The King's Return

27| THE RICH CHINESE ALPHA

LOGAN'S POV

"I went to the mall like you asked me to. Your mate really was there and she spent hours there waiting for someone.

"I made some calls and I got to know that she was supposed to go to a spa with her friend. She did go there and when she realised her friend wasn't coming, she left her number according to the receptionist.

"What surprised me was that the friend she was supposed to meet was Sebastían just like you suspected when you heard that he wasn't around either.

"When I asked the receptionist about the person who made the booking, she told me that it was Sebastían. Amira knew which is why she went there to check if he really did.

"She said Sebastían never came though and that they had called Amira to let her know that he never came."

I had hoped that Jake would find out that I was just being paranoid and that Amira wasn't there or maybe she didn't even plan a date with Sebastían.

I know they've been friends since childhood but ever since that i***t said he had feelings for Amira, I hate that I don't even know what happens when they are together.

I don't have a problem with my mate having male friends but not someone like Sebastían, at least not after what he did.

Leo is confused about the whole thing and he is not someone who gets confused so easily, he acts on instinct and I fear this may affect him more than I would like to admit.

When Sebastían told Amira about his feelings for her, Leo wanted to kill him because to him, there was no justifying what Sebastían was trying to do; stealing our mate.

When Amira told me that she didn't want me to kill Sebastían no matter how upset she was about what he said, Leo wanted to do anything to make her happy which in that case was to restrain himself from killing her friend.

After all that, I had promised myself that I wouldn't do anything to him just for the sake of what he did for Amira all these years when they were back in pain but now, I don't even know what to do and me being confused affects Leo.

He loves our mate just as much as I love her and even though he is angry, he wants to keep a promise we made to her no matter how difficult that is.

"I haven't seen Sebastían and I don't even know if he is still here. I went to his brother this morning but he was still with his mate and I didn't want to disturb them." He kept quiet after that as if he was thinking about what to say next.

"Say whatever you want to say, Jake." I just want to be done with this thing.

"I'm sorry for not paying attention to what goes around this pack. I saw Maya going to Julían's room yesterday but it never occurred to me that she never left and I didn't even notice Amira or Sebastían leaving. I should have known that Maya wasn't with Amira and reported back to you."

"Don't be ridiculous Jake, none of that is your fault. Even if you did see my mate leaving, you weren't going to stop her or make her change her plans.

"She's a grown woman and she can make her own decisions. Enough about that, how are Dmitri's wolves settling up?" If I don't stop talking about my mate having a date with that i***t, I might lose my mind.

"Yeah, everything is going fine and they seem to be comfortable. I asked our members to help them settle and everything because I was afraid you weren't going to come and address them."

I didn't know if I could handle being around new people and since I still needed answers, I was afraid I was gonna snap at everyone and somehow lose control.

No one wants to be ruled by a king who loses control of his own wolf.

"Thank you, Jake, I really appreciate that. I will like to meet them later this evening. What about Dmitri's sister-in-law?"

"She doesn't stop talking, I had to lie and tell her that I had lots of emails to respond to and calls to make so that she would stop talking.

"I think one of the reasons the Alpha asked her to come was so that he could catch a break. I don't know how I'm going to survive with her here." I managed to chuckle at that.

"I guess you're right. Dmitri said that the sisters have always been inseparable which means he can not even ask his mate to tell her sister to go back to China. I can only imagine what he's been going through ever since he got married." It was going to be worse if the Chinese Alpha was just as talkative as her sister.

"I was wondering why she looked so familiar. So her sister is that rich Chinese Alpha! Wow, she is well-mannered, apart from that mouth of hers at least. I would expect her to be so arrogant considering her family is like royalty in her country."

I wonder where Jake got all that information. I do keep records of werewolves but their wealth has never been my concern.

"I remember them now, I wonder how Dmitri's pack is falling apart when he married such a person. Diamond has everything and I know with the type of wealth she has, she can build houses for every pack member there and still be left with a lot of money.

"She can feed everyone there. The Ling family has more than enough." I know Dmitri's Luna has a lot of money but it doesn't mean she has to take the responsibilities of the pack.

It's not like Dmitri is poor either, he is also rich but I can understand that losing the pack funds affected them a lot and they need to know who is behind it before they can add to that amount of money.

Since their marriage was held not long ago, I know they still have a lot of changes to do and now with what is happening, it may affect all their plans.

AMIRA'S POV

I knew this was coming, it was inevitable but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I have never been so afraid of anything like this before because I never thought it would happen to me until yesterday.

It has been a week since I last spoke to Logan and I don't even know if I will ever speak with him since it has become obvious that he is avoiding me.

I have been spending more time with Maya more because I didn't want to keep thinking about him but it has made this even more painful.

Maya and Julían told me that they were going back home and even though I knew it was going to happen, it didn't make it less difficult to accept.

Spending time with Maya was helping keep me sane and now that she is leaving, I don't know what will happen to me.

"Are you sure you can't stay another day or two? I don't know how to live without you." I asked her as she was busy packing her things.

"I'm sorry hun, I wish I can stay with you forever but you know I am mated to Julían now and I have to stay with him.

"Things are not going the way I thought but we have to go back home and his parents are impatient. If it was up to them, we would be home by now and you also know how they are." She rolled her eyes at that.

We love Julían's parents but they are very dramatic.

"They wanted to come here when Julían told them the news, apparently, they always knew we were mates but they never said anything.

"According to Melissa, she wanted her son to be a man and she had been waiting for that day ever since she suspected, which was when I was five."

I couldn't help but laugh at that. It can be either true or not but knowing Julían's mom, that is not true.

"I wish I can just pack my things and come with you guys. It would be nice to be back home but then every time I think about my dad, my desire of being home disappears." And there is Logan too, I can't leave him.

"Are you crazy? If you go back home with us then that would mean you're leaving your mate behind. You would regret that for the rest of your life, trust me, I know."

It's not like she left Julían behind, Julían was the one who rejected her, he gave her no choice.

"Look, I know that something is wrong with you and Logan, you don't have to tell me but you have to know that there's nothing that can not be fixed.

"You just have to sit down and talk about it. Trust me, everything will work out just fine and then in a few days you're gonna call me and share the good news."

She smiled at me. When she finished packing, she closed the bag and sat next to me.

"I know it may seem like everything is falling apart but you have to believe in the love you guys have for each other.

"Once Logan is done with helping the Russian wolves settle, he will have all the time in the world to be with you and I know the wait will be worth it."

I didn't know my best friend was paying that much attention to me. I have been spending a lot of time with her so that she wouldn't know something is wrong but it seems she knows me too well.

"Julían wanted to do something nice for you before leaving but since we're leaving tonight, you'll have to wait for it until tomorrow.

"I also made you something that will remind you of me when I'm no longer with you here in Manchester, I know you will love it but promise me you won't cry when you see it." Her eyes were already full of tears and yet she is asking me to not cry when I see whatever she made for me.

"I will miss you so much and I will try to visit you as much as I can. I would've asked you to visit me so often but I know that once you become the queen, you won't have time for that but you can visit us anytime you get a chance.

"I also wanted to ask you to be kids' godmother too but Julían thought it was still early for that." What?! Godmother? I looked at her and she was smiling at me, her eyes still filled with tears.

"I wanted to tell you yesterday but I didn't want to overwhelm you. I noticed that something was changing in me but I didn't know what it was so I told Julían.

"He said my scent was different and then we realised I'm pregnant. He could hear the heartbeats and it seems I'm carrying twins, we're not sure though since it is still early but I will make sure to keep you updated."

Wow! I don't even know what to say. It seems my friend is being blessed up and down, from getting back her mate and now she is carrying his babies.

I am so happy for them, especially Maya, she deserves nothing but the best.

I can't help but feel envious though, Maya and I have always done everything together and not it seems all of that is going to change.

I want all that with Logan, I want to be mated to him, I want to carry his child and I want to be his wife. I want to be his everything.

I have to find a way to talk to him, I'm going to look for him in every room in the castle if I have to but there is no way I'm letting him avoid me. If he is angry at me, he has to tell me what I did wrong so that I can apologise and fix the problem.

Enough is enough.
