THE ALPHA KING’S SUBSTITUTE BRIDE
Chapter 1
Two men were sword fighting intensely
Random servant
Isn’t that the king and his wife? *whispering*
Random servant
Why are they fighting so intensely? *whispering*
Random servant
You must be new here so you don’t know, that’s just how they spend their time with each other *whispering*
Kiernan Thorne
*aims the sword at grayer’s neck* *smirks* I win
Grayer Thorne
*groans* Fine, fine. I’ll let you have this one
Grayer Thorne
But don’t think you’ll win the next one
Kiernan Thorne
*chuckles and pulls grayer to his body* You never want to admit defeat do you, my little bunny *sniffs his neck* Hm, you smell good
Grayer Thorne
I told you to stop calling me bunny *rolls eyes*
Grayer Thorne
*pushes him away* And stop smelling my neck, you freak
Grayer Thorne
I’m going to my room now *huffs*
Kiernan Thorne
Are you angry that you lost? *following after him*
Grayer Thorne
Me? Angry? Why would you even think that
Kiernan Thorne
You’ve always been a sore loser grayer
Grayer Thorne
I’m not angry okay? I don’t care one bit that you won
They arrive at the master quarters and enter inside
Grayer Thorne
Why are you following me?
Grayer Thorne
Don’t you have matters to attend to your majesty? *sarcastic*
Kiernan Thorne
I do, but you interest me more
Grayer Thorne
Derian is mind linking me that you have a meeting now and you’re ignoring his calls
Kiernan Thorne
Being King is so tiresome sometimes.. *annoyed*
Kiernan Thorne
I’ll be back for you
Grayer Thorne
Alright, alright
Grayer Thorne
Just go away from here
Kiernan Thorne
*leaves the room*
Kiernan Thorne
*enters the room*
Kiernan Thorne
*doesn’t see grayer*
Kiernan Thorne
*goes to the bathroom*
Grayer Thorne
*soaking in a hot tub*
Kiernan Thorne
There you are
Kiernan Thorne
*takes off his clothes and joins him*
Kiernan Thorne
That meeting was very boring, I missed you *hugs him*
Grayer Thorne
*brings out a knife and puts it to kiernan’s neck*
Grayer Thorne
I win *smirks*
Kiernan Thorne
So very petty you are
Kiernan Thorne
Couldn’t accept this morning’s defeat and had to resort to underhanded methods?
Grayer Thorne
All is fair in love and war kier
Grayer Thorne
By the way, I’m sleeping with Reid this night
Kiernan Thorne
What? Why?
Grayer Thorne
She said she missed me
Grayer Thorne
I haven’t paid enough attention to her lately.
Grayer Thorne
That’s my fault
Kiernan Thorne
Neither have you been paying attention to me
Kiernan Thorne
You’re choosing some strange girl you met six months ago over me?
Grayer Thorne
Don’t be a baby kiernan. It’s just for tonight
Kiernan Thorne
Fine. But I’ll come fetch you first thing tomorrow morning
Grayer Thorne
And when you come, I have something to tell you
Kiernan Thorne
Can’t you tell me now?
Grayer Thorne
You’ll find out tomorrow
Kiernan Thorne
*woke up early*
Kiernan Thorne
(I wonder what grayer wants to tell me)
He walks to Reid’s room and opens the door
The sight of a bloody grayer greeted him
He was sprawled across the bed, unmoving as his blood stained the white sheets beneath him
Was this another one of grayer’s pranks?
Derian must have sensed distress through his alpha’s link because he soon arrived there
Dieran Callix
*eyes widened in shock*
Dieran Callix
SOMEONE CALL THE ROYAL PHYSICIAN
After hours of torturing the found murderer, they confessed
With the name of one family
No matter how long it took
Every single member of that family.
Author
Mind you, our mc is FROM the river’s family🫣
Chapter 2
In a hidden mansion underground
A woman and a man were having breakfast happily, laughing with each other
Lysander River
*walks in solemnly*
Alora River
Oh Lysander! *giggles*
Alora River
You’re finally here. You wouldn’t believe what Zyren and I are talking about
Lysander River
*doesn’t say anything and sits quietly*
Zyren River
What’s wrong with you
Zyren River
Why are you quiet
Lysander River
Leave the room Zyren
Lysander River
I have something to discuss with your mother?
Zyren River
Why do I have to leave? Since when were there secrets in this family
Alora River
He’s right Lysander. A family shouldn’t have any secrets.
Lysander River
*gaze hardened* I SAID LEAVE!
Zyren River
*growls* Fine, but no need to fucking yell at me
Zyren River
*stands up angrily*
Alora River
Don’t be upset Zy
Zyren River
Of course I’m fucking upset. I’m an alpha. No one has the right to raise their damn voice at me. I’m leaving this place *storms out angrily*
Alora River
*sighs and rubs her temples*
Alora River
You see what you caused Lysander
Alora River
What could be so important that you had to chase our son out of the room
Lysander River
He’s found us
Alora River
*laughs nervously* You can’t just say that with no context, what does that mean?..
Lysander River
He’s found us Alora
Alora River
I..It can’t be..
Alora River
How did he..?
Lysander River
I expected no less
Lysander River
He said he would make every single member of the River Lineage suffer
Lysander River
He would go to any extent to avenge Grayer
Alora River
*grits teeth*
Alora River
He’s a mad man!
Alora River
We weren’t even involved in Grayer’s death!
Lysander River
He doesn’t care
Lysander River
He’s going to take Zyren..
Alora River
That psycho has no right to take my son!
Lysander River
We don’t have a choice Alora!
Lysander River
This is what he does to members who aren’t directly involved….
Lysander River
He takes their sons, weds them and makes their life miserable until they die in the span of a year
Lysander River
We can’t do anything Alora..
Alora River
*thinking of a way out*
Alora River
We can do something Lysander *smirks*
Alora River
Have you forgotten we have another son?
Chapter 3
Lysander River
Are you suggesting…
The adopted son of the River family
Lysander River
*hesitant*
Lysander River
*rubs his temples*
Alora River
*narrows her eyes*
Alora River
Don’t tell me you’re actually hesitant about this.
Alora River
Are you out of your mind????
Lysander River
I’m not hesitant.
Lysander River
I’m just thinking about it. How are we so sure Azriel won’t tell the king the truth
Alora River
*grins* Don’t bother about that
Alora River
I have my ways.
Alora River
I’ll pay a little visit to Azriel
In an abandoned little house on a hill
A boy sat on the grass, touching the withering flowers silently
A disruption occurred in the environment
As the dark clouds, managed to become even broodier and the wind became stronger
As the sand twisted and twirled to form a tornado that soon settled down
Alora River
Long time no see
Azriel River
*looks down in fear*
Alora River
You’re scared?
Alora River
I’ve haven’t said anything *walking towards him*
Alora River
*grabs his hair harshly* I’ve barely even started
Azriel River
*whimpers in pain*
Alora River
*let’s go of his hair*
Alora River
*pats it and sits down in front of him*
Alora River
Why do you keep making me do this Azriel…
Alora River
You know I’d never want to hurt you…
It was obvious it was a lie
Alora River
You know I love you right?
Alora River
Answer me *grits teeth*
Azriel River
*nods* You love me…*low voice*
Alora River
*smiles* Good boy
Alora River
As your mother, I always have your best interests in mind
Alora River
That’s why I’ve found you an excellent suitor to marry
Azriel River
*eyes widen slightly*
Alora River
*laughs* You want an escape from this life right?
Alora River
Some psycho has actually taken and interest in you and wants to marry you. I don’t see why but he seems to adore you so much
Azriel River
But he’s never seen me…
Alora River
Says who? *laughs*
Alora River
Are you doubting me? Well if you don’t want it, I don’t mind. You can rot in here forever and forget the chance of ever finding your mother
Alora River
*stands up and turns to leave*
Azriel River
*grabs her clothes* N-No please…I agree
Alora River
*turns around and makes him stand* *tucks a lock of his white hair behind his ears* I knew you’d agree, you’ve always been such a good boy
Azriel River
*looks down*
Alora River
Now come with me. We can’t have a bride to be in this shabby old place can we? *laughs*
Alora River
There’s a wedding to comeeee *singing with an evil glint in her eyes*
Azriel couldn’t help the dark feeling that pooled up in his stomach
