All Chapters of The Alpha King's Hated Mate: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

HAYLEE~~“Look at me, Haylee. Please,” Alfred pleaded, and I met his gaze. Even though I was certain that my eyes were reflecting my rage, he smiled at me and added, “You have to look at me to see my heart and hear my soul.”How I wanted to give him a snarky response and tell him he never heard my soul nor saw my heart when I needed him to, but since I was dying to know more about Aradia, I held back my comment and held Alfred's gaze.“I met your mom during one of the biannual galas that Alphas used to have to solidify the bond among all the packs, and the connection I had with her was instant. It was almost as if I found my destined mate for the second time—”“Almost?” I snickered, hating that he wasn’t being completely straight with me.“I already had a mate, Haylee. I couldn’t explain how I could feel another mate bond with a different woman, and I still can’t. So yes, almost, but that doesn’t make what I felt less real,” Alfred answered, clarifying why he chose to use that parti

ALPHA PRINCE ROY’S POV ~~“Do you want to tell me what the problem is?” Xalen’s voice cut through my worried, stricken mind, snapping me out of my thoughts.We have been moving from one jewelry store to another since we left the palace this morning, and even though it’s been hours, we haven’t found the perfect ring for Haylee. Neither have I been able to stop thinking about why and how I froze this morning when Haylee graciously offered that Flavia and I share her big day with her.That was more than gracious.Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to accept the offer.“I don’t see how I will find the perfect ring for my mate with your face like that, so spill, Roy.” My cousin rolled his eyes, yet placed his hand over my shoulder reassuringly. “What’s the problem?”My eyes shifted from one angle of the store to another, searching the area to confirm if this was a good place for me to be vulnerable. I didn’t see anyone around, but I could perceive a few scents within the store, so I decided to

HAYLEE~~Seeing Flavia, who had spent the whole day brooding over Roy's reluctance to get married to her and make their bond legal, happy brought a big, bright smile to my face. She was a good person, and she deserved all the happiness in the world.I held on to Jodie tightly, my eyes lingering on the couple while Sophia and Asher screamed to celebrate the proposal.I mean, who would have thought?After the kind of day we both had?I believed the day couldn’t get any better as I whispered, my voice shaky, “This calls for celebration. What would you like to eat, Flavia? I will personally prepare dinner for you tonight.”With eyes brimming with immeasurable joy, Flavia gazed at me, lips parting but only to close. Her eyes fell to the beautiful, glinting ring Roy had placed on her finger as she tried to speak again, but just like her previous attempt, words escaped her.“You know what?” I uttered, saving her from another futile attempt to speak while her body shook visibly, “I will ju

HAYLEE~~The soft, warm glow of dawn seeped through the curtains, casting a gentle streak of gold across the room and my face, but it was nothing compared to the golden, soft, and warm smile on my face as my eyes fluttered open. My eyes felt heavy but strangely light at the same time, like I was drifting in a dream I never wanted to wake from.The only time I felt like this was whenever I saw Aradia in my sleep, but that wasn’t what happened throughout the night. My face heated up as my mind drifted to the long, intimate, and sweetly sweaty night that Xalen and I had behind closed doors.Gosh! I was so in love with him.I lay there, breathing in his scent, which was tinted with mine. My fingers lightly traced the lines of his jaw, still trembling from everything that happened last night and through the night.“Not to forget the weight of that sparkling gem,” Liya cooed within me, her excitement pumping in my veins.“I agree,” I chuckled to my wolf, a rush of gratitude and undying lo

HAYLEE~~“I don't have many details right now, but I promise to tell you everything when I do,” Kaylee proceeded with those words. “But be careful, Haylee.”That was one warning I couldn't brush aside even after I left the room, with Flavia walking beside me. I was lost in thought, but before we could make it out of the healers' building, we ran into Gladys.Gladys's eyes widened, relief glinting in her eyes.She then breathed, “I was on my way to find you in the palace, Queen Haylee.” I didn't miss the small bow of her head after she said those words.I would have told her to wait until coronation before calling me queen or bowing like that, but curiosity got the best of me, and I chimed, “Why is that?”Her eyes shifted around the hallway, and even though there was no one around, she urged Flavia and me to follow her to a private healing ward. Gladys didn’t start talking until she closed the door behind us.“Do you remember the paragraph about the Crimson curse and crimson sacrific
