“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 don't hate cunning/manipulative women in romfan literature. The only women I loathe in books are women who are weak mentally with no backbone and female villains who are evil for evil's sake. I appreciate the ones who maneuver their way into positions of power.

This Allison must be very cunning to stand op to the Alpha king.

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   24. Undeniable Foe

    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

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   25. Mean Princess

    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

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   26. Childhood Friend

    HAYLEE~~“What do you think you are doing?” Princess Allison’s icy voice stopped me dead in my tracks as I took Princess Sophia’s hand, hoping to take her away from the toxic scene. I summoned the courage needed to look into the mean Princess’s eyes and answered with a steady voice despite the lies I was about to tell, “Taking the Princess to her room, My Lady. It’s time for her nap–” Though I had grown accustomed to physical abuse, the sharp pain that sliced through me as Princess Allison’s soft palm struck my cheek was still jarring. Her hand may have been delicate, but the slap was anything but gentle.“I’m your Queen, not your Lady. I’m royalty, and you will treat and refer to me as you do the King. Do I make myself clear?” She shouted in my face. Princess Sophia whimpered and hid herself behind me, acting like a terrified child for the first time since I met her.I didn’t hesitate to nod. In cases like this, I have learned to just give Caesar whatever he—or, in this case, s

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   27. The Better Choice

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I hate you, and I’ll never forgive you for replacing Mom!”Sophia was everything but stupid, and I knew she could sense the changes in our home even though I had made sure no one informed her about the kind of relationship Allison and I were supposed to have.I made sure everyone in the pack kept their mouths shut to keep my children, especially Sophia, safe. Asher and Jodie were still too young to understand the change, but even though Sophia was very young as well, she was as smart as her mother and brave as her father.I didn’t miss the way Haylee ran after Sophia. “She has a good heart, and she cares about our kids despite how badly you have treated her,” Theo called me out, feeling just as weary as I had been feeling. I knew this day would come—the day Allison moved into my home, and despite how hard I tried to act indifferent, the current situation was affecting me–“Just tell them we already have a mate. This will save us from Alpha Richard's trap! We

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   28. The Spirit Realm

    HAYLEE~~Princess Sophia and I just sat there in the kids' garden within the palace’s compound, where they have swings, a trampoline, and other fun items. But rather than have fun, we simply sat there on one of the benches, staring at space for the longest time until Princess Sophia let out, her eyes glued to the floor, “She hit you because of me. Why did you try to get me away from here when you are just a slave?” Her curiosity was louder than her voice, and I had to search deep within me for the right words so I wouldn’t hurt her any more than Princess Allison had. I sighed, “I saw you struggling and I knew what that feeling–”“I wasn’t struggling!” She snapped, her eyes flying to my face, as she tried to act strong. I smiled slowly, looking at the young Princess’s eyes, which told more than she was expressing. “You know it’s okay to struggle every now and then, Princess Sophia. Even adults struggle, and we shouldn’t bottle up our feelings.” She responded defensively but with

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   29. Favorite Person

    HAYLEE~~Tears welled up in my eyes as I exclaimed, "Leo.” Without hesitation, I threw myself into his arms, not minding the small fact that this corner was way too small to maneuver freely, but it was perfect for a long hug. I could hold him forever. Leo inhaled deeply as his hands wrapped around me, holding me tightly as he muttered, “Haylee…” His voice did the trick of assuring me that truly, this man was Leo and that he wasn’t mad at me. Also, I could hear how much he missed me just by listening to him say my name, and that broke the dam.I sobbed into his shirt, rubbing my face in his chest like I always do, and just like always, he allowed me and hushed me gently. “Hey, it’s okay, Haylee,” Leo murmured, patting my back as he carefully placed his chin over my head. I spluttered, “No, it’s not okay. I thought you were dead, Leo. I thought I would never see you again.” I pulled back a bit just to look at his face. Leo smiled at me, wiping my tears, but his effort was fruitl

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   30. Kind and Gentle

    HAYLEE~~I was still shaken up when Princess Sophia and I returned to the palace. The young Princess didn’t leave my hand, dragging me along with her as she looked around the living room nervously.“Phew! I don’t want to run into her.” Princess Sophia whispered, obviously talking about her latest rival. The little girl told me to tiptoe around the passageway so no one would hear us, and I didn’t utter a word even after she walked past her dad’s office, where he usually spends most of the hours of the day.“What are we going to do about this?” Liya asked me. I didn’t have to be told that she was talking about Leo’s case—I mean, Jose’s case. Would I ever get used to not calling him Leo? “Honestly, I don’t know, Liya.” Liya asked, “Would you go with him? If he tells you it’s time to go, would you?”Now that was a question I didn't have an answer to. “Again, I don’t know, Liya. I can’t even think right now, and even if I want to leave, I don’t think I can with what Alpha King Xalen

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   31. Matrimonial Bed

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I slept peacefully with my kids snuggled around me that night. Despite being cramped in Asher’s bed, it was the best night since I came home and found out that my mate had gone to the land of no return.It was the first night that I actually slept through the night and enjoyed every bit of it. Although I had to wake up a few times to feed Jodie, it remained a great night. Asher and Sophia slept on my sides, and Jodie spent the night on my chest, enjoying her dad’s proximity for the first time since she was born. Perhaps I would still be in bed if Asher didn’t wake up three hours before noon with a grumbling stomach.“My stomach is hungry, Daddy,” Asher said as soon as he saw my eyelids parting. That was his way of announcing his hunger, and it never ceased to make me laugh. My daughter woke Sophia up, and I felt a great bundle of joy sinking into me as I recalled how my daughter apologized to me last night. I didn’t see the apology coming because I didn’t dese

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   201. Deadly Poisons

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Saying I was angry would be the understatement of the century.These past few months, I have lost a lot of people who mattered to me. Even though Laura turned out to be a snake, losing her affected me, and Uncle Calvin’s death remained a trauma I couldn’t get over as fast as I wanted.And now, Haylee was poisoned by one of the servants in my home?There was no way in hell I would allow her to go scot-free. There was no way in hell I wouldn’t make an example of her!“First, Ghostflower juice, and she still had the audacity to use Ashen venom?” Theo gritted angrily within me. My anger boiled hotter with every step I took toward the one place that smelled like that bitch—her bedroom.I knew she wasn’t there, but I needed to get my hands on whatever was left of the venom she fed my woman. I couldn’t shake off the need to get rid of it along with her. I got to her bedroom, ransacked it, and found vials of poisons laid carelessly within her bedside drawer.To my utmost

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   200. Fake Friend

    HAYLEE~~I could have sworn I died.I could have sworn that death swallowed me the second my lids closed, but somehow, those same lids fluttered open after I almost became best buddies with the darkness of death. I didn’t know how long I had been out.But if I were to assume, I would say I was unconscious for about an hour or maybe two.There was this sharp sound ringing in my head, and I just knew I needed to sleep for a long time; still, I had to ask the two concerned women standing beside the bed, “Did you get it out? How long was I out for?”I groaned as I tried to push myself into a sitting position, hoping that the block Liya placed between my mind and Xalen’s didn’t fall when I lost consciousness. Gasping, I added another question, looking deep into Flavia’s eyes this time, “Has he found out?”She knew I was talking about Xalen. I could tell from the way she looked at me, but what I couldn’t tell was the next words Flavia blurted out: “No, he hasn’t, Haylee. It’s been five m

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   199. Total Darkness

    HAYLEE~~“I told you so.”If Liya wasn’t trembling with rage within me, I was certain those four dreaded words would be echoing endlessly in my mind. My wolf would have said those words to me, but even though she didn’t voice them out loud, I could still hear her furious voice in my subconscious because, truly, she told me so.Heck! Liya warned me severely.“I knew she was a snake, but I didn’t know she would go this far,” Liya hissed into my mind, frustration coursing through her. “I didn’t like her from the start, but I also couldn’t see why she would want to kill you. Even when I forced you to keep that sample from the smoothie, I was just trying to be thorough and cautious.”Well, thank goodness for that, because how else would I have known that the only person who willingly offered to be my friend when I started living in the palace was, undoubtedly, my faceless enemy?Flavia, who had been quietly working, suddenly gasped, “I can’t detoxify you alone. We either get you to the

    HAYLEE~~Flavia barged into Sophia’s bedroom, where I was with the kids, her eyes wide as the sky but also cloudy.I dropped the book I had in my hands instinctively, ignoring the soreness of my body. I assumed I had to get used to the muscle soreness that I had been experiencing due to my training session with Xalen.“Are you okay?” Those were the first words that Flavia uttered, even though Sophia and Asher were trying to get her attention.I could see her fingers trembling as she tried to wrap her arms around Sophia and Asher. The scent of her worries invaded my nostrils, almost suffocating me before I answered, “I am okay. Are the results out?”My eyes were heavy, but just like I had ignored my sore muscles, I had been forcing my tired eyes to remain open because I wanted to read more about the various abilities that each faction within the werewolf community had.“They are, Haylee, and they aren’t good.” Flavia let out a shallow breath. “We should get you to your room. You need

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   197. Power-Hungry Elders

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Everything Rowena told us about Alpha Richard's offer simply proved that he had a secret weapon—or what was supposed to be a secret weapon. With every passing day, I was leaning closer to the red wolf theory, but we were still stuck in a state of dilemma.I mean, even with all of this, I still couldn’t bring Richard in or punish him because, while everyone in power would believe me, normal subjects wouldn’t. They would see me as a tyrant, and that would further divide the realm.“Richard knew what he was doing. He planned this perfectly,” Theo hissed within me.My wolf’s statement made me wonder just how long Alpha Richard had been putting these plans in place. Obviously, he had been making moves even before I was born. How do I beat him then?“You know he loved you, right?” Rowena muttered, snapping us all out of our thoughts, even though she was looking at Roy’s red face. “He hated that you and the king couldn’t get along and always looked forward to your visit

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   196. A Secret Affair

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Welcome, Elder Rowena.” I breathed before the dark blindfold that Wyatt had put over her face came off.The older woman blinked rapidly, her eyes adjusting to the light in my office, before she exhaled, “My King.”Her eyes fell on Roy, who was sitting on the couch opposite my office desk, and Rowena muttered, “Alpha Prince Roy.”Roy simply nodded her way because he didn’t trust her, even though I had assured him that she could be of help to us. After training with Haylee this morning and making sure we didn’t miss breakfast time with the kids, I asked Wyatt to get Elder Rowena and bring her into my home office through one of the secret tunnels.I also asked Wyatt to blindfold Rowena so the secret tunnels would remain just that: secret. In fact, I had to direct Wyatt through the tunnels because that was the first time he would make use of them.Rowena went straight to business after I offered her a seat. “May I know why I was abducted from my home and dragged thr

    HAYLEE~~“Ouch!”I cried out as Xalen overpowered me for the umpteenth time since we began sparring. I have lost count of the number of times I have landed on my back, even though I could tell Xalen was holding back.It’s a good thing we weren’t doing this in the open where other warriors would see me getting my ass handed to me. It would have been shameful.“This is shameful, Hay,” Liya groaned within me. “You haven’t landed one blow, even though that was the first move he showed you.”“Would you like to try?” I gritted at my wolf, rolling onto my side even though my entire body protested. “Perhaps I would have mastered the first move if you hadn’t been making fun of me.”Rather than being of help, Liya has been having a good time, laughing loudly each time I lost my balance and fell. She did the same even after I called her out, and I could feel anger rising within me.“Don’t beat yourself up, Hay.” Xalen’s voice pierced through my boiling rage and thick frustration. “It’s only y

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   194. Faceless Enemy

    HAYLEE~~I had to sneak out of bed before daybreak the next morning because Flavia asked me to. According to her, we needed to keep tabs on the servants, especially those who prepared the royal meal in the kitchen. Since we couldn’t trust anyone but ourselves, we had to do the spying ourselves.“We either find the poison before they start preparing breakfast, or we catch them red-handed,” Flavia muttered as we entered the empty royal kitchen. Even the servants were still fast asleep.Before I could respond, Flavia added, “I discreetly tested everyone’s blood to be sure we all haven’t been poisoned. I found out that you are right. You are the only target, which means the poison is added to your food after the general preparation.”“That’s a relief,” I whispered to Flavia, who had started searching the kitchen cupboards and cabinets. “I doubt the poison will be kept here, Flavia. Especially now that it is clear that it does not affect me.”I had been trying to think like whoever was

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   193. First Red Wolf

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“We had a long talk, Xay,” Haylee breathed after we settled into bed for the night.Due to our schedules, talking in bed before we fell asleep had become the new normal. I was more than happy to chat with her in bed as I recalled a time when I couldn’t share such moments with her because I thought keeping her away from me was for the best.“She told me that Allison would lose her power because Alpha Richard would cut her off from the source, which I believe is a Red Wolf in capacity,” Haylee added, staring at the ceiling as she lay on her back. “I also read about the first Red Wolf today.”As she told me about the information she gathered, I watched her closely, her voice fading into the background as her beauty and obvious interest captivated me faster than her enchanting voice.“She’s breathtaking.” Even Theo agreed with me.I mean, what on earth is this beauty that Haylee seems to unlock with every passing day? I knew I was in love with her, and love tends to
