Enslaved To The Alpha King 22. Saving the Alpha King
[Layla’s POV]Although this was the most beautiful dress I had ever put on in my life, I felt really uncomfortable in it. It exposed a large part of my cleavage, and the high front slit showed off my thighs in a manner I didn’t like.I had complained to the etiquette coach whose name turned out to be Louisiana about the dress, but she was convinced that I needed to show off my body parts in order to attract people to me, and no, she wasn’t wrong, because so far, all eyes had been on me.It didn’t even make any sense to me as the other girls were also dressed in a provocative manner, even worse than how I was dressed, but the men paid me more attention. To think that I wasn’t even smiling like the others or seducing them, but they were all salivating upon looking at me. What wrong had I committed in my past life to be saddled with all this burden?I tried countless times to pull the dress up in order to cover my open cleavage, but that only made my thighs more visible. I was at a loss

[Xavier’s POV]“Layla, Layla,” I called, scared to death.She laid there unmoving and not saying a word. Her breathing was faint, and her body was slowly getting cold which only made me all the more apprehensive and afraid.I didn’t want to lose her. I couldn’t afford to lose her.As I held her in my arms, not caring about what anyone had to say, I shivered as I muttered a prayer to the Goddess. The attraction I felt to Layla was dampening, and she was slipping away from me.“Jeffrey, where is your father? He should be here by now!” I yelled, looking desperately at him.“He’s on his way here. For now, you should take her to a proper room with ventilation. I will get some napkins to control the bleeding,” he said.I got a hold of myself. If I couldn’t be in my right frame of mind, it would only make things worse for her. I needed to be strong for the both of us.“Stay with me, Layla,” I whispered, carrying her in my arms and began to walk hurriedly, almost running as I took her away fr

My time has come[Xavier’s POV]The cock crew again, as the sun began to rise slowly. It was another day, and soon, most people in the Palace would be up and about.I blinked my eyes rapidly then gave a loud yawn, brushing aside sleep. Layla was still very much unconscious, and I had spent the entire night watching her. Somehow, time passed by very slowly as I had been watching her lay on the bed peacefully, and even though I had dozed off at times, I was careful to not fall asleep in case if something happened to her. Thankfully, she had remained in the same position without having any seizure or convulsion whatsoever.Elsa was still snoring and sleeping with her eyes shut tightly. It was then I remembered that I hadn’t been nice enough to help her sleep properly as she just had her head placed firmly on the side of the bed. Presently, she seemed fine and comfortable with her sleeping position, but I knew that she was going to wake up with neck cramps which I felt awfully sorry for.

[Layla’s POV]My eyes opened to an unfamiliar environment. I felt numb all over, and blinking my eyes rapidly, I twitched my eyes from side-to-side wondering where I was and what was going on. The chirping of birds could be heard, and the bedroom was illuminated with bright lights. I didn’t understand why I was in such a beautiful room which must have cost a fortune to decorate, or what exactly I was doing there.Moistening my dry chapped lips, I managed to sit up on the soft bed, feeling even more weaker as I sat up. My head was spinning, and I was feeling fuzzy and somewhat nauseous.Now having a clearer look at the bedroom, I noticed that there was someone else in the room. Her head was placed on the bed while she sat on the chair, and snored softly. Wait a minute, wasn’t she Elsa?“Elsa,” I called gently.She stirred in her sleep, but didn’t wake up just yet. I tapped her lightly on the arm, and after a few minutes, she opened her eyes still acting like she wanted to sleep more.“

[Xavier’s POV]The door suddenly opened and I quickly let go of Layla whose eyes were still closed, and upon looking behind me, I heaved a deep sigh of relief when I found out that it was Jeffrey’s dad who was at the door. He was certainly not going to spread rumours about what he had just seen, and I stood up from the bed immediately to receive him.“Good morning, sir. You’re here early,” I said.“Good morning, Alpha Xavier. I am sorry if I interrupted anything,” he said.I shook my head immediately. “No, you didn’t. In fact, it’s a good thing you’re here,” I said, feeling quite nervous.“I heard that the maiden is awake, and I came to run some tests on her as well as redress her wounds,” he explained.“Sure, carry on,” I said, gesturing at the bed with my hands.“Good morning, sir,” Layla said, straightening her shoulders and fiddling with her fingers which only showed how nervous she was.“Good morning, dear. How are you feeling?” he asked.“I’m okay, but I feel weak and hungry,” s
Last Updated : 2022-09-09Enslaved To The Alpha King 27. A million different pieces
[Layla’s POV]It had been two days since I had woken up in Xavier’s bed after saving his life. I was informed that the assassin had been caught, but he had ended up dying, so there was no clue as to who had sent him to hurt Xavier in the first place.I was basically living with Xavier, seeing as I shared his room with him. According to him, he was in the process of decorating an empty room in the Palace to suit my taste, and during the time, he never slept next to me. He always left the room when it was getting dark and he was hardly ever around because he was always busy with one thing or another.Heaving a sigh, I picked at my food lacking the appetite to eat something. I was bored, and there was nothing I could do here.The sound of footsteps approaching made me sit up and lit a smile on my face. I already knew the sound of how he walked, and I couldn’t wait for him to get here.He tapped lightly on the door. “May I come in?” he inquired.“Yes, sure,” I said, grinning from ear to e

[Xavier’s POV]I had started unbuttoning my robe when I caught Veronica’s scent, and I knew instantly that she was around and was heading towards my room. I buttoned the robe back up and opened the door just as she had began to speak with the guards at the door.“Alpha Xavier,” she said, as soon as she saw me step out of the room.“Veronica, what are you doing here?” I asked.The last time I had seen her was on the day of the banquet, and I had figured that she was going to hate me for a while, but she was definitely going to come around. We had been friends for almost two decades, and I didn’t think anything could tear us apart.“Can’t I come and say hi to my friend again?” she retorted.“I’m just surprised,” I said.“Why would you be surprised? Anyway, I came to speak to you privately. May I come in?” she asked.“Uh...” I hesitated, remembering she and Layla weren’t best of friends. However, before I could give her a response, she strolled into the room leisurely.Now that she was i

[Layla’s POV]I drummed my fingers on the table as I skimmed through the books containing the criminal cases Xavier had asked me to work on. I wasn’t able to concentrate as I kept checking the clock, wondering why he wasn’t back yet.Hadn’t he said he was going to be back soon? Or had he forgotten the meaning of “soon"? He had left immediately after he parted ways with Veronica. Did it mean that the urgent thing he needed to do had to do with her? Why was she here in the first place?I really didn’t want to read any meaning into what I had seen. I mean, he knew her first and it wasn’t a big deal if someone hugged a friend. Besides, he knew I was right next door. He wouldn’t have done anything to hurt me on purpose.I knew all these, so why was I being unnecessarily jealous? It was a normal feeling, but if he found out that I was doubting him after everything, it would definitely hurt his feelings. No, I couldn’t... I shouldn’t be thinking about this right now.A knock sounded on the d

Enslaved To The Alpha King 108. And they lived happily ever after
[Author’s POV]After unlocking the door, Alpha Xavier stepped into the chamber. It was his father’s, and since he died, he had not for once entered inside for any reason whatsoever, mostly because he was ashamed to face him after being unable to find out the person who had caused his untimely death.Everything looked the same, except that dust now made it almost impossible to breathe while in there. He reminisced about a whole lot of things as he ran his eyes over all his possessions which still remained in the chamber. He should have moved in there, but he hadn’t had the heart to.Alpha Xavier took a long look at the picture frame hanging on the wall. It was of him and his father the very day he had transformed for the first time. His father looked so proud of him, and he had been extremely happy because he made his father proud.He drew out the seat next to the table, and sat there staring into the mirror and seeing his father’s reflection staring back at him. His bows and arrows hu
Enslaved To The Alpha King 107. Stay with me
“Almost a year ago, I overheard a conversation between my late uncle and the former Beta here. My uncle had found out that he had been stealing and coveting the people’s wealth, precious stones and our natural resources. Before his trip to the Dark Moon Pack, he said that if the Beta doesn’t relinquish all that he had stolen and make a public apology, as well as step down from his position, he was going to expose him in the most disgraceful manner when he came back, unknown to me that the Beta was aware that I had been eavesdropping on their conversation.“He then called me privately and twisted my mind by telling me he would make me the next Alpha King if only I kept quiet. I was stupid and greedy, so I agreed, not knowing that the price for my silence was my uncle’s life. When he died, I confronted him but he manipulated me into keeping quiet and doing all other dirty jobs for him. I stand here today to apologise for all that I did, ranging from not exposing the truth earlier on, bu
Enslaved To The Alpha King 106. Secrets exposed
[Xavier’s POV]“Your... your highness, it is not what you think,” Veronica said, falling on her knees as she shook her head in negativity.The whole world had seen her shame.“It is exactly what I think it is, you good-for-nothing deceiver. I should have known better than to trust you. You were never pregnant after all,” I roared at her angrily.“I’m sorry. I never meant to do something like this. It was my father that...”“May the goddess strike you down if my name comes out of your miserable mouth again,” her father said, as he stood up and marched to where we were, which brought about more surprised looks from the audience.“Dad!” she exclaimed, as though she had been betrayed.“Veronica!” he yelled back. “All this is your fault, and you know it. If only you had slept with him like I commanded you to, you would have truly gotten pregnant for him since you were in your fertility period, but instead, you chickened out and I had to come up with another solution,” he revealed.“Wait.

Enslaved To The Alpha King 105. Werewolves of the Shadow Pack
[Layla’s POV]I clipped the diamond earrings to my ears and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I looked really elegant, dressed in a long white dress which shone with precious stones that had been affixed onto it, with silver heels embracing my feet.I rubbed my wedding band with a smile on my face as I stood up, then began to walk out of the bedroom. Michaela, who had been trying to finish up her fries looked up, and her mouth was instantly agape as soon as she saw me.“You look so beautiful, your highness,” she said, not hiding the admiration she had for me.“Thank you, Michaela. I should look beautiful, don’t you think? Today is the day that all my enemies will be brought to their knees,” I said, then gave a small chuckle.“Yes, your highness. I am so glad this is finally drawing to an end, and you and the Alpha can be happy forever without anyone ruining your joy,” she stated.I gave a small smile. “You’re right. Peace and happiness are the two things I have always desired in
Enslaved To The Alpha King 104. It pays to be good
[Layla’s POV]I stepped into the room where Jeffrey was being treated as that was where the guard I had seen positioned at Xavier’s bedroom door said he was.He was sitting on a stool next to Jeffrey’s bed. Jeffrey still hadn’t opened his eyes, and he hadn’t even moved a single finger. Xavier looked deep in thoughts and he hadn’t even noticed my presence yet.“Hey, baby,” I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek, to notify him of my presence.He jolted from his thoughts and looked surprised on seeing me. He yawned tiredly and rubbed his eyes with his fingers.“My love, I didn’t realise you came in,” he said.“I noticed. Tell me, what’s on your mind?” I asked, drawing a seat to sit beside him.“I’m just lost in thoughts. I can’t help but wonder why someone like him would do such a thing,” he said.“Who are you talking about?” I inquired.“It’s not something you should be worried about, my love,” he said, forcing a smile on.“Well, I want to know what it is that has kept you away from me
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
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 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 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
