ALPHA KING XALEN

~<>~

“What did you just do!” Theo exclaimed, groaning right after as raw pain consumed us both even though the slave had stopped talking.

My body trembled as shock shook my core, making me wonder. I mean, how on earth did this happen? How is that possible?

While I tried to fathom what just happened with the slave, Theo yelled at me again, “What did you just do, Xalen?”

“I knocked her the fuck out. That’s what!” I groaned, my entire body aching with no explainable source of pain.

“Why would you do that? You were this close to killing her.” My wolf lashed out at me, snarling within my mind.

“I wasn’t even trying to kill her and why are you blaming me when I just saved us from feeling any more pain!” I growled right back, looking down at the slave’s unconscious body.

A few seconds again, she had fallen into my arms but I was quick to drop her as her skin burned mine like a hot rock.

“Knocking her out doesn’t help. We can still feel the pain and as soon as she wakes up

    HAYLEE~~“Argh…” I groaned as my eyes fluttered, my head aching like it was about to explode. I blinked rapidly, holding my head as I pushed myself off the soft surface of my bed–Wait a second.Where am I? My blurry eyes looked around and I realized that I was indeed in my room and on my bed. If my head was banging, I would have thought what happened between Alpha King Xalen and me was a dream… a terrible dream. One where he confessed that he couldn’t fight the pull of the bond and one where he nearly took my life because I tried to reject him… a terrible dream. As the memories of what I assumed was last night, as I could see the brightness of a new day sneaking into my room through the windows, flooded my mind, I started wishing that all of it was a dream. It would be better and easier that way–“It’s not a dream. We were this close to death, Hay.” Liya let out a wolfy sob, reliving the injustice we suffered at the hands of our supposed mate, one who was supposed to protect

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I felt everything… I felt how she tried to reject me again and how she couldn’t. More importantly, I felt her pain like it was mine and it took so much of my strength not to groan before my special adviser or if we are being informal, my uncle.Also, I felt the rage that followed the pain and I didn’t have to be told to know that she had realized that I had taken away her right to reject me—the benefits of being the Alpha King. A tiny part of me felt happy as her anger swelled within me. She was a little crazy. Timid but crazy. I have seen her craziness a few times when she gets pushed to the wall. It’s like she says whatever comes to mind at that point and forgets about the consequences that might come after.She was interesting and I most likely would have gotten to know her better under a different circumstance or maybe I wouldn’t have met her at all.“My King?” My uncle’s voice resonated through my office as he called to get my attention.I exhaled audi

    HAYLEE~~“Let me reject you or I will make it easier for us both by killing myself…” I meant every word. The pain I would feel when the knife slit my throat can’t compare to all the pain I had endured in my nineteen years of living as the pathetic daughter and the unwanted mate. I was done. Liya was fighting against my will but my mind was made up. Alpha King Xalen either rejects me or watches me kill myself. “You have no right to barge into my office, slave…” He seethed, balling his fists as his face turned red.I could see the way his eyes dated from my face to the knife I was holding to my neck even though he remained unreadable. The only emotions I had seen him wear proudly were anger and pain when he was reminded of his Queen. “You have no right to stop me from rejecting you, Alpha King. It’s my right and you took it from me–”He snarled, “I have every right. I’m your king and I own you. You belong to me!” As tears fell out of my eyes, I pressed the sharp knife I had take

    HAYLEE~~Day after day, I served my master. A master who wouldn’t look at me, touch me, or speak to me... Mostly because I had made sure our paths didn't cross in the huge Palace. Day after day, I have worked and cared for children that weren’t mine. I wasn’t complaining because of the natural love I felt toward kids but my natural love had been tested many times these past few days. Aside from the pain their father had caused me, the experience of the past few days had traumatized me and more than usual, I have been quiet. If allowed to diagnose myself, I would say my broken parts have shattered into more pieces. I was depressed. Also, the fact that Princess Sophia hated me wasn’t making my life any easier. I recalled supporting her when her Dad asked her to apologize, but the little Princess had somehow forgotten that or maybe she hated me for doing that.Whatever reason she had, she was hell-bent on making my life even more difficult. Just yesterday, Princess Sophia entered

I didn’t tell anyone where I was going but I assumed they would know.I didn’t waste much time before I returned home where I knew Alpha Richard and my uncle would be waiting for me. I also knew that Alpha Richard would be burning with anger as I didn’t respect him enough to receive him myself but who cares what a greedy man like him thinks? This was my chance to make him understand that even though I had agreed to meet him, I was still in charge. “Can you feel that?” Theo asked me as I pushed the front door of my home open, stepping into the living room and shifting my gaze from Alpha Richard to the other people he came with. “What now, Theo?” I asked my wolf even though I knew what he was calling my attention to. It was the feeling… The feeling that had been constant within me since I tied the salve’s consciousness to mine so I could s

    HAYLEE~~“Enough!” I saw that coming from the second the late Queen was mentioned, but surprisingly, Alpha King Xalen didn’t lash out until the visiting Alpha dropped the bomb. The earth shook underneath my feet, or maybe I was the one who shook as the King’s anger spread through the room, hitting us all.“How dare you?” Alpha King Xalen snarled. “How dare you come to my pack... to my home and suggest your daughter replace my Laura?”Even the moon goddess couldn’t replace the late Queen in the Alpha King’s heart. To save myself from the hell I knew the Alpha King was about to invoke on the visiting Alpha, I stepped backward. My eyes lingered on Jodie, who was still in his arms, and I considered saving the baby as well, but before I could act on that thought, the visiting Alpha responded, a little shaky but quite confidently, “She is not replacing the late Queen, Alpha King. She will be the next Queen, joining the two Royal Families together and ending the strive between—” “I sai

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Damn!” I gritted, growling continuously as I began to pace before the desk in my office. The kind of anger coursing through me was one that consumed me. I was blinded by this rage. Each breath I took was rage. Each one I exhaled was rageful. I was shaking with rage, and knowing that my hands had been tied did nothing to reduce this rage.“My King–” Uncle Calvin tried to speak. But I seethed, barely stopping myself from throwing the desk at him, “Don’t even dare utter a word!” "In this dire situation, you know I can not just keep quiet—" Oh, I knew that, but that didn’t stop me from storming over to him. I shut him up with one glare and hiss in his face. “What is it that you have to say? You should have figured out the details of his proposal. You should have done research before letting me see him. Damn! I should have been prepared.”Alpha Richard and his daughter won this round. They knew that too well when they left my home with the intention of calling fo

    HAYLEE~~The beginning of my second month in the palace as the Alpha King’s slave and nanny to his kids also marked the beginning of change. The change began the very day Princess Allison was moved into the palace, much to the Alpha King’s dismay. I had never seen him so defeated, angry, and full of hate.Do I pity him? Hell no!He had used his powers against me in the past and is still using them to keep me captive in a bond we both clearly didn’t want, and seeing him defeated kind of made me feel happy. I mean, the playing field has been leveled. “Be careful with that. I don’t want a scratch on it.” Princess Allison ordered the warriors that were moving her valuables into the palace. From the look of things and the number of properties that she came with, it seemed as if she was here to stay. Now that didn’t make me happy. That made my chest constrict.“He took her in as a prospective mate? They are practically engaged to marry in three months.” Liya snarled within me. Everyo

    HAYLEE~~I was wrong to think the change in my title wouldn’t change my routine. I mean, I have become the talk of the pack, but also people approach me now. Just yesterday, I was walking around the palace with Princess Sophia and baby Jodie when a group of servants who walked past us greeted not just the princesses but me as well.They acknowledge my presence.“I hadn't noticed how much our scent changed when we were demoted by Alpha Jett, until the promtion from Alpha King Xalen,” Liya said to me, enjoying every bit of this new attention even though I knew I would soon shy away from them.I had just put Princess Jodie to bed for her afternoon nap. Prince Asher was also taking a nap, and Princess Sophia was somewhere in the palace, doing goddess knows what. I would have gone in search of the Princess if I hadn’t planned to get food from the palace kitchen, eat, and take a nap right after.However, my plan was interrupted when Benita and two other servants walked into the kitchen j

    Princess Allison’s POV~~No reactions?Not even a single one from any of them?Yes, Sophia failed me first, but never in a thousand worlds had I imagined that Alpha King Xalen would also fail me. Or was my intention to wipe out their precious mom and beloved mate wasn’t clear enough? Was I not doing enough?Could I be losing my touch already? Hell, I just got here for goddess’s sake!“Relax, Allie. We aren’t losing touch.” Nala said into my mind, more like seethed. “This shows that we must go lower to get his attention.” “How low are you talking about?” I asked my wolf as I slammed the door to my bedroom. “Do you remember what Dad said before we left home? Nala asked me. I nodded instantly. “He said we have an ally within this pack. Someone close to the Alpha King and that this ally has enough to break Alpha King Xalen’s strong spirit.”“Exactly.” Nala chimed in response. “I believe it’s time we reach out to this ally.”Although my wolf was smart, I couldn’t agree with her at t

    HAYLEE~~As I rushed after Princess Sophia and Prince Asher with their little sister in my arms, I asked myself why anyone in their right mind would be hellbent on making kids as young as five and three years old sad. What is she driving at?What point is she trying to make? “The same point Dad and Kaylee had been trying to make all our lives,” Liya said to me. My wolf’s response made me realize that people like my dad, Kaylee, and Princess Allison really have reasons to be who they are. My dad claimed he was harsh with me because I was a replica of my mom, but that wasn't enough to abuse any child. Kaylee claimed the reason she hated me was because I stole her life, her mate, and everything from her, but I never did, and even if I did, it wasn’t enough reason for her to give me into slavery and wish me death. After all, she took everything from me, and I still don’t wish her death. In Princess Allison’s case, the desire to be Queen has blinded her enough to kill any sense of h

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   39. A Royal Help

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I still haven't gotten over the emotions from yesterday. The anger Allison called out of me. The worry and guilt Haylee poured into me. Plus the hunger I had to resist during the moment Haylee and I shared last night. Although she didn’t seem to notice, controlling my hunger around her was becoming harder. This explains the jealousy I felt when I saw her walk in with Jose, Allison’s guard—that reminds me! I need to tell Wyatt to find out who Jose was and how he got to know Haylee. I quickly sent a message to my Gamma, asking him to see me at my main office, where I would be going today, to avoid anymore drama from Allison and unwanted feelings from Haylee. Despite these demanding feelings, I got out of bed and joined my kids in the dining hall. As soon as I entered the hall, Sophia grumbled, “Why is breakfast not here yet? I’m starving."Haylee’s voice hit my eardrums, and I was this close to letting out a deep possessive growl, “I can make something for you,

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   38. Princess Allison's POV (1)

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~My mission in the royal pack was simple—make his life a living hell, frustrate him until he abandoned the throne, give my family the chance to take over the rulership of this realm, or, even better, make him marry me in the next three months.If I were being honest, I wouldn’t want to marry a man who was still stuck on his late wife and mate. However, this was politics, and as my father’s oldest daughter, it was my duty to bring the crown home.“He either marries you or dies, Allie.” My wolf, Nala, seethed into my mind as I descended the stairs, heading over to the kitchen. “I mean, what’s the point if he leaves the throne or gets dethroned by the Elders? He has a son, for goddess’s sake.”Nala was one who never took chances. My wolf is the reason I’m so confident, even when Alpha King Xalen is yelling in my face. Nala was a hothead. Fuck that—she was a volcano that looks peaceful but can erupt at any fucking time.My wolf was the reason my dad trusted me t

    HAYLEE~~“I didn’t mean to hurt you, Haylee. I’m sorry.” Alpha King Xalen said to me in a tone that sounded almost unrecognizable because it was too soft to be his, and for a minute there, the world as I knew it ceased to exist. I couldn’t believe my ears and neither could I get my tongue to function as his eyes locked with mine.“He didn’t say that. Has to be the bugs in your ears, Hay,” Liya said to me, unable to wrap her mind around Alpha King Xalen’s supposed apology as well. Liya’s statement was believable until Alpha King Xalen stepped closer to me, staring at me intensely and mumbling, “I was mad but not at you. Seeing another woman in the same bed I have shared with Laura for many years drove me off the edge, and I just needed to let Allison understand that I wasn’t okay with that.” He was explaining himself to me. Oh, dear goddess. Could I be losing my mind? “It’s no excuse for how I behaved, so I apologize again, Haylee.” Alpha King Xalen concluded, but I was still s

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~It was hard for Theo to decide if he wanted to be mad at me for referring to Haylee as a slave after many hours of looking everywhere in my home for her or kicking someone in the gut for putting his hands on his mate. But eventually, my wolf decided and seethed within me, “He can’t have his paws on her. Hell, she reeks of him.” And Theo was right. Aside from the fact that the warrior I now recognize to be Allison’s guard had taken a protective stance before Haylee, his scent was also oozing out of Haylee’s body. I would be dumb if I didn’t understand that the duo had been intimate in some way–“He wouldn’t dare!” Theo seethed within me, pumping anger but mostly jealousy into my veins, and my body accepted it, reacting to those emotions.I growled, “I believe I asked you a question.” Haylee tried to speak. At least that was my assumption as I heard her murmurs, but Allison’s guard beat her to it, saying, “She was at the clinic, Alpha King.” I have been the kin

    HAYLEE~~Jose—scratch that! At the moment, he was Leo, but the Leo I knew wouldn’t cut me off with a kiss that lasted longer than a minute. Leo tilted my head, and his hand supported my aching back as he deepened the kiss, pouring his passion into me.My eyes were wide open as shock zapped through me. My body was tense and rigid in Leo's—damn, Jose. My body was rigid in his arms as my arin tried so hard to process the situation. My best friend was kissing me. He was kissing me tenderly, and if I was being honest, this kiss could be my first kiss. Alpha Jett had never kissed me on the lips, yet as Jose kissed me, I couldn’t bear the thought of having my first kiss this way. I pushed against his chest with my palms, struggling to break free as soon as it clicked in my head that this wasn’t what I wanted. Or was it the way my body reacted against Jose’s touch? I couldn’t be sure, but thankfully, Jose didn’t try to resist my will to push him away. He pulled back, taking his hands off

At first, I thought he would do something after he nearly snapped my backbone into two with the damn box. I thought he would at least be nice, but apparently, he only acted nice when he got his way. Last night with his daughter was a good example.I just couldn’t shake the feeling of hopelessness. Even my wolf lost hope when she saw the way our supposed mate reacted after what he did to us. Intentional or not, I received an apology. Yes, he was the King and I was merely a slave but–“This is how Sslavesget treated. We should get used to it by now.” Liya whimpered within me, her heart just as heavy as mine.“We have to find a way to end this,” I seethed, dragging myself far away from the palace even though I knew that I couldn’t escape the Alpha King. I just needed a few minutes to myself. A few minutes to breathe and focus on myself. I was lost in my
