The Alpha King

Chapter 32

Xavier and I made our way down to the basement/cells that he had in his mansion. Xavier informed me that that was where they held any prisoners. Seeing as Xavier rarely ever visited this mansion of his he had people who ran it and it was also used for council meetings and all this other werewolf stuff sort of like a headquarter or embassy.

As we went down the stairs leading to the basement Xavier took ahold of my hand in silent reassurance and I squeezed his back.

My heat was pounding and I was honestly so nervous. What if this was part of Cadmers plan? What if he wanted us to catch Adam? Was this his way to capture me again?

I couldn't help but think that it was to easy, catching Adam was to easy and why?

We walked to the end of the hallway where cells on either side where empty. I immediately noticed two weres standing guard outside the cell right at the very end of the hallway and I couldn't help but shiver. Just the thought of seeing Adam so suddenly makes me feel sick I can't even think straight. If it weren't for Xavier's hand supporting me right now I would of collapsed.

Xavier strode  ahead and I was slightly behind him, he continued to hold onto my hand.

Xavier's breathing increased and I noticed his stance became increasingly aggressive. I didn't even have to look into his eyes to know they were filled with murder and rage.

" Open the door," he demanded and the guards obeyed immediately. Mumbling a quick thanks to them I stepped inside the cell and came face to face with my once best friend.

My heart really hurt.

Adams face was heavily bruised and battered but I felt no sympathy. He looked straight into my eyes and continued to stare at me, completely ignoring Xavier.

" YOU DARE LOOK AT HER?!" Xavier bellowed completely breaking the tense silence. Adam causally glanced at him as if only now noticing his presence.

Xavier didn't miss the disrespect and growled low and threateningly in his throat.

Adam was so stupid he actually had the guts to scoff at him and in the blink of an eye Xavier was before him with his fist enclosed around Adams throat.

Xavier was shaking, he was beyond any reasoning at this point. I stood still in slight shock at his menacing behaviour and how utterly terrifying he looked. His power filled the cell easily and it became so overwhelming that I knew I had to bring him back to some sort of reasonable behaviour before he kills Adam who happened to be our only lead at this point!

I quickly walked up to where Xavier was leaning over Adam, who sat chained in a chair, gasping furiously for breath. He was turning purple and his veins began to pop out, he looked like he would burst any second now.

I touched the back of Xavier's shoulders to try to get his attention but he continued to choke the life out of Adam so I said his name out loud and that finally drew his attention away from Adam.

With his fist still enclosed around Adams throat he turned his head sideways at me and his eyes were so dark blue they almost looked black in fact I think they were black.

I sucked in a quick breath and touched his face.

" Xavier...please come here for a second...I-I need you," I said softly. I didn't know what else to say to shake him out of his bloodlust.

He tiled his head to the side a bit, a complete animalistic thing to do and then his eyes slowly started turning back to a lighter shade of  blue. He thrust his fist forward and Adam still chained to the chair went flying backwards onto the ground.
