Mia took a walk in the Palace garden and a guard stayed by her side because the alpha king was being extra careful. She had gotten closer to Robb in the past couple or weeks and Xavier didn’t like that. This was his way of playing the part of a good husband and keeping an eye on her. She made a promise to stick with their agreement until the end and she hoped to keep it. She wasn’t leaving, but the king didn’t know that and if he did; he didn’t believe it. Xavier’s anxiety didn’t go away, particularly the one towards his father. Mia saw how much it affected him when everyone was away and the charade ended. He had happy days, but those days didn't last long. She didn’t want to pity him, but watching him put so much effort into pleasing his father just to get his approval felt horrible. He didn’t trust her either. He had a hard time trusting anyone because he expected the worse from everybody and believed they were all out against him. Not everyone was his father and c
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 35: Abnormally normal
Important note: The Lunar Eclipse, although also a full moon, is reverenced more than the full moon. It is more powerful and rarely ever happened. Different from the full moon, where werewolves can choose whether to shift, during the Lunar eclipse, every werewolf shifts. *** Mia took a deep breath while staring at herself in the mirror after the last touch of make-up brushed against her face. The event of the night was grand, and king Xavier wanted her to look her best since her natural face wasn’t the best. The king had hired Juliet D’Souza, the kingdom’s greatest make-up artist, for her. Juliet came to do her magic. “What do you think?” the old woman asks, turning to her. She had so many layers of powder touch on her face that made her look strange in Mia’s eyes. “I look okay,” Mia tried her hand at being polite. The overconfident woman scoffed, “You look so much better than okay compared to...” she pressed her lips together and smile nervously, knowing she had almost step
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 36: Playing games
Xavier had sat at court when the head organisers deliberated on the best location for the feast. After hours, they chose the Citadel to celebrate the ascension of the alpha of alphas and the lunar shift. Robb’s position didn’t change Xavier’s title as Alpha King. The people still needed his opinions and approval on matters. The citadel had the build that could contain thousands of people and it had in the past. Although the feast was open to all, they didn’t expect more than a few hundred. There would be nobles from far and beyond tonight and they’d all come to celebrate with the Wahala kingdom. Since everyone regarded the alpha of alphas as the supreme being and his authority as the highest after the moon goddess, a lot would seek to get on Robb’s good side just to get favours and pardon. It was a game of the men and women in power and Xavier had watched that game since he was but a child. He hated that game. One thing Xavier learnt to grow up was that most people who wielded powe
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 37: The hypocrisy of royalty
The citadel crawled with alphas, elders and royals from all over the kingdom, and having the largest auditorium, it accommodated them all. Its lights shone brighter despite the night and banished every trace of darkness far away from the hall. Everyone appeared their best, glowing with outfits of bright colours and expensive. They knew how to throw a celebration. They seemed ready for what was to come. The lunar eclipse would set once it was midnight, so the feast officially took off three hours before then. This way everyone present would get to meet, mingle and celebrate before the glorious Lunar shift. Xavier’s arms have been around Mia’s waist, unwilling to let go. It was hard to discern if it was from fear of losing her or the fear of being alone, but the further they got into the citadel, the closer he held her. The scowl he had on his face earlier returned as he looked around for his father. Somehow finding him amongst the much crow
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 38: Favorable report
“You’re upset,” Mia spoke up as Xavier dragged them further away from Robb who was now back to the guest he had been speaking to before they interrupted. “You can’t read me, lady, don’t try.” he sneered. “I’m not reading your thoughts, it’s all over your eyes and I’m certain everyone here can see it too,” she replied and yanked her hand out of his because she no longer wanted to move. “I’m sorry I took you to him.” “Well, you should be. It was a bad idea.” he snapped, not as mad at her as he wanted to be. “I never wanted that to happen, and I’m sorry.” He struggled to believe that. He hadn’t been the best husband to her and so him being humiliated should give her a little joy. “Don’t be. I deserve that for some things I did to you. So you shouldn’t be sorry.” “I know what you have done, yet it gives me no joy to watch you be put down by your father.” “I am not a good son, I’m a horrible one
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 39: Quest for restraint
Xavier emptied the wine in his cup into his mouth. He turned away from them, his teeth gritted, showing his fury. “We are leaving.” He said, coming to take her hand possessively. Mia’s eyes widened. “What? Why?" “Because I don’t want to be here anymore and I can’t stand spending another minute here.” “We will miss the lunar shift.” Her panic got the best of her as they brushed past those on their path and made their way out of the citadel. His low chuckle chilled her to the bones. “We will not. We just won’t be at the Citadel when it happens.” She almost facepalmed at his answer, knowing how dumb her question was. If Xavier was taking her out, their shift would not be amongst strangers. Though he would be with her, his eyes would not compare to the thousands back at the Citadel. “You had this planned out all day, didn’t you? That was what you meant when you said you know what you were doing, right? You never planned for us to have our shift here.” Mia spoke, breaking the silenc
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 40: Common grounds
Xavier took her hand and led her through the open pace and into the woods as the lunar eclipse moved to set. He wanted to move her to the highest ground, around where they would be on top of everything, with her beside him. He could hear it with the way her hearts pounded and blood raced through their veins and how alert his senses became. The ground beneath Mia’s feet felt lighter than ever, and her heart was racing. She glimpsed the alpha king and watched the wind of the chilly night blow over his face and through his hair. She wanted to capture the moment, or at least pause it so she could run her fingers through it. The full moon set, and she felt the change through her body, trying to adjust to the times and their effect on her. Xavier picked up the change, he could tell. The little cracking noise her bones made told him she would shift in no time, perhaps faster than he expected. With many years of practice and training, he had more control over his wolf more control than she
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 41: Loyalty to the crown
***Flashback “Where is your brother?” Robb asked, stepping towards him with a scowl that showed how much displeasure he had from asking the question. Just like always, Xavier was telling their father, fuck you, and Robb could do nothing about it. The relationship between Xavier and Robb had gotten worse after the death of the Queen and at this stage, there was no repairing it. Xavier would happily do as he pleased just because it was sunny and Robb would feel the more disappointed. Today was the feast of conquering, thrown to celebrate the victory that led to the Reign of the alpha king, Robb Ainsworth. The palace hall was crowded. Every noble and lord came to celebrate with the royals, yet Xavier absence seemed deliberate. Elliott Ainsworth stood behind him with a look of worry on his face, but Edward could read through it. He wasn’t really worried. He hated Xavier just as much as Xavier hated him and Edward knew Elliott was probably praying Xavier never shows up. “I don’t know,
