The Alpha King's Hated Mate 119. Lake of Fire
HAYLEE~~It was instant, sudden, and soul-crushing. It was consuming and extremely painful. It was the kind of pain that I had never experienced in my life.Coming from me, a young woman who has experienced pain since she was born? Coming from me, who had to endure every kind of pain ever known to my kind?However, all the pain I have experienced in my life, combined, doesn't sum up to what seized my body in an instant, throwing me into the very source of agony.“Ah!” I cried out sharply before I could stop myself.Sophia, who was in my bedroom with me, looked at me with concern. It pained me to see her face knit with worry, but I couldn't help it. In fact, it felt like the devil himself had decided to pour his entire lake of fire into me.My sweat glands became hyperactive just as suddenly as the pain. I couldn't breathe properly. Heck! I couldn't seem to think properly.“Haylee,” Sophia called out to me, but I couldn't respond.I couldn't use my tongue to speak, but I could scream

HAYLEE~~“Daddy!” Sophia cried out.I couldn’t look at her because my eyes wouldn’t budge, not even for a second. My eyes wouldn't shift from Xalen’s bloody frame.His clothes, his exposed skin, and even his face. He was bloody all over.And even though I couldn't look at Sophia, I knew tears were rolling down her cheeks as the wind carried her shaky voice straight to my ears. Sophia’s voice was not only shaky but also full of horror.The same horror was coursing through me, burning every sign of joy in my life like a merciless wildfire.I was visibly shaking, yet my legs kept moving as I ran with the warriors who were carrying Xalen on a stretcher. Sophia was running too, and we were both crying—one crying out loud and the other crying internally as they both feared the unknown.“Somebody get the princess out of the way. She shouldn’t see this!” An unfamiliar but authoritative voice echoed, snapping me back to life as I recalled that it was my duty to take care of Sophia and shield

HAYLEE~~I was losing my grip on the solid ground. I was losing my grip on Sophia, and I was losing my grip on sanity.“Haylee?” Sophia called out to me, fear latched onto every letter as she pronounced my name. “Why aren’t we moving? Daddy has been taken into the palace, and Uncle Roy is almost inside. We have to move.”Yes, I had to move.But I couldn't bring myself to.Liya’s words continued to echo in my mind, and I lost every will to continue walking or even living.“He isn’t breathing,” Liya had said to me a few minutes ago, and my feet had frozen along with every other sense I had. I was standing in the middle of the palace yard.“Haylee!” Sophia raised her voice as she tried to snap me out of the trance that my wolf’s words had trapped me in.I looked into Sophia’s eyes and began to wonder how she would react when she found out that Xalen was gone. Tears brimmed in my eyes as I thought about what would become of me and the kids now that Xalen was gone.Gosh, I was so fuckin

Princess Allison’s POV ~~It wasn't the re-echoing sound of the gunshots that woke me up from my afternoon nap. It wasn't the noise from the hell that broke loose when the gunshots shook the foundation of the realm.Neither was it the noise within the palace.I slept through all of that, but I didn't know I had at this moment. All I knew was that I was sleeping soundly until the sharp sound of my ringtone jabbed my eardrums, calling me back to consciousness.Even Nala groaned in my mind, “Gosh, why is he calling now?”My wolf's hesitation to get out of bed was loud and clear. Also, her assumption that the caller was the mystery man I had been talking to for the past few days was equally loud.I got out of bed, or more accurately, I stretched my hand to get my cell phone from the bedside table without leaving the bed. I answered the call, my eyelids barely open.“Calling to yell at me for letting a perfect opportunity slide?” I said into the speaker before the mystery man could talk

HAYLEE~~The Royal Healers have been in there with Roy and Xalen for almost an hour. My legs were becoming numb from standing so long, but I couldn't bring myself to leave or even sit, not when I was supposed to be guarding the door.And most importantly, not when I have a mate whose condition I still don’t know.Or maybe I knew.I mean, the pain in my chest wasn't as severe as it was before the Healers started healing Xalen. That was a good sign, right?“It is a good sign. I believe he will regain consciousness soon,” Liya said to me, her voice coming out less hostile. “I didn’t mean to be a bitch, Hay. It was just my instincts.”“I know, Liya,” I muttered to my wolf, using the mental connection between us. “How are you so confident that he will be fine?”“You would be confident too if you opened yourself to the bond completely. You aren’t feeling the strain on the bond anymore, and it’s not cold either. It means there’s life from both sides,” Liya answered, each of her words helpi

Princess Allison’s POV~~Xalen is alive.That was all I needed to hear and know to calm my racing heart.“Will Uncle Roy wake up?” Sophia asked with trembling lips as she stared back at the Healer who brought the news to us.Although I was able to relate to her pain when she told me to stop making scenes so the Healers could concentrate on saving Xalen, I couldn’t understand why she was crying over her dead uncle.Roy and I had never had an encounter. He didn’t stand out to me. I had no reason to feel anything towards him. Not hate. Not love. Not pity.As long as Xalen was fine, I was fine, and I could finally bounce back on Haylee for having the audacity to speak to me rudely and without any remorse. I would make her suffer for the statement she made.Hell, she yelled those words in my face like she was challenging me to counter her.“I am done tolerating her. She has to go. She is becoming too comfortable, Allie. I hate her,” Nala grumbled within me.Oh, I hated the mere sight of

HAYLEE~~I stood there with my jaw dropped.I couldn’t move. My mouth still agape as Princess Allison turned on her heels and marched off, or more like stormed off, fuming over the Healer’s actions that I knew she would have seen as a slap in the face.Anger was evident in every step she took, and I just couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed.My eyes cut to the Healer, whom I should really consider calling a warrior because it takes serious strength to hold someone as high up in the rank chain as Princess Allison in check. Even Alpha King Xalen had refrained from restraining Princess Allison or arguing with her.But this Healer did it without flinching and without remorse.“She is badass. This is the kind of she-wolf we should befriend, not Benita and her silly friends,” Liya gasped within me, throwing shade at Maeve and Orla.Speaking of Benita, I haven’t seen her since I ignored her at the entrance. I assumed she was looking after Asher and Jodie since she must have noticed t

Alpha Prince Roy’s POV~~One minute, I was walking toward the bright, captivating light that seemed like the relief I needed after all I had been put through by my loved ones.My supposed loved ones.One minute I was chasing that relief because even though my body felt numb, my mind remained active, replaying my father's words of disappointment over and over again. My mind wouldn't let go of the part my supposed destined mate played in all of this. Neither did it stop blaming Xalen as well, even though he wasn't to be blamed.My mind was messed up, so I believed chasing that bright light was the only way to get rest and peace. I believed catching up with the light would wipe my mind and make me a new person.One minute I was a floating man full of hope, but the next minute, I was yanked back to what I immediately knew was life because air rushed into my lungs as my eyes flew open. My heart thudded loudly within my chest despite the almost unnoticeable ache, and I gasped, trapped bet

The Alpha King's Hated Mate 225. More Than Enough
HAYLEE~~Saying I was relieved would be an understatement of the century; I was overwhelmed with elation, a surge of joy that went beyond mere relief. The sound of joy and the promise of a better future were enough reasons for me to be happy.And I was.But at the same time, I was worried. Or maybe it was fear because I wasn’t sure I could live up to the pack’s expectations. The same expectations that I had infused into their minds when I said these words to them:“I promise to be a queen who leaves marks—marks that will remain unerasable throughout history.”Even after the small celebration that happened after my coronation was scheduled, I still couldn’t figure out how those words made their way out of my mouth. It was as if a part of me I never knew existed voiced those words… a part of me that was awakened when the pack openly accepted me.“You’ve always wanted to be accepted,” Liya chimed into my mind as I walked back to the bedroom with Xalen, who was grinning from ear to ear
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 234. Crown the Queen
ALPHA KING XALEN~~Mornings and nights have become my favorites. I wake up to Haylee in the morning and share breakfast with the family before facing the rest of the world. And at night, I get to leave the chaos behind, return to my loved ones, and fall asleep with Haylee in my arms.But today, this cherished morning had to end earlier than usual. In that moment, I worried it would be yet another tough day for my mate and me.“It’s Roy. You might want to see this,” my cousin’s voice boomed through the room before I could even open the door.Sophia and Asher had been hanging on me as I stood there, but as soon as they saw Roy, they jumped on him instead, giving me a moment to compose myself after the strenuous dancing and singing.“You call that singing? Haylee calls it a sound. A bad sound,” Theo mocked me through the link.Roy’s cry for help snapped me out of it. “Can you get one of them off me? I’m not a father yet, and this is pure torture.”“More like practice, brother,” I quip
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 223. Sleeping Beauty
HAYLEE~~I cried my heart out to sleep last night. I was sad after the meeting with Kaylee, and even though Flavai tried to console me, I couldn’t shake off the mood. I thought sleeping early would help me relax, and I yearned to reach out to Aradia so we could talk.Before I went to bed, Jodie was cranky, and she wouldn’t stop crying until I carried her. I didn’t know when I fell asleep with her in my arms, but it was a good sleep. It was as if she was crying to reach me so she could comfort me, even though other people had failed to do so.Jodie just happened to be my little comforter.That was the first thought that came to mind as I slipped out of the sleep realm that morning. Although I didn’t get to connect with Aradia, I woke up feeling less sad, and I didn’t understand why until my eyes fluttered open and instantly connected with Xalen’s happy eyes.“Good morning, sleeping beauty.” Xalen’s voice and love rushed into my mind as he spoke through our mate bond.His eyes twinkl
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 222. The Forefront
ALPHA KING XALEN~~In that moment, my pack members got their priorities right. I could feel it in my bones, yet I added, “Protesting to have Haylee punished for being a good person caught in the middle of bad ones or evil would mean you are ready to have Alpha Richard as your Alpha and King.”To clarify, I added, “Yes, I will stop being your Alpha and give the pack to him. He and his family will lead you, and just like now, when they commit a crime or treat you unjustly, you won’t be able to prove it. Even if you can, the court will be against you, and your fellow pack members will wage war against you until you die in silence or get killed despite your innocence.”For a few minutes, I didn’t utter another word. I needed everything I had said to sink into the hundreds of minds listening to me.After a while, I continued, “I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about leaving after I found out that Laura was used against me. I wanted to give up because I was tired of losing ever
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 221. A General Link
ALPHA KING XALEN~~After many hours of secret meetings with the ten elders who had come forward to take an oath of loyalty, I thought to check on my mate before moving on to speak to every member of the pack.She has been on my mind all day, and I worry about her.However, I knew I had to get this done before going to Haylee so I could give her my full attention. With that thought in mind, I shoved my desire to see her to the depth of my stomach, looking around my empty office as I opened my mind to every member of the Royal Pack, creating a general link so everyone could hear me.Everyone but the little kids under the age of thirteen.My pack members' curiosity could be felt through the link I created, but since I was their Alpha, that feeling wasn’t overwhelming. I could control it.I breathed into their minds, “Good evening, members of the Royal Pack. As you can tell, it’s your Alpha and King, and this is a general message for all of you.”I managed to calm my nerves, sealing my
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 220. Kaylee's Truths
HAYLEE~~“He would never have loved me if I didn't force him to. Hell, he is tolerating me because of what I know. Even now, he doesn't love me.” Kaylee smiled sadly.Her eyes were on me, and her sadness burned through the protective layer of my skin.I wished I could tell her that wasn't the truth, but at this moment, I knew nothing.“He would have loved you more than he loved me because he loved your mom more than he loved mine,” Kaylee stated, her voice blunt with no emotion. “Maybe if I didn't make him hit you, he would have felt love for you instead of the guilt I know he carries in his heart.”It was hard to believe Kaylee was the reason I got beaten. I mean, yes, I have always known she lied to our dad just to watch me suffer, but it was hard to believe she asked him to, and he did.Leverage or not, it doesn't feel right.Kaylee continued on that path, though, saying, “I couldn't let that happen, so I ruined his chances with you, threatening him every day so he couldn't hurt
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 219. Kaylee's Story
HAYLEE~~Would I have turned evil and mean if I’d found out that my dad cheated on my mom when I was five years old?I asked myself that before I heard the rest of Kaylee’s story, and my answer was no.But if I had waited until she finished, I believe my answer would have been different.“Like all lying assholes, Dad didn't tell my mom that he cheated on her. And even though she felt the pain when he did the deed with your mom, he denied it and blamed her pregnancy for everything, saying it was just an early sign,” Kaylee breathed, adjusting her position on the floor where she’d sat since she entered the room.I let her continue without interrupting. I noticed tears trickling down her face, her inner child weeping as her heart was broken all over again. I could only imagine the pain Kaylee felt when our drunken father confessed all this to her.And for her to remember it so vividly—that must have hurt so much that she buried it deep in her mind.“My mom believed his lies, but the t
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 218. Fraternal Twins
HAYLEE~~“All your life, Dad made you believe that the reason he hated you was because you looked like our late mom, or did he tell you she abandoned us?” Kaylee began. “I can't keep track of the story because it keeps changing.”Rather than tell my twin sister that I felt the same way but knew our mom was still alive somewhere, I let her continue. She added, “Well, I believed that too because he started hating you until I found out he lied about our mom leaving and then dying.”What did she mean before he started hating me? Was there a time Alfred loved me? That man hated me from the second I was born, but Kaylee wouldn’t know that because she is a self-centered brat. Or so I told myself.Still, I didn’t try to correct her. I simply listened.“When we were younger, about five years old, I found a picture of a woman who looked like an older version of me. I have Dad’s eyes and hair, but my face was all from this woman,” Kaylee breathed, holding my gaze. “I don't know if you remembe
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 217. Tale of A Past
HAYLEE~~“Feels like it’s going to be a good day, after all.” Liya chirped happily within me.In that moment, I believed the same because I assumed nothing could ruin my mood, not even meeting with Kaylee and Alfred.I assumed I was ready for anything they had for me. After all, what could be more shocking than the fact that I could communicate with a woman I had never met before and even bond with her?Nothing. I thought to myself, wearing a big smile and holding onto the memories that Xalen burned into my mind and skin earlier today.Since I needed a private place to discuss with Kaylee and Alfred— a place where Allison wouldn’t be lurking around with her minions—I decided to meet with them in Flavia's former room in the Healers’ building.“I am going with you and staying there with you, Haylee. Do you agree?” Flavia asked as soon as she saw me heading for the door.“Do I have a choice?” I laughed freely, oblivious to the shocking revelations that awaited me.“No, you don’t,” Fla
