“Look at me, Haylee. Please,” Alfred pleaded, and I met his gaze. Even though I was certain that my eyes were reflecting my rage, he smiled at me and added, “You have to look at me to see my heart and hear my soul.”

How I wanted to give him a snarky response and tell him he never heard my soul nor saw my heart when I needed him to, but since I was dying to know more about Aradia, I held back my comment and held Alfred's gaze.

“I met your mom during one of the biannual galas that Alphas used to have to solidify the bond among all the packs, and the connection I had with her was instant. It was almost as if I found my destined mate for the second time—”

“Almost?” I snickered, hating that he wasn’t being completely straight with me.

“I already had a mate, Haylee. I couldn’t explain how I could feel another mate bond with a different woman, and I still can’t. So yes, almost, but that doesn’t make what I felt less real,” Alfred answered, clarifying why he chose to use that part

Haylee has a heart that bleeds for everyone, even though they have hurt her in the past. Even though we try to hide it, most of us are like this and the world calls us people pleasers without knowing how detrimental it can be. To all 'people pleasers' out there, I hope we get to find a balance for the sake of our peace. I hope we get to choose ourselves first without feeling guilty or selfish. I hope that someday, we will find true peace. Love always, Kiki.

    HAYLEE~~“I’m pregnant with your child, Alpha Jett.” The world as I knew it froze at that moment. My eyes widened and my breaths became shallow as shock and undefinable emotions coursed through my body, replacing the initial excitement and hope that I was feeling.This can’t be h-hapening… This should never happen. Those words shouldn’t be coming out of my sister’s mouth… her eyes shouldn’t be glinting like that for goddess’s sake!She was my twin sister and–“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Alpha Jett’s voice cut through the thick layer of my thoughts.If I weren’t looking at his face, I would think he was mad about my twin sister’s announcement but the twinkle in his eyes. He was happy. My twin sister just announced that she was carrying his child before everyone in the pack during a party meant to celebrate my nineteenth birthday… A party I believed would be used to crown me Luna of Cresent Moon Pack because a year ago, on my eighteenth birthday, I discovered that Alpha Jett was

    HAYLEE~~I was ripped off Kaylee by the familiar coarse hands that had shown me to the door of hell many times in the past– my father’s hands. For the first time, I cried to the father in the beast he had willingly shown me over the years. I stupidly thought he would take my side for the first time. A girl could wish, right? So I cried, “Dad, you can’t let her do this. You can’t just stand there and watch Kaylee snatch my mate–” But my statement was interrupted when his palm settled over my cheek like thunder. He slapped me and I tasted blood in my mouth as my father yelled in my wet face, “How dare you attack your sister! How dare you lay your hands on her? The Alpha has chosen a mate and it’s not you even though the moon goddess thought someone as plain as you could be Cresent Moon Pack’s Luna. That was a mistake on her path and we have corrected her mistake.” No, the only mistake here was having him as a father. The only mistake was picking to look like my heartless mother wh

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I don't know.I don't know how to exist in a world where my mate doesn't. A world without my Laura. I have spent the last five days beside her motionless body and even in that state she managed to look beautiful. She managed to capture my heart like we were teenagers again. How I wished she would open her eyes and tell me, “It’s a joke, Xalen. How can I die and leave you and the kids?” But today, I had to put her to rest. I had to bury her according to tradition so she could find peace in the afterlife. My heart was heavier than my bulky body and breathing felt like a crime because Laura wasn’t breathing. She was six feet under the ground we used to walk as the King and Queen of the werewolf realm–“Come forward and present your gifts.” My trusted Beta, Evan, voiced, calling on the visiting Alphas and leaders of the numerous packs under my jurisdiction.The funeral has ended as far as I was concerned. I had buried Luara and I don’t understand why these people

    HAYLEE~~Fuck me!What the fuck was I thinking? No. I didn’t think when I heard that little child crying.My stupid brain just reacted to her and as I have always done with kids, I reached for her and offered comfort because no one offered that to me when I was growing up with an abusive father and a mean sister.And now that I was standing before the Alpha King, my heart was about to beat its way out of my chest. My body shook with fear as cold shivers traveled down my spine. There was something about his dark eyes that–“Don’t make me repeat myself?” His voice was cold, laced with anger that no one deserves, not even a criminal.I took my eyes off him, fighting the uneasiness my wolf was feeding my mind with. I said slowly, “I’m Haylee from–’ “Silence!” He snapped at me, causing me to jump away from him. If my mind wasn't shaky at the moment, I would have wondered why he asked me a question only to shut me up when I gathered enough courage to respond. However, I could only thin

    HAYLEE~~“How dare you!” the hostile voice pierced my eardrums before an icy feeling cut through my skin, sending shivers down my spine. My eyes flew open and I jolted to my feet even though my brain wasn’t fully awake. I wobbled, my body shivering as I felt another icy feeling. I was drenched. I was soaked. Yet, I couldn’t scream as my eyes met with Owen’s angry ones. “How dare you fall asleep, Slave?” Owen, the head of servants in the Royal Pack, snarled at me.He was holding two black buckets whose content he just poured all over me. My hair and the dark brown dress I was given three days ago were dripping. The chilly air of the night wasn’t helping my case– everything was against me.“I d-doze—” I tried to speak but my teeth chattered and I instinctively wrapped my arms around my body, “You dozed?” Owen hissed. Ever since the Alpha King stopped me from leaving the hall three days ago, my life has changed drastically. One would think the Alpha King who didn’t hide his hatred

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“Really?” I barked.Anger built up within me as the hope I was holding on to seemed to be fading every second. I had so many people around me yet I felt so alone. I once had a plan for my life and future but now? Now I was lost with no hope of finding my way. Perhaps if Laura comes back to life. She was my compass– My moral and geographical compass. “We have searched and did everything we can, My King but there’s no evidence that the Queen was murdered.” My Royal Gamma, Wyatt, repeated as he fell on his knees before my throne. “Then have the trackers tear everything down,” I growled, barely keeping my ass on my throne.Wyatt was too scared to open his mouth so Evan stepped in and said to me, “The trackers did everything, My King. The Healers also testified that they found nothing toxic in her body. It’s a natural death–” “Don’t even tell me that!” I cut my Royal Beta off. “How can that be a natural death? She gave birth to Jodie without complications and two

    HAYLEE~~I was drained of every bit of energy. Yet I was still standing in the kitchen where I had been since I woke up in the wee hours of this morning. I barely slept for three hours before I got up to prep for the warriors’ breakfast. It’s like preparing a meal for every member of the Crescent Moon Pack. After preparing breakfast with little to no help from the servants who used to do these chores before I was brought into the pack as a slave, I started preparing lunch for the chiefs of the pack because they would be having a meeting in a few hours and Owen had started talking about all I had to do for the Royal Family dinner. My sight was foggy, my throat was dry and the worms in my stomach were biting me, crying to be fed. However, despite having different dishes around me, I wasn’t allowed to eat any. Owen would kill me.“Just serve yourself a plate, Haylee. We need the strength. We need to sleep.” Liya cried into my mind. The last time I shifted and let Liya have a meal o

    HAYLEE~~I didn’t know which one I paid more attention to with every second that passed without a word from the Alpha King– Owen’s shaky frame or the lips that kept parting only to close again like their owner couldn’t make up his mind. “I was ju-just correcting the Slave, My King. She was dis-disrespectful and stole–” If I was going to die, I would rather die a criminal who touched the King’s child and had the audacity to appear before him as his second chance’s mate at his beloved Queen’s funeral, than be called a thief for eating one spoon of rice. With that thought in mind, I cut Owen off, sounding more confident for some weird reason and despite the Alpha King’s presence, “I didn’t steal. I haven’t eaten in three days, My King and I know I’m a slave but I need food just like everyone else. I need food and sleep to function and I haven’t been having enough. If you want me dead, chop off my head or throw me to the rogues but please do not treat me like I’m lesser than–” “Shus

    HAYLEE~~"Hey, Haylee."My dad greeted me as if we were on good terms, as if we had a great father-daughter relationship.Shakily, I breathed, "Hey.""I’m glad you finally decided to have a talk with me," Alfred muttered as I made my way to the edge of Flavia’s old bed.I stared at the faded fabric on the old bed, unable to meet Alfred’s gaze. His tone was casual—too casual—and the weight of his words pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I didn’t expect my chest to tighten each time I met his gaze.But still, I had to. I clenched my jaw, fighting the urge to shrink back, to show him cracks in my armor. It wouldn’t be in my best interest to falter now, especially with Kaylee’s words echoing in my mind."It has to be done, right?" I blinked, trying to steady my trembling hands."Right," Alfred responded, his eyes lingering on me a moment longer than necessary. A hint of a smile tugged at his lips, but his words cut through the tension in the room. "Ask away. Hit me wi

    HAYLEE~~It’s another day without talking to or meeting with Aradia in my sleep. Although the previous day was fun because I finally got the pack’s acceptance and spent the day with my family, I still had a hole in my heart.A hole that only Aradia could fill, but I couldn’t reach her, just like last time.“Do you think she is in danger?” Liya queried as I moved through the corridors with Xalen, whose smile hadn’t fallen since yesterday morning. “She once said she is waiting for us to get stronger and save her. Do you think we are already too late?”“I hope not,” I whispered to my wolf before smiling at Xalen.I was happy, but my happiness couldn’t compare to Xalen’s. He was over the moon, and after all the reassurance he had gladly given me yesterday, I couldn’t let him know that I was worried about something else again.So, yes, I had to smile.“Do you want me to come with you to meet Alfred? We can use my home office to meet him.” My overjoyed mate asked me, gazing at me affectio

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~“Oh, you agree, don’t you?” Fake Jose chided after having a good laugh. “Whereas, you were in love with him and still love the idea of having him as your mate, right?”He was speaking about Jose, the man he killed. Clearly. I hadn’t admitted this to myself until now. I fell for Jose, the real him. Gosh, the way he used to look at me after he became my personal guard. He was a passionate man. I should have known he was gone when he came back to me and accepted being my sexual plaything.Because the real him wouldn’t do that. I knew little about him, yes, but even that little was more than enough to make me fall for him…. Or did I fall for Jose after he was killed and his appearance became a mask for someone else? Did I fall for the man behind the mask?Instead of confirming or rejecting Fake Jose’s assumption, I muttered, “I am not ill-luck. You failed because Alpha King Xalen outsmarted you. You have never truly beaten him. Hell, you can’t beat him.”I w

    Princess Allison’s POV~~My reality began to set in when I realized that the person who rescued me from the angry pack members was none other than fake Jose. It was convenient for him to do that since he was posing as my guard.I snatched my hand out of his grasp when I finally realized that all of this was happening because of him. We were standing very close to the abandoned building where our baby was most likely conceived.I didn’t care to check if anyone was around, since I knew he wouldn’t bring me here unless he were certain it was safe for us to speak.“What?” Fake Jose queried, staring at me with eyes that infuriated me. I pushed past the pain and humiliation when he added, “Would you rather stand in the middle of the street with an angry crowd? Would you rather get killed?”“Can you see what you have done!” I snapped, swatting tears off my face angrily. “This is all your fault!”“Huh?” he feigned ignorance. “It’s my fault you decided to walk into the pack's heart a few hou

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~If I saw the nightmare having breakfast with the family, I desired to be a part of it, even though every member of that family hated me; I ignored her.Haylee had proven to be my nightmare. The wall I stumbled upon each time I found a way to get myself out of the mess my life had become. Sadly, Haylee had remained a constant, and I didn’t see how I would get rid of her.Not anymore.I have tried killing her. I tried framing her. I tried making everyone hate her. Heck! What more was I supposed to do?“Why is she so indestructible? Who the hell is she?” Nala growled within me as I stormed out of the palace, eyes searching the compound and nose inhaling the air to find the bastard that renewed my hope.He should have left me to rot in defeat or at least let me figure this out on my own instead of using his silly tricks. Silly, futile tricks!“This is getting out of hand, Nala.” I whimpered to my wolf, walking aimlessly around the pack after I exited the palac

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~I wasn’t there, but I heard the celebration. It was earthshaking, so who in the pack wouldn’t hear or feel it? Even though I didn’t join the celebration, the rumors of what led to such happiness reached me within the next hour. Since Benita was dead, I have been assigned another servant, even though I wasn’t welcomed in the palace. No one made me feel welcome, but I didn’t care because I trusted fake Jose’s plan to work just fine. I mean, it has been working for the past week. I thought nothing could change the outcome until my new servant came to my bedroom with breakfast. “What’s the noise about, Orla?” I asked the sweet girl who had replaced Benita. Although she was no Benita, she had been serving me with respect since she became my servant.“There’s no noise, Princess Allison,” Orla answered, staring straight into my eyes for the first time since she started serving me. My brows furrowed as I took the tray of food from her. I clarified my question,

    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

    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 quipp
