Page 48 of The Alpha King's Heart: His Rejected Mate

"My friend, Chad complained too," Dalla said and I smiled

"I know, Chad,"

"No fucking way!He's my roommate and you didn't hear it from me but he's so gay," she whispered.

"I thought so," I winked.

"You went to section E?"Jett asked, surprised.I nodded,

"They were short staffed so I helped,"

"You went in that area, Adira, what you did was dangerous,"

Wyatt's intense gaze found his brother

"You not only took my woman to the border but you allowed her to wander in the camps, among men," he growled, banging his hand on the table.Azriel rolled his eyes in irritation.

"He didn't let me wander, he was in a meeting and I went outside, by myself," I said in a firm tone.Wyatt needed to stop treating me like a child.

"He knows those men-"

"Can you please just stop," I said calmly.I was getting irritated and this whole issue of me going to the border was getting me a headache.I stood up and smiled at everyone.

"Excuse me, I'll check on my brother," With that, I walked out.

"You're such a fucker," I heard Azriel tell his brother.Growls erupted from the dining room and I shut my eyes.

I carefully opened Luca's room, he was playing games.I removed his AirPods from his ears.

"Hey," he dropped his controller and stared at me.

"Why weren't you at dinner?"

"I didn't want to eat with all of those people," he said.I threw myself on the sofa and massaged my head.

Leaving Lucas' room, I went to the garden outside when I felt my mate's presence behind me, I didn't look back.His arms wrapped around me and he inhaled my scent.

"I'm sorry,"

"For what?"I asked coldly.

"For everything, and for the way I react to things that concern you.I should tame my emotions better," he said and I nodded.

"You and your brother-"

"I fucked his mate," he suddenly said and I get out of his grip, staring at him wide-eyed

CHAPTER 37 Unfair

I felt a chill run down my spine, and cold sweat dripped from my temple, " What?"

He nodded, looking ashamed.

"But why?"

"He did it to me a few years back,"

"You had a mate before me?!"I bellowed.He shook his head.
