The Alpha King’s Heart: The King’s Mate
: Chapter 73

Adira’s POV

I almost pushed him but my wolf told me to let him. He was just worried about us and it made me smile, my grumpy wolfless man.

‘Why are you so worried?’ I whispered.

‘You could have died or something this time, dark wolves are merciless,’ he said.

‘You care,’

‘You’re my Luna and future Queen, I have a sworn duty to protect and care for you,’ he said, making me frown.

‘He said we were family,’

I told him and he looked at me, not saying a word.

‘What else did he say?’

‘That he came here to take another look at me,’

‘He risked himself just for that?’ he murmured.

‘Jett, he knows something,’ My wolf spoke after being quiet for a long time. What could the gamma know?

‘Should I tell Azriel?’

‘Not yet! I’m not sure,’ he said. Azriel held my hand to take me back to the party but I shook my head.

‘I want to go home,’ he looked at me again and nodded without questions. He directed me to his car and I sat in the passenger seat and closed my eyes.

The next morning I woke up and found Wyatt watching me. I sat up and stared at him, memories of the hug I saw came rushing back into my head.

‘Good morning, sweetheart,’ he said, getting to his feet. He kissed my lips softly.

‘Morning,’

‘Azriel told me what happened last night, are you alright?’ he asked, concerned. I nodded and got out of bed. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and Wyatt followed me.

‘Did you catch them?’

‘No, they were gone, it seems like their single mission was just to see you,’ he said, hugging me from behind. His anger was rising.

‘Are we still going to Topaz moon pack tomorrow?’ I asked.

‘Yes,’ he answered, there was hesitation in his voice. I went back to the bedroom and sat at the edge of the bed.

‘Are angry with me?’ He asked softly.

‘No, should I be?’

‘You are angry with me,’ he stated, his eyes searching mine. It was ridiculous that I felt jealous.

‘I saw Rachel Tarion hug you last night, and I just felt bad,’ I admitted to him, he sat next to me and took my hands to his lips, kissing each one of them.

‘I told her that I’ll be there for whatever she needs as long as she carries… Um, the… you know,’ he stuttered.

‘It’s a baby, Wyatt, your child,’ I said, and regret filled his face. I didn’t want to see that though, he mustn’t feel ashamed of his child because of me, no father or child deserved that. So, I swallowed and smiled at him, his face relaxed a bit.

‘You did well to tell Rachel that, ‘

‘I don’t know-‘ I interrupted him with a soft kiss and he caressed my cheek. His hand was soft and warm.

‘I support you and I’ll be fine, Wyatt, just do right by your baby. It deserves that much,’ I said, he grabbed my waist and pulled me to his lap.

‘I love you, you know that right?’ he asked, inhaling my scent. I nodded, he loved me. He showed and told me every day.

‘Let’s go down for breakfast,’ he said and I stood up, going to the closet to change.

We sat at the breakfast table in silence, I was hoping Jett would make an appearance, I wanted to ask him what he knew about the men. I was eating my toast when Aspen and Jett entered the room.

‘Ola!’ they seemed jolly.

‘Good morning, little bird, Alpha,’ they bowed and I rolled my eyes at the nickname.

‘You seemed delighted this morning considering you failed to capture the intruders that breached your borders,’ I smiled tightly, and like a pressed button, their faces fall, and shame filled them.

‘By the way, Luna, what did they want?’ Aspen asked, taking a slice of toast.

‘I don’t know, do you know Gamma Jett?’ he narrowed his eyes at me but I noted his eyes widen slightly at my question.

‘How would I know,’ he shrugged.

‘You just seemed worried yesterday, I’m very observant,’

‘Oh, I thought you wouldn’t notice as you were shaking and white in Azriel’s arms,’ he smiled at me, and my heart pounded in my chest. He wanted a reaction from Wyatt in order to disrupt the attention from him and the motherfucker succeeded.

‘Azriel’s what?’ Wyatt roared. He was angry. I faced him and touched his hand, helping him relax.

‘I was sensitive after my meeting with that dark wolf and he was close, I didn’t even realize I was holding him until he pulled me away,’ I mumbled, taking a sip of water. I glared at Jett who ignored me and focused on his breakfast. I still planned to talk to him.

After breakfast, I returned to my room for a long shower and after I made a call to the camp where Lucas is, he shall be returning next week and I couldn’t wait to have him here.

I received some emails from Mila and some from the charity events we were working on. after I answered my emails, I went to stand by the balcony, I loved the view.

Azriel appeared from the forest with Wolf. He glanced at me once before he continued to walk. I jumped from the floor I was to the ground, landing gently on my feet in front of him.

‘Nice, I see Master Sahit is doing a good job,’ he said, looking at the balcony I was on a few seconds ago.

‘How’s Kate?’ I asked casually, he cleared his throat and answered. ‘ She’s fine,’

‘I’m going back to my former pack tomorrow,’ I told him and he stayed silent. Why did I tell him this?

‘Is there a reason you’re telling me?’ he asked and I sighed.

‘I don’t know Azriel,’ I admitted.

‘Are you going to be alright?’

‘Yes, Wyatt is coming with me,’ I said and he nodded. He took a seat at the nearest bench and I followed suit. We were quiet, and I felt relaxed. Azriel made me feel this way… So at peace.
