The Alpha’s Hated Breeder (megan and zade) by didi adeyemi

Chapter 13 

Kaya woke me up the next morning just as I had asked. I was exhausted and the last thing I wanted was to be around Zade. While I got ready in leggings and a tank, I couldn’t help but pray that something would happen to cancel the training session but my prayers weren’t answered because the guards were outside my room ready and waiting to lead me to the training field. 

I was shocked however when I got there and I saw Landon instead of Zade. I was confused because Zade had made it perfectly clear that he was the one going to train me. I stopped in my tracks and looked around wondering if I had made a wrong turn at some point or if I had somehow missed Zade’s presence. I searched the entire training field for him but I couldn’t see him. 

“Hey, Megan,” Landon called out making a few heads turn to me. He waved me offer and I kept my head down to hide thé embarrassment creeping up my cheeks. “Zade had some urgent work to do so you are stuck with me for today. I hope you don’t mind.” 

I just shrugged because the truth was that it didn’t matter whether I minded or not. If I didn’t train with Landon, I would have to face Zade and that was the last thing I wanted after last night. Landon could feel the lack of enthusiasm from me and I could tell that he wanted to push on it but at the last minute, he decided against it. He led me towards the far corner of the training field where we couldn’t be watched by everyone. 

“I want you to feel as comfortable as you can,” he explained and despite my effort to remain nonchalant, I was touched and I couldn’t help but smile. “I know I wasn’t your first choice for a trainer but I am convinced that we can make this work out. Zade explained that you were pregnant and I did some research and some workout that was good for pregnant women.” 

“You did?” I asked and he nodded as if it were the simplest thing in the world. 

I was shocked. It was weird for someone to do something for my benefit. I didn’t know how to respond to it so I Just kept my eyes 

s on the ground and fiddled with my fingers. Landon either didn’t notice my discomfort or he didn’t care because he was all smiles as he laid out the workout mats. 

“I read that stretches are what you need more,” Landon explained. “Do you know how to swim?” I nodded. “You should probably do laps a few times a week. There is a pool behind the palace that you can use.” 

“Are you sure I can use it?” I asked not wanting to get into trouble with Zade and Landon looked over at me like I had just grown three heads.

“Why wouldn’t you be allowed to?” I stayed silent. “Is everything alright with you, Megan? If something is wrong. then you can talk to me.”

“It’s fine,” I cut him off but it was clear that he didn’t believe me. “Let’s just start with the training, please.” 

I could tell he wanted to say more but at the last minute, he nodded. 

As much as I regret to admit it, I enjoyed training with Landon. He was patient and kind with me and he made sure to correct me when I was doing something wrong. He would ask before putting his hand on me to correct me and he made sure I laughed during it. 

By the time we were done, I felt lighter and I prayed that Zade would permanently keep Landon as my trainer. I helped him pack up the mats despite his protests that he could do them himself and helped him take them in. We were in a comfortable silence as I followed him to the storage room to put the mats away. 

“Megan,” Landon began and I turned to him. He looked awkward and out of place as he fought to find the right words. “I know you don’t see me as your friend but I would very much like to be.” 

“Why?” I asked and his brows scrunched. “Aren’t you supposed to take solidarity with Zade? He is your best friend after all.” I couldn’t keep the bitterness out of my voice. I didn’t know why I was angry about it but I was. “You don’t have to keep an eye on me because Zade asked you to. I’m fine and I am not running away.” 

“I know you’re not running away and I am not here because of Zade,” I didn’t believe him. I turned to leave but he grabbed my elbow and turned me to face him. “Listen to me, Megan. This isn’t about Zade and contrary to what you believe, I am not Zade’s lap dog. Zade is a possessive bastard and there is no way he would ask me to spy on you.” 

I couldn’t help but laugh at his choice of words. “The only reason Zade would be possessive over me is so that I don’t run away with his child.” 

Landon smiled as if he knew something I didn’t. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that.” 

I wanted to ask what he meant by that but a guard walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ears. Landon just nodded to me and gave me a look that clearly said that the conversation wasn’t over. He left without another word and I was left trying to find my way back to the room. Kaya was seated there waiting for me and as soon as she saw my face, she stood to her feet. 

“What’s wrong?” he asked and I stayed silent. “Did Zade do something?”

“Zade wasn’t there, Landon was.” 

Her brows raised. “Tell me everything.”

I told Kaya everything. I didn’t know why it was easy for me to trust her and not Landon but there was something about her presence that just calmed me. She was the first female that I could consider a friend and for me, that was amazing. Having a female friend had always been my dream and now that I had a glimpse of what that could feel like, I wanted more. There was a nagging voice in the back of my head that told me she was spying for Zade but another part of me didn’t care. I was more than willing to take that risk with her but not Landon. 

After I had told her, she just told me to be careful and trust my gut because she couldn’t tell me what to do. I hated that fact but I knew she was right. It was a lot better for me to come up with my decision by myself. I spent the entire day thinking about it and when I couldn’t anymore, I decided to go out for a walk. Kaya wanted to go with me but I begged her to just give me a second. I needed a second to myself. She was hesitant but she agreed. 

I took a walk and although the guards were shocked to see me alone, neither of them tried to stop me. I wanted to check out the pool that Landon had spoken about but I remembered that I didn’t pack my swim suit so I went to the garden instead. The air was crisp and cold and I just closed my eyes and allowed it hit my face. It was calming and it reminded me of home. I couldn’t help but think about my former life. I wondered how Ryan and Jessica were dealing with the aftermath of what happened. 

“What are you 

you doing here?” Zade’s sharp tone snapped me out of my reverie and I turned to him. 

There were splatters of blood on his face and shirt. His eyes were almost black in the moonlight as if he were seconds away from shifting and his hands were tinged red. He looked terrifying and I had to take a step back. His eyes were trained on me in anger and I quickly wracked my brain for what I could have done wrong. 

“I asked you a question, Megan,” his voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. “Do not make me force the answer from you.” 

“I just wanted some air. I didn’t know you were here. If you want me to leave then I can.” 

He closed the distance between us in under a second and he grabbed my chin in a firm grip. I could feel the blood smear on my skin and I couldn’t help but wonder whose blood it was. He leaned in so his hot breath was fanning my face as he spoke. “Do not ever come back here again. Am I clear?” 

“Crystal.” 

He released me and I took off running. I didn’t know where I was going and I wasn’t concentrating until I bumped

into someone. I would have fallen on my ass if not for a hand that wrapped around my waist and kept me standing. 

“What’s wrong, Megan?” Landon asked. “Is someone following you?”

I shook my head. “It was Zade. I was in the garden for some air and he just came and there was blood and he yelling. Well he wasn’t really yelling but he was pissed and I don’t know why because I was just standing there. I didn’t touch or do anything and-” 

“Breathe, Megan, this wasn’t about you,” Landon instructed and I forced myself to take a large breath. I watched as he carefully dragged his thumb across my chin to clean off some of the blood. “You were in Emilia’s Garden.” 

I scoffed when the words settled. I honestly didn’t understand why Zade kept me around if he was still hung up on his first mate. How did he justify outing me in her room but not me in her garden it made zero sense to me but then again, Zade was just a confusing person as a whole.

“Try not to think about it too much,” Landon’s voice cut through my foggy mind. “Come, I know somewhere yo can go to clear your mind.” 

I looked at his outstretched hand and I took it.
