ALPHA KING XALEN

~<>~

For a minute there, I froze, rage bubbling within me as I glared at no one else but Jose, who was still standing there like he was determined to challenge me. If I recall correctly, this was the second time he would stand against me like this.

I would earn the title ‘fool of the century’ if I actually believed that he was like this only because he was Alpha Richard’s person.

There has to be more to this guy.

And I honestly couldn’t wait for Wyatt to get answers.

I wanted them now.

“Who are you?” I growled, my voice low but loud enough to communicate my anger to the man whose scent had polluted Haylee’s sweet and fresh scent.

“I don’t care who he is, Xalen! Just kill him this instant.” Theo barked impatiently.

But I needed answers.

Jose exhaled shakily. His fear was teasing my nostrils even though he tried to mask his scent. “I’m Jose, Princess Allison’s guard.”

“You know damn well that isn’t the answer I need from you!” I snapped, and Haylee jumped away

    HAYLEE~~ The sun has been piercing through the tiny curtains, probing my eyelids as if demanding I wake up and face the aftermath of last night, but I didn’t leave my bed, nor did I think of last night as I fell deeper into the endless pit of sleep.But I was yanked out of that pit by a familiar voice that sounded so far away at first: “Wake up, Haylee.”Groaning into the pillows as my head reacted to the voice by threatening to spill into unfixable pieces, I buried my face deeper, trying to drown out the urgency in the voice and hoping that I would be left alone.“You have to get up,” came the voice again.“Let me be, Kaylee.” I groaned again, muttering the wrong name even though I knew the voice wasn’t Kaylee’s. At least I knew subconsciously.“It’s Benita, Haylee.” The voice rang through my aching head again, pulling me closer to the conscious world. “You might be the royal help now, but you still have duties. Princess Jodie will be up any second, and you know she won’t let any

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~ I was slowly losing my mind.I could feel heat all over my body as I paced in my room, hating that this was happening now. This had been going on since last night.“Just breathe, Allie. Please. Your emotions are overwhelming. You know what happens when I get overwhelmed,” Nala said to me.“I'm trying,” I said to my wolf, inhaling deeply and exhaling through my mouth to calm myself.Thankfully, the knock I had been expecting echoed through my room, distracting me from the unraveling emotions within me.“Come in,” I uttered, taking another deep breath.The servant I had made my handmaiden, Julia, walked into my room with the Royal Help right behind her. As expected, she, the so-called Royal Help, came with the youngest princess in her arms.This should be a good distraction.“Leave us, Julia,” I said to my handmaiden, who still wasn’t as good as the one I had back home.Nothing was as good as what I had back home, and if I were home, I wouldn’t be feeling l

    HAYLEE~~Although I was relieved as I stepped out of Princess Allison’s room, my anxiety increased tenfold when I saw Jose walking towards me with a blank face that meant he was angry. I thought he was mad at me, but to my surprise, he walked past me without saying a word and entered Princess Allison’s room without knocking.I didn’t know what to think of that, but I did consider waiting outside Princess Allison’s room for Jose so I would be able to ask him if he was the one who took me to my room last night. I thought I needed to get answers before I faced the Alpha King, whom I would be seeing during breakfast, which was only a few minutes away.However, I walked down the hallway as Princess Jodie began to squirm in my arms.“Aww, look who is hungry." I cooed to the little princess, making funny sounds to her so she wouldn’t burst into tears before we got to the kitchen, where her bottle and milk were.I fed Princess Jodie before Prince Asher walked into the kitchen, ready to have

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Aside from the fact that I could feel her heart racing fast enough to beat its way out of her chest, I could also hear it thumping repeatedly. Haylee’s anxiety—or perhaps it was it shame? Whichever it was, it flowed through the connection between us, coursing within my veins.“She’s terrified,” Theo muttered into my mind.“But she has no reason to be terrified,” I said to my wolf as I stepped into my office, holding the door for Haylee as she walked in after me, cradling Jodie to her chest.“Aren’t you a gentleman?” Theo commented, mocking me all because I held the door for Haylee. But of course, he was quick to switch his tone as he responded to my last statement, “Have you suddenly forgotten how you have treated her? She doesn’t feel safe with you.”“But we spoke last night. I wouldn’t hurt her after everything she told me,” I replied to my wolf, meaning every word of that statement.I was the cruel Alpha King, but I wasn’t the evil one.“Whatever, just be nice.

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   49. Scent of Intimacy

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Privacy be damned!Those were the exact words that flashed through my mind as soon as I perceived the strong scent of the guard who dared to kiss Haylee, oozing profoundly from Allison’s room. I didn’t think twice before I kicked her door open, and neither did I question why he would be in her room when her door was locked.I assumed he could do that because he was her guard, and to be honest, I didn’t give a damn about that woman or her honor.“And who knows? They might be cooking up their evil plans and using Haylee as a pawn to get to us,” Theo said to me.Although at that moment I should have asked myself why they would use Haylee to get to me when no one knew that she was my second chance mate, that thought didn’t cross my mind, and neither did I stop to consider the fact that reacting angrily just because a guard kissed a slave would raise questions about either my relationship with the slave or my sanity.I just kicked the door open, thinking that I was rea

    Princess Allison’s POV~~Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!What have I done? What the fuck have I done?How did I get so lost in the moment to the point where I didn’t perceive Alpha King Xalen before he entered my room? I could have sensed him. I could have avoided this. I could have avoided this damn development. “Dad will kill you,” Nala breathed into my mind with no ounce of remorse as soon as I entered my bedroom and kicked the Royal Guard out.Perhaps I wouldn’t be shaking with anger if I had slept with this particular guard before Alpha King Xalen walked in. Maybe I wouldn’t feel like I had been cheated by fate if it had given me more time to ride the guard, despite his average-sized cock, and satisfy this flame burning in the pit of my stomach. Just maybe—“Can you even hear yourself? You can’t still be thinking about sex after you messed up,” Nala yelled at me. Clearly, the clouds of desire that were once cast over my wolf’s senses had been blown away by the mere fact that Alpha King X

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Uncle Calvin knocked on the door of my home office within the same hour, announcing his presence even though I could perceive his scent through the wooden door.“You can come in,” I breathed after keeping my excitement under control.My uncle stepped into my office, his face as blank as always, but from the small curve of his lips, I could tell he was really happy. My brows furrowed as I said, “Let it out. What has the famous Royal Advisor grinning?”“I’m not grinning, My King.” Uncle Calvin raised his brows, trying to adjust his face.“Didn’t you say you have news to share with me?” I asked, genuinely interested to know what could have happened to my special advisor. I mean, the last time I saw him laugh was before his brother, my late dad, died.Uncle Calvin chimed in, “I believe your news is more important, My King. Please go first.”“All right.” I nodded curtly, asking him to sit with me before I announced, “We can finally get rid of Alpha Richard and his dau

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“If you didn’t call for an urgent meeting, then who did?” Uncle Calvin’s shock was evident in his wide eyes and open mouth.“Clearly, Allison did.” I breathed out, a smile creeping across my face. “She is indeed quite smart, which is precisely why we can’t let her have her way, Uncle Calvin.”Using my uncle’s title, which conveyed our close biological ties, only happened once in a blue moon, but after the kind of tense conversation we just had, it felt like a rare blue moon had risen in our midst. “I now know what is truly at risk, thanks to you, but if we do nothing right now, we are allowing Alpha Richard and Allison to assume they are the ones pulling the strings. We have to turn the tables against them.”Uncle Calvin sighed heavily, shaking his head. “I don’t see how that is going to happen, My King.”What? Did I hear him right?“Is he really saying he can’t support our fight against Allison and her family?” Even Theo was stunned by my uncle’s unexpected respo

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   170. 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 d

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I get that you are smitten, Xalen, but this isn’t logical,” Roy grumbled as we left the palace, walking side by side.“I am smitten but see no reason why this isn’t logical,” I responded as I opened my mind, finding the connection between my mind and Wyatt’s so I could ask him to meet Roy and me on the northern border.Haylee’s words echoed in my mind even though I had just left her in the palace with my overly excited kids and Flavia and Allison, but I wasn’t worried because I knew Haylee could defend herself.“Be careful out there and don’t involve anyone you can’t trust, Xalen. I need this to be true, not just to prove to the realm that you are a reliable King but also to confirm that I am not going insane.”Those were Haylee’s words. Even though I didn’t understand why she mentioned insanity, I knew better than to trust just anyone with the possible location of my traitorous uncle.Roy scoffed, snapping me out of my thoughts and taking my mind off Haylee. Sad

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   168. His Stepmama

    HAYLEE~~That was unexpected.Allison choosing to walk away instead of picking to create a scene like she always does was unexpected, but I didn’t think much about it because I assumed she was still in shock.“She would never have thought you and Xalen would show up marked. Did you see her face?” Liya let out a wolfish chuckle in my mind, making fun of Allison as she walked away.I did see her face, and it was so damn funny.I was prepared to stand up against her and drag her through the mud if needed, but she had to ruin that for me by choosing to walk away. However, knowing her, I would most likely get more chances to pay her back with the same coin of humiliation that I got from her.After Allison left, Xalen settled at the head of the table, and he was served breakfast by one of the servants. They were all looking at me or at least sneaking peeks. I could perceive Maeve, Orla, and Benita in the hall even though I wasn’t looking at them.I was certain Benita would find me after

    Princess Allison’s POV~~“You dare not, Allison! You dare not accept defeat,” Nala growled within me, seizing the wheel as soon as she sensed me giving up.It was safe to say that Nala had to become the authoritative wolf she used to be before we agreed to work on this together… before I asserted my dominance over her.As my body trembled, I queried, “What am I supposed to do now, Nala? If he could mark her even after I showed him the damn results, what could I do that would stop this craziness?”He would make her his queen.It was crystal clear that nothing I did would change Xalen’s mind. How the hell did she even come to terms with the fact that I was carrying her mate’s child? If I were in Haylee’s shoes, I wouldn’t let Xalen touch me or even breathe the same air as me.But somehow, Haylee forgave him, and they completed the bond.Dammit!I could see tears trickling down my cheeks in a minute because my eyes stung painfully as I watched Xalen pull out the chair opposite mine an

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   165. Princess Allison’s POV (16)

    Princess Allison’s POV (16)~~When I found out from Benita that Haylee wasn’t in her bedroom, I immediately knew she would be with King Xalen. At first, I was furious because I slept peacefully, believing that my pregnancy result would stomp on any conflict resolution those two were working on when I walked in on them last night.However, I saw an opportunity, and I seized it.Of course, I didn’t know what had happened between those two while they spent the night together, but I didn’t think much about it because I assumed that their so-called bond wouldn’t survive the night.How I wished I knew just how wrong I was.But I didn’t know. However, I did consider the possibility of the duo finding their way back to each other, which was why I ruffled Sophia’s feathers the second she and Asher walked into the dining hall with Flavia, who I found out was Roy’s mate.As far as Flavia and Roy were concerned, good riddance to bad rubbish.I didn’t care about them, and even though they caught

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~What a night!I thought to myself, holding Haylee even closer while she snored softly. She was still asleep, but I was awake but couldn’t get myself to move out of bed or take my hands off her.It was a miracle that I hadn’t woken her up, in fact.When I went to find her yesterday, I didn’t know the day would end this way. I didn’t know we would be lying in bed, naked as the day we were born and completely tied together like the soulmates that we were.As I closed my eyes for the millionth time since I woke up, I thought to myself, “This is worth fighting for, and I will fight for us for the rest of my life.”I knew Haylee wanted to fight for the throne and for everyone in the pack, but I wouldn’t hesitate to stop that fight if it posed a threat to what we had here. This beautiful thing we had going on for us.This was peaceful and—A loud bang on my bedroom door smashed the peace I thought I could enjoy for another hour or two. Fuck! I jinxed it, didn’t I?I was

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   163. Not A Ghost

    HAYLEE~~If I thought what Xalen and I did at first was lovemaking, I was wrong because with the mate bond completed, every feeling intensified tenfold. Every touch had me whimpering for more, and I lost count of the number of orgasms that I reached in that single night.Each sensation coursed through me like a live wire, electrifying every nerve within me.The world around us faded quickly, leaving just the two of us tangled together, our breathing heavy and synchronized.Xalen’s hands roamed my body like a map, exploring every curve and dip that I never knew I had, as if he were discovering uncharted territory. With every kiss, every whisper of his name, and every slow, precise thrust of his waist, I felt the barrier I’d built around my heart melting away, leaving me vulnerable yet incredibly alive.The completed bond was palpable, igniting a fire within Xalen and me—a fire I never knew existed. It felt as though we were merging into one, our souls intertwining in a dance that wa

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~In whatever form it comes, rejection kicks harder than a million warriors.I would know because it seemed like I had been rejected by Haylee even though we just shared a very passionate and intimate moment. I tried to pour my emotions through the bond while I made love to her gently because I believed that was the only way I could share what I was feeling with her.I believed she would heal fully and finally admit or confess that she loved me, but that didn’t happen.Instead, she couldn’t say it back to me when I muttered, “I love you,” to her.And just when I thought time was all she needed, the mark I bit into her neck practically faded into thin air. Not even a small scar was left behind. Yes, she asked me to mark her, but even though I was against it at first, I gave it my all.The idea of her standing before the elders, wearing my mark, felt so damn good.But I guess that wouldn’t happen, not when her body wouldn’t keep my mark.“Seriously? This is what you

    HAYLEE~~It felt so good.Xalen’s body on mine and his arms around me felt so good. His scent invaded my nostrils as he lowered his lips to kiss me deeply, and, goddess, the taste of him! I could feel his masculine, musky taste on my tongue.My needy moans blended perfectly with his deep, growl-like groans.I had no choice but to be vulnerable in Xalen’s arms. He was bigger and physically stronger than I was, and even though I had this dangerous energy source within me, I still felt like a woman in his arms.He was soft and careful, but even his soft touches didn’t prepare me for the sharp pain that I felt when Xalen tried to push his length into me. He was a very big man, and I was a tall, small woman who had never been penetrated before.“We don’t have to do this tonight, Hay,” Xalen muttered into my ear, holding me tightly.Hell, no!I wanted this. I was soaking wet. In fact, I was dripping, and the pain was inevitable. “We have to because I want to, Xay. Make me a woman. Make m
