The Alpha King

Chapter 44

My heart was pounding. I quickly looked towards where Killian was and noticed his eyes were wide with fear. He was standing now, looking directly at Xavier.

"Your Majesty, I-I, we were training that is all. I didn't mean to offend you." This was the first time I've seen Killian look so shaken. I guess he really knows what Xavier is like, especially when he is furious. He must sense danger and be truly fearing for his life.

I blinked and in that moment I knew I couldn't let Xavier harm Killian. No matter how annoying, mean and cruel he was to me, he didn't deserve Xavier's wrath for something completely innocent and uncalled for.

Xavier needs to calm down.

I don't know why he's reacting so strongly to this? He looks kind of crazy! Almost as if he, himself can't control his own emotions.

Xavier's only response was a deep snarl. He remained as still as death, not moving just glaring at Killian. Like a predator stalking or sussing out his prey. Killian did not move either.

It took only a moment and then Xavier was on Killian.

My heart was racing at this point and I knew I had to do something but I just couldn't get my body to move! I was frozen in my spot.

I couldn't even make out what was happening between Xavier and Killian, they looked like a blur.

I was snapped out of my shock when Killian went flying past me. He landed again with a thud and I noticed drops of blood soaking the snow and his torn clothes.

I watched as Xavier began stalking towards him. Not a single hair was out of place. I immediately sprung up and dashed in front of him, slightly breathless.

As I stood right in front of him, his piercing blue eyes didn't leave Killian's form on the ground.

"Xavier, look at me!" I said this desperately trying to get his attention, but he didn't waver his stare nor his stance.

"Xavier, I said LOOK AT ME!" As I said this, I took ahold of his bulging arms and tried to shake him.

He glanced down at me this time and he didn't even seem to register who is was. Why is he so furious? It wasn't even that big of a deal?

He looked as if he was in a trance!

I had to shake him out of this. I realised suddenly that his wolf must have taken control and he was losing control of some of his power.

The clearing was practically pulsing. He was pulsing. The waves of his power were rocking me on my feet.

He needed to snap the hell out of whatever he was in and he needed to do it now before he seriously hurts someone and then ends up regretting it!

I heard a scuffle from behind me and quickly, as I was afraid to lose eye contact with Xavier, glanced behind me to see Killian beginning to rise and stand up. He wiped blood from his nose and looked at us in confusion.

I felt Xavier's muscles tighten from beneath my fingers and I panicked.

I could not allow a round two.

In my panic I didn't think and invaded Xavier's mind. It was like a storm was raging on inside his mind, almost as if a hurricane was causing everything to be disrupted and allowing chaos to wreak havoc.

I couldn't pinpoint any single thought or make out what exactly he was thinking it was extremely difficult to remain inside his head. I, myself felt dizzy.

For some reason I felt fearful and immediately thoughts of Cadmer surfaced. I remembered being in that cell, torn, broken, weak and defeated. Flashes of the torture I endured rang across my mind like a movie. It was so vivid, it almost felt real again. My fear consumed me. Everything was happening too fast and too sudden. I felt my breaths increase and my panic spiked. I was transported, transported back to my living hell, to my memories, that felt so real. Why does it feel so real?

I could taste the blood and feel the Wolfsbane coursing through my veins like thorns in my blood. The whip lashes out onto my bare skin and I scream and scream. Their dragging me by my hair, it pulls at my skull, my body aches, am I dying?Again and again, the needles, the knife, the fire, burning of flesh, the stench, darkness! I think I want to die. Darkness, all alone! I felt all of it, all of it!

Weak, so weak, broken, you'll never be the same, no one will love you, no one needs you, all alone. Vomit covers me, no it's blood, am I vomiting blood? What day is it. The darkness is consuming me. I can't breath. Help me, somebody help me, please, I beg you!

I was shaking when I opened my eyes.

My tears froze on my skin.

The clearing was silent, how strange that it was silent.

No, it isn't silent, someone was wheezing.

Xavier, where is Xavier?!

I turned around and there on the floor Killian was kneeling. His hands were spread out before him on the ground, his head hung low.

Without thinking I rushed towards him and knelt down in front of him. All thoughts of myself flew from my mind. I didn't want to think about anything anymore.

I felt numb.

"Killian, Killian, are you okay? What did Xavier do? I-I tried to stop him! I don't know what happened? Where is he?!"

"You-You did stop him, he didn't come after me again." He wheezed, but then why did he seem worse of than before?

"Killian why can't you breath?" Is he injured somewhere that I can't see? He seemed to just be bleeding from his nose and arm.

"Be-because of you."

I jolted back. My heart was thundering.

" Wha-what, me? I tried to help you!" How ungrateful is he? After everything he did to me I still tried to help him and stop Xavier!

"I-I didn't know..." What is he saying? He isn't making any sense. I don't understand what happened!

What happened?
