The Alpha King's Heart
The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 89

Wyatt’s POV

I was deep in my work when my general mind linked to me, informing me about the attack at the border.

‘My mate is there, keep her safe at all costs!’ I ordered as I flung my office door open and shifted into my wolf form before I could even reach outside the palace. My heart was thumping, this is why I never let her go there but Adira is persistent to go there.

‘She’s fine, sire,’ Senator Lego’s voice rang through the mind link. I was relieved that she was alright. I was at the border in twenty minutes and my men soon arrived. A couple of generals rushed to me as I shifted back and someone gave me pants that I hastily put on.

“My mate, where is she?” I asked, looking around for her.

“Sir, she’s in the tent,” General Washington seemed confused and I nodded. I let out a sigh of relief, she was alright.

“How bad was the attack immediately?” I asked.

“It wasn’t bad,” Julius said, the generals seemed to be hiding something from me.

“It’s good then,” Aspen and Jett joined me.

“Only because we had tremendous help,” I raised my eyebrows and urged them to continue. “The Luna, your mate fought with us,”

My expression instantly changed from ease to anger.

“You let her fight!” I roared, and they paled.

“Our commanders tried to stop her but she was obstinate to fight,” Another general informed me, his head bowed low.

“She fought valiantly, honestly, everyone is still in awe of her,” Senator Lego said, and my breath shuddered, just thinking that she was out there and could have gotten hurt sent me on edge.

The generals and the senators gave me an account of what happened, they were truly impressed by Adira. They applauded her and what was more shocking was that she was an alpha female, not many knew that, and we intended on keeping it that way but it was out now.

“Where is she now?” I asked

“About that, some of our men were injured badly and she healed them,” he informed me and I took a step closer to the man who spoke. He instinctively took a step back, worried but I soon realized that he didn’t know the consequences of her healing people, she becomes fatigued.

I pushed past him and went inside the tent she was in. The air in my lungs almost escaped me when I found her on the floor, passed out. My mate was pale and covered in b***d, I crouched down and caressed her face. I kissed her forehead before carrying her in my arms.

“King Wyatt, she needs to be taken to the clinic, I’ll make something for her to take and it might strengthen her,” Doctor Khuna said, I nodded and took her to the new clinic they are still building.

“Please, bring her in here,” The doctor said. I was trying hard not to lose it. Adira was hardly breathing and her wolf was weak just like her. I held onto her hand after placing her on the bed and the doctor and male nurse started treating her, she had some cuts but they were not deep and most of the b***d on her body and clothes was not hers. They attached her to a machine and I was forced to stay away from the room. ” What did the doctor say?” My beta, Aspen, asked as he stood next to me.

I shrugged, my eyes still stuck on the door. We waited in silence until the door opened.

“She’ll be alright, alpha,” Doctor Khuna said, relieved. ” She lost so much energy, so we will keep her for a while just to observe her,”

I found reassurance to hear that and I nodded to the doctor. What Adira did was reckless, healing so many people knowing fully well that it hurts her too.

‘Our mate is selfless,’

‘Look where she is now,’ I barked at Rolf. I didn’t want her to be selfless, I want her to treasure her life and health first. I went into the room and a small smile made its way into my lips, she looked so coolheaded with her eyes closed and pale skin, all the b***d was wiped from her face. I sat in a chair next to her, and just kissed her hand several times, and tingles erupted, and she breathed loudly.

“I’m sorry… I’m f*****g so sorry,” I mumbled, it seemed when something happened to her, I was never there for her, it made me feel like a failure of a mate.

I went out to the camp a few hours later and everyone seemed to be talking about the new female alpha. I’m sure it will be full-blown news by tomorrow morning.

I was sitting at the high table in the huge tent along with my beta, gamma, and my brother who just joined us. I knew Azriel would come here, he was really concerned about anything that had to do with my mate, it irked me, and I glared at him but the idiot only ignored me.

“Begin,” I told General Washington, he was in charge of this border.

“We lost five brave men, fifty were injured, and out of them, twenty-one were poisoned with wolfsbane, they were in critical condition but the new Luna healed them…” he continued the detailed report. The dark wolves’ attack was abrupt, could it be that their leader knew Adira was here? We discussed the issue for hours, the men were tired and needed rest so we concluded.

Without another word to my men, I left the room and went to the clinic where my mate was but was surprised to replace Mother and the girls in the waiting area, all dozing in chairs. I checked the digital clock and saw it was past 02 am.

“Mom,” I called and they all got to their feet. My mother wrapped her hands around me.

“We heard what happened to Adira and rushed here,” she said.

“You look tired, you should go back to the palace,” I told them.

“But we wanted to see Adira,” Dalla murmured.

“Come back in a few hours, I’m sure she’s still resting,” I kissed my mom’s cheek before going in the direction of Adira’s room, she was still sleeping and I sat on the couch in the room and closed my eyes.
