ALPHA KING XALEN

~<>~

I still haven't gotten over the emotions from yesterday.

The anger Allison called out of me. The worry and guilt Haylee poured into me. Plus the hunger I had to resist during the moment Haylee and I shared last night. Although she didn’t seem to notice, controlling my hunger around her was becoming harder.

This explains the jealousy I felt when I saw her walk in with Jose, Allison’s guard—that reminds me! I need to tell Wyatt to find out who Jose was and how he got to know Haylee. I quickly sent a message to my Gamma, asking him to see me at my main office, where I would be going today, to avoid anymore drama from Allison and unwanted feelings from Haylee.

Despite these demanding feelings, I got out of bed and joined my kids in the dining hall. As soon as I entered the hall, Sophia grumbled, “Why is breakfast not here yet? I’m starving."

Haylee’s voice hit my eardrums, and I was this close to letting out a deep possessive growl, “I can make something for you,

    HAYLEE~~As I rushed after Princess Sophia and Prince Asher with their little sister in my arms, I asked myself why anyone in their right mind would be hellbent on making kids as young as five and three years old sad. What is she driving at?What point is she trying to make? “The same point Dad and Kaylee had been trying to make all our lives,” Liya said to me. My wolf’s response made me realize that people like my dad, Kaylee, and Princess Allison really have reasons to be who they are. My dad claimed he was harsh with me because I was a replica of my mom, but that wasn't enough to abuse any child. Kaylee claimed the reason she hated me was because I stole her life, her mate, and everything from her, but I never did, and even if I did, it wasn’t enough reason for her to give me into slavery and wish me death. After all, she took everything from me, and I still don’t wish her death. In Princess Allison’s case, the desire to be Queen has blinded her enough to kill any sense of h

    Princess Allison’s POV~~No reactions?Not even a single one from any of them?Yes, Sophia failed me first, but never in a thousand worlds had I imagined that Alpha King Xalen would also fail me. Or was my intention to wipe out their precious mom and beloved mate wasn’t clear enough? Was I not doing enough?Could I be losing my touch already? Hell, I just got here for goddess’s sake!“Relax, Allie. We aren’t losing touch.” Nala said into my mind, more like seethed. “This shows that we must go lower to get his attention.” “How low are you talking about?” I asked my wolf as I slammed the door to my bedroom. “Do you remember what Dad said before we left home? Nala asked me. I nodded instantly. “He said we have an ally within this pack. Someone close to the Alpha King and that this ally has enough to break Alpha King Xalen’s strong spirit.”“Exactly.” Nala chimed in response. “I believe it’s time we reach out to this ally.”Although my wolf was smart, I couldn’t agree with her at t

    HAYLEE~~I was wrong to think the change in my title wouldn’t change my routine. I mean, I have become the talk of the pack, but also people approach me now. Just yesterday, I was walking around the palace with Princess Sophia and baby Jodie when a group of servants who walked past us greeted not just the princesses but me as well.They acknowledge my presence.“I hadn't noticed how much our scent changed when we were demoted by Alpha Jett, until the promtion from Alpha King Xalen,” Liya said to me, enjoying every bit of this new attention even though I knew I would soon shy away from them.I had just put Princess Jodie to bed for her afternoon nap. Prince Asher was also taking a nap, and Princess Sophia was somewhere in the palace, doing goddess knows what. I would have gone in search of the Princess if I hadn’t planned to get food from the palace kitchen, eat, and take a nap right after.However, my plan was interrupted when Benita and two other servants walked into the kitchen j

    ALPHA PRINCE XALEN~~I could hear the servants’ party from my office, which was in the middle of the pack, but I didn’t move to stop them like I would have done before Laura stepped into my life. Laura made me realize that the servants deserve a lot more than just paying their salaries, which is why they could have a party once every two months. However, I still couldn’t wrap my head around why they would have the party as planned even though they were meant to be mourning their late Queen. After everything Laura had done for them? “Ungrateful bastards.” Even Theo was mad, and my wolf didn’t hesitate to seeth those words in my mind.“I guess that’s how it is with death. Once you die, no one gives a shit about you, and everyone tends to move on.” I responded to my wolf trying so hard not to drop the papers in my hands and storm to the party’s venue.“Everyone sure has moved on, Xalen,” Theo muttered sadly. I sighed, “Everyone but me.” “Xalen–” Theo finally understood the message

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~ For a minute there, I froze, rage bubbling within me as I glared at no one else but Jose, who was still standing there like he was determined to challenge me. If I recall correctly, this was the second time he would stand against me like this. I would earn the title ‘fool of the century’ if I actually believed that he was like this only because he was Alpha Richard’s person. There has to be more to this guy. And I honestly couldn’t wait for Wyatt to get answers. I wanted them now. “Who are you?” I growled, my voice low but loud enough to communicate my anger to the man whose scent had polluted Haylee’s sweet and fresh scent. “I don’t care who he is, Xalen! Just kill him this instant.” Theo barked impatiently. But I needed answers. Jose exhaled shakily. His fear was teasing my nostrils even though he tried to mask his scent. “I’m Jose, Princess Allison’s guard.” “You know damn well that isn’t the answer I need from you!” I snapped, and Haylee jumped away

    HAYLEE~~ The sun has been piercing through the tiny curtains, probing my eyelids as if demanding I wake up and face the aftermath of last night, but I didn’t leave my bed, nor did I think of last night as I fell deeper into the endless pit of sleep.But I was yanked out of that pit by a familiar voice that sounded so far away at first: “Wake up, Haylee.”Groaning into the pillows as my head reacted to the voice by threatening to spill into unfixable pieces, I buried my face deeper, trying to drown out the urgency in the voice and hoping that I would be left alone.“You have to get up,” came the voice again.“Let me be, Kaylee.” I groaned again, muttering the wrong name even though I knew the voice wasn’t Kaylee’s. At least I knew subconsciously.“It’s Benita, Haylee.” The voice rang through my aching head again, pulling me closer to the conscious world. “You might be the royal help now, but you still have duties. Princess Jodie will be up any second, and you know she won’t let any

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~ I was slowly losing my mind.I could feel heat all over my body as I paced in my room, hating that this was happening now. This had been going on since last night.“Just breathe, Allie. Please. Your emotions are overwhelming. You know what happens when I get overwhelmed,” Nala said to me.“I'm trying,” I said to my wolf, inhaling deeply and exhaling through my mouth to calm myself.Thankfully, the knock I had been expecting echoed through my room, distracting me from the unraveling emotions within me.“Come in,” I uttered, taking another deep breath.The servant I had made my handmaiden, Julia, walked into my room with the Royal Help right behind her. As expected, she, the so-called Royal Help, came with the youngest princess in her arms.This should be a good distraction.“Leave us, Julia,” I said to my handmaiden, who still wasn’t as good as the one I had back home.Nothing was as good as what I had back home, and if I were home, I wouldn’t be feeling l

    HAYLEE~~Although I was relieved as I stepped out of Princess Allison’s room, my anxiety increased tenfold when I saw Jose walking towards me with a blank face that meant he was angry. I thought he was mad at me, but to my surprise, he walked past me without saying a word and entered Princess Allison’s room without knocking.I didn’t know what to think of that, but I did consider waiting outside Princess Allison’s room for Jose so I would be able to ask him if he was the one who took me to my room last night. I thought I needed to get answers before I faced the Alpha King, whom I would be seeing during breakfast, which was only a few minutes away.However, I walked down the hallway as Princess Jodie began to squirm in my arms.“Aww, look who is hungry." I cooed to the little princess, making funny sounds to her so she wouldn’t burst into tears before we got to the kitchen, where her bottle and milk were.I fed Princess Jodie before Prince Asher walked into the kitchen, ready to have

    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 quip

    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

    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

    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

    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
