“The doctors says he shall wake but we don’t know when exactly,” Answers Jack.
We continue to discuss issues but my mind drifts to my mate. I shouldn’t have said that to her, panic struck her as soon as those words left my mouth. I’ve been protecting her feelings by not mentioning them because I know that she is insecure.
‘You’ve messed up. You hurt our mate,’ Says my Lycan, Saga.
‘She kept on pushing me, you know how persistent she can be,’ I defend.
Elder Lameck has brought up the issue of an heir twice already to me, the man is determined.
“Onto other issues, King Leondre, should we be expecting good news anytime soon?” Asks Ezekiel. Whispers went through the room and Dan and I exchange a look. I only glare at Lamack.
“Yes, it’s been months already, and with-” I interject CC with a growl.
“I know! Do you think things just happen?” I roar. I was getting frustrated with this topic already.
We discuss other matters of the state and conclude.
After our meeting, I went home, my heart pacing as I went upstairs to my room, I was disappointed to find my mate sleeping peacefully in our bed. It was a cold and gloomy night. I got in bed and pulled her closer to me, she leaned into my chest and sighed in satisfaction. As I waited for sleep to come, my mind roams to dreams of the child I’ve been having lately, in my dreams, my son is a beautiful mixture of Alyssa and me. Will I ever have him? Will I ever have a child with my mate? I shake my head from those thoughts.
The next morning, I get ready for the day before my mate wakes up because I have so much to do. I order a bouquet of lilies and place them on the pillow next to her and kiss her.
Leaving the room, I don’t even have breakfast before going to the office. The workload as always was a lot since a few packs are extending.
I grab my phone from the desk and text my mate since her mind is blocked from me. She responds quickly to my question of if she ate. I grab my jacket and get into the car, determined to see her at her new foundation for abused women and it’s a success.
“How’s it going here, Darius?” I ask him, he’s one of the people working closely with my mate.
“It going really well,”
“Where’s my Luna?” I ask, he and Angela exchange a worried glance, making me curious.
“I asked you a question,” I say in an authoritative tone, making them flinch.
“The Luna is in the cafeteria, sir,” Darius says and I nod, walking past the duo. I growl at what I find, my mate is with fucking Erickson, giggling and standing close to each other. I growl and they turn around to face me. I glare at Erickson, and then direct my gaze to my mate, she’s at a loss for words.
“I have told you so many times that I don’t want you near this man,” I all but growl, making her furrow her brows.
“Erickson and I are friends, Leon and we are working together on something,” She retorts, her fist clutched as she furiously bites her bottom.
“Get the fuck out,” I snarl at Erickson. The man always makes me angry even without attacking me. I feel like he’s just there, waiting for something to go wrong so that he can get Alyssa and I refuse to let that happen.
“Watch how you speak,” Alyssa warns, not pleased with my tone.
“um, I think I’ll leave you to tame his bruised ego or whatever, Luna, I’ll send the document via mail,” Erickson says, starting to walk away but Allie grabs his arm, making me angrier.
“No, we are not done with the plan and if anyone should leave, it’s my rude mate,” She says softly and I grit my teeth, angry.
“Allie,” She crosses her arms against her chest, asking me to leave. I grab the nearest chair and throw it against the wall close to Erickson in a fit of rage and Allie gasps.
“Leondre!” She exclaims, coming to me but I turn around and walk away. I can imagine the smirk on Erickson’s face, he was probably waiting for this.
‘Want to grab a drink with me?’ I ask Jack, he’s the only day drinker I know.
‘Is everything alright?’ He asks.
‘Yes, I just need a drink,’
‘You’ll find me at Black Ray club,’ He says and I close the link, I wait a moment in the car before driving away.
Alyssa’s POV
“I can’t believe he did that,” I frown, looking at the broken chair. Leondre acted so out of control, I pick it up and take it to the trash. We fix the tables he scattered.
“Can you blame him?” Erickson asks.
“Yes,” He laughs and I squint my eyes.
“I mean, he’s just jealous, he thinks I’ll take you away from him,” He says kindly with a smile.
“I can’t allow being taken from him. I carry his mark and he has my heart,” I respond. Erickson takes my hand and directs me to sit in front of him.
“You have to understand, I’ve told him many times that I’ll take you away from him and he developed a resentment for me, so he doesn’t believe that my intentions are genuine and platonic now, plus, he is having pressure from the elders about your situation,” He explains, making me blush at the last part, so he also knows about that.
“He’s scared that I won’t give him an heir,” I find myself telling him ” I wanted to know how he felt but damn, it hurt so much,”
“You and Leondre will have a child and they will rule over the realm,” He says confidently. Oh, he does have a seer. After my talk with Erickson, I realize just maybe I was thinking of myself and allowed my insecurity to get the best of me. We finish our work past 3 pm and I head home, when I get there, I don’t find my mate. I decide not to call him and wait for him here at home but I receive an unexpected phone call from Alaiah Martin.
“Hello, Alyssa,”
“Hello, Alaiah,” I stop, how have I not noticed that our names are almost similar? Shaking my head, I ask.
“How may I help you,” She exhales.
“We need to talk,” She sounds serious and I get inquisitive, what would she want to talk to me about?
Ten minutes later, I’m at the pastry shop at the mall, I find Alaiah waiting in a corner booth. I sigh once I’m close and sit in front of her.
“What is it you wanted to talk about?” I ask.
