The Alpha King's Heart - Chapter 89: Chapter 89

“ You saw that doctor, she was the one all over me,” Wyatt almost shouted, and I scowled at him. “She almost forced herself on me despite telling her, she needed rest,” My cheeks burned as I turned my head to look out the window. Wyatt was such an aah! He enjoyed embarrassing me. The doctor giggled and came to my side.
“ Hello, Lady Adira, how do you feel,” she asked, checking my vitals.
“ I’m alright, just a little tired,” I told her. I was feeling better, and my wolf healed me fully, but my body was not at full strength yet.
“ Hmm, indeed, I’m truly impressed by your strength. You gave so much in the fight yet look like this two days later.”
“ Two days? I’ve been asleep for 48 hours?!” she checked her wristwatch and nodded.
“ Yes,"
“ Wyatt,” I complained. Why didn’t he tell me?
“ You didn’t ask,” he said. Luca should have been back and tried to call me, but I was passed out.
“ Luca!”
“ I picked him up, and he’s back at the Estate,” Azriel said, and I smiled at him.
“ Thank you,”
He returned my smile, taking me by surprise.
“ How are you Adira?” his tone was gentle, and he stood closer to me, I didn’t ignore Wyatt’s sour expression on his face.
“ I’m better now,” I said politely. I extended my hand towards my mate and he smiled, interlocking our fingers and kissing the hand. Only the doctor spoke to us. She recommended some exercises I should do and what to take while I restore my strength.
“ You need to be careful with your gifts, Luna, if you use too much of it, it might end up killing you,” she warned, and left the room. There was an uncomfortable silence for a full minute and I was relieved when the girls walked in, carrying huge bouquets in their hands.
“ Oh, Adira, you scared me,” Dalla said, throwing herself in my arms and holding me tight. She had a strong grip but Wyatt pulled her away so that she didn’t hurt me.
Eva was crying, and I almost rolled my eyes; so theatrical, “ I thought I almost lost my best friend,”
I raised an eyebrow at her, best friend? We talked but we certainly weren’t the best of friends. Faye groaned and Eva glared at her, “ What, jealous much?”
Faye laughed; “ You are not even close. If anyone is to claim that title, it should be me. We bonded over the McMillian brothers last time,” she crossed her arms against her full chest proudly. Okay, what was going on?
Faye smiled sweetly at me and hugged me. I patted her back uncertainly while glancing at Wyatt, who only shrugged his shoulders.
“ I’m so proud of you, Bes,” she exclaimed, it was unlike her to be so good to me.
“ Just what is going on with them?” I asked Dalla. She took out her phone and started showing me articles, and some had pictures of me. However, I still didn’t understand.
“ What you did at the front, spread like wildfire, and you’re more popular than ever, not only in this city but packs outside too,” she informed me with a huge smile on her lips. I got her phone from her hands and slowly began to scroll through and indeed, Wyatt was unaware of this. He looked shocked but pleased.
“ The healer Luna!” Eva exclaimed, her high pitch made us all hold our ears.
“ With all these magazines and tabloids covering you, you’re going to be more popular than the king himself,” Faye said, smirking at Wyatt. He was the most popular wolf in the packs.
“ I don’t care for that,” I mumbled, Eva and Faye gasped.
“ Everything is a popularity contest in our world and you are climbing the graphs real fast,” Eva said with a genuine smile.
“ Our little bird is spreading her wings, guys,” Faye cried dramatically. Wyatt was smiling at me, looking into my eyes.
“ Don’t look at me like that, I just did what-”
“ I know, and I’m just happy you’re gaining favor, it will take you a long way to create the change you want to see in packs,” he said, genuinely happy.
“ So, will you get jealous when your woman takes your place as the most loved and popular wolf?” Dalla asked, eyeing him.
“ No, if she wins, I win. we are one,” he said. He placed his hands on either side of my arms and kissed me.
“Aw. so cute,” The girls clapped. I felt a strange wave of aura around the room, and I gently pushed Wyatt away from me.
My eyes found Azriel in the room, he looked normal but I felt odd in my chest. This was new. I didn’t owe him a thing, right?
We spent half of the day in my hospital room, laughing and talking. It was good but I couldn't leave with everyone else as the doctor still wanted to observe me even though I told her, I felt better already. Wyatt stayed with me,
"What about work?" I asked him.
" I want to spend the night with the woman of my dreams, you and I don't spend enough time together," he said and I nodded. He got in bed with me and leaned his back against the bedboard while I placed my head on his chest, his long warm fingers were stroking my head and I was purring.
" Did you find out the gender of the baby?" I asked suddenly and his whole body went rigid. " Wyatt, we are going to talk about it sooner or later, it's your child, it's not going anywhere and I'm like the bonus mom," I said gently. He exhaled, making his chest rise and fall.
" We haven't found out yet,” I lifted my gaze from his chest to look him in the eye,
“ Why?”
“ I’ve been busy,” he said, I got comfortable again.
“ Were they other women you’ve been with before me?” I asked. He kept quiet for a long time and I knew Rachel wasn’t the only one.
“ Yes, but they meant nothing to me. Before I found you, I was just a king who didn’t believe in love or the mate bond, and I only used women to satisfy my desires.”
“ You’ve never been with anyone since we met?” I was looking at him now, and he seemed angry, actually.
“ No!”
His expression softened, and his warm hand caressed my face softly, " I'd never even think about being with someone else, the idea of it repulses me,"
I kissed his lips tenderly and breathed, " I love you,"
he stared at me and nodded, but something seemed off, " What is it?"
" Do you have any feelings for him?" he asked, and my heart hammered in my chest, knowing exactly who he was talking about.
" Azriel is just a friend,"
" And has been there with you for all the bad," he said, and I swallowed, his gaze held me in place and left no room to escape, his irises were shining with something.
" You gave me your heart, I will treasure it, and never be careless with it," I said solemnly. He was scared, scared that I would one day break his heart. He seemed happy and content with that promise, and he kissed me ever so gently. My heart melted in my chest and I kissed him. I got over him swiftly but carefully and put my legs on either side of his. His large hand cupped my ass, and I moved closer to him,
" I want you," I said, his lips were on my neck, and his hands were touching my breast as his lips continued ravishing me.
" I like it when you're on top," he husked, his breath heavy and driving me crazy.
" Oh yeah, and I like it this way too," I purred. I was grinding my hips against him and I could feel his bulge getting bigger and longer as he rubbed me against me. I smiled and bit his neck, how I wish I could mark him.
" I love you," he whispered against my ear. I cried in a whisper when I managed to take his erection in me. I moved my hips as he liked and he chanted my name. Our bodies were closer than ever, all I wanted was to be molded with him at that moment. He moved under me vigorously, and I moaned his name, his beautiful name was smooth off my tongue, and I bit my lower lip in pleasure when I felt my orgasm coming close.
" OH YES,"
I was a mess, but I moved faster and wilder for my release. My body shook as I reached my pinnacle, just as he did. Our breath shuddered at once, and he hugged me closer to him. He was inhaling my scent while catching his breath. I pulled away from him and caressed his face, he kissed my nose and smiled. We stayed silent for a long time, just breathing. It was ... Beautiful.
