All Chapters of Alpha King Heir Begged Me Back After I Mated to His Brother: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The moment the words left my mouth, a pair of disbelieving eyes locked onto me.Hadley.I turned to him, confused."I just told you I'm not marrying you. Why are you staring at me like that? Think I'm playing hard to get? Don't worry, I'm not the type to throw myself at a man who doesn't want me."My words were casual, but Hadley's face flushed red in an instant. He was furious."Don't think I'll buy your act! Who knows what kind of scheme you're running, you vile woman!""Callum's half a man! Marry him and you'll never know what it's like to be with a real man!"Hadley's eyes were full of contempt. He didn't bother hiding it.His voice dripped with condescension."Zoe, for the sake of us growing up together, I can offer you a place as a secondary mate. As long as you behave, I'll make sure you live out your days in peace. Don't be stupid about this. Unless you'd rather marry Callum and spend your nights alone."I ignored Hadley's taunting and kept my eyes on the Alpha King."I only wa

Within days, the news that Juno was a Gifted She-Wolf had spread across the entire territory.Along with it came the news that Hadley was marrying Juno, and that I was marrying Callum. Every ear in Ashford Territory heard it.Juno's background was no secret.She was the star performer at the Crimson Den, the biggest underground venue in the capital.Even though she'd only sold entertainment and not her body, the rest of the Ashford royals and the Pack Council wouldn't stand for the future Alpha King heir's mate -- the future Pack Queen -- being a woman from the Crimson Den.The Council united in a formal petition, urging the Alpha King to reverse his decision.But Hadley, banking on the fact that he was the only viable heir, stood right outside the Throne Room doors and declared:"I'm marrying Juno. She's a Gifted She-Wolf who can produce an heir of the Ashford bloodline. She deserves a proper title.""Of course, if Juno fails to bear a child, I'll step down willingly and hand the Alph

Callum was a man of his word. On our wedding night, I barely closed my eyes.The next morning, when we went to the Alpha Manor to pay our respects, my legs were still shaking.Callum steadied me. He was about to say something when Hadley and Juno came storming down the corridor from the opposite direction.The moment Hadley saw me, his anger visibly spiked. He sneered."Brother, if you can't perform, don't take it out on Zoe. Look at her face -- white as a sheet. Pathetic. A man's greatest shame is tormenting his own woman. That just proves he's useless."Hadley's mocking gaze drifted to Callum's lower half.I burst out laughing."Is that so? Let me throw that right back at you. You know why I didn't marry you, Hadley? Because you can't get it done. I wasn't about to waste my life on a broken man.""I feel bad for Juno, honestly. Look how rough she looks. She's supposed to be Gifted -- a little action shouldn't wear her out this much. Want me to take a look at her?"Before leaving this

Of course Callum and I had no objections. The ones with objections were the Rogues.Outside the Pack Enforcement Bureau, a group of Rogues had gathered. They banged their tin cups against the ground, loud and shameless."Where's the marshal? Get out here! We're filing a report! Some woman took off with my child! I want her found!"The Rogues' claim drew howls of laughter from the crowd."You? A filthy Rogue? What woman would carry your pup? You're dreaming!""Exactly! Who'd be blind enough to pick you? What's she gonna do, birth a litter of little beggars and hit the streets with you?"The Rogue at the front was the same one who'd led the assault on me in my past life.His face was just as arrogant as I remembered. He spat at the crowd."What do you people know? She came to me. I was out begging and she dragged me into an alley. Had her way with me before I could even think straight.""See this? She left her gold clasp behind. With a body like mine, she's probably carrying my pup right

Hadley went silent. He stared at Juno, who was barely clinging to life.Then he threw himself at her like a madman."You bitch! This is all your fault! If you hadn't been so jealous, I wouldn't be like this!"I watched every second of it. The irony was suffocating.In my past life, Hadley never had Juno. So he turned her into his untouchable fantasy and used me as his punching bag to prove how devoted he was to that fantasy.In this life, he got her. And the moment she failed to give him what he wanted, he ground his precious fantasy into the dirt.Juno brought this on herself. But Hadley had been garbage from the very start.I stopped looking at him. I took Callum's hand and walked out of the Alpha Manor.After the Alpha Succession Ceremony, Callum and I would officially move into the Alpha King heir's Wing.Callum had the place scrubbed top to bottom. Every trace of Hadley was thrown out.The next time I saw Hadley was at the Alpha King's funeral.He stood outside the Throne Room doo
