The Alpha King's Hated Mate 175. One of Them
ALPHA KING XALEN~~It wasn't surprising when Gladys confirmed that, truly, Uncle Calvin's death happened over two months ago, and neither was I stunned when she announced that he was poisoned with loads of poisonous silver.“Whoever fake Calvin was, he helped us figure out a lot even though he was trying to do the opposite,” Theo told me as Roy and I walked towards my pack office, where I planned to meet with Evan and Wyatt.I couldn't disagree because Theo was completely right.Thanks to fake Calvin, I discovered that Laura and I had a fake bond, made up with Roy, and found my way to Haylee without having to feel guilty.Thanks to fake Calvin, I understand that I had to be careful because even though I had lost so much, I still had so much more to lose.“It's unbelievable, My King,” Wyatt breathed after we all settled down in my Pack office. “The healers explained the result of the examination to us, but I can’t believe such a thing happened, and we didn’t know until now.”Evan no

HAYLEE~~One minute I was thinking about going to Gladys for help and more training that could help me reach my supposed mother, but the next minute, Xalen and Roy returned home, and we all began to prepare for the general pack meeting in the throne room.When I asked Xalen what the meeting was about, he answered before kissing me chastely, “You will see, Hay.”He also made me wear the prettiest dress that I owned before he left to get a few documents in his home office. I left his bedroom and joined Flavia and the kids downstairs, waiting for Roy and Xalen to join us.However, Allison showed up before both men, and she grumbled, “Prepare to be shoved right back to where you belong, slave.”While Flavia growled at her and stepped forward to show Allison that she wouldn’t hesitate to smack her, I ignored her completely because she was the least of my problems right now. Although I had been trying to explain the power Allison somehow possessed, I didn’t let her words get to me.“She i

HAYLEE~~Amidst the chaos that erupted in the hall after Xalen’s announcement, Allison’s explosion was the loudest.“That can’t be. She has bewitched the King!” she exclaimed. “I am to be the next queen. I am to be his mate because I carry his child in my womb.”Allison’s exclamation didn’t fail to get reactions from the pack members who had gathered in the hall for this meeting. Once again, she was a snake, and I believed she saw Xalen’s announcement coming and was fully prepared to oppose him publicly.From where I was standing, I could hear people murmuring, “She is pregnant?”“He can’t tarnish her honor like that, even though he is the king.”“He has to marry her and make her queen.”“But the other woman is his true mate. We need a true mate to become the Queen so we can have peace in the realm.” It was only a few murmurs that were in support of me, but I didn’t let that break me.In fact, I heard someone question, “How can we be sure she is his true mate? Wasn’t Queen Laura hi

Princess Allison’s POV ~~Goddess! I was boiling with rage.But mostly drowning in the harsh sea of humiliation. That was supposed to happen differently. I shouldn’t be the one getting lashed by Haylee’s words. They felt like whips on my body, and even though I was currently far from her, I could still feel her words burning into my skin.I could feel the people’s gazes piercing through my bones, dissecting me in ways that should never happen.What has happened to me? Fuck! What is happening to me?Never have I suffered so many losses in a row. For the past few days, Haylee had been winning and kicking my ass, and I hated it! I thought everything would go my way after I tried to seduce Alpha King Xalen.I believed I had won, even though he didn’t fuck me hard like I thought.However, every decision I made after that made things worse. Every turn I took led to failure and humiliation.“That should never have happened. She was supposed to collapse before everyone. That damn bitch assu

Princess Allison’s POV~~My hands shook visibly, yet I dared not let the phone slip. I wouldn’t dare to ignore it because my back was against the wall, and no matter how cruel my dad could be, he was the only one who could help me find my way back to the right path.Or so I thought as I answered the call and put the cell phone to my ear.“What the hell have you been up to, Allison?” My dad couldn’t wait for me to find my voice before he yelled those words at me, slapping me right in the face even though he was still miles away from me.He continued impatiently, “What the hell do you think you are doing? How could you create this kind of mess? How could you humiliate me like this?”I exhaled, breathing through my mouth as I said, “What exactly have I done wrong? As far as I am concerned, you taught me everything I have done so far.”“Seriously?” My dad barked, and it took everything in me not to throw my cell phone against the nearest wall. “Did I teach you to get pregnant? Did I te
Last Updated : 2025-04-10The Alpha King's Hated Mate 180. Her True Self
ALPHA KING XALEN~~Running a pack with no elders would be harder, but I have come to realize that running an entire realm without the Elders in seat to handle issues from various packs was so much harder. The pressure increased day by day, and I wasn’t the only one bearing the brunt.Evan and Wyatt were in the same boat.Even though he had been burying himself in the population account documents, Roy was affected.Also, even though I tried to keep Haylee from the pressure, she had volunteered to handle some of the responsibilities.We hardly got to see each other these days, and even though it’s only been five days since I stripped the Elders of their power, it felt like forever.Fortunately, Haylee and I had decided that today would be a work-free day. We slept in, staying in bed even though we had been awake before daybreak. We chatted about the past five days and focused more on how well the people were accepting Haylee as their soon-to-be-crowned queen.“They can sense that you

HAYLEE~~Xalen didn’t understand me fully, and I didn’t expect him to because even I didn’t understand myself. I haven’t wrapped my head around my mother and my powers, so why should he?However, he had good advice for me, and he whispered it into my ears as his arms tightened around me, “One thing I know about power is that you can control it better when you stop trying to control it. I want to believe you are experiencing a block, Nerina. Relax and let this happen naturally, just like it did the day we made love.”That was advice that I should take seriously, but thinking about the first time Xalen and I made love sucked all seriousness out of me. My lips stretched into an uncontrollable smile, steamy memories filling my mind rapidly.And did he just call me Nerina? My smile widened even more, and I couldn’t be happier.“I am your person, Haylee. I will always be your person, so you can always talk to me about anything.” Xalen continued speaking, kissing my forehead and wrapping

Princess Allison’s POV (21)~~Time froze days ago. I lost count of the days as I rolled in my bed repeatedly. Truly, time froze until I heard a sharp knock on my door for the first time in what? A million years? I wouldn’t know.But I knew what I heard. Someone knocked, yet I couldn’t leave my bed or part my lips to respond.I was so out of control and pathetic. It killed me to admit this, but it was the truth.“Your Majesty?” The familiar voice of no one else but Benita pierced through my head, sending pain through me as she banged on the door again.Did she say, "Your Majesty?" I was no majesty. Even the biggest of all fools would know that yet Benita didn’t.“I am coming in, Your Majesty,” she announced, and I heard her open my bedroom door like she owned the place. She continued, oblivious to the fact that her voice was causing me pain, “I brought you food and drink. I can help you freshen up—”“Get out.” I found the strength to blurt those two words to one of the people who ru

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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 216. Mine, Forever
ALPHA KING XALEN~~I knew I should resist her because I had meetings scheduled but I could hear my wolf saying, “Fuck the meeting and the elders,” in my mind. I knew I should fight the urge to slam into her this minute and at least get her to the bedroom, but I couldn't.She was irritable.And even though she acted innocent, she knew I couldn't resist her. The best part of having a bond with Haylee was that I felt the same. Every feeling was mutual—Gosh, I shouldn't call her Haylee anymore. That name seemed to bring nothing but pain, trauma, and disappointment. Hearing her father and sister refer to her as Haylee and Hay made me realize that each time I called her by that name, I was reminding her of everything she should forget.I didn't want that for her. And since everyone seemed to call her Hay—even though she was the Hay to my Xay—I knew I had to come up with a better pet name for her—one that would be special to us.“Time is ticking, King Xalen,” Haylee moaned, trembling wi
