Alpha King

Chapter 22

I walk around the manor with my long black dress flowing behind me, I can here Xavier a couple rooms down the hall talking to someone. I ignore the fact and keep walking, I can feel a burning like sensation on my neck but I ignore it. I push open a set of doors and end up in Xavier's office, he has his back to me and the person he's taking to is facing me. I can see the outline of his face, the sharp jawline and piercing eyes. "May" I hear him say and watch as a small smile crawls up his lips. I then watch as Xavier turns around and flashes me an award winning smile, "May" he says and looks me up and down. I watch as Colton looks me up and down too but then stops, "what's that's" he says. I freeze and look at both of them "what's, what?" I ask and watch as Xavier's smile grows and as Colton's small smile drops. "May," Xavier says and walks toward me "Your mark its-it's gone" he finishes. I reach up and touch my neck and walk over to the mirror above the flowers by the door, flashes of what Xavier and I did in this area come back to me and I blush. I look in the mirror and notice that Xavier's right my marks gone, I exhale and smile. "No more forced mark" I say and smile as I turn around, but I notice there faces. "What's wrong now" I say and watch as Xavier looks at Colton and makes a 'the floors yours' gesture causing Colton to clear is throat "Your going to need to pick soon" Colton says and looks me dead in the eyes "and hopefully you pick with your heart and what's right for everyone" he finishes and looks at me one more time. "I have lots of work being the King and all so, I'm going to head back to my castle now. May I have had your stuff dropped off for the time being but remember this weekend your mine" he says and picks up a briefcase and fixes his watch before he leaves.

Xavier turns to me "I wasn't to sure where you'd want to sleep, any ideas?" He asks. I stare past him "there's a room right across from mine or we could share mine? It really doesn't matter just what ever makes you comfortable" I look at him, "My own room please" I say and smile lightly. I look at him and start to walk towards the entrance I came through "okay, I think I already had your stuff sent there, but go get washed up for dinner. You've been wandering the halls all day, and only the moon goddess knows where you went. I'd also start packing for this weekend seeing as it's Thursday and you'll be leaving late Friday afternoon. Sound good babe". I had been totally out of it until he called me babe and I felt my stomach get all giddy "sounds good, loser" I say as I smile and walk out of his office.

Once upstairs I push open the bedroom door straight across from Xavier's room, and I like that unlike the castle where the Kings room is all by it self there's multiple rooms in this one hall.
I unzip the back of my dress and slide it off, my heels come off shortly after. I pull on a nice light and baggy white dress with little dark blue elephants that are 'walking' across the bottom. I then pull on my hair and let it flow freely, I glance at the clock and notice that I have about half an hour until dinner so I lay down in the bed and close my eyes.

I slowly blink, and open my eyes fully. I sit up and look around the room, at the end of the bed theres a bench and on the bench there's a tray, with a lid over it. I pull the blankets back and expose my tan legs to chilly air, I glance at the clock and look at the red letters that flash 9:46 pm. I walk down to my food tray and pick up a slip of paper that's been folded neatly, I open it up and in neat yet sloppy handwriting I read 'I've gone to bed, if you need anything you know where I'll be -Xavier' I lifted the lid to my food and smiled at the caesar salad that was sitting there. I picked up my fork and ate a little bit at a time, until I was finished. I then placed the lid back over the tray and wandered into my walk in closet, I stripped out of my nightgown and threw on a pair of light grey sweat pants and a baggy white shirt. Closing the closet door behind me, I make my way over to my bed to get some rest.

I've been tossing and turning since 10 and I still can't fall asleep, I roll over and glance at the alarm clock on the bed stand and inwardly groan when, the red lights blink 12:59 am. I kick the blankets off from over top of me and and swing my legs over the edge of the bed, I run my hand through my hair and stand up. I push open my bedroom door and walk into the hallway, once out, I walk over to Xavier's door. But then I notice that you need either a key or finger print to get in. I try the door and jiggle the handle but I get nothing, I then look around for a key but realize that there's no where to hide one. Finally, I sigh and try the finger scanner, I press my thumb to the scanner and smile when I hear a click. Pushing open the door with one hand, I take a step into his room. My eyes immediately fall on his sleeping body, all wrapped up in blankets. His arm is slung one way on the bed and the other one is holding the pillow underneath his head, his body is relaxed as he lays on his stomach.
