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
Enslaved To The Alpha King 34. I need my freedom
[Xavier’s POV]The meeting was done and over with, and I had finished all that I had to do for today. All that was on my mind was just to head to my chambers and have a conversation with Layla, so that we could talk about what she had been talking about earlier in the morning.The guards paid homage by greeting me when I approached the door, then opened it for me. The smile on my face dried up on getting inside the room and seeing no trace of Layla in the bedroom.“Layla,” I called, opening the bathroom door.No, she wasn’t there.“Layla,” I called again, going into the closet, but no one was there. None of her belongings were even in sight, and I became really worried.Where had she ran off to? I opened the door immediately, and faced the guards stationed at her door in order to find out why she wasn’t in my chambers.“Where is Layla?” I asked in a furious tone.“I thought it was your order, Alpha Xavier. She suddenly left with her belongings,” one of them responded.“Left to where?”
Enslaved To The Alpha King 35. Promise us one thing
[Xavier’s POV]A few days had passed without being able to locate the rare artefacts and precious stones that had gone missing all of a sudden. The guards had all been searching for them, but it was obvious that someone had stolen them, and we didn’t know who.“Alpha Xavier, are you listening?” Roman asked, bringing me back to reality.“I’m sorry, what did you say?” I inquired, feeling lost and confused.Ever since the artefacts went missing, we had been holding meetings every single day and I was too stressed out to even do other things. Never in the history since the existence of the Shadow Pack had artefacts or precious stones gone missing. Why did all this trouble have to happen during my own reign? I must have committed several crimes in my past life, I guessed.“We, the elders have tried enough. Today is the fourth day since the artefacts were first discovered missing, and if you aren’t able to trace them before the end of this week, we have unanimously agreed that you would ste
Enslaved To The Alpha King 36. The brother he should never have trusted
[Xavier’s POV]“Listen up, I heard that you would do anything for money. If you ask around, people will tell you that I am a very lenient and merciful King. If you tell me the name of the person who sent you, as well as where the rest of these artefacts and precious stones are, not only would I let you go scot-free, I will also give you enough money to live a better life,” I told him.“Alpha Xavier, what are you saying?” an elder roared angrily.“When I said he isn’t fit to be the Alpha, I wasn’t wrong,” Beta Emmet said.I ignored their comments, and focused solely on the shabby man, who seemed eager to accept my offer and looked like he believed me.“It’s okay. You can speak freely to me, and I will let you go. I am a man of my word,” I said.“I will tell you the whole truth,” he quickly said.A smirk played around my lips, and I gave him the go-ahead to start speaking.“The truth is that these are all the items I was given, and I was stealing a boat at the seaport because I wanted t
Enslaved To The Alpha King 37. Through my window
[Layla’s POV]The sweater I had been making for Elsa had just gotten completed. I yawned tiredly as I folded it and placed it on my dressing table, massaging my hands which were sore from knitting for four whole days, coupled with helping Xavier out with his cases.I hadn’t seen him in the last four days ever since we had an argument. Deep down, I felt like I was kind of in the wrong, but I wasn’t ready to admit that yet. I had gotten so angry and emotional and had ended up saying things I didn’t even mean to him, but he didn’t look like he had taken things to heart, so, why hadn’t he come to see me all this while?“Well, he must have a lot on his plate,” I muttered to myself. “Still, how couldn’t he come to see me even once?” I shouted aloud, feeling annoyed.A guard quickly opened the door and looked inside.“Can’t you knock?” I asked in a harsh tone of voice.“I’m sorry, I heard you scream and I was trying to make sure everything was okay,” he explained.“Yeah, it’s not a problem.
Enslaved To The Alpha King 38. In another man’s arms
[Xavier’s POV]I hadn’t been able to sleep all day, owing to the anxiety I had. No one had seen Jeffrey yet, and he hadn’t showed up either. It was as if he was aware that we were searching everywhere for him, and he had already escaped.I really wanted the rogue’s confession to be all a lie, I really wanted to keep having trust in my best friend, I really wanted to make sure he wasn’t hurt in any way, but the circumstances made it way too difficult for me to have any kind of faith in him.His father had been devastated after his house was searched and the rest of the artefacts were found there, along with a lot of money which he didn’t know his son had been hiding. He pleaded with me to spare his life and to give him a chance to explain himself, but how could I give him a chance and believe him when he was on the run instead of succumbing to being arrested?It was with pains that I had disclosed where Evan and Koss were being held hostage to Roman, but Jeffrey hadn’t been found there
Enslaved To The Alpha King 39. The reason for his weakness
[Xavier’s POV]I swung the vase in my hand and before he knew what was happening, I aimed it at him and it landed directly on his head. I didn’t stop hitting him without mercy even when blood started dripping from his forehead.“What are you doing, Alpha Xavier? Why are you doing this?” he asked, looking at me with reddened eyes as though he wanted to cry.“You sleep with my woman and you’re asking what I’m doing and why I’m doing this?” I wondered aloud.“I swear to you, nothing happened between us,” he said.“So, you just mysteriously woke up naked beside her? Is that it?” I inquired.“I... I don’t know. I don’t know what happened, but I can explain,” he said, but I didn’t want to listen.“Save your explanation for your trial. I do not want to hear any of it now,” I said with disdain.“Trial? Please, Alpha Xavier, believe me. I am innocent and I do not have the slightest idea of what is going on here,” Jeffrey said, falling to his knees.I really wanted to believe him but my rage ha
