The Alpha King's Heart -
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 44
I ignored Azriel the whole time in the gym and kept myself busy with Monique.
” You didn’t tell me how you and the hot alpha are related,” she said, eating her salad. ” I heard his the king’s brother, so does that mean you know the king?” her eyes widen as if she realized something important.
” Kinda,” I had not told anyone at school I was Wyatt’s mate.
” Really?!”
” It doesn’t matter,” I g*****d, not wanting to indulge.
” By the way, I want to invite you somewhere on Friday night,” she said, smiling at me with a glint of mischief.
” Where?”
” An elite party. We are wearing gowns and all,” that’s all the information she gave me.
” I’ll see what I have on my schedule then and inform you,”
” I want you to come with me,” she pouted, I couldn’t resist how cute she was.
” We’ll see,”
Friday was the blue moon and I wanted to spend it with Wyatt. That was when my wolf would finally acknowledge him as our mate. I couldn’t wait.
The school siren sounded that indicating that school had ended. Lucas remained for football practice and I was to go home alone since I was avoiding Azriel like the plague. I contemplated calling the driver but he will have to make two trips here for me and Lucas when his practice ended so I decided to walk.
Grabbing my phone and connecting my AirPods, I walked from the school premises but didn’t get far when my eyes saw the man I was avoiding, he was standing against the sidewalk.
My stomach was in a knot as he approached me. I only nodded at him curtly, I couldn’t be rude after all. I walked past him but he reached out to grab my hand.
” You’re avoiding me,” he said. I sighed and took my hand from him. The emotions on his face were unknown to me, and I smiled tightly
” Not at all,” I chimed. ” I’m busy,”
” Did I do something wrong?” he asked
” No, Azriel. Us hanging out or whatever this is, is stressing out Wyatt, and I don’t want you to fight,” I said quietly. He exhaled and moved away, I wish he hadn’t. F**k. Why did I think that?
” Why must you do everything to make him happier?” he asked, unable to believe.
” Because he will do the same,”
” Then you’re dumb,” he said and I narrowed my glare on him.
” Excuse me?”
His breath shuddered and he pulled me closer to him by the waist, my eyes bulged at his sudden actions. His heart was pounding and I could feel his hot breath on me.
“What- what are you doing,” I stuttered. His gaze fell on my lips for a long time, he wanted to k**s me.
” Stop it,” I growled, he moved away from me. Looking at me longingly one last time before he disappeared into the woods. I clutched my chest tightly and breathed heavily, my knees were wobbly and I sat down. Thinking about Azriel and his actions. Was he drunk? His eyes were dark and the aura around him was. I ran a hand through my hair and stood up to walk away.
I was home in ten minutes. I was surprised to see my mate and all his inner circle there. I stepped back, knowing well that I had the scent of Azriel and he will be mad. I slowly turned around to leave before they spotted me but I wasn’t too lucky.
” Baby!” Wyatt got up, smiling at me. I forced a smile, just hoping he wouldn’t embrace me.
” Hi, Little bird, wanna join us?” Aspen raised a glass to me. They were all looking at me now.
” Are you alright, Adira? You look a little pale,” Dalla said, I heard concern in her voice.
” I’ll take a shower first, I’m a bit tired,” I said, looking back and wishing Azriel would walk in so that they don’t smell him on me. He didn’t.
Wyatt walked over and wrapped his arms around my frame tightly. It only took him a second to smell his brother on me and he stiffened. My body went rigid as well, he knew Azriel touched me. I expected him to growl and question me but he didn’t.
Wyatt only moved back and asked, ” Are you alright?”
I nodded.
” Go take a shower and join us,” he said gently. From the looks of his friends, they saw something was wrong.
” Okay,” my voice came out hoarse and I rushed upstairs. I stripped and got into the shower before going into a steaming bath. I relaxed and closed my eyes. I later opened my eyes and realized I had fallen asleep.
I wore jeans and one of Wyatt’s smart shirts. I tied my hair into a messy bun and wore some perfume before going downstairs.
” Everyone having a good evening?” I asked, they all looked my way and answered. My mate pulled me on his lap and I sat there comfortably.
” Where’s Faye,” I asked, noticing she is the only one missing.
” What do you think?” Eva winked, looking upstairs and I grimaced. Is she with Azriel right now? Well, good because I planned on staying far from him. He was a peculiar man.
The atmosphere was good and lovely, everyone was chatting and laughing.
