Enslaved To The Alpha King 96. Life's not fair
[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
Enslaved To The Alpha King 97. You made me this way
[Layla’s POV]Michaela was helping me apply some nail polish to my toenails while I sat down knitting a baby sweater, whose matching socks and cap I had already knitted.“As usual, you’re making something that looks really beautiful,” I heard a familiar voice say, and when I looked up, it turned out that the person was none other than Elsa.“Elsa!” I screamed, standing up from the bench in the gazebo, almost knocking off Michaela as I ran to hug her tightly.She hugged me back, giggling excitedly. “Layla, you smell so good. I could hug you forever, you know,” she said.“Same here. You not only smell so good, but you look incredibly good as well,” I said, then let her out of my embrace, then we stared at each other for quite some time.“I must say, it’s good to see you again. My dad tells me almost everyday that you sent your greetings through him,” she said.“Yeah. I really missed you. There are so many things I want to tell you, and I just really wanted to make sure you’re okay,” I t
Enslaved To The Alpha King 98. You never got over it
[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
Enslaved To The Alpha King 99. Throw her into the dungeon
[Layla’s POV]Once in every two months, the women gathered at the Palace while I hosted them with a feast and presented gifts to them, as well as talked to them about things which were bothering them, mostly about their husbands and kids.“I’m so glad you could all make it here today. After what happened at the cleansing ceremony, I thought you might not want to associate with me anymore,” I said, wearing a smile on my face.“And why would you think that, your highness? We know the kind of sadness that comes with seeing your period when you’re expecting a child. We overheard two of the Palace maids saying that’s what happened,” one of the women said.I tried to keep the smile which was on my face, reminding myself that the woman didn’t mean any harm with what she had said.“I’m glad you understand,” I said.“Yes. The Alpha King sent some guards to apologise us and sent us some gifts as well,” the woman whose baby had been cleansed said.“He did that?” I asked, surprised since he had n
Enslaved To The Alpha King 100. I am not okay
[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
Enslaved To The Alpha King 101. Always, Xavier, always
[Layla’s POV]I kissed him back.It was the first time since we had fought, and kissing him now made me realise how much I missed him, how much I loved him... how much I craved his touch.The kiss deepened as his tongue slipped into my mouth, hands gripping me like I was the last piece of oxygen in the world... My body reacted to it before my mind did. His grip tightened on me as I pulled him closer, feeling him grind against me from behind.Our kiss continued until we were both out of breath, panting for more. My hand roamed over his chest, slowly working its way lower. He groaned, leaning down so our foreheads met. He stared into my eyes, his own full of want and need. I moved forward again, my lips brushing against his once, twice, three times before he leaned his head down so our lips met once more, his hand still on my back.This time, it was different. It was soft at first, but quickly turned hard as a moan left his lips when I pressed down further. My lips moved against his, an
Enslaved To The Alpha King 102. It took you so long
[Xavier’s POV]I placed the box which Layla had given me carefully in the safe which always stayed hidden in my closet and looked like just a mere suitcase. No one would guess that some of my important stuff were actually there, and once I closed the door to my closet, I took out the button which had been in my pocket all day and examined it carefully once again.“Kyle. Kyle is back,” I said to myself, hearing the “welcome” greetings which they were saying to him as he hadn’t been in the Palace for a few weeks due to the special mission I had sent him on.I hurried out of my bedroom immediately and slammed the door behind me. The two guards positioned at the door started to follow me, but I told them to stop immediately.“I have a private matter to attend to. Wait for me here,” I said, and hastily left where they were.I was still walking with long strides when I bumped into Lady Millicent who was coming from the opposite direction.“Greetings, Alpha King Xavier. I’m sorry for bumping
Enslaved To The Alpha King 103. What's done is done
“What’s that supposed to mean? Answer me, come on, answer me!” I yelled at him.“Easy, dear cousin. Shouting isn’t going to change the fact that what’s done is done. In fact, if you yell at me one more time, I may choose to withhold all the information I have to give,” Roman said, sitting up on the ground which he had just been sprawled on a few minutes ago.“Leave us alone,” I said to the onlookers which consisted of the guards and the other prisoners in Roman’s cell.They all began to leave, including Kyle. “Not you, Kyle,” I said, and he stayed back while the rest left. Apparently, the prison guards were going to keep the inmates in another cell.“Want a little private chitchat with your cousin?” Roman asked, with a wink.I crouched, then taking him by surprise, grabbed him by the neck and began to strangle him while he tried to resist as he almost choked to death.“Listen to me, and listen real good. It will cost me nothing to end your life right here and now. The only one who is
