The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate

"What did I do to you, Isolde?" Anne threw a murderous glare at Isolde. "Why did you do this to my family?"

"I just hate you. That is all," said Isolde nonchalantly. "That is a good enough reason for me."

"Why? Did Leon know you're doing this? He and I have no problems..." Anne's chest felt so heavy when she saw her husband being treated that way just because Isolde hated her.

She remembered the moment fifteen years ago when Leon came to visit her in her hut. Leon came to tell her that he would move on and forget about her to marry another woman.

He wished her all the best and promised protection from all members of their tribe who considered her a traitor. He promised, for as long as he lived, nobody would dare bother her and her family.

Anne truly appreciated the gesture. She appreciated Leon's feeling's for her but she couldn't accept him. She didn't love the Alpha. So, she could only wish him happiness with his new partner.

Isolde was the mate chosen for Leon by the elders. Still feeling heartbroken by Anne, Leon couldn't care less who he would be mated with. Isolde was the daughter of the Alpha of the Obsidian Sand Pack, a powerful pack from the South with so many members.

Her father promised support for Blood River Pack to attack Riga and topple the royal family, and establish the domination of their tribe over humans in the region. Alpha Leon would then unite the whole werewolf packs in this continent under his leadership. That was the plan.

It was a marriage of convenience and he made it clear from the beginning. Isolde who had been admiring him and in love with him one-sidedly for years was happy with the arrangement. She thought Leon would change. She was such a beautiful and talented woman. Surely, she could make Leon forget about that traitor, Anne, right?

She was wrong. Leon barely touched her if not for procreation purpose. After they had two sons, he thought they already had enough heirs to continue the pack's succession. Day by day, Isolde felt more and more rejected by her own mate, the man who was supposed to be her better half, the man who should have made her his queen and loved her with all his heart. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

And then she realized, even though she was his mate in name, she had never and probably would never take Anne's place in his heart. Not only was this hurtful, but also insulting. Everyone thought of her as a joke, because she was the Luna, but she was not the Alpha's beloved.

After years of taking all the insults from outsiders, Isolde couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to punish her mate for this pain. She wanted Anne gone from this world. And she wanted Anne to suffer too. It was her fault that Alpha Leon didn't love his mate and his children.

"I just don't like seeing you happy. How can you be happy when I'm living a miserable life?" Isolde scoffed. "You live in peace with a husband who loves you when I'm suffering. That's totally unacceptable."

"You are unreasonable, Isolde. So, your mate doesn't love you. How is it my fault? You live a miserable life, because you are a sorry piece of shit. Instead of doing this, you better look into yourself!" Anne's gaze was filled with anger but as soon as she finished her sentence, Isolde kicked Jack in the head.

"Aaahh..." Jack groaned in pain because of the kick. He tried to hold it in but Isolde's kick hit him hard on his existing injuries and caused him so much pain.

"How dare you, Isolde! Grrrr...!!" This angered Anne greatly. Jack had suffered so much and now this heartless bitch was torturing him some more, just to hurt Anne.

Anne Hansley immediately transformed into her wolf form and jumped to save Jack. Unfortunately, the lycan who was standing in front of her immediately jumped to hold her and a fight was inevitable.

Anne showed her prowess in battle after she shifted into her wolf form and fought the lycan who also transformed into a big grey wolf. Her movement was fast, she shifted to avoid the swing of the lycan's claws in front of her, and then stabbed the lycan's stomach until it fell. Blood spilled and darkened the color of the sand.

Seeing their comrade being defeated so easily, the other lycans who were standing around Anne stepped forward and attacked her simultaneously.

A great commotion happened in the middle of the desert valley. The sound of roars and booms echoed between the walls of the rocky mountains that surrounded it.

Isolde gritted her teeth in annoyance, watching Anne drop her men one by one. She then pulled out one of the swords that nailed Jack's hand roughly, causing the blood to flow profusely and some of the flesh from Jack's hand was pulled out.

"Ah." Jack winced in pain.

"STOP THERE! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR HUSBAND'S HEAD SEPARATED FROM HIS BODY!" Isolde pointed the sword at Jack's neck.

Fresh blood dripped from the tip. Hearing Isolde's call, Anne who was in the middle of the fight turned her head and the opportunity was immediately taken advantage of by her opponent. One of the two lycans slammed its sharp claws into Anne's back.

"ANNE!" Jack screamed when he saw his wife fall to her knees. "ANNE GET OUT OF HERE! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME! PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE!"

Jack still couldn't see what happened clearly but he knew by instinct that his wife was being attacked and pressured to relent because the enemy used him as collateral.

That's why Jack screamed at the top of her lungs to warn Anne not to come closer because there was nothing she could do anyway. It was better if she sacrificed him and went back to protect their daughter.

"ANNE… GO!!!" Jack cried and begged his wife to leave him. But… Anne was more stubborn than him.
