Wyatt's pov
She was mine, and oh goddess, she was more beautiful than I expected. She had long blonde strawberry hair, amethyst eyes... A unique color. I was restraining myself from fucking her right there. My mate was beautiful and to think I didn't want one and now, I couldn't imagine losing her.
Adira, my Adira. After years of hoping and praying for a reunion, here she was in my arms. I doubt she'd remember me since she was a child when I saw her last. We were only kids.
My mother and hers were best friends growing up, but they separated since they went in different packs. One day, Aunt Meryl came to meet us with her little girl too. She was only five, and I was twelve at that time, but we connected well. I remembered the anxiety that welled in the pit of my stomach when she was leaving,
' Can she stay here?' I asked my mother. She smiled at me and shook her head.
' No, my baby, maybe when you are older, you can go to see her,' Mother had told me. I nodded and gave her back to her mother. Little Adira gripped my shirt so tight and cried, she wanted to stay with me. We eventually parted. I thought of her a lot but eventually, that day became a blur and my mind convinced me that it was only a dream until I found her again. I can't forget those eyes.
She stirred a little in my arms and only did I realize she was sleeping. I carried her out of the hall, many eyes watched me in awe and women were jealous of her.
Adira was not popular, and I could tell she wasn't treated well by the way they glared at her but that is about to change now.
' And that pup, the way he touched her,' My wolf, Rolf, growled.
Anger took over when I remembered that he touched her like he had some sort of claim on her. My wolf growled in my head. Our mate was mine, only ours. I was told that our rooms were prepared and not wanting to wake her, I lay her gently on the bed. I watched her sleep before placing a lingering kiss on her forehead.
' She didn't recognize us,'
She was twenty yet had never shifted even though her wolf appeared already. I was reminded by how her eyes shone a distinctive purple when our eyes locked gaze from up close. There was only one bloodline whose eyes were like that. The moon wolves, I'll ask my mother to tell me more about their Wade heritage.
I walked out of the room and down to the hall. That fucker, Mars, killed two delegates. I pushed the door open to the conference room and they got to their feet, bowing low. They only sat when I did.
" I hope you have a good explanation for killing those diplomats," I stared at the alpha. He seemed uneasy, the aura that surrounded me was domineering and suppressed their wolves.
" We didn't kill them, they were involved in an accident, we wrote that in the report, my king," Mars said and I narrowed my gaze on him.
" A fucking shitty report! Those delegates were sent to find out what happened to the Wades and hear from you in detail how and why they were killed without the parliament knowing of it,"
This pack was growing suspicious. We learned about a year ago that they killed the beta and beta female of the pack, so, we sent ambassadors to investigate, but. They never made it alive, they claimed there was an accident and died. They forcefully took over their neighboring pack.
" We- Well, we just heard an explosion as they left the pack, and we rushed to the scene, but it was too late as their vehicle caught fire,"
Beta Steven explained. He was a sketchy man who wanted power, I could tell. Could it be he had a hand in what happened to the Wades?
" But it's been three years since the death of the former beta, why are you investigating now?" The alpha's son asked. I glared at him and he tensed.
" Because there's something fishy going on here, and you have been problematic lately," Jett said, grimacing at the young alpha.
" I don't follow,"
" Taking over nearby packs? Are you fucking kidding me!" I boomed.
" No, they started causing us problems first,"
" And the solution is to kill the alpha and take over their pack?" I asked.
They kept on explaining their actions in a way that didn't make sense to me. I was growing angry and tired as the minutes passed by. They will have to be dealt with later.
" 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 parents are pack traitors," 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 everyone else," he stammered in his words.
" And about 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 have been some incidents with her peers, but all parties were punished," Beta Steven explained, his voice trembling. The alpha's face was now turning blue, and he threw himself 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.
Adira 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," " 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 rushed 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 touch
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 toward him stealthily. " Who the fuck are you calling in such a way?" 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 into the packhouse despite his struggles. Stacy once again bowed to the alpha king, " Forgive him, the drugs he t
Adira I was watching a movie with Lucas when I heard a buzz through the mind link. People were saying that the alpha king's men were going around, selecting members of the pack from their homes to torture them. I wonder what they did this time. This pack was trouble, and I'm sure they did something to bring the king's anger. I shut off the mindlink. " What do you want for lunch?" I asked. He thought for a while " No pizza," I said. This kid loved pizza so much. " Take out or are you making it?" " I'll order from a restaurant," I said, feeling too lazy to cook. " I want fish and chips, and a coleslaw without mayo," I grabbed his phone and ordered the food, and in thirty minutes, they delivered it right to my door. We ate the food in front of the TV. " I don't get why boys get excited about violence. Look at that guy, who was just a bystander, and boom, he's dead," I frowned. " I don't get half of the films you select, but I watch anyway," he shrugged. " No wonder I liked wa
Their punishment was done for the day and Waytt and I went to his guest bedroom." Want to shower?" he asked. " No, I'm good," I said. It was a little chilly. He took off his shirt and my gaze roamed over his god-like muscular chest. He was curved perfectly, sure the creators took special time to make him because no one could compare. My pussy was pulsating at this point yet not all his clothes were off. Wyatt smirked and his eyes were darker than ever now. He smelled my arousal. He gestured for me to stand up and I obliged. He caressed my face and bent down to kiss my lips, my heart was pounding and he bit my bottom lip gently, I parted them and he explored my mouth with his tongue. The kiss was soft but intense, his hands were on my side, caressing softly. He pulled away from me and I felt so much emotion and passion. My face was burning red under his searing gaze. "You're my mate, mine," he said and put his forehead over mine. The king kissed me again, this time more demanding. It
Thirty minutes later, I brought the food out, and I was shocked to see Wyatt follow me to the kitchen. Assisting me to bring out all the food. I smiled at him and he kissed my temple. " Thank you," We finished eating and everyone was pleased with my cooking. Luca was sleeping and Aspen offered to take him to bed. The boys decided to watch a movie and after debating on what they will watch, they decided on Deadpool. Waytt pulled me in his arms but I slept halfway through the movie. I woke up later in my bed. I sat up straight and went to the salon, they all left and cleaned the place. I sat on the sofa. Picking up the cushion Wyatt used and inhale his scent. I took a shower and changed into my lacy nightdress. I opened the door to get some fresh air and found myself on the bench under my favorite tree. I was thinking about my king. He was so gentle and sweet to me. Making me wonder if the rumors about him being a monster were false. My entire body stiffened when I saw him in front o
Later in the afternoon, Wyatt was taking me out for a date so I got ready in a pastel-colored dress with a flattering ruched bodice, and let my hair down before wearing some heels. " You look pretty," My brother said. I turned away from the mirror. " Thanks, can you to help me with the earrings?" I asked. He walked over and put my earrings for me. " Are you going out with the king?" He arched an eyebrow. I sighed and stood up. Luca still didn't like the king too much even though they watched two football games together. He was just scared that I might get hurt again. It was hard when my pack and all my friends turned their backs on me but I survived. I cup his cute little face " I'll be fine, and I want this... I think," I swallowed. So far, the alpha king has been nothing but gentle and kind toward me, " I heard bad stories about him," He said slowly. " We can't judge people based on stories, Luca, we get to know them first and make a decision for ourselves," I said and he nodd
We went upstairs and I smiled as the cool air hit me. I loved this view. I missed it. He pulled out a chair for me and kissed my shoulder and sat. The menu soon came and we ordered what we wanted. He grabbed my hand suddenly and my heartbeat quickened. " Adira, we have to leave soon," He said. I knew this was coming sooner or later, he couldn't stay here forever. I didn't answer, I didn't know what to say so, he continued," You and your brother are coming with me to my pack," " As your Luna?" I asked. He looked at me dubiously and I arched my eyebrows at that. He was in turmoil. Was he not telling me something? I wanted to ask if he was hiding something when he spoke," Of course, but for now, you'll just be my mate," I squinted my eyes. " Only because we need to take care of some formalities and after they are sorted out, you'll be my Queen, officially," He said. Oh yes, he had to inform the parliament about finding his mate. I also forgot that I have to wait for my first shift.
Reaching my bedroom, I inspected the room. I will miss this home. Even though the pack members didn't treat me with kindness, this home was my haven, our little place. I was happy Luca didn't go through half of what I had to endure because he's a kid and the young ones didn't know anything about politics but he would come home, angry because someone commented something about me to him and the boy knew how to throw a good punch. I quickly showered and wore my shorts, soft t-shirt, and socks. I pulled my hair into a messy bun before going back to the main room. My mouth watered at the delicious goodness on the table and I sat on the carpet, grabbing my food to eat. " Have your men gone back? I haven't been seeing them lately," I said." Some did with Aspen, and the others are traveling with us tomorrow," He answered, eating his noddles. I nodded, so we are going with brooding Jett. For some reason, he irked me. " You must be sad to leave your friends," I told Luca. " It sucks, do we
