Lahat ng Kabanata ng Offered to the Cruel Alpha king: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

~ RichardThe lady's gaze lingered on me as I tried to recollect where I had seen her before."Get her out," I ordered.Jessica took the key from the guard and tried to open the lock, only to find it already opened.She threw the guard a surprised look and asked, "Why didn't you lock the gate?"The guard was baffled; he looked at Jessica and then at me. "Your Majesty, I locked the gate, I... I don't know how…""If you locked it, then how come it is open now?" Jessica quizzed angrily."Spare the young man; he speaks the truth," the strange woman's voice came through, causing us all to turn our attention to her.Staring at me, she smirked, "It was my doing. I have been waiting a while for you, Your Majesty."I narrowed my eyes. "Have we met before?"She rolled her shoulders and walked towards the gate, placing a hand on it. She replied, "I don't think we have. I am here on a mission."James and I exchanged glances as the woman opened the gate and got out, sighing.She looked so brazen a

~RichardIt wasn't really possible that I heard her right. There was no way what she said was true, was there?"That is right," Nuella confirmed as she walked around Athena's mum. "And he is the only one who can help save her.""How so? H..how is that possible?" Athena's mum asked. I was yet to recover from the news that her father was still alive, and from the look on Jessica and James' faces, it was obvious they were in the same state as I was.Athena had told us her father died before she was born. That had been the story her mother had fed her. It was all a lie. Her mother had intentionally kept his identity from her. That, if you ask me, is a wicked thing to do.Regardless of who the parent is or how vile he or she is, every child at a certain stage of life has the right to know who their parents are. It should be their choice whether to associate with them or not, not that of one parent.Not being able to keep my thoughts to myself, I asked, "Why? What did you do that for? Why

~RebeccaI watched as King Richard and his beta, James, discussed with the men. I couldn't hear what they were saying as they were out of earshot, but I could see very well how everything was playing out.From the shocked look on the guards' faces, it was obvious King Richard must have revealed his identity. The tallest of the guards pulled out his phone and made a call; it must be to Kendrick. At the thought of him, my heart plummeted into my stomach. I was finally going to see him again after over 19 years. What would I say? What would his reaction be? I had shamelessly run away that night without looking back, now I don't even know how to face him, let alone tell him I have a child for him.King Richard and James started making their way back to the car. They must have been allowed entrance; I could see the guards removing the obstacles they had laid out on the road. It came as no surprise to me. He was the Lycan king after all; no Alpha would dare refuse him entrance into their l

~RichardAs soon as Rebecca asserted that she had proof confirming Athena as Alpha Kendrick's child, all eyes turned towards her. Her claim caught me off guard; I hadn't anticipated this revelation.Kendrick arched a skeptical brow, questioning, "What proof?" as if challenging her assertion."I will show you the proof in a few minutes," she replied gravely, then unexpectedly shifted her gaze to me.Why was she looking at me? We hadn't discussed any plan like this. Whatever her strategy was, I was completely clueless about how I could assist.Confusion clouded my mind, and I found myself reflexively rubbing the back of my neck."Your Majesty, can you call Nuella?" she requested.My eyes widened. Nuella? Was that her plan? Did she intend to use Nuella as proof? To inform Kendrick that the sorceress named Nuella confirmed his identity as Athena's father? Alpha Kendrick might not be familiar with Nuella; he might know Sorceress Naomi, as her fame had spread far and wide, but not her daugh

~RichardAlpha Kendrick was the one who spoke, his voice very subtle and calm."Your Majesty, she is insisting she won't ride all the way to your pack with me and ordered the driver to alert you."I was getting fed up. Rebecca's attitude was beginning to irritate me. I didn't understand why she couldn't put her pain aside just for as long as the journey would last. The main reason we were out here was because we needed a solution to her daughter's ailment, and if she was a priority to her, she would stop trying to be an obstacle and instead do all she can to ensure we get to her daughter on time and provide what she needs to survive; her father's blood."What exactly is the problem, Rebecca?" I asked, keeping my temper under control."I don't want to ride with him, Your Majesty. I would rather ride with you for my own sanity; he is driving me crazy!" she shrieked.I wanted to lash out at her but decided against it. We just had no time to waste. I inhaled deeply and exhaled, calming m
