HAYLEE

~<>~

It was instant, sudden, and soul-crushing. It was consuming and extremely painful. It was the kind of pain that I had never experienced in my life.

Coming from me, a young woman who has experienced pain since she was born? Coming from me, who had to endure every kind of pain ever known to my kind?

However, all the pain I have experienced in my life, combined, doesn't sum up to what seized my body in an instant, throwing me into the very source of agony.

“Ah!” I cried out sharply before I could stop myself.

Sophia, who was in my bedroom with me, looked at me with concern. It pained me to see her face knit with worry, but I couldn't help it. In fact, it felt like the devil himself had decided to pour his entire lake of fire into me.

My sweat glands became hyperactive just as suddenly as the pain. I couldn't breathe properly. Heck! I couldn't seem to think properly.

“Haylee,” Sophia called out to me, but I couldn't respond.

I couldn't use my tongue to speak, but I could scream

    HAYLEE~~“I’m pregnant with your child, Alpha Jett.” The world as I knew it froze at that moment. My eyes widened and my breaths became shallow as shock and undefinable emotions coursed through my body, replacing the initial excitement and hope that I was feeling.This can’t be h-hapening… This should never happen. Those words shouldn’t be coming out of my sister’s mouth… her eyes shouldn’t be glinting like that for goddess’s sake!She was my twin sister and–“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Alpha Jett’s voice cut through the thick layer of my thoughts.If I weren’t looking at his face, I would think he was mad about my twin sister’s announcement but the twinkle in his eyes. He was happy. My twin sister just announced that she was carrying his child before everyone in the pack during a party meant to celebrate my nineteenth birthday… A party I believed would be used to crown me Luna of Cresent Moon Pack because a year ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I discovered that Alpha Jett was

    HAYLEE~~I was ripped off Kaylee by the familiar coarse hands that had shown me to the door of hell many times in the past– my father’s hands. For the first time, I cried to the father in the beast he had willingly shown me over the years. I stupidly thought he would take my side for the first time. A girl could wish, right? So I cried, “Dad, you can’t let her do this. You can’t just stand there and watch Kaylee snatch my mate–” But my statement was interrupted when his palm settled over my cheek like thunder. He slapped me and I tasted blood in my mouth as my father yelled in my wet face, “How dare you attack your sister! How dare you lay your hands on her? The Alpha has chosen a mate and it’s not you even though the moon goddess thought someone as plain as you could be Cresent Moon Pack’s Luna. That was a mistake on her path and we have corrected her mistake.” No, the only mistake here was having him as a father. The only mistake was picking to look like my heartless mother wh

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I don't know.I don't know how to exist in a world where my mate doesn't. A world without my Laura. I have spent the last five days beside her motionless body and even in that state she managed to look beautiful. She managed to capture my heart like we were teenagers again. How I wished she would open her eyes and tell me, “It’s a joke, Xalen. How can I die and leave you and the kids?” But today, I had to put her to rest. I had to bury her according to tradition so she could find peace in the afterlife. My heart was heavier than my bulky body and breathing felt like a crime because Laura wasn’t breathing. She was six feet under the ground we used to walk as the King and Queen of the werewolf realm–“Come forward and present your gifts.” My trusted Beta, Evan, voiced, calling on the visiting Alphas and leaders of the numerous packs under my jurisdiction.The funeral has ended as far as I was concerned. I had buried Luara and I don’t understand why these people

    HAYLEE~~Fuck me!What the fuck was I thinking? No. I didn’t think when I heard that little child crying.My stupid brain just reacted to her and as I have always done with kids, I reached for her and offered comfort because no one offered that to me when I was growing up with an abusive father and a mean sister.And now that I was standing before the Alpha King, my heart was about to beat its way out of my chest. My body shook with fear as cold shivers traveled down my spine. There was something about his dark eyes that–“Don’t make me repeat myself?” His voice was cold, laced with anger that no one deserves, not even a criminal.I took my eyes off him, fighting the uneasiness my wolf was feeding my mind with. I said slowly, “I’m Haylee from–’ “Silence!” He snapped at me, causing me to jump away from him. If my mind wasn't shaky at the moment, I would have wondered why he asked me a question only to shut me up when I gathered enough courage to respond. However, I could only thin

    HAYLEE~~“How dare you!” the hostile voice pierced my eardrums before an icy feeling cut through my skin, sending shivers down my spine. My eyes flew open and I jolted to my feet even though my brain wasn’t fully awake. I wobbled, my body shivering as I felt another icy feeling. I was drenched. I was soaked. Yet, I couldn’t scream as my eyes met with Owen’s angry ones. “How dare you fall asleep, Slave?” Owen, the head of servants in the Royal Pack, snarled at me.He was holding two black buckets whose content he just poured all over me. My hair and the dark brown dress I was given three days ago were dripping. The chilly air of the night wasn’t helping my case– everything was against me.“I d-doze—” I tried to speak but my teeth chattered and I instinctively wrapped my arms around my body, “You dozed?” Owen hissed. Ever since the Alpha King stopped me from leaving the hall three days ago, my life has changed drastically. One would think the Alpha King who didn’t hide his hatred

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   6. My Compass

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Really?” I barked.Anger built up within me as the hope I was holding on to seemed to be fading every second. I had so many people around me yet I felt so alone. I once had a plan for my life and future but now? Now I was lost with no hope of finding my way. Perhaps if Laura comes back to life. She was my compass– My moral and geographical compass. “We have searched and did everything we can, My King but there’s no evidence that the Queen was murdered.” My Royal Gamma, Wyatt, repeated as he fell on his knees before my throne. “Then have the trackers tear everything down,” I growled, barely keeping my ass on my throne.Wyatt was too scared to open his mouth so Evan stepped in and said to me, “The trackers did everything, My King. The Healers also testified that they found nothing toxic in her body. It’s a natural death–” “Don’t even tell me that!” I cut my Royal Beta off. “How can that be a natural death? She gave birth to Jodie without complications and two

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   7. Kill Me Himself

    HAYLEE~~I was drained of every bit of energy. Yet I was still standing in the kitchen where I had been since I woke up in the wee hours of this morning. I barely slept for three hours before I got up to prep for the warriors’ breakfast. It’s like preparing a meal for every member of the Crescent Moon Pack. After preparing breakfast with little to no help from the servants who used to do these chores before I was brought into the pack as a slave, I started preparing lunch for the chiefs of the pack because they would be having a meeting in a few hours and Owen had started talking about all I had to do for the Royal Family dinner. My sight was foggy, my throat was dry and the worms in my stomach were biting me, crying to be fed. However, despite having different dishes around me, I wasn’t allowed to eat any. Owen would kill me.“Just serve yourself a plate, Haylee. We need the strength. We need to sleep.” Liya cried into my mind. The last time I shifted and let Liya have a meal o

    HAYLEE~~I didn’t know which one I paid more attention to with every second that passed without a word from the Alpha King– Owen’s shaky frame or the lips that kept parting only to close again like their owner couldn’t make up his mind. “I was ju-just correcting the Slave, My King. She was dis-disrespectful and stole–” If I was going to die, I would rather die a criminal who touched the King’s child and had the audacity to appear before him as his second chance’s mate at his beloved Queen’s funeral, than be called a thief for eating one spoon of rice. With that thought in mind, I cut Owen off, sounding more confident for some weird reason and despite the Alpha King’s presence, “I didn’t steal. I haven’t eaten in three days, My King and I know I’m a slave but I need food just like everyone else. I need food and sleep to function and I haven’t been having enough. If you want me dead, chop off my head or throw me to the rogues but please do not treat me like I’m lesser than–” “Shus

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~With every second that ticked by, the flame of fury burned hotter within me.With every word that came out of the mouth of the man that I have looked up to for many years. The man who has made me resist the urge to go to war. The man who raised me and taught me the principles that my dad abided by when he was King. With every word that came out of this man’s mouth, I questioned every message we had shared. I questioned the feeling I had for him. I might not show it much, but I actually respected Uncle Calvin. Heck! I adored him. He became my parent after I lost my biological ones. Scratch that! He became my parent after he killed my biological ones. He wanted me dead as a matter of fact. He wanted me dead so he could have the throne. As if he hadn't done enough damage to me, he disrupted my mate's bond, tricked me, stabbed me in the back repeatedly, and even now, he wasn't remorseful. Yet I didn't make a move to rip his tongue out of his fucking mouth. I nee

    ALPHA PRINCE ROY’S POV ~~“Tell me everything you did, Calvin, or you won’t live to see the next hour.”Xalen’s anger pierced through my soul as he snarled at my dad, whose fear was evident in his eyes. Not to digress, but never has he looked at me like that. I am no king after all. He has been acting nonchalant since this argument began, and not that I planned for Xalen to overhear us, but I was glad he did. At least now I would get answers out of the man who called himself my father. “Xalen–” My dad struggled to pull himself together. But Xalen barked at him, “Don’t even dare use my name, Calvin. Just answer the same question. You know better than to lie to me, right?”“You don’t understand–” My dad tried again. But yet again, Xalen cut him off, “Do I have to force the truth out of you? You of all people should know what I am capable of.”It was as if I was no longer in the room. It was as if it was just Xalen and my dad, just like in the past. But unlike those days when the

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Roy LeRoy!” Uncle Calvin shouted at Roy.That was strange because every time Roy was mentioned in his absence, Uncle Calvin showed nothing but happiness. He was always happy to see Roy, as far as I knew, so what was going on with them?“You aren't going anywhere until you tell me what I need to know, Dad,” Roy seethed angrily.I was standing outside their entrance door. I was about to knock when I heard the noise and perceived the unnaturally thick tension between my uncle and his son. Since I had never seen them argue, my interest spiked immediately, and I hid my scent to conceal my presence as I listened to their argument.“This is wrong,” Theo said to me, yet he helped me heighten my senses so I could hear the duo clearly from where I was standing.“I have told you why I had to send you away and lie that Xalen wanted you gone, Roy. What more do you want? An apology? Or would you like me to turn back the hands of time so you can stay here and fight with your co

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   115. The Truth

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I can confirm that this body and the Queen's body share similarities, and their deaths might be as a result of the same cause,” Flavia said after hours of doing her thing with the guard’s body. The daylight was sneaking into the cell from the windows, illuminating the mess the guard's body had become after whatever Flavia did to him.“Can you be more precise? How are they similar? Can this help me in any way?” I asked, even though Flavia didn't know the entire story.Even Wyatt didn't know the entire story.It was just Roy and Haylee who knew what Laura had done and why I was anxious to get proof to back the claims I would have to present to the elders and the entire realm before it was too late.“My King, just like in the Queen's case, the body is clean of everything that could kill a werewolf. There's no poison, no sign of silver, and definitely no sign of struggle. It looks like a natural death, but even a natural death usually has causes most times. However,

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“How did this happen?”That has been the question on my mind since last night. It has been echoing in my mind all night, yet I haven't come up with an answer.Wyatt was with me, but even he couldn't help me solve the mystery he broke to me last night. Perhaps I need to go back a few hours.After Wyatt called me out last night, I struggled to detach Sophia from my body, but when I eventually did, I had to rush down to the cell where Wyatt was waiting for me. I found him standing over a still body, and I immediately recognized the palace guard who Allison slept with and framed.Yes, he didn't die.Wait a second. He is dead.But he isn't supposed to be dead.I didn't kill him the other day, even though I made everyone believe that it was his head that was chopped off by the guillotine. The plan was to keep him alive but locked up in a private cell so no one would be able to get to him.The plan was to have him testify against Allison when I finally got other undeniab

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   113. A Grave Mistake

    HAYLEE~~I tried not to be disappointed when Alpha King Xalen didn’t make it to my room that night. The memories we created together during the day were more than enough to keep my heart fluttering through the night. However, I was quite disappointed when I didn’t get to see in the next morning after performing my morning duties. I wasn’t the only one who was unhappy, though. Sophia was too, because she assumed she would wake up to him just like she did yesterday.Asher didn’t seem to care much. He simply wanted to have breakfast. But Princess Allison, who was even more disappointed than Sophia and I combined, didn’t hide her disappointment when Xalen didn’t show up for breakfast once again. The kids and I didn’t know he wouldn't make it to breakfast, so we made the mistake of going to the dining hall where Princess Allison had been waiting. As soon as I realized that Xalen wasn’t there, I reversed, but I couldn’t make it out of there before Princess Allison could see me. “Where

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~The laughter, bubbling, squealing, and giggling didn’t end at the park. It continued in the car and even as we walked back into my palace. Although it was obvious that Asher and Jodie were worn out, they still had the energy to make loud happy noises with Sophia. And as always, Haylee went ahead to join them, fueling their happiness, and I must admit that nothing had ever felt perfect. This right here felt like family. Scratch that! I mean to say, this right here was family. Haylee didn’t fit in. Instead, she was right where she was meant to be. Even though I hadn't told her about my theory about how she was my first mate, I held that in my heart, using it to free my mind of every pain that Laura had caused me. “You shouldn’t think about her right now. We had an awesome day. Don’t let the thought of her ruin it.” Theo cautioned me, wagging his tail in my head like some lovebombed puppy. “Hey! I’m no puppy!” “That’s why I used the word LIKE,” I scoffed, emphas

    HAYLEE~~“Goddess knows I want to see Kaylee's face right now,” Liya grunted within my mind, but that wasn't all. She added with the same passion, “I wish they could see us now, here with this beautiful family.” Honestly, I wished I could see Kaylee's face as well. She, our dad, and Alpha Jett believed they sentenced me to death, but look at where I have found myself. I would be lying if I said the journey wasn't hard, but the good thing was that I got here. I was here in a park with Alpha King Xalen and the kids. I was laughing as I went down the slides with Sophia and Asher, my inner child who had been deprived of all of these, came to life, living for the very first time.Maybe I did die, and this was paradise. “Huh. That's far-fetched. It's not paradise until Allison is gone and you get crowned, Haylee. It would be paradise when Kaylee and Dad get to attend your coronation ceremony. It would definitely be heaven when Alpha Jett sees you living the life he could never have gi
