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

HAYLEE~~I swear the earth shook underneath my feet, and I felt the kitchen threatening to crumble as Alpha King Xalen’s anger boomed through the atmosphere. His voice hit my eardrums hard enough to threaten to tear them. “Are you insane!” Those three words sounded nothing like a question, and I saw how Prince Asher’s face fell when he was also hit by the wave of his dad’s anger. Even Princess Jodie's body jerked in my arms, but I quickly began to rock the little princess and also assure the Prince that everything was fine. Thankfully, Benita came into the kitchen at that moment, and being closer to Asher than I was, she took over his care and whispered to me, “The palace will only get hotter.” “What do you mean?” I asked, brows furrowed. “I heard that Princess Allison spent the whole night moving Quuen Laura’s belongings to one of the guest rooms and she moved hers into the room the Alpha King and Queen Laura used to share. “ Benita said to me, whispering so Prince Asher woul

ALPHA KING XALEN~~If anger were a body of water, then it would be safe to say that I had been completely submerged beneath its surface, unable to break through the surface until she cried out in pain.“Aah!” Her cry hit the surface of my flooring rage, and I was plunged out of its depth.Allison was still yelling in my face like she had some kind of death wish, which I initially planned to grant, but my mind forgot about her as my focus shifted to Haylee, whose cry still bounced off the walls of my mind.“What is she doing here?” Theo gasped within me, his anger shifting into worry as my eyes found Haylee. I felt conflicted. I felt torn.Should I show Allison that I was the Alpha King even though I had been lenient with her, or should I give in to the urge to run over to Haylee, whose pain was still evident as she groaned, struggling to regain balance?“You threw the damn box at her! Go to her dammit!” Theo gritted his canines in anger, despite the fact that the anger I was expre

HAYLEE~~He really can’t be the man for me.Heck! I doubt any man is for me at this point. Like, what the actual fuck just happened? 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

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

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~~“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
Last Updated : 2025-01-11The 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

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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 198. Ashen Venom
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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 195. Proper Punch
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
