Chapter 99: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 99

Rachel smiled like a feline cat. The Tarion had forgotten all the agreements they had with Wyatt but now, they want them fulfilled all of a sudden, did it have to do with Richard’s said love for me?

“You’ll support me?” Rachel asked, still in a daze. Richard smiled at her fondly before he looked at me; I only glared at him.

“Of course, the king gave his word to marry you and can’t back out. What’s a king without his word, just a mere man,” he said. Richard bowed politely and grabbed Rachel’s hand before leaving.

“Let’s go inside,” I said. We walked to my mate’s office and he sat on the sofa, I dropped my weight on his body and he embraced me.

“What are we going to do about the Tarion?” I asked. He kissed my shoulder gently.

“Don’t worry, he may be alpha but his father calls all the shots. Also, if they refuse to dissolve the arrangement, I’ll do it forcibly,” he said, determined.

“You can’t do that Wyatt, you are not that kind of leader. We must do it the right way… The democratic way,” I advised, even though Wyatt had the power to do anything, he just can’t go around breaking oaths. People will think of him as a bad king, his father’s son who just takes what he wants without care of the law, like the dark king.

” Fine. I’ll have to call a meeting with the senates and I’ll bring it up. The Tarions are just acting up,” he said and I nodded.

For the next couple of days, we spent them convincing the senates to sign the legal papers to dissolve the oath, however, Richard wasn’t going to let it go so easily.

We had a strong case, because we had the bond on our side, and former alpha Tarion wasn’t in support of his children.

…

I was sitting in the restaurant with Richard. The man was looking at me with admiration on his face.

“Why are you doing this?” I asked.

“I want you and I’ll do anything in my power to get you,”

“You can’t have me,” I gritted my teeth, hitting the table. Some people turned their gazes to me.

“I told you, I want you and will do everything in my power to have you. Even though you will never love me,”

“We don’t even know each other well!” I was bewildered by his sudden affection toward me. Richard Tarion and I have talked a few times, but it was nothing serious. We were friendly and polite.

“Well, I fell in love with you and I think about you every time, I even canceled my engagement for you, Adira,”

I closed my eyes momentarily. I grabbed his hand and said in a gentle tone.

“I will never be yours, ever, so stop this nonsense,”

His expression darkened before he pulled me for a k**s. I pulled away from him and slapped him across the face.

I grabbed my bag and left in a hurry.

I was mentally exhausted after what had been happening these past few days. I was sitting in the entertainment room when my little brother and his friends entered, I looked up to them,

“Hi, guys,” I waved, smiling at them.

“Hi, Luna,” Emma waved with a smile, and Kayd too. We exchanged pleasantries with them before they went upstairs back Lucas stayed.

“Hey, are you alright?” he asked, concern registering on his face. I got to my feet and opened my arms to him, he scowled but hugged me.

“Yeah, I’m good. Just tired at work,” I sighed.

“Sorry. I think we should do something together, soon. Away from your work at the palace,”

“I’d love that,”

“So,” I drawled… He rolled his eyes, knowing what was coming already.

“Don’t, don’t. I already got THE TALK from Wyatt and Azriel, those two are direct and they even gave me condoms,” he said and I gaped, those men are so shameless to give thirteen-year-old condoms!

“That’s good, don’t forget, you can come to me whenever and I’ll be there to answer all the questions,” I said and he grimaced.

“I think I’m good. Azriel and Wyatt pretty much-covered everything,”

“OK,”

I was still smiling at my brother when Azriel entered the room, I turned around to see but I felt him.

“Hey,” his mood is better. After what happened last we spoke, I expected him to not want to talk to me.

“Hi,”

“Why are you here, this time,” he asked, going to the bar to get whiskey.

“I just missed the estate, the palace can be exhausting. What’s up with you? Any news?” I asked.

“I’m sapped at the palace too, and I’ve been going in every location I found in search of the dark wolves,”

“You won’t find them, they want to attack us when they have enough men,” I said.

“And we can’t let them do that. We’ll have many casualties,”

“Have you spoken to Jett?” I asked. I was thinking Jett would trick Corey to reveal the whereabouts of Zion’s location.

“Corey is no fool, he’ll know immediately, and besides, they don’t talk,” he said.

“So you asked?”

“Yes,”

We stayed there, chatting and drinking. I hated drinking but in times like this, I did. Aspen was the first one to enter the room and Wyatt, my mate smiled and pecked my lips.

“I didn’t know you were here already,” he muttered, glancing at his brother. He wasn’t angry though.

“I just thought I could leave early today,” I said. He nodded and sat next to me, pulling me closer to him.

“Alpha Aleric Lafayette sent an email to my office,” he said and my breath got caught in my chest. ” He requested a meeting with you and Lucas,”

My grandfather wanted to see me. Could it be that Corey told them about me, I swallowed.

“What did you tell him?”

“I didn’t respond, I wanted to talk to you about it first,”

“I’d like to meet him,” I said with a small smile on my lips. He kissed me, Wyatt loved seeing me smile and he did everything in his power to ensure I smiled more.

The rest of the day we sat there, just drinking. There were no fights or arguments. It even became a bigger party when the girls and Jett came. Azriel glanced at me a few times and his emotions were indescribable.

‘He wants us,’

Oh gods, this wouldn’t end well.
