Her Alpha King CHAPTER THIRTY - TWO
–Xavier pov–“Sleep comfortably,” I said to the people I had just finished a meeting with. The exhaustion was palpable, and all I wanted was to collapse into my bed. As I made my way down the hall, I thought of Aurelia and worried she might be sleeping on the sofa again. If that were the case, I would carry her to the bed, even if it meant doing so by force. She was too precious to be left uncomfortable.Aurelia’s childish stubbornness often frustrated me, but I knew it was a defense mechanism born of fear. She had been through so much, and I had inadvertently added to her burdens. My heart ached every time she recoiled from me, avoiding my touch and refusing to speak. It pained me that she wouldn’t even wear the dresses I bought for her, dresses I had chosen with such care, hoping to see her smile.For a decade, I had searched for my mate, and now that I had found her, she seemed uninterested in me. How were mates supposed to feel towards each other? Could she not sense the bond? Or

--Alyssa--“Meredith was here,” she said to me as she gently towel-dried my wet hair.“Yes, I heard her when she came in. Do you think she’s angry with me?” I asked, concerned.“No, she looked like she’d been crying. I think she came to apologize for not taking care of you properly,” she responded, though I wasn’t fully convinced.“What if she’s angry with me because I caused her trouble?”“I’m not sure. She seemed more remorseful than anything,” she said, combing through my hair with delicate care.“Who really is Meredith?” I asked, my curiosity piqued. She seemed wild, the type that always wanted to party her nights away.“She’s Xavier’s cousin,” she replied, still working on my hair.“She’s feisty and loves to party. She’s frequently on house arrest,” she explained, a hint of exasperation in her voice. “So, this isn’t the first time she’s been on house arrest?” I asked, shocked by this revelation.“No, this is probably the hundredth time,” she replied with a sigh.Wow, Meredith wa

--Alyssa-I walked over to the only vacant seat, which happened to be near the Alpha King’s chair. The silence in the room was almost deafening, and it made me acutely aware of the multitude of eyes on me. I couldn’t help but wonder what they thought about me. Did they see me as bad? What were they thinking? Even the children were staring at me, their innocent eyes wide with curiosity.I sat down and greeted everyone politely, my voice barely more than a whisper.“Oh dear, it must have been so hard. I’m sure you’re going through a nervous breakdown,” a woman seated beside me said sympathetically, her eyes filled with concern.“What if you had been raped?” another woman interjected, tears welling up in her eyes.“Are you doing fine now?” yet another asked. They didn’t even wait for me to answer their questions; they just kept bombarding me with their worries and concerns.Their reactions made it clear they were feeling pity for me because I had almost been raped, not because I had trie

--Alyssa--"I always attend, but this year I won't be able to," Meridith continued, smiling despite her evident disappointment."Do other people from the Pack go as well?" I asked, hoping that at least I might see some familiar faces at the event."Yes, my aunties and uncles go as well," she said, which gave me some comfort. At least there would be people there who might not be complete strangers."You have to start getting prepared because it starts at six in the evening, and it's already four in the afternoon," she added. The tight timeline made me anxious. I was frustrated at the lack of notice. Why did Xavier want me to go with him when he never attended these events before? Now he wanted to drag me along on such short notice?But I had no choice. I couldn't afford to make him angrier than he already was. Suppressing my irritation, I forced a smile. "I’m sure there will be about a thousand people there," I said, trying to sound excited even though I was dreading it."See you tomor

--Alyssa--He slid his hand behind my waist, and I felt the familiar sparks once again. This sensation was consistent, and I knew he felt it too."Why are you in a revealing dress? I told them to inform you to choose a modest one," he whispered, his voice low and almost reprimanding. To the onlookers, it might have seemed like we were sharing a private, tender moment, but in reality, he was lecturing me about my dress choice."I like this one better than the rest," I replied defiantly. He fell silent, clearly not pleased but also not willing to argue further in front of everyone. I felt a small sense of victory, having stood my ground against him this time. His cologne was intoxicating, and I found myself wanting to get closer, to breathe in more of his scent. What are you doing, Alyssa? I chastised myself, shocked at the direction of my thoughts."Bambina," Xavier said softly, and I looked up at him. The nickname sent chills down my spine, and I hated how much I reacted to it. I shou

--Alyssa--“It’s for his business,” I heard her voice echo in my head. I was utterly shocked. No one in the pack had ever communicated with me through telepathy before; how was that even possible?“He is known as a businessman to the humans. He owns many businesses across the globe aside from being the Alpha,” she explained, leaving me even more astonished. The magnitude of his influence was overwhelming.“This gala is held on behalf of the companies he runs to give back to society. Just so you know, all his workers are werewolves, but his clients are both human and werewolf,” she continued, her voice filling my mind with images of the grandeur surrounding Xavier's enterprises. The notion that a single individual could manage such a vast network while maintaining his secret life as an Alpha was beyond impressive.“He is known as the business tycoon around the globe. If you search for his name on Google, you would see his name pop up as Xavier Kings, the most eligible bachelor who just

--Alyssa--"Please, you are to move to that table," the guy called Richie said to us.The table Richie directed us to was positioned at the head of the room, a spot that commanded attention and significance. It was a round table with five chairs arranged neatly around it, each chair upholstered in luxurious fabric. The table itself was covered with a pristine white cloth, adorned with a centerpiece of fresh flowers that added a touch of elegance to the setting.I moved steadily towards the table, being extra careful with each step. The last thing I wanted was to trip and fall, which would have been incredibly embarrassing in front of everyone. I had been comfortable where I was seated before, a less conspicuous spot that didn't draw much attention. Now, as we moved, I could feel the eyes of the room on us, curious and speculative.As we made our way, I heard snippets of conversations from the surrounding tables. "She is beautiful," someone murmured. The compliment was unexpected and m

--Alyssa--“Can I have the liberty of dancing with you, Mr. Kings?” The same lady in red who had bid against Xavier said, pulling him away from me. Her boldness and confidence were palpable, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of irritation.As Xavier was whisked away, several people approached me, asking if I would like to dance. I declined each offer, not interested in dancing with anyone else. My mind was too preoccupied with the recent events and the feelings they stirred within me.“You looked beautiful on the dance floor, and the other women looked at you with jealousy, even the werewolves,” Lily said to me smiling.“Mr. Kings said that I should give this to you, Luna,” Richie said, handing me the earrings Xavier had bought. The delicate box seemed almost too fragile in his hands, the precious contents inside glinting under the soft light.“I knew that they were for you,” Lily said, her face lighting up with a happy smile as she admired the earrings. Her joy was infectious, but
