Page 58 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"I don't know my way back home," I said quietly.Irritation flickered in his eyes exhaled.
"You irk me,"
"Why?"I breathed.
"You just do, Wyatt, he gets to -" He didn't finish his sentence, just breathing heavily.
"You're so naive," he spat, pushing me against the free, and taking a step back.He crouched down as though he was in pain, hands on his knees.Was he suddenly feeling unwell?
"Are you alright?"I asked concerned.I made a move to touch him but the animalistic sound he produced made me jump in the air, his eyes flashing gold.I raised my hands in surrender, wondering if that was his wolf close.
He took breaths and after he was calm, he began to walk.I followed him quietly, battling with tree branches and leaves that were hitting me.
"Are we almost there yet?"I murmured.Azriel ignored me, he stopped unexpectedly just as my leg got stuck between two stones and I almost fell on him but he caught me.
"Walk properly," he looked irritated.
"Why are you so mad at me these days?"I pouted.He looked like he was about to say something but chose not to.His eyes fixated on me, but this time, they were gentle.
"Let's go," He said, grabbing my hand in a firm grip.He led me out of the forest.I recognized the huge willow tree behind the mansion and I shrieked happily.
"We made it,"
"I'm sorry," Azriel stopped walking and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Was that your wolf who threatened me earlier?"he asked.
"I don't know but I'm apologizing for that and what I said last time," his tone was still cold even though he was apologizing.
"Yea, you are a douche," I said.
"Don't go in these forests at night,"
"You do," I shrugged.
"Do as you please then but don't follow me.I don't want you dead because of me, I wouldn't hear the end of it from Wyatt," he said.
"Go on," he urged.I nodded and went ahead, turning back.I found he was gone.
"I bruised my arms," I muttered as I went towards the house.The guards were bowing to me.I took my cardigan off as soon as I entered the house and sat on the leather sofa, catching my breath.
The night was cold and the bed felt lonely without Wyatt by my side.I kept having weird dreams about someone sinking their canines in me.
CHAPTER 44 Flowers For You
The next morning, I got ready for work, wearing a nude dress with one sleeve and carrying my leather handbag.The assistant chef immediately handed me my favorite lemongrass tea as soon as I entered the kitchen.
"Thank you," I said, drinking it.I looked up the floor and turned to the door when a familiar scent hits me.
"Morning," Azriel greeted, they gave him dark coffee and he sat in front of me.
"You have bags under your eyes," he commented,
"Didn't have a good sleep?"
"No, mostly because I spent my evening being chased in the woods, what was that?"Now that I'm thinking about it, something was chasing me.
"I asked Wolf to scare you," he shrugged.I gaped at him and set my mug down on the table.His eyes were fixed on me.
