All Chapters of THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

ANNA’S POVI couldn’t hate Charles because I understood how he felt. I didn’t approve of his ways of getting what he wanted by selling others but because I was going to use him to get to information that could help me get Xavier, I didn’t blame him.When he left my determination increased. I would make sure my death left behind a massacre. My entire being was prepared and when the door opened for the third time, I was more than ready.Four bulky guards came into the room and a smile covered my face as they stared at me, trying to see if I was going to attack.“It’s good that you have learned.” I laughed, waving my hand in the air. “But it's fine. I am not going to bite. Take me to Lartes.”They stared at one another before one developed the courage and came closer to me. He reached his hands to my arms, and I happily raised my shoulders to give him better access.They led me out of the room, and I took my time to study the outside world. Who knew, in my massacre, I might find just a p

XAVIER’S POVI lied to Nico.Knowing that Lartes had Anna was more than a distraction. It was the most destabilising news ever. I knew she was strong and could take care of herself, but I also knew that Lartes was going to hurt every single cell on her body till he got what he wanted —and not knowing what it was he wanted was what bothered me.I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t think straight. Every second that passed was a moment that she had to endure pain from Lartes. If he could try killing me, who was his nephew, I didn’t want to even begin to imagine what he would do to her.My wolf was restless. My mate’s bond was pulling apart. I hated myself on top of that, over and over as the thoughts of how I had treated her the last time we met reflected in my head.She had come to me herself. She had given herself to me. She dropped her pride and she had opened up her heart to me, but I was a jerk. I left her there to cry.I heard when her knees had touched the ground. I heard when the first

ANNA’S POVI endured all Kira’s antics until she got ready to sleep. I became excited as I knew how much of a deep sleeper she was. It wouldn’t be a problem for me to slip in and out of the room without her notice.But my anticipation and excitement died down briskly as she got out of bed and locked my leash to her bedpost.Panic instantly clutched me.It wasn’t because the fact that she locked me up made me feel even more degraded, but it also meant I wouldn’t be able to move. It meant I wouldn’t be able to get out of here to find where Lartes had the weapons he got from Kelvin stored —that was if he had.“Kira… what are you doing?” I started in a shaky voice. “What if I need to use the bathroom?”Her eyes glowed as she went on to do as she pleased, ignoring my cries but I didn’t give up. As she wanted to go back to the bed, I held her arm.“Kira please, what if I need to use the bathroom… what if—”“Relax, Anna,” she said pulling her hand out of my hold. “You can do it right there.

ANNA’S POVMy heart was shaking as I thought of ways to get this information to Xavier or even Xena. Then my mind went to Charles, surely, he would come to my aid. He was only helping Lartes because he had no choice. Lartes had his mate.But if I offered him a chance to get saved. It was going to be a win-win situation for him and Lartes didn’t even have to know that he was in the background. All he had to do was tell Xena about the location of the weapon so that she in turn would find a way to send the warning to Xavier.If we won this war, he would get his mate back but if it happened that we lost, then that wouldn’t be a problem —well, at least for him. Nothing would change in his situation. His mate would still be with Lartes and whatever agreement they had might still work.With that in mind, I slipped out of the corner I was hiding and started heading out in the open. I hoped that the sea wasn’t too far. Since the men were bringing in the boxes, I guessed that it was coming from

ANNA’S POVThe fight outside intensified yet it didn’t come to the palace. Everyone was becoming agitated as we waited for the fight to get to us.After Abigail yelled at Kira, she ran back out to continue organizing the men. While I remained in the room, trying to hide my excitement at their misfortune. It was amazing how restless they were all becoming, and I could only pray that this fight was successful.I prayed that Xavier continued with whatever idea he had going. Because it was making them restless.Lartes had the guns, but it seems the attack Xavier’s men brought exceeded his manpower. So even if they took the guns, there was a limit to the number of people they could kill before they got flipped over.Xavier was playing the siege game and if he had his cards right, he could win this. Lartes and his people couldn’t stay stocked up in here forever. It would get to a stage where he would want to leave.Their food will finish, water will finish, and they will become cornered rat
