Page 19 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"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
CHAPTER 17 Palace
The car stopped and Jett opened the door on my side, he helped me down and I blinked my eyes to adjust to the surrounding.There was a huge plane a distance from us and I regretted wearing a flared dress as it was windy.
"Hello, there," I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and I was lifted in the air by Wyatt.My hands reached down to keep my dress down.He kissed me deeply and frowned when our lips detached.
"What took so long?"He wasn't asking me, his eyes were on his Gamma.
"That prick Alpha came to say his goodbye," Wyatt was tense, rigid.His anger rose and before he could lash out at anyone, I caressed his cheek softly.He looked at me.
"I wanted to say my goodbye to him," I said sheepishly.I didn't but he would lash out at his men for letting Grayson near me.Wyatt looked at me unamused and his brows furrowed, about to say something but decided against it.
"I'm sorry, but he was already there and we used to be close," I explained.
"Let's go away from here," He said, and glanced at Luca, giving him a tiny smile.
"Ready, Kiddo?"
Luca nodded with a stoic expression on his face.
We got into the plane, it was so massive with customized leather seats.I sat in front of Wyatt.Before taking off, a chef asked what we were taking but I shook my head, scared I might puke if I ate anything now.I sent a glance to Lucas, he was busy playing a game on his phone but he asked for snacks.
We landed two hours later and there were cars already waiting for us.I yawned, stretching my limbs and Wyatt abruptly carried me down the steps, taking me by surprise.
"I can walk!"I yelped, embarrassed.Everyone was watching.Reaching down, he pulled me into a tight embrace and whispered " Welcome home, my baby,"
