Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha King’s Discarded Mate: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Penelope's POVMy hands shook as I picked up the tray, baby bump slightly hitting the kitchen sink as I made to walk out of the kitchen." I can do that for you Luna! You are pregnant, you need to rest. Let me take it to her for you" my hand maid, Mina said, trying to pry the tray of hot chocolate out of my hands.I smiled gently just as I had been taught to do when the pack members hit me. They hated when I cried in pain. Made them feel like monsters, they had claimed. So they made me smile." No, it's fine. You know how Laura gets. She is pregnant and she needs care" Mina stared at me as though I had just grown another head." She is pregnant and so are you! You are the Luna of this pack, carrying the future of this pack, and She is just the alpha's cousin. You have more right to rest than she does. I wonder why you let her treat you like this" Mina said.I sighed internally. She has this conversation with me two times a day, when she was washing my hair or getting me dressed.And

Alpha Lucas’s POVThe calls continued late into my drive back home, my beta, Callum briefing me about the deal we had managed to close with the dark moon pack." If their Alpha does not send the next payment, deploy guards to the pack grounds so they know how serious we are about our deals. I'm tired of giving them chances and watching them abuse it." I said into the speaker.I heard calling scribble a few words in that jotter of his that he always seemed to carry around." We should get the...."His words seemed to fade as my headlights caught sight of something laying in the middle of the road. A deer perhaps.I lost control of the wheels trying to dodge hitting it, the phone falling out of my hands and Callum's voice asking if I was okay floating out of the phone.The car engine screeched to a stop as I heaved in shock. Where the hell did that come out of?" Callum, I will call you back" I said simply, dropping the phone and getting out of the car.The air was fresh, the wind ble

Penelope’s povStaring at Lucas, I noticed that anything I say might put Dax in danger. But that would also trickle down to me. Because if Dax found out that I was here, and Dax found out that I belonged to Alpha Lucas, I would be in so much trouble.I shook my head. “I can’t,” I said.He tilted his head to the left. “Excuse me?”The way he said those words hit me deeply. As I cleared my throat to speak louder, “I can’t tell you.”He scoffed, looking at the ceiling. Then he looked back at me.“But you have to. I need to know what happened to you and who did this to you. The doctor told me that you were pregnant. Now you’re no longer pregnant. That must mean that you went through something. From the bruises on your face and the bruises that were on your stomach, I am going to assume that you were beaten up, except you might have gotten into some sort of accident.“So tell me, who did this? I swear to you, I will take care of them. They won’t even see me coming. That is my promise to yo

Dax’s povI was in my throne room, staring into space as I wondered the kind of punishment that I would give to Penelope. She had defied me once more, and I was going to make her pay.“Guards!” I yelled, as a guard came forward with another one coming forward sooner.“Why were you taking so much time to come to me?” I said. They looked at me and looked at the drink in my hand.“I’m not drunk. I’m an alpha. You think I can get drunk from meager drinks?” I threw it to the side as it shattered.“Now let me warn you. Whenever I call you, you appear immediately with your speed. What if I was getting attacked? Did you think you were going to get here anytime you wanted? Was that your plan?” Before they could say anything, I flared up my aura, which had them crushing to the ground and bowing. It made me feel good that finally some people knew their places around here.“Where’s Penelope?” I said.They looked up and exchanged glances before looking back at me, but they were hesitant in answeri

Penelope’s pov“Right this way,” Callum, the beta, said as he opened the door and let me in.I walked in after him as I almost gasped at the sheer size of the room before me. I could only gasp at it as he closed the door behind us and walked into the middle of the room. He spread his arms around. “It’s all yours. It’s one of our biggest rooms. Not the biggest, but you’re a special guest of the Alpha, and I clearly know some things about him. Whenever he feels a certain way towards someone, we treat that person like a special guest.”I looked around the room. “All of this… for me?” I said, as he nodded.“Yes.”I slowly walked across the wooden floors and got to the window to look out. It was beautiful here. Far more beautiful than when I was in my former pack. At least here, nobody was treating me like a slave. But I couldn’t conclude yet. Maybe Lucas was pretending. Maybe he was even worse than Dax. Maybe he was going to beat me up the way Dax would beat me up because of Laura.I tur
