All Chapters of The Alpha King's Hated Mate: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

HAYLEE~~It was her.One look at her face, after Richard brought me to the big space in his basement, was enough to recognize her. However, she wasn’t the captivating woman I was used to seeing in my sleep. Her radiating beauty that I was used to couldn’t be seen as I stared at her tangled hair, the same one that glowed silkily during our secret meetings.The tears brimming in my eyes trickled down, pouring out of me as I felt the intense urge to look into her eyes… as if to search for the woman I believed I knew.However, her eyes were closed, and she was completely still, even though she was hooked up to the same machines in the torture room. The machines were bigger, and from her reddish skin, I could tell she was poked daily to keep her in that state.How long has she been here?For how long has she lain on that uncomfortable bed and been fed toxins while her powers are drained?“She’s truly on her deathbed,” Liya choked on her emotions when she said those words to me, looking

HAYLEE~~If they had known the toll that news would take on me, they might have kept it to themselves. But it was too late to take those words back.The initial wave of pain and shock that swept over me as Evan’s words sank in shattered my heart, yet it soon faded. It faded unbelievably fast. Before Richard and Evan could react, rage overtook me. An electric current coursed through my veins, crackling and tingling like an unstoppable force.The energy I had spent months trying to understand swelled within, and I relinquished myself to it. I welcomed the surge, even as it overwhelmed me, trapping my consciousness and wresting control out of my grasp.Still, I embraced it because I didn’t know what else to feel. I pictured Xalen taking Allson as his wife—an image that burned deeply. I couldn’t understand why our bond hadn’t broken, even though he was already married to Allison. Nor did I know what I was supposed to do next, especially with this energy and fury.“You fool!” Alpha Rich

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“I'm here, Nerina. Oh, thank you for staying alive.”The relief that slammed into me when I finally accessed Jaylee’s mind after searching through Richard’s home quietly was overwhelming. I breathed those words into her mind even before I acknowledged Richard’s presence and obvious confusion.It killed me that I had to be quiet and cautious, even though I could have made my presence known and stopped Haylee’s suffering sooner. However, knocking out all thirty of Richard’s home guards without alerting anyone to my presence in the pack was the best way to handle this hostage situation.Although no one would be able to tell it was me, as they were seeing a different person because of the—“Who the hell are you?” Richard asked as his eyes scanned the bloody uniform that I had snatched from one of his decapitated warriors. Seeing me in that uniform assured Richard that I was one of his own, but still, he asked, “Why are you even here?”Rather than answer his question,

HAYLEE~~This can’t be happening! No! No! No!“Stay with me, Kaylee,” I snapped at my sister when I noticed her lids closing.The chaos that followed the one gunshot that put Kaylee in this state couldn’t take my mind or eyes off her. Just like I did with Aradia in the basement, I applied pressure to the wound in the middle of Kaylee’s stomach.“I can save you, Kaylee. Just hold on, okay?” I whimpered, my hands trembling as fast as my lips quivered.I thought we were done fighting. I thought we could all go home, make up… and live happily ever after.“Haylee—” Liya’s voice echoed in my mind.But I ignored my wolf as I asked myself, “Could this be my fault? I did wish her death.” But would the universe really listen to me that one time?“You can’t save her, Haylee.” Liya raised her voice over my thoughts, speaking the last words I needed to hear.“I can save her. It’s just a bullet to the stomach. I can fix that,” I countered my wolf, tears streaming down my face.“Of course, you ca

HAYLEE~~“Atlas and I drank your blood, and we were guided by Gladys, who showed us how to become—well, each other,” Xalen explained a few hours ago, describing how Gladys discovered I was a red wolf.He continued, “Since I had to leave Roy in the pack to keep Allison at peace so Wyatt and I could find you, Atlas had to step in and take my place. And honestly, Flavia would have killed me if I had let Roy marry Allison, even if it meant saving you.”Hearing Flavia’s name brought a smile to my face despite the heaviness in my chest, and I asked my mate, “How do you intend to save poor Atlas from this marriage?”“Easy,” Xalen answered. “Since the marriage is fake, he won’t feel anything when he breaks it off. Plus, he was willing to make that sacrifice because he blames himself for what happened, and I do too. If he didn’t call you out and—”“It wasn’t his fault.” I corrected my mate, and he sighed, keeping his mouth shut so as not to rile me up.I was grateful for that, but at the sa
