The Alpha King

"Pack your bags," Xavier said.

He had called me into his office and I came curious as to what he wanted and let me tell you, that was the last thing I expected him to say.

"What, why?"

He glanced up at me from the paperwork on his mahogany desk and said simply,

"Because we are leaving." I crossed my arms and glared at him in annoyance.

"I figured that out, genius, I want to know why we are leaving and while you're at it, how about you tell me where we are going."

He gave me a blank look and I heard him mutter under his breath,

"The attitude.." my eyes bulged and my mouth opened in shock. Did he-did he just say that?! Little weirdo is feeling brave I see.

"Did you just say I have attitude?"

"No, of course not Buttercup. I was merely talking to myself."

"Yeah, I'm sure you were, Honey-cakes."

" Now, would my Little Chocolate Drop like to know where we are going and why we are leaving?"

"Yes, she would." I huffed and leaned forward, resting my elbows on the front of his desk.

He leaned forward as well and said,

" We are leaving because I can't risk your safety any longer with Cadmer out to gain his sadistic vengeance and I am taking you to the safest place I can think of....my home."

"Your home?"

"Yes," he answered and leaned back and resumed looking at paperwork in front of him, once more.

"When are we leaving?"

"Today," He said and didn't even bother to look up. Okay, I'm getting irritated now. Why isn't he telling me outright what the heck is going on and what we are actually doing. I want details and dates and he's giving me the bare minimums.

"Xavier, leave that gods damn paperwork and speak to me."

"I already told you everything."

"No, you didn't. What time exactly are we leaving and do you just expect me leave without saying goodbye to Chris and Ginger? I'm also kind of annoyed how you just assumed I'd leave with you and you didn't even bother to consult me on the whole thing?"

" We leave at three pm and of course I didn't expect you to leave without saying goodbye to them, that is why I invited them over for lunch at twelve, this afternoon. I apologise if you are offended that I didn't consult with you, so I'll ask you now Buttercup. Would you like to come home with me for your own safety and well being?"

" Thank you for inviting them and forgetting to mention that you did and yes I can't wait to." I said sarcastically and got up to leave.

I turned around from his desk and was headed to the door when I felt his arms go around me from behind.

He squeezed me tighter towards himself and I shivered when he placed a kiss on my neck.

"Don't be mad." He said softly and continued to hold me. I sighed and leaned more into him. I felt so safe and so much calmer in his arms.

"I'm not."

"You are, I know first hand when you are angry."

"Xavier, let go, you have paperwork to do and I have packing to do."

"I couldn't care less about that paperwork."

"Well, you seems to care a whole lot earlier on."

" Do you honestly think I would think of doing paperwork, when my mate is in my arms. Do you know how hard it has been trying to sit still in this desk everyday and try to focus on my work with you in the house? I have to practically chain myself from running after you and holding you. And when you are at school, your scent, Gods, Victoria, your scent torments me."

I went really still in his arms, not knowing how to react to his words. His fingers peaked under my shirt and I jumped slightly.

"Well, I'm glad I torment you, have fun pining after me." I quickly said and practically jumped out of his arms. I sped walked to the door and raced up the stairs and into our bedroom. I slammed the door and leaned against it, out of breath. I told myself it was because of the stairs.

I knew I was a flustered mess with red cheeks and mixed feelings. How does he manage to make me feel the way I do?

I composed myself and walked to my closet and started taking out all my clothes. I folded them and then went snooping for a suit case which I found after awhile in one of the many cupboards.

I checked the time and saw it had been an hour or so and I was done with packing. Chris and Ginger would be here any minute now and so I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen.

The kitchen was in a flurry. People were rushing around and preparing all sorts of foods that smelt delicious. I walked to where, Grace was and offered to help.

She smiled and hugged me. Not long after I was right besides her, chopping up whatever vegetables she handed to me.

I almost chopped my finger off when Xavier mind linked me and told me Chris and Ginger were here.

Grace yelled after I yelled from surprise and I asked her why she yelled and she said because I yelled. I didn't say anything for a moment and we just looked at each other and burst out laughing.

I excused myself and went into the foyer. I was standing there and out of nowhere someone grabbed my hand and tugged me along towards the door. I immediately knew who it was. I tried yanking my hand out of Xavier's hand but he rushed ahead and opened the door just as I yelled,

"Let go you big Ogar!"

My face flamed bright red as I saw Chris and Ginger standing in front of us. Ginger looked surprised and Chris was trying so hard not to laugh.

I blinked and blinked again and then turned my glare on Xavier. He felt my stare and just glanced at me, and then shook his head at them as if I wasn't standing like right next to him.

"Chris, Ginger, please come in. We are so happy you both could join us." Xavier, politely said and gestured for them to enter.

Chris walked in first and Xavier followed after him leaving Ginger and I slightly alone.

Ginger was still stood in the doorway and I gestured for her to enter as well but she gave me a reluctant look.

" Ginger, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, Sweetheart." She said as she plastered a smile onto her face and walked in.

"Something is wrong. Tell me."

"It's nothing, really. I'm just so happy I finally get to see you."

"It's only been a few weeks." I said laughing and linking my arms with hers. She smiled at me and walked with me to the dining room where the two males were already seated.

Xavier wasn't seated at the head of the really long table but opposite Chris. Ginger automatically walked to the seat next to Chris and sat down, leaving me to sit next to Xavier, opposite them.

People started coming into the room, dressed in white formal clothes and put a plate of food in front of us all. The smell was divine, I think I drooled.

They left and I was waiting for someone to start eating so that I could start as well. I don't know I find it weird to eat when no one else is so normally I'll wait. I'm weird I know, okay.

Xavier started cutting into his food so I took that as my cue and started digging in as well. Chris and Ginger soon followed.

We were eating in silence when Gingers voice rang through the dining room.

"So, Your Majesty, have you been looking after my Tori?"

Xavier looked up at her and smoothly said,

"I have been trying my best."

Ginger just looked at him and smiled tightly. She looked down at her food and I heard her mutter softly, so softly that humans wouldn't be able to hear her at all.

"We all know how that worked out before."

My eyes widened and I chewed my food a little slower, shocked at what she said. I pray to the Moon Goddess, Xavier didn't hear that but we all know he did.

Chris looked sharply at Ginger and she just ignored him. Xavier continued cutting his food up and looking down at it, acting as if he didn't hear anything but I noticed the way he held his fork and knife, a little to tightly.

"Tori, we miss you so much, the house is so quiet without you. You have to come visit tomorrow, I'll bake your favourite chocolate chip cookie and we can go shopping or just have a girls day out! "

Wait, they don't know we are leaving?!

Leave it to Xavier to not tell them! I tried to mind link him but he blocked me so I 'nudged' at his mind until he opened a sliver of it to me.

' Why did you not tell them?!' I mind linked him.

'Because, I am going to tell them after the meal.'

' You are the worst person I have ever met at communication!'

'I'm going to tell them now.'

' If you wish to, go ahead.'

I so desperately wanted to smack him. I don't know why I just felt so irritated by him.

"Ginger that sounds wonderful, truly but you see the thing is we invited you hear today, to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?! What do you mean? Where are you going?!" Ginger demanded. Food completely forgotten, both her and Chris looked expectantly at us.

"Ah, well, you see, Xavier is going back home and he's taking me with him. Before you get all upset, I just want you to know it is largely for safety purposes."

Gingers face went all red and she looked directly at Xavier.

'I think she's going to kill me.' He mind linked me.

I shrunk down into my seat.
