The Alpha's Villainess Chapter Twenty-Three
“So, how do you both know the Alpha King?” I asked as we finished up eating. I’d noticed how they referred to him by his first name, and Thaddeus himself had claimed they were old friends.The two exchanged a glance, as if recalling fonder years of their youth, and a mischievous smile twitched across their lips. “Well... it was when we were all much younger. As children, really,” Hazel started. “Thaddeus would sneak out of the palace and play with us in the street, getting up to all sorts of no good. This was well before we found out he was the heir to the throne, of course. As kids, we didn’t care about showing up to the public appearances the royals would do.”“No, the Capital is so large that we didn’t learn his real identity until he was well into his teen years, unable to hide his aura from us anymore,” Rubeus added.Hazel nodded. “He just wanted to be a normal child, I think. A break from his royal duties and responsibilities. But he fooled us for many years – not that we would

“Alistair will come around, you’ll see,” Thaddeus continued. “There is no need to worry. Since you said you’ve left Easthaven, I’ll have someone prepare a room for you here. It will be good for him to get to know you better.”That feeling of fear quickly crept back in at hearing his suggestion that I should remain in the palace, immediately stopping my tears. “Please... no, I really can’t stay here. Your kindness is appreciated, but it’s for the best that I’m not involved in any of your lives.”I didn’t even fully remember saving Alistair’s life. If anything, I assumed it must have been an automatic reaction that took control over me upon sensing the matebond in my entirely exhausted state. But if it meant I got one favour from the Alpha King himself, then I wanted it to be used for this. To be allowed to leave and live somewhere quietly until I was forgotten. Maybe in a few months, Alistair would finally convince his father to release his Alpha order, allowing him to break the bond,

“I, Alistair Reynes, eldest son of the Alpha King, heir of the Aeredale Empire...—”“—STOP THIS AT ONCE.”Everyone immediately looked up towards the sound of the commanding voice, belonging to the only man capable of challenging Alistair.“I forbid you from rejecting the matebond with Scarlett,” the Alpha King ordered furiously, marching right up to our group. “How could you be so ungrateful? She saved your life, Alistair.”“This is my own decision to make. It doesn’t concern you.”The two squared up against each other, looking as though they were willing to start physically fighting, but Alistair just tensed his jaw. Inside, I didn’t know whether to be more afraid of the power radiating off them both, or the fact that they were arguing over me. I didn’t even want this. I never cared about rising to power or status. All I wanted was to live out the rest of my life somewhere quietly, to be completely forgotten by Aurora and everyone else from Easthaven.Yet the king seemed determined t

I was prepared this time for the onslaught of crazy sensory signals Alistair’s presence would give me. Instead of being hopeful or curious about the man who made me feel this way, I only felt dread inside. A deep, unknown fear of the pain I knew I would feel soon. The same that I’d seen Liam and Aurora experience upon breaking their matebond.“Alistair... you already know about her?” Aurora spoke up quietly.“I unfortunately had the displeasure of meeting her a few years ago, back during a routine tour of the territories. Or, rather, I was meeting with Liam Pyres, but for some reason, she felt it was her place to wrap herself around him like a snake for the entire conversation,” he said, recalling the encounter coldly. “It was as if she were showing off some kind of non-existent status, desperate to prove that she was worthy of attending a meeting meant for future leaders. Liam treated her like some kind of badge of honour he wore.”His eyes then finally turned to me as he continued, s

“No... No....”Aurora spun on her heels and left quickly, not even wasting a second to clarify what she’d heard. As if she were removing herself from the scene before she did something that she’d regret doing in front of the Alpha King.“Aurora!” I yelled, taking a step towards her before remembering where I was. I quickly turned back to the king and gave a small bow. “Apologies, Your Majesty... I, uh... I have to go. I’m sorry.”And before he could give a response, I ran out the door and followed after her.I’d weighed up the options in my head, trying to determine which one was worse, and I’d concluded that mildly offending the Alpha King seemed like the much better choice when it was between that and Aurora’s wrath.“Aurora... AURORA.... Please!”I kept yelling after her, gaining ground as I saw her just up ahead. Unlike me, she was trying not to draw any additional attention to herself as she walked quickly and weaved around the people standing in the hallway. But that only allowe
The Alpha's Villainess Chapter Eighteen
Who the hell was Alistair? How could someone as important as this not be mentioned in the book? Wouldn’t his existence alone have stopped Victor from ascending to the throne with Aurora?...And then I remembered something. Something I’d read over quickly around the start of the book, not paying much attention to it as it seemed unimportant in the grand scheme of the story. When Aurora and Victor first met, it had been not far outside the Capital’s walls. Victor was out there looking for something, investigating an incident into the death of someone close to him. Was that person... Alistair? His very own brother?But if Alistair was alive now... and I had saved him from dying... didn’t that mean I’d now unintentionally prevented Aurora from ever taking the throne? She wouldn’t become the Queen Luna, Victor wouldn’t become the Alpha King, and they wouldn’t get to command the royal armies into a battle against Easthaven’s attacks....I’d completely changed the storyline.But it wasn’t ju
