Semua Bab The Alpha King's Hated Mate: Bab 311 - Bab 317

ALPHA KING XALEN~~As a king who has learned to keep his emotions hidden from the rest of the world, I failed to keep the shock that sank into me, along with the realization, as Lexie’s words echoed in my head. I once admired her because she defended Haylee, but after hearing about her origin, I couldn’t help but be cautious around her.After all, she was who she claimed to be.“Richard’s daughter. Allison’s sister.” Even Theo had to gasp within me, uttering those names with the same disbelief that coursed through me. “Yet, she is Aradia’s daughter. Haylee’s sister.”The first part of my wolf’s exclamation made it obvious that this female was a threat. Obviously, she was Richard’s backup plan. However, the last part made her less of a threat, not because she was powerless, but because she was linked to people I could trust.Hell, she was linked to the woman I would lay my life down for. She was related to my Hay.And that was the only reason I wasn’t ordering Wyatt to seize Lexie—“

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“We are playing a dangerous game, my king.” My Gamma breathed stiffly even after the crowd dispersed. Wyatt’s eyes lingered on the healer's building where Lexie had entered with Haylee and Aradia, and he added, “We just let a potential threat step into our most vulnerable building.”Roy’s eyes twitched as he gruffly agreed with Wyatt, “We could be setting a fire on our roof, Xalen.”My Gamma and Beta didn’t allow us to move to a secluded place before they began to share their opinions, and maybe they were right. However, did they hear Lexie’s story? Did they listen to the poor girl talk?For goodness’ sake, she was just sixteen years old.“I know that look.” Roy sighed, patting my shoulder even though his face remained unreadable. “You believe she is telling the truth, and that’s okay.”My brows furrowed because I didn’t expect Roy to give up on his beliefs easily. “It is?”“Yes, it is okay to believe that Richard’s daughter, who might be the backup plan, is inno

ALPHA KING XALEN~~“That seems like a waste of time,” Theo gruffed as I walked away from Allison, whose words had shoved me further into the dark state of dilemma.I couldn’t disagree or agree with my wolf because I was very confused. Lexie might be untrustworthy, but so was Allison. Although I could sense the intense hate she harbored towards Lexie, I wasn’t certain I could trust that hate.“But she was also telling the truth,” Theo said to me. “We could sense that as well.”“Yes, but do not forget that even Lexie was telling the truth from what we could sense,” I reminded my wolf, pulling him into my confusion. Theo went silent after that, thinking about our situation, but I blurted, “Let’s head to the prison and see if Wyatt has made any progress with Richard.”“Hmm hmm,” Theo agreed. “Hopefully, we will get clarity there.”I held onto that hope as I raced to the prison because I couldn’t bear to stay away from Haylee for much longer. My heart kept racing because I knew she coul

HAYLEE~~“Hell no!”I didn’t know how long it took me to say those two words and break the silence that had settled over the room.I noticed how Sophia and Asher looked my way with sad eyes. To them, Lexie taking my place sounded pleasing because it was no big deal as long as I was safe. However, it was a different case for me.Kaylee took my place, and I would be damned if I let another sister, whether I knew her or not, do the same and die on me.“Haylee, please. Don’t be emotional now—” Lexie began.But I cut her off by raising my finger. I let my eyes shift to Sophia and Asher before my trembling lips stretched to form a convincing smile. “You guys have nothing to worry about, okay? I’m not leaving or dying because I know I have to be here for you.”“You promise?” Asher asked breathlessly, his red, teary eyes piercing into my soul.“I promise, Ash,” I responded, even though I didn’t know what the future held for me. “So stay calm and go play with your friends in the lounge.”“I
