Chapter 57: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 57

” I just need some time away from you, and everything that comes with you. I think Lucas and I will find a place near the school so that- “

” No!” he interrupted me. ” No, don’t leave me, Adira,” he begged. He cupped my face, shaking his head. ” I love you so much, I wouldn’t survive without you, please. You’re everything to me,” he was distraught now, saying words of promises.

” I’ll do anything you want of me except that. If I let go, you won’t come back, I just know it,” he cried, ” Adira, understand that you own me,” he pulled me in a long tight embrace and I allowed myself two seconds of pleasure. My wolf was excited that she was close to her mate.

” I just need some time to think and regain my trust in you because I don’t know how to be with you right now,”

” Don’t leave the estate, please, I- I’ll stay away,” he decided. I breathed through my mouth and went over to the counter, making some chicken noodles for Azriel. I could feel Wyatt’s intense gaze on me but I didn’t look back at him, not even when the others entered the kitchen in hopes to find some food to eat.

” We are sorry,” Eva was the first one to say.

” It’s alright. You owe me nothing, Wyatt is your friend, not me,” I said, moving past her and going upstairs with the tray of food. I entered Azriel’s room and found him snoring softly. I sighed and put the food on the bedside table. I heard voices from the kitchen, and frowned, knowing that they will stay here tonight. I didn’t want to talk or see any of them right now. I carefully went to the living area and dialed Ambrose’s number. I needed a breather from here.

” Hello,” he said.

” Hi, Ambrose. It’s Adira,”

” We know, only you have that weird number!” I heard screaming from the girls. I chuckled.

” What’s up?”

” Are you not going to party today?” I asked.

” LET’S F*****G GO!” Dwight cheered.

” Cool,”

” We’ll be there in an hour or so,” Ambrose said and I nodded. I put down the phone and turned to leave but almost shrieked when I saw Jett, his gaze on me was intense. I only glared at him.

” May I help you?”

” Who’s Ambrose?” he asked softly.

” None of your business, Gamma,” I said coldly and emotionless. he exhaled

” I don’t hate you, Luna Adira,” he said.

” I’m not your Luna and I don’t care if you do or not,” I dismissed him. He wanted Rachel for Wyatt, not me. No wonder why he was always indifferent to me but now I know. As I walked away, I felt a whiff of Waytt’s intoxicating scent, he was watching me from a distance. I glanced at him and our eyes lock but I only continued going upstairs. I changed into a shirt and jeans.

I soon heard the sound of a truck outside and I descended the stairs, my nerves were killing me but I had to. I needed to leave this house for a while. I was happy when I didn’t find anyone in the living area, I ran down the porch stairs and went to the back of the house to wait for the car. My hearing was so good, I must have heard the sound miles from here.

The truck stopped in front of me.

” Hello!” Nova waved, she was sitting in the back. I smiled at her and jumped in,

” Ready to have fun?” Dwight asked from the front passenger seat. I nodded and put on my seatbelt.

” Mr Mint has an open bar for an hour so we get all the drinks at a 50% discount,” Ambrose announced and everyone cheered. I enjoyed spending time with them because it was an escape from reality, they lived in a fun, carefree life that I never had growing up. This was new to me.

‘ Mate, he’s watching us,’ Kira informed me and I swallowed. I didn’t want to look back at him. The guys blasted the car’s speaker as we sped off.

Wyatt.

” She hates me,” I said, gulping my whiskey.

” No, she’s just hurting but will come around,” Dalla assured me. I felt so distant from Adira even though we were close.

‘ She’s scared that you’ll eventually choose them over her,’ Rolf said in my head. I closed my eyes and touched my pounding head.

‘ I wouldn’t choose anyone over anyone,’

‘ hmm,’

” She shifted, she shifted and I wasn’t there,” I said. Just thinking about that makes me hate myself. I wondered what her wolf was like, did it hurt? I abruptly stood up to approach Azriel.

” Wyatt, he’s still healing,” Aspen warned and I rolled my eyes, I wasn’t going to attack the moron again. I pushed the door open and he opened his eyes, sighing in exhaustion.

” Are you here to attack me again?” he asked, bored.

” You f*****g lied to me,”

” She didn’t want to speak or see you and I promised her to keep you away from you,” he smiled arrogantly. I rubbed my head. Azriel exhausted me.

” You were there when she shifted,” I said.

” She did pretty well,” he answered the question I wanted to ask. I was glad that she wasn’t alone when she shifted. I was about to ask what color she was when we heard the sound of the truck outside.

” Who is it?” I asked, going to the window.

” That’s just Ambrose’s truck I think, he and Adira are becoming friends,” he said and I growled.

” You allowed another man near my mate,”

” Mate? I’m sure she’s reconsidering that,” he chuckled, Azriel was enjoying my f*****g misfortune too much. I glared at him and stomped out of the room.

Adira had just entered the truck, and sitting next to two other girls. She didn’t spare me a glance and my heart hurt.
