บททั้งหมดของ Enslaved To The Alpha King : บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

[Xavier’s POV] She had been sleeping for about five hours now and once in a while, she stirred in her sleep and muttered just a single word: “Mum". In more ways than one, she reminded me of myself as that was how I used to think about my mum while growing up, believing in my heart that things would have been better for me if she was around. I never even got to know my mother, but at least, she did, but unlike me, she had had to suffer for this long simply because she was formed out of adultery. Hearing the sound of footsteps, I stood up, eager to hear the news from the Pack’s doctor, George Harvey who was Jeffrey’s dad as well. “Are you done with conducting the tests? Is she going to be all right?” I inquired. “Yes, she will be. Her blood and sugar level are just low, and she has been experiencing several levels of pain and fatigue in the last few days. She will be fine once she takes the potion I made and it would be good if she eats and rests well for the next one week, so as to

[Xavier’s POV] The atmosphere felt awkward. I had sent for Jeffrey and although he had shown up, neither of us had the humility to speak to the other first. We just sat separately in the living room, each on different sofas without saying a word. I knew he was mad at me and he had every reason to, but I had so much ego and I couldn’t just swallow my pride and tell him how sorry I was. “Your lunch is here,” a guard announced, finally breaking the silence. I nodded my head, gesturing for the food to be brought in. Two young Palace maids served the food on the dining table, and the Royal taster tasted the food before they finally left. I stood up and went to the dining table, then drew out my chair after which I sat down. “Aren’t you going to eat?” I asked, speaking to him for the first time since that day. He flashed me a cold glance. “I’m not hungry,” he retorted, but his stomach rumbled just in that moment. I chuckled. “Nature sure has a way of exposing you. I know you’re mad a

[Xavier’s POV] I was mad at myself for showing even the littlest affection for Layla even though two days had already passed. She had made me feel stupid and I was glad that I had made the right decision about what to do with her at the end of it all, but was it really her fault though? Only one person was to be blamed for all these, and that was no other person than the Moon Goddess, who for some reason, had thought it wise to mate me with a family member of the same people who had murdered my father in cold blood. Because of that sudden realisation, I had felt weak for a while and had let myself show care for someone I should hate. Everyday since I found out about Layla being the mate I hadn’t found for two years, seeing as I had turned eighteen two years ago, I always muttered curses at the goddess for being so selfish, manipulative and unreasonable. It was as though she just did whatever she pleased sometimes because she had control over our lives, not minding whether it would a

[Xavier’s POV] After yesterday’s incident, I had been left in a thoughtful stage. Several thoughts kept running through my mind, and I was wondering if I was sure that I wasn’t making a mistake. Neither of Layla’s family members had been judged unfairly in the past which was a motive for them to kill my father, and the letters we found stashed in my father’s pockets confirmed exchange of correspondence between two people who were plotting to have my father killed. I had never really taken it into consideration, but it was highly likely that Layla’s family hadn’t planned the whole thing on their own. As it was stated in the diary, someone her brother worked for had asked him to do something that wasn’t in line with his work, and even though he had initially refused, he had ended up accepting the offer in order to foot the bills of his pregnant wife. If that was truly the case, I needed to find out whoever must have contacted him as that person was also guilty of treason, and I was als

[Xavier’s POV]Every year, a banquet is held to celebrate the bond between my pack, the Shadow Pack and its neighbouring Packs: the Blood moon Pack, the Crescent Pack and the Golden crest Pack. We were neighbours and the banquet was usually held in any of our territories to further facilitate and promote peace and unity amongst us.This year, it was the Shadow Pack’s turn to host the banquet, and since it was coming up in five days time, I had sent my messengers to inform the notable Alphas of the other Packs of a meeting I would love to have with their representatives, so that we could fully make preparations on what to do and how to make it a big event like it always was.“Greetings, Alpha King Xavier, the emissaries from the neighbouring Packs have all arrived and they are waiting in the throne room to see you,” a guard announced, invading my thoughts.“What about our Pack’s elders? Are they around yet?” I inquired.“Yes, your highness. They have been around for some time now,” he
