#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...
Slower updates lately and welp, I'm drowning in responsibilities and work. Fun (NOT). Hopefully, I make it out intact lol. But hey, my exams are over at least! HA!
ENJOY!!

Chapter XLI
Xavier Kacee Morris
We had already shot a missile at the door and it had the audacity to stand there, unscratched. With every failed try, I was getting more agitated.
God forbid if anything happened to her, I wouldn't know what to do.
Growling in frustration, I went ahead and started banging against the door, throwing my body against it like a madman.
"Xavier!" Hayden shouted, pulling me away from it, "You're not helping right now! If a missile can't break the door, your shoulder won't either!"
He was just as tense as I was but at least he wasn't letting his emotions get the best of him.
Running a frustrated hand down my face I let out a long exhale, "I just want to make sure she's okay."
"I know you do Xavier. We're trying our best but you need to understand that mundane weapons won't break down a door with a spell cast on it." He explained.
"That's it!" I exclaimed as an idea struck me.
I was running down the hall, impatiently trying to reach my room. I had been gifted a borne from the witches when I was crowned king.
Rushing towards my closet, I threw all my stuff out, pushing buttons to open up the safe. The metal wall slid open, revealing the tangra.
The tangra was a circular copper ring covered up in old herbs. The witches told me I had to say what I wanted inside the ring and wait for the magic to take place.
Without wasting another second, I wished for Scalett and Sasha to be alright. I could've wished for the door to open but there was no guarantee what we would find upon doing so.
As the ring glowed a bright golden, it slowly disappeared. Closing my eyes, I prayed to the moon goddess.
I had only just found Scarlett, had barely had enough time with her. The past couple of years had been the worst ones of my life, this very year I had been crowned- my whole dynamics changing. I had been preparing for this fight, I was ready for this battle and it's responsibilities.
The one year I was finally ready to focus on myself, build my empire- the goddess thought it was alright to bless me with a mate.
I was glad I found her, shocked even. I just know, she isn't ready for my world, my story, my past.
