The Alpha King's Hated Mate 169. Alpha Prince Roy’s POV (9)
Alpha Prince Roy’s POV~~He did deserve to die.After everything he had done to me, to Xalen, and to the family, he deserved to die the most painful death.Falling into a well and breaking his neck on impact seemed like an excruciating way to die, and yes, my betrayer of a father deserved it. I fully agree with this perspective, but why the hell was I burning with anger?Why did my eyes sting as I watched warriors pull his decaying body out of the well after hours of discussing the best possible way to do that? Why did I feel the need to punch someone, anyone, just because I found out that my father was dead?I didn’t understand this feeling, but I tried to explain it and convince myself that I was this angry because I didn’t get to torture my dad before he died. The initial plan after he shot Xalen and me and escaped was to find him and make him pay, but how do we make a dead, rotting man pay for his crimes?Jax chimed within me, his anger merging with mine as we both watched my da

ALPHA KING XALEN~~Goddess, I was driven by undiluted rage.I mean, how dare he point fingers at my woman? My Haylee!Yes, Evan didn’t know who gave me the information, nor did he know that Haylee had become my mate. My marked mate, in fact. Evan’s explanation was also logical, but who cares about logic?He definitely wouldn’t care when he discovered the whole truth.“This is why we should tell the pack about the bond as soon as possible. I am not sure I can stand any more of these disrespects and accusations that are getting thrown at Haylee,” Theo gritted within me, coming to Haylee’s defense.I agreed with my wolf and made the decision to introduce Haylee to the entire pack the next day. I had to spend the entire day away from her because of my uncle, and when I leave here, I will have to go to the healers’ examination room to get updates.Being away from Haylee was hard—harder than finding my uncle’s dead body in a well.Evan, whose oblivion to my state of mind would soon get hi

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“This doesn't make any sense,” Roy blurted before I could, shaking his head, and I assumed he was thinking back to the last time we saw and heard his dad. “He shot me about ten days ago. He spoke to me, so you are mistaken.”Flavia immediately understood Roy's emotional turmoil. She removed her healer’s coat and walked up to her mate, holding him so her scent could calm him down.“I think we should take this to a more private place. Something is off, and now everyone should be a suspect,” Flavia murmured, looking around as a few of my men and healers moved around to do their thing.Gladys muttered, “I will stay here to keep an eye on the body and cross-examine the results, my king. But I have to say that I don’t expect anything to change. This man has been dead almost since the time the queen passed away.”My heart tightened not just because it killed me to hear that but also because I was confused. How could that be?I recall having many deep moments with Uncle

HAYLEE~~I had never seen Roy so out of control. Even when he was mad at Xalen, his anger was contained, and he meticulously planned his next move. But the second he saw Allison, who could easily be his dad’s killer, he lost it all.Some of the curse words that slipped past his lips had never been heard before now, and Allison looked frightened because she could sense that the man approaching her wasn’t the same one she had overlooked many times since he returned to the pack.He was angry.He was a ferocious alpha male whose anger had driven him to the point of violence.Fortunately for Allison, Flavia caught up to Roy before he could get to her. She wrapped her arms around his midsection and skillfully twisted around him, standing between him and Allison within a second.“No, Roy,” Flavia uttered, holding his gaze while he shook visibly.“She is one of them, babe! She is Richard’s daughter, and she could have easily carried out his evil work. She could be the killer and I have to—

Princess Allison’s POV~~It’s been a crazy, humiliating day for me.I still hadn’t gotten over the marks Haylee and Alpha King Xalen had given themselves overnight, yet I was getting accused of murder. Not that I cared that Elder Calvin was dead, but it kinda worried me to think he was gone.I mean, wasn’t he the same man I had been talking to over the phone? I thought he had been helping me, or should I say I had been led to believe he was the mystery ally I thought could help me.After the news of what he did spread, I simply assumed he was working with my dad, and while that would be a conflict of interest, I believed my dad had found a way to tie Elder Calvin down just like he did to the red wolf in our basement.“We have to reach out to him, Allie. I know you are terrified, but now that Elder Calvin is dead, you need to know what’s going on,” Nala said, urging me to drop my fears and call my dad.My dad had tried to reach me this morning. In fact, I missed several calls from h

HAYLEE~~“She didn’t show up.”My wolf, who heard every thought that crossed my mind throughout the night, said this as soon as my eyes fluttered open for the hundredth time that morning.I had been slipping in and out of consciousness all through the night, hoping and longing to be sucked into the realm that allowed me to communicate with a woman I knew nothing about but who had proven to be valuable after Elder Calvin was found where she said he would be, even though she didn’t mention that he was dead.A realm where I could be Nerina.But even though I tried, I didn’t get to meet with my supposed mother.“Or I failed to connect with her.” I sighed, pushing myself off Xalen’s bed, which we both fell into last night after we hit a dead end with the red wolf theory, but he wasn’t here at the moment. “I remember she said something about how I brought her to that realm the last time we were there.”“That’s accurate, and the two times you were able to reach her, you and Xalen connecte

ALPHA KING XALEN~~It wasn't surprising when Gladys confirmed that, truly, Uncle Calvin's death happened over two months ago, and neither was I stunned when she announced that he was poisoned with loads of poisonous silver.“Whoever fake Calvin was, he helped us figure out a lot even though he was trying to do the opposite,” Theo told me as Roy and I walked towards my pack office, where I planned to meet with Evan and Wyatt.I couldn't disagree because Theo was completely right.Thanks to fake Calvin, I discovered that Laura and I had a fake bond, made up with Roy, and found my way to Haylee without having to feel guilty.Thanks to fake Calvin, I understand that I had to be careful because even though I had lost so much, I still had so much more to lose.“It's unbelievable, My King,” Wyatt breathed after we all settled down in my Pack office. “The healers explained the result of the examination to us, but I can’t believe such a thing happened, and we didn’t know until now.”Evan no

HAYLEE~~One minute I was thinking about going to Gladys for help and more training that could help me reach my supposed mother, but the next minute, Xalen and Roy returned home, and we all began to prepare for the general pack meeting in the throne room.When I asked Xalen what the meeting was about, he answered before kissing me chastely, “You will see, Hay.”He also made me wear the prettiest dress that I owned before he left to get a few documents in his home office. I left his bedroom and joined Flavia and the kids downstairs, waiting for Roy and Xalen to join us.However, Allison showed up before both men, and she grumbled, “Prepare to be shoved right back to where you belong, slave.”While Flavia growled at her and stepped forward to show Allison that she wouldn’t hesitate to smack her, I ignored her completely because she was the least of my problems right now. Although I had been trying to explain the power Allison somehow possessed, I didn’t let her words get to me.“She i

ALPHA KING XALEN~~ Nothing kills a man faster than having to watch the woman he loves suffer, and I was no different from any other man.In fact, because I was the Alpha King, seeing Haylee, my mate and the woman I loved, suffering because of the lapse in my judgment and my failure to protect her name was killing me faster yet so slowly.It was torture.Of course, I didn’t regret killing Benita, even though her death had led to protests and more suffering for Haylee. However, I have come to realize that I could have kept her alive until she told the truth and cleared my mate’s name.Killing Benita after she soiled Haylee’s name and person was a wrong move, and we were all paying for that mistake. Haylee is paying more than the rest of us.“Does she have to attend the meeting with us? She could just stay at home where she would be safe,” Theo complained as we both watched Haylee prepare for the meeting through my worried eyes.“Be safe?” I exhaled. “We both know she is safer when s
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 209. Dark and Evil
HAYLEE~~“What has gotten into you?” Jose snapped at me, his voice low but still loud enough for the few servants who had gathered in the living room to hear him. “Will you ever stop? She is a helpless woman and—”“Jose!” I cried out, wondering if the kind soul that used to be my best friend was still in there. I was breaking underneath all the weight and attacks, and even though Xalen was with me, it would be nice to have the man I used to know by my side.It would be nice to have my Leo.The one I used to have before all this craziness. Before he became Kaylee’s mate and got into trouble because of me. The one I used to trust. The one I would be able to trust in this kind of situation.“When do you plan to stop all of this? You are breaking the realm apart, and you aren't even Queen yet!” Jose snapped at me, ignoring my cry for help. Rather than be the friend I needed, he joined the army of people who wouldn’t hesitate to stone me to death.What was I expecting? Stupid, stupid Ha
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 208. The Dark Witch
HAYLEE~~It’s been a week since my mate angrily defended me and shut Benita up permanently. It’s been a week since Benita died, but it still feels like yesterday, not just because I still see her face each time I close my eyes, but because her death has brought about a huge protest.The tension in the Pack has grown larger and more intense over this week, but so has the protest against what the Pack members call the dark witch and her tyrant mate. In other words, they have been protesting to have me exiled and against Xalen’s actions—or lack of action—towards Allison’s supposed predicament.Aside from the protest, the servants have also been avoiding me. If they weren’t staying clear of me, the dark witch, they would be rude to me openly. In fact, they chose the perfect time to do that. Usually, when I am alone, they are in groups.My family—Xalen, Roy, Flavia, the kids, and Gladys—has been my source of strength during this chaotic time, but whenever they couldn’t be with me, I wou
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 207. Princess Allison’s POV (26)
Princess Allison’s POV ~~“Your father and I once planned to make Elder Calvin look like the villain. Make the king believe Elder Calvin was working with Laura to get her pregnant by Prince Roy’s seeds,” he began.I didn’t know the full plan, but I knew that it involved the letters Alpha King Xalen found in the bedroom he once shared with his late queen. The man standing before me confirmed that when he continued speaking with so much confidence.“Do you recall the letters? They were exchanged between Laura and me. She wasn’t easy to manipulate because of the bond she had with Roy and that kind heart of hers, but what choice did she have? She knew I could easily kill everyone she loved, so she had to do as I said, but even that wasn’t enough, so I took her out.”The manner in which he announced that casually scared me to my bones, or maybe it was the indifferent spark in his eyes.“You see how carefully crafted those plans are? Well, until Elder Calvin’s body was found, I almost lo
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 206. Princess Allison’s POV (25)
Princess Allison’s POV ~~What in the royal pack is happening?The head of the woman who just openly restored my honor fell to the ground, but that one question still echoed in my mind.“What the hell is happening?” I gasped internally, tears rolling down my chin as I played the part that Benita had given me.It was sudden, of course, but I didn’t fail to play my part perfectly. I could feel hands on my shoulders, comforting me, and even though the urge to shake off the flirty hands on me was intense, I controlled myself, crying like a helpless pregnant woman.Benita was dead. Alpha King Xalen was angry. Haylee was stunned, speechless, and frozen in her spot. The pack was in disarray, while I was confused as hell.I mean, why would Benita do that? She told me she didn’t want Haylee to be queen, but why would she sacrifice her life to make sure of that? Why didn’t she mention my name like I knew Haylee and the King expected, even though I hadn’t been the nicest person to her?“Whate
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 205. The Villain
HAYLEE~~I heard her right. Right?She mentioned my name. Benita, the so-called friend who tried to kill me with different kinds of poison, said Haylee put her up to it.The question is, which Haylee?I mean, there has to be another Haylee in the pack. Perhaps her name is spelled differently from mine—Hailey or maybe Hayley. Urgh, fuck!Frustration slipped into my blood vessels because a huge part of me knew that Benita was referring to me, and it was confirmed when she looked my way and spat with so much hatred, “The supposed Queen put me up to this. If I had known this was the game she was trying to play, I wouldn’t have listened to her.”Benita burst into tears, shedding crocodile tears, but they looked real enough to get a reaction out of the crowd. In fact, she pulled their heartstrings even more when she whimpered, “But I am s-simply a lowly servant. I d-dare not say no to the queen.”I couldn’t believe my ears, yet my body shook with the same rage I had tried so damn hard to
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 204. Tale to Tell
HAYLEE~~As much as Xalen wanted me to rest and get a good night's sleep, I couldn’t. All through the night, I was restless, not because I was worried that Benita would get silenced like the guard that Xalen once secretly held in captivity, but because I wasn’t sure she would tell the truth.I was restless because I knew Xalen wouldn’t hesitate to torture her family if she failed to confess and mention Allison’s name. I hadn’t met any member of Benita’s family, but I knew I couldn’t handle watching them suffer when they hadn’t done anything wrong.After all, they didn’t stab me in the back. Benita did.“What can I do to help you relax, Hay?” Xalen’s voice pierced my thoughts, and my worried gaze shifted to him in a second. “I can hear the wheels turning in your head. I don’t like that.”We were both in our bedroom, waiting for Benita to confess or for her given time to elapse. Although neither of us said anything about waiting, I could tell we were doing just that.“What if Allison
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 203. Princess Allison’s POV (24)
Princess Allison’s POV (24)~~I have screamed. I have cried. I have broken every breakable valuable in my bedroom—or should I call it my prison, because it was beginning to suffocate me? I have even considered returning home to my father.Yes, he will punish me, but at least he will help me get my powers back. I never knew he would take them away from me. Hell! I didn’t even know he could take them until Haylee made me see the truth.Goddess! How I wished I could blame Haylee and finally find a way to tear her apart with the support of the pack members that had sworn to protect me. However, she was right. My dad had screwed me.Ever since I discovered that my power was gone, I have been thinking. I have been trying so damn hard to make use of my intellect and come up with a plan that would help me defeat Haylee, claim the throne, and make my dad lick my feet.However, I haven’t come up with a single plan. Or, more appropriately, I haven't come up with a single perfect plan.How do I
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 202. Raging Soul
HAYLEE~~The anger swirling within me was unlike any emotion I had felt before.I had experienced intense sadness, but even that didn’t come close to what I was feeling in that moment as I stared at Benita’s scared but unremorseful face. She was a reminder of every bad occurrence that had marred my life.She was a reminder of how meaningless promises and bonds could be.She was a reminder of the one curse I thought was broken—no one could love me genuinely.Alone in this cruel world, I began to wonder if anyone truly loved me. My heart shattered at the thought that Xalen’s love might be fake too. Flavia as well. What if I were back where I started?Yet I was in a different setting, where everyone pretended to love me, unlike the undiluted hatred my previous circles hadn’t hesitated to show me.“That’s your emotions talking, Hay. You know Xalen loves you. You can feel it through the bond, and the fact that you can converse with Aradia is further proof that he isn’t faking his feelin
