The Alpha King's Hated Mate 74. Down My Spine
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

Alpha Prince Roy’s POV~~I saw her walking—or more appropriately, dragging her feet—over to where I was standing. She was far from the palace, where I knew she spent most of her time. I wasn’t expecting to see her in this part of the pack because I had observed her routine and knew she rarely ventured beyond the palace grounds.And as much as I had been watching her, I didn’t come here for her. I was here because this place reminded me of Laura.“I love sitting by this forest. It’s peaceful.” I remember those words, and Laura’s voice echoed in my mind even though it had been many years since she said them to me.I also recalled telling her, "It's beautiful."But my eyes weren’t on the forest Laura was talking about. They were on her, and even though I couldn’t sense our mate bond back then, I knew she was mine. I could feel it in my gut and my wolf—I cleared my throat, cutting my thoughts short. Even though I came here to fuel my anger and remind myself of the most important thing

ALPHA KING XALEN~~It wasn’t my intention to stay away from Haylee and my kids. I have been working tirelessly to make sure the territory keeps running smoothly. As much as Evan and Wyatt were helpful, they were still not able to fill my position in my absence, which is why I have been spending a lot of time in my pack office.I have also been having numerous meetings with the Elders and a few other people who have important matters to discuss. Plus, I have been speaking to Wyatt about how to deal with Allison’s case and how to cripple Alpha Richard’s plan.As of today, I have just forty days left to prove that Alpha Richard killed Laura so he could take the throne or make something up, and I have trusted Evan and Wyatt with this. They have been helping me.Spies have been sent to Richard's pack, and I have eyes on Allison as well. She has been spending most of her time with Jose, according to the report I got from Evan earlier today, and that reminded me of the fact that I need to

HAYLEE~~If the trunk of Alpha Jett’s car counts as a ride in the car, I would say this was my second time in a car. Many wolves don’t see the need for vehicles because it’s a luxury that comes from the human world, and as much as we are cool with humans, we try to limit interaction with them to avoid stirring trouble. But of course, most Alpha King Xalen had a few cars that I had seen many times in the palace’s garage. Also, most Alphas, Elders, Chiefs, and other influential wolves collect this luxury—“So we are thinking about cars to ignore the weird energy looming in this car?” Liya said into my mind, calling me out of my delusion.I mean, I didn’t know what to say to Alpha King Xalen. I could tell he was angry to see me with Alpha Prince Roy, who seemed sweet from what I had observed, but I do have a thing for trusting people easily.What do I say to him? I can’t even tell him how and why I ended up on the other side of the pack and found Roy. He doesn’t know that I went to fi

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I see you, Haylee, not as a replacement but as you.”I meant these words with every fiber of my being. However, I wasn’t sure that would be enough for Haylee. I could tell she wanted me to wipe Laura out of my heart and mind, but that would take time, even if it was possible.Haylee's eyes twinkled with shock, and they darted around the hallway as if she were scared that someone would hear us, but I wouldn’t put her in danger. I mean, before walking up to her and saying those words, I had made sure no one was within earshot.Regardless, Haylee whispered, “Can we do this in Jodie’s room?”I nodded and walked behind her with shopping bags she didn't seem to notice in one hand. A thought crossed my mind as we drew closer to Jodie’s room, and I shared it with Theo, “She calls Jodie with affection and familiarity. Am I the only one she refers to with fear and formality?”“Huh? I bet it’s you and Allison, so you have nothing to worry about,” Theo chimed, and for a sec

HAYLEE~~I was speechless. His words, his expression, his tone, and the softness of his scent as he spoke to the damaged little girl within me—all of this stunned me into speechlessness and drove me to tears. He wrapped his arms around me so delicately, holding me against his chest. I shouldn’t be thinking about Leo right now, but he was the first male that held me and made me feel safe. However, Alpha King Xalen was the first man who held me, made me feel safe, and made my heart race. Even Alpha Jett couldn’t come close. What was I saying? He never held me or spoke to me softly.“Seriously?” Liya’s voice broke into my mind. “A normal female would be over the moon right now. You are being held by the Alpha King of the territory, Hay. Stop thinking about the lies of Leo and Alpha Jett.” “I have never been happier,” I confessed to my wolf, sniffling back happy tears as I rested my head on Alpha King Xalen’s chest, listening to his heartbeat, which sounded like a melodious rhythm.

The Alpha King's Hated Mate 172. Red Wolf
HAYLEE~~I had never seen Roy so out of control. Even when he was mad at Xalen, his anger was contained, and he meticulously planned his next move. But the second he saw Allison, who could easily be his dad’s killer, he lost it all.Some of the curse words that slipped past his lips had never been heard before now, and Allison looked frightened because she could sense that the man approaching her wasn’t the same one she had overlooked many times since he returned to the pack.He was angry.He was a ferocious alpha male whose anger had driven him to the point of violence.Fortunately for Allison, Flavia caught up to Roy before he could get to her. She wrapped her arms around his midsection and skillfully twisted around him, standing between him and Allison within a second.“No, Roy,” Flavia uttered, holding his gaze while he shook visibly.“She is one of them, babe! She is Richard’s daughter, and she could have easily carried out his evil work. She could be the killer and I have to—
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 171. Tear Her Apart
ALPHA KING XALEN~~“This doesn't make any sense,” Roy blurted before I could, shaking his head, and I assumed he was thinking back to the last time we saw and heard his dad. “He shot me about ten days ago. He spoke to me, so you are mistaken.”Flavia immediately understood Roy's emotional turmoil. She removed her healer’s coat and walked up to her mate, holding him so her scent could calm him down.“I think we should take this to a more private place. Something is off, and now everyone should be a suspect,” Flavia murmured, looking around as a few of my men and healers moved around to do their thing.Gladys muttered, “I will stay here to keep an eye on the body and cross-examine the results, my king. But I have to say that I don’t expect anything to change. This man has been dead almost since the time the queen passed away.”My heart tightened not just because it killed me to hear that but also because I was confused. How could that be?I recall having many deep moments with Uncle
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 170. The Mystery
ALPHA KING XALEN~~Goddess, I was driven by undiluted rage.I mean, how dare he point fingers at my woman? My Haylee!Yes, Evan didn’t know who gave me the information, nor did he know that Haylee had become my mate. My marked mate, in fact. Evan’s explanation was also logical, but who cares about logic?He definitely wouldn’t care when he discovered the whole truth.“This is why we should tell the pack about the bond as soon as possible. I am not sure I can stand any more of these disrespects and accusations that are getting thrown at Haylee,” Theo gritted within me, coming to Haylee’s defense.I agreed with my wolf and made the decision to introduce Haylee to the entire pack the next day. I had to spend the entire day away from her because of my uncle, and when I leave here, I will have to go to the healers’ examination room to get updates.Being away from Haylee was hard—harder than finding my uncle’s dead body in a well.Evan, whose oblivion to my state of mind would soon get h
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 da
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 169. A Reliable King
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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 167. Princess Allison’s POV (17)
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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 164. Beautiful Marked Mate
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
