The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 26 Safe and Sound (Part 2)
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
I smiled at what he said. Good to know that he’s okay.
“King?” I looked outside when a man knocked on the car’s window.
He looked at me then to the man outside.
“I will just going to talk to him.” He excused himself so I nodded my head. I watched him get off the car again and leave.
When he’s gone, I leaned back on the passenger seat and took a d*eep breath.
I didn’t expect this to happened. Unpredictable eh? How come that we did not feel the presence of those rouges? There’s something strange about that.
Did they just temporary masked their scents? But the question is, who help them? who masked their scents? Only a witch can do that.
There’s a witch inside of the territory, aside of me. I stopped thinking when he got inside the car again.
“You looked bothered, a penny of your thought?” I shook my head.
“No, Nothing serious. When we will leave?” I asked him to change the topic.
“Thirty minutes from now, some of the warriors were still repairing the damage cars.” He answered. I nodded my head in understanding.
“Oh, I see.” I replied shortly.
The surrounding became silent, no one of us dared to talk. This is hella awkward.
“Ummmh, I’ll go outside a little bit. I just wanted to take some fresh air.” I told him. He looked intently at me like he was deciding if he’s going to let me go or not.
“Alright, but just be careful and come back quickly.” He replied. Great.
“I’ll shall leave now then, I’ll be back later.” As I said that, I leave. I didn’t wait him to talk back, because he might change his mind.
When I go outside, I saw the warriors was roaming around the area. They were checking if there’s still rouges lurking in the area.
That’s good, they shouldn’t let their guards down. Who knows will happen next after the failed ambushed?
“Harper? What are you doing here?” I looked back when I heard Zandea asked me that.
I shook my head and smiled shortly.
“Nothing, I just want to take some fresh air.” I answered and looked around again.
“Oh, right. It’s really stressing what happened earlier.” I nodded. Yeah, she’s right.
“How’s everyone?” I asked her. She let out a sigh and lead on the tree behind her.
“I’m so sad, six of us died and two were badly injured. I feel bad for their families.” She answered sadly.
That’s terrible for them for sure. Losing someone is very h*ard and painful.
“It’s their fate, we don’t have any control with their lives. But we all can do is pray for their souls and help their families to cope up with this disaster.” I tried to comfort her.
She nodded her head.
“Right, that’s all we can do. We can’t bring back their lives.” I actually can, but I can’t do it now and make them alive.
My energy can’t revived five-to-six-person one time. If I did that, it will surely drain my body. Only if I’m already a well trained tribid. But then I remembered, I’m the only tribid in this world.
“One more thing, I have noticed that… one of the rouges earlier saved me.” I stiffened from what she said but I didn’t made it obvious.
I’m the reason why that rouge k*ill*ed his ally, I have commanded him.
“When?” I asked like I didn’t know when and how it happened.
“Earlier.” She replied.
I shrugged and smiled at her.
“is that possible? I mean rouges will never k*ill his or her ally.”
“I don’t know too, but… that’s really strange. I saw his eyes, it’s violet.” Damn, she’s a keen observer.
She looked at me.
“I’m pretty sure that there’s no such a wolf having a violet eye.” She continued.
“Maybe you just saw it wrong?” she shook her head.
“Nah, but anyway, I’ll go ahead now, we will leave again in just a few minutes. You should back too.” She told me.
“Okay, but I’ll go back later.” She nodded her head.
“Alright then,” She bow down her head and then take her leave.
I was left alone in my place, not knowing what should I really wanted to do. Geez. Should I go back in the car now? Nope, later. I looked towards the forest near to my direction.
It’s a dark forest.
“Are you alright?” I almost screamed when someone suddenly talk. I glanced on him, it’s not my mate. It’s Hiro.
Oh, this is the first time he approached me. I smiled shortly and nodded my head.
“Yeah, I’m fine. How about you?” I asked him back.
“Fine.” He answered shortly.
“Do you need something?” I asked him again. I believe he won’t talk to me if he doesn’t have anything to say.
“The king’s wanted you to go back now, queen.” He answered. As what I thought, I nodded.
“Hmm, I got it.”
He bowed his head.
“Alright, should I escort you?” I shook my head.
“Nope, I can manage and beside the car was just over there.” I said and then pointed the car not so far on us.
“Okay then, I should take my leave now.” As he said that he bowed and turned around.
I took a d*eep breath first before starting to go back.
“You called for me?” I asked him while going in.
“Yes, we will leave now.” He answered.
Oh, I nodded and sat properly beside him.
“Are you hungry?”
I glanced at him. He’s looking at me gently with a hint of worriedness in his eyes. He really thinks that I’m a weak human.
I nodded my head, I’m starving.
“I know this will happen so, I prepared something for you to eat.” He said and then bring out a food.
He knew this will happen?
“What I mean is… you’ll be hungry while we are on our way. After eating that, you can go back to sleep.” He said like he just read my thought.
Oh… I take the food he was giving to me.
“Thanks.” I mumbled.
“You’re always welcome.” He replied and then smiled.
What he’s smiling for? I just shrugged and started eating the sandwich.
“How about you? Aren’t you going to eat?” I asked him. He shook his head.
“Nope, I’m still full. Water.” He answered and gave me a bottle of water.
I accept it while still looking at him intently. He’s not hungry? I think it’s time for lunch now.
Nah, that’s what he wanted so… let him be. I shrugged once again and resumed eating.
