Page 52 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"Let's check out the rooms!"Emma tugged on her friends.
I was staring at the blue sea of water, my heart in turmoil yet I didn't know what the problem was.I felt his arms surround me and all the earlier emotions I felt vanished in his warm and safe embrace,
"I love you," he suddenly said.I twisted my neck to look him in the eyes,
"I love you,"
We stayed silent for a while enjoying the time we had together.
"Are you excited about the blue moon,"
"Yes, I want my wolf to finally acknowledge you as my mate, maybe I can even shift," I beamed, just thinking about it." And I want to meet your pack or some of it because I know they are so many,"
"I've been wanting to tell you something," I sensed hesitation in his tone.
"What?"
"It's um, the parliament-" he started but stopped
"You can tell me, is everything alright?"
"We are on holiday, let's not talk about work,"
CHAPTER 39 Topaz Moon Pack
Rachel's POV
"I'm not going to make it easy for him, baba," I paced around my living area.
My father and brother were watching me, uninterested.They did get so much from the alliance indeed and are saying that if the king wants to break the bond, he can without facing resistance from them.
"He presented me, he even marked me as his chosen Luna, how can you all just let him get away with this!"I screamed, touching the mark on my neck.How did he find his mate all of a sudden when he finally agreed to marry and take me as his Queen?I was fuming with anger, I wished he didn't go to Topaz moon pack.
"It's just a mark, my darling, and will probably fade away when he marks his real mate," Baba said calmly.I wasn't expecting this from him.I thought they will have my back on this, and fight the king's decision for me.If the majority of the parliament rule in my favor, Wyatt will have no choice but take me and keep her as a mistress.Kings did that, they had the real Queen and multiple mistresses.
"I want him, Baba, help me and aren't you worried what will happen when he marks another, my wolf will go mad because she chose him as ours,"
"I warned you not to choose him as your mate," Richard said, drinking his wine.My family was of no help
"I want him and I'm not letting some girl take him away from me," I declared fiercely.It was time for battle and I was ready.Adira Wade, I'm coming for you and I will throw everything bad your way.You're my enemy.
I stood up and smiled " Well, if the parliament votes on the future Queen, be sure to vote for me," I said and they chuckled.Seriously?
"Honey, that's his mate, of course, they will vote in her favor and even if they don't, King Wyatt will still make her his Queen because let's face it, he says it's a democratic society but in reality, he has all the power," Richard stood up, leaving me with Baba, he is right about it.Wyatt had much power to go against even the parliament and no one will want to get on his bad side but I can still make things difficult for the girl until maybe she leaves, and if she is from that small pack, she probably has no education about how royalty works.
I smiled and kissed Baba, before exiting the room.I went to the palace.I was surprised to see that the beta, gamma, and the three girls have gathered.They were all in Wyatt's trusted circle and for years, I tried getting in but was rejected.The girls didn't like me no matter how much I tried but they tolerated me because I would be their Queen.Aspen was courteous to me but he was not friendly either, only Jett liked me, we bonded when I discovered his secret.
I admit that when Wyatt marked me, it got to my head and I wasn't the most benevolent but I might lose my crown before it is put on my head so I'm being nice.I straightened my back and smiled as I made my entrance.I could see Dalla rolling her eyes from here.
"Hi, guys," I waved.
"Hey, Rachel," They waved but soon continued to drink and go back to their conversations.Jett stood up to hug me and I held him close, wanting this kind of tenderness today.I sat next to Faye, she only gave me a side eye and smiled at Aspen, asking him to continue with the story.
"Where's the king?"
They all stopped talking and stared at me, all exchanging glances.He must be with his mate.
"He took his mate on holiday, they are on a yacht and having sex as we speak," Faye just ripped the band-aid off.I inhaled and looked at Jett, he only shrugged.My chest tightened and I felt like I was going to cry but didn't.I didn't want to lose Wyatt or my crown to that bitch.
