Chapter 92. "Get away from her!"All eyes moved in the direction of the voice that seemed to boom around the palace.Daciana's eyes softened when she saw who it was. "Kellen." She whispered.Kellen walked out of the shadows in a corner, his facial expression plain. However, his piercing blue eyes were locked coldly on Beta Dax who tilted his head."Oh, good. You haven't escaped the palace yet." Beta Dax muttered, a mocking smile curling up his lips. "Why were you running away if you didn't kill the Alpha King, Kellen? It does nothing to help your cause or to prove your innocence. If you ask me, it actually–""Can you cut the crap and just let her go?" Kellen asked, sounding completely uninterested as he brought his wrists forward, gesturing for someone to handcuff him. Beta Dax dimmed his eyes at him first before he let go of Daciana who quickly stepped away from him, her eyes scrutinizing him with suspicion."Are you okay?" Alan asked just then, placing his right hand on her shoulde
Chapter 93.Sabrina led Daciana to her room where she sat on top of her bed.Her mother, Sabrina, sat beside her, placing both her hands on her shoulders and comforting her while Daciana sniffled."I need to go and see Kellen in the dungeons," Daciana remarked, nodding her head as she did. But before she could stand up or do anything rash, her mother held her arm, stopping her instantly."What you need to do, Daciana, is sleep. Rest." Sabrina said calmly even though she had a stern look in her eyes. Daciana was taken by surprise by her mother's sudden sternness until the poor woman sighed heavily and placed both her hands on her forehead."This is all my fault." Sabrina lamented, shaking her head with despondency behind her voice. "If... If I had just forced you to reject the triplets when you found out they were your mates, maybe you wouldn't have to go through... To go through all–""Mother?" Daciana arched an eyebrow, shaking her head before she sat down on her bed again, giving
Chapter 94. "I should get Daciana to reject me and then what?" Kellen's voice echoed with contempt. "I'll end up with you? I'd rather rot in this cell, Hailey."Daciana got closer to the cell at the end of the hallway, her hands balling into fists as she caught sight of Hailey.The two-faced bitch leaned against a wall, her arms folded in front of her chest and her hair falling freely behind her. The Beta's daughter seemed to be pressed as she spoke with desperation in her voice. "Don't say that, Kellen! You can't actually mean that... Right?" Daciana squinted her eyes and soon saw Kellen standing at the other end of the prison cell. He looked like a ghost of his former self already, with sunken eyes that Daciana could see despite the distance.Daciana felt her heart sink but that sinking feeling soon morphed into warmth when she heard Kellen's next words."How many times do I have to tell you that you and I can never be an item, Hailey?" Kellen asked, tilting his head with his han
Chapter 95.After walking out of the dungeons, Daciana made her way downstairs. She brought out her phone and checked the time. It was almost eight PM... They should be having dinner by now. When she got downstairs, she wasn't surprised to meet Beta Dax eating at the dining table with Hailey sitting to his right.Daciana's mother, Sabrina, sat on the right side of the table, while Axel and Alan sat together on the left side of the rectangular table. "Good evening," Daciana said with a calm tone, causing everyone to raise their heads and glance at her. Hailey had a slight smirk on her face as she responded. "Good evening, Daci. Were you up to anything this evening?" Daciana ignored her at first, sitting at the other free end of the table close to Alan and Axel.Alan, who sat closest to her, stared at her curiously, his grey eyes dimming."Are you okay?" He asked.Hmph... Okay? The way people close to her threw that word so freely around irked Daciana to no end.She knew they meant
Chapter 96. "Dear old Dad strikes again with one of his jokes even in death," Alan mumbled after hearing the Beta's words, shaking his head. Daciana could almost feel the resentment behind his voice but she wasn't exactly sure. She stretched her hand, clutching his hand and trying to seem reassuring.Alan glanced at her with a blank expression while his eyes glinted with an unknown light that was hard for even her to decipher."Ahem..." Beta Dax cleared his throat just then, bringing the attention back to him. "Yes, it's a very revealing will. But it aligns with the traditions of this pack at the end of the day. Just like another tradition that I'm about to bring up right now."Everyone tensed up, glancing among themselves and silently wondering what the Beta had to say.After a few seconds of silence, the Beta continued. "According to tradition, if something happens to the person who the previous Alpha king has crowned as the next in line and the Alpha king is dead, the decision of
Chapter 97. "Wait... Wait... Wait..." Elena stuttered from the other end of the phone when Daciana made a video call to her the next morning.Today was the day. The day when Beta Dax would have to decide on a replacement for Kellen for the position of Alpha King.Apparently, from what Daciana heard, he planned to make the announcement public, with everyone in the pack scheduled to gather at the event hall although they were supposed to be mourning.Anyway, Daciana sat on her bed, still in her pajamas, and listened to what Elena had to say after she narrated everything that had happened the previous day. From Kellen being accused as the culprit for the murder of the Alpha King and thrown in jail, to Hailey trying to blackmail him, to Beta Dax acting weird and being suspiciously harsh. Daciana could still remember the way he manhandled her and threatened to throw her into the dungeons in place of Kellen if he didn't come out from his hiding.Yesterday was nothing short of chaotic and
Chapter 98.Daciana was still in shock after hearing the Beta's words. It echoed in her head, despite the murmurings of the people in the hall. Alan is going to be the new Alpha King...She glanced at Alan who sat in front of where she and Elena sat. Meanwhile, Elena had something to say and whispered to Daciana. "It makes so much sense that he was picked! He's pragmatic, clear-headed, and doesn't let emotions cloud his actions while also being emotionally intelligent." Daciana could tell that Elena was a big fan of Alan, but she didn't mind even though he was her mate. She knew she could trust Elena and she also knew her words were harmless."Fair enough," Daciana muttered in response as Alan got up from where he sat and adjusted his clothing.He made his way to the stage with a stoic expression, ignoring the murmuring of the people."I thought they would at least pick Axel." A girl from the audience mumbled. "Yeah, same! He's so dreamy while Alan is so bland.""Alan is hot too,
Chapter 99. "Someone seems all giddy about being the Alpha King," Axel muttered when Alan got to them with a smile on his face.Daciana stared at Alan for an extended period. The smile on his face was small but it also didn't seem warm.It felt smug... Like a person who won a bet.Or... Maybe she's reading too much into the whole thing, and Alan should just be allowed to show emotions.'Gosh, I need a break from all this overthinking.' Daciana thought to herself while plastering a smile on her face in reality."Come on, brother. That's no way to congratulate your brother." Alan remarked, placing his hand on Axel's shoulder.But Axel physically recoiled, his eyebrows knitting into a frown before he spoke up. "Congratulate you? Really? For what? For being picked as the Alpha King while our brother rots in the dungeons."As soon as Axel said all that, Alan's cheery expression devolved back into his usual stoic face. It had happened so fast that Daciana's mouth subconsciously opened wide
Chapter 120. The next morning, Daciana woke up feeling more well-rested than usual, causing her lips to curl up into a smile as she sat up and stretched out her arms. She glanced at her left side and saw Axel sleeping soundly while facing the ceiling, his chest rising and falling with each breath.As for Kellen, the new Alpha King slept on her right side and had his left arm lazily wrapped around her body while he lay on the bed with his chest."Good morning, mates," Daciana whispered with a warm smile even though they were both still sound asleep and probably couldn't even hear her. She kissed both of them on their cheeks, watching their faces light up with smiles even in their sleep, although they stirred a bit.Daciana didn't bother trying to wake them, knowing that they were both exhausted after everything that had happened in the past few weeks or so.Anyway, she stepped out of bed while still naked and was about to head to the bathroom when suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist,
Chapter 119. (Warning: Mature Content Ahead)Daciana fell onto the bed, a small gasp escaping her lips as she watched both Kellen and Axel taking off their clothes. She bit her bottom lip, her arousal shooting through the roof when she caught sight of their bare chests, causing her to chuckle softly. "Gosh, it really has been a while." She remarked as they proceeded to take off their pants as well until they wore nothing but underwear which barely held back their bulging dicks.Kellen was the first to go down on her, squatting on the ground as he pulled off her panties, revealing her pussy to them.He subconsciously licked his lips before he proceeded to lower his head to her entrance and began using his tongue to flick her entrance until she let out a soft moan.She gripped the sheets, overflowing with ecstasy, as Axel climbed onto the bed and then knelt beside her. His hands went to her breasts which he slowly fondled at first until he brought his mouth to it after taking off her
Chapter 118.(Warning: Mature Content Ahead)When Daciana was done eating, she was the first to leave and retire to her bedroom. However, when she opened the door and stepped in, turning on the light, a slight smirk curled up her lips as she slowly began walking toward her bed while taking off her clothes.She brushed her hair, loosening the tresses which it was braided into before she let it fall until it reached the small of her back.Just when Daciana had taken off her clothing, leaving only her bra and underwear, a knock sounded on her room door, causing her to smirk slyly."Come in..." She blurted, adjusting her bra and then parting aside some strands of her hair.However, when the door swung open, Daciana's eyes widened when she saw who it was. "D– Delta..." She said in a panic, using her arms to cover her chest as the older woman walked into the room with an awkward look on her face.The Delta's lips parted with realization and then embarrassment as she shook her head before
Chapter 117. At the end of the day, Alan was successfully sent out of the pack while Hailey and her father were locked up in the dungeons until further punishment could be given to them if needed. However, despite all that, Daciana couldn't help herself from feeling uneasy about one particular detail. "Don't you think banishing Alan was a bad idea?" She asked Kellen when they all had dinner at the dining table. She, Kellen, and Axel were the only ones at the table since Elena and Sabrina had finally left the palace. Sabrina was still receiving treatment from the pack doctors since the bullet she had been shot with by the Beta was silver-coated and had intoxicated her system.But she was slowly recovering so Daciana didn't worry herself much about her and entrusted her to the pack doctors.As for Elena, her parents finally got her to come back home, telling her to give Daciana and her mates space. Daciana honestly didn't mind that idea...Anyway, back to her question, Kellen dran
Chapter 116."And that's why, I, Daciana Gavin, reject you as my mate forever!"As soon as Daciana said those words, the audience released shocked gasps and murmurs as they watched Alan fall to the ground and begin shaking erratically as if he was convulsing.He held his chest tight, struggling for basic breath as he tried looking up at Daciana and his brothers. But Daciana only watched him with cold eyes, every ounce of sympathy she once felt dissipating and melting away alongside the all-binding mate bond. She's always known that she was the only one who could reject Alan and his brothers as easily as this but she's never thought of doing it after they started getting close. Why should she? Everything had been going great, and she would've never suspected that Alan, of all people, would be capable of committing all the atrocities that he did. Daciana balled her hands into fists, watching as Alan began moving his right hand forward, trying to grasp her ankle as he shook from the
Chapter 115. As Kellen and Alan clashed in their wolf forms, the hall erupted into chaos as the civilians attempted to flee.However, the exits were closed, forcing the people sitting in the front rows close to the stage to go to higher grounds, all to avoid the fight.Meanwhile, Daciana watched in horror as two of her mates, two brothers, fought. It was amazing how the three of them all looked alike in their human form but were entirely different as wolves.Kellen's fur was white as snow and flowed like clouds around him. Alan, in contrast, had pitch-black fur enveloping his body like night encroaching on the sky."Daci, get out of there!" Elena yelled out from below the stage where she and the pack doctors were tending to Sabrina.At that same moment, Alan managed to gain the upper hand and head-butted Kellen directly to the Beta's seat. "Goddess, have mercy!" The Beta exclaimed as he grabbed his daughter and ran out of the way, narrowly escaping Kellen crashing into his table."K
Chapter 114. "I'm here to prove once and for all that Kellen Ryker is innocent!" As soon as Daciana said those words and the audience gasped with shock, Alan got on his feet, staring directly at her. "Daciana, stop whatever you think this is and drop the microphone." He warned, a growl leaving his mouth.But Daciana was unshaken as she stared right back at him before speaking to him through the microphone."Why? You're afraid that the whole pack will find out the kind of manipulative, scheming fraud you are?" She asked with spite in her voice, causing Alan to clench his jaw and causing the crowd to murmur in shock and disbelief."She speaks ill against the new Alpha King!" Someone from the audience yelled out just then.Another one added soon after. "Is that even allowed? She's merely an Omega after all.""Yes, but she's also his mate.""What sort of image does it paint for him if his mate can confront him like this?"Daciana could feel the people losing hope in Alan rapidly and th
Chapter 113. Finally, the day that Daciana had been dreading all this while arrived.The day of Kellen's execution.It was going to be made public and almost everyone in the pack was going to be attending. The rest who couldn't were those who couldn't stomach seeing his death.As for Daciana, she still had to attend as the new Alpha King's mate... Not as if she didn't want to attend anyway.She was in her room, with Elena and a maid helping her to make her hair into tresses."I was going to ask if you're okay but I figured that the answer to that question is no." Elena suddenly muttered awkwardly, gesturing at the maid to leave the room when she was done.When the maid closed the door on them, Daciana sighed heavily and turned her gaze to Elena."And you're right, Elena. I'm not okay." Daciana blurted, her jaw clenching just then. It was early in the afternoon, but she hadn't had breakfast, nor had she had dinner last night.Her mother had been worried sick and tried her best to ge
Chapter 112. The next day, Daciana and Axel decided to visit Kellen together so they could inform him of the recent developments and come up with a plan. When they got to the dungeons and told him everything, Kellen's face went pale with shock."Alan did what?!" Kellen yelled out, his mouth wide open as his gaze went from Daciana to Axel.Daciana nodded her head solemnly, her jaw clenched. "Yeah, he's been colluding with Hailey and her father all this time. The most annoying part is the fact that he's also been frolicking with the bitch."She balled her hands into fists when she remembered the conversation between Hailey and Alan that she had luckily recorded.Her nightmares last night were filled with the images of Alan and Hailey making out and laughing at her as she cried and pleaded for them to stop. She couldn't continue like this..."Daci, I'm... I'm so sorry." Kellen said with a low tone, stepping forward and attempting to stretch his hands through the space of the silver ba
