Enslaved To The Alpha King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

[Xavier’s POV]I was thinking of different ways by which I could go to see Layla without offending her. I just couldn’t let her go, and although it had only been hours, I missed her greatly... I missed literally everything about her and I missed having her around.What had I gotten myself into? Why had I made such a mess? Everything was going good and great for us, but as always, I just had to go and spoil things and I knew deep down that my excuse of being drunk didn’t and couldn't change a thing.As a married man, I should never have gone to visit a single woman all alone, so everything that had happened was my fault and my fault alone.Perhaps, it was because our first meeting had been chaotic... that was why we could never seem to get any moment of peace in our lives. I had promised never to hurt her, but even from the beginning, I had never kept my word. Why then should she keep on believing me when all I did was break her heart every single time?“I don’t even know who you are.

[Layla’s POV]I hadn’t slept a wink last night, as I nervously bit my fingernails waiting for it to be another day. Brody had asked that I waited till daybreak before checking out for the evidence at the place where he mentioned it will be to give him enough time to leave because he thought I’d come after him once I found out who was behind the whole thing and what the evidence was.Maybe I should have checked earlier on because for all I knew, he could be deceiving me, but I just decided to trust him because he did sound sincere.I had ended up falling asleep just before it was dawn, which was no surprise because one couldn’t really cheat nature. By the time I opened my eyes, the sun was already out in the sky and I could hear the birds chirping in the nearby trees.I yawned and stretched out my arms and legs, chewing the insides of my mouth in a somewhat still sleepy manner, then yawned again and rubbed my eyes. I was still trying to figure out when I had slept off, when I suddenly

[Layla’s POV]There was a council meeting for all the elders, and I just sat with my legs crossed on the seat right next to Xavier’s listening to the discussion that was going on, as I drummed my fingers on the table anticipating the coming of Veronica.“Is everything all right, your highness?” the Gamma asked.I nodded my head in the affirmative, and forced a smile. “Trust me, I'm good. Don't mind me and go on with your discussion,” I said, dismissively.“So, how’s the condition with Jeffrey? He’s a strong wolf. Why isn’t he awake yet?” one of the elders asked.“His dad is the one treating him. I’m sure he’ll get better with time,” Xavier responded.“I’ve told you that you can’t come in right now. There’s a meeting going on,” we heard a guard say from outside, almost at the top of his voice.“How dare you disrespect the mother of the next Alpha? Is something wrong with you?” I heard the former Beta’s voice yell.Wait a minute. What was he doing here?“Did you send for him?” I asked X

[Xavier’s POV]I had been examining the button for several days, but nothing was forthcoming. I couldn’t remember who had a similar button to this one, and I was still so confused. It was like every time I tried to remember, something just came and brushed that memory away.Kyle hadn’t returned from the errand I had sent him on, which was at the Dark Moon Pack with Alpha Raven. Thankfully, we had signed a treaty and I was confident that he was doing okay and would return soon in good health with the information I wanted.I rolled the button around my palm, just staring at it fixatedly as though I expected an answer to miraculously fall from the sky.Just then, I heard quick footsteps as though someone was running, and when I lifted my head, I caught Veronica’s scent. What exactly was she thinking that she was running? Did she forget that she was pregnant or something?Since the footsteps were drawing close, I imagined she was coming to see me in my study room and immediately placed th

[Xavier’s POV]I had been humiliated before everyone, and although I knew I could never feel the pain Layla had felt while losing our child, this was way out of bounds. I was angry, furious and never in my life had I felt so insulted.What exactly had I said that was wrong for her to hit me in the presence of my own people? That had automatically reduced the respect they possibly had for me.“She believes she has you wrapped around her fingers, that’s why she does whatever she likes these days. She knows you love her and you don’t see her wrongs,” Veronica said, while the women and servants present still looked shocked with their eyes and mouths wide open.“Everyone, calm down. Things like this happen. You can all go back to your respective homes and businesses,” I told them, brushing off what Veronica had said.“Yes, your highness,” they chorused.I turned my back around and began to leave hastily to avoid facing further embarrassment, while Veronica hurried after me, trying to pick
