All Chapters of Betrayed By The Alpha, Claimed By The Rogue King. : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Estelle My heart thumped loudly in my ears, pounded fast in my chest, and even though I was in my new room as Merida nattered away, I hadn’t moved on from the exact moment Preston—whom I had just discovered his name and found out he was Riordan’s second-in-command—came in and mentioned that Eden had called. That he had something to share. Something that had to do with me and that fight I had with Lara.And worse, Maeve must have told Eden that I tried to run away with her to Paris and that could be one of the major reasons he called, right?Anxiety buzzed beneath my skin like a swarm of bees had made it their new hive and it felt like any second from now, the door would fly open with Riordan grabbing my throat and hurling me against the wall for planning my escape. Merida touched my arm and I almost flinched, my chest heaving up and down as I took in the confusion plastered on her face. “Yes…what?”Merida blinked, slanting her head as she studied me quietly. “Are you okay?”I for

Riordan’s P.O.V~The Alphas Event With The Rogue King~‘Arturo has repaid the stolen money. Down to every single penny. Should I set him free?’“Kill Him.” My answer was sharp and direct. What was the use of keeping the life of the man who was already half-dead anyway? A man who would be hunted by me even if he managed to recover. I hated traitors and I only collected blood for betrayal. I shoved my phone back into my pocket, the anticipation returning to my chest as my heart picked up its beat while I waited at the base of the stairs for the one woman I hadn’t seen in days. Wesley gave me the full details of what had actually transpired in Maeve’s school, how she had rejected Estelle as her mum, and how she had cried all the way back here. So, I gave her three days of rest even though I sometimes found myself at her door, just to catch a whiff of that scent that my lungs ached to be filled with. I had missed her. Missed her in my bed, missed watching her fall asleep, missed watc

Estelle’s P.O.VI slammed the door hard behind me, leaning against it, my heart racing hard in my chest as Aunt Danica’s selfish words replayed in my head. I fought back the tears that threatened to slip past my eyelids. How dare she belittle everything I had felt? How could she make it seem like Eden had done nothing when he cheated on me, fucked Lara under the same roof I slept in? On our bed. All the emotions I felt then were raw, real, and still burning alive. I literally caught him with Lara on our wedding’s eve and she labeled it as me overreacting. Like making a mountain out of a molehill. Fresh anger coursed through me all over again, my heart burning as I opened the door—just in time as she turned to it, her hands flying to her chest before she broke into a sigh. “Ellie, I thought you had left…”“The last I checked, you are my dad’s sister, closer to him than I would ever be. You knew him longer than I had, grew up together so if you are that worried about making sure th

Lara’s P.O.VWith a swipe of my hand, I swept all the makeup products on the sink to the tiled floor, a guttural scream rasping out of my throat asI stomped on the products, crushing them under the soles of my heels. My lower back slumped against the sink as I slid my hands into my hair and let the tears fall. My body trembled with each sob while her cruel words echoed in my mind. As much as I hated to admit it. Estelle was right with everything that she had said about Eden. Two nights ago, I approached Eden’s home office to ask him to join Maeve and me for dinner. I had stumbled on his conversation with that condescending Aunt Danica whom Estelle never kept in check whenever she treated me harshly. She was on her knees before Eden, promising to speak to Estelle. I had expected him to kick her to the ground, saying he wanted nothing more to do with Estelle but what did he do? He slumped on the couch and shamelessly agreed to her condition without even thinking twice or even talkin

Estelle When the car slowed as I reached the heavily guarded iron gates with security, fear had clawed up my throat. I had thought that perhaps Riordan had notified them of my disappearance and that was the reason for the sudden halt. The first time I came into the Rogue Kingdom with Riordan, there was nothing like a stop and search. The security wasn’t even this tight. My fingers had tightened around the steering wheel, my pulse flying over the roof, and worse, the persistent voice that kept saying that it was over for me and I was about to be dragged back to Riordan. The fear of being busted almost made me heave up bile. I thought this was my end. Riordan would finally kill me and I would never see my daughter again. However, the security had only bowed his head in reverence, apologizing for the delay. He didn’t even bother to check who was sitting behind the tinted window and had only cleared the way for me to pass. I allowed my fear to get the best of me. I had been so pr
