The Alpha King's Hated Slave CHAPTER 179
Leila’s POV“Could you wait a bit out here?” I said turning back at Maureen.“Why?” She retorted almost immediately.I was somewhat taken aback by her rebuttal, but I immediately regained myself.“Because I said so. Any questions?”“No sister,” She replied with her head bent down dejectedly.“Let’s go, Smithson,” I said as I turned away from her.Smithson and I went inside his home and immediately the door closed behind us, he snaked his hands around my waist and planted hungry kisses on my lips.“Hang on Smithson,” I said, bringing his actions to an abrupt pause.“I thought you were here to wish me good luck for tomorrow,” He said, and one look at him one could tell that he was not faking his normality.“Come on Smithson, You can call off the pretense, I know what you did and I am proud of you,” I coaxed him.“But I did not…”“Smithson, I don’t like that you want to lie to me,” I said, forming vexation.“But I don’t even know what I did that is making you proud of me?” Smithson repl

Leila’s POVAfter Maureen left, I followed Smithson using a concealing spell to mask my presence. I knew that there would definitely be confrontations between himself and Marcus.If he emerged victorious for me, that was an added advantage but if not, I would have to find a way to strike another deal with Marcus.After walking a while, in a straight path, he switched and walked towards the other side of the mansion. As he was walking, he collided with someone who had a good hold over him.“Watch where you are going boy," he barked at the young man.I was expecting the young man to flinch, but he did not. Instead, he stood and gazed at Smithson's face.I couldn't see the face of who it was, but Smithson's face was white as snow, and immediately his eyes fell on the person.“What the hell are you doing here? Wanna know what happened to your sister?" He yelled but there was no response from the young man.Desperate to see who it was, I decided to use a little trick to make the person sp

Lily’s POVAs we arrived at the lodge that seemed less problematic than the others, Clara walked up to the counter to make payments for our stay in the rooms for the night.“Please send up some drinks, hot milk, a bowl of peasant soup for five, and hot water for the kid's bath,” She said to the young brunette who stood behind the counter.My attention was drawn away by the chattering of the men seated in the bar. I unconsciously ran my eyes through them to be sure none seated amongst them was suspicious. Clara's voice tore my attention on them away."She said hot bath on the house," Clara said with a wide grin."That is great because as the one responsible for you now, I have no money..."I laughed out loud at his statement. He was obviously a kid and barely knew what he was saying. "Come on kiddo, let us all get settled in,""Kiddo? I don't think that is befitting for my personality," The boy protested.I smiled at how cute he looked and realized I barely remembered his name. "What i

Shawn's POVThe hardest part of my plan wasn't killing King Adonis, it was escaping and the sweetest part was not in the joy of his death but in that of Smithson.Five years ago, he plunged his claws into parents right before my eyes and said that he would do me the pleasure of watching him have my sister over and over again before killing me in her front.Men like Smithson deserved to be cleansed from the surface of the earth and men who had the potential to be like him. Men like Marcus.“Get him! He flipped to the outside of the mansion!" I heard the guards scream.I was still in Smithson's form and build. I needed the men of the Twilight Ridge Pack, to believe that Smithson was the traitor.I ran along the servant's wing, and I entered into the last room on the block. The room felt deserted and bare to belong to even a servant. Slaves were better cared for by their masters.I walked a bit till I found a closet. “Hello!" I called, but there was no response.I went into the closet an

Marcus's POVWalking back inside the Mansion, it felt so much different, like a cold, lifeless shell. Everything that happened tonight drowning me in, weighing heavily on me. I was as troubled as the storm growing inside me.Who could have thought that the great alpha king Adonis could be brought down by a knight he honored and adored so much?Even I thought my father loved Smithson more than he loved me. If treason was perceived, I would suspect Leila Darkwood and her power-seeking father and not Smithson.But something doesn't feel right.As Smithson drew his last breath, he said, “I didn't…” and somewhere beneath, I felt he wasn't the one who killed my father.Winston came to me at the entrance of the mansion. His eyes filled with both sympathy and pity- something I didn't appreciate at all.“I–I-I am so sorry,” he began gently, stuttering for the right words of consolation. " I wish there was something I could do..”"There is nothing you or anybody can do, Winston,” I cut him off

Lucas's POVI was sitting in the meadow, listening to the cool night breeze. I was going to get Lily no matter what. Initially, it felt like I was only joking, even to myself. But now, I was more determined and I would stop at nothing until she said yes to me.I rested my back on the rock behind me, trying to allow nature to calm my nerves. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a tint of silver on the bare lands.Just as I was beginning to enjoy the comfort of the evening, I felt the atmosphere begin to change and a gust of wind came in my direction after which, a note materialized before me.I tried reaching for it, but I could not hold it with my hands. “Hmmm, witch's doing,"I stood up to have a clearer view, then I read the content of the note. “So she knows of the kids too," I chuckled.Fate must really want those kids out of the goddamn way.This is my lucky chance.The delicate parchment was as expected: brief but yet, to the point. Leila Darkwood wanted the children out of the

Leila’s POV"Not a hair on my mother's or Lily's body must be touched!”I looked at the man standing in front of me and already knew he had ended from the beginning. He was in love. Love and our plans didn't mix.He wasn't going to survive long despite having such strong magical energy. “Do you have plans to stop a revenge attack on Lily's part?" I asked him.“Do you have for Marcus's own?" He retorted.“Marcus won't live beyond two months of his reign after we get married," I replied almost immediately.He looked shocked and unprepared to hear that coming from me. Maybe he thinks I'm a fool for love like he is. Shame.“When I get to that bridge, I'll cross it," He replied.Wrong answer. “Okay," I replied."I will send word when there is a lead,” The young man replied."You may leave,” I said.He nodded and turned to leave. The young man was quite skinny but handsome. He had freckles on his face with well-defined facial features. His brown hair made it easy to know who he was.“Lucas

Lily’s POVDinner was not as memorable as I imagined it would be. I was dining with the people I loved for the first time in five years at the same table.Still, there was no happy chattering, no laughing, no banter between the kids, and not even the basic smile.I tried to focus on the plate of food set in front of me. I took a spoonful of the tangy soup into my mouth.“Thank you, mother," Fiona said as she rose from the table after her brother.“Hmmm," I replied with a smile but my mind was elsewhere.Marcus.The dinner table was quickly missing seats and in no time, I found myself alone with Shawn. His presence was both comforting and unnerving.He had changed so much since we were younger, hardened by the experiences and losses we had both endured. Tonight, though, there was a fire in his eyes that I hadn’t seen before, he felt like a villain.“We need to talk,” Shawn said, his voice low and strained. He must have thought about this conversation for a long time before initiating i

Shawn's POVThe grand hall of the beautiful mansion was bathed in the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows.I sat in a chair close to where Sean and Clara sat. Marcus was about to be crowned King of the Wolves.“If you need anything tell me okay,” Clara said as she checked where I was wounded."Hmm, thank you, Clara,” I replied.Thanks to Lucas, I got more preferential treatment from Clara.The hall was filled with members from the four packs. The Twilight Ridge werewolves, led by Marcus, and Luna Crest led by a little girl who I barely knew. The Silvershade pack is led by me and the Bloodmoon pack is led by Shadowvale.Finally, all the pain, struggles, and fighting have been put behind us. As I scanned the room, my eyes landed on Marcus, standing tall in front of the hall.Beside him stood Lily, his marked bride, her eyes bright with happiness. Their children stood with them, looking around with wide-eyed wonder.The ceremony began with the eldest seat, s

Marcus’s POVTime passed in a blur and we have been having a happy season and time together. Every morning was beautiful to behold and every night was as peaceful and pleasurable as I had imagined it.Finding Lily was like I finally found my missing rib.My official coronation was the next day and I had lots of preparations to make, as well as make a courtesy visit to the villages and each pack.“What are you thinking so much about, my love?"I rolled my eyes. “Don't ever say that again Winston else I'll cut off your tongue,"“What? I was only trying to bridge the gap since she's out with Clara," He replied.“You should do that as your chubby self, rather than mimic your queen," I replied, faking anger.“Fine, I'll shut the door after me and send word to have her come back,” He replied, also feigning vexation.“Silly man," I said and we both laughed.By noon, we were all complete for lunch. It was beautiful to have the mansion this lively.“Mother, Aunt Clara taught me how to create w

Lily's POVDamn! I have been such a fool.I ran without considering where I was going. The pain was just too much to bear. I had pushed Marcus away despite my growing attraction to him because I also blamed him for everyone's death.But he was the one only trying to clean up his father's mess. “Arrggh!" I yelled into the sky.I don't know how or why, but it started to rain. The rain started as a drizzle, but it quickly turned into a downpour. I stayed in the rain and cried.Each step I took splashed through the forming puddles, and the cold rain soaked me to the bone. I barely noticed.“Lily, wait!” Marcus’s voice called out behind me. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t face him, not after everything I’d done.The memories of our past and the hurt I must have caused him played in my mind. I kept walking, but Marcus caught up to me, grabbing my arm and spinning me around to face him.“Lily, please, talk to me,” he said, his voice filled with concern and desperation.I yanked my arm free, the a

Marcus’s POVI stared around the room and noticed Lord Darkwood's absence and instantly knew that Leila was a distraction from where the real harm was occurring.I turned to Shawn, our eyes meeting for a moment. “We have to find a way through,” I said, my voice low and urgent.He nodded, his expression determined. “I will use my powers, while you support me.”We turned back to the barrier, our combined strength hammering against it. The air crackled with energy, the barrier shimmering under our powers. But it held firm, refusing to yield.Leila watched us, her smile never faltering. “You can’t win, Marcus. This is my game now.”But I refused to accept that. I dug deep, summoning every ounce of strength and determination I had. I thought of Lily, of Raymond and Fiona. I couldn’t fail them.With a final, desperate effort, we pushed against the barrier. There was a blinding flash of light, and suddenly, the barrier shattered, sending us tumbling forward.I scrambled to my feet, my eyes l

Marcus’s POVMy journey back to Mistwood Creek felt longer than I expected it. As I arrived at the villages, the clamor of battle was deafening.I noticed the full moon's glow on my skin and despite it being dark, I could spot all my runes. My fangs were out and so were my claws.I felt energy surge through me and my senses heightened. The tangy smell of blood and dust filled the air and I could make out the faint smell of cedarwood and flowers.I took out the vial and gulped everything down in one go, before proceeding in the direction of the mansion.I was going to find Lily and my kids no matter what.Arriving at the first gate to the mansion, I noticed Shadowvale and his men transformed back to their human form and whatever was left of my knights hurried behind me.“I told you Marcus, I would be back," Shadowvale said with a cold sneer."And I think you should be on your way out right about now,” I replied coldly.Shadowvale laughed and his men joined him. "Do I look like Shawn to

Shawn's POVMartin and I finally made our way out of the village just as the sun was about to set. The sky was colored with hues of orange and purple, and I could see the moon beginning to emerge, just as I was feeling my wolf gradually taking over me.As we passed through some parts of the village, I noticed some doors hung off their hinges, and debris littered the ground. Villagers with fearful expressions hurried past us, whispering frantically among themselves.“What happened here?” Martin asked, his voice hushed as we took in the scene.“Shadowvale,” I muttered, my jaw clenched. “He must have been here.”Martin's eyes widened. “We need to move quickly, Shawn. He was not supposed to attack the villagers.”“It's the full moon’s effect," I replied blankly. “Let's hurry up to him nonetheless,"The further we went, the more signs of destruction we saw. It was clear that Shadowvale had left his mark, and the villagers had suffered for it.“Damn him,” I cursed under my breath, fury boil

Leila’s POVWalking out of the throne room, I made my way back to the townhouse with haste. Lucas had proven to be so much of a headache.He was supposed to be an easy nut to crack, but he proved himself to be smarter than I made him to be.I had gotten Lily back and left instructions with the dark sorcerers of Luna Crest to make sure that Lucas didn't see the light of day.As I approached the townhouse, I saw Maureen waiting for me at the entrance, her face was pale and lacked any form of the usual excitement."Sister," she called out, in a flat and emotionless voice. “We need to hurry,” She said with a tone of indifference.I knew that who would still be feeling offended about Smithson's death, but there was nothing I was going to do about it.“Why is that?" I asked as we made our way inside the house.“There have been some little disruptions in the lower parts of the village and it was only a matter of time before the full attack began,” She replied coldly.I knew what that implied

Lucas's POV Looking at Leila's retreating back left me writhing in anger at her audacity in turning back on her words. I should have known better anyway, once an evil witch, always a wicked witch. I looked away from Leila and her flowing black veil and rested my eyes on the helpless Lily being carried away by the men who were with Leila. "Make sure she is not conscious," Leila instructed them. "The kids?" One asked. "Leave them as they are. Lucas already did that," She replied and turned to face me. Her dark men who surrounded me seemed to be there to restrict me from doing anything reckless, rather than execute me from the plan. "What happened to your integrity, Leila Darkwood," I asked her angrily. "I don't have one, Lucas Hawthorne," She replied with a sinister smile. "I actually don't have all day to spend here chit-chatting with you, so I will go ahead with my question," She knows who the hell I am. I searched her as she spoke and gauged the strength of the men

Marcus’s POVI was still doubtful of her innocence in all this, but for Lily's sake and Grayson's sake, I would give her the benefit of the doubt."Start speaking," I demanded, my voice echoing off the walls.She looked up at me, a flicker of hope in her eyes. "How is my father?"Really?"Stop playing games with me," I snapped, taking a step closer. "You’ll meet your father if you tell me what I need to hear."Clara seemed to hesitate, her gaze dropping to the floor. After a long moment, she sighed and looked back up at me. "Shadowvale is planning an attack on Mistwood Creek."I felt a surge of anger and concern. "Fair enough," I said. “But that's not all I want to hear and you know it,"“I'm sorry King Marcus, but I don't know who that whirlwind belonged to," She shook her head and I could feel her genuine flow of emotions.“Is there anyone you suspect might be after them?" I asked.“Apart from you, that would be Lucas. He wants the kids, Raymond and Fiona, dead and…” She paused.The
