The Alpha King

Chapter 18

I woke and the sun was shining directly into my eyes. My head hurt but surprisingly I felt amazing, I felt a little high to be honest and slightly drunk.

What the hell??

Oh yeah I forgot HE BIT ME! HE MARKED ME! I am going to decapitate hi-

" Please do not do that."

I screamed, I screamed so loud I think the entire mansion work up. Looking around the bedroom franticly I searched for who ever said that.

Just then the bedroom door opened and Xavier walked in. Looking even more radiant and powerful than usual. I had to suck in a breath at the wave of power that hit me from him.

After I got a hold of myself I grabbed the nearest pillow next to me and threw it as hard as I could at his face which he gracefully ducked.

"Victoria calm down."

'AHHH! What was that? Who said that! Am I going insane?! ' I shrieked, completely freaked the hell out.

' Victoria I am the one talking to you-in your mind.' He reluctantly said looking like he knew I was going to KILL HIM! Just when I was freaking out about him being king and the lies he's been feeding me now he goes and does something like this, are you kidding me?

' Victoria, I am so sorry it was the only thing I could think of to keep you even safer if I was not around. I know you are are mad at me right now but please understand everything I have ever done has been in your best interests. I have only tried to prote-'

' Just, just stop. Stop reading my mind, stop talking, stop trying to look out for my best interests, just stop all of it.' I said still sitting up in bed.

I tried really hard to try and block myself from him mentally and I think I was able to do so because I felt sort of less "invaded" in a way. I couldn't quite explain it.

I then knew I was able to do it because Xavier had a dark look on his face after.

All of a sudden I immediately realised I had to go to school!

' Get out, I am going to change and then I am going to school even if I have to walk.' I said pointing to the door. Xavier gave me one last look before turning around and striding out of the door.

I was showered and dressed within twenty minutes and headed downstairs when one of Xavier's men in black stood by the front door.

' Your majesty, my name is Luke and His Highness has order me to drive you to school for today.'

I was slightly surprised that Xavier was not going to drive me seeing as he insisted he would I guess he knew how much I wanted to be away from him and at least he respected that.

' Please just call me Tori and thank you I'm ready.' I said politely.

Luke drove me to school just as the bell rang signalling the start of the first lesson. As I was sprint walking to the doors I noticed Ethan and James tall figures standing outside waiting, perfect.

' Good morning Your Majesty we have orders to lookout for your sa-'Ethan was saying until James elbowed him in the side.

' AW! What was that for ?!' Ethan hollered, I think it was the first time I have ever heard him  raise his voice.

' Why don't you just announce it to every one in the school Genius!' James whisper yelled back.

' It's not as if anyone is going to eve-'

' Guys, seriously I'm going to be late, move! ' I said pushing through them. I turned around half way to the front door of the school and said,

' Oh and please just call me Tori not Your Majesty ' with that said I sprinted into the halls.

I was getting paranoid I'm not going to lie. The entire three lessons I had gone too every pack member of mine looked at me weirdly and not the normal kind of looks they gave me no this was different. I didn't know if I had something on my face or in my hair but then it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over my head.

Xavier's mark was not covered. And my scent was now mixed with his. Fudge my life! I quickly put my hair down and it thankfully covered it up pretty well.

I tried avoiding them as much as possible on my way to the rooftop but some still stared. As soon as I got to the roof I saw Adams back.

I rushed over to him and flung my arms around his shoulders from behind. He gave a shriek of surprise but once he turned his head and saw it was me his jaw dropped and he immediately stood up, well tried as I was hanging on to his back. I got off him but he just grabbed me and wrapped his arms around me.

Pulling away from me after giving me the longest hug in the history of hugs he yelled,

' Why did you not tell me you were going to visit your aunt down east?! I thought you had died or something only to find out FROM YOUR MUM where you actually were!'

I cringed and guilt was written clear as day on my face.

' I'm so sorry Adam. It all happened so fast and when I arrived I had no cell reception because she kinda lives in the forest but I promise to tell you if I go next time.' I lied, I felt even more guilty for lying but I can't exactly say "my mate kidnapped me ."

He seemed to have calmed down after that but he still looked slightly mad. I gave him another hug to get him to soften up to me. Which he did within like five minutes.

I promised to go to Jennifer's with him tomorrow after school and that made him feel better.

Adam kept up the chatter for both of us through out lunch and I think he sensed
that something was bothering me but as usual he didn't pry.

I was sitting in my English class when all of sudden Xavier decides to speak to me via my mind!

' Victoria, are you okay? Is everything fine? Is Ethan and Jam-'

' Xavier, what the hell! I'm in class and you almost gave me a heart attack! And yes I'm fine! ' I said back feeling super weird because  it was the first time I mind linked someone and it creeped me out. I never mind linked my pack or my Alpha, ever and I never had wanted to learn or try so I just didn't.

'Why didn't  you ever want to mind link them?' Xavier asked.

' Didn't I say not to read my thoughts.' I said whilst sighing. This guy can not take orders I swear.

' Well it is basically being shouted at me so I can't exactly help it.' He sarcastically said.

I just rolled my eyes at him even though I knew he couldn't see the action,

' Why Victoria?'  He asked again.

'Because they basically hated me for some unknown reason and stayed far far far away from me my entire life as if I had a contagious disease or something okay, that's why.' I rushed out and instantly had flashes of them shunning me and purposely giving me disgusted looks. I realised Xavier could probably see them too so I quickly blocked him.

Sighing I rested my face in my hands. I just know he's going to make a big deal out of it when I get ho- I mean to his mansion.

Luke picked me up from school and as soon as we pulled up into the mansion I dreaded going inside but a part of me couldn't wait to get close to Xavier and his intoxicating scent. I kept telling myself it was my wolf who wanted those things not me. Because I knew I was in for it and he is going to want to know everything and I'm just not ready to explain to him why they did what they did (well they still do it) because I didn't know myself.
