Page 45 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"That's how it has always been,"
"But they can train, right?"I asked.
"It's a choice, nothing major," What century were they living in?Despite their latest brands of technology, their mind is still in the 20th century.
"Well, I think it's paramount for women to train, and if I were king, I'd make it law that every woman should train and is allowed to join the forces," I said confidently and they smiled at me.The campsite was quiet at night, and it was getting colder.A few blankets were distributed around and the men were going back to the large room they slept in leaving me with Cain and Chad.
"have you been working here for long?"I asked.
"Our shifts here started three years ago," Chad said.
"So, doctors come when you are away?"
"yes, I can't imagine not seeing my family," Cain said.
An hour later, a man came to escort me back to the main camp where Azriel was.
"Alright, I'll see you next time," I waved at the men in the tent.They were doing better than before.They thanked me for my hard work today.I smiled at Cain and Chad,
"I should go, I hope to see you again," I said.They nodded and thanked me too.I left, following the man back to Azriel.He was just concluding with some generals outside.I stood at a distance from them.A man who smiled at me earlier appd me;
"Good evening, young lady, have you looked around the camp?"he asked gently.I nodded.
"Yes, but I think area E is lacking in supplies," I told him, pointing.The old man only frowned and shook his head,
"We shall do something about it soon," he said but I didn't believe him, however, I nodded.He excused himself and went away just as Azriel came to me.
"Let's go," he said.
We went to the car with him leading me.I entered the car and checked my phone.I found missed calls from Wyatt, he has been busy with the seminar but remembered to call.I felt terrible for missing his calls.I immediately called him back,
"Adira, where are you?"Wyatt didn't sound happy at all.I frowned and bit my lower lips, I didn't know what to say to him.
"um, I'm with Azriel at one of the borders," I said quietly.Silence.I could hear his heartbeat.
"Wyatt, I was just home and I wanted-"
"I told you to not associate with my brother, Adira," he growled." Couldn't you just listen to me?I know that bastard, he'll start-" He didn't finish his sentence when he growled loudly, making me flinch.He ended the call before I can say a word.
Azriel was leaning against the car door, smoking a cigarette.I'm sure he heard my conversation with Wyatt and was waiting for me to finish.He threw away his cigar and entered the car.
CHAPTER 35
We reached home in forty minutes and my heart was pounding as I went into the house, without saying a word to Azriel.I noticed Wyatt standing against the window alone in the dark living room.He was wearing an all-dark office outfit and he exuded power.He glanced at me coldly as I walked towards him.I stopped in front of him,
"hey," I reached my hands to touch him but he tilted his head so I shouldn't.Why was he so mad at me?
"Why did you go with him?"
His tone was cold.
"I was doing nothing at home and I insisted to go with him,"
"Where?"
"At the western border,"
Crack.A glass he was holding cracks in his hands while he didn't even flinch.
