Page 30 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
"Hey, my love.I missed you,"
Between school and football practice, we barely spend time together.He grinned as he sat, immediately grabbing a fork and taking a bite of his food.
"Too good," He moaned.Azriel came down into the room, he changed now and was wearing sweatpants and a black shirt.
"You?"Lucas said, frowning deeply as he stared at the man.Did they know each other?
"Do you know him,"
"He was at my school today, training us,"
"I didn't know you live here too," Azriel chided.Lucas scowled at him.
"I do, and you, why are you here?"He asked icily
"I stay here too.This is my house...Kinda.it's my brother's anyway," He shrugged, grabbing a knife and fork as he cut his meat to eat.
The two men talked- no, bickered the whole time during dinner for something that happened during their training session.I felt Azriels's gaze on me once or twice, his stare was intense but I pretended not to notice.
As I went to bed, I received a message from Wyatt." Hello, my treasure.It was a busy day today and I will spend the night here, see you tomorrow," I only sighed, hating that he texted instead of a phone call.I put my phone away and changed into my nightgown, getting ready to sleep.
CHAPTER 25 Wolf
The next day, my eyes fluttered open when I heard growls.I tightened my robe as I got on the balcony and leaned over to see what was going on down there.
It was Azriel's wolf.He was lying on his belly, rolling on the ground, and looking like he was having the time of his life.The wolf sensed me immediately and sat up, curiously looking at me.His neck tilted a bit and I mimicked his actions, he turned around and I did too.I was too bored with my life clearly, so here I was frustrating the poor predator.He started barking and growling at me and I did the same, my stance threatening as his.
"Wolf!"I heard Azriel call." What are you-" He stopped his sentence as his eyes met mine on the balcony.He visibly swallowed and nodded his head once before crouching down to pet wolf.
"Why do you have a wolf?You're a werewolf," I said.
"I found him in the forest when he was a pup, I think he lost his pack and I decided to take him in," he said gently.
"What's his name?"
"Wolf,"
"Why?He's already a wolf.Couldn't give him something else?"
"It's the first thing I thought of," he shrugged, standing up.He looked like he was ready to go jog or something.
"Can I come running too?"I asked, and he stared at me.He seemed to be in deep thought before he nodded.I squealed and rushed to my closet, putting on my leggings and sports bra.I swore my running shoes.I went first to Lucas' room, waking him up.
"I should find you ready for school when I come back,"
"It's still 5 am," he groaned.
"You only have an hour!"
"Get out!"he roared.I ran down to meet Azriel outside.I stood in front of him, his gaze fell on my breasts for a second and I narrowed my gaze.
"Shall we?"he nodded and started our jog.We were running side by side through the back tarmac of the estate, indeed, the estate was huge and my chest was burning.I was breathing heavily and my legs wanted to give up but I pushed harder.Azriel didn't even sweat once.He looked back at me and shook his head
"C'mon, it has only been forty minutes!"he said.
"Can we walk and then start up again?"I asked, panting.
"How are you a wolf with this kind of stamina," He asked.Even though my fighting skills weren't bad, my stamina.I needed to start working out to build it up.
