Enslaved To The Alpha King 26. Let's start over again
[Xavier’s POV]The door suddenly opened and I quickly let go of Layla whose eyes were still closed, and upon looking behind me, I heaved a deep sigh of relief when I found out that it was Jeffrey’s dad who was at the door. He was certainly not going to spread rumours about what he had just seen, and I stood up from the bed immediately to receive him.“Good morning, sir. You’re here early,” I said.“Good morning, Alpha Xavier. I am sorry if I interrupted anything,” he said.I shook my head immediately. “No, you didn’t. In fact, it’s a good thing you’re here,” I said, feeling quite nervous.“I heard that the maiden is awake, and I came to run some tests on her as well as redress her wounds,” he explained.“Sure, carry on,” I said, gesturing at the bed with my hands.“Good morning, sir,” Layla said, straightening her shoulders and fiddling with her fingers which only showed how nervous she was.“Good morning, dear. How are you feeling?” he asked.“I’m okay, but I feel weak and hungry,” s
Enslaved To The Alpha King 27. A million different pieces
[Layla’s POV]It had been two days since I had woken up in Xavier’s bed after saving his life. I was informed that the assassin had been caught, but he had ended up dying, so there was no clue as to who had sent him to hurt Xavier in the first place.I was basically living with Xavier, seeing as I shared his room with him. According to him, he was in the process of decorating an empty room in the Palace to suit my taste, and during the time, he never slept next to me. He always left the room when it was getting dark and he was hardly ever around because he was always busy with one thing or another.Heaving a sigh, I picked at my food lacking the appetite to eat something. I was bored, and there was nothing I could do here.The sound of footsteps approaching made me sit up and lit a smile on my face. I already knew the sound of how he walked, and I couldn’t wait for him to get here.He tapped lightly on the door. “May I come in?” he inquired.“Yes, sure,” I said, grinning from ear to e
Enslaved To The Alpha King 28. Death row
[Xavier’s POV]I had started unbuttoning my robe when I caught Veronica’s scent, and I knew instantly that she was around and was heading towards my room. I buttoned the robe back up and opened the door just as she had began to speak with the guards at the door.“Alpha Xavier,” she said, as soon as she saw me step out of the room.“Veronica, what are you doing here?” I asked.The last time I had seen her was on the day of the banquet, and I had figured that she was going to hate me for a while, but she was definitely going to come around. We had been friends for almost two decades, and I didn’t think anything could tear us apart.“Can’t I come and say hi to my friend again?” she retorted.“I’m just surprised,” I said.“Why would you be surprised? Anyway, I came to speak to you privately. May I come in?” she asked.“Uh...” I hesitated, remembering she and Layla weren’t best of friends. However, before I could give her a response, she strolled into the room leisurely.Now that she was i
Enslaved To The Alpha King 29. He always knows
[Layla’s POV]I drummed my fingers on the table as I skimmed through the books containing the criminal cases Xavier had asked me to work on. I wasn’t able to concentrate as I kept checking the clock, wondering why he wasn’t back yet.Hadn’t he said he was going to be back soon? Or had he forgotten the meaning of “soon"? He had left immediately after he parted ways with Veronica. Did it mean that the urgent thing he needed to do had to do with her? Why was she here in the first place?I really didn’t want to read any meaning into what I had seen. I mean, he knew her first and it wasn’t a big deal if someone hugged a friend. Besides, he knew I was right next door. He wouldn’t have done anything to hurt me on purpose.I knew all these, so why was I being unnecessarily jealous? It was a normal feeling, but if he found out that I was doubting him after everything, it would definitely hurt his feelings. No, I couldn’t... I shouldn’t be thinking about this right now.A knock sounded on the d
Enslaved To The Alpha King 30. I want you
[Xavier’s POV]“Are you okay?” I asked her.It was a very simple question that should be answered easily, but she hesitated in speaking. Instead, she seemed really nervous and was fiddling with her fingers; an act which made her appear deep in thoughts.I stared at her intently, and she looked away unable to meet my eyes.“Yes, I’m okay. I’m good,” she hastily said.“You don’t seem okay though,” I told her.“I don’t get what you mean,” she said, sweating profusely even though the air conditioner was on, and the weather was cold.“I meant that...” I paused right there, as a strong irritable smell hit my nose. I could perceive it strongly, and I sensed where exactly it was coming from.“Blood,” I muttered.“What?” she asked, having not heard me.I gently pushed her sideways so that she left where she was standing, and of course, my senses had been right. A small pool of blood had been formed, and she was bleeding from her foot.“Xavier, I can explain,” she said, with quivering lips.I i
Enslaved To The Alpha King 31. Cloud nine
[Layla’s POV]As soon as he placed his fingers on the zip of my dress, I held his hand to stop him from moving forward.“What’s wrong?” he asked in a drowsy tone that sounded like music to my ears.“Nothing. I’m just shy, I guess,” I said, unable to meet his eyes.I heard him chuckle lightly, then he slowly brushed his index finger across my cheek, nuzzling his nose against mine.“You don’t have to be shy around me. I won’t hurt you,” he said.“You won’t?” I asked, slowly looking up to meet his eyes.“I won’t. I promise. Besides, it’s not like it’s the first time we’ll be making love. I’m sure you’ve not forgotten our time in the woods,” he said, bringing back passionate memories I tried to always keep behind me.I chuckled, then slowly reached out to him, running my fingers along his carved beards, wondering how a man could be so beautifully created. He lifted his finger from my cheeks and trailed it along my heart-shaped lips.I knew he wanted to kiss me again, but he was hesitant.
Enslaved To The Alpha King 32. Demand for a Luna II
[Xavier’s POV] The elders were gathered in the throne room and I sat on the throne, overseeing the meeting. It was like everyday since I had become the Alpha of the Pack about two months ago, we usually held meetings and I had no idea why because there was nothing for us to even discuss at times. Was it that they just liked seeing my face or what? I knew they were having a conversation, but it was unimportant and mostly dad jokes which no one except their generation found funny. I let my mind wander away from their conversation, and let it settle on the one thing that was troubling me. Why had Layla just requested to move out of my chambers just like that? I knew when something was wrong with her, and I could tell that something was definitely going on. How was it possible for us to spend such a passionate night together only for her to wake up in the morning and say she didn’t want to be around me anymore? I know that wasn’t what she said, but it felt like what she had meant. Had
Enslaved To The Alpha King 33. Not afraid anymore
[Layla’s POV]I was making an embroidery on a red silk napkin I had just finished sewing. The design was done with gold yarn and I hummed a song while working on it. I was almost done with it, and I was hoping to give it to Xavier whenever he came back.Earlier today, Xavier had sent some maids with yarns, threads, fabrics, needle, knitting pin and some interesting romance novels to me. It was really heart-warming, but I knew why he was doing that.He wanted to keep caging me here and he probably thought he could do that if he sent me what I had requested for, but it wasn’t going to work. I wanted to find out the entire truth which I knew he was never going to tell me, and no amount of gifts could make me back off, but why was I here smiling sheepishly as I made something special for him?“Layla, can we come in?” I heard Elsa’s tiny voice ask in a loud voice from outside.We? Why was she standing outside in the first place, and who exactly was she with? I hadn’t even be able to detect
