~<>~

From the rumors flying around, Alpha King Xalen had a long day—long enough to take his mind off punishing the servants for throwing a party. Or so I have heard. However, I believed I had a longer day because I had been juggling through my fuzzy mind, trying to remember what went down last night, especially between the Alpha King and me.

Thinking and having to take care of the kids all by myself didn’t go well together, as the kids needed my full attention.

I had been with the kids all day, and now Alpha King Xalen was standing in the living room where I had been with the kids and some man Princess Sophia had introduced as her uncle. I also saw the striking resemblance between the Royal Advisor and the unfamiliar man, but I still couldn’t leave the kids alone with him.

This is why Alpha King Xalen walked in and found me in the living room.

“There’s tension,” Liya muttered into my mind after Alpha King Xalen and Roy entered. “Definitely bad blood between the cousins.”

Oh, I s

I have a feeling that Laura is NOT dead. I also have a feeling his uncle and cousin have something to do with it, if I am correct.

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   316. Prophesied Death

    HAYLEE~~I didn’t notice my mate’s absence until the next afternoon. Yes, I was that interested in everything Lexie had to say, which was a lot.If I were interested in writing, I would have written more than three books from Lexie’s tales, even though she was just sixteen years old. The only time she stopped talking was when we all fell asleep, and when I say all, I mean Lexie, Aradia, and me.We all spent the night in Aradia’s suite… on the same bed.Although I remember saying goodnight to Roy and Flavia when they left the suite last night, not once did I think about the fact that the kids were alone at home because I believed Xalen was with them.That belief remained until Sophia and Asher ran into the suite that afternoon, yelling, “You left us alone in that big house!”The accusation in their voices was sharp, and so was the hot glare they fixed on the center of my face. I was snapped out of the moment I was having with Lexie and our mom when I heard the familiar voice, and th

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   315. Blessing in Disguise

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“That seems like a waste of time,” Theo gruffed as I walked away from Allison, whose words had shoved me further into the dark state of dilemma.I couldn’t disagree or agree with my wolf because I was very confused. Lexie might be untrustworthy, but so was Allison. Although I could sense the intense hate she harbored towards Lexie, I wasn’t certain I could trust that hate.“But she was also telling the truth,” Theo said to me. “We could sense that as well.”“Yes, but do not forget that even Lexie was telling the truth from what we could sense,” I reminded my wolf, pulling him into my confusion. Theo went silent after that, thinking about our situation, but I blurted, “Let’s head to the prison and see if Wyatt has made any progress with Richard.”“Hmm hmm,” Theo agreed. “Hopefully, we will get clarity there.”I held onto that hope as I raced to the prison because I couldn’t bear to stay away from Haylee for much longer. My heart kept racing because I knew she coul

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   314. Princess Allison’s POV (39)

    Princess Allison’s POV ~~“Tell me all I need to know about your younger sister, Lexie.”Those were the last words I expected to hear from Alpha King Xalen. My sister’s name was the last I expected to hear, which is why I failed to hide my surprise.“Lexie?” I breathed out in shock.“Hmm mm.” King Xalen murmured, his gaze fixed on me as if he was trying to see through me or something.Several questions swirled through my fuzzy mind at that moment, but only one made it past my lips: “H-how do you know her?”King Xalen’s gaze locked onto me, his jaw tightening as he leaned forward slightly. “I am asking the questions, Allison,” he said, his voice like a low chime of steel. The weight of his stare pressed down, and a cold shiver snaked down my spine, as if I could feel the threat behind his words.Who was I kidding? I could feel more than his unspoken threats.I swallowed the fear his mere presence was pumping into my soul, trying my best to calm my nerves despite my shaky fingers. “L

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   313. Hard to Hide

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“We are playing a dangerous game, my king.” My Gamma breathed stiffly even after the crowd dispersed. Wyatt’s eyes lingered on the healer's building where Lexie had entered with Haylee and Aradia, and he added, “We just let a potential threat step into our most vulnerable building.”Roy’s eyes twitched as he gruffly agreed with Wyatt, “We could be setting a fire on our roof, Xalen.”My Gamma and Beta didn’t allow us to move to a secluded place before they began to share their opinions, and maybe they were right. However, did they hear Lexie’s story? Did they listen to the poor girl talk?For goodness’ sake, she was just sixteen years old.“I know that look.” Roy sighed, patting my shoulder even though his face remained unreadable. “You believe she is telling the truth, and that’s okay.”My brows furrowed because I didn’t expect Roy to give up on his beliefs easily. “It is?”“Yes, it is okay to believe that Richard’s daughter, who might be the backup plan, is inno

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   312. The Trophy

    HAYLEE~~Was I feeling bad for my rash reaction to Lexie’s whole existence?Huh, maybe—who was I kidding? What I felt was more than bad. The more she spoke, the more I realized that I had nothing to be jealous about. After all, she had fought her fair share of battles, and getting to know her mom, our mom, might just be the trophy she had been fighting for.“Don’t be deceived easily, Haylee.” Liya still snarled as she sent that warning into my mind. “Her words mean nothing until you can confirm them. Don’t forget she will be fully prepared to break yours and Aradia’s defenses because she is Richard’s daughter and Allison’s sister. No saint comes out of that family.”Perhaps my wolf was right.But she was leaving out the part where Vivina carried a part of Aradia within her… a part that represented light even though she was related to Richard and Allison.“Just be careful.” Liya pressed.Before I could say a word to my wolf, Vivina continued speaking, tears pouring out of her faster

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   311. Long-Lost Sister

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~As a king who has learned to keep his emotions hidden from the rest of the world, I failed to keep the shock that sank into me, along with the realization, as Lexie’s words echoed in my head. I once admired her because she defended Haylee, but after hearing about her origin, I couldn’t help but be cautious around her.After all, she was who she claimed to be.“Richard’s daughter. Allison’s sister.” Even Theo had to gasp within me, uttering those names with the same disbelief that coursed through me. “Yet, she is Aradia’s daughter. Haylee’s sister.”The first part of my wolf’s exclamation made it obvious that this female was a threat. Obviously, she was Richard’s backup plan. However, the last part made her less of a threat, not because she was powerless, but because she was linked to people I could trust.Hell, she was linked to the woman I would lay my life down for. She was related to my Hay.And that was the only reason I wasn’t ordering Wyatt to seize Lexie—“
