The Alpha King’s Heart: His Rejected Mate (The Alpha King Series Book 1)

I woke up early in the morning and was energized today, my wolf was excited, it was the day she will come out, and this she was sure of.

Coming out of the bathroom with only my mate’s white polo shirt. I called out his name

‘Wyatt!’ I screamed, he groaned and his eyes slowly fluttered open. He smiled and buried his head between the pillows. He had so many drinks last night and was now suffering from a hangover.

‘Wyatt!’ I just wanted to annoy him.

‘You’re hyper today. I have a headache,’ he groaned. ‘ Go wake Lucas up or something,’ I smiled and sat at the edge of the bed, giving him plenty of kisses, that he loved.

‘The sky and weather are lovely today. Let’s go outside for a walk,’ I said.

‘No, did you hear what I said about my head?’

I stomped my feet like a child, protesting.

‘Okay, then let’s go have breakfast, I’m hungry,’ I whined and he opened one of his eyes. He didn’t look pleased at all but I enjoyed bugging him. It’s his fault for drinking too much.

‘Go without me,’

‘ NO,’ I declared. I sat on his stomach and started tickling him. Wyatt was ticklish so I continue until he sat up with me straddling him. He looked at me with those mesmerizing eyes of his and my heart raced in my chest. He was too wonderful and too handsome.

‘I love waking up like this,’

‘Hmm?’

‘You, in my bed, wearing my shirt,’ he said, kissing my collarbone softly. I jerked when he bit me there softly.

‘I like it too,’ I said breathlessly as his kisses were getting quite intense now. My hands touched the back of his neck. His kisses were burning me softly.

‘I love you,’ he said. My heart skipped at those three words he said to me and I pulled away from him. Caressing his growing stubble beard and kissing his soft lips.

‘And I love you,’

We shared a deep kiss and I did not want to part with him. I wanted us to be like this forever. He made me so happy and I almost forgot this feeling. Just a few months ago, I was depressed and sad- for a long time, and now, all that is in the past.

When Wyatt touches me, kisses me, or makes love to me like only he can, the whole world fades away and I just want to be stuck in that space with him. My stomach ungracefully growled, pulling us out of our abyss of passion.

‘Oh, you are really hungry,’

I nodded, and he inhaled my scent one last time. He gripped my waist and put me down before he stood up himself. He went to the bathroom and was back minutes later, looking as fresh as a hot snack.

‘I always get jealous when you leave home,’ I confessed. he looked up at me with a concerned look.

‘Why?’

‘Because all the girls will be looking at you,’ I frowned and he looked relieved. He wore a cocky expression on his face and I rolled my eyes. He cupped my face and said,

‘You should know that I only have eyes for you because of all variations of beauty there are in this life, yours I find more attractive, and beautiful inside and out,’ My heart warmed at his words. He continued, ‘There is nothing I won’t do for you, Adira,’

‘That’s good because I love and I want to wear your mark so badly, Wyatt,’

‘I can’t wait,’ he smiled.

We went downstairs together. Lucas was there, eating and ignoring us mostly. I was sitting on Wyatt’s lap and whenever he kissed me, Lucas made a barfing sound.

‘How’s school going?’ Wyatt asked him.

‘It’s school, same exhausting things,’ he answered.

‘And football, I heard you’re doing well,’

‘Yes, the competition here is tougher than my old school, hence, I practice more,’ Lucas said.

‘Oh, by the way, we are closing schools for a month and will be going to football camps next week,’

‘Do you want to go?’ Wyatt asked. Lucas nodded.

‘There’ll be a lot of activities too. It will be fun,’

We soon finished eating breakfast and went out in the garden, it was serene. Lucas was playing football with one of the guards while Wyatt and I watched them. I snuggled against him and he held me tenderly.

I was excited to go shopping with Monique for our evening gowns for the party she was invited to.

‘So, who invited you to this party?’ I asked her.

‘This guy I’ve been seeing for a while, he’s a high-ranking general in the army. Young, just putting it out there,’ She was blushing a little, did Monique like this man?

‘Then why are you not going with him?’

‘He can’t join me because of an important matter at work but he gave me his invitation… I was his plus one,’

‘So now I’m your plus one,’ I laughed.

‘Yes, I would never be invited to such a high event like the blue moon ball,’ she said.

‘Okay,’

‘Did you have any plans?’

‘I thought I’d spend the day with my mate but something came up and he left in a hurry,’ I informed her and she gasped, grabbing my hand and making me sit on a couch.

‘Ladies, can you bring us some champagne, please?’ she seemed eager to know about my mate.

‘ Adira, you didn’t tell me you had a mate, who is he?’ she asked. I hesitated to answer.

‘I think we should set up a double date and you’ll see him yourself,’ I said and she squealed, hugging me.

The shopping assistants were back and we wore every gown there was. I felt pretty in each but we still had to find the one that will make me more gorgeous. It’s a girls’ date after all and we want to impress.

I grabbed my phone to text Wyatt where I was and told him I’ll go out tonight with Monique. He wasn’t too pleased to hear that but he agreed not to make a fuss on the condition that I don’t dance with any guy. He was so jealous.

I got the last dress on the rank and went to the changing room. It was a beautiful floor-length gown, that left my back bare and had a plunging neckline. I walked out of the room and Monique and the two ladies gasped.

‘Wow!’ That was all they said. Still staring at me in awe.

‘Too much? It is too much, I knew it,’ I said turning around to grab something else.

‘No, look amazing, wear that,’ Monique squealed.

‘I think it’s a little much,’

‘I can’t imagine anyone in that dress other than you, Miss, you are perfect,’ One of the assistants said.

‘Just like a daring, sexy Queen,’ she said and my heart fluttered at their compliments. I inhaled and looked in the mirror, twirling. Wyatt would not approve of people seeing me in this. I smirked.

Monique brought out a rare type of high heels and put them on my feet. She stood behind me, lovingly touching my shoulders and smiling at me as we stood behind the mirror.

‘Look at you, all eyes will be on you,’ she purred, smacking my ass and I gape at her. We both burst into fits of laughter.

Monique picked a lovely sequin dress that held unto her body like a glove, it showed off her exquisite bodyline and cleavage.

‘Let’s go get our hair done, and nails done,’ she said, linking her arm with mine. We thanked the two girls and went to the salon. The salon used all sorts of products in my hair. it was luscious and so soft. I didn’t want full-face makeup so they just did a subtle kind that suited me well. I was excited to attend this party.
