Page 57 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"Merci," I curtsey to him.
"Where to?"he asked.
"I saw a drive-through near the mall, we can go there and I can have all the chips and burgers I want to eat...I want to go wild with food," I told him and he nodded.
"How's work going?"he asked as he drove.
"It's alright, I assist in teaching a class or two these days," I informed him.
We reached the driveway and I ordered for us.We parked somewhere to eat, and oh my god, it was delicious.I ate so much.
"I didn't know you like burgers this much, I'd be asking the chefs to make them for you every day," he said.
"I do, I used to eat them a lot and I remember gaining some weight during my mid-school and being made fun of," I told him.Those days were terrible but as I grew up, I lost all the weight my mom called baby fat.
"I could never guess," he said.
We later went for a long drive in a secluded area, it was quiet and peaceful.My mate held my hand and we talked about nothing and everything.
It was dark when we decided to go back to the estate, spending time with my mate was awesome of course, he's attentive and loving, and he treats me well.The next few days were going well and I was glad I didn't see Azriel
CHAPTER 43 Curiosity
I was standing by the balcony, waiting for Azriel to go wherever he does because I knew he was back home.I waited a good thirty minutes when he appeared and I ducked, not wanting him to see me.I rushed outside quickly.concealing my scent, I went into the woods.I regretted not bringing a flashlight because my sight was pretty bad at night since I haven't shifted yet.
I wasn't so good at this detective thing.I easily lost his scent and I was going deeper into the forest and these damn mosquitoes wouldn't leave me alone.I squealed when a bug fell on my shoes and then, I heard it.The rustling of leaves, the low sounds emitting from the dark.My heart was racing in my chest and I decided to go back but I didn't know which way to go.A loud growl tore through the forest.
I screamed, running.I didn't get far though when I hit a tree and was sent flying to the ground with a thud.Fuck.A tall shadow appeared in front of me and I backed out, whimpering.I tried to get up to run but I fell again.
"You're pathetic," His voice made me freeze.
"You're a mean one," I sneered and he scoffed, I still couldn't see him properly other than his silhouette.
"Why are you following me?"
"Me?Follow you, no way.I was just taking a walk and got lost," I fibbed.I wasn't a good liar and I'm sure he knew by the high tone and nervousness in my tone.
"You're a lousy liar, now why were you following me?"he growled, getting upset now.
"I- I was just curious," I said at last.He crouched down and pulled something out of his pocket.It was a dagger.
"You'd risk getting an attack to sate your curiosity?"
"This whole area is part of the estate, no one can attack me," I said, trying to sound brave.
"I'm attacking you now, am I not?"he pressed the knife against my neck.My heart was pounding fast.Azriel would never kill me, can he?
"You- you can't kill me,"
"I would just to spite my brother," he said seriously.
"Wyatt will kill you," he growled when I spoke of his brother and he pressed the dagger closer to me but he stood up straight and I did too.
"What do you do out here and where is Wolf?"I asked.
"None of your business, be on your way and this better be the last time you follow me," He said icily.
Turning around to leave, I didn't know my way back home so I followed him.He abruptly turned and grabbed my neck, pushing me against the tree trunk.His touch wasn't hurting though.He was standing close to me, his intense gaze boring through me.Azriel was mad at me, almost like I killed something precious to him.
