Chapter 16: The Alpha King’s Heart: His Rejected Mate: Chapter 16

We were both breathing so hard, the sexual tension in the room was so high. I tugged him into bed with me and he lay next to me, and soon, sleep enveloped us.

The next morning, I woke up to a huge erection poking me. Boys and morning. He was awake but didn’t open his eyes. I smiled and kissed his lips before my hands went down to touch his member. I caressed it with my fingers until it was hard, harder than before. I slowly reached under his boxers, which made his eyes shoot open.

‘What are you doing?’ he husked. I fucking loved his voice but there was something about his morning voice that made my pussy clench with desire.

‘Shut up,’ I said. His lips formed a straight line and he cocked an eyebrow at me but obliged. I removed the boxers and massaged his length, he was beginning to react.

‘Adi- Adira- you have to stop doing that,’ He stuttered and I giggled. I loved it. I started jerking him off slowly and his hip responded by grinding against my hand. As I continued, a wavered breath escaped his lips.

‘Adira, oh fuck… Ah, yes,’

I rubbed him faster and his breath was uneven, his mouth silently parted as soft sounds of pleasure left his delicious lips.

He bit my shoulder as his desire intensified. He was about to cum and I jerked harder. One. two and his seed, spilled all over my hand as he made a loud grunt.

‘Oh fuck,’ breathed heavily. I kissed his lips softly and he grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him, and tenderly kissed my forehead.

‘I can get used to these mornings,’

‘Good morning, sweetheart,’

‘Good morning to you,’

We stayed in bed for a while longer, cuddling. I felt content and my wolf was at peace with this mighty wolf king.

We later decided to get ready, and I quickly made breakfast for the boys. Luca was still scowling. He didn’t complain though, knowing it was the best we could do.

By noon, all our stuff was packed in the SUV, and Luca and I were looking at our little home, the house that brought us solace when we needed it most. I remembered coming here for the first time after I left the cells I was being held in after my parent’s death. There was nothing other than a bed and mattress. I didn’t wallow at the situation, I couldn’t break because I knew I needed to be strong for Lucas even though all I wanted to do was cry and break down. The poor boy was only eight and an orphan. I looked for work in town. I worked two jobs. I cleaned homes and worked as a barista. My life was slowly coming together. With the little money the pack released from my parents’ savings, I paid for my and Lucas’ tuition. I renovated the house until we turned it into what it was. I felt an arm around me and I smiled at Lucas, we had the same thoughts.

‘I’ll miss it,’ I mumbled.

‘I will too,’ He said and I kissed his hair. He smiled at me and tugged me toward the car. I grimaced when I saw Gamma Jett and he did the same, why didn’t he like me?

‘The king is at the airstrip already,’ He informed me. I nodded, Wyatt had business to take care of so we agreed to meet at the strip. He extended his hand to help me in the car when I caught the scent of someone; Grayson.

‘This fucker again,’ Jett growled, glaring at my ex as he approached boldly. Grayson didn’t look too well, he had a black eye and his hair was cluttered. His eyes were red and I saw dark circles under his eyes. Jett started to approach him, angry but I tapped his back.

‘He’s here for me,’

‘I know but you’re not allowed anywhere near him,’ He almost growled at me. His eyes were glowing.

‘Well, too bad,’ I shrugged and walked to him but he followed. I shot him a deadly glare and he stood, frowning for a bit.

‘I’ll speak to him or I’ll make your job difficult, trust me,’ I glowered, challenging him. The gamma groaned and waved at the men that were following us.

‘Make it quick, and don’t stand too close to him or Wyatt will kick my ass,’

‘I’d love to see that,’ I grumbled as I walked towards Grayson.

‘What happened to you?’ I sneered. Grayson sighed and ran a finger through his hair.

‘That dick king did this,’ He growled lowly, his eyes moving past my shoulder to Jett. I glanced back at the gamma who had a proud look on his face.

‘Why?’

‘I approached him about taking you away and he reacted,’ My lips parted slightly. What was he thinking to try to stop his king? Wyatt could end his life in seconds. Grayson may be a strong Alpha but he wasn’t the strongest for miles.

‘Whatever, I’m leaving now,’ I spat. The expression on his face left me confused, he has been avoiding me for years and now that I have found my mate that’s when he wants to come in and act like we’ve been close. Pathetic.

‘You look ridiculous, Grayson, coming here and making a scene with the king. How do you think your wife feels? You’re embarrassing her!’ I scolded harshly. He didn’t say a word. Only staring at me with a glint of pridefulness in his eyes.

‘I love you, and I will always. I apologize for everything that happened, Ady,’ He swallowed.

‘Whatever, I’m over it and you. Goodbye,’ I said and turned around to leave but he followed me. He went to Luca who only glared at him.

‘Hey, buddy,’

‘I’m not your buddy anymore,’ Luca said calmly. The two used to be close but it all changed after what happened and my brother loathed Grayson for not sticking by us.

‘Um, Luca, please take care of yourself and you can call me anytime,’

Lucas only rolled up his window and Grayson looked pained by this, his eyes glisten but he smiled. He raised his hand to caress my cheek but a warning growl erupted from Jett’s chest.

‘Let’s go now, Luna,’ he emphasized the word Luna, not taking his eyes off Grayson. I entered the car and Jett drove us. I held Lucas’ hand and I closed my eyes, letting go of all the bad memories. The betrayal, the hurt, the cell, and the misery. I was starting anew, I needed this for myself and Lucas
