Alpha Xander
Chapter 34

"Xander is here?" Hutton gasped, jumping up from the chair he was sitting on.

"I received a message from one of the guards now, Xander has killed all the guards who tried stopping him at the Pack boundary, he is heading here right away!" The messenger breathed in fear while I watched dumbly. "Xander might be here to save her..." The Gamma mumbled, pointing at me.

"It can't be!...the Xander we all know, can never fight his way here to save this trash!!!" Hutton blurted with anger written all over his face.

"How dare he come into this Pack!...did he come alone?" Alpha Greg asked after recovering from the fear which took over him.

"He didn't come alone but with his best warriors, they are slashing anyone who stands on their way, he is heading here straight!" The messenger cried out,

I felt a glimmer of happiness cross through my heart, but then I couldn't smile, the sadness in my heart was still much and couldn't get lesser, the thought of Linda's death was eating me deeply, I failed my promise to keep her safe.

"What is happening here? I expect to see her body hanging in the air, I expect to see everyone screaming in celebration at her death, why is this place so tense and the people running helter-skelter? Why is she still kept alive until this moment?!" Kyle's voice chipped in as she rushed in from wherever she had been.

"Xander is...." The announcer couldn't finish his reply before an arrow struck his chest, making him fall dead instantly.

The whole crowd divided into two, creating a pass way, before they all bowed to the ground,

I looked up and saw Xander gallop forward in his white Royal horse, his face looked deadly with no single smile.

"Who dared to hurt her???" His scary voice rumbled like thunder.

He got down from the horse and climbed to the elevated floor.

"Are you here to save her?" Greg asked with a deep frown.

"Is that a question for me?" He scoffed and turned to me,

"Can't you pull that off your neck and step down?" He asked with a raised brow.

"How dare you step into the Blue moon Pack!!...you aren't afraid we would join hands together and kill you!!!" Kyle growled,

"I had always wanted to step in here and see how it looks, I'm not here for a war, I come in peace..." He chuckled and climbed the high floor where I stood helplessly.

"Sir, please let me release her myself, you don't need to stress yourself... I'm sorry for my negligence..." One of his men pleaded but got ignored as Xander came over by himself while I stare in surprise.

He got closer and scanned my body, his face contorted into a deep frown,

"You are badly wounded...." He seethed, with his eyes glistening in rage, as he cut off the rope around my neck.

"That's what you wanted..." I coughed as the rope got off my neck.

I was too weak to stand and fell into his arms, he carried me carefully and flew down.

"Xander, what do you think you are doing?" Hutton asked with a confused look.

"I'm taking her away, stop me if you can!" He replied and walked away with me.

"Why are you saving me?... let me die, since that's what you wanted!" I sniffed and coughed out blood.

His face flushed in fury as he saw the blood, I could see his eyes burning in rage, he paused his pace and turned to Alpha Greg and the others who was moping from the elevated ground.

"I came here to save her today, next time would be to kill everyone who caused her pain!!!" He threatened and everywhere became dead silence, no one could talk, knowing fully well what it would cause.

"If she had been killed before my arrival... I would have wiped out every one of you in this Pack, I swear!" He added before shifting into his dragon form, his golden wings spread out with sparkling light, I could feel his powers hover around him as he flew up to the sky with me in his arms.

I couldn't help the smiles that filled my face as I lay calmly in his arms, watching every one of the Pack staring confused and fear.

Alpha Greg's POV

"What just happened?" I asked under my breath as my eyes roamed around,

"Were you blind all this while?" Hutton hissed and walked away,

"Please, what would be our fate when Xander returns!!!" Someone from the crowd threw the question and everyone joined in...

"Please, Alpha, save us from Xander!"

"You shouldn't have hurt Lena!!...

"We don't want to die off like the Crescent Moon pack which they attacked not long ago...!"

The crowd kept on lamenting causing me shame and anger, I couldn't believe it happened, right in front of me, Lena was taken away, and I couldn't do anything than to mope,

"Is Lena, Xander's mate?" Kyle asked and I sighed.

"I don't know, he didn't mention it..." I replied, feeling exhausted.

"Everyone, go back to your Pack house and relax, we are here to protect you!!" The Gamma announced and they all head home murmuring.

"You will have to forgive the Beta and don't demote him, okay?" Kyle pleaded with those charming eyes, I smiled and nodded without hesitation, it seemed so hard to refuse her words.

"Let's go back to the Pack house, I'll replace a way to get Lena killed sooner" she huffed with her voice showing how sure she was...

I nodded and took her hand as we head back to the Royal Pack house.

Lena's POV.

I could only stare dumbly as Xander carried me in his arms flying through the sky with his wings flapping like that of an eagle.

After some hours, we got to the Red moon Pack, and he flew down until his feet touched the ground I squinted my eyes looking around the Pack which looked far more different from that of the Blue Moon, there was a kind of silence all around, everyone talks slowly and walks a step at a time like they were afraid of something,

Immediately they saw Xander, everyone took to their heel the path was clear in few minutes leaving just us,

"They have all run away...?...why?" I questioned Xander, but he dropped me from his arms and walked away.

"Follow me and never ask any question!" He huffed without turning back.

"You know that's impossible because I have numerous questions to ask you!" I squeaked, limping to catch up to his pace.

"I don't talk much, and you can't let me talk more than I want, just shut up and do as I say!" He ordered,

"Where are the other warriors who came with you to save me?" I asked without knowing I was disobeying him already.

He paused and swiveled.

"You just asked me a question when I warned you against it???...you prefer not to stay alive, right?" He raised his brows with a deep frown.

"Yes, I don't want to die because you never wanted me to" I replied, and he scoffed, looking away.

"It's clear in your eyes, the mate bond made us one, and you love me...." I added, walking closer to him.

"You are talking gibberish, I saved you because I can't break my promise, nothing else, since you saved me from death that night, I did the same now to pay back, don't overthink it." He hissed, and hurried away, like he was afraid to stay close to me. I held his hand quickly, and he stared at me with widened eyes,

"Why...why, are you touching me?" He stuttered.

"Let's go together...." I beamed and locked my palm with his.

Xander's POV.

My heart really skipped a beat, shudders really ran up and down my spine, for real, I felt the soothing sensation in my heart, her soft palm made me feel better.

I had quickly flashed a gaze at her and seeing those eyes burrow into mine got me fretting, I feared how she was affecting me all of a sudden.

I had thought I wanted her dead, not until today...

After pushing her away back then at school, I headed home but couldn't have a single moment of rest, it was clear that they would kill her for saving me, and it was suddenly a huge burden to my heart.

I had sent one of my spies to check on her and the moment he sent a message that she was about to be hung to death, I couldn't stay back, it was out of my control to ignore her and let her die.

I ended up saving her, now, I don't know what's going on with me, she seems to be my weakness, I can't kill her, I can't hurt her...

Gosh!...never had I thought of having my mate change me, I had promised my father to reject and kill any lady who appears as my mate...

What the hell is happening now??

"Can you get your filthy hands off me, or I'll be forced to break your hand!" I growled, and she nodded, pulling her hand away immediately.

"I'm sorry for holding your hand, I will never touch you again!" She stated, and my heart flipped at her words.

"Fine, keep to your words!" I breathed, trying hard to keep a stern face, I can't just tell why someway, somehow, I wasn't happy she said those words...

"Now follow me from some distance!" I ordered, and she nodded with a deep frown all over her face, she was never smiling again, all of a sudden, she doesn't look happy at all, and it was strangely disturbing me.

I swallowed the lump in my throat before walking away while she followed from a distance as I had said,

Finally, we got to the Royal Pack house and I got into the sitting room where my father was relaxing enjoying his wine.

Immediately he saw me walk in with Lena, he frowned and scrutinized her.

"Who is she?" He asked.

"My new slave and toy, I got her from the Blue Moon Pack" I replied with a deep frown.

"Hope you won't kill her like other slaves I brought for you" he giggled, and I shrugged,

"I hope so, only if she acts according to my order with no mistake!"

"Wait, you called her Your new slave and toy, does that means I can't f**k her p***y too?" Dad asked with a smirk, his words seemed to infuriate me,

"Why would you want to do that?...there are many slaves here..." I found myself seething at him.

"Oh, wow, you seemed to be protective over her, we both know every slave can be toyed by the both of us, it seems like you want to avoid sharing her with me and that is making me curious over what your reason would be..." He growled with a raised brow, my heart twitched and beat faster.

I knew what he was curious about...

"I hope you don't think she is my mate, I was just joking all through, you can f**k her as you want but allow me to taste her first" I shrugged and glanced at Lena, there were tears in her eyes, I knew my words must really hurt her.

"You guessed it right, I was thinking of those mate of a thing, I will never want you to become weak by it!...can I see you t*****e her in front of me, I really need to be convinced because you've never brought a slave for yourself!" he huffed, and I shrugged before walking over to Lena.

I raised her head with her hair and slapped her twice on her left cheek making her shrill in pain, she cried in anguish and I felt my hands shiver.

"Oh good, I trust my son, take her in and do the rest...." Dad laughed, and I dragged her hand, heading up to my room.

"Get your hands off me, you monster!!!!" she screamed just immediately we got to my room, but I pushed her to the bed and locked the door.

"Xander, I hate you!!!... I hate you from the depth of my heart, I regret having you as my mate!!!.. I'm better dead than being your mate!" She shrieked and buried her face into her palm, sobbing profusely.

"I've also told you I hate you countless times, so there is no big deal hating me back..." I mumbled, those words were hard for me to say, never did I want her to hate me.

"You had been nothing but pain to my life when I needed you to take me away, you pushed me off, I lost my best friend Linda because of you, I was tortured and disgraced in front of the whole pack, now you took me into this strange pack and introduced me as a toy and slave, as if that isn't enough, you agreed that your father can have s*x with me, you even slapped me twice without mercy, you are no different from those people who made my life miserable!" She cried out the more. I shrugged and leaned over to the wall watching her without knowing what to say,

"I regret being your mate!!!...hope you will be happy when I kill myself!!!" She burst out in deep agony, which could be felt from her voice.

I could feel her pains in my heart too.

How would I explain to her that it was to save her from being killed by my father, I did all that to convince my father, so he won't kill her, I may have always threatened to take her life in the past but not anymore...

Right now, I don't want her death and all I craved was to kill whoever causes her pain, but then I can't say it out, I am Xander, everyone fears and dreads me for being ruthless, how was I going to confess my love for a weakling. I will hide this feeling forever. I can't let her know I'm in love.

"Go to hell with whatever you think, kill yourself if that's what you want, I don't care!... I still hate you." I blurted and walked away, banging the door to her face while she sobbed bitterly.
