Chapter 13: The Alpha King’s Heart: His Rejected Mate: Chapter 13

We went upstairs and I smiled as the cool air hit me. I loved this view. I missed it. He pulled out a chair for me and kissed my shoulder and sat. The menu soon came and we ordered what we wanted. He grabbed my hand suddenly and my heart quickened.

‘Adira, we have to leave soon,’ He said. I knew this was coming sooner or later, he couldn’t stay here forever. I didn’t answer, I didn’t know what to say so, he continued,

‘You and your brother are coming with me to my pack,’

‘As your Luna?’ I asked. He looked at me dubiously and I arched my eyebrows at that. He was in turmoil. Was he not telling me something? I wanted to ask if he was hiding something when he spoke,

‘Of course, but for now, you’ll just be my mate,’ I squinted my eyes.

‘Only because we need to take care of some formalities and after they are sorted out, you’ll be my Queen, officially,’ He said. Oh yes, he had to inform the parliament about finding his mate. I also forgot that I have to wait for my first shift.

We soon finished eating and the waitress brought us dessert. Wyatt only had one or two spoons of it and I ate the rest. I loved dessert. After the food, we took a stroll through the pack before he took me back home.

‘Wanna come in,’ I asked. He sighed and pulled me closer to him, I almost slammed into his hand chest but he gently put a hand on mine. He cupped my face before bending down to kiss me.

‘I would love to but I’m not Lucas’ favorite wolf right now, so, I’ll head back and see you tomorrow,’ He said.

‘He will warm up to you soon,’

‘I’m sure of that after all, we support the same clubs and like the same football players,’ He grinned before sucking in a deep breath and hugging me. His arms brought warmth to my body and I wanted to stay like that for a long time.

The next two days I was packing my clothes and stuff I needed to take to the Black Diamond Pack. I went to the school I worked as a teacher’s assistant. I needed to say goodbye to the students and also, get Lucas’ transcript. I spent the whole day there, the kids were sad that I was leaving.

‘I’ll miss you, Miss Wade,’ The little girl in my class waved as she got on the bus. I sighed and turned back to the head teacher.

‘That’s the last one,’ I sighed. She approached me and smiled.

‘We shall miss you around here, Adira, do take care of yourself,’ She said. I watched as she went to the parking lot. I went back into the school building to get my purse and files. I froze when I saw him, standing in the hallway.

I didn’t want to be anywhere alone with this man.

‘Ady,’ He waved, pushing himself off the wall.

‘Grayson, what are you doing here,’ I spat. He frowned at me and took large steps towards me.

‘I heard you were leaving,’ He said.

‘So?’

‘Is that all you have to say? We dated for years!’

‘I didn’t know I needed your permission to leave the pack with my mate,’

He looked offended after my words and he clenched his hands. I tried to move past him but he grabbed my waist and spun me around to him. His lips crashed on mine before I could even think to push him away. I did finally and slapped him across his face. He wasn’t stunned instead, he inhaled my scent and held me in an embrace.

‘Don’t leave me, don’t go with that jerk,’ He begged.
