The Alpha King

Chapter 34

"He killed your parents Tori."

My heart stopped dead in my chest.

My entire body went ice cold as his words sliced through me like a knife. He killed my parents! He-he actually murdered my parents?! The man who was within my grasp took the only joy I've ever felt from me! He ruined my life! He brought about my suffering and enjoyed it!

All this time I though my parents died in a tragic car accident I guess I was wrong. I think I was going into shock because I couldn't hear anything I couldn't focus on anything besides those words, ringing inside of my head.

Not even the torture hurt this much if he really wanted to break me he should of just told me what he had done to my parents. My beautiful, loving, full of life parents.

I felt strong arms going around me and still I didn't respond. I felt so numb. I didn't even register as I was being  lifted into the air into the arms of Xavier. He turned around with me in his arms bridal style and left Adams cell.

The guards  stationed outside locked the cell door and resumed their positions. Xavier continued to hold me as he walked to what I assumed was our bedroom. All the time not saying a word.

I leaned into his touch more and listened to his heart raging against his rib cage. I would of never been able to tell how worked up he was from his calm facial expression but his heartbeat and his stormy eyes said more than enough.

Xavier carried me right up to our bed and then he proceeded to sit down on it, his back resting on the headboard and me still in his arms.

" Do whatever you need to; cry, scream, rage... Whatever you need to do right now, do it. " Xavier said softly as he rested his chin on the top of my head.

I couldn't help it as a tiny sniffle escaped me and then another came out and I was trying desperately to hold them all in but it only made everything worse and before I knew it,  I burst out into tears.

I turned around in his arms and flung my hands around his neck. Sniffling into his neck I tried to speak,

" Ho-how could h-he do that?" I cried while Xavier squeezed me tighter into him.

" He hates us Buttercup. Hate makes people do all kinds of awful things." He whispered softly.

"He-he ruined me Xavier! I'm ruined! " I cried louder feeling completely  overwhelmed. All the torture sessions came back to me in a painful rush and I couldn't handle it I began gasping for breath my entire body seized up and then shook.

Xavier's eyes widened and he quickly grabbed my arms.

" Victoria, shhhhh, it's okay, shhhhh, Victoria, love are you okay? It's okay, let it all out, I am here." Xavier said in a rush as he rubbed my arms and wiped my tears.

I continued to cry however I started to calm down when he started stroking my hair and whispering soothing words into my ear.

His voice and his touch had such an effect on me that before I knew it my crying had stopped and my shaking had subsided but he still continued to soothe me.

" Xavier he has hurt me so much, " I whispered.

" I know."

" Remember the day I marked you?" I asked looking up into his eyes which held a twinge of pure delight and mischief in them.

" How could I ever forget that day Buttercup, it's ingrained in my memory."

" Well good but remember what happened earlier on that day? You know when I was at school and you asked why I didn't even want to mind link my pack or have anything to do with them? "

" Yes I remember now. We didn't quite get around to talking about that did we?"

" No we didn't but I'm going to tell you now. The reason was because I never felt like a part of them. They would always purposely exclude me and not invite me to things or make me feel as if I was tainted or had a contagious disease or something.

So after a while I stopped trying and just stayed far away I didn't want to have anything to do with them. I never understood why they treated me like that  but today I found out. I also found out why at school no one would ever talk to me or interact with me. I was a complete shut out and Xavier I felt so alone.

I lost my parents and I never experienced the bond of a pack or friends or anything. I only ever had my parents and then Chris and Ginger who where a true blessing. I refuse to add Adam to that list.

My whole life I have been asking myself why? Why did everyone hate me and want to stay away from me and today my question had been answered and I don't know how to feel about it."

" I can't tell you what to feel Victoria but I can tell you how I feel. I feel so helpless at the fact that I was not there in your darkest moments and I feel so angry at the ones that hurt you even if they could not help it. I feel so angry at them for causing you misery. I feel so distraught at hearing about your sadness and your pain and all I want to do is take it all away and make sure you never have to feel like that again. I feel so responsible for your suffering, Victoria, it is my fault that you-"

" No, stop, it isn't your fault, the only one responsible is Cadmer, not you." I said cupping his cheek in my hand. He closed his stormy grey eyes and after a moment he opened them and looked right into mine. He stared at me for a moment longer and then said,

" I feel-I feel so in-love right now, in this moment, looking into your beautiful eyes, I feel so in love my heart could burst."

I sucked in a breath and felt my eyes begin  to glisten again. No one has ever told me they loved me like he just did. And I've never felt this much love radiate from someone before just for me. He truly did love me but- but I don't know how I feel.

I'm going though so much at the moment that I don't know how to open my heart up to him the way he has. I've never expected my mate to love me this much or even want me so I truly do not know how to react.

I just continued to look at him and at my silence Xavier looked slightly disappointed but smiled softly at me and closing his eyes he kissed the top of my head.

I sighed into him and rested my head on his chest. He positioned us so that we were lying down on the bed now, me on top of him with his arms wrapped around me and just like that I fell asleep, in his arms, thinking of  what tomorrow would bring.

One thing was for sure I knew tomorrow would be life changing, I could feel it.
