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

‘We’ve just been talking about how good you are at giving orders lately, like a true Luna,’ Chloe said and I frowned. I didn’t realize that I’m beginning to act more like a Luna than before.

‘Your confidence grows each day, and I’m here for it,’ Jerico said and bowed, before leaving. I turned to Yang who just smiled. I blushed and turned around, going to the dining room, and to my surprise, the gamma was eating breakfast alone while reading the paper.

‘Good morning,’ he looked up from his paper with a smile.

‘Morning,’ I said, pulling out a chair and sitting. Chloe served me breakfast, mostly just fruits, and cheeses as I requested.

‘Are you okay?’ I asked, eyeing Jett.

‘Perfect, are you,’ he asked, completely ignoring his paper and giving me his attention.

‘Yes,’

‘Great,’

I slowly started to eat, and he did.

‘You keep staring,’ he said, looking at me again.

‘Is Corey your mate?’ I asked and he choked on his food, a servant instantly gave him water to drink before shooing her away.

‘Who’s that?’

‘Don’t play dumb. I know you are involved with him because you helped him out of the facility they held him here and you may have helped him again,’ I said, Jett stayed silent for a while, just watching me.

‘I’m not Gay,’

‘I didn’t say you were, Gamma,’

He exhaled and leaned against his chair.

‘Why didn’t you tell the king?’

‘Because it’s none of my business,’ I shrugged.

‘Then why are you asking?’

‘I’m curious about you,’ I said.

‘Well, what do you want to know about me, Little bird, by the way, you are popular these days and the pack wants to meet you,’ he said, Wyatt did tell me that the pack members have been wanting to meet me for a while now, but we’ll need to organize a proper introduction ceremony and then I’ll have to go to on a tour to visit the districts one by one.

‘I want to know about you and Corey, ‘ I said casually, ‘ He’s my uncle and I want to know who he associates with…’

Jett scoffed and rolled his eyes,

‘Corey and I met in Italy years ago, we got close… So close and just did it, it was the first time I’ve been with a man and it felt wonderful, however, he suddenly just disappeared on me and I met him five years later in that holding,’ he said, Jett seemed glum. Corey broke his heart.

‘He was your first love,’ I murmured and after a long time, a vague smile made its way to his lips and he nodded.

‘Yes, I guess,’

‘I’m sorry, Jett,’ he stared into my eyes and I saw different emotions flash in those nice eyes of his before his lips curled into a smile,

‘Thank you, Adira,’

‘You’re welcome.’

We finished breakfast without any awkwardness, and he drove me to the palace instead of my driver as he was heading that way.

Rachel fumed seeing me get out of Jett’s car, and she rushed to him while I smirked. The woman is always a bitch to me but I always have a snarky response for her and she leaves cussing.

‘I hate her,’ Kira murmured.

‘You and I both,’

‘Just how convenient it is that she got pregnant when our mate found us,’ she said and I stopped in my tracks, pondering her words, indeed, I’ve thought about it once but brushed it aside. How are we sure that baby is Wyatt’s? I need to talk to him about getting a paternity test, just to make sure.

‘Hi, baby,’ My mate gets up to greet me as I entered his office. I smiled at him and he bent his neck to give me a gentle kiss on the lips.

He kept his hands on my waist and said, ‘ I have prepared something for you,’

‘Really, what is it?’

Wyatt tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and raises his index finger, signaling me to wait for a second. He went back to his desk and pressed into his office phone; ‘Is it ready?’

‘Yes sir,’

Wyatt seemed excited about whatever he had for me.

‘He grabbed my hand and guided me out of his office, and took me to another wing. He pushed open a huge door similar to his opened and walked in,

‘You’re new office,’ he said and I stared at him, he grinned.

‘Like it?’

‘Are you kidding me? I love it!’ I jumped into his arms and he hugged me. I pulled away and gave him a quick kiss before looking around the excellent office space. It had white walls and high ceilings, a white office chair in front of a lovely mahogany desk, and two sofas. There was an elegantly styled bookshelf.

‘The view is amazing,’ I looked back at him with a smile.

‘I know, that’s why I picked it,’ he said. ‘ It smells like daisies too,’

I was looking out the tall window, beautiful daisy flowers were growing and it made me smile. I felt Wyatt’s breath against my skin and he kissed my neck, making a shiver go down my spine. I leaned my back against his front and closed my eyes as he softly sways my body and his softly to an unknown rhythm.

He hummed a song softly, and, the melody was familiar. ‘ Fill my heart with song, and let me sing forever, you are all I worship and adore, in other words, please be true,’ he repeated this melody as I searched my mind where I heard it from and I gasped, pulling away from him.

‘Azriel,’ I whispered. His eyes stared at me with anger.

‘What?’

‘That song you were humming, it’s Azriel’s favorite song,’ I said, remembering how much his brother loved the song. Wyatt’s jaw clenched and so did the fist and I took a step back.
