The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 103

I looked up at Chance, his gaze was on Rachel who was busy shouting at Ambassador Delgado. She was red with anger.

“Do you know her?” I asked.

“Kinda, does she live here?” he asked, his gaze still on her.

“No, she’s the daughter of the former alpha of the Silver Dawn pack. Do you know her?”

“Oh… Kinda, but it’s… It.. just forget it,” he seemed disturbed and disoriented. I glanced at Kode, he knew what happened but said nothing. I wondered how my cousin knew Rachel but I didn’t want to prey on their relationship so I let it go.

“I’m starved, let’s go,” Chance smiled. Rachel turned to look at us and her eyes slightly bulged at the sight of Chance, and she swallowed. Now I was curious.

“She- she’s pregnant,” my cousin whispered in disbelief as he walked away.

I looked back at Rachel and she was gone.

Reaching outside the palace, we found Claudia and Emeldah waiting for us by car. A few men were talking to them politely, and they were smiling. They hugged me and we entered their limo. I could tell Chance was still confused about Rachel as he was mind-linking with Kode, however, I didn’t ask anything, just concentrating on my conversation with the girls.

“Well, he was cute but definitely not my type,” Claudia said.

“So what are you in the mood to eat,” Emeldah asked ME and I immediately answered.

“I want mashed potatoes, served with butterfly fish with crisp skin,” I said happily and they frowned.

“You’ve never had that?”

“You should try it,”

We reached a classy restaurant and we got out, the cousins were well-liked by the staff as they all rushed to welcome them. We sat at the table and ordered the food, we all engaged in conversation as we ate, the food wasn’t enough because they had huge appetites so they ordered more and finished it, and later, came the cocktails.

I looked up at Chance, his gaze was on Rachel who was busy shouting at Ambassador Delgado. She was red with anger.

“So what’s your deal with Rachel?” I asked when we were relaxed. The others were having discussions and ignoring us. He hesitated.

“So, her real name is Rachel, huh,” he murmured, amused.

“Yes, Rachel Tarion,”

“Hmm,”

“We met at an island I was staying at a year ago during my visit to an ally pack and we hit it off, we got drunk at the bar and had s*x.. lots of hot s*x but she left the following morning,” he said.

“That rude,”

“Yep, that’s Jessica, Odelia, or Rachel whatever her real name is alright and I don’t know why, I guess my inner wolf took a liking to her because he made me track her down… Well, that isn’t quite true. I wanted to see her again,”

“Did you replace her?”

“No, she found me actually at the island. I went there, hoping I’d see her, and I did! We had a good time, the second time she told me a different name just to keep it fun and I went along with it. After spending four days with me, she just disappeared again, leaving a note that said we couldn’t see each other,” He looked amused but a little unhappy.

“And you respected her wishes?”

“No, I searched for her the past few months to no avail, you can imagine my shock when I saw her earlier… and pregnant,”

“When was the last time you were together?”

” Eight or seven months ago,” he shrugged, drinking his wine

“Rachel Tarion,” he repeated her name softly. ” Such an interesting woman, don’t you think, cousin,”

“That she is,” I muttered bitterly.

“What is that I discern? Anger?”

“We don’t get along too well,”

“Why is that?”

“She’s in love with my mate and is making it difficult for me,” I all but growled.

“Is she even capable of loving anyone, that girl I met last year was only interested in one thing… Fun,”

Chance took out his phone from his denim jacket and opened it, showing me several pictures he took with Rachel. Rachel Tarion seemed different in all of these, she looked high in most of them but was happier and more outgoing. I started to wonder if the father of Rachel’s child was Chance and not Wyatt as she claimed. She seemed defensive when I asked her to take the paternity test.

Chance stopped all of a sudden, ” She’s pregnant, Adira, Rachel is pregnant and I could be the father of her baby,”

I was silent while he watched me.

“She claims the father of the baby is my mate,”

I heard gasps go around the table, and everyone was looking at him now but he was agitated.

“Oh gods, I might be a dad,” he said.

You can take a paternity test because Rachel claims that Wyatt is the father of her unborn child,”

“No!” Chance stood up. ” I’m not letting another man raise a child of mine. I need to speak to her now,” He shot up and left the restaurant in a hurry. I couldn’t believe how things were working out for me right now. I didn’t have to move a finger, thank you, moon goddess, I said silently. I laid my head on Kode’s shoulder and smiled. Finally, things are getting into place.
