Semua Bab The Alpha King's Hated Mate: Bab 151 - Bab 160

HAYLEE~~“Have you been crying, Haylee?” Asher questioned as soon as he made himself comfortable beside me.Before I could get my tongue to speak, Sophia murmured with furrowed brows, “You smell horrible, Hay.”A smile cracked my rigid face, and I forced my exhausted body off my back, sitting on my butt and resting my spine against the headboard.Flavia, who was standing at the foot of the bed, chimed in, “If his small eyes can't bear the sight of you and her tiny nostrils can't stand your smell, imagine what my way bigger eyes and nostrils are enduring right now.”I scoffed as Jodie cooed as if laying her own complaints as well. Flavia caught on to that and laughed, “See? Even Jodie agrees that you need a good bath because you are an eyesore.”Rolling my puffy, strained eyes, I breathed, “Well, you all won't have to see me or perceive me if you just leave me alone.”Although I managed to smile at Asher and Sophia as I uttered those words, my voice still came out harsh.Asher stiff

HAYLEE~~“Are you certain it wasn’t just a dream?”Gladys, one of the oldest healers in the pack, asked me after I told her about the vivid dream I had before my heart was stomped on for the millionth time in this lifetime.“I wish to say I am certain, Gladys, but I am not. It felt so real, and a part of me wanted to believe it was real because it would mean my mother was powerful and I could finally get answers from her,” I said to the woman sitting on a stool before me, her old, wise eyes twinkling as she listened to me.“Well, it could also mean that you are powerful enough to call on the spirits of your ancestors,” Gladys stated with a proud smile.I have been training with her for the past two days. Although I was initially training with her and Flavia, once again, my heart was stomped on; Flavia had handed me over to Gladys because I needed more than just training.According to Flavia, I needed teachings that would strengthen who I was… who I truly was. And even though I was b

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I am sorry because, despite hurting you the way I did, I still can’t answer the one question that would help us move forward, Hay.”Eventually, I uttered those words even though I knew it wouldn’t be enough to quench the uncontrollable emotions that were burning within Haylee—or at least who she had become. Seeing me with Allison must have broken her to the point where her newfound strengths became dark.I have heard of Healers that go dark. In fact, Healers have been said to be the twin sisters of witches. Both witches and Healers can go dark and do evil, even though they can also be pure and good.Healers like Haylee can give life, but they can also take it.And as much as I love that she was finally finding herself after being tossed around all her life, I wouldn’t want to be the reason she becomes a dark Healer.Haylee looked back at me, her eyes void of the emotions I knew were coursing through her. I could perceive her feelings but couldn’t see them in her

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“It’s done, My King.”The servant I put in charge of packing Allison’s belongings spoke as soon as she stepped into the living room, where I had been pacing since I got home.More than five hours had passed since Haylee promised she would return home to me, yet the darkness outside deepened as she remained absent. My thoughts flickered to worry, but I quickly pushed it away.Before now, I had focused solely on the need to free myself of Allison. Frustration simmered within me as I glanced at the packed boxes that had been moved into the living room. Their presence was a reminder of my desperation. I craved Allison’s absence in my home, in my life. Each box removed was one step closer to reclaiming Haylee, a signal that I was choosing her above all—no throne, no title, just her.“Everything she owns has been packed?” I asked, the urgency lacing my words. Every minute felt like an eternity as I waited for Allison's return—hoping I could see her face when she realiz

ALPHA KING XALEN~~At first, I thought I didn’t hear her correctly. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me and my ears were in on the whole plan.However, when Haylee said, “I want your mark, Xay,” my mind instantly shifted to another possibility.I thought to myself, “She is kidding. She has got to be joking.”“Doesn’t look like she is, Xalen,” Theo countered that thought.Yet I laughed, thinking Haylee would join me, but her brows furrowed and she asked, “Did I crack a joke?”“You aren’t trying to be funny?” I had to ask as I stopped laughing, staring back at Haylee, who began to move towards Jodie’s small bathroom to bathe her.“You think it’s funny that I want your mark? I thought you wanted more of me. More of us,” Haylee breathed and focused on getting Jodie ready for bed.“I still want more of us, Haylee, but a few hours ago, you didn’t want to speak with me or even look at me. You tensed up when I hugged you and asked for time, but now you are asking me to mark you? Rig
