Enslaved To The Alpha King 83. The apology
[Xavier’s POV]Being in the Palace around her was getting too tiring, and I just needed somewhere else to be at that point. I needed to think things through and just see if I could go back to being my normal self which was happy before the whole child issue began.So, I raced on all fours, breezing through the woods without stopping till I got to my favourite spot back when I was little. No one could find me there, and it was a place I went to whenever I needed to be alone with my thoughts.I arrived there, and transformed back into my human form, then gasped for breath, relaxing a bit. It was a serene environment deep in the woods which I had come across about a decade and a half ago.The land was dry with no sign of life, save for a large tree which had been alive for decades, centuries even. I didn’t know how, but somehow, it wasn’t dead even though no one was looking after it, and I remember being fascinated by it the first time I ever came across this place when I had gotten lost
Enslaved To The Alpha King 84. He's not really back
[Layla’s POV]The Alpha was yet to return, and seeing as he had left in such an upset state, I was feeling really unsettled.I was getting way too overbearing, and it sometimes did seem like I was taking advantage of the fact that he loved me even though that wasn't the case."Where do you think he must have gone to?" I asked Michaela who was brushing my long hair."I don't know, your highness. He probably went to just clear his head. You don't need to be worried. I am sure he is fine wherever he is," she responded.“Michaela, do you think I’m annoying?” I inquired, staring at my sad reflection in the mirror.“No, your highness. Don’t say that. You’re just acting exactly how most women would act,” she said.“Do you mean that, or are you just saying it to please me?” I inquired.“I mean every word of what I just said, your highness,” she replied.I heaved a deep sigh. “Still, I need to apologise to the Alpha, not so?” I asked.“Do what your heart tells you to,” she said, then placed th
Enslaved To The Alpha King 85. Sooner than expected
[Xavier’s POV]I buttoned up my robe, and gave a satisfactory smile as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. A pup was going to be cleansed today after its birth a week ago. It was a ceremony we hosted for every new-born pup, and there were several events that were done on that special day. There was the naming of the pup, presenting it to the Moon Goddess in the temple, bathing of the pup by the Luna or any female elder or the wife of an elder, and so on.I hadn’t even bothered to inform Layla about the event because I was sure it would trigger her and she might start crying or something. It was for this reason I decided to go alone with Kyle and some of the other guards.“The Luna won’t be happy if she finds out there was a pup cleansing ceremony and you didn’t tell her,” Kyle said as soon as I stepped out.“I’m sure she will understand that I hid it from her for her own good,” I said, heading over to the room where Jeffrey had been placed.His aged father stood up to say his gre
Enslaved To The Alpha King 86. Can you keep a secret?
[Xavier’s POV]I knocked repeatedly on her door with so much force and aggression, as I looked around carefully to ensure that I wasn’t seen by anyone.“Yeah, who’s there?” a sleepy Veronica asked as she unlocked the door and stepped outside, rubbing her eyes as she yawned.“Veronica, I need to speak with you,” I stated.“Speak to me about what?” she asked in a calm voice then opened her eyes wider to realise that it was me. “Alpha Xavier, what are you doing here?” she inquired.“I just really needed to speak to someone badly, and I know that even though I said that I hope to never see you again, you’re the only one that can truly understand me,” I explained.A smirk played around her lips. “I’m trying so hard to refrain myself from saying I told you so right now,” she said.“Well, you did tell me, so feel free to say it,” I told her.She looked at me for a while, then shook her head in the negative. “No, I won’t. Come on in. Luckily for you, my dad isn’t around,” she said, opening th
Enslaved To The Alpha King 87. The next morning
[Xavier’s POV]The next morning, I mumbled something inaudible as the rays from the sun hit my eyes. My lashes fluttered and I opened my eyes to a new day and yawned tiredly, rubbing my eyes with a blank expression to make out why I was in bed by that time when the sun was already fully out, and wondered if Layla was feeling better now.My arm felt stiff and I rolled over to the side to see her still sleeping with her head on my arm as she curled up to a ball. A smile crept up to my face and I made to remove the hair which was covering her face.Wait a minute! Layla’s hair wasn’t black. It was golden blonde, and it was straight, not wavy. The only person who matched the person lying next to me was... was... Oh no!I blinked my eyes rapidly and looked around the room. This wasn’t any room in the Palace. The pictures on the wall were different, same as the paintings, the curtains... everything, virtually everything.“This is a dream,” I muttered to myself. “This can’t be true,” I said,
Enslaved To The Alpha King 88. You're all that I have
[Layla’s POV]The sound of the knock came again and again as I slowly opened my eyes to a new day.My body ached and I felt sore all over as I yawned and rubbed my eyes tiredly. I had cried myself to sleep last night, and not once had the Alpha come to check up on me. He was tired of my tantrums, I got it.Gazing at my sad reflection in the small mirror next to my bed, I heaved a sigh. Perhaps, it was time I came to terms with the fact that happiness wasn’t in the list of ingredients I had been created with, and just stop focusing so greatly on having a child and being a burden to everyone around me who I could tell were already tired of my whining.Knock! Knock!“Who is there?” I asked in a faint voice.“It’s me, your highness,” Michaela responded.I was so torn apart that I couldn’t even figure out that she had been the one there.“Go away,” I said, closing my eyes as though I would rather fall into another deep slumber yet again.After the cleansing ceremony yesterday, I had just r
Enslaved To The Alpha King 89. This is why
[Layla’s POV]For some reason, the Alpha had been super nice and caring towards me ever since that incident, not that he hadn’t always been caring, but there was just something different in the way he showed his care these days, but that wasn’t even what bothered me.What bothered me the most was the fact that he kept on apologising, and it had almost been three weeks since the incident occurred. I kept telling him it was okay, but he was sorry that he hadn’t come home that day. He kept saying he had made a grave mistake and that he was sorry, but I didn’t understand what he was so sorry for and I didn’t ask him about it.Things were going really great these days, and he was taking the childbirth thing really seriously and made sure I took all the drugs given to me by Jeffrey’s father. I didn’t want to say something or do anything that would ruin it. When he was ready, he would tell me what was eating him up so badly.“Greetings, love of my life,” I greeted him as I made my way to sit
Enslaved To The Alpha King 90. Goodbye
[Xavier’s POV]“What have you done?” I yelled angrily at Veronica.“What do you mean?” she asked, a smirk playing around her lips.“I should have killed you there and then,” I fumed, regretting my decision.“Then, you’d have lost the chance to become a father,” she said.I scoffed. “I don’t want to become a father with you, and I know that you’re lying... whether it is about the pregnancy or me being the father, I don’t know, but I know for a fact that you won’t succeed in whatever your plan is,” I stated.She guffawed, then smacked the gum she was chewing. “Oh, darling. I have already succeeded,” she said.“Get her out of here, and make sure she doesn’t step her foot in this Palace again. If she dares to even come close to the gate of the Palace, kill her on the spot. You have my permission,” I said, looking at Kyle and the rest of the guards who had gathered as a result of the commotion.“But you said you wanted a child,” Veronica screamed as the guards grabbed her arms and legs and
