The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 102

The next days were busy. I’ve been talking to the Lafayette family, especially the cousins and I’m most pleased to announce that Alaric was doing so much better. Just yesterday, he called me to invite us for another dinner without any shootings or b***d, his words, not mine, however, because of my schedule, we couldn’t manage to attend so we’ve moved it to another week.

We managed to get all the signatures we needed to break the oath made with the Tarions. We were sitting around a large rectangular table with Wyatt at the end of it and me on his right while the senators and the ambassadors along with Tarion’s siblings occupied the rest of the seats. Rachel was glaring at me while Richard looked pissed, this was odd behavior from him. He always has been composed.

“The senate has reached a legal decision on this matter and I’m happy to announce that the king owes nothing to the Tarion family,” Senato Sorel said, smiling lightly. This is the one man who had my back and we worked well together, he gladly accepted orders from me, unlike the others who were always hesitant because of my gender. ” The grounds for dissolving of the oath was solid, he found his true mate and Queen,” he continued.

“But I’m the mother of his child, his heir,” Rachel shouted.

“That child is not the king’s heir. They will have a title but you are not an official Luna hence that child has no claims to his position,” Rachel was livid now and he glared at the old man who just spoke with much contempt.

“Lady Rachel, you should know that given the proper education you got,” he gave her a side-eye.

Rachel was silent, just huffing.

“Luna Adira is the true Luna of the Diamond Pack and a healer Luna, do you think we will choose you over her,’

“She has nothing and will die with nothing,” Rachel spat.

“Luna Adira has a strong pack, the Topaz pack which was recently brought to the parliament’s knowledge, and now, if the rumors are true, she has the Lafayette family’s support. Just an association to that name cements her status and power among the packs,” Added senator Lego.

The whole meeting I didn’t utter a single word to defend my position, the senators were doing all the talking and fending me against Rachel and the people on her side. I was amazed by this show of support. Wyatt was pleased and had complacency written on his face. He held my hand the entire meeting and kissed it.

“The patriarch of the Tarion family requested something, for the time wasted, and the king agreed,” One of the ambassadors of the silver Dawn Pack.

The next days were busy. I’ve been talking to the Lafayette family, especially the cousins and I’m most pleased to announce that Alaric was doing so much better. Just yesterday, he called me to invite us for another dinner without any shootings or b***d, his words, not mine, however, because of my schedule, we couldn’t manage to attend so we’ve moved it to another week.

I eyed my mate because it was news to me, ” Land, and of course, they want to keep the alliance with the Diamond pack,” he said and Wyatt nodded.

‘You agreed,’ I mind-linked Wyatt, and he nodded.

‘Land is a small price to pay, already, we have some of their people here for business,’ he answered, ‘ and the alliance doesn’t only benefit them but us too,’ he explained.

After all, was spoken, I sighed and straightened my back as I began to speak confidently; ” Thank you, everyone, for making this day possible,” I began and they nodded. ” My wolf is whining for us to complete the mating rituals, King Wyatt will have to mark me during the Luna ceremony as per tradition,”

Ambassador Delgado exhaled, glancing at Rachel and then Richard who was tight-lipped the entire meeting. ” Well, if Lady Rachel’s wolf refuses to give up the idea of holding onto a man who is not her true mate, then, whatever will happen when you two mark each other, we won’t hold you accountable,”

Rachel Tarion hit her hand on the table and got to her feet.

“I will not accept this! my wolf will go feral, you all know how delicate she is,” she said and I rolled my eyes. For so long, she has kept Wyatt from marking me because of her ‘ heartbroken wolf,’ but no more. I decided to stop playing nice with her. As much as I want that baby in her belly unharmed, I won’t let Rachel have her way.

“Brother, you can’t let them do this,” she whined but her brother wasn’t paying attention to her, his gaze was on me. Rachel shook him, acting like a brat, and slowly, he tore his gaze away to look at her.

“Well, now, that everything has been said. I’ll take the title deeds to the land and leave,” he smiled, it was creepy.

“We are already processing that,” Wyatt said.

The meeting was over and everyone stood up, bowing as Wyatt and I left the room first. Once we were in the hallway, he grabbed my waist and twirled me around, kissing me deeply.

“Did you f*****g see that?! They love you!”

He kissed me again and again while I giggled at his excitement. The guards that were standing were blushing and facing the floor but Wyatt didn’t care.

“Put me down,” I said gently.

“No,” he shook his head.

“I have a Luna ceremony to plan,”

“I can’t wait to mark you,” he said and I took his hand, leading him to my office as it was closer.

“What is it,”

“Wyatt, Rachel is still carrying a child in her,” I said and his excitement vanished. Even though I wanted Wyatt to mark me, I couldn’t put an innocent life in danger.

“But I want to mark you,” he grumbled. I kissed him, just to offer some comfort.

“I know baby, and you will after the baby is born,” I told him.

“But what if…” he hesitated, Wyatt was getting used to the idea of having a child and might have started to love it. He couldn’t even bring himself to say the words.

“No matter the results of the paternity, no harm shall come to it because of us,”

If Rachel’s wolf ever goes untamed, we wouldn’t know what could happen to the unborn baby. Wyatt kissed my lips.

“I hate that you’re so good sometimes but I love you more for it,”

His fingers were gently going down my back and I bit my lower lips, enjoying the sensations of his touch. The warmth and pleasure it was bringing me but I couldn’t enjoy any more when the door opened and Leila came in.

“Forgive me!” she turned around, I got off my mate and tidied my clothes.

“Leila,” I sighed, going to my seat. Wyatt looked shameless as always.

“Goodbye baby, I love you,” he said, kissing my lips.

“I’m sorry, Miss,” Leila murmured. ” I came to inform you that Mr. Chance and Kode Lafayette are here for you,”

“Oh, I totally forget I was having lunch with them,” I said, getting up. I walked outside and indeed, my cousins were there, looking dashing. They kissed my cheek.

“Where are Claudia and Emeldah?” I asked, looking around for them with my eyes.

“They are exploring,” Kode said.

“I can show you around before we go,” I offered and they nodded. They each took my arm, and I was walking in the middle. The Lafayette family had a kind of aura that made them untouchable, yet alluring to the eyes. I felt many eyes on us as we walked, others were bowing so low, lower than ever while the ladies bat their lashes at them. They were quite popular too!

“The palace is magnificent,” Chance said. I gave them a quick tour of the place but we couldn’t finish it because the palace is massive and we were hungry. We were on our way outside to meet Emeldah and Claudia when Chance froze in his tracks.

“Oh f**k,” he muttered. I followed his gaze to the far end of the corridor and my eyes found Rachel Tarion.
