The Alpha King’s Heart: His Rejected Mate: Chapter 51



His presence was authoritative and domineering too. A woman announced his arrival and everyone in the room bowed respectfully to him and his two me; Aspen and Jett. He noticed me immediately. In a room full of people, he smiled at me and it melted my heart, however, his mood darkened as soon as he saw the man who was standing close to me. I subtly moved away from Richard, and his hand gripped me, he looked to be in shock but as Wyatt advanced towards us, he slowly moved away from me. He extended his hand to me and I reached for him. he pulled me closer to him and kissed my cheek.

‘Hey, beautiful,’ he caressed me kindly.

‘Hey, handsome,’ I whispered, I was feeling shy now because so many people were watching us so I kept my eyes on him.

‘What happened to the party?’ Aspen said, the music started and people glanced away from us to their partners and slowly chatter built up.

‘If I knew this was the party you were attending, I’d be keen to come sooner,’ he said.

‘I didn’t know I’d come here, oh, this is my friend and date, Monique,’ I said. Monique was still in shock, gaping at the Alpha king. I nudged her and she bowed twice, totally ungracefully so. I’ve never seen her this awkward and embarrassed at the same time. I will tease her about it later.

‘Your Highness, It’s an honor, a true honor to even stand next to you, should I move back?’

Wyatt extended his hand to her and she peered up at him before taking it quickly.

‘Hello, Monique,’

‘He said my name,’ she whispered to me but everyone heard. Wyatt’s gaze turned to Richard who looked ashen now, looking between us.

‘oh Wyatt, this is Richard and Gilbert, they were keeping us company,’

‘I know them,’ he said without any emotion, glaring slightly at the two men. I sensed another aura amongst one, it was angry, dark, and everything bad but it soon disappeared.

‘King Wyatt, I was looking for you,’

We turned to the sultry voice that spoke. A slender woman with wavy brown hair and hazel eyes approached us, she looked so fine and graceful. Her eyes were fixed on my mate. Wyatt frowned at her while she smiled. She wrapped her arms around my mate and I furrowed an eyebrow. Wyatt pulled back from her but she put her hand on his chest, cleaning invisible dust on his tux and my skin crawled at her actions. Don’t fucking touch him like that, I wanted to scream but refrained.

‘Dr. Garner wants to speak to us about something important,’ She said. I looked at my mate for some sort of an introduction but he wasn’t looking at me, his intense glare fixed on the woman.

‘Rachel, let’s go,’ Richard said cautiously, grabbing the woman’s hand. They knew each other.

‘Stop it,’ she hissed at him, ‘ Who knows, you might hurt your future king in my belly,’ she said and my blood ran cold. I stared at her in shock. This Rachel woman was smiling, looking at Wyatt who had gone pale now. Did she just say baby? I felt a stab in my heart and tears welled in my eyes.

‘Hello, Ladies, I’m Rachel, the king’s Queen, and Luna… And now, mother of his child… Possibly, we hope,’ She said proudly, tilting her neck slightly to show us her king’s mark. My eyes found Dalla, Eve, and Faye, they faced the floor in shame. I backed away and I felt an intense pain in my stomach.

‘What the fuck Rachel,’ growled Wyatt, he was angry but I didn’t care about it right now as the pain in my body grew. What the fuck? My head was spinning.

‘We are shifting,’ I heard my wolf’s distant voice.

‘Whatever do you mean, my king,’

‘You know what I fucking mean,’ Wyatt grabbed Rachel by her arm and started dragging her to the exit, they attracted a crowd as both Richard and Gilbert followed in a hurry.

‘Outside now!’ Growled Kira just as my pain intensified.

‘I’m shifting,’ I said to Monique in pain. She looked like she was about to cry. She held my trembling hands as she looked for another exit. We didn’t reach out when we heard a clash and people screamed in horror. There was a ruckus.

‘Let’s hurry before they seal the exits, there are some dark wolves amongst us!’ she said in panic.

I heard loud growls and fights, people were screaming and guards were fighting the dark wolves. A wolf jumped at us, making me fly against the closest wall and I hit my head. I groaned in pain. I felt strong arms lift me, and I didn’t even look up to see who was as I was whimpering in pain.

‘I’ll take care of her, go home and be safe. You, escort her!’ That was Azriel’s voice.

‘No, I want to stay, please,’ Monique cried but the Alpha growled. He was running, and soon, I felt the cool air hit my skin and fresh grass enveloped my senses. He put me on the soft grass and I finally opened my eyes, he smiled ever kindly at me and stroked my hair.

‘Do you know what to do?’

I was just crying both in pain and for my mate. I felt another pain in my joint and I fell on my knees. I dug my fingers in the dirt when I felt the breaking of bones. The first shift was as painful as they said it was but I always thought Wyatt will be here, guiding me through it but he wasn’t, he was somewhere with his- his Queen/baby mama. Azriel crouched down and stroked my hair,

‘Breathe, love, breathe,’ Azriel cooed.

‘It hurts,’ I cried.

‘I know, but you’ll get through it,’

My bones were cracking most sickeningly. I grabbed Azriel’s hand.

‘Stop it,’ I croaked, ‘ Please,’

My claws extended and pierced his skin to the point of drawing blood. He didn’t hiss or move away as anyone would, he just gripped my wrist, and slowly, fur appeared on my arms. I was in pain, the process was slow and all I wanted now was for Kira to come out. I didn’t know how long It took but I was fully shifted into my wolf form. I looked at my fur in awe; black wolf. How could this be? Maybe I wasn’t fully black. Only Alphas have this color.

‘Kira, how?’ I asked but she was silent. I couldn’t be and besides, there were no female Alphas.
