All Chapters of THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

XAVIER’S POVMy brain shut down as the screams of the people I had come to know as my friends and true family burned in the flames.My heart stopped beating and things seemed to happen in slow motion. I saw their faces contorting in pain, yet no sound came. I turned to see the evil grin on my uncle’s face as he watched my reaction and enjoyed the pain on their faces.Then my eyes landed on Abigail and that was when it dawned on me that this was truly happening. She was unaffected. Never staring at the people —our people. Her eyes remained on me, and I asked myself how did we get here?It was then reality struck me. Everything came crashing back and shock took over my body. I heard the screams, and I felt the heat begin to grow.The shock took a few seconds to wash off me but when it finally did, I let out a deafening scream and my vision turned red. All I felt was anger and rage. Heat waves radiated out of my body, and I felt the rational part of me break out.I couldn’t let this happ

ANNA’S POV“Hi, I am Xena and please pay no attention to Charles here. You don’t have to use my title,” she said with a laugh, but I was still too shocked to speak. I only stared at the resemblance I wanted to deny but staring at me right in the face.I couldn’t tell if it was just a figment of my imagination, or it was truly staring at me in the face.Have I tried to avoid thinking about Xavier so much that he was now etched in my mind? And I was seeing him in everyone?Her eyes twinkled with worry, and she turned to bold guy who I now knew was Charles and he nodded his head. It was a code that she understood very well because when her eyes returned to me, the smile on her face returned.“You are welcome to the island of Peace. Please, come with me, I will personally show you a place to stay,” she said and waved her hand in the air.My brows raised as for a second, I thought she was going to make magic or something, but two guards appeared before us and they bowed to her.She smiled

ANNA’S POVXena becomes a very good friend of mine. She came around every day to check on us and how we were fairing. Her sweetness was still too good to take in but as time went by, I became more and more comfortable with her.I even started looking forward to her visits as she healed the part of my heart that missed Xavier. Spending time with her was like being with Xavier —it wasn’t exactly the same, but it just made me feel like I was close to a part of him.It didn’t complete heal the guilt, but it helped me survive through it. I still cried at night when I was sure my father was still sleeping. His gestures, especially in the last days had been everything to me. The flowers, I could still remember the smells of the lavenders and I wished I could turn back the hands of time and tell him how I felt.It was difficult sleeping on a bed where he wasn’t there. I tried not to think about it, but I couldn’t stop. I knew that there was no one to blame but me yet I prayed that time could

ANNA’S POVIt finally became clear to me why she appeared at every function and still worked her ass off on the administration of the island. Her mate was a cripple. My heart started bleeding for her as I wondered how she would have felt being thrown here only to discover that the one whom she was supposed to marry was cripple.“Hello, you must be Anna,” he said, pulling me out of my thoughts.I quickly pulled up a smile and nodded. I raised the edges of my dress and gave him a gentle courtesy, “Hello my king… it is nice to finally meet you,” I said trying my best to hide my emotions.He stretched his hand to me, and I had to pinch myself to go near him. I took his hand they were surprisingly strong. “Xena, didn’t you tell Anna that we don’t call ourselves by titles here?” he said with my hand still in his while he looked at his mate.Xena smiled and playfully pushed her lips into a pout. “I am sorry, I forgot to tell her how much you hate them,” she said with a giggle.He let out a

ANNA’S POVKelvin’s words caused my heart to twist away from its position and the world began to shake violently in my head. I tried to hold onto something but there was nothing.I was suddenly alone in a deserted land and the only sign of life I could see was Xavier —who was completely out of my reach.“Anna.”I heard my voice being called but I couldn’t move my body in a direction other than where Xavier was standing. I tried to stretch my hands to him, but my body refused to move still.“Anna!” I was shaken back to reality as my name got called a second time. I blinked hard and found that I was still in the mansion with Kelvin and Xena.They were staring at me with worry planted deep in their eyes.“Anna, you zoned out, is everything okay?” Kelvin asked but Xena was silent as she had an inkling of what I could be going through.It was a good thing that Xavier was still alive. My wolf was excited but being told that he was held by a certain house didn’t sound right in my ears. I fea
