THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 170 (THE WRONG TALON)
XAVIER’S POVHer question left a ringing in my ears and the way she collapsed to the ground, caused a panic to start within me. I knew what her argument was based on was the right thing but why did loving her also feel right? Why did fighting for us, feel right?Haven’t we been through enough already?I left my position and went to her with a troubled mind of my own, but I was certain we could figure it out together. I reached out my hands to her and as they came into contact the flame spreading between us was the assurance I needed. This couldn’t be wrong.“Anna…” I whispered with a blank head but at least it was a starting point.She raised her sad tears filled eyes to me and I was about to start cooking up the first plan that came into my head when the door opened and Charles, the vessel captain, stepped in.He bowed before us and held the position. “My king, I have news from your sister, the queen of the island,” he said, and my brows rose instantly to my hairlines.“What about my
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 171 (WRONG BLOODLINE)
XAVIER’S POV“What?” We all echoed out in the room in shock.Our voice was of different intensity. Where Charles had the gentlest of them, I couldn’t control mine.“This is unbelievable. How can it be possible?” I cried out. I couldn’t believe this. “Edna can’t be an Octavian, from who? We all know that Uncle Lartes was never even into women to begin with! The man preferred men!”My eyes were narrowed, and my temples were squeezed into a tight knot as I tried to unravel the truth or even basic idea about the information that Xena had given me.“She is not from Uncle Lartes,” she whispered and the cloud of confusion in my head got even thicker.“How then?” I growled. “If she isn’t from Uncle Lartes, who then birthed her?”My father had just one brother and that was Lartes. If he didn’t have then whose child was Edna— as soon as the thoughts crossed my mind, I froze. This meant one thing, if she was an Octavian, then she was…“She is our half-sister?” I whispered, unable to say the word
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 172 (UNITING THE OCTAVIAN)
XAVIER’S POVThe room fell into perfect silence as they stared at me with shock in their eyes. My eyes narrowed especially on Nico who was trying to play me here like I was a fool.“So, according to you, it isn’t a crime for me to mate with my half-sister and also, it is perfectly fine if we go against what the elders said?” I said shaking my head and watching their reactions.While Nico had a defiant frown and I could guess that he was already scheming for the next words he was going to say to frame me up into his selfish wishes, Edna could no longer look at me in the eye.It was funny because the idea of her being my half-sister was still very strange to my head but nevertheless, as I said it and they were reacting like this, then it could only be true. The problem now was how they birth to her.“Xavier, listen to me,” Nico started up and I raised my brows ready to listen to his trash for a second time. “I know all this information is a little overwhelming but none of these stories
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 173 (A PROMISE OF LOVE)
ANNA’S POVAs I got to Xavier’s chambers, I went straight to the bed, hoping I could get some rest but as I lay on it, there was nothing relaxing about it.Every scenario and circumstance kept playing into my head. My father’s kidnapping. The change of the details of the curse. The probability of Edna being Xavier’s half-sister and then Xena wanting to place her life on the edge of danger…How could I rest?Xavier’s plan was a full-on attack but what if… that one question held the key to the outcome of so many lives. It was true that with a perfectly planned attack with everyone’s support, we could win it, but would Nico change his mind?Unable to calm my head as the thoughts came moving in and out of me, I got up and walked to the window. Watching as the men outside, sat gathered in groups.It was Nico’s men and Xavier’s men too. They were sitting together in groups as if they had not just been enemies a few hours ago.A small smile danced on my lips. It was a good development and ma
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 174 (CURSES AND WAR)
XAVIER’S POVLeaving Anna behind made me stronger. The further I got from the room, the more determined I became to end this war and curse once and for all.“Xavier, the men are ready,” Edna said as she joined me on the corridor as we headed out of the palace through the warehouse, which led us straight to the vessels.“The men are yet to be addressed and they are all waiting at the beach,” Charles said, and I nodded at him.“But there is one problem,” Nico’s voice filled the space and all three of us stopped to stare at him.There was a frown on his face as he joined us. “What is the problem?” I asked as he got closer.“We will have to do your coronation before you leave. It needs to be official before the realm’s flag can be raised.” Nico explained and I could already feel Edna’s hesitation beside me, but I had the perfect solution to this.“Call the elders, they shall be going with us,” I said and started walking away but Nico ran after me, stopping right in front of me.“But Xavi
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 175 (THE BEGINNING OF THE END)
XAVIER’S POVAs the vessels landed on the shores of the island, a war cry was let out and everyone took position.At first, everything seemed perfect. The people in the town were packed away from the scenes. They were led to a safe location. Our aim wasn’t to kill them but to liberate them from the monster who was growing under their noses.As the people got cleared, we proceeded straight to the palace entrance with full attack, but it wasn’t met with force as the few guards present in the town were not even expecting what awaited them nor were they prepared for war.They were easily whisked away, leaving the gates bare. But as soon as we got to this point, that was when I realized that Kelvin knew we were coming. This wasn’t a surprise attack; it was a well-precedented attack.His men appeared from all sides of town as if they had been waiting for us to finish clearing the people away so that they would attack. They were more than we had anticipated and to top that up, their arrival
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 1 (ANNA'S POV)
“Your betrothed would be here any minute,” my father, Alpha Faustus announced, breaking the eerie silence in the dining.My step-sister, Kira was present at the dining but I knew very well that he was not referring to her. He was talking to me. I had been betrothed to the son of the Alpha of a neighboring pack, Prince Christopher, and no matter how much I protested, my father would not hear of it.“You don’t seem to be excited, Anna?” he frowned.I stared up at him and rolled my eyes. Did he really expect me to be excited after he had married me off like an animal without seeking my consent?“I’m doing this for the family,” my father pressed on. “For your mum…”“Enough!” I cut in. “Don’t speak about my mother, please.” I knew all he had to say. It was the same old story –our pack was lacking resources after the wars and we needed alliances with richer packs to survive. My marriage to Prince Christopher would mean the end of the hunger in our pack. According to my father, their pack w
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 2 (ANNA’S POV)
“What did you just say?”“I said you shall be Prince Xavier’s mate,” my father thundered. “And that is final!”“The lame prince?” Kira laughed. “You want to marry me off to an imbecile? Really Dad?”“He is not lame,” my father retorted. “And he is not an imbecile either. All you’ve heard are fables, lies spread by their enemies.”“I’m not taking that risk Dad,” Kira shook her head. “I’d rather starve to death here.”“You would leave before the day breaks tomorrow,” my father grunted. “It is a short journey. You would not disgrace this family.”Kira stood up to her feet. “Watch me.” She dropped her fork on the table and walked out, leaving the two of us alone in the dining.“Kira!” my father called, but she didn’t even spare him a second look. She banged the door behind her as she left and I watched as my father sunk to the dining chair.My father, Alpha Faustus was now a shadow of his former self. He was no longer the handsome and jovial Alpha that our pack knew him to be. Ever since
