The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 48: Pains of the past
Xavier remembered being chained up in the temple at sixteen because he had spoken out of tone with his father. He stayed there chained and without food or water for many days and this triggered his premier shift. The guards heard the noises, but none came to his aid, not until his wolf emerged. A big, black, scary wolf with fur and glowing yellow eyes growled aloud in pain and anger. The chains fell off him, and the door opened soon after. In came the High priest and three guards with silver spears in their hands, ready to attack. Xavier surged forward and killed them all before running out into the woods, and when he shifted back into his human form, his actions dawned on him. He knew his father would have him disgraced and punished and Xavier made plans to run away. When Robb found out what had happened, he ordered a search for him, declaring he wanted throughout the entire kingdom for his atrocities. Just as expected, when he was found, he was thrown into th
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 49: Fighting fate
In her sleep, Mia heard a growl, and this pulled her into consciousness to find a pair of red blazing eyes hovering over her in bed. Her eyes widened further to see she didn’t hallucinate what she saw. There was a big black wolf on her bed, staring down at her. She dragged a sharp breath, scared. She pushed herself onto her elbows, so her face was inches away from the wolf’s, but made no other move. Werewolves were faster in wolf form than in their human forms, and the functions of her legs were still yet to kick in from just waking up. So though she wanted to run up and off the bed, she knew she won’t make it far. She calmed herself, banishing the lingering fear away, and carefully stared at him. The wolf had glowing red eyes and was in her room, which meant he was an alpha and lived in the palace. Her eyes narrowed when her sense of smell finally activated and took in the smell of him. The distinct smell of the wolf was that of the alph
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 50: Hope in fear
A few Lords arrived at the Asika household and so Mia declined her father’s offer to walk her to her carriage. He had a meeting to get to and she could see herself out in one piece. They shared a brief kiss, and he beseeched her to take care of herself. The evening drew near when Mia took her leave. The palace was a little over an hour's ride from here, so she was certain she would get home before dark. The last thing she wanted was to encounter trouble on the road. King Xavier Ainsworth will have a legit reason to have her killed. Mia stepped towards her carriage and almost stepped in when she noticed a pair of glowing yellow eyes at the corner of the compound hanging on the wall of the ceiling. She did not fear. This was her father’s house, which made it hers as well. But she knew better than to let her wolf's side take over so she could find out who was lurking around. Setting her wolf free would tell whoever was lurking around that Mia Asika w
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 51: Good little wife
A knock came to Xavier’s door, and he cringed and buried his head further into the pillow. He had dismissed the guards and told them to not bother him, not even if the palace was on fire. Whoever was at the door either had a death wish or had a death wish. He would be inclined to give it to them if they didn’t leave. He almost fell back to the state of sleep when another knock came on the door. The last two guards that were in his room felt his fury. However, what he did then would not compare to what he would do to the intruder at the door. His hand fisted in a second and his eyes fluttered, already angry, and it made his head hurt. Before he could take himself off the bed, the door opened and someone entered. Usually, he’d know the intruder by their scent, but the much wine he had drunk before falling into bed last night still affected his sense of smell. He didn’t care, he would do justice to the intruder either way. He got off the bed and tu
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 52: Fear in rebellion
He wanted to. He wanted to end her life like he yearned to do so many times in the past, rid himself of her, and be happy. Her death won’t solve his problems, but it would take half away. Yet, he couldn’t kill her. Her blood was the last thing he wanted on his hands. He let her go and turned from her, while she choked and tried to recover from the pain he had inflicted on her neck. Driven by his fury, he stormed over to his bed and flipped it off the floor. It flew and crashed into the wall. He howled out in pain and anger and dropped to his knees. His heartbeat raced and his exposed skin grew hairier and his fingers contorted into a claw. These changes told him he was shifting. Alpha kings usually shifted at will and could control every of his shift, but Xavier found he couldn’t control what was happening to him. His wolf was fighting to take over, and this had never happened before.It terrified him. His emotions that had come into play in the last few minutes were severe a
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 53: Caught off guard
Mia stepped into the dining hall to have her breakfast after being summoned by Xavier. It's been a week since they had the talk and Xavier already came out of his shell. They had worked through a few things and reached a mutual understanding. Their agreement will continue and run its cause and they would maintain a healthy relationship until the end. Xavier promised to keep his hands to himself and with Mia's advice, he invited a listener in the Capital to be his counsellor. Listeners in the kingdom had one job, to listen to personal confessions and offer suitable solutions. They related to Lords, noble-born, alphas and royals on a personal level. They were lower than the ranks of priests and shamans but played important roles in maintaining balance in the kingdom. Every region had at least two listeners and the Capital alone had six. Xavier had never given thoughts to listeners while growing up, he never saw the point. He believed talking to them won't change anything and so he
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 54: Like your daughter
The maiden council meeting today was slowly reaching its end and elder Margaret rose to her feet to read out the notice about some activities that would take place during the week. A few of those at the court were hosting birthdays, having their rebirth and dedication in their various homes. Through the notification, those interested in these events would find it easier to join. Margaret led the announcement and, just like today, she always did it at the end of the meeting.After the first part of the announcement, Margaret flipped the pages of the note in her hand.“Tonight is the full moon.” she announced, bringing a happy cheer from the maidens seated, “and remember, safety comes first. Rules to keep while shifting. Rule one: Maintain territories. Do not go into foreign territory. You might get treated as hostile and unwelcome. Rule 2: Stay hydrated. This is important because shifting might take a lot from you and you shouldn’t be weak. Rule 3: Do not attack—”The door abruptly flew
The Alpha King's Ugly Bride 55: Troubled mind
Mia’s chamber door flew open and Xavier sauntered in like he owned the place the next second. His narrowed eyes scanned the room in search of Mia and they flickered when he spotted her beside the wardrobe. “You should knock. I could have been naked,” she said, but she didn’t turn from her wardrobe, which she fitted a few outfits into. Desire flared in his eyes at her words. He wanted to see her naked one more time, but he knew she wouldn’t give him that. She played the long game. Wicked woman. “You’re not naked, and that’s the important thing.” They stay quiet for a while and Mia used the time to close up the wardrobe. Her heart jumped a little when she turned and saw him in a dashing blue coat and black trousers. His hair was in a neat bun and it highlighted his broad and mesmerising face, which his neatly groomed beard covered. He began speaking, snapping her out of her thoughts. “I heard you were amazing at the Maiden’s court today.” She raised a brow, moving over to the cha
