Delilah’s POV

After lunch, I waved goodbye to Morgana then walked into the car waiting for me.

Inside was a woman. Even though she was sitting, she was tall. Slender and very beautiful. A pair of black shades hid half her face, and the mink coat she wore covered the Lowe half of her face. Her aura filled the cramped space of the car, choking me. But I kept my head up and smiled.

“My queen,” I greeted with a bow of my head.

She didn’t glance at me. “Have you done as I asked you to?”

“Yes, my

  • QUEEN OF THE ALPHA KING   See through glass

    Morgana’s POVHours later, I’m back at the suite. My entire body feels like I’ve been run over by a truck. No, ten trucks. Ryker is awake by the time I walk in. He’s in bed, eating a huge bag of chips and scrolling aimlessly on his phone. When I walk in, he turns to me. His eyes rest on my cheeks and narrow.I brace myself for the sharp sting of accusation, but instead what he says next completely floors me. “What happened to your face?” I blink, staring at him like an alien had taken over his body. “My face?” I ask, touching my cheek. He throws a chip into his mouth. “Duh. It’s swollen. Did you fall? Walk into a pole?”No, Ryker, I didn’t walk into a fucking pole. You hit me, after accusing me of cheating. And then right after, you tried to rape me. “You seriously don’t remember?” I end up saying. He blinks, stupefied. “Remember what?”I let out a heavy sigh. “I’m tired. I’ll go take a shower.”“Where did you go today?”“Bridesmaid dress shopping with your aunt.”“I didn’t k

  • QUEEN OF THE ALPHA KING   Rifts in the past

    Morgana’s POVMelissa’s friends are the prettiest and sweetest women I’ve ever met in my entire life. According to her, they are her closest best friends ever. Nora, Amby, Charlotte and Elaine. Just after a few minutes of spending time with them, I find myself envying their friendship. In a good way, of course. Painfully, it makes me remember Delilah. I used to imagine we’d have this kind of ride or die bond. But instead she wanted to jump to the die part. But only on my side. So as we spent the day picking out bridesmaid dresses for Sunday, I tried to imagine I was a part of this warm and utterly supportive friend group. And it was fun, really fun. I started to forget about my cheek hurting under the layers of concealer and color corrector, or the fact that Ryker was probably awake by now. I was really really having fun. Until he came in. Alpha Dante’s aura crashes into me before he steps into the luxury store. Melissa had cleared out an entire floor for us, so I knew that o

  • QUEEN OF THE ALPHA KING   Tensions rising

    Dante’s PoV“Alpha, Karl was spotted at the airport. Reports say he boarded a flight for Las Vegas.”I pause my typing. Julius isn’t here, he’s back in West Coast keeping things under control till I return home. I turn to the phone on speaker. “What the fuck is he doing here?”He sighs. “We’re not sure yet, alpha. Could there be a chance he was invited to the wedding?”Melissa won’t do such a thing. She doesn’t know Karl. The majority of the time she spends her days in Las Vegas, blending in with the humans and pretending to be one of them. “There’s no chance,” I turn back to my laptop. “I’ll have some men keep an eye on him over here.”“Of course, Alpha. How is Mrs Hamilton?”“Julius, don’t fucking piss me off.”“My apologies, alpha.”I end the call and slam my phone face down. This was supposed to be a peaceful weekend. Spend the time with my sister, and make sure to avoid my sons wife. Yet I know she’s here. She’s close by. My wolf won’t let me rest. All night he’s been botherin

  • QUEEN OF THE ALPHA KING   Fridays are fundays

    Morgana’s POVThe rest of the week passed in a blur. On Thursday, Ryker and I took a flight to Las Vegas for the wedding. We arrive at the Darkspire Hotel, which is owned by Alpha Dante. I’ve heard about it a lot, but nothing prepared me for actually stepping into the luxurious five star lobby. The second we arrive, people are already waiting to take out things and lead us to our suites. For the duration of the wedding, we have the entire floor of the penthouse suites. As a couple, Dante and I get one. The suit is gorgeous, furnished in tones of gold and white. The massive balcony gives the perfect view of the Strip, with all the glowing lights and the bustling city life. Excitement bubbles low in my belly. This is the first time I’ve been to Las Vegas, or even stayed in a hotel as fancy as this. Sometimes I forget just how rich Alpha Dante is. It’s barely nine pm by the time Ryker is getting ready to leave. “Where are you going?” I ask, looking up from my phone. He gives me an

  • QUEEN OF THE ALPHA KING   Invitation

    Morgana’s POV“Honey, did you get any sleep at all last night?”I force on a smile and gave Chloe, my colleague. “Yes, I did. Just a little.”Lies. I didn’t sleep a wink. I was up all night. Sobbing, then sobbing some more. Then I tried to watch a movie and ended up sobbing again because I picked a sad one. By the time the sun cracked open the sky, my face was swollen, my eyes all bloodshot, and there was no call by 4am asking me to report to work by 7pm so I had to drag my ass to the office at the crack of dawn. Nothing make up and concealer won’t hide. But apparently, it wasn’t enough. Chloe drops a bottle of strawberry juice on my table. “Try and rest, okay?” I thank her, even though I’m not sure I can stomach anything. I make my way to Alpha Dante’s office. I’m organizing his schedule for the day when he walks in. I freeze. So does he in the doorway. Our eyes meet, his are dark pools of an emotion I can’t name. He looks at me, his eyes moving down my body and resting a sec

  • QUEEN OF THE ALPHA KING   Hurt me too

    Dante’s POVI couldn’t do it. Not while Morgana knelt there like a perfect submissive, staring at me with the purest eyes I’ve ever seen. The plan was simple. Punish her. That was it. Make another woman suck me off so Morgana could see what she was missing out. Bullshit. I wanted to punish her? I’m the one who ended up being punished. My wolf won’t stop whining. Yapping and making noise in my head. This cursed, one sided matebond. For all my life it has tormented me. And even in this second chance at life it still torments me. Morgana was fucking stunning in that green piece. The moment I spotted it, I knew it would be perfect on her. I wanted to abandon all caution. Pull her into my lap and fuck her while she wore it. That’s why I fucking bought it. Instead, I ruined everything. She cried. Seeing tears in her eyes did something to me I can’t even fucking explain. I hate it. But at the same time I like it. I want to make her cry. At the same time I want her to be crying out
