Her Alpha King CHAPTER 40
--Alyssa--It had been two days since the ball, and I had been avoiding Xavier after that unexpected kiss. He looked stressed out, probably because there was a case at the border involving rogues. The timing couldn’t have been worse for us. He came in when I was asleep and left before I woke up. The kiss stirred up an unknown emotion in me, leaving me confused and conflicted. From feeling jealous at the ball to everything that happened that day, it all felt surreal.I blamed it on the mate bond that was making me feel things I never intended to feel. At this point, there was no way I could run because I was being watched like a hawk. I couldn’t even leave the palace, not even to go to the garden unless I was with someone. The guards adhered to their orders strictly because they all did not want to lose their jobs. This constant surveillance made me feel trapped and restless.I had been feeling giddy throughout the day. It was now the afternoon, and I didn’t even want to eat, that’s ho
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 41
--Alyssa--"We will be going to the Pack’s orphanage," she said to me, making me shocked.How does this Pack have an orphanage? Did the parents not want them?"How do you have an orphanage?" I asked, a little shocked because from the structure of the place everyone seemed to be living well."Some of the children are orphans because their parents have died, and others were abandoned at the Pack’s border," she explained to me, making me nod.How could anyone abandon a child at the Pack's border? Why was I complaining when I was left in a forest? At least the Pack's border was better than what I went through; an animal could have killed me, or a rogue."But I was not allowed to go out," I said to her."The Alpha King said we should go along with you so that you do not feel bored," she said, making me happy he had changed his mind.Quickly, I entered the closet, taking out a simple pair of jeans and a top, but it did not look simple no matter how I tried to change the tops."The girls are
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 42
--Alyssa--We were currently at the orphanage, and I didn't know what to expect. As we got out of the car, I took in the surroundings. The building was more like a house, albeit on a much larger piece of land than typical homes. Atop the house, a sign read "Home" in bold letters. That was what they had written on it. Meridith was the one leading the way.“She rang the bell, and a woman emerged from inside to open the door. Once I came into view, she bowed to me. Since I had mated with Xavier, everyone was going to find out that I was the Luna. One could practically smell him on me.“Welcome,” she said, smiling at Meridith. It seemed like Meridith was a regular visitor.“Come in, they are expecting you,” she said, and I quietly followed Meridith as the guards brought in the toys she had bought for the children. Meridith had promised them toys on her next visit, and she was determined to fulfill that promise. This was my first time at an orphanage, and I was filled with a mixture of cur
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 43
--Alyssa--She held my hand, her small fingers curling around mine with surprising firmness. Anastasia, a precocious three-year-old, seemed fascinated by my nails, studying them with a keen interest. She had a natural curiosity that hinted at an early love for fashion. Every so often, she tugged at my hand, wanting me to pick her up so she could get a closer look at my hair and nails. It was quite smart of her for such a young age, showing an awareness and curiosity beyond her years.As we finished sharing gifts, the play ground filled with the joyful noise of children happily playing with their new toys. I couldn't help but think back to my own childhood. If I had been sent to an orphanage when I was younger, would this have been my experience? Would I have found joy in simple things, despite the hardships? Growing up without a loving support system had been difficult, and I fervently hoped that these children would find their forever homes. That was my deepest wish for them.Refl
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 44
--Alyssa--Waking up in bed, I noticed Xavier was not there again. Yesterday, he had made it clear that I shouldn't avoid him, stating firmly that he wasn't interested in playing any games with me. His straightforwardness left no room for misinterpretation, and I was deeply embarrassed by the bluntness of his words.The girls had bailed out on me the previous night. They all said they were heading home, and Meredith and Loveth mentioned they were using the SUV to get there. This left me with no choice but to ride back with Xavier. The car ride was silent and awkward, and that was when he had confronted me about avoiding him.I still couldn’t look him straight in the eyes. Every time I tried, the memory of our conversation would replay in my mind, making me feel self-conscious and flustered. I couldn’t shake the feeling of embarrassment, and it seemed to linger like a dark cloud over me.The day ahead seemed destined to be another boring one. I planned to visit the library later to see
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 45
--Alyssa--I was deeply engrossed in the book I had found. It was believed that the white wolves were the first of their kind to come into existence, blessed with extraordinary powers. They had the ability to heal, control the earth and everything within it, and even communicate directly with the moon goddess. These gifts made them revered but also envied, and eventually, the other wolves' jealousy led to a devastating purge aimed at eliminating the white wolves entirely.As I read, I discovered a stark contrast between what Lily had told me and what the book revealed. According to the text, there was no mention of a king and queen giving birth to a child. It made me wonder if perhaps my parents had been white wolves. The book stated explicitly that only a white wolf could give birth to another white wolf. This revelation sent my thoughts spiraling as I considered the possibility that I belonged to a lineage I knew nothing about.The white wolves were rarely spoken of, their existence
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 46
--Alyssa--"All this was supposed to be ruled by the king and queen," Xavier mused, gesturing towards the majestic structure ahead of us. His expression carried a mixture of reverence and sorrow, as if contemplating a lost era of unity and respect that had been shattered by greed and fear.I nodded in agreement, absorbing his somber reflection on what could have been—a harmonious coexistence between our ancestors and the white wolves. "Even the fact that they allowed us into their land without retaliation, out of goodwill, speaks volumes about their character," Xavier added, his voice tinged with admiration for the ancient rulers of our world."Why are you asking all this?" Xavier finally turned his gaze to me, his eyes curious yet guarded, focused on the book I held tightly in my hand."I went to the library to find something to read, and I stumbled upon this book," I explained, holding up the weathered tome. "It's a story I've never heard before, and it sparked my curiosity.""They
Her Alpha King CHAPTER 47
--Alyssa--I made a drastic decision to be able to continue my quest for knowledge and security. During the four days of my search, I realized that I was supposed to be under protection, and at that moment, Xavier was my security detail. If anyone were to discover my true identity, I would be killed due to the prejudices they held against my people.To ensure my survival, I had to embrace the role of their Luna, as no one would dare harm the Luna. Moreover, they would never suspect that their Luna could be a white wolf, a rarity among our kind.So here I was, fitting my dress for the Luna introduction ceremony. Xavier had been ecstatic when he saw that I genuinely wanted to be Luna and that I wasn't being coerced into the role. His happiness was palpable, and it gave me a sense of reassurance and comfort amidst the chaos that had enveloped my life.Nathaniel had returned, accompanied by his wife and children. Despite their presence, I hadn't yet had a proper conversation with his wife
