Chapter 125: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 125

Adira

The mark on my neck was burning, and I was throwing up constantly now.

“I’m scared,” Rachel cried, touching me but her touch brought me pain. The door opened and the man I loathed entered, Zion looked at me with disdain and grabbed my hair.

“Your body is rejecting my mark,” he shouted, his hands were shaking and I could tell that he wasn’t at full strength.

“You’re hurting her!” Rachel shouted, pushing him away from me violently and he slapped her across her face. Angry, I stood up and grabbed Zion by the throat, digging my claws into his skin and b***d streamed down. He growled and hit me with his knees in my stomach, making me fall back and Rachel caught me.

“Are you alright?” she asked, glaring at Zion.

“Yes, are you?”

“I’m good,”

“Come with me, the sorcerer needs to know why your f*****g body is rejecting my mark!” he grabbed my arm and dragged me into an empty room. He pushed me against the wall and I held it for support, I was weak.

“What are you doing?! Can’t you see she’s unwell!” Rachel growled. I was more worried about Rachel, her breaths were labored and she had a black eye from when he punched her.

“Markory!” he shouted. Guards were surrounding us and a man in a dark outfit came, the room became instantly cold and everyone bowed to the sorcery. He was old with long white hair that reached his legs. He bowed to Zion.

“Dark king, you summoned me,”

“Why is her body rejecting my mark? You told me that once I mark her, I’ll have power!” he screamed.

“Well, she has a mate, my king,” he said gently. Zion scowled at me and I glared at him.

“What should I do? Marking her made me lose my strength!”

“Well, if her mate was no longer in her life, her body wouldn’t reject the mark,” The sorcerer said, glancing at me.

Rachel’s breath shuddered and she held me close, she was scared, really scared now.

“We must attack the Diamond pack, now. I want Wyatt dead,” he declared. I covered my hand with my mouth, refraining from a gasp.

Zion called a meeting with his army leaders, giving them orders to get all their warriors and everyone between the age of sixteen and seventy. Zion was truly a monster, he didn’t even care that he would be using innocent children to fight his war.

‘We need to regain our strength, we need to warn Wyatt of this attack,’ I told my wolf.

‘Yes but I’m too weak right now, maybe once the fever goes down I’ll be in good shape,’ she said. We needed time to gain back our strength.

Zion was about to leave the room when he looked at us with venom.

“Take them back to the room and make sure they don’t leave!” he ordered.

Two men escorted us back and I went to lay back on the bed, Rachel put a hand over my forehead.

“Your temperature is still high, you need a bath,” she looked exhausted and was about to stand up but I stopped her.

“I’ll take a shower and meditate, that might help get my strength back,” I told her, I learned that meditating helps me. She only nodded weakly and sat on the bed.

“You and the baby will be fine, I’ll get back my strength- – and get us out of here,” I said. She only gave me a small smile.

“I’ve been having contractions, I think the baby will be here soon and what happens, what if that psycho uncle of yours takes my child and kill me,” she was on the verge of crying.

“I won’t let that happen,” I assured her.

“Try to get some rest now, I’ll take a long shower,” She nodded and lay on the bed as I went into the shower.

I stayed in the bathroom for over two hours and by the time I left, I was feeling much better and Rachel was still sleeping. I carefully opened the door and saw two guards.

“I want some food for my friend,” they seemed surprised. They hesitated, not knowing what to do.

“Do I need to repeat myself?” I crossed my arms against my chest, showing them the disgusting mark on my neck.

“I’m Zion’s Luna now, do you want me to tell him that you’ve refused me?” My eyes glowed purple and they took a step back.

They bowed and I told them a long list of what we wanted to eat, I was hoping that I could find the maid and he can show me towards the dungeons, but that would be putting the poor girl in danger. She was submitted to Zion.

“And you,” I looked at the other man, his eyes bulged and bowed.

“Take me to the dungeons, I want to see what Corey did to upset my alpha,” I spat the words as though they burnt my tongue. The poor guy had no choice but to take me through the empty halls downstairs. Everyone was busy with Zion’s war to guard the inside of the house, and the few guards we saw didn’t even ask us questions.

We reached the dungeons in five minutes and I saw Corey laying on the bed, playing with a ball. He looked comfortable and his room was like a normal bedroom.

“Are these the dungeons?” I asked, getting his attention.

“You’re here!” he said as if he was expecting me. He looked at the guard.

“Thanks, Jang,” The man bowed and left us, I was puzzled.

“I’ll go and erase the security footage, sir,” the guard said and left us.

“He’s my guy, all of the men guarding you work for me,” he shrugged.

“So you could leave if you wanted?” I asked and he nodded.

“Yes, but I don’t want to because if I left now, Zion would retaliate, he has connections and he suspects I helped you escape last time,”

“I want to leave?” I said

“You’re still weak from the drugs they used on you, and I don’t think Rachel will get far without her pup popping out of her v****a,” he cringed, thinking about the process. It was cute.

“I can’t stay here. This mark is driving me crazy, I feel like my body will catch fire anytime,” the damn mark has been itching and burning.

“You’ll survive the mark, and besides, your mate is coming here,” he told me and a smile made its way to my lips.

“Wyatt? How?”

“I don’t know how but one of my spies in my city informed me but if you want to leave, you can. One of my men can help you out of the pack,”

I needed to leave this pack, Zion is unstable in the head so we were in constant danger, this was a time to leave.

“I want to leave soon,” I said. He nodded solemnly.

“Fine, I’ll ask Jang to arrange it, for now, just rest,” he said. I thanked him and tiptoed back to my room. Rachel was awake, she was sullen.

“We’ll leave soon, Corey has got men loyal to him here,” I told her and her eyes lit up. She hugged her pillow.

“I miss Chance,” she sighed, I held her hand and squeezed it, it felt like the right thing to do as I didn’t have any comforting words.

“I’ll tell him of my true feelings for him when I see him,” she decided.

“What took you so long?” I asked.

“I was scared of rejection but life is too short to live in fear,” she said and I nodded.

We waited for another thirty minutes before a knock sounded on the door, and Jang came in. Two girls entered after him.

“These girls will pose as you while you escape but we need to hurry, there will be a change of shift soon,” he said, the two women smiled and gave us new clothes to change into. Jang led us outside, It’s a good thing Corey was famous amongst the guards and once they heard we were his ladies that came for a good time, they let us through without a problem. We drove to the main gates and Jang got out.

“All you have to do is follow this compass and you’ll get to the main room, drive North and you’ll reach your pack, good luck,” He said and I ran to the driver’s seat,

“Thanks,” I waved and drove away from there as fast as I could, however, luck wasn’t on our side as a scream left Rachel’s lips.

“The baby is coming… Now,” she whispered, her eyes wide as saucers, and just then, her water broke. I stepped on the break so hard that it came to a harsh stop.

F**k.
