Loving The Alpha King

Chapter 14 (Part 1)

Layla Cortdale

"Mhmm, Xavier, stop hogging the comforter" I groaned out while tugging on the comforter to get some warmth

The coldness still surrounded me, even though I'm smothered in the comforter. I turned around and opened my eyes and saw the other side of my bed, empty

"Xavier?" I questioned out loud

I sat up and rubbed my eyes , looking all around the room, but there was no trace of him, it's like he never even came in my room to begin with. Where did he go? I got up to get my phone from the night stand, but saw an envelope with a red rose right next to my phone. I walked over to it and open it, it read:

To my baby:

I'm sorry that I couldn't see you when you wake up, but I had to get everything ready for my uncles funeral, but I hope to see you soon.

Love, your mate

P.S. you sound so cute when you snore

Instantly, my cheeks felt warm, he heard me snore, how embarrassing! I picked up the rose and touched the ruby red petals, it was soft as a baby's skin. He truly is a sweetheart. I put the letter back into the envelope and put it in my suitcase. I decided to go for a black maxi dress with some nude pumps. After I was done dressing, I curled my soft auburn hair and ran my fingers through it to make it wavy, I didn't bother putting any makeup on, just a dab of lipgloss. I packed up my suitcase, duffel bag and carry-on and placed them by my door, I grabbed my phone and left my room. I walked over to Kingsley's room and knocked on the door and in a matter of minutes the door opened and a fresh, elegant looking Kingsley, who is wearing a black button up shirt with black dress pants, stood in front of me.

"Hey" He greeted

"Hi, are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let me just grab my watch, you can never go wrong with accessories " he said

I smiled and nodded my head, agreeing with him. I stood by the door, two seconds later, Kingsley came out with a watch in his hands and a cross necklace, he put them on and closed his door. We walked down the stairs and saw my dad and Kingsley's dad by the front doors. Once we reached the end of the staircase, we walked over to them

"Hi dad, hi Daniel" I greeted, waving to them

Daniel is Kingsley's dad, he's like a second father to me. He's my dads third in command and best friend. Nicole's dad is my dad's beta, the three of them are great friends. Nicole is my other best friend, but Kingsley and I are much closer, we were born at the same hospital, in the same room, on the same day. Our moms are childhood best friends, they are inseparable, Kingsley and I are just the same, we can never be together cause we cause trouble, but we can't be without each other cause we complete one another, but our moms still remain friends till this day.

"Hi Layla" they both said, simultaneously

"So um where's the funeral being held?" Kingsley asked

"At a church, its a couple of blocks from here" Daniel replied

"After the funeral, we're heading home, so go and bring your suitcases" dad said

Kingsley nodded and headed upstairs

"Daniel, why don't you go ahead and check on the trucks?" said dad

Daniel nodded and went outside, I looked at dad, trying to figure him out, he looked so tensed and bothered

"Dad, you okay?"

"Yeah" he said, while giving me a fake smile

"Dad, I know something is going on, when we get home, you will have to tell me everything"
