The Alpha King's Hated Mate 45. To Be Mine
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.

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 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

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
