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
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 3 (XAVIER’S POV)
It was another cold morning in the Blood Moon Pack and the very fact that my uncle, Lartes had summoned me to the throne room was enough to spoil my day. I flashed a feigned smile to the guard that broke the news to me and I quickly wore a leather jacket. I knew I had to give my uncle and his guards the impression that I was on their side. The tiniest hint of treason would have meant my warm blood watering the fields. My uncle, Lartes Octavian had assumed the role of the Lycan King of our pack, the Blood Moon Pack, and leader of the Council of Werewolves and Lycans after the mysterious death of my parents a year ago, and although the pack doctor had made a public announcement that their death was of natural causes, I never believed it. It was too much of a coincidence; the two of them died one night, and my uncle suddenly returned from his journey halfway across the West the next day. I knew he had a hand in their death and ever since then, I had devoted my time to secretly find
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 4 (XAVIER’S POV)
“What?”“Yes, my King,” the guard cried. “We need to get you to safety now.”My uncle turned to face another guard standing at the door “Call for backup at once,” he said. “I want a thousand guards manning the walls of this palace. If any harm comes upon my nephew or his mate, count yourselves dead.”“Yes, my King,” the guard nodded and disappeared around the corner.“And you, come show me where the intruders are,” my uncle thundered. I watched as they marched out of the throne room and immediately they were out of sight, I ran to meet Harrison who was still on the floor.“Harry?” I tried to get him to sit up but he pushed my hand away. “Arr, you okay Harry?”“Don’t touch me!” he hissed. “You almost killed me, you fucking animal!”“You know I had to make it look real,” I frowned. “I’m really sorry. I’ve got to get you out of here now before he realizes there’s no invasion.”“How would we get out of here with a thousand guards manning the walls?” Harrison sighed. “And your new girlfr
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 5 (KITCHEN TRIP)
ANNA'S POVThe whole place looked too calm for an invasion. Apart from the large influx of armed guards, I could not hear any sound of a battle. That however was not any of my business.My business was the only thing I cared about and that imbecile Xavier was trying to block my path.I walked around the palace, so magnificent it felt otherworldly, and with every step I took and the magnificence I beheld, my anger and hate for the royal house of the Black Moon pack grew.I walked aimlessly with no direction in mind except the direction my nose led me. It had been a long time since I perceived the sweet smell of fresh bloody meat baked with butter and spices and the sweet-smelling scent of the roast drew me using my nose as bait towards what I suspected to be the kitchen.I walked around freely, facing only a few oppositions from the royal guards which I happily and easily obliged. In fact, I was glad for their opposition as it accorded me a means to unleash the rage that was coursing t
THE ALPHA KING'S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE CHAPTER 6 (THE FAKE INVASION)
ANNA'S POV I walked behind the young guard though a huge part of me stayed at that kitchen door lamenting what could be described as the sweet aroma of butter-soaked roast bidding farewell to my crying tongue and stomach.I was pissed and all through the walk back to the throne room, I resisted the urge to wrench the little guard's neck, rendering him unconscious, and running back to the kitchen.My stomach grumble loudly, letting its displeasure known about being promised food and then being deprived of it."Sheesh!" I whispered to it as I clutched it.The guard kept on looking around, fidgeting. I knew it was out of fright. He was watching out for the attacker.I rolled my eyes at him. A good part of me wanted to enjoy his discomfort but I was too hungry, and this pissed me off."Relax. There is no one to harm you," I said, trying to comfort him as I was certain that I was not going to hurt him.I studied him as I walked more as a means to get my mind off the food I had just missed
