HAYLEE

~<>~

“I think it's high time I listened to him.”

I couldn’t believe my ears. Although Alpha King Xalen hasn't said much about what happened between him and Roy, he has made it clear that there was bad blood between the two of them.

“Can you tell me what happened between you both?” I asked because I could perceive some love there, even though their hatred for each other had overshadowed that.

Xalen and I were still sitting on the floor of his matrimonial bedroom. At first, I felt weird being in here, but we had spent hours on that floor, and I was getting comfortable.

The small smile on his face faded, and in that instant, I was certain he didn't want to talk about that topic. His silence was enough to—

“Roy was my best friend.” To my surprise, Alpha King Xalen began, opening up to me for the millionth time that night. “He was my brother, and I knew how much he loved me until my parents died and his dad had to take care of me. Roy didn't want to share his dad’s attention, and be

Trust Allison to interrupt what could have been a perfect morning for Xalen and Haylee. Haha. Also, what really went down between Roy and Xalen? Did Laura play them both? For what reasons though? Find answers in the next few chapters. Thank you for reading. Kindly vote, review the book, and leave comments to put a smile on my face. Love always, Kiki.

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Yes, I slept on the floor for the last four hours, but it was a perfect night. I got to sleep with Haylee in the room that would have haunted me for the rest of my life if she hadn't created new memories with me within its four walls.Yes, last night and the early hours of today were used to create new memories.Haylee had helped me conquer my fears, and with the help of my wolf, I have realized the next steps to take to get answers.That was perfection to me, and it would have been an impeccable morning if I had been allowed to wake up on my own, gaze at Haylee’s face while she still sleeps in my arms that I might have wrapped around her after she fell asleep four hours ago, and see her shock when she wakes up and sees my face close to hers.But Allison just had to ruin what could have been a perfect morning.Of course, my heart was still aching because of the wound Laura’s betrayal had inflicted on it, but before I fell asleep with Haylee in my arms, I made up

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   96. Alpha Prince Roy's POV (3)

    ALPHA PRINCE ROY (3)~~It's been tough.Being a werewolf without a wolf has been tough, but it's nothing compared to being a Royal werewolf without a wolf. It sounds the same, but it is absolutely different.I have had to train twice as hard to command respect from other wolves. Did I say twice? Let's try four times as hard.Sometimes, I find myself thanking Xalen for constantly kicking me out of the realm. I am grateful that I got to live among the humans because it's easier there. Humans can be a bit oblivious, but at least they aren't as stuck-up as werewolves.I threw a few punches in the air, hoping that would clear my mind and I would be able to focus on training. I have been out here, in the open field behind my childhood home, training my ass off.I was covered in sweat, but I couldn't bring myself to stop even though I was training alone like the lone wolf I had become in my own home pack. Plus, if I wanted to get back at Xalen, I would need all the training I could get.“

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I allowed it.I allowed Roy to pour the coal of his anger all over me until I perceived that he was getting tired, and before he could stop himself and feel ashamed, I grabbed his wrists, holding them in the air.“I think that’s enough, Roy,” I stated without any sign of pain. Even though he had managed to break a few of my ribs, the pain wasn’t unbearable.Roy yanked his wrists out of my grasp, and once again, I allowed it. He wouldn’t have been able to land a blow if I didn’t want him to, nor would he have succeeded in freeing himself if I wanted to hold him captive.He was a strong male. Or at least I knew him to be a strong male, yet he was no match for me.“Enough?” He seethed in my face, his eyes red, a hot flame of fury burning within them. “You took everything from me. You ruined me, and it took you this long to admit it? Heck! You made everyone believe I was crazy, and I started believing it too because I can’t seem to understand why you would claim a wo

    ALPHA PRINCE ROY~~I lost everything. Heck! I would have lost myself as well if my wolf hadn’t sacrificed his existence for me.Honestly, it was easier to blame Xalen. I just couldn’t bring myself to blame Laura, even though the truth was staring back at me as I looked at the familiar penmanship. I was trying to wrap my head around why Laura would do this. I have known her since I was a teenager. Laura was one of the orphans who came to the Royal Pack to seek refuge, and we became friends immediately. She was the perfect person to fill the void my dad and Xalen had created within me as they focused on politics.But she turned out to be a liar.She lied about the bond, claiming she didn’t feel it, and I stupidly believed her. She used to ask me to come home each time I did. She made me believe that Xalen had changed his mind.I also believed that the reason she kept writing to me was that she was kind-hearted. However, the truth was out. Laura wrote to me because she felt the strai

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~That was me taking a recipe from Haylee's cookbook or her kindness manual if that suited the context better. She advised me to open up, and I was doing that now with Roy. The mistake we made seven years ago with Laura was shutting each other out. To win this fight, I need allies, and who better supports me than my own blood? “I'm sorry for cutting off communication. I'm sorry for mating and marking your destined mate.” I had to apologize for that as well because, despite Laura's tactics, I could have done better. “I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you, Roy. I really hope we can put all of these behind us and move past the pain.”“Well done, Xay,” Theo muttered with a feminine voice that I knew was supposed to sound like Haylee, but seriously, that was a failed attempt. “Haylee would be proud.”My brain and mind got a quick reset after Theo's statement. I mean, before it used to be “Laura would be proud.”Damn! How I loved that woman. I was trying my best to

    HAYLEE~~“I’m pregnant with your child, Alpha Jett.” The world as I knew it froze at that moment. My eyes widened and my breaths became shallow as shock and undefinable emotions coursed through my body, replacing the initial excitement and hope that I was feeling.This can’t be h-hapening… This should never happen. Those words shouldn’t be coming out of my sister’s mouth… her eyes shouldn’t be glinting like that for goddess’s sake!She was my twin sister and–“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Alpha Jett’s voice cut through the thick layer of my thoughts.If I weren’t looking at his face, I would think he was mad about my twin sister’s announcement but the twinkle in his eyes. He was happy. My twin sister just announced that she was carrying his child before everyone in the pack during a party meant to celebrate my nineteenth birthday… A party I believed would be used to crown me Luna of Cresent Moon Pack because a year ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I discovered that Alpha Jett was

    HAYLEE~~I was ripped off Kaylee by the familiar coarse hands that had shown me to the door of hell many times in the past– my father’s hands. For the first time, I cried to the father in the beast he had willingly shown me over the years. I stupidly thought he would take my side for the first time. A girl could wish, right? So I cried, “Dad, you can’t let her do this. You can’t just stand there and watch Kaylee snatch my mate–” But my statement was interrupted when his palm settled over my cheek like thunder. He slapped me and I tasted blood in my mouth as my father yelled in my wet face, “How dare you attack your sister! How dare you lay your hands on her? The Alpha has chosen a mate and it’s not you even though the moon goddess thought someone as plain as you could be Cresent Moon Pack’s Luna. That was a mistake on her path and we have corrected her mistake.” No, the only mistake here was having him as a father. The only mistake was picking to look like my heartless mother wh

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I don't know.I don't know how to exist in a world where my mate doesn't. A world without my Laura. I have spent the last five days beside her motionless body and even in that state she managed to look beautiful. She managed to capture my heart like we were teenagers again. How I wished she would open her eyes and tell me, “It’s a joke, Xalen. How can I die and leave you and the kids?” But today, I had to put her to rest. I had to bury her according to tradition so she could find peace in the afterlife. My heart was heavier than my bulky body and breathing felt like a crime because Laura wasn’t breathing. She was six feet under the ground we used to walk as the King and Queen of the werewolf realm–“Come forward and present your gifts.” My trusted Beta, Evan, voiced, calling on the visiting Alphas and leaders of the numerous packs under my jurisdiction.The funeral has ended as far as I was concerned. I had buried Luara and I don’t understand why these people

    HAYLEE~~Although my relationship with Benita might have hit rock bottom, I came to understand what she meant when she told me that Alpha King Xalen has not always been cruel and closed off. I got to see that firsthand as his body began to shake visibly. Even when I wrapped my arms around him, he trembled, sobbing silently but loud enough to make my heart ache. This—what Alpha King Xalen and I have here—wouldn't have happened fifty-one days ago. This was growth for us, but a heartbreaking one. “Isn't this good for us? He hates her now, Haylee. This is the time for us to have him to ourselves finally. We wouldn't have to live in the shadow of that despicable woman.” Liya chimed into my mind. As much as I didn't want to agree with my wolf, I couldn't disagree either. I mean, finally, I could have my mate to myself. Yes, Princess Allison was still an obstacle, but I could feel the bond between Alpha King Xalen and me growing. Gosh, Haylee. Don't go dark now. “Thank you for doing

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I couldn't bring myself to dig into Laura’s letters. I was too scared of how hard the truth about the woman I had loved for almost a decade would slap me in the face.So, instead of searching and reading myself, I let Haylee do it, even though she was another woman who could hurt me.Every letter that Haylee pulled out only confirmed that Laura wasn't faithful to me. Yes, she cheated on me, not just emotionally but sexually.She cheated on me by swearing her allegiance to whoever the hell she was sharing those letters with. She betrayed me.She betrayed my trust and our love.As hard as it was, I was beginning to come to terms with Laura's betrayal. With every letter, my heart grew accustomed to the painful jabs it had to endure, and my stomach accommodated these same jabs as well.“I'm about to read the seventh one I picked, Alpha King,” Haylee said, her voice soft and hardly audible, as if she was scared speaking too loud would trigger me.I nodded and sent a s
