Chapter 35: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 35

He sighed and lay on the large sofa, closing his eyes.

I ignored him, remembering what Wyatt said last night. My eyes go to the man lying on the sofa, his hand covering his face.

” You’re staring,” he whispered.

” Oh so, you’re talking to me now,”

” Excuse me?”

” Forget it,” I closed the laptop and sighed, leaning back in my seat.

” You’re still staring.”

” Do you want to use me for revenge?” I go straight to the point. He doesn’t seem surprised. His eyes shot open and he gazed at me.

” He told you,”

” You forgot to mention that part when you told me about your mate,” I retorted. I observed him, waiting for his answer.

” I wasn’t obligated to, and why should I tell you that, you’re no one to me,” he said. I knit my eyebrow and smiled sarcastically at him

” Well, you didn’t think that when you told me how you watched as your father annihilated her,” I barked, and he growled at me menacingly, his eyes flashing.

” Watch your f*****g mouth,”

” Watch yours too,” I growled.

We stared at each other, his eyes glowing and exuding his alpha aura but I didn’t submit to him, he’s not my alpha. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration.

” We were juvenile and ignorant, we did everything to hurt one another because we have always been put against each other,”

” Are you using me to get retribution on my mate for sleeping with yours?” I asked again.

” No, we are not that close and you are definitely not my type,”

I only huffed, trying not to let his words affect me,

” If I were using you, don’t you think I’d be pursuing you? I’m not because I want nothing to do with you,”

Azriel was upset and he was shaking.

” Why are you so resentful?”

” I’m f*****g not!” he yelled.

” You’re red, and shaking because you’re angry!” I yelled back.

” You’re no one to me, Adira, I want nothing to do with you,” Azriel was glaring at me, his chest rising and falling.

” Well, I don’t want to be anything to you!”

” Is that so?” he stood up, coming to my side.

” Then why are you always watching me, following me around, why does your heart pound whenever you see me and why were you jealous when I touched Faye? I’m quite vigilant,” he purred, his face close to me ” Do you like me, Adira Wade?”

I chuckled and stared deep into those hazel eyes of his, ” You wish. I have no attraction for you whatsoever, and will never. You’re not my type, I like my men in the highest position of power,” I smirked. It was true, I didn’t have any attraction for him but it was a lie when I said I like men with power, I was just saying it to hurt him and it worked if looks could kill I’d be dead.

” Yeah, I can tell … Given how quick you were to get on your knees and suck Wyatt’s c**k when he threw a little jealous fit yesterday. How …

Wretched,” he said and I slapped him across the face. I was angry at him for saying that to me.

” You were watching?” I whispered, he didn’t deny just pressed his lips together and stared at me with his angry gaze,

” You pervert, stay away from me,” I pushed past him and left the office. I was so mad at him, it was a good thing that classes were still ongoing because the students would think me crazy if they saw how I was pacing the halls like a mad woman. I went to the common lounge, and I sat there, still angry until the bell went off. I didn’t even want to go back to that office to get my bag. I didn’t want to bump into Azriel.

I waited at the gate of the school, waiting for Lucas to come out, and soon, he did. I watched him say goodbye to a boy and a girl before coming to me

” You’re flushed, what happened,”

” I’m just mad,” I said, taking his backpack.

” Who got you angry?” he asked. I only sighed, not wanting to talk about it. I frowned when I noticed a Cadillac Escalade car not far from us. I remember telling him that we will walk back home.

We approach the driver, and he smiled, holding the door open for us.

” I told you we’ll walk,” I said to the driver who held the door open for us.

” I know but the king sent me to get you,” he said.

” Is everything alright?” I asked, worried.

” Yes, Ma’am,”

We didn’t go home, instead, the driver took us to a luxury yacht dock.

I got out of the car and a smile spread on my lips when his arms wrapped around me.

” Missed me today, huh,” Wyatt asked and I nodded. He kissed my lips and looked at me.

” I want us to go out on holiday, I took days off,” he informed and I smiled, kissing him again. I needed this, I needed him.

” But clothes and-“

” Don’t worry about it, I had someone buy you clothes,” he said and his gaze went to Lucas.

” Wanna check it out?”

” Hell, yeah!” he beamed, running inside the huge yacht.

My mate grabbed my hand and we went in too. The boat was luxurious indeed. ” Kayd, Emma!” I heard Luca call, and I glanced his way; his friends from school were there. I approached them.

” Hi, guys!” I waved. Emma smiled at me

” Hello, Miss Wade,” she was a polite and very smart girl, while Kayd was clueless half of the time. They were the perfect Trio.

Kayd eyed me up in down in admiration. I g*****d and rolled my eyes.

” Hello, Miss Wade,” he waved, still smiling.

” C’mon dude, that’s my sister, this needs to stop already!” Kayd had a crush on me.

” I’m glad you are here,”

” I was excited and surprised when King Wyatt invited us but now I know he wanted friends for the third wheel while you did mate stuff,” he winked and Emma elbowed him in the sides.

” Let’s check out the rooms!” Emma tugged on her friends.

I was staring at the blue sea of water, my heart in turmoil yet I didn’t know what the problem was. I felt his arms surround me and all the earlier emotions I felt vanished in his warm and safe embrace,

” I love you,” he suddenly said. I twisted my neck to look him in the eyes,

” I love you,”

We stayed silent for a while enjoying the time we had together.

” Are you excited about the blue moon,”

” Yes, I want my wolf to finally acknowledge you as my mate, maybe I can even shift,” I beamed, just thinking about it. ” And I want to meet your pack or some of it because I know they are so many,”

” I’ve been wanting to tell you something,” I sensed hesitation in his tone.

” What?”

” It’s um, the parliament-” he started but stopped

” You can tell me, is everything alright?”

” We are on holiday, let’s not talk about work,”
