Enslaved To The Alpha King 53. See you in another life
[Xavier’s POV]With a heavy heart, I stormed out of the hall with the guards and warriors who were present, as well as Gamma Wallace. The intruders were in front of the Palace and were using several weapons to break the gates open.The city was high up in flames and while many people had already been terribly injured, a few of them had been slaughtered.“I didn’t want to participate in any celebration in case they took us unawares like this,” I lamented.“Don’t worry, your highness. We’ll make sure to put up a good fight. I’d have a guard escort you to a safe place,” Gamma Wallace said.“You’d have me abandon my people? No way!” I said.“You should listen to him, Alpha Xavier. This is for your own good,” Roman said.“I would rather die as a hero than live to see tomorrow and be seen as a coward,” I retorted, and took out my sword from my sheath.“What are you going to do? There are hundreds of men out there, and they are way more than us. The warriors are few as most of them have been
Enslaved To The Alpha King 54. This broken heart of mine
[Layla’s POV]While the rest of the world seemed to panic and express their greatest fears by praying to the Goddess, pacing around the room, fighting bravely and being worried, I just sat on a chair in the Palace Hall sitting all alone, feeling dejected.I had nothing to live for anyway, so I was less concerned about the attack on the Shadow Pack. In fact, as far as I was concerned, it served them right and I silently hoped that they lost the battle.“Hey, are you okay?” I heard a familiar voice ask.I looked up, only to see Elsa who was standing in front of me, holding out a bottle of water to me.I looked away from her without saying a word, and just focused on minding my own business. What sort of question was that? The bleeding hadn’t stopped, and I smelled terribly, so how could I possibly be okay?“I don’t know what’s going to happen to us this night, but I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am. I should have...”“I’m not interested in listening to anything you have to say
Enslaved To The Alpha King 55. More than just a bad dream
[Xavier’s POV]There was a wolf in the woods. Its fur was a mixture of a flame-like blue colour, matching the colour of its icy blue eyes which seemed all too familiar, and a sparkling white colour which shone like stars in the night sky. Upon meeting my gaze, the wolf turned around and began to run further deep into the woods.I ran after it hoping to bring it to a stop, but each time I was so close to reaching where it was, it ran even faster and kept on being out of my reach. I stopped chasing after it as I stood to catch my breath, panting heavily, but just as I stopped, a masked man appeared from nowhere with a gun in his hands and pulled the trigger.My mouth let out a gasp as I hurried over to the wounded wolf who was bleeding profusely. It shifted into its human form, and behold, it was no other person but Layla.Tears began to fall from my eyes as I held her hands in mine, even as I felt her body growing cold as the bleeding wouldn’t stop.“Stay with me, please,” I said to he
Enslaved To The Alpha King 56. A whole new world
[Layla’s POV]I stirred in my sleep, mumbling some words I couldn’t remember later on. The bed was so comfy, and I thought as I laid with my eyes closed still feeling a little faint that I was probably imagining things. I should be lying on the cold hard floor of the prison cell and not a soft mattress like this one.“Poor child. Having to lose a child at such a tender age could not have been easy,” I heard the shaky voice of an old lady say in pity.“She should be awake anytime from now,” a thick voice belonging to a man said.Those voices were unfamiliar, and that was when it struck me that I was also in an unfamiliar environment. I couldn’t catch any scent of a single familiar soul and the environment smelled differently from the one I was used to. Could it be that I was dreaming? Well, there was only one way to find out.With fluttering lashes, I opened my eyes slowly and weakly, then shut it close immediately as the harsh rays of the sun nearly blinded me.“Oh, poor dear. Close t
Enslaved To The Alpha King 57. A whole new world II
[Layla’s POV]The Palace was made of brick stones and had a dull colour to it, like it was the den of chaos. As I walked with Dexter leading the way in front and two other guards behind, I averted the curious glances that were being thrown in my way by maids and servants alike.Some guards were mercilessly beating a slender young girl, and I stopped for a while, looking at her with pity as tears began to slowly form in my eyes.The penetrative look Dexter shot me brought me back to reality and I hurried immediately after him, careful not to fall. I still remembered everything that had happened like it was only yesterday. People said that time healed all wounds, but what if mine never got healed?We arrived at the throne room – a large building, but not as big as the one in the Shadow Pack, with great pillars and strong walls which were painted in deep grey colour; making the Palace appear even more dimmer and dark.“You may go in,” Dexter said to me.“You’re not coming with me?” I inq
Enslaved To The Alpha King 58. The set-up
[Xavier’s POV]I sat on Layla’s bed in her bedroom, not saying anything. Forty-eight long hours had passed since I had opened my eyes, and all that had been on my mind was her. I missed everything about her so much, but what could I do when doubts wouldn’t stop lingering on in my mind?Roman walked in. Whether he knocked or not, I didn’t know. All I knew was that he stopped in front of me and began to shake his head, expressing his distaste.“Are you going to keep on acting this way? You’re not a child, you know. Your people are out there and you’ve not even addressed them since the war. Rather, you’re here looking all gloomy because of a good-for-nothing who betrayed you,” he said.I heaved a deep sigh, deciding against speaking to him. My guilt hadn’t erased since I had let my emotions control me and made me treat Layla unfairly because of her so-called betrayal, and I was afraid of making the same mistake again. What if she hadn’t run away and was on the brink of death? What if she
Enslaved To The Alpha King 59. The truth
[Xavier’s POV]“The candles were made from hydrangea,” the Pack’s doctor said, pushing away the tray.“I don’t understand. Is that supposed to mean something?” I inquired, eyeing the tray.“Yes. Hydrangea is a deadly plant, and it gets worse when it has been powdered and is burning. It can cause dizziness, choking and an increase in the heart rate of a person,” he explained.“I was right, then,” I muttered to myself, shaking my head.“What did you say?” he asked.“Forget it. Tell me something, how long does it take for the effects to begin if it is formed into a candle of this sort?” I asked.“Well, I can’t say. Hydrangea is harmful even for those who just touch it. It’s the first time I’m seeing anyone make it into scented candles. The person must have a death wish or something,” he said.“What if the people who inhaled it didn’t die but just slept off?” I inquired.He thought about my question for a while. “Then, it means the fire was put out after they had slept off, don’t you thin
Enslaved To The Alpha King 60. Don't kill him
[Layla’s POV]I weaved my way through the silk fabric with a needle skilfully, making an embroidery design for Alpha Raven. Two days had already passed, and when I had told him I was good at knitting and embroidery, he had asked me to make an embroidery design of a tiger on a robe of his.I was already done, and was just affixing his initials at the end of the embroidery which stopped just at the top of the space meant for his belt.“You’re really gifted,” Samantha said, admiring my work.A small smile appeared on my face. “Thank you very much,” I said to her.Samantha had revealed to me that she was originally from the Shadow Pack, but had been captured when she had missed her way in the woods about two decades ago, and had been made a slave. She had nursed Alpha Raven since he was a child, and had lived as though the Dark Moon Pack was her home, but she never once forgot her roots. That’s exactly why she was being so sweet and helpful to me.“Dear, what is that?” she inquired, point
