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
Enslaved To The Alpha King 91. It's me
[Layla’s POV] I sat down in the shade of the compound I had grown up in, thinking about whether I had made the right choice or not. Leaving Xavier had been the hardest thing I had done in so long, and I was missing him terribly already. “Stay put. If you move, I’ll get even more angry with you,” my father’s voice echoed after my stepmother lied against me to him. As each sound of the whip landed on my back, the tears that fell from my eyes multiplied. “That’s enough. Someone needs to go get me mushrooms, how will she see her way to the farm if her eyes are blinded by tears?” my stepmother asked, and my father stopped beating me terribly. He panted heavily. “You should thank the Moon Goddess. If you ever refuse to do anything in this house ever again, I will send you to the very place your mother is,” he threatened. Usually, he would watch my brothers and stepmother beat me, but not involve himself, but that day, he seemed to be in a bad mood and was only taking his frustration ou
Enslaved To The Alpha King 92. Do whatever you want
[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.
Enslaved To The Alpha King 93. I am not pathetic!
[Layla’s POV]I could feel myself literally hyperventilating as the person covering my mouth with his cold strong hand revealed himself to be no one other than my eldest stepbrother, Brody.“If you promise to keep quiet, I’ll let you go,” he said, breathing heavily.It had been so long since I had felt his presence close to me. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreaded him and feared him the most out of all my siblings. I was afraid whenever he came close to me because he always did something to hurt me, whether or not I provoked him.I nodded my head, showing that I promised him that I wouldn’t make a noise.After much hesitation, he finally let me go, and pushed me onto the bed where I collapsed and began to pant heavily, not sure I was relieved even though he had just let me go. I could perceive danger, and I wondered what Kyle could possibly be doing at the moment that he hadn’t noticed Brody's presence in the house.“Listen, you absolutely can not tell anyone that you saw me, you
Enslaved To The Alpha King 94. Don't give up
[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
Enslaved To The Alpha King 95. In the name of my mother
[Xavier’s POV]I sat in the gazebo, drinking a bottle of alcohol directly from its bottle instead of pouring it into a cup. I was waiting for Jeffrey’s father to come and tell me the result of the test, while also waiting for Kyle to come back after doing the errand I had sent him on.Just then, I felt my heart flutter and the attraction began to surge really quickly as though Layla was close to me. I shook my head, wondering why my mind was choosing to play tricks on me and thought it must be the alcohol just setting in, but that didn’t stop me from raising the bottle to my lips again to take in a long sip.However, a hand held the bottle just as it touched my lips, and I turned my head to regard the intruder. To my surprise, it was Layla I saw standing right there with a smirk playing around her lips.I blinked my eyes rapidly, believing I was seeing things and lifted a finger to poke her a little in the arm. She was there, she was right there in the flesh and blood.“Layla!” I excl
