Enslaved To The Alpha King 69. The picnic
[Layla’s POV]Dressed in a tank top, black leather trousers and boots, I headed outside to the stable where the Alpha had said he would be waiting for me. It was afternoon and we were going to have a picnic, and for the first time in weeks, I was actually excited about something and couldn’t stop beaming.“You look beautiful,” Samantha said, accompanying me.“This is like the billionth time you’ve said that. Again, thank you. Sure you don’t want to come?” I inquired.She shook her head in the negative. “No, not at all. I can’t go anywhere unless the Alpha orders me to,” she replied.“Okay, then. I’ll save you some snacks,” I said.She gave me a toothy grin. “I’ll be expecting it. Thank you, Layla,” she said.I looked from side to side, and heaved a sigh as I stepped outside and headed towards the stable where I saw the Alpha standing and speaking to one of his servants, with a magnificent white horse standing next to him.“Greetings, Alpha Raven,” I said.He stopped speaking for a whi
Enslaved To The Alpha King 70. Let's be friends
[Xavier’s POV]She was shivering terribly, but I didn’t let go of her. The surface of the water was terribly frozen, but since I could feel my legs swinging below the water, it was clear that although the water was cold, if we stayed under, we would be able to swim back to the shore.I swam below as well, still holding her in my arms and as we both held our breaths, I was able to swim back to the shore and I lifted her out of the water and onto the sandy soil. I helped her sit up, and she began to cough out all the water that had gotten into her system as I patted her back.The horses which we had heard stampeding turned out to be ridden by some guards I recognised were from the Dark Moon Pack, and they looked like they had a message for the Alpha as their leader approached him while the rest stood at a notable distance.“You scared me,” I said, when she was done with coughing out the water.Instead of meeting my eyes, she turned away and glared at the Alpha who just stood there watch
Enslaved To The Alpha King 71. Breaking free
[Layla’s POV]“Ouch!” I yelped, as the razor blade I was using to carve my brows slightly brushed against my skin, and very little blood popped out.“Are you okay?” Xavier asked, opening the door immediately.“Yes, I’m fine. It’s just a scratch. You don’t have to always barge in at every sound you hear,” I chided.“Maybe you should stop reacting too seriously to every little thing, so you don’t get me worried,” he said.“Why should you be unnecessarily worried? We’re just friends,” I retorted, partly because I knew he hated it when I said that.“Thanks for reminding me, but friends actually do worry about each other. It’s not a big deal,” he said, and with a shake of his head, proceeded to walk out of my bedroom.“Aren’t you going to put on your shirt?” I inquired as he turned his back to leave.“Samantha offered to add it to your laundry, so I have to be shirtless for a while,” he explained.“Just say that you love the attention you get from the maids whenever you’re not wearing a sh
Enslaved To The Alpha King 72. When it comes to her
[Xavier’s POV]“Who’s there?” the leader of the night patrol asked. His voice was loud and clear.I pulled Layla whose heart was thumping loudly to my chest. “Don’t look up,” I whispered to her, then turned to face the group of guards who had gotten to where we were standing.“Xavier?” he called, realising it was me.For some reason, it irked me when someone who wasn’t Layla referred to me without adding honorifics.“Greetings, Leader Aaron.”“Do you know what time it is? Instead of standing here and frolicking with a maiden, you should be busy guarding the Alpha King's concubine. I will make sure this is reported in the counsel meeting tomorrow. This act will definitely not go unpunished,” he threatened.“Layla is currently having a swell time with the Alpha right now. I was just fooling around. There’s no need for you to report this matter,” I said.“No matter what your reason is, it still doesn’t change the fact that you left your duty post. Maiden, show your face. I must report bo
Enslaved To The Alpha King 73. The escape
[Layla’s POV]I was tired of being the reason Xavier couldn’t do things that was for the good of his Pack. I just wanted him to get his people out of here by any means possible.“Save your people, Xavier,” I said.The look in his eyes showed that he was sorry, but I didn’t know why... at least, not yet.“Don't mind me, just protect your people,” I said.He nodded his head to show that he understood exactly what I was saying, and I put on a brave smile even though I was scared of dying.His grip which had softened tightened once again around the neck of the bell-ringer, and the apologetic look in his eyes was replaced by a look of determination.“Do what you will with her,” he said, and in a blink of an eye, pushed the man to the floor making him crash heavily with a thud and with his fangs, cut off the rope.“You thought I was joking, didn’t you? Now, Layla will suffer the consequences of your disobedience,” my captor said and swiped the knife in his hands at my neck, as I trembled in
Enslaved To The Alpha King 74. For as long as I live
[Xavier’s POV]For as long as I lived, I was never going to forget the smile Layla had on her face immediately she saw that I had returned, maybe not in one piece, but at least, I was alive.“Xavier,” she said, as she ran to meet me before I got to where she was and embraced me tightly.I had been raging with fury just some minutes ago, but my heart melted as she engulfed me with her warmth.“You’re alive. I’m so glad you’re alive,” she said, heaving a sigh of relief.I smiled, softly stroking her hair. “Well, I’m glad you’re glad,” I said.Suddenly, she pulled away from my embrace and surprisingly began to hit me on the chest with a deep frown plastered on her face. It didn’t hurt, not even in the slightest bit, but I held her clenched fist wondering why she was doing that to me.“Let me go, you asshole,” she said.“Did she just call the Alpha an asshole?” someone wondered aloud.“Did I do something wrong?” I inquired, still holding her hand.She hit me once with her other hand, agai
Enslaved To The Alpha King 75. The one true Alpha King
[Xavier’s POV]“What is going on there?” Roman asked in a loud voice as he stepped out.We had gotten to the Palace, but the guards were refusing to let us in, and that had caused a serious argument amongst us all. As we walked, other members of the Pack who were curious to know what was going on had followed us to the Palace.Everything had completely changed, and Roman had turned the Shadow Pack upside down. The elders were just a bunch of thieves ruling the people now, and I heard the stories from the members of the Pack as we stormed over to the Palace.The Pack which was once rosy had turned into a den of suffering and poverty; the Beta, Roman and most of the other elders were exploiting the people and had increased their taxes by over thirty percent, rogues had been employed to wreck havoc upon those who couldn’t afford to meet up with the payment of their taxes, and the high class ones were basically living off the hard work of the Omegas.It was just like in the olden days, an
Enslaved To The Alpha King 76. Be my Luna
[Xavier’s POV]“What?” everyone chorused, shocked to the bone.“Even the Moon Goddess acknowledges her as the best one for me, so who are you to think that you are better than her?” I asked, looking Veronica deep in the eyes.She seemed like she couldn’t believe her ears, and kept on shaking her head in denial. “So, all this time... all this time, you’ve known she is your mate, why did neither of you say anything about it?” Veronica inquired.“That is none of your business. Henceforth, my mate will no longer be addressed as a slave, or the daughter of a traitor. She is to be addressed as Layla Clayton, or the Alpha’s mate. Also, her family is hereby exonerated from the death of my father and they can freely return back to the Pack,” I announced.There were murmurs from the crowd as they seemed to strongly disagree with my last statement.“I have good reason to believe that they aren’t responsible for the death of my father. Someone else is, and I’ll find out who that person is and beh
