Alpha King Xavier - Chapter 11: Chapter 11

My heart stopped as I sat on the horse. I felt very stiff.
Damn! I have never done this before. It felt like I was just learning how to walk.
“Are you comfortable?” One of the soldiers asked, pulling me out of my trance.
No matter what, I have to be very careful so I don't reveal myself and upset the Alpha.
I looked ahead at Xavier and got lost for a moment at how easily he was able to climb the horse.
I nodded once. “I'm fine,” I assured the soldier.
Looking up again, I watched how he gripped the rope, and I did the same. Even at that, my heart was still in my mouth.
A soldier moved closer to each of our horses and started walking them out.
I released a sigh I didn't even know I was holding. Now this is better.
We rode out of the packhouse and into the forest. We head east.
The Alpha was riding slowly beside me now, and my mind drifted right to when he hugged me.
How I wish we could have sex again and I could touch his chest while he slams into me. I won't mind at this point.
“Luna, would you like to ride faster?” A voice asked suddenly, and the fantasy I've created in my head clears off.
I looked at the soldier holding the reins of the horse and blinked once. This particular soldier is off to get me.
“Really?” Xavier craned his head towards me. “Should we do that?”
I blinked again and shook my head slowly.
He regarded me for another moment, and I had that slight thought that he understood me. But when I thought he was going to get down or order me to, he turned away.
“Let's go, then!” He said it in an energy-filled voice.
Actually, this was my first time hearing that slight excitement in his voice. He sounded like a kid who was promised candy.
The soldier hit my horse from behind, and the horse took on a fast pace, and I almost fell off it.
I gripped the ropes harder; by now it was getting even faster.
The only person I could see now was the Alpha. The horse had already left the maids and the soldiers right behind us.
“Oh my!” I yelled suddenly as my left leg slipped off the footbed.
Perhaps the Alpha was enjoying it or he was merely torturing me, he screamed. “To the left!”
My eyes darted quickly over to the clear path by the left.
What the heck? How am I even supposed to turn the horse to the left?
The horse was racing so fast now that I couldn't even see how Xavier controlled his horse.
He leaped forward suddenly, and I found myself gripping the rope harder for my life as my upper body lurched forward and my right leg shifted from the footbed.
This will definitely be the end of me.
When I looked up again, Xavier was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he had veered from that direction, but my stupid horse couldn't even understand how much I was panicking and only continued to race.
You would think he is racing for an award.
“Autumn! What are you doing?” A deep, familiar voice said suddenly behind me.
I didn't need to turn around before I knew it was the Alpha.
“I don't know!” I yelled back.
“Stop the horse!” He yelled annoyingly from behind.
“I don't know how to!” I yelled back.
There was a brief pause. “Pull the rein back!” He yelled again.
The rein?
I don't even know how to pull it.
How can the Alpha be asking me to do something I have never done?
Xavier appeared beside me suddenly. He looked at me. “Stay still. Hold on!” He advised.
I nodded once, even though I was very scared.
Xavier looked down at my footbed, then up at me again. “I will get you now. Let go of the rein when I do.”
I have no idea what he plans to do, but I nodded anyway.
Suddenly, I could see his fur covering him like a second skin. He was shifting.
The clothes he was wearing started to gsve way, unable to adjust to the new size.
The next thing I realized was that he was behind me. His body curled around mine and I released the rein.
There was a thud, and we were lying on the floor in the next few minutes while the two horses continued to run further inside the forest.
The Alpha's wolf was so huge that I was safely curled inside him. He was as black as his eyes.
Unconsciously, I reached out to him and felt the fur against my body.
He growled suddenly and I jerked back in fear.
I looked away and expected him to drop me. Instead, he starts on a run, handling me like I'm his baby.
My heart couldn't stop beating fast. It felt like it was going to burst out at any moment.
I couldn't touch him because I was scared it might upset him.
But I've never felt so comfortable in my entire life. This was better than any bed in the whole world.
So, I closed my eyes and felt myself drift away.
“I will stay with her,” a deep voice muttered suddenly, and I felt my consciousness slip in again.
The first thing I notice is that I'm not as comfortable as I was when I was in the Alpha's arms.
I'm still comfortable, but I realized I'm lying on the bed. And this isn't Luna's bedroom.
The dark wall reminded me of the Alpha's personality and as realisation finally settled in, a large gasp escaped my throat.
I'm in Alpha's bedroom! And on his bed!
The door opened suddenly and quietly as if the person behind the door was careful not to disturb me.
A strong scent engulfed me immediately.
I closed my eyes instantly, shutting them so tight as I tried to stabilise my heavy breathing.
How the heck did I fall asleep in his arms? What if he's angry at me?
The figure hovered over me for a moment, and I feared he had seen through my lies until he walked away.
I released the breath I didn't even know I was holding.
“I know you aren't sleeping,” he said suddenly and my eyes opened wide with shock.
I sat up quickly. Since he caught me, there was no need to continue pretending.
How did he even know in the first place?
I hurried up immediately and bowed slightly. “I'm so sorry,” I apologized in a clipped voice.
Since the Alpha doesn't like when I talk too much, I had to be very careful.
He walked towards me while pulling off his gloves. “I didn't know you were a heavy sleeper. Did you perhaps get hurt on the horse?”
I blinked once, as it felt like my senses were taken away from me. Did the Alpha just ask me if I got hurt?
He looked at me for a moment when I didn't answer. “You look fine to me by the way but,” he hesitates and fills the space in between us. “Why are you not healing?” He muttered and continued to stare at me.
I looked away quickly.
His fingered reach for my chin. He tilted my head up with it and stared the more into my eyes. His eyes felt like he was looking into my soul.
I felt a shiver take over my body. I couldn't control it.
“I don't heal easily.”
He didn't reply. Instead, he tilted his head in. It felt like he was going to kiss me.
He veered away before his lips would touch mine. He pecked me on my cheek instead.
I froze instantly.
