The Alpha King’s Heart: The King’s Mate

Zion told us more about his father and the dark king’s close relationship, I could tell he admired their evil work by how he spoke and my skin crawled.

‘Those were great men,’

‘They were killers,’ Azriel barked.

‘Aren’t we all,’ Zion smiled tightly. I could feel Azriel’s alpha aura roll off him in waves and I put my hand gently on his leg to calm him.

‘What is your plan here?’ Azriel asked.

‘Well, this is a family reunion,’ Zion smiled and I nodded at his word, making Corey cock an eyebrow in interest.

‘When will this reunion end?’ Azriel gritted his teeth.

‘Adira, I was thinking you stay here for a while,’ he said, eating his steak, and my eyes slightly bulged. I fixed my gaze on him.

‘I was thinking not, I want nothing to do with you, and I see no reason to stay here,’ I said, keeping my voice stable. His demeanor changed.

‘I have a life of my own, a mate that is probably going crazy looking for me now,’ I said. He mulled over my words for a while.

‘They won’t find us, and he doesn’t know I have you so you’ll stay here until I say so,’ he declared and stood up just as Azriel and I did. I was growling at him in anger but Zion was resolute on making me stay.

‘We are leaving and you won’t stop us,’ I growled at him.

‘You’re outnumbered,  I’ll think about your next move carefully if I were you,’ he said calmly. His eyes were dangerous. He wanted to use me for my powers now that he saw what I did. My eyes moved around the room and indeed, men were already surrounding us. Corey was acting nonchalant about all this and drinking now.

‘Corey, escort them to their separate bedrooms,’ Zion ordered and Corey stood up.

‘Let’s go,’ Without fighting, we followed the young man.

‘We are not staying in different rooms,’ Azriel barked.

‘Okay,’ Corey answered. I raised my eyebrow at him and he opened the door for us but surprisingly, he entered the room.

‘What, here to guard us still?’ I growled.

‘Zion is going out in a few hours and I’ll distract the guards so that you can leave,’ he said.

Wyatt’s POV

I smiled after talking to my mate, I couldn’t wait to have her in my arms, the time I spent apart from her made me insufferable to everyone. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live without her again.

I missed her beautiful smile and everything about her, she was the best part of my life. The door to my office opened and my beta and gamma walked in,

‘What are you smiling about?’ Aspen asked, taking the couch in front of me and I showed them a picture of Adira on my lock screen.

‘When is the Luna coming back?’ Jett asked, I noticed that she is beginning to like Adira now.

‘She’s on the way as we speak,’ I answered.

‘DAMN, look at that fucking smile on your lips, you’re whipped!’ Aspen said and I nodded my head, there was no point denying it. I loved this woman with every fiber of my being and I wanted to grow old with her, surrounded by our many kids and grandchildren, that’s if she wants kids.

‘I’m glad you’re happy,’ Aspen said, getting up to grab a bottle of our favorite whiskey from the mini bar in the office. We raised a toast to Adira, the woman I didn’t go looking for but found and she became the center of my life.

‘To love, for all of us,’ I said and we clinked glasses before gulping. Jett seemed a bit blue at that but nodded.

‘Are you alright?’ I asked, concerned.

‘Yes,’

‘To you, Wyatt, you deserve this… finally,’ he smiled at me. We interacted casually for a bit before we got to business.

‘Any updates, did you find the dark wolf that escaped custody?’ I asked, and Aspen shook his head.

I inhaled and showed them a screen on my laptop, the man had long white hair which made it hard to miss so how the fuck is it that he came here twice and left without being caught?!

‘He is fucking hard to miss, how could you not have found him?!’ I growled in frustration. They looked down, ashamed of their failure.

‘My men at the border say he’s skilled, but no worries, alpha, we’ll get him next time,’ Aspen assured me.

They updated me about the packs and I was pleased to hear that none of the packs were attacked by the dark wolves thanks to our new security details.

Somewhere during our meeting, I started feeling uneasy and agitated, my thoughts instantly went to my mate and I picked up my phone to call her but she didn’t answer.
