Page 40 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate
Wyatt was growling and Mila deadpanned, shaking her head.I touched Wyatt's chest, and he was shaking in anger.
"I-- Is everything okay?"My voice trembled.He looked down at me and brought my hands to his lips, kissing them.
"I'll see you later, go,"
I slowly turned around and held unto Lucas' hand as we walked outside.
"You're trembling," Luca said, looking at me with concern-filled eyes.
"I didn't realize," I whispered.
CHAPTER 31 You're Scaring Me
We walked to the school.I was deep in thought the whole day there, Mrs, China, the eighth-grade teacher asked me to help her with a class as she has a doctor's appointment so I did that.Afterward, I went to Azriel at the field.
"What is going on?"I asked.He didn't turn around, instead, just walked over to the bleachers and I followed him, sitting next to him.
"What do you mean, Adira,"
"Don't play dumb now, what was that at home earlier?"I hissed at him.He sighed and ran a hand through his fingers.
"Oh that, don't mind us.My brother and I like to irk each other," he shrugged.
"That was not it, I know you two have issues but that wasn't just about those issues.Azriel, is he hiding something from me," I asked, looking him dead in the eyes.He swallowed and looked at me with the same intensity.
"He loves you, he wants you," he said, the words sounding bitter from his tongue.
"That's not the question,"
"If you doubt him, ask him,"
"I did and you heard what he said,"
"And you don't believe him," he stated.Something was wrong and I knew it.I grabbed his hand gently and he stiffened, I squinted my eyes at his reaction.Does he not like to be touched?
"Sorry," I murmured, retracting my hand.
"Do you love him?"his question took me by surprise but I nodded.I didn't know how or when but I did.I fell for Wyatt.
"Yes, I love him a lot and would hate if he was hiding something from me,"
"What if he was?"he asked.I didn't know what to say to that.I didn't even think about that far ahead.
"I don't know," I admitted softly.
"Just give it time,"
"Give what time, Azriel, you're scaring me," My voice trembled.
"Don't be, you're alright.Your mate loves you," he said, and I smiled halfheartedly at him.He was staring at me.
"Have you eaten?"he asked suddenly and I shook my head.He stood up and directed me to the restaurant just as my brother scored a goal and his team ran up to him, hugging him.
"Yea, Go Luca!"I clapped, cheering for him and he grinned at me.
"He's good," Commented Azriel.
Several nights went by and I got used to my routine, choosing to free myself from any doubt or worry.Over the last few days, I've been training a lot and my stamina has increased.I was lying on the grass, under the half moon when his scent wrapped around me.I smiled at Azriel, sitting up.Wolf came too, sniffing me and licking me with his wet tongue.I pushed him away but he was too excited to see me.
