ALPHA KING XALEN

~<>~

This was the first time in a while that I would be joining my men for morning training, and despite that, I seemed to still be in shape.

I effortlessly took on not just one but two of my strongest—Wyatt and Evan. I wouldn't say I was friends with my Royal Gamma and Royal Beta. I wouldn't say I have any friends, in fact.

My cousin, Roy, would have been the best friend I ever had if he didn't try to steal what was mine. Roy and I would never be friends again after Laura, even though she has left us both in a world where she no longer exists.

Before her death, Laura was my best friend, among other things. She used to be the best thing that happened to me until I apologized to Haylee this morning.

It was the best feeling ever, and I couldn't stop reeling at that moment even though I had two bulky men throwing punches from both sides.

“You have been smiling since you stepped into the training ground hours ago, Alpha King,” Evan pointed out as he dodged my balled fist,

    Alpha Prince Roy~~“If it isn't the cousin I was on my way to visit.”I had to hold back the urge to scoff, and somehow he knew I was doing that because we had both sworn to be enemies despite my dad's effort to mend our relationship.“Can we not do this today, Roy?” He said to me, his nose high in the air and his ego almost choking me as I inhaled deeply.Oh, I despised him.One thing to be known about me is that I will never take this clown seriously. He was a clown to me; as far as I know, he was no king. Some might be scared of him, but I honestly wanted to screw with him just like he did with me and eventually did to Laura.He killed her.I don't care if she died at his hands or not, but as far as I was concerned, he killed her.Because of him, Laura, the woman who was meant to be mine, died.“Do what? I came to check on you. It's been so long since I have seen you or been around my family. Being in the human world is fun, but you know, there is nothing like home.” I chimed, fo

    HAYLEE~~The day started intense for me, but after Alpha King Xalen left my room this morning, the day went back to normal despite the thoughts flashing through my mind. I took care of the royal babies, and they all had breakfast with me in the kitchen since Alpha King Xalen wasn’t available to have breakfast with them.Also, Princess Sophia and Prince Asher didn’t want to eat with Princess Allison, who had to eat breakfast alone in the dining hall.Despite the fact that she loved tormenting the poor kids, Princess Allison wasn’t okay with eating alone, and as soon as she was done eating, she came in search of the kids. She found us leaving the kitchen, giggling and chatting happily.“What’s funny? Why are you all laughing?” she snapped immediately, starting another unnecessary drama.As soon as Prince Asher heard her voice, he moved closer to me, holding the hem of my gown. Unlike Princess Sophia, he didn’t enjoy being confronted.“You wouldn’t understand the joke even if we shared

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Nobody has the right to touch even a strand of my kids' hair, not to talk of hitting them because of whatever.That was common knowledge, but of course, Allison lacked that too.Yes, Sophia can be very rude, but that is simply her defense mechanism. She would never disrespect someone who doesn't deserve it unless she is hurt.And if I knew anything about Allison, she deserved whatever Sophia said to her.This was why I already had the perfect response for Allison when she said, “You will send me back to my pack if I hit them?”Before she could add Haylee to the list, I confirmed without blinking, "Yes, and that's not the worst I can do to you. Touch my kids again or try to harm them, and you will see just how crazy I can be.”She was bold. I mean, everyone knew better than to hit my kids. What if Haylee wasn't there to intervene? Would she have hit Sophia?“If she had done that, she would be dead by now. The only reason I'm not tearing her apart is because of the

    Princess Allison’s POV~~How could he?Those three words kept echoing in my head. I could feel my body shaking from the fear Alpha King Xalen had infused into my soul.For the first time, I was actually scared of him because I knew he wasn't bluffing. I should have known better than to try to hit Sophia. What was I thinking?But despite that mistake, Sophia has no right to speak down on me. That little brat said she would make me understand why she was the Royal Alpha Princess and not me. Fuck! I felt humiliated.Not just because of her words but because her aura changed in that moment, and I felt my body almost falling to the ground as if to worship her. I would have scratched my face out if her aura had made me do that. Thankfully, Alpha King Xalen came in before his kid could humiliate me.“Only to humiliate you before the so-called Royal Help? Damn him!” Nala growled within me.Fuck them all!I couldn't put Sophia in her place, and neither could I take Jodie and mold her into wh

    HAYLEE~~“Roy is on his way to you. Don't let him fool you. He is a liar and a betrayer.”Even before Alpha King Xalen sent those words into my mind through the link, I could already sense that he and his cousin weren't on good terms.More appropriately, Liya could sense it, and she had informed me.“I wonder what happened between those two,” Liya etched into my mind, her curiosity bubbling within me.I shook my head before she could put any ideas in my head. “We already have so much to worry about and wonder about. We can't even sleep peacefully as it is. Alpha Prince Roy is the last thing I want to add to the long list that keeps us awake at night.”Plus, I couldn't bear to have another powerful wolf on my case. Princess Allison had been more than enough trouble. I didn't need more.With that in mind, I ushered the kids to Princess Sophia's room, which I believed would be a good place to hide from Alpha Prince Roy. I intended to stay out of his way for as long as possible.“I'm s

    HAYLEE~~Since I didn’t want to cook, I decided to go to the royal kitchen to get lunch because I knew the kitchen staff would have prepared something for the royal family regardless of whether they wanted to eat or not.I guess that was my first mistake because as soon as I pulled the palace front door open and stepped out, I came face to face with Alpha Prince Roy. I almost jumped out of my skin when I walked straight into him before I could push the brakes of my legs. “Gotcha.” He smiled, his eyes glinting with mischief as he stared down at my frame. What the hell is wrong with everyone connected to this family? “Oh, did I scare you?” Alpha Prince Roy asked with a smirk. I stepped away from him, glared at him subtly, or I hoped I did, and responded, “Yes, My Prince. I wasn’t expecting to see you—” “You don’t have to lie. I know you have been hiding because Xalen told you to do so.” He chuckled, folding his arm under his chest. “W-what are y-you—” I thought it was best to d

    HAYLEE~~It's been a whole week since Alpha King Xalen freed me from the limiting ban he placed on me. It's been a week of freedom, but with Alpha Prince Roy and Princess Allison’s eyes on every move, I haven't enjoyed my freedom.Also, the fact that I had a lot on my mind didn't make the week easy. Of course, Alpha King Xalen was still waiting for me to give him a second chance, and I wanted to despite my fears. However, I haven't seen much of Alpha King Xalen since he warned Princess Allison against hurting me. Neither have I seen my supposed best friend, Jose, who I have been dying to see. “At this point, I am beginning to believe that he is avoiding us,” Liya told me as I closed the door to the nursery. I had just put Jodie to bed for her afternoon nap, and Asher was enjoying the afternoon with Sophia. I didn’t have to be with the kids, so I asked Liya, “What if we go to his room?”“Do you know where that is?” Liya asked me.I chuckled, “How hard can it be to find his room? I

    HAYLEE~~“Haylee?” The woman with Jose called out with disbelief, or should I say confusion? Because she looked like she was trying to understand why I was there, and as much as I wanted to tell her that I was asking myself the same question, I was numb because a big part of me already knew why she was there. Hell! They both exuded the undeniable scent of sex.I breathed, “I'm sorry to have interrupted you. I better go—”“No, wait a second!” I have come to know that voice and maybe loved it. But right now, I couldn't even look her in the eyes because she reeked of my best friend's scent and of the man who confessed his feelings to me less than a month ago. They both reeked of sex.If it was someone else, I wouldn't have cared, even though it proved that Jose could be just as bad as Sylas was trying to tell me. But this was someone who had vowed to be my friend even when I wasn't ready to be hers. This was Benita for goddess’ sake! I couldn't stand seeing her half-naked and dis

    Princess Allison’s POV (24)~~I have screamed. I have cried. I have broken every breakable valuable in my bedroom—or should I call it my prison, because it was beginning to suffocate me? I have even considered returning home to my father.Yes, he will punish me, but at least he will help me get my powers back. I never knew he would take them away from me. Hell! I didn’t even know he could take them until Haylee made me see the truth.Goddess! How I wished I could blame Haylee and finally find a way to tear her apart with the support of the pack members that had sworn to protect me. However, she was right. My dad had screwed me.Ever since I discovered that my power was gone, I have been thinking. I have been trying so damn hard to make use of my intellect and come up with a plan that would help me defeat Haylee, claim the throne, and make my dad lick my feet.However, I haven’t come up with a single plan. Or, more appropriately, I haven't come up with a single perfect plan.How do I

    HAYLEE~~The anger swirling within me was unlike any emotion I had felt before.I had experienced intense sadness, but even that didn’t come close to what I was feeling in that moment as I stared at Benita’s scared but unremorseful face. She was a reminder of every bad occurrence that had marred my life.She was a reminder of how meaningless promises and bonds could be.She was a reminder of the one curse I thought was broken—no one could love me genuinely.Alone in this cruel world, I began to wonder if anyone truly loved me. My heart shattered at the thought that Xalen’s love might be fake too. Flavia as well. What if I were back where I started?Yet I was in a different setting, where everyone pretended to love me, unlike the undiluted hatred my previous circles hadn’t hesitated to show me.“That’s your emotions talking, Hay. You know Xalen loves you. You can feel it through the bond, and the fact that you can converse with Aradia is further proof that he isn’t faking his feelin

  • 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

    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 mi

    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

    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

    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
