The Alpha King's Hated Mate 22. Iron Rod
ALPHA KING XALEN~~I had to go for a run.As soon as I sensed Alpha Richard’s presence in my Pack, I had to go for a run and burn some steam. I didn’t tell anyone where I was going but I assumed they would know.I didn’t waste much time before I returned home where I knew Alpha Richard and my uncle would be waiting for me. I also knew that Alpha Richard would be burning with anger as I didn’t respect him enough to receive him myself but who cares what a greedy man like him thinks? This was my chance to make him understand that even though I had agreed to meet him, I was still in charge. “Can you feel that?” Theo asked me as I pushed the front door of my home open, stepping into the living room and shifting my gaze from Alpha Richard to the other people he came with. “What now, Theo?” I asked my wolf even though I knew what he was calling my attention to. It was the feeling… The feeling that had been constant within me since I tied the salve’s consciousness to mine so I could s
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-22The Alpha King's Hated Mate 23. Alpha King's Heart
HAYLEE~~“Enough!” I saw that coming from the second the late Queen was mentioned, but surprisingly, Alpha King Xalen didn’t lash out until the visiting Alpha dropped the bomb. The earth shook underneath my feet, or maybe I was the one who shook as the King’s anger spread through the room, hitting us all.“How dare you?” Alpha King Xalen snarled. “How dare you come to my pack... to my home and suggest your daughter replace my Laura?”Even the moon goddess couldn’t replace the late Queen in the Alpha King’s heart. To save myself from the hell I knew the Alpha King was about to invoke on the visiting Alpha, I stepped backward. My eyes lingered on Jodie, who was still in his arms, and I considered saving the baby as well, but before I could act on that thought, the visiting Alpha responded, a little shaky but quite confidently, “She is not replacing the late Queen, Alpha King. She will be the next Queen, joining the two Royal Families together and ending the strive between—” “I sai

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Damn!” I gritted, growling continuously as I began to pace before the desk in my office. The kind of anger coursing through me was one that consumed me. I was blinded by this rage. Each breath I took was rage. Each one I exhaled was rageful. I was shaking with rage, and knowing that my hands had been tied did nothing to reduce this rage.“My King–” Uncle Calvin tried to speak. But I seethed, barely stopping myself from throwing the desk at him, “Don’t even dare utter a word!” "In this dire situation, you know I can not just keep quiet—" Oh, I knew that, but that didn’t stop me from storming over to him. I shut him up with one glare and hiss in his face. “What is it that you have to say? You should have figured out the details of his proposal. You should have done research before letting me see him. Damn! I should have been prepared.”Alpha Richard and his daughter won this round. They knew that too well when they left my home with the intention of calling fo
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-24The Alpha King's Hated Mate 25. Mean Princess
HAYLEE~~The beginning of my second month in the palace as the Alpha King’s slave and nanny to his kids also marked the beginning of change. The change began the very day Princess Allison was moved into the palace, much to the Alpha King’s dismay. I had never seen him so defeated, angry, and full of hate.Do I pity him? Hell no!He had used his powers against me in the past and is still using them to keep me captive in a bond we both clearly didn’t want, and seeing him defeated kind of made me feel happy. I mean, the playing field has been leveled. “Be careful with that. I don’t want a scratch on it.” Princess Allison ordered the warriors that were moving her valuables into the palace. From the look of things and the number of properties that she came with, it seemed as if she was here to stay. Now that didn’t make me happy. That made my chest constrict.“He took her in as a prospective mate? They are practically engaged to marry in three months.” Liya snarled within me. Everyo

HAYLEE~~“What do you think you are doing?” Princess Allison’s icy voice stopped me dead in my tracks as I took Princess Sophia’s hand, hoping to take her away from the toxic scene. I summoned the courage needed to look into the mean Princess’s eyes and answered with a steady voice despite the lies I was about to tell, “Taking the Princess to her room, My Lady. It’s time for her nap–” Though I had grown accustomed to physical abuse, the sharp pain that sliced through me as Princess Allison’s soft palm struck my cheek was still jarring. Her hand may have been delicate, but the slap was anything but gentle.“I’m your Queen, not your Lady. I’m royalty, and you will treat and refer to me as you do the King. Do I make myself clear?” She shouted in my face. Princess Sophia whimpered and hid herself behind me, acting like a terrified child for the first time since I met her.I didn’t hesitate to nod. In cases like this, I have learned to just give Caesar whatever he—or, in this case, s
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-27The Alpha King's Hated Mate 27. The Better Choice
ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I hate you, and I’ll never forgive you for replacing Mom!”Sophia was everything but stupid, and I knew she could sense the changes in our home even though I had made sure no one informed her about the kind of relationship Allison and I were supposed to have.I made sure everyone in the pack kept their mouths shut to keep my children, especially Sophia, safe. Asher and Jodie were still too young to understand the change, but even though Sophia was very young as well, she was as smart as her mother and brave as her father.I didn’t miss the way Haylee ran after Sophia. “She has a good heart, and she cares about our kids despite how badly you have treated her,” Theo called me out, feeling just as weary as I had been feeling. I knew this day would come—the day Allison moved into my home, and despite how hard I tried to act indifferent, the current situation was affecting me–“Just tell them we already have a mate. This will save us from Alpha Richard's trap! We
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-28The Alpha King's Hated Mate 28. The Spirit Realm
HAYLEE~~Princess Sophia and I just sat there in the kids' garden within the palace’s compound, where they have swings, a trampoline, and other fun items. But rather than have fun, we simply sat there on one of the benches, staring at space for the longest time until Princess Sophia let out, her eyes glued to the floor, “She hit you because of me. Why did you try to get me away from here when you are just a slave?” Her curiosity was louder than her voice, and I had to search deep within me for the right words so I wouldn’t hurt her any more than Princess Allison had. I sighed, “I saw you struggling and I knew what that feeling–”“I wasn’t struggling!” She snapped, her eyes flying to my face, as she tried to act strong. I smiled slowly, looking at the young Princess’s eyes, which told more than she was expressing. “You know it’s okay to struggle every now and then, Princess Sophia. Even adults struggle, and we shouldn’t bottle up our feelings.” She responded defensively but with

HAYLEE~~Tears welled up in my eyes as I exclaimed, "Leo.” Without hesitation, I threw myself into his arms, not minding the small fact that this corner was way too small to maneuver freely, but it was perfect for a long hug. I could hold him forever. Leo inhaled deeply as his hands wrapped around me, holding me tightly as he muttered, “Haylee…” His voice did the trick of assuring me that truly, this man was Leo and that he wasn’t mad at me. Also, I could hear how much he missed me just by listening to him say my name, and that broke the dam.I sobbed into his shirt, rubbing my face in his chest like I always do, and just like always, he allowed me and hushed me gently. “Hey, it’s okay, Haylee,” Leo murmured, patting my back as he carefully placed his chin over my head. I spluttered, “No, it’s not okay. I thought you were dead, Leo. I thought I would never see you again.” I pulled back a bit just to look at his face. Leo smiled at me, wiping my tears, but his effort was fruitl

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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 215. Dangerously Tempting
HAYLEE~~For the next two days, I didn't see Kaylee and Alfred. I believed Flavia had something to do with that, as she won't stop grumbling about how I was too kind, even though I explained why I had to let them stay.I have also stopped hiding out in different rooms just to avoid Allison, the servant of the pack members. I have come to realize that I wasn't doing myself any good by hiding.Within these two days, I have been training physically with Xalen, training spiritually with Gladys, and sometimes with Flavia when she takes a break from making Kaylee's life hell. I have also informed Gladys and Flavia about the paragraph that stood out to me, and they both promised to reach out to healers in other packs and find out what they knew about the prophecy.It's been two days of improvement, and even Xalen confirmed it when I delivered another solid punch to his jaw. His groan resonated through the private training room where we had been for hours.“Someone is getting better and fe
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 214. Pit of Dread
HAYLEE~~Have you ever been hurt by the same people who should love you? Betrayed by a family member or abused? If you have, then you will understand all that came with my dad tendering a heartfelt apology to me after almost twenty years of torture and trauma.It was a bittersweet moment.My world flipped, and the harsh foundation shifted, leaving me confused for a moment. After all, this wasn’t normal. The man who had broken my bones more than I could count on both hands was standing right in front of me, staring at me with eyes that pierced through my mask, going straight for my wounded soul.“I really am sorry, Haylee. This won’t change what I have done, but I want you to know that I was wrong and you didn’t deserve a scumbag like me,” he uttered, adding more salt to the open wound his apology had placed right in the center of my soul.Now, how do I respond to this? I couldn’t accept the apology because I wasn’t ready to forgive him, but I also couldn’t reject it because my dama
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 213. On Your Soul
ALPHA KING XALEN~~If I could hear the commotion from my office, then it was a big one.I swiftly dismissed the ten elders who had reached out privately, their loyalty hanging in the air like fragile glass. I motioned for Wyatt to take them out through the secret tunnels—quietly and unseen. Roy and I exchanged a quick glance, then moved to leave my office.At first, I thought Allison was causing trouble again—her name already forming in my mind. Or maybe one of my furious pack members. My fists clenched, and my eyes burned with rage. I was ready—the urge to rip whoever disrespected Haylee apart simmering just beneath my skin.Upon stepping into the living room, I noticed the unfamiliar scents. Those scents stood out to me because they didn’t carry the musk of the royal pack, yet they were still recognizable somehow. By the time I made it to where Haylee was standing with a rageful Flavia, I realized that the strange scents belonged to two members of Alpha Jett’s pack.In fact, the
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 212. Hey, Dear Sister
HAYLEE~~“They claim to be your family.”Those words continued to echo in my mind even though my body had frozen. My chest felt heavier, and time seemed to stop existing, even though I could hear the clocks in my head ticking rapidly.I shouldn’t be surprised, yeah?I mean, Aradia already told me that I would get guests from my past, and what other past do I have apart from the one I shared with Kaylee, our dad, Alpha Jett, and members of my supposed birth pack?“What do you want me to do?” Flavia’s voice pierced through my flooded mind.Blinking rapidly, I looked at her, realizing her eyes were filled with worry for the first time since she stepped into the bedroom. I cleared my throat as I whispered, “How many of them?”“Two,” Flavia answered.It was no secret that I had been given into slavery by my own family. The entire pack witnessed that during the funeral that brought Xalen and me together. Flavia had to know that, too.I sat on the bed for a few minutes, weighing my option
