The Alpha King

Chapter 12

I must admit the food was good, really good and I hate to admit it but I enjoyed supper. Probably because Xavier wasn't there.

I was quite surprised to find his staff/ pack members really friendly and welcoming. They all spoke to me and we actually got along, how surprising people actually enjoyed my company and they were nothing like their demanding, rude jerk faced Alpha. But then again only a few of his pack members accompanied him here on his trip the Beta was probably handling things for him back home. I'm sure his warriors won't be so friendly let's hope I don't get relocated and he doesn't decide to take me back with him.

I can't begin to think about what his real home must look like if this one is just a temporary base. Damn how can you be that rich?

I was on my way upstairs and to our bedroom, I know. I was going to rebel and sleep in one of the guest bedrooms but every single door was locked apart from the ones that are already occupied.

I still refused to share a bed with Xavier so I decided to sleep on the couch instead and he can just get over it.

**********

I was so warm and I felt so peaceful and comfortable. Strange I never knew sleeping on a couch could be so comfy. I wrapped my arms around my hard pillow...wait hard?

I instantly opened my eyes to find two staring straight back at me, I screamed and sat straight up.

'' WHAT TH-''

Xavier pulled me back down and twisted his body so his upper BARE chest was half on me. He then had the audacity to shove his face in my neck and smell me.

I was shocked for about two seconds then reality kicked in and I tried, key word tried to push him of me by his shoulders but he didn't even budge.

' Your scent drives me insane' he murmured. My hair was spilling all over the pillow and on half of his face.

I honestly didn't know what to say to that. Everything about him was overpowering my senses.

' I would like to know how I got from sleeping on the couch to in your bed.'
I said this while pushing his face out of my neck.

' You are my mate why would I let you sleep on the couch or any where else where I am not?' He just stared at me blankly like I should of known this, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

'Hmmm, let me see, maybe because we don't know each other, we just met and I don't like you right now because you kidnapped me.'

' I did not kidnap you, I have every right to take what's mine.'

What is his problem why does he always do this. I'm not his property so he should stop referring to me as 'his'.

I just gave him a disgusted look and wiggled out of his hold. I walked into the bathroom and made sure to slam the door a bit.

He frustrates me so much. He acts so prim and proper all the time and constantly expects me to just be okay with whatever he demands and it's getting on my nerves.

When I came out of the bathroom Xavier was no where to be seen thankfully. I changed in peace and headed down the stairs and into the kitchen for some much needed breakfast.

I don't know why but food always seemed to calm me down and make me happy again. It was like equivalent to a happy pill for me.

" Is there anything else you need Miss Miguel?" Grace asked. She was the chef and sort of the head of Xaviers mansion. She was an elderly lady and the sweetest person.

I looked up from my now empty plate and smiled at her fondly.

" No thank you and the breakfast was extremely delicious."

" Oh I'm just so glad I finally get to cook for someone now." Her eyes shone and little wrinkles appeared at the side of her eyes and around her mouth as she smiled again.

" Well don't you get to cook for Xavier?" Surely she cooks for him as well.

"Alpha Xavier Decesare prefers meat preferably raw."

" What? Surely he must I mean yeah he's part wolf and has to eat raw meat but doesn't he also eat like ordinary food?"

" I can't say Miss Miguel. I guess it's just what he likes, no?"

" Hmmm, I guess, makes sense he's a blood thirsty carnivore."

Grace looked at me with her big green eyes in slight shock for a second then laughed a little and started wiping the counter.

I guess she's never heard anyone call her scary Alpha a blood thirsty carnivore before, oh well.

I offered Grace my help in cleaning up and she literally almost had a heart attack and said it was not my place and that I should never lift a finger and if she caught me doing any form of cleaning she'd be very upset so I decided to not stress her out further and wandered outside into Xaviers beautiful garden.

I sat down on a bench near the fountain and closed my eyes inhaling the scent of flowers and nature.

I lifted my face towords the sun and closed my eyes truly enjoying the feeling of its warm rays on my skin.

I didn't even realise I was smiling until I heard a deep voice.

" Beautiful."

Opening my eyes and frowning I turned to look at Xavier.

" Pardon?"

" I said you are beautiful." Xavier replied while taking a seat next to me.

I felt warmth on my face and knew he was looking at me again. My skin practically pickled due to his close proximity.

" Not as beautiful as your garden." I said once again looking at the beautiful scenery infront of me.

" It's our garden."

" I'm not going to reply because I'm not in the mood to argue with you."

I turned to look at him and found him already looking at me with furrowed eyebrows, God he was beautiful.

" Why would you have to argue with that, it is yours."

He was genuinely confused but I was not going to explain to him that I wasn't his and I most certainly wasn't going to start calling all his stuff ours. It's his mansion, his garden, his bedroom and everything else here is his. My stuff is at home where I live, with Ginger and Chris. We are not a couple and that's that.

" Just be quiet for once and enjoy the view." I snapped back turning my face back around to face the front.

" I am enjoying the view."

I was literally ready to push him off the bench but as soon as I turned towords him he grabed my face and slammed his mouth onto mine!

His soft lips were moving against mine and he was demanding entry to my mouth. He bit my bottom lip and as I let out a small gasp he plunged his tongue inside my mouth.

Before I knew it I was kissing him back and my god it was amazing. I have never before in my life experienced such a feeling.

I didn't even know what I was doing it was my first kiss but I was following his lead.

He groaned against my mouth and I reluctantly pulled away from his lips to get air before I passed out.

When I opened my eyes I saw his grey ones staring back at me with so many emotions I was momentarily paralysed.

It was like I was lost inside a storm of grey clouds. Unable to move, unable to look away, the heat was closing in on me and I felt warm all over, suffocating in the depths of his very being, my stomach was up in my throat.

And then it hit me and I realised if I get lost forever in the storm then I'll end up destroying myself and him.

Before I stayed and changed my mind I got up and ran off inside. Leaving Xavier alone in a beautiful garden of flowers.
