The Alpha King’s Heart: The King’s Mate
: Chapter 61

Adira’s POV

The night started on a good start, well, until Dwight started a fight with a giant and we were kicked out of their favorite bar. So we are standing outside the bar, laughing at what happened while Dwight is frowning. That man bested him and Ambrose altogether and threw them out like bags of potatoes.

‘I hope you are happy, Dwight!’ Spats Nova.

‘How was I supposed to know that she’s married to that giant.’ he shrugged. Illa smacked him on the shoulder and he looked up, ‘ Get up,’

‘Where are we going,’

‘Next bar, of course, this will not ruin our night,’ We followed Illa to the next bar, and as soon as we entered, the bartender sent us drinks on the house.

‘That was random,’ I said, taking my cocktail.

‘I fucked him a few nights ago,’ Illa shrugged nonchalantly.

As I continued to talk with the girls, I saw someone I didn’t think I would. Richard and Gilbert.

They both smiled at me and waved, I blinked a few times to make sure I was seeing them. Why were they here? I asked myself. The men looked so different from the rest of the people here, they were properly dressed and looked too classy. One could tell that this isn’t their kind of bar.

‘Who are those hotties?’ Nova asked. I didn’t know what to say until the two men reached our table.

‘Hello, Adira’ Gilbert greeted, I sent him a small smile and nodded at him. Richard and Gilbert greeted my friends politely. They were fairly chatty and friendly. Dwight got up from next to me, offering his seat to Richard because the two men told everyone that we were friends. Which was a lie but didn’t voice it out. I planned to ignore Richard the whole night but he kept wanting to talk to me.

I shot to my feet and went to the bar, sitting there for a few minutes. The barman gave me a shot that I took and another until my throat seared. I don’t think I’ve drunk so much. Richard sat next to me.

‘I don’t want you here,’ I said in a clear voice.

‘I’m not here because of Rachel, ‘ he said steadily. I shifted my gaze to him.

‘Then why are you here?’ I asked. He got to his feet and smiled at me.

‘I’m here to dance with you,’ he said with a smile on his face. His hand extended to me and I watched it. I tilted my head and put my hands on the counter.

‘I don’t want to dance with you,’

‘Come on. It will be fun.’ he insisted. I looked around the bar, people were drinking, chatting, and laughing but no one was dancing.

‘But no one is dancing,’

‘We will be,’ he said. I hesitated for a moment but grabbed his hand. He immediately spun me around and pulled me closer to his chest. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He nodded to the DJ and a new song started to play. My body moved against him but there was nothing salacious about it, his hands didn’t roam. We danced to two or three songs until I was tired. We were smiling and got more drinks. A few hours later, Richard offered me a ride home. I said my goodbyes to everyone before leaving. I closed my eyes as Richard drove me back to the cottage.

‘You’re home,’ he said, and my eyes opened.

‘Thank you, and I hope we never meet again,’ I said seriously. I didn’t want any kind of relationship with him. However, Richard was calm and only smiled. I opened the door and rushed to the porch. I carefully entered the house and to my surprise, Wyatt was standing against the window, watching Richard’s car go away. He didn’t look at me at all but his aura was cold and dominating. I walked over to the stairs when he spoke;

‘Stay away from that man,’ his voice was calm.

‘I plan to,’ I said and walked to my room but soon, the door opened as I was taking off my clothes. His eyes trailed on my body and I sat on the bed,

‘I want to rest, now. Please, leave,’ I said. He crouched down to me and cupped my face.

‘That man is Richard and he is-‘

‘You Luna’s brother,’ I interrupted through gritted teeth.

‘I’ll never apologize enough for keeping the truth from you, Adira,’

I knew that he was being honest about everything but I didn’t want to focus on our issues right now, I just want to find out the truth about my identity. I smiled at him and pecked him close to the lips

‘I know you’re sorry but can we just take it easy for a little while?’ I asked gently and he nodded enthusiastically. He smiled at me and my heart melted in my chest. He was too enchanting.

‘Can I sleep here?’ he asked.

‘No, we are taking it easy and this isn’t the way to,’ I said.

‘But I promise not to do anything,’ he said.

‘No, ‘ I was solemn and he frowned, he kissed my forehead tenderly before leaving the bedroom.
