Mated To The King’s Gamma By Jessica Hall

Chapter 38

The time had finally come for me to leave, and I was waiting out front of the castle, sitting on the steps. A small bag sat between my feet that Clarice had made up for me, so I had a few things to take with me until Kade organized clothes for me. Yet as the car pulled in, I jumped to my feet and rushed over to him. The bond tugging me to my mate, and I was ecstatic that Ivy could come with us. That I would eventually get Tyson back. Today was a good day. everything was coming together, though I would miss this place. Miss Gannon and Clarice, but Kade promised I could visit whenever I wanted.

smacked into his chest the moment he got out of the car, and he wrapped his arms around me, burying his face in my hair before pecking my lips softly.

“Get in the car, my love. We need to head home,” kade whispers, cupping my face in his hands. Looking around, I tried to find Gannon but couldn’t see him. So instead I turned to the King and gave a quick bow to him. Though shockingly Damian gave me a brief hug before I looked around again. He was just here seconds ago. Where did he go?

“Where did Gannon go?” I ask, a little disappointed. Alpha Kade grips my shoulder, turning me toward the car.

“You said goodbye to your friend?” he asks me and I look up at him, nodding. He inclines his head toward the car, and I slowly walk back to it before climbing into the passenger seat and clipping in my belt. Kade shuts my door and I watch as he talks to the King, my hands sweat and I wipe them on my pants.

After a few minutes, he climbs into the car starting it. I wave to the King and those waiting. The King stiffly waves back and I peer up at Kade. “The King looks angry.” I tell him.

“Probably busy.” is all Kade offers. We drove to the bridge where we are supposed to meet Ivy, yet as time slipped on, and the closer it neared to 7 PM the more nervous I got. I paced along the walkway, looking to the path below. Once Seven came and went, i heard howls fill the sky and Kade gasps.

Nervously I look at Kade. “I don’t think she is coming, love, she must have changed her mind,” I shake my head, knowing she wouldn’t have.

“No. She’ll be here,” I tell him, pacing again.

“Abbie!”

“No, she will be here,” I tell him and he growls behind me. I peer over my shoulder at Kade, and he presses his lips in a line.
