We walked for a few minutes without speaking, I was getting more apprehensive because he seemed upset with me.
"That's me," I said, pointing at my lovely home.It was the smallest cabin in the pack but it was our home.It was well-kept and maintained.
"Why do you stay here instead of the packhouse?"He asked, looking at the house in confusion.
"Well, I'm not well-liked in this pack," I decided to tell him the truth.
"Are they mistreating?"A strong aura surrounded him again and I pulled away, he was a scary man indeed.
He took a calming breath, burying his face in my neck.My scent calmed him.
"No," With the way he was acting, I had to lie because he might go there and kill the Alpha.A smile made its way on my lips at the thought that he was angry my pack was mistreating me.
"The Alpha said my parents were traitors to the pack, so they killed them and they hate me for being their child," I shrugged, acting like it didn't bother me.His eyes were boring in mine.Void of emotions but from the way his jaw was clenched, I knew he was angry.
"You are Meryl and Ben's daughter," He whispered, caressing my cheek with his fingers.
"You knew my parents?"I asked, surprised.My parents were quite popular because they were strong and both were original strong betas line, which was uncommon for a pair.Usually, betas were mated to warriors or gammas.
"I knew them, they helped my mother and I once upon a time,"
"My parents weren't traitors," I croaked and he nodded.
"I know that.They were good people and someone was just working against them," He said, cupping my face.Tears welled in my eyes at the thought of them, and how everything changed since their deaths.
"You can cry," He said softly, and like he pressed a remote, tears streamed down my face, and he pulled me into an embrace.
"Adira!"An angry voice boomed and I was startled out of king Wyatt's arms.
CHAPTER 7 The Truth
I abruptly turned around to see Grayson standing there, looking pissed like he wanted to attack the Alpha king.Wyatt pushed me behind him and advanced towards him stealthily.
"Who the fuck are you calling in such a manner?"He growled.Stacy ran to her husband with a few guards.She bowed in the presence of the king several times and said " forgive him, your highness, he took some pills that are bad for him,"
indeed, Grayson was high on something and couldn't stand straight but his red eyes were on me and he looked like he was crying.
"fucking pest, I'll deal with him," Wyatt said but I grabbed his hand.He tilted his head and his eyes met mine.I shook my head no and his eyes softened immediately.
"please, help me take him inside," Stacy whispered to the guards.
"No, I want to talk to her...it's important, please," Grayson slurred.The guards dragged him back in the pack house despite his struggle.Stacy once again bowed to the Alpha king,
"forgive him, the drugs her took were prescribed by the pack doctor but he just overused them...accidentally, of course," Stacy will always make up excuses for Grayson's mess ups and childish behavior.Prescribed Drugs, seriously?Girl bye.
Wyatt dismissed her with a wave of his head and he stroked my hair gently, calming me.
"Adira," He called seriously, my name sounded so sexy when he used it
"No one will mistreat you again, ever, I will punish those who do myself because no one disrespects my queen," He was solemn as he uttered those words and I believed each word.I only nodded and took his hand.
"I'll make you breakfast if you don't mind," I said and he smirked, it made my heart skip a bit.
"What?"
"Nothing and as much as I'd like to come in and eat what you cook, I have a meeting," He said.I sighed and waved at him but he didn't turn around to leave, instead, he was looking past my shoulder.I turned around and followed his gaze to the window, Lucas was standing there, watching us with a frown.
"That's Lucas, I'm sure he's angry that I didn't call last night," I said and he waved at the boy but my brother didn't react.
