Author’s Note: Hello and welcome to book #3 of the Love and Chaos series.Book #1 The Alpha King’s Ugly BrideBook #2 His Forbidden MateBook #3 The Alpha King’s Runaway BrideBook #4 The Alpha King’s Last Wish (coming soon)This book is not a stand-alone. You will need to read the first two books before starting this one, but if you don’t want to, I did my best to make it as understandable as possible.Book #3, unlike books #1 and #2, is broader and cuts across many people, places, flashbacks and fields, not just Mia and Xavier. But it is all worth it to tell a beautiful story and bring its characters to life.It has a *mature theme* including explicit scenes of rape, assault, gruesome death, etc. You’ve been warned. I will delete any mean comment.Thank you for opening and thanks for your unwavering faith in me. I love you all. With no further ado, begin the epic tale of love and adventure.Seventeen summers ago...Robb Ainsworth stormed out of his inner chambers after having a talk
Mia stood at the entrance of the palace with her heart racing at the return of her mate, Alpha king Xavier Ainsworth. She had heard the carriage not very long and then caught the faint scent of the alpha king in the palace estate and she immediately abandoned her studies at the in-built office and raced out to see him.It’s been three moons since he left with Edward for the kingdom of Klean and it felt almost like three decades. He had put her in charge of his affairs and so she acted in his place for three moons.Robb Ainsworth and Alpha Koz Lupe had been by her side, just as the alpha King instructed. They aided her and were close counsel and with their help; she ruled effectively just as Xavier would.How does one survive three months, ruling without their mates by their side? She barely did. Yes, outside she carried out the task and responsibilities placed before her, but on the inside, she was crumbling and barely holding on.She knew why he had to leave. Xavier felt the need to
Xavier lay in bed, and a long yawn left his mouth. He placed his hand to his mouth, and he muffled the sound of the moan. He didn’t want to wake Mia, who lay beside him, sleeping soundly. She looked like she needed the sleep, perhaps even more than he did. He plumped himself onto his elbow to have a look at her, at his wife and the owner of his heart.She loved him.It felt surreal and everyday he had to remind himself that she had loved him for five summers, but it was true, and he felt like the luckiest person alive. He moved the few strands of hair on her face away. He stared at her in pure adoration while she slept soundly, her breath light and her heartbeat steady. He couldn’t help admiring her. Her beauty increased with every passing day. He didn’t think he would survive three months without her, and he didn’t want to do it again. That’s what he told her while they made love earlier, that he would take her along next time. Perhaps she thought he was joking, but he wasn’t.His
“So you’re marrying Mia again after being married for five summers just because you saw a proposal in the kingdom of Klean?” Edward asked with a furrowed brow. Xavier had barged into Edward’s chambers while he was reading to announce to him his plans on remarrying the Queen.Edward was a bit surprised by the intrusion, as well as the announcement.Edward told him to tread with caution whenever he came to his chambers, as he was already married, but Xavier had ignored his warnings many times.This time, however, he demanded a bit of respect and privacy, and he was furious at Xavier’s intrusion. He had been married for over two summers and had his mate for four, but Xavier seemed to have ignored that. His chamber deserved as much respect as Xavier’s did and wished he would understand.Xavier apologised for the first time but told him he knew his mate, Kailani, wasn’t in the room with him. He told him he had seen her already headed out of the Palace before he came in to deliver his good
“Are you going to wear that?” Xavier asked, with his eyes already scanning over Mia’s dress. It was a fitted emerald gown that held all her curves and showcase her natural asset.“Yeah, you chose it. You don’t like it anymore?”“I love it, which is the problem.” His eyes scanned her from head to toe and then stopped over her exposed cleavage. Lust flashed over his eyes, and he bit his button lips and dragged his gaze away.“To give the announcement to my father at dinner, I need to have a focused head. With you dressed so seductively, I fear I might not keep a clear head. This isn’t your fault. You just have a very gorgeous body and your curves kill me every time,” he explained, placing his head against the wardrobe door. The feast tonight was a small one. Xavier intended to reveal his intent to remarry his wife, his father, and the elders at the feast. The marriage ceremony was two weeks away and informing these rulers and his father would make the process go faster and well. It’s a
The wind blew over Mia’s face and her paws dug into the ground as she sprinted through the woods. The dry leaves on the ground made a shrieking sound as her paws threaded on them. Blood coursed through her veins, and her heart hammered loudly. She felt alive more than ever. She and the king had detached themselves from the pack of wolves that had shifted and raced into the woods after howling and hunting together. She was much aware of her environment. She had run through these paths after shifting in the last few summers along with her mate, king Xavier. Just like those other times, he was racing beside her and every time with him felt like the first time to her. Excitement rushed through her and she could hear his sprinting heartbeat and it matched hers as they raced toward the much quieter and desolate part of the woods. She was almost at the first part of the segregated point of the woods when Xavier bumped into her and she slowed down, knowing what was about to take place. S
“You’ve been awfully quiet.” Xavier pointed out as he stopped writing on his scroll and set the feathered ink on the table next to it. He looked up with eyes of curiosity at Mia, who had been staring at him without uttering a word.She jerked back and her eyes met his worried ones. Sighing, she shook her head. “It’s nothing.”Perhaps if he hadn’t seen the lost look in her eyes, he would have believed her, but these were the looks she had worn at distinct times in the past. “We’ve been married five summers. I can tell that this isn’t nothing.”He knew her better than anyone at this point. “I’m just thinking.”He rose and moved toward the bed, stopping when he was at the foot of it. “About the wedding or something else?” he raised a brow.She wonders if telling him about the prophecy Julia gave her would be a good idea. At first, she thought it was a parable, but after thinking through everything, she had reasons to believe it was more of prophecy. This too threw her into further confus
Xavier brushed his hand over his long golden coat, which he wore on his white long sleeve tucked into his black trousers, which he had underneath the coat. He stared at himself one more time in the mirror. He wanted to look perfect today because he knew his queen would want that. She also always looks perfect, and he wanted to match her energy. He had to stay in another room last night. It was Mia’s previous chamber from five summers ago. She insisted he moved out so the dressmaker, hair and make-up artist could do their things freely. He didn’t have to be told twice before picking out his things for today. When he asked if he could place the guards around her door for protection, she laughed and told him she was Luna and could protect herself. She told him the kingdom was safer than ever and that everything would go well and he needed not to worry. He kissed her lips lovingly before leaving the room. He had looked forward to today. His wedding day. He didn’t think he could be happi
