Page 39 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"You look just your mom, so beautiful," she said and I flushed, remembering my mom.She was the most beautiful woman in any room she stood in but was humble and kind.
"let's go eat," Wyatt said, circling his arms around my waist.I caught a glimpse of Azriel, he was watching me.
We sat at the table and started to eat, there was chatter, everyone discussing.
"Anything left for me?"A voice asked.Azriel.
"Hi, sweetheart," Mila smiled at him, telling him to seat at the other end.He did, and she served him his food lovingly.Wyatt didn't even spare his older brother a glance, even his men looked displeased to see him.I'm sure they held a grudge that he abandoned them during a war.Maybe Azriel had a reason to do that.
'Don't make excuses for him, he betrayed our mate' Kira bellowed in my head.
I didn't know why I was but I spent like three days with him, and he didn't seem too bad.I closed off my wolf.
Wyatt put a hand over mine, silently asking if I was alright and I nodded.Breakfast was over and I rushed upstairs to grab my bag.We were walking today since we had time.
I kissed my mate goodbye, I intended to give him a quick kiss but he deepened it, unashamed in front of everyone.
"Is your driver ready?"he asked when he pulled away.I shook my head and he frowned.
"We like to walk,"
"We?"
"Yeh, Luca and I," I said.He nodded but wasn't happy.I lingered a while, hoping Azriel will join us but he was busy talking to Mila.
"Azriel, you coming?"Lucas called.Since when do they talk?
"Yea," he said and kissed Mila on the cheek.
"Bye, baby," I waved as I turned to leave but Wyatt grabbed my hand and spun me around.I almost slammed my body into his chest.His nose brushed mine and I felt the hair on my skin stand up.
"Why are you going with him?"he all but growled and I narrowed my gaze on him.
"Um, we work in the same place?"
"he doesn't work there," he hissed,
"I volunteer to help out there," Chimed Azriel.
"That's sudden," Jett added, staring at me.What was he implying?
"I have no time for you," growled Azriel.The tension in the room was thick and could be cut with a knife.Mila stepped forward,
"What's your problem," she was looking at Jett and Wyatt.
"You know the problem, I don't like her near him because -" Wyatt was interrupted by Azriel.
"I might say something to her that will make her hate you?" he said and I looked at my mate, his gaze found me and he looked at me strangely.What was that look in his eyes?Guilty?
"Azriel, enough," Mila said calmly.They had a silent conversation.They were mind-linking.
"Is there something you're not telling me, Wyatt?"
My heart was pounding for an unknown reason.I didn't understand why I felt scared.I wanted his assurance, for him to tell me that all was alright.He inhaled and glared at his brother before putting his hands on my shoulder.
"No, nothing at all," he gave me a halfhearted smile." It's work stuff, my brother can be irrational and not think of consequences sometimes because I swear, if something goes wrong, he'll pay dearly for it," His eyes were trained on his brother as he said the words while Azriel had an amusing smirk on his lips, almost taunting and daring.
"What a fucking good mate you are, brother.Luna, shall we?"Azriel said, his gaze traveling to me before looking at his brother, " She is the Luna, right?"
