Chapter 98: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 98

We got ready for the day and went down for breakfast, Mila joined us and was as pleasant as ever. I noticed how she paid extra attention to Azriel and engaged him in the conversations.

“So Adira when is your Luna ceremony?” Mila asked. Wyatt grabbed my hand and kissed it.

“We were thinking next month, we wanted to deal with the dark wolves first but they have been silent lately and none of our trackers are locating them,” I informed her. Zion has been too quiet and it’s keeping me anxious.

“Don’t you think the Luna ceremony is the perfect opportunity for them to strike, it is large and we’ll have different wolves of status come from different packs?” Azriel asked. All eyes turned to him but his gaze was on his brother.

“Security will be tight and the people are getting restless for a Luna,” Wyatt answered calmly.

“It’s dangerous, and it’s not like you’ll mark her with Rachel still parading around your mark,” he said coldly.

“I’ll mark Adira, we’ve given Rac- That woman’s wolf enough time to accept my rejection,” he said. I smiled at that, he knew how much I hated him speaking her name in my presence.

“What about the baby? Your child, Wyatt,”

“Are you trying to go for the best uncle of the year?” I spat, glaring at Azriel and he narrowed his gaze on me.

“I’m just saying-“

“Thank you for your concern but we’ll deal with Rachel as we see fit,” I interrupted him. I was so frustrated with this Rachel, we’ve given her enough time to accept the situation but all she does is use her pregnancy to throw herself at Wyatt.

We continued to eat and Mila did everything to ease the tension. Later, Wyatt and I were going to the palace when I brought up the paternity issue.

“Babe, have you tried getting a paternity test?”

He looked away from his phone to me.

“What?”

“A paternity test, I think we should do it to be sure that Rachel’s baby is yours,” I told him.

“I didn’t think about that,” he admitted. ” I’ll have Rachel do that,”

“I’ll go with her,” I smiled sweetly at him.

Reaching the palace I didn’t expect to find Richard waiting in front of my office.

“Richard,” I acknowledged and he smiled. He kissed my cheek gently and I invited him in.

“May I help you, alpha Richard?” I asked when I settled in my seat. Richard was looking at me intently.

“How are you?” he asked.

“Alpha Richard, is there a reason, you’re here?” I asked sternly.

“I have strong feelings for you and I’m here to ask you to marry me,” he said, I was calm.

“No,” I said.

“Why?”

“Because I love my mate and I refuse to marry you,”

“I don’t see a mark on you,” he retorted.

“Get out,”

“Well, at least I tried,” he said, his eyes raking my body. I sighed once the door closed and I sat back down. I continued my work until my secretary informed me that Rachel was in the palace now, I went out to meet her. She was chatting with some ladies in the wall way, and from where I was, I could see the baby bump in her tight dress. Her hands were on it the whole time.

I approached the ladies and once they noticed me, they bowed except Rachel.

“May I have a word with you?” I asked.

The three ladies shared a glance amongst each other and Rachel Tarion scowled, her arms folded against her chest.

“I’m busy,”

“Come with me, now,” I almost growled, releasing my aura. I walked away further into the corridors and Rachel approached me angrily.

“You don’t get to order me around,” She spat arrogantly.

“We are going to see a doctor,”

“Why?”

“To take a paternity test,”

Her face paled and didn’t say anything for a while.

“I refuse,” she shrugged.

“I was just informing you. Now, follow me,” I commanded, she tried to fight me but couldn’t. I was so much stronger than her.

We entered the car and drove to the hospital Mila told me but unfortunately, we couldn’t do the tests today so the doctor gave us another appointment.

“Does Wyatt know you’re doing this?” she asked,

“Yes,” I answered, looking into her eye.

“You’re so insecure,” she said.

“Okay,” I answered, I didn’t want to exchange words with this woman, she was unruly and careless with her tongue and I wasn’t in the mood. ” You’re just scared that it is my child that will be his heir and not yours,” she spoke.

“Shut up,” I whispered.

“You’ve been mated for months and what do you have to show for it? No baby, no mark. You have lost,” she said the last words slowly. Rachel was trying to aggravate me and I clenched my fist, trying to not punch her in the face.

“I didn’t lose anything because I wasn’t even fighting. Wyatt is mine by fate and law,” I said in a stable voice.

We arrived at the palace and were surprised to see Wyatt and Richard, glaring at each other as though they were about to fight.

“What is going on between those two?” Rachel murmured as we got out of the car. I went to stand close to my mate and he wrapped his hands around my waist while Rachel stood by her brother’s side.

“Is everything alright between you two?” I asked.

“Just f*****g great,” Wyatt gritted his teeth, and I narrowed my gaze on Richard, what did he do to anger him?

“Brother?” Rachel called.

“I’m just here to remind the king of the promise he made to our family, he can’t take another woman who isn’t you as his luna,” he said, flashing some documents in the air and my b***d ran cold.
