HAYLEE

~<>~

“Haylee?”

The woman with Jose called out with disbelief, or should I say confusion? Because she looked like she was trying to understand why I was there, and as much as I wanted to tell her that I was asking myself the same question, I was numb because a big part of me already knew why she was there.

Hell! They both exuded the undeniable scent of sex.

I breathed, “I'm sorry to have interrupted you. I better go—”

“No, wait a second!” I have come to know that voice and maybe loved it.

But right now, I couldn't even look her in the eyes because she reeked of my best friend's scent and of the man who confessed his feelings to me less than a month ago.

They both reeked of sex.

If it was someone else, I wouldn't have cared, even though it proved that Jose could be just as bad as Sylas was trying to tell me. But this was someone who had vowed to be my friend even when I wasn't ready to be hers.

This was Benita for goddess’ sake!

I couldn't stand seeing her half-naked and dis

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   76. Alpha Prince Roy’s POV (2)

    Alpha Prince Roy’s POV~~I saw her walking—or more appropriately, dragging her feet—over to where I was standing. She was far from the palace, where I knew she spent most of her time. I wasn’t expecting to see her in this part of the pack because I had observed her routine and knew she rarely ventured beyond the palace grounds.And as much as I had been watching her, I didn’t come here for her. I was here because this place reminded me of Laura.“I love sitting by this forest. It’s peaceful.” I remember those words, and Laura’s voice echoed in my mind even though it had been many years since she said them to me.I also recalled telling her, "It's beautiful."But my eyes weren’t on the forest Laura was talking about. They were on her, and even though I couldn’t sense our mate bond back then, I knew she was mine. I could feel it in my gut and my wolf—I cleared my throat, cutting my thoughts short. Even though I came here to fuel my anger and remind myself of the most important thing

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   77. Long-Lost Friend

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~It wasn’t my intention to stay away from Haylee and my kids. I have been working tirelessly to make sure the territory keeps running smoothly. As much as Evan and Wyatt were helpful, they were still not able to fill my position in my absence, which is why I have been spending a lot of time in my pack office.I have also been having numerous meetings with the Elders and a few other people who have important matters to discuss. Plus, I have been speaking to Wyatt about how to deal with Allison’s case and how to cripple Alpha Richard’s plan.As of today, I have just forty days left to prove that Alpha Richard killed Laura so he could take the throne or make something up, and I have trusted Evan and Wyatt with this. They have been helping me.Spies have been sent to Richard's pack, and I have eyes on Allison as well. She has been spending most of her time with Jose, according to the report I got from Evan earlier today, and that reminded me of the fact that I need to

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   78. In His Eyes

    HAYLEE~~If the trunk of Alpha Jett’s car counts as a ride in the car, I would say this was my second time in a car. Many wolves don’t see the need for vehicles because it’s a luxury that comes from the human world, and as much as we are cool with humans, we try to limit interaction with them to avoid stirring trouble. But of course, most Alpha King Xalen had a few cars that I had seen many times in the palace’s garage. Also, most Alphas, Elders, Chiefs, and other influential wolves collect this luxury—“So we are thinking about cars to ignore the weird energy looming in this car?” Liya said into my mind, calling me out of my delusion.I mean, I didn’t know what to say to Alpha King Xalen. I could tell he was angry to see me with Alpha Prince Roy, who seemed sweet from what I had observed, but I do have a thing for trusting people easily.What do I say to him? I can’t even tell him how and why I ended up on the other side of the pack and found Roy. He doesn’t know that I went to fi

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   79. Poisonous Knife

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I see you, Haylee, not as a replacement but as you.”I meant these words with every fiber of my being. However, I wasn’t sure that would be enough for Haylee. I could tell she wanted me to wipe Laura out of my heart and mind, but that would take time, even if it was possible.Haylee's eyes twinkled with shock, and they darted around the hallway as if she were scared that someone would hear us, but I wouldn’t put her in danger. I mean, before walking up to her and saying those words, I had made sure no one was within earshot.Regardless, Haylee whispered, “Can we do this in Jodie’s room?”I nodded and walked behind her with shopping bags she didn't seem to notice in one hand. A thought crossed my mind as we drew closer to Jodie’s room, and I shared it with Theo, “She calls Jodie with affection and familiarity. Am I the only one she refers to with fear and formality?”“Huh? I bet it’s you and Allison, so you have nothing to worry about,” Theo chimed, and for a sec

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   80. A Melodious Rhythm

    HAYLEE~~I was speechless. His words, his expression, his tone, and the softness of his scent as he spoke to the damaged little girl within me—all of this stunned me into speechlessness and drove me to tears. He wrapped his arms around me so delicately, holding me against his chest. I shouldn’t be thinking about Leo right now, but he was the first male that held me and made me feel safe. However, Alpha King Xalen was the first man who held me, made me feel safe, and made my heart race. Even Alpha Jett couldn’t come close. What was I saying? He never held me or spoke to me softly.“Seriously?” Liya’s voice broke into my mind. “A normal female would be over the moon right now. You are being held by the Alpha King of the territory, Hay. Stop thinking about the lies of Leo and Alpha Jett.” “I have never been happier,” I confessed to my wolf, sniffling back happy tears as I rested my head on Alpha King Xalen’s chest, listening to his heartbeat, which sounded like a melodious rhythm.

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   81. Healing

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~That was cute… And I liked it. Hell, I found myself smiling even brighter after she ran out of Jodie’s room with all the shopping bags. “Imagine her face when she realized she shouldn't have gone with all the bags.” Theo let out a wolfy chuckle. The smile on my face widened not just because I was staring down at my daughter, whom I was beginning to bond with on a deeper level, but also because I believed life was about to get better. Henceforth, I would be making conscious efforts to choose Haylee and put her first. May the goddess help me, and this time, not take my mate from me. “I'm proud of you, Xalen. Thank you for doing this for us. Theo muttered those words to me, causing my heart to skip a beat. I nodded my head, barely keeping my emotions in check as I began to walk over to Sophia’s room, where I sensed Asher would be.“Daddy!” Asher exclaimed as soon as I stepped into Sophia’s room. Sophia also jumped off her bed, racing over to give me a hug. My

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   82. Old Habits

    ALPHA KING XALEN~~Having worked on pack affairs side by side with Laura, I would recognize that handwritten any day. As soon as I saw the first word on the first letter that I opened, I knew Laura had written them. At that moment, a part of me that I didn’t know was dead came back to life as excitement swelled within me.I thought to myself as I grabbed as many letters as I could, moving to sit on the bed that used to be ours, “This could be it. This could be the closure I have been looking for. Laura must have written these letters secretly for me when she was alive.” I was happy to read it. Heck, I was eager to read.Despite the presence of my kids, I let my eyes run over the first few lines of the letter, my heart racing even though I was sitting down. “I didn't mean for this to happen. I know you are mad, but I couldn't control the urges or stop him. The mate nark and the bond between us make it hard. I'm currently carrying his child, but the good news is, it's a girl. I kno

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   83. A Good Day

    HAYLEE~~Yesterday was a good day for me. I mean, why wouldn’t it be? Not only did I get clothes from Alpha King Xalen, but I also got to have a peek into his mind after he said those beautiful words to me. Although I didn’t get to see him after I ran out of Jodie’s nursery yesterday, I could feel his words echoing in my mind when I put the kids to bed last night. And it didn’t stop, not even when I fell asleep. His words created some kind of brightness in my mind. The kind of brightness that chased my fears, worries, and nightmares far away from my mind. That explained why I had a good night's sleep for the first time in a long time.“Also explains why you woke up with a bright smile.” Liya chimed into my mind as I got out of bed that morning, reminiscing about the previous day with me.I couldn’t deny it. I was happy. Like genuinely happy—that was rare for me, but thanks to Alpha King Xalen and his decision to step up, I get to experience this rare happiness. Of course, I knew

  • 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

  • The Alpha King's Hated Mate   221. A General Link

    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

  • 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
