The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 101

“F**k, snipers,” Kode growled, he was shaking with anger. He ran outside with the others following. I looked at the man who was struggling to breathe. B***d was gushing out of his mouth.

“Lia, call the doctor!” Carl shouted.

“I can help,” I whispered. My mind was still in a frenzy and my body was trembling but I needed to help him, he was in a bad state.

“The bullets need to be removed first,” Wyatt said. The doctor came within ten minutes, and they took him to one of the bedrooms. I sat on Wyatt’s lap where he held me tenderly and he was rubbing comforting patterns on my back.

Everyone stood up an hour later when the doctor descended the stairs, he looked tired but he smiled.

“Doctor, how is my father,” Caleb asked.

“I won’t lie, he’ll be in immense pain for the coming weeks as the bullets used were silver and laced in wolfsbane but he will heal,” he said. “He just needs to rest,”

I could accelerate his healing and I planned on doing that. ” Do you want to see him?” Caleb asked me, I was surprised he picked me of all people present but none of them looked vexed. They nodded encouragingly and I took his extended hand.

“I’d like that. Thank you,” We walked upstairs. Alaric was lying in a huge bed, machines were attached to his body and he was using oxygen to breathe yet he was grunting in pain. He wasn’t fully unconscious.

I sat by his bed and put my hand on his bandage. ” What are you doing, Adira?” Caleb asked gently.

“I have healing abilities,” I informed him.

“Right, you’re an alpha female,” he nodded. A blue light appeared above the bandage and I felt lighter, I got up and smiled.

“No more pain for him,”

“Thank you,” he smiled at me

“No problem,”

We went back downstairs and Kode and Chance were back, covered in b***d.

“Did you catch the perpetrators?” Caleb asked, one could tell that after Alaric, he was in charge.

“Yes, they are in the cells,” Chance answered with an arrogant expression.

“How many were they and how did they enter the gates?” he asked sternly, his gaze was on Carl.

“Our security was breached by one of our men, it won’t happen again,” he answered.

“Who attacked you?” Wyatt asked.

“Zion, our cousin. He has been targeting us for a while now but we’ve never had such a close call,” Caleb answered. Zion mentioned that he loathed the Lafayette family for taking what was his which was false.

“Do you know him?” Carl asked.

“Yes, he’s the new leader of the dark wolves and he wants to mate and mark my mate for power,” Wyatt gritted his teeth, he pulled me closer to him by the waist.

“What?!” Lia growled, her eyes flashing purple.

“He’s a f*****g sick bastard,” Chance growled.

They were shocked after I told them everything we knew of Zion.

“He’s power hungry just like his father,” Carl said. ” And Corey, he’s just following him,” he looked at Caleb who growled lowly at the mention of their brother.

“Corey isn’t part of his team, he helped me escape Zion,”

“He still shall be punished for watching Zion do all this and not reporting his deeds,” Caleb was resolute with the decision.

I wrapped my arms around Wyatt. He kissed my hair. ” You need to rest, we should go now,”

I pouted and the rest of the family was unhappy about that.

“We’ll visit again soon,” I told them, and they all hugged and thank me. Lucas came out from the room he was in after saying goodbye to his new cousins.

“We should grab lunch soon,” Claudia said, giving me a quick hug followed by Emeldah.

“We should,” I said.

We got home an hour later, and Wyatt carried a sleeping Lucas to his room.

“You gave him condoms,” he grinned when I said that,

“He’s a wolf, and has a high libido, wouldn’t want babies running around here,” he said, getting on his knees to take off my heels.

“But I know whose babies I want around here,” he winked, touching my stomach.

“Yep. We’ll have a child running around here, just not mine,” I mumbled, thinking of Rachel, gods, I hated that she angered me so much. None of it was Wyatt’s fault yet I associated him with it. I stood up and went to the clothes section where I picked out a pair of sexy pajamas. He sighed loudly and ran a hand in his hair.

“Come,” he said. It sounded like an order yet his voice was soft. He opened his arms to me and I hugged his waist.

“It was a long day, how are you?” his voice was gentle and I peered up at him. Tears welled in my eyes and when he gave me a small smile, I cried.

“So overwhelming,” I wiped my tears and he carried me to the bedroom. He lay down and I lay on top of him, my head on his chest while he stroked my hair.

“Today was a bit much, huh,” he sighed.

“Wyatt, I was so content for a second there but all that was almost taken away, my grandfather who I met today and accepted us as part of his family almost died,”

“He’s a strong wolf, he survived,” he said.

“It felt so empowering being part of the Lafayette family. You are my family, Wyatt, but it was different with them… It was incredible,” I smiled.

“I want you to be happy… So happy. You deserve it, my love,” he whispered. I kissed his lips gently for a long time.

Wyatt and I talked the night away, he told me the plans he had for us and I was beaming, they were beautiful goals indeed. He wanted kids, lots and lots of them. The thought of birthing a child honestly scared me, I haven’t heard pleasant things about childbirth but I didn’t tell him.

“But it’s your body so, it’s your call. I’ll be alright with anything,” he said quickly. I chuckled.
