ALPHA KING XALEN

~<>~

For Haylee, I was ready to go all the way.

For the woman who had helped me understand life better and given rhythm to my once-dead heart, I was more than ready to perform every ritual across every culture just to make her the happiest woman alive… and make her mine for the rest of our lives.

However, Roy seemed to have caught the flu, which changed my brain chemistry. The love flu, and he had decided to compete with me. Not necessarily a competition, but I would like to think it was because it made everything we had been up to all day more fun.

And I could use some fun in my life, knowing this was the calm before the storm.

As we stepped into the palace, Roy’s voice echoed in my mind, breaking through my thoughts, soft and earnest, as he begged to be the first to propose, just like the humans. “If you go first, Flavia’s hurt will grow, and I don’t want that.”

Clearly, he wanted to make up for what happened with his mate earlier this morning.

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   327. Sack of Death

    HAYLEE~~“I am waiting for you. Sophia, Asher, and Jodie are waiting.”“Flavia is waiting.”I heard them. I could hear them loud and clear even though I felt like I was trapped in an enclosed place with no oxygen. My throat was burning, and while I unconsciously expected my heart to ache, I couldn’t feel it.It felt like I was trapped in the sack of death with no air to bring me back to life, yet I could hear those words and feel the desperation in them. I tried to reach for the light that came through with those words, but I couldn’t move.I was trapped. Trapped in the dark, tight sack of death.Until I heard these words, “Hey, Big sis. It’s me, Lexie.”Instantly, I felt relieved. One would think that would come from hearing my mate’s voice, but no. It was Lexie’s voice that freed me from that sketch. I felt this strange heaviness getting lifted off my mind and soul.It was a cloud, yet it was heavy… like fear, and I didn’t understand why I would be scared in that moment until I f

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   326. Haylee's Broken Heart

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~She was getting cold.My mate, the woman I love. The woman who healed my soul and made my life so much better than the mess she met when she came into it. The woman—that woman was getting colder by the second.Goddess, my heart was beating rapidly yet still at the same time.I have lost all sense of time since Haylee and I collapsed earlier, but while I regained consciousness just as Gladys announced that the Crimson ritual was over and the Crimson curse was broken, Haylee remained unconscious, lifeless, and cold.Haylee was still in my arms. I couldn’t bear to let her go, even though the Red wolves had tried to peel my arms off her. They gave up when they realized that I would lose my mind if they separated my mate and me.“When is she going to wake up?” I breathed, questioning Aradia, whose face had paled like that of a ghost.Hell, she was paler than Haylee.Aradia’s eyes fell on the red wolves that had surrounded Haylee and me before she said, “Soon, King Xal

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   325. Alpha Prince Roy’s POV (13)

    Alpha Prince Roy’s POV~~With Lexie’s back to us, Wyatt and I couldn’t see what she was doing as she stood over Richard’s frame, but we were so damn sure that she was untying him, and we were ready to take them both down.“Seriously? After everything Haylee has trusted you with?” I barked at her, finally letting my feelings get the best of me. “For goddess’s sake! We all trusted and accepted you into our lives.”Lexie tensed up as if she wasn’t expecting to hear my voice. Before she could turn around, Wyatt stormed over to where she was standing, yanking her away from Richard’s body, which none of us paid attention to.“It’s not what you think! Just let me go!” Lexie screamed, but Wyatt was too pissed to listen to her.She didn’t let that stop her, though; she continued screaming and kicking against Wyatt, who was way stronger than her and the warriors she had knocked out to get here. “Let me finish what I have started. Let me do this for my sister! Let me do this for my mom! I’m b

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   324. Princess Allison’s POV (41)

    Princess Allison’s POV~~One minute I was chasing after Lexie, hoping to stop her before she could make it to our dad’s cell. I didn’t know what I was thinking. I mean, I have seen her knock out more than fifteen prison guards, both male and female, yet I thought it was wise to keep following her.I honestly believed I could stop her on my own and take accolades… and, of course, gain Xalen and Haylee’s mercy.One minute I was so damn sure that I was making the right decision and didn’t realize just how stupid I was acting. Not only had I lost my strengths, but I had also lost the powers I once had and used to make people do my bidding.One minute I was certain, but the next, I was on the damn floor, unable to move as pain sliced through my back and stomach.“Oh, no,” I cried out the moment the realization sank in.My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the floor, a scream tearing from my throat. I instinctively rolled onto my side, desperately trying to undo whatever damage I fear

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   323.Alpha Prince Roy’s POV (12)

    Alpha Prince Roy’s POV~~At first, I thought I was overreacting and overly alert because I was bent on protecting Xalen and Haylee, as they would be vulnerable within the next hour.When I saw Lexie slipping away, despite her promise to Haylee to stay put and step in if necessary, I initially felt foolish. I believed it was the initial suspicion I harbored when she arrived over a month ago that was dulling my judgment.But then Jax nudged me to pursue her, especially when I realized someone else was trailing behind her. My mom chirped, “It’s never a good sign when someone who was once a suspect makes such a move.”I heeded my wolf’s warnings and went after Lexie and the vile frame that was discreetly trailing her, after I told Flavia that I would be right back. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that the person following Lexie was none other than Allison.It was at this point that I thought to involve Wyatt in whatever this was, but since I haven’t caught the two sisters doin

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   322. Into the Void

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~I would be a fool to think the next few hours wouldn’t be dangerous as hell. Yes, Richard was in captivity, begging for death, but I knew better than to let my guard down. That’s why Wyatt had been instructed to keep his eyes open and ears sharp.“When Haylee’s heart stops, I will be vulnerable, Wyatt. I need you to stay alert,” I said to my Gamma as I watched Hyakee step onto the podium in the center of the hall.My Gamma responded immediately and began instructing the warriors to take up different positions around the hall and to secure the borders of the pack. My heart was pounding like crazy with every second that passed—not because of the imminent danger, but because I was painfully aware of the weight of this ritual.Gosh, I just wanted to hide somewhere until it was over.“We can’t do that. We have to be beside her,” Theo grumbled inside my mind, even though I knew he felt the same way.I looked to my right and saw Roy, who was already staring at me. My co
