Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY- ONE
"What does protecting me have to do with this when you just endangered my life? Have you not heard what people say about him? His ruthlessness, his unforgiving personality, his need to repay people with evil. Do you want me to go on and on?" I said, my voice low and heartbroken. The betrayal and confusion I felt were almost too much to bear."I did it to protect you, Alyssa," she repeated, the same justification she had been giving since we came back home. Her words felt hollow, like a mantra she was trying to convince herself of as much as she was trying to convince me."Then explain to me how what you just did has protected me. You should have just left me with him," I said, turning away to look out the window. The view outside was a blur, my mind too preoccupied with the turmoil within to register anything else."You would be safer with him. He would protect you. Forget what everyone is saying about him; he can never hurt you," she insisted, but her words felt like they were meant
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY- TWO
--Alyssa--It was already morning, and I had woken up at 2 a.m. to see if I could run away again, but what I saw shocked me. There was a guard stationed in front of my bedroom door and another beside my window. My heart sank as I realized escape was impossible.I had cried the entire night, leaving my eyes puffy and red. My tears were a mixture of frustration and helplessness. I had told Grandma not to come into my room again, so she had retreated to her own room, respecting my wish for solitude. This isolation, though self-imposed, only added to my sense of despair.It was now time to go, and the bags I had packed were being held by one of the Alpha King's maids. She had arrived early in the morning, introducing herself with a politeness that felt out of place given the circumstances. Her presence was a stark reminder of my lack of control over my own life. I was furious, but I kept my calm, knowing that anger would do nothing to change my situation.Outside, people were milling abou
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY- THREE
--Alyssa---My mate was seated in front of the car, with his mother beside me. I didn't want to look at anyone, so I turned my gaze out the window, trying to distract myself with the passing scenery. Before we entered the car, his face had been stoic, showing no emotion. Now, tears threatened to come out, but I held them in. I didn't want them to see me as weak.His mother glanced at me occasionally, making me feel uncomfortable. It was as if she was trying to read me, trying to understand what was going on in my mind. Her scrutiny made the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive.The journey had stretched on for over two hours, and I was exhausted. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. I was scared—what if they did something to me while I was asleep? My mind was a whirlpool of anxious thoughts, making it impossible to find any peace.My stomach growled loudly, breaking the silence and adding to my embarrassment. Everyone in the car could hear it, even his bet
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY- FOUR
--Alyssa--We were back in the car, and I was so full from the meal. As I settled into my seat, a call came through, and I wondered who it was for.Xavier pulled out his phone from his pocket. “Hello,” he said, his voice calm but authoritative. “Yes, please bring in dresses that are from size 12, and they should be done before I get there,” he said in a serious tone, leaving no room for argument.I wondered who the dresses were for. He ended the call, and once again, the car was silent.“What’s your favorite food?” Xavier’s mom asked me suddenly, breaking the silence. I was shocked because, throughout the car ride, she hadn’t said anything to me.“Are you talking to me?” I asked, wanting to make sure that I was the one she was addressing. Throughout the whole car ride, we had all minded our own business, and I had barely interacted with her. From the little short trip, I had noticed that she seemed like a nice person, but this was still unexpected.“Yes, Alyssa,” she said, using my na
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY- FOUR
--Alyssa--"Dear, this is your personal maid," Caroline, Xavier’s mother, said with a kind smile. She gestured towards the young woman who had come to my house earlier today."She is called Lily," she continued, and I nodded in acknowledgment. Lily was a petite woman with a calm demeanor, her brown eyes warm and inviting. She wore a simple yet elegant maid’s uniform, and her presence was reassuring."Good night. I will see you tomorrow," Caroline said, her voice gentle as she bid me farewell. I nodded again, watching her leave.Now, it was just me and Lily. The dining room had emptied, leaving a sense of quietude that felt both comforting and isolating. I wondered where I was supposed to sleep tonight. Was I staying here in this grand dining room? The question hung in my mind as I glanced around, taking in the opulent surroundings."I will show you to your room, Luna," Lily said, her voice respectful and soothing. I nodded, grateful for her guidance. Finally, I would be alone, a chanc
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY - SIX
--Alyssa--The Alpha King stood there shirtless, his chiseled muscles glistening under the soft glow of the room’s lighting. I stood just a few feet away, clutching my towel tightly, desperately trying to maintain some semblance of modesty. His gaze roamed over my body, making me feel exposed and vulnerable.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and uncertainty. My heart pounded in my chest, and a cold dread settled over me. The thought flashed through my mind that he might be here to take away my virginity, and I felt a wave of panic.He took a step closer, and I instinctively took a step back, my hands gripping the towel even tighter. “This is my room as well,” he said in a low voice, the warmth of his breath brushing against my neck and sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. The proximity of his body and the intensity of his presence were overwhelming.I continued to back away until I hit the wall. Trapped, I could only watch as he moved pa
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY - SEVEN
--Alyssa--I woke up on the sofa, my back aching from the uncomfortable position. I glanced at the bed, scanning for any sign of the ruthless man. All he could have done was to find another room for himself or stay out of sight. The room was empty. To be sure, I sniffed the air; his scent was absent.Feeling a wave of relief, I stood up happily. Almost immediately, there was a knock on the door."Come in," I called out, already recognizing Lily’s scent from the other side.She entered and bowed slightly. "Luna, are you ready to take your bath?" she asked, waiting patiently for my response. The formalities and the title felt so foreign to me, still something I was getting used to."Yes," I replied, partly because I wanted to explore and find a way to execute my escape plan as soon as possible. Not everyone knew my face, so walking past the guards without being noticed seemed feasible.Lily led me to the bathroom, and I followed. "I will prepare the Jacuzzi for you," she said, opening a
Her Alpha King CHAPTER TWENTY - EIGHT
--Alysaa--Lily and I had a chat because I was feeling bored and lonely at the same time. I knew it was time for breakfast, but I didn't want to go. However, she mentioned that the others were slow eaters, so anytime I went there, I would definitely see someone eating.As we talked, Lily shared more about herself. She explained that she was chosen from a young age to be in charge of taking care of the Luna. She said she had studied a lot: hairstyling, makeup, learning how to fight, using a gun, and other skills that surprised me. I felt a pang of pity for her because her childhood had been deprived of normalcy. But she saw it as a good thing, noting that her family could live comfortably because of the benefits that came with her role.“Let’s go,” she said, closing the door behind me as we left the room."Can I just eat in the kitchen?" I asked, hoping she would agree. It wasn't that I disliked the others; I just didn't want to talk to anyone. Being around them wouldn't alleviate my l
