All Chapters of The Alpha King's Ugly Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Mia!” he repeated, his fascination lingering in his deep voice. “It’s nice to meet you.” He stretched his hand out to her and when she took it; he brought it to his lips and placed a tender kiss on it.  Mia's skin crawled at the contact of his lips on her skin. She thought he would just shake her hand and she didn’t expect the kiss that followed. She knew at this point Xavier was red with anger, if not more, but he had to behave. They were in an open gathering and he couldn’t act out. This would get her into deep trouble, but she didn’t care. She wanted the trouble.  “The pleasure is mine,” she said, forcing on a smile.  The young server returned with her grape wine in a golden goblet and he handed it over to her. His eyes took notice of her and then Blake beside her before travelling to the back where the alpha king stood and his eyes displayed panic as if he was the one in trouble. Mia smiled at him, took the cup, nodded at B

“How do I not know this?” Mia asked, climbing down the stairs of the balcony along with Edward. She lifted her long blue gown with her hands to help keep her graceful step while racing down. “You should know by now that your husband is just as secretive as the listeners he confines in, or worse, the cave shamans,” Edward replies. Edward had barged into her study a few minutes ago while she read throug the records or the maidens’ council. He asked her if she knew what today was and she told him it was the third day of the week and the fifteenth day of March. He then asked if she knew today was Xavier’s birthday, to which she replied no. Then he told her it was. Mia didn’t believe it at first. She had woken up in the alpha king’s bed today, but he didn’t inform her about his special day. If he did, she would have remembered instead of staring at Edward like an idiot when he broke the news to her. Edward spent most of his days with his father, the alpha of alphas, and went with him on

His eyes lifted and locked on hers. His heartbeat increased and his body became alert at her closeness. He almost leaned in and kissed her lips, but he held himself back and glance down.  “I don’t think I’m a great king. I’m hardly a good one and many people have seen my dark side.”  “Many people might have seen your dark side, but I’ve seen the good side.” she leaned into him, tiptoeing so that her lips could meet his.  He kissed back immediately, his response desperate, and he pulled her closer to himself. This felt right, she felt right, more than anything else. Her soft lips tasted so sweet he could kiss her all day. He pulled back, panting after about a minute.  “We shouldn’t,” he cleared his throat, “we are out in the open.” “My king is conservative.” She teased. He chuckled and nod his head, “I don’t think you’d like to fuck me in the dirt while the horses watch.” he told her, glancing at the horses s

The door to Xavier’s chambers cracked open and a little light shone through, illuminating the darkness. Xavier’s angry eyes snapped open, and he ran off the bed to see who was intruding on him this time, and his eyes caught Mia. The anger he felt died as he saw the angelic creature he called his wife at his door. His hands ran over his face to wipe at it. An attempt to make himself look presentable to her. He hadn’t seen her in days and he had counted down till this moment and now he didn’t want her disappointed at what she saw. He had done a sloppy job of cleaning himself up. His robe clung to his body, shrunk terribly, and this was his worst look ever. He was still a mess, but she was here to see him, and that was all that mattered. The excitement he felt, however, was short-lived when he saw Edward step up beside her. Why were these two always together? Was he the reason she reacted so coldly to his profession? Was he the man she loved? Was that it? “Why a

Xavier and Mia, along with Edward, made their way towards the courtroom where Edward had told them Robb and the councils of elders were. If Xavier said he wasn’t afraid, he would be lying. If he had the chance to go back to three days ago, he probably would have done the same thing: protect his wife and queen and kill those assassins. He didn’t want to think of those waiting for him, and he didn’t want to think of the things ahead. The door opened and Xavier and Mia stepped into the courtroom where Robb sat in the upper seat and the eight elders beside him. Standing beside Robb was Elliott, and the sight of him made Xavier furious. “Should he be here?” he rose a concerned brow. “I asked him to stay,” Robb replied, and a smirk appeared on Elliott’s face. “It’s good to finally see you after three days of visiting!” “I’m sorry, your grace, the past three days haven’t been the best.” “Guilt or something else?” Robb asked. “I have no reason to feel guilty, your grace!” he answered.
