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

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

HAYLEE~~“What has gotten into you?" Princess Allison exclaimed, struggling to tear Sophia off her. Before I knew what was happening, Princess Allison gave Sophia a hard shove, sending her staggering towards the hardwood sofa. Without hesitation, I ran over to catch Sophia before she hit her head against the sofa. But I couldn’t reach her on time. But fortunately, Sophia managed to steady herself just before her leg touched the sofa. One would think she would take a minute to catch her breath, but within a twinkle of an eye, Sophia was on her feet and ready to attack again. “Just put them back, will you?" She snapped at Princess Allison's, whose face was just as red as Sophia’s.“Put what back, dammit!” Princess Allison shouted like she was fighting with someone her age. “What are you accusing me of now, you spoiled brat!” I wanted to interfere. Put myself between the two princesses or do anything to put an end to this madness that sprung out of nowhere. Couldn’t we just enjoy

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“W-why will you do th-that?”My daughter whimpered, her lips quivering as she raised her head to look into my eyes. I didn’t miss the way she blinked rapidly as if she were holding back tears. I knew Sophia. I knew her well enough to know that she was already cooking an explanation in her head, and if I didn’t reply soon, she would assume whatever she wanted, good or bad, and the rest of us would be left to live with her reaction to her assumption.Again, good or bad.But how do I tell my daughter that I took down her mom’s portraits because I couldn’t bear having her all around the house, eyes on me everywhere I turned, after reading just two of the letters I found in her drawer?The letters I knew she wrote because—damn! I don’t want to go down that path again.I walked the path, and I kept walking all night, which explained why I couldn’t sleep, get Laura’s words out of my mind, think about anything or anyone else, and wake up early.“I can’t do this,” Theo gru

HAYLEE~~“I hate this, and if you don’t put them back, I will hate you too!”Oh, dear goddess!I have done everything I could to make sure this part of Sophia stayed dormant. The angry side that had eaten her away after her mom’s death—I have fought to keep buried—but Alpha King Xalen had effortlessly triggered her, waking up the beast we all knew she carried within her soul.“What do we do?” Liya sighed within me after we both watched Sophia storm off.I was about to respond when Asher muttered to Alpha King Xalen, “You always make Fifi cry, Dad. That makes me sad.”Asher also left, going after his sister and leaving the rest of us in uncomfortable silence. I didn’t know what had come over Alpha King Xalen, but he didn’t come off as the man who bore his heart to me just last night.Without sparing Princess Allison another look or even shifting his gaze to me, Alpha King Xalen turned around. Unlike the kids, he didn’t take the stairs. Instead, he walked towards his home office.Pri

HAYLEE~~Upon arriving in the dining hall, I found more kitchen servants there, ready to clear the table and take the dishes back to the royal kitchen since no one was there to eat.Quickly, I chimed, “Wait a second, please.”Despite my soft tone, Owen, who was standing idle against one of the pillars, scoffed, “And why should we do that? If you want to eat, you can make your own food, Royal Help.”I could barely resist the urge to roll my eyes, but thankfully, I didn’t. I said to anyone willing to listen, “I'm here to get the king’s breakfast. You can stop me if you want to face his wrath.”Of course, I was speaking to Owen in particular, but I didn't bother to look in his direction as the servants stepped away from the table, giving me the space I needed.Although I heard him mumbling under his breath, Owen didn’t dare to cause any trouble. I also didn’t waste time, as I grabbed the King's special plate and filled it with food. I turned around to leave, but when I saw Maeve and Or

ALPHA KING XALEN ~~“You either start talking to me like you want me in your life, or you reject me now.”Prior to the moment Haylee seethed these words at me, Theo had been telling me, “Fix your damn face, Xalen. Don’t talk to her like that. She would get the wrong impression.”My wolf had been warning me, but I just couldn’t help it.Even though I was pretending to focus on work, my mind kept racing back to the second I decided to read those letters. I wish I hadn’t found them. Heck, I wish I had forced myself to read more so I would have answers instead of dying under the weight of curiosity.As soon as Haylee lashed out, I got the kick I needed to snap back to reality. Although I was shocked she would speak to me like that without a hint of fear in her eyes, I was happy she did, and it made me realize what was important to me.Haylee was important.And even though Laura once held an important place in my life, I had to start accepting that she might not be who I believed she wa

Princess Allison‘s POV ~~I put the glass of freshly squeezed juice to my lips, washing my meal down with that deliciousness. The palace seemed to be experiencing some tension, but I didn’t let that affect my meal. In fact, I was happy about what happened between Alpha King Xalen and his bratty daughter, who had constantly proven that she was nothing but a thorn in my ass.“You can take the dishes and leave now,” I said to the servant who had been standing in a corner of my room while I ate. I added, “Find Jose and ask him to see me before noon.”I could have sworn that she froze at the mention of my personal guard, but I was too happy to care about confirming that. I couldn’t be bothered right now. Plus, this was one of the servants that hung out with the Royal Help. She was the least of my problems.“All right, Your Majesty.” The servant said, bowing to me as she arranged the plates into the tray she had brought in with my meal earlier.I smiled, “That’s right. I’m the majesty ar

The Alpha King's Hated Mate 227. Princess Allison’s POV (28)
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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 226. Princess Allison’s POV (27)
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,
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 225. More Than Enough
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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 234. Crown the Queen
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
The Alpha King's Hated Mate 223. Sleeping Beauty
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
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
