Chapter 41: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 41

The next morning, I got ready for work, wearing a nude dress with one sleeve and carrying my leather handbag. The assistant chef immediately handed me my favorite lemongrass tea as soon as I entered the kitchen.

” Thank you,” I said, drinking it. I looked up the floor and turned to the door when a familiar scent hits me.

” Morning,” Azriel greeted, they gave him dark coffee and he sat in front of me.

” You have bags under your eyes,” he commented,

” Didn’t have a good sleep?”

” No, mostly because I spent my evening being chased in the woods, what was that?” Now that I’m thinking about it, something was chasing me.

” I asked Wolf to scare you,” he shrugged. I gaped at him and set my mug down on the table. His eyes were fixed on me.

” You were screaming and running,” he said, smirking at me. Yep, that was a little embarrassing.

” I think you’re hiding something and I’ll find out,” I declared. He leaned over the table and look me in my eyes

” Good luck with that,”

” Jerico, is Lucas ready?”

” Yes, my lady,”

” Tell him to meet me outside in two minutes,” I said, leaving the kitchen. Azriel came too, frowning.

” Are we walking?” he asked.

” We?”

” Yes,”

I scoffed, ” I’m not walking with you again, I don’t want to get accused again, and besides, I annoy you, remember,” I reminded him.

” C’mon, I didn’t know you were the kind to take little clashes to heart,” he said.

” Little disagreement? You treated me in the worst way possible after making me think we could be…” I trailed on my words, not sure.

” What?”

” Friends,” I sighed. I turned to walk away from him but he gripped my wrist. I shook him off me and flapped my hair in his face.

” So, I hurt your feelings?” he said amused, I didn’t answer, just staring at my new Rolex watch hastily. What is taking Lucas so long?

” But I apologized already,”

” Did I say I forgave you?” I retorted.

” You’re going to make it hard for me,” he murmured.

” I would if I gave a damn about you but I don’t so… Nah,”

Lucas stepped out of the house, eating a bagel. I extended my hand to carry his bag for him as always but Azriel swatted my hand away.

” Don’t you know how to be a gentleman? You want your sister to carry your bag?” he said.

Lucas only emanated arrogance and sneered at him.

” Well, you carry it then,”

Azriel was baffled by him but carried the bag, we walked to school. I watched him coldly while his face was calm.

I was feeling unwell as I got to school, and it felt like I was coming down with the flu. I was in the class, checking the essays I assigned the kids when someone knocked on the door. I opened the door and a courier was standing there with a bouquet of daisies in her hands, they were so pretty.

” Are you Miss Adira Wade?” she asked

” Yes,”

” Flowers for you, please sign here,”

” Who sent them?” I asked as I signed. I noticed it didn’t come with a note.

” Annoymus, maybe a secret admirer,” the young lady smiled and walked away.

“Kids, Copy from book 4, and Matt, you’re in charge,” I hollered to my students. I took the flowers to my office, admiring them. Azriel entered, he was from the gym.

” Are those mine?” he asked.

” No, they are mine,” I smiled gently, he walked over and glanced at them. ” I think Wyatt sent them,” I said.

” Hmm,”

” He’s so good to me and thoughtful too,” I said.

” Lucky,” he said in a mocking tone and I narrowed my gaze on him,

“what’s with you.”

” He got one flower from the bunch and plug out the petals,”

” Don’t do that!” I hissed, snatching it from him.

” Daisies- represent you,”

” What do you mean?” I asked curiously.

” Two flowers in one,” he began with a faraway look. ” They embody purity, innocence, cheerfulness, and new beginnings,” he said looking into my eyes. ” Just like you,” A small rare smile graced his lips.

” I’m like daisies?”

” In this family, yes,” My gaze dropped to the flowers.

” I should thank Wyatt, where is my phone,” I murmured, looking around but couldn’t find it, I must have left it in class.

” Adira… there is an art exhibition in town tonight, you can come with me if you want,” he said.

” What kind of invitation is that?”

” Do you want to go with me to an exhibition?” he asked.

” I don’t think Wyatt will like it too much,”

” You can come with Luca or anyone… Don’t think much into it,”

I hesitated still, and he said; ” I don’t like you, but It would be nice to have you there,” his voice was barely above a whisper and I gape

” Is that praise from you?”

” Take it as you like… I’ll send you the details,” he exited the room, leaving me alone.

Going back to class, I conclude everything and meet Monique in the staff room, she smiled and came to me.

” Have you eaten?” she asked, munching on her salad.

” Are you still on that insane diet?” I chuckled.

” Yes, I need to watch my figure, I easily get fat, and you make me look like a cow next to you,” she frowned.

” You’re perfect,” I told her. It was true, she was a really attractive woman. Hourglass shape and a pretty face and curl thick hair that suited her stunning face.

” I know, I want to be more than perfect,”

” Alright,” Arguing with her is a waste of time.

” Do you want to go somewhere in the evening?” I asked her and she stopped eating.

” Where?”

” At an art gallery, someone invited me,” I said.

” On a date?” she furrowed her eyebrows.

” No,”

” I’m not third wheeling?”

” Not at all, I already have a boyfriend, remember?” I said.

” Okay, it will be fun, I guess, “
