After Betrayed By My Alpha King Mate I Disappeared Novels & Stories

"If you had remained obediently in that room, such nonsense wouldn't have happened. You don't deserve such a thing as a mate." I can’t say another word, a lump forming in my throat. It hurts, it hurts so bad, Mother. My eyes snap back to him, and I catch Risa grinning behind him, clearly amused by the sight of me like this. But she’ll never get the satisfaction of seeing me break and beg my father. "Tsk! Pathetic." Beta Vinton clicks his tongue. "Alpha Sherwood... it's such a pity, but our agreement can't proceed when your daughter is already marked and claimed by another man... she's a used product."

"Make sure the staff cleans up the room. I have company matters to handle. We'll take care of the rest when I get back." The door closed, leaving me standing still for a long while. Salvatore Manor was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat. As he said, I had loved him. I had loved him enough to forgive his repeated mistakes and set aside my pride. However, I had a limit, and that limit was loyalty. Ending a relationship didn't require his permission, but severing a mate bond did. I unlocked my phone and found the number I had never used before. It belonged to Sebastian Buckley, the Alpha King.

Ben leans over with a whisper, “I surely thought you would be Alpha Alexander’s mate. You’re the best candidate, and everyone loves you.” I close my eyes against the verbal attack, reminding myself that Ben doesn’t mean anything by his statement. He doesn’t know what’s going on, but still, I reach up and cover the already concealed mark on my neck. “There is nothing between me and Alpha Alexander,” I tell him, the truth painful. Ben hums then looks at my computer. The digital invitation to the Stormhowl Kingdom is pulled up, and he points at it with a chuckle, “You could find yourself a partner. Prince Vincent would be a great match for—”

My breaths grew shallow and I felt my chest ache with something like repressed fury. “Yeah, and guess what? She’s his son’s former mate. You know Dominic?” The other woman’s voice grew more excited because she had fresh gossip to tell. “He’s handsome, just like his father, everyone knows him, Lori.” The other woman’s voice was disbelieving. “What, so Alpha Matthias STOLE her from his own son?” “More like she moved onto another monkey branch once the future Alpha dumped her. He rejected her, you know.” A pause. “I cannot imagine the type of audacity I would have to really try to seduce the Alpha. Not just any Alpha, too.”

The same whimper Liya released escaped my lips as I cried out, an unfamiliar pain hitting my head from the inside– “On my mate’s funeral?” His voice and anger pierced through me, breaking through the walls of my mind. “You step into my pack on this day and you think you will be welcomed with open arms?” How? How could he speak to me through the mind link? I wasn’t a member of his pack neither was I his marked mate– “I’m your Alpha King.” His voice boomed into my mind, causing my head to ache. “Your feeble mind isn’t out of… fuck that. I don’t have to explain myself to you.”

Sunlight streamed through the high windows, illuminating the dust motes and the nervous sweat on everyone's faces. Everyone was there. Gordon, Janice, Lexi... and Cole. Cole stood at the podium, looking every inch the Alpha in a tailored charcoal suit. He looked confident. Arrogant. He thought I was broken, crying in a ditch somewhere. "Welcome," Cole's voice boomed. "Today, I accept the Alpha title. As you know, my destined mate, Ava, is... troubled." He put on a sad face. "She was attacked by rogues last week. And yesterday, she disappeared. She is weak, wolfless, and unstable."

Whereas I worked myself everyday trying to impress him and make him realize my worth and importance to him and his pack, hoping for even a shred of his gaze my way, he had been doing this. “I, Alba, reject Alpha Dante Voss as my mate and Alpha. I annul this bond that binds us together!” I snapped without restraint, watching him as he began to cough up blood. The Alpha King looked at me shocked by the decision I had taken. He couldn’t believe that I would really reject my mate especially with how Dante had threatened me. His gaze lingered on me longer than it should have. As if he was thinking of something I couldn’t quite understand or explain.

Sienna didn’t thank her. No one did. The royal table remained silent, but the truth was loud enough: They’d all seen where the Crown Prince’s gaze went. They’d all noticed the servant who wasn’t a servant. They’d all felt the crackle of something new and dangerous shifting the air. A few of the older Alphas exchanged glances. The Beta at Black River’s right leaned toward his Alpha, murmuring something under his breath. The conclusion hung over the hall like a storm cloud. Reign Voss, future king, had found his mate.

“Don't blame Stephanie! She wrote the song. You two butchers it like a lamb at a wedding!” He stormed off. “Can't nobody do their damn jobs?!” Vivian burst into tears and Jack tried to comfort her. I heaved a sigh and walked away. No words. No comfort. They didn't earn either. Outside, the air was cool and sweet like freedom. A sleek carriage waited at the curb, a black when gold crest shinning int he door. Beta Dean stood beside it like a statue, opening the door for me. “Alpha Dante is waiting for you.”

Then, he disappeared into the shadows of the cave, leaving me standing alone with the torch flickering and the dead spy at my feet. The Vampire Prince had returned. ***** Question; Who is the Alpha? And who is Loki's betrothed?
