"My mate, tell me about her," I asked quietly and everyone's face paled.There was a drop-pin silence in the room.I wondered why they acted so strangely.
"Should I repeat myself?"I snarled and the Alpha was the one who cleared his throat to speak.
"Well, her name is Adira Wade and her father was the traitor beta," He said and I growled at him.
"She's a spoiled girl who causes us trouble," The beta finished, he had a scowl on his face.
"Why was she serving when her rank is high?"Aspen asked.
"I think I saw one of her peers taunt her too," My gamma, Jett, said.
"Well, she...um...does some work for the pack, like- like everyone else," he stammered in his words.
"And about the bullying well, she fights back, she is one of our finest female warriors,"
I chuckled humorlessly.
"So you let anyone bully her because she's a warrior, what the fuck?"Aspen said, shaking his head.I was furious.
"Her parents were traitors to the pack so you can't expect her to be treated like any other member, we are wary that she can-" I didn't let him finish his sentence I had him against the wall, choking the life out of him.
"Did you imprison her after the death of her parents?"His face paled even more when I asked that.I saw some old scars on her body too.
"No, we didn't, King Wyatt, we only questioned her and let her go when we couldn't find evidence," he croaked.
"But you allowed your pack to treat a twenty year old like trash," I growled.
"My king, it's not like that at all, yes, there has been some incidents with her peers but all parties were punished," Beta Steven explained, his voice was trembling.The Alpha's face was now turning blue, and threw him against a chair, he landed on the floor with a satisfying noise.I left the room and went to the guest bedroom where my mate was.I found her sleeping in a position I didn't leave her in.
Bet she'll be getting more than half the size of the bed.I chuckled and stroked her hair.After taking a cold shower, I got in bed with her and I allowed her scent to lure me to sleep.
CHAPTER 6 You Can Cry
Adira's POV
Strong long arms were holding me tightly and as much as I tried to wiggle out of them, I couldn't.I sighed and inhaled his scent, it was alluring like fresh-cut grass.I took this time to study this man, my mate.I still couldn't believe it..My fingers caressed his face, he had a stubble beard that suited him well and high cheekbones, his black hair was nice too and I couldn't resist running a finger in it and then his lips, his cherry lips were inviting and I could kiss them now.I jumped when his eyes suddenly opened and a slight smile graced his lips.
"Good morning," He greeted,
"Good morning," I responded, trying to get out of bed but he held me tightly, making my heart pound out of my chest as faint tingles rush up my body.He looked at me with his onyx gaze, taking me in and I swallowed, maintaining eye contact with him.
"Have you taken me in?"His voice was manly and deep, it made me shudder.My gaze fell on his bare torso and I swallowed.I raised my hand and touched him before nodding.He was a cocky one and knew how handsomely breathtaking he was.He brought his cherry lips to my forehead, the gesture seemed innocent but it almost brought me to tears when I sensed the aura of purity around it.Ever since I was a child, I could decipher auras and hence didn't cower to others.My parents said It was rare and must have come because I was one of the special wolves born under the full-blood moon once in decades."Are you alright?"Wyatt noticed my somber state.
"Yes,"
Waytt McMillian.The Alpha of Alphas.He was the most powerful man walking the earth and was worshipped for his notoriety.How could he be mated to me?Maybe he was wrong but everything will be cleared the next blue moon.
"I need to go," I whispered.He frowned, he looked even more handsome when he frowned.He reluctantly let go of me and I got out of bed.I checked the digital clock and it said 09 am.
"Why are you in a hurry?"He groaned, throwing a shirt over his bare torso.
"I need to check up on Lucas," I said, he extended his hand towards me and I took it.We walked out of the lavish guest room.I felt so many eyes on me and I held them.The twins looked at me with vexation, while others stared in envy and jealousy.I just wanted to go to my cabin now.Unlike most of them, Lucas and I stayed at a cabin not far from the pack house.
As we exited the house, we came face to face with Grayson and Stacy.I stopped in my tracks, making the king stop too.Stacy glared at me once before she fakes smiled at me, I didn't smile back though.My eyes met the man next to her, he was staring at me, covetousness clear in his eyes as he looked at our joined hands, I almost felt guilty and pulled away but the king growled and held my hand tighter.
The two wolves in front of us composed themselves and bowed low to their king, he didn't even acknowledge me.
"Good morning, king Wyatt," Grayson greeted, he tried to sound cheerful but failed.The king went past them and I followed, leaving Grayson and Stacy standing there.
