#1 in the Kingdom series
Sneak peak -
Xavier growled possessively, walking towards me like the predator that he truly was. Staring into the endless pools of his eyes, I saw as raw, primitive need took over every ounce of him and all it did was turn...

Xavier's P.O.V.
Seven years ago
"I'll kill her!"
I growled, my temper reaching another wavelength, "I won't let you get the chance."
"What are you going to do? Kill me instead?" He chuckled darkly.
"I won't think twice."
"Look at you!" He scowled, "Pathetic! If you weren't my own blood, I would've killed you the moment you came out of your mothers womb!"
"Do not speak of my mother again!"
"Just because I promised your father that I wouldn't lay a hand on you doesn't mean I'm afraid of you, pup." He spoke as he landed a back handed slap on my cheek.
His ring cut through my skin, leaving a trail of blood flowing down my face.
What an uncle!
"You really are the pathetic scum I have believed you to be Hecate!" I whispered menacingly.
He looked so consumed with his own anger, his eyes turning red.
What had he done to himself?
The thought of my once loving uncle, had my stomach churn.
He had given himself to the dark side by selling his soul to the devil. Literally.
He slit his palm, looking at me wickedly making sure the blood dripped into the bowl as he started chanting a blood spell.
He was a powerful wizard, no doubt his spell just as powerful and dark as his intentions.
Panicking, I struggled against the heavy chains. I had to stop him.
I had warned my father about his brothers ill-intentions. He was to blinded by the love for his family to ever see it. Instead, he dismissed me rather ignorantly, turning his back on me.
My father had been angry at me for causing so many discomforts and friction between uncle and him.
If only he could see this.
"With the power vested in me, I give to Killan the greatest gift of all." He stated.
The amount of silver laced on the chains was really starting to burn against my wrist as I tugged at them.
The wolfsbane injected into my blood made me feel nauseous and weak for the first time in years.
"A blood oath. I offer to you every child of my reign ever to be birthed. Be ying, be yang, Be sun, be moon, Be dark, be light, Be strong, be weak. Be the child of the Killan always, We won't sleep, We won't stop, We won't eat, We will only serve one purpose."
Just as I broke free from my chains and lunged for him, he looked me in the eyes and said the words I dreaded.
"And may that purpose find us all."
With that he turned to dust.
Gone, just like that.
Present day
I woke up, gasping.
My throat was parched, my breathing uneven.
I winced at the amount of light in the room, my curtains were open unlike always.
Groaning, I turned around, trying to cover my head under the pillow.
It was then that I remembered what had happened last night.
Sitting up suddenly, I got off the bed scowling.
Scarlett had asked me to mark her last night.
Stupid, stupid, stupid girl!
What's worse is, I would've done it.
The thought alone had my canines growing once again. I was starting to lose a little bit of my control and it was making me beyond frustrated.
She was not ready for my world, my past or my future.
Flashes of last night had me gripping onto my desk so hard, I was sure I had dented it.
I needed a cold shower, the coldest one in history.
She made me feel crazy, made me feel like I was lost in a world that doesn't exist.
I was just about to enter the shower when the door to my room opened.
Expecting it to be Carlos or one of the guys, I turned around quickly to apolgize.
But I was met with the face of Sasha.
I did not know her well and I had no reason to trust her, but she was Scarlett's friend and I trusted Scarlett.
"I just wanted to pop by to say I'm sorry." She said, her face looking redder than ever.
"It's alright." I shrugged.
"No, really, I've never done anything like that before and me being a human, I shouldn't have the audacity of hurting a werewolf much less injecting the king of the entire race! I feel so horrible. On top of that, you happen to be Scarlett's mate, what kind of friend am I? " She rammbled.
"No, I actually appreciate it Sasha, I wasn't supposed to mark her. I would've if you didn't stop me. So really, thank you."I explained in all honesty.
I really wasn't supposed to mark her just because of the influence of the moon and her heat. It's the kind of decision one makes in a sober state of mind, when you are completely in control of your thoughts and emotions.
"Oh, I-uh" She started to say something, "Well, I don't know if this is going to sound weird or what but um, something told me to stop you. I know I don't have to explain myself, but I feel like you deserve an explanation you know with all the stabbing and what not." She continued making awkward hand gestures.
Hearing that irked my curiosity, "What do you mean 'something told you'?"
"I don't know. I'm honestly so confused and exhausted, I just want to go home and binge watch my favorite tv show." She sighed.
I never really understood how people binge watched shows, I was usually to occupied watch them or bored with their storyline.
She must've noticed the look on my face because she smiled, "It's a human thing. Anyway, uh it was like every cell in my body knew I had to stop you from hurting Scarlett."
"I would never hurt her."
"I know, but uh," She said as she shyly tucked a hair behind her ear,"I was also really angry at you."
"At me?" I wondered what I had done, "What for?"
"You hurt Carlos and I just, I had to do something." She answered, her cheeks flushing red once again.
It felt like high school all over again.
I couldn't help but grin, "You like him, don't you?"
