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

Adira’s POV

My eyelids fluttered open but soon squinted my eyes shut because just like my body, my eyes were heavy. I tried to open them and a small smile made its way to my lips when I fully opened them. Wyatt was sleeping next to me in the chair.  His hair was messy and failing to his forehead, I must admit, my mate was truly breathtaking.

I looked around the room to find myself in a hospital room, it was nicely dimmed and my favorite daisy flowers scattered beautifully around the room.

‘Kira,’ I called unto my wolf and she immediately jumped in excitement.

‘You’re awake!’

‘You seem upbeat,’ I said.

‘Yes! I feel stronger and brighter,’ she said.

I watched my mate sleep for a few minutes and decided to try and mind-link his wolf, Rolf.

‘Close your eyes and take me through the link,’ Kira said, and I squinted my eyes.

‘How?’

‘Just picture us in one place and I’ll do the rest,’ I wasn’t sure if that was possible but decided to trust her, Kira knew better than me. I only saw black for a few seconds, but a channel opened, and my wolf just appeared next to him.

Rolf was sleeping but he woke up and got into a sitting position when he felt me. HE WAS MIGHTY, bigger than any wolf I’d ever seen in my life. He radiated confidence and definite power. I could see the different aura surrounding him and if Kira was not a strong wolf herself, she’d be on her belly in submission, groveling.

‘Mi amor,’ he said and I could swoon right now. My heart thumped in my chest and delicious shivers ran down my body. THAT VOICE WAS EVERYTHING! It was silky and deep. My wolf was shamelessly jumping and purring in front of the wolf.

‘You need to calm down that excitement,’ I hissed quietly.

‘Excuse me, did you just tell me to relax, look at the wolf in front of us!’ she squealed. I was blushing and embarrassed on her behalf. She was gushing over him like a pup would for her crush.

‘Hi, I’m Kira,’ she approached, staring right into his face and the large wolf licked her face, making her jump back in excitement.

‘ He licked me!’  I just couldn’t watch this.

‘I know your name, you’re my mate,’ Rolf spoke again confidently. Goosebumps, goosebumps appeared on my skin.  He looked and sounded like a god. While the powerful wolf looked regal, still in that fierce position, Kira was up and down, sniffing and licking him sometimes.

‘You smell so good, just like your human,’ she said, taking another whiff, this gal needed to chill or she’ll chase him away.

‘You’re beautiful, Kira, really breathtaking,’ he said and I was reminded on the first day Wyatt saw me, he said those words.

‘You too, you’re so strong and handsome,’

I  got back to my reality and left the two lovebirds to interact when I felt warm tingles against my skin. Wyatt was awake now,

‘Hey, little bird,’ He muttered with a smile and I frowned.

‘Don’t call me that,’ I barked and he raised his hands in surrender, it was obvious he wasn’t going to let it go.

‘You’re cuter when you are annoyed,’ he told me and I pouted, he slammed back into his seat and grasped his chest,

‘Oh, I can’t resist you. Fuck, you’re lovely,’ The alpha king said in a whisper, pulling himself close to me and kissing my lips tenderly. The kiss tasted so pleasant and I was greedy for more, pulling him by the collar of his shirt but he pulled back.

‘You’re perfect,’ he sighed deeply, making my heart accelerate.

His compliment made me redden, he did that a lot. Praise me for my beauty. I turned my head away from him so that he shouldn’t see me blush.

He raised his onyx eyes to me and stared at me seriously, I knew what was coming, he will scold me for going into that fight and be angry at me for healing those men but I don’t regret what I did, I saved many lives, our people’s lives!

‘What you did…’

‘I don’t regret it,’ I declared vehemently. ‘ I couldn’t just sit and watch them die when I can help, It’s not in my nature… I know you want me safe and away from the fights but you can’t keep me out of it, Wyatt. I’m your mate, and Luna, they are my people-‘ he cut me by raising my hand and kissing it gently.

‘I’m most proud of you,’ he said, his words surprised me, wasn’t he going to be mad at me? ‘ You were so fearless and strong, and because of you many lives were saved,’ he was gentle with his words, and a tiny smile spread on his beautiful lips.

‘I was worried and angry when I saw you in that state but I got to think, you’re my Queen… ‘ he said,

‘Unofficially,’ I mumbled, and he scowled, I shrugged.

‘I can’t continue shielding you away from all the bad in the pack and at some point, you would have to spread your wings and soar, after all, you are a bird, just a bigger one now,’ His words brought joy to my heart.

‘I will let you be actively involved as you want and have your voice in pack matters, I trust your decisions because if we are to rule together, we need to stand by each other,’ he said, and I wrapped my arms around his neck,

‘Thank you, my love,’

It’s all I’ve wanted. To be more engaged in real issues.

‘Easy, love. You’re still in pain,’ he chuckled at my eagerness. I didn’t care about whatever he was saying right now, I kissed him again and again while his hands were raised, not touching me but he did reciprocate my kiss. The door opened and we pulled away. I sighed inwardly when my eyes met Azriel, and then went to the doctor before going back to the former.
