The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 71

Wyatt’s POV

I was in my office doing some last-minute work before I go to meet Adira at the airstrip when Rachel entered the office,

“Get out!” I barked at her, she frowned and dropped some files on my table.

“Be nice to me, King Wyatt, It’s not good for the child to be surrounded by that angry aura,” she said gently. I only glared at her.

“I heard you’re leaving the pack again,” she said, folding her arms against her chest. My eyes fell on her stomach, I could now hear the heartbeat of a child in there, and she was beginning to show. I experienced a strange feeling I’d never in my chest. It was pleasing.

“In less than five months, you’ve left the Diamond royal city twice!” she bewildered, ” King Wyatt, this is dangerous, what happens when there’s another attack,”

“I think my men are more than capable of defending the city, Rachel, now if you have nothing more to say, please leave,”

My people and Alphas were more than capable of defending their packs and we strengthen security in all areas again.

“What about me?!” she asked.

“What about you what?” I snarled and she touched her stomach.

“I’m carrying your future heir in my belly, don’t you think I’ll be a target of attack?”

“Heir,” I repeated. The dark wolves are after my position and will get rid of anyone who stands in the way, including a child but Rachel is safe as no one knows she’s carrying my child.

“I’m giving you a son, I’m confident,” she said, rising her head to meet my eyes.

“Okay,” I didn’t want to discuss further so I just agreed.

“So, what happens to me now that you’re going?” she asked and I was getting frustrated with her now.

“As discussed, don’t go anywhere without your assigned security and stay in the palace or your house, in your pack,” I shrugged. I moved past her but she gripped my hand and doubled over in pain. Worry instantly took over and asked,

“What’s wrong,”

“I feel pain in my stomach. It’s terrible, Wyatt,” she whimpered. I carried her in my arms and rushed her to her suite.

‘Call the doctor to Rachel’s room,’ I mind-linked Aspen.

‘Is she alright?’

‘No, just do as I said, no, I’ll just take her to the hospital,’ I said, turning around and going to another wing. Rachel was crying in my arms, gripping her stomach when she suddenly went limp.

I got to the palace clinic and professionals immediately surrounded me, followed by her doctor.

“My king, what happened,” he asked as I placed her on the bed.

“She was in pain,”

The doctor started examining her, and I sat on the sofa outside the room. Soon, Richard was here. He bowed and greeted me politely. I checked the time and realized I’d kept Adira waiting for an hour now, I stood up to leave, however, Richard spoke.

“You can’t leave her alone, King Wyatt,”

“I have an appointment, the doctors are more than capable of taking care of her,” I said coldly.

“What’s more important than what the doctor has to say regarding YOUR child,” he said and I sighed, rubbing my forehead. I promised to be there for Rachel. A few minutes later, the door opened.

“Is she alright?” I asked.

“She’ll be alright, but we must keep her here for some hours, and she needs to be observed for the following days to come,” he said.

“Is it normal that she was experiencing pain?” I asked.

“Yes, King Wyatt,” he said, the doctors discussed with us the common cause of pain during pregnancy before he left the room. I went in to see Rachel, she was awake now but her skin was pale and she looked frail.

“How do you feel?” I asked her,

“Scared,” she exhaled ” Stay with me, please,” she begged.

I checked my time again and my heart twisted knowing how much Adira wanted to learn the truth.

“You know I have to go,” I said. Rachel was about to cry.

“I’m so scared King Wyatt and you promised to be there for me. It’s not proper to leave me,” she said.

My phone rang and I checked it, Adira was calling. I answered and told her what happened, I was uneasy the whole time during our conversation. I hated disappointing her. She ended the call, and I tried calling her again but her phone was off.

“I’m sorry, Wyatt, I know you had plans,” Rachel said. I left the room, wanting time from her and her brother.
