The Alpha King

Chapter 29

Soon after Ginger left Chris came up  and sat besides my bed in one of the chairs that was already there.

He asked how I was feeling and if my pillows were all fine and if I was comfortable.

'' Sorry Victoria I know you must be hungry but Xavier said he'd bring the food up when he's done. ''

'' It's fine don't worry.''

Chris smiled softly at me his laughing lines becoming even more prominent. Chris was in his late forties but he look like he was in his late thirties. That's all thanks to the werewolf ageing.

His blonde hair was cut short yet looked as if he hadn't brushed it and he had slight stubble similar to Xavier's. I felt guilty in that moment.

I realised that I had caused everyone I love so much of pain and sleepless nights. They shouldn't of worried about me I'm no one important.

'' That's all we have done since you were taken, is worry,'' he said sighing.

'' I know and I feel so guilty.''

'' Why, you shouldn't feel guilty at all! What happened to you was not your fault!'' He said looking hurt.

''It was.'' I said thinking of how I so easily trusted Adam. I thought he was a miracle. The first person my age to want to be my friend but he was a scam.

''It wasn't. Victoria I know I shouldn't be asking you this so soon and especially because His Majesty has ordered that no one were to ask you or do anything to upset you but I have to know. What happened to you? As your father I have been going out of my mind, imaging the worst possibl-''

Just then the door slammed open and Xavier stood in the door frame, a tray of steaming food in one hand. He looked mad.

''Chris if you do not mind I would like a moment alone with my mate.'' He said, his tone clipped, eyes narrowed into slits.

Chris looked at Xavier then at me and slowly got up from his chair and walked towards the door where Xavier still stood.

Xavier for some unknown reason waited for Chris to reach the door, proceeded to wait a few more seconds and only then decided to move away and let Chris pass.

Xavier took long strides towards my bed and sat on the same chair Chris previously occupied.

He sat the tray down and looked at me. His eyes searching my face.

''Did he upset you in anyway? I warn-''

''Warned everyone to not say or do anything to upset me, I know.''

Xavier looked shocked for a moment then angry again.

''What else did he tell you or say to you?''

I pulled the covers up to my chin and sighed out loud.

''Xavier he didn't upset me okay, can I please eat now?''

He didn't seem satisfied with my answer but turned and took a plate off the tray.

I sat up quickly and reached for it but he drew the plate away from me?
