All Chapters of The Alpha King’s Unwanted Omega: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Adrian’s POVThe shock on my Gamma’s face made my heart race.I felt guilty for snapping at her, especially when I saw the hurt in her expression. I had never lost my temper with her before, and she certainly didn’t deserve it now. Not when she was simply expressing her opinion on a matter that shouldn’t concern me. She didn’t know Elena was my second chance mate.And I wanted to keep it that way.“I’m sorry, I—” I blurted out quickly, breaking the tense, awkward silence, but Karen stopped me.“Oh no, it’s my fault, my King,” she insisted, waving her hands apologetically as a sheepish smile appeared on her face. “I tend to run my mouth too much, don’t I? I know I shouldn’t be theorizing about other people’s lives, but I promise I meant no harm.”“I know,” I sighed. “It was wrong of me to be so blunt. It’s just... I have a terrible headache,” I lied, hoping it would be a convincing enough excuse for my unusual behavior.Her expression immediately shifted with concern.“Oh no. Have you

Elena’s POV“A-alpha King,” I stuttered, my pulse skyrocketing.I started trembling, my hands tightening around the mop as my nervousness spiked. His frustrated gaze pierced right through me, making it even harder for me to calm down. Still, I was so afraid he would scold me for taking too long to answer, I forced myself to speak.“I, uh… I was told you prefer the packhouse is cleaned at night,” I blurted out.He raised an eyebrow. “What does that have to do with you?”“Well, as your assistant—” I started, but he cut me off.“You’re my assistant. Not my maid,” he corrected sharply.I swallowed dry.In the end, I lowered my head. “I apologize, my King. I only came here to clean because I was instructed to.”“Instructed,” he repeated, his expression darkening. “By who?”I stiffened, immediately regretting my choice of words.My lips pressed together as I urged myself not to say anything stupid again. I feared he would be angry at me, but I also didn’t want to point fingers. It wouldn’t

Elena’s POVAfter the look Karen had given me, my anxiety spiked. It took me almost a minute to steady myself again. I quietly started back toward my room, hoping I could avoid any more trouble until morning.Yet after only a few steps, the Alpha King’s voice stopped me cold.“Elena,” he called sternly from behind.A chill rushed down my spine. Now that he was done punishing his Gamma, was it my turn? Would he blame me for following Karen’s and Sarah’s orders?Despite the dread coiling in my chest, I forced myself to turn around and face him.Only to find his eyes burning with something I couldn’t quite name.“I saw you training with one of my warriors earlier,” he accused.I immediately went rigid.With everything that had happened in the last few minutes, I had completely forgotten about how angry the Alpha King had looked when I caught a glance of him at the training grounds. He now had the same look on his face, and upon closer inspection, I realized it wasn’t quite anger. But he

Adrian’s POV“There you go, my King,” Karen said as she laid the folder I had asked her to organize on my desk.“Thank you, Karen,” I replied, not looking at her as my focus remained on the papers I was reading. “That is all for today. You may leave now.”Yet when I didn’t hear her move, I finally lifted my gaze.“If the workday is over, you should rest, too,” she insisted quietly, concern written all over her face. “You’ve been spending too many nights awake in your office. The lack of sleep won’t help with your headache.”I hesitated for a moment. It was hard to sleep in the room I had once shared with the mate who’d backstabbed me. I much preferred staying up all night in my office rather than lying awake in bed.At least it provided me with some distraction.Still, I knew Karen was right. My wolf seemed more restless since we had brought Elena back with us, which didn’t help with my insomnia. That was why I had been spending the nights in my office even more often. But I couldn’t

Elena’s POVIn my mind, there was only darkness.Deep down, I knew this wasn’t real. I was sure this was all a nightmare. Still, no matter how fast I ran, I couldn’t wake up from it.The forest seemed endless as I ran through trees with dozens of rogues on my tail.My lungs burned. My legs ached. My heart threatened to beat right out of my chest. But if I stopped, they would catch me. And if they caught me…As horror flooded me whole, I panicked and tripped on my own legs, stumbling onto the ground. I tried to pick myself up, but it was too late. The ravenous beasts surrounded me like sharks, and no one would come to save me.I was alone.Still, I foolishly whimpered, “Help!”And just like that, a shadow lunged out of the darkness.One by one, my savior defeated the beasts. He struck quickly and with formidable precision, leaving me breathless. When all threats had been eliminated, the black wolf calmly strode toward me, and I could finally see exactly who he was.My eyes widened.“Ma
