The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 67
Adira’s POV
The estate has been so cold lately. I wore my legging and bomber after training, taking a walk through the back roads alone. As I walked, I couldn’t help but feel eyes on me. I decided to follow my instincts and turned through the path I saw first. It got eerily creepy and this is the time I should have done a 180 but what can I say, I was a sucker for trouble. My hearing was amazing and I could hear everything, even the breathing of someone in here.
“You know you’re there,” my voice was low but I had a feeling whosoever was out there heard me. I felt a whiff of wind behind and I turned slowly. A beautiful pale woman was standing in front of me, her eyes were light red and she didn’t have a scent.
“Hello, there,” I waved my hand. She must be the reason why Azriel came out here and I was right when Wolf came out, happy to see me as he was waggling his tail. I stroked his fur with my fingers all while keeping an eye on the woman.
“Adira,” the woman sighed, her voice was soft and smooth.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“None of your business, Adira,”
“Well, you do know my name so it is my business,” I answered, crossing my arms against my chest. The woman smirked and turned around to leave. I followed her and she didn’t protest. We came to a small lovely dark cottage. I could hear water not far from here and wild animals.
“Are you a friend of Azriel’s?” I asked.
“Yes,” she answered.
“You stay here?”
“Yes,”
“Why?”
“Because I want to, Adira Wade,”
She stood against the huge tree that gave shade to the whole area. “You’re not a shifter,”
“I’m a vampire,” she said nonchalantly and I raised my eyebrows. Vampires and shifters didn’t get along, and no vampire can enter a shifter’s land without permission from the king.
“King Wyatt let you in the territory?” I asked and she shook her head.
“Azriel is an Alpha too, he easily let me in,” she said. I nodded, and she went towards the patio, I followed her. She looked at me and asked; ” Aren’t you leaving?”
“What is your name?” she waited before answering.
“Kate, my name is Kate,” she said slowly. Kate was emotional for some reason, and her aura was untamed. She was angry and lost, she was missing someone important to her. I moved my body closer to her,
“Are you alright, Kate?”
She only nodded and entered her home, coming out with two garden chairs from the house. She brought out a beer and water for me, I looked her up and down before getting it from her hands.
“Azriel told me you don’t like beer,” she said.
“Does Azriel talk about me?” I asked. His face played in my head and a small smile plastered on my lips.
“Yes, he fancies you,” my eyes bulged out and Kate smiled at me for the first time. ” you are oblivious as he says?”
“No, he hates me sometimes,” I said, opening the warm water.
I stayed with Kate longer before Azriel appeared, he was surprised to see me there but soon cleared his throat and approached.
“Adira, and you,” he said.
“So, this is why you kept coming here?” I said. He ignored me and glared at Kate
“You told her what you are,” She nodded.
“You were gone too long, do you have news for me?” she asked and stood up.
“Yes,” I wondered what they were talking about. He took her away and they spoke quietly, sending glances at me sometimes. I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation but it was impolite so I chose to pet the wolf sitting next to me.
“Where did you go?” I asked. He must have been the one to call Azriel here.
Azriel and Kate were back.
“Adira, let’s go before Wyatt sent a battalion here,” he exhaled, extending his hand to me. I was surprised by this gesture but I took it. I smiled at the pretty vampire.
“Bye, Kate. See you, soon,”
“Kate?” Azriel asked, surprised. So she didn’t even tell him her name.
“I couldn’t refuse it when she asked,” she shrugged. Was I using my Alpha aura on her without knowing? Azriel stared at me and he nodded slowly
“Well, it’s better than calling you, you or vampire,” he shrugged and he guided me out of there. We walked silently through the forest, I didn’t know if he realized that he was holding my hand still but he seemed comfortable so I didn’t pull away.
“Why didn’t you just tell me that she was there,” I asked at last.
“That I have a vampire living in our territory. You know that shifters are not friendly with vampires right?” he asked and I nodded.
“Why is she here?” I asked.
“Shut up, please,” he said and I frowned, he was always so crude with me.
“Is she your lover?” he didn’t answer, just kept walking. I kept asking so many questions but was met with silence.
“Kate told me you fancy me, is that true,” he stopped walking and turned to me with a peculiar gaze. His heart was pounding against his chest even though he was trying to control it. He smirked, ” Would you like that?” his tone was taunting, and playful. I swallowed and took a step back.
I pushed him away “No,”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” I hissed, moving past him. “You’re so full of yourself,”
