The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 70 Second Chance
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Did something good happened? You smile frequently since we came here,” he asked suddenly. We are still grilling the fishes, it’s turning two in the afternoon and yet we still haven’t had our lunch.
I glanced at him, he’s looking at me with curiosity in his eyes. He’s probably upset why I’m acting this way, well, maybe he’s used to see me being grumpy to him. My smiled widened while shrugging my shoulder.
“Why? You don’t want to see me this way? Ah, enjoy this moment until it last.” I replied and chuckled softly. He didn’t say any words, he just kept on looking at me. When he’s over with his inner thoughts, he smiled too.
“You’re not planning something against me, right?” He made sure, I shook my head.
“Nah, am I that bad in your eyes?” I asked and then pouted which made his smile wider. He shakes his head and laugh from my reaction.
“No, damn you look so cute now,” I gave him an amusing smile.
“How cute?”
He stands straight and moved even closer to me. He placed both of his palm on my face and made me look directly in his grey captivating eyes.
“Cute and pretty enough to bewitch me.” he answered. I don’t know if I’ll smile or cringe on what he said e but… damn, did I really bewitched him? Although I’m a witch but it’s not my thing to bewitch someone just to like me.
I slowly removed his hand on my face.
“That’s too much cheesy, just focus on grilling. I’m really hungry,” I told him. He nodded his head, gladness can be seen in his face.
“Okay, my queen.” I just smiled too. I can’t deny the fact that I’m enjoying this moment too. I looked on the fish that we are grilling, almost cooked. Geez, I’m really hungry like a wolf. A few minutes after, and finally we can able to eat our super later lunch.
“I’ll just going to wash my hands,” I informed to him, he looked at me.
“I’ll wash my hands too.”
I just nodded my head and signs him to follow me. We washed our hand on the kitchen sink, after that we head back to the small dining room. While eating our lunch, he mentioned about the marking next week. That shut me up, I still didn’t gave him my answer if I’ll let him mark me.
I am, myself, still didn’t know the answer. I’m confused as well, that’s a big matter that I needed to think carefully. Although, marking is useless when the process of mating isn’t completed. When the two mates completed the process, no one can separate them accept death.
Mostly, in werewolf world, when a man found its mate they will mark each other on their first night, sometimes even making love. If that’s what happened, meaning the say they clicked and accepted their fates to be together for the rest of their lives.
I think that was what happened to Amanda and her husband, Lance. So lucky of them, they loved each other. Sometimes, I can’t help but to envy my best friend’s life, in terms of love life. I mean, look at her now, she’s happy with her loving husband and cute son.
While me?
I don’t know if I’m happy with the life I had. Sometimes I feel loved and cared but sometimes also I feel like he’s just making fun of me. Fooling and making me believe. But I think, I’m just paranoid and overthinking. I shouldn’t think this way, my father always telling me when he’s still alive to be optimistic.
I should be like that. It’s not to late to start over again.
“That’s right, Alizah. Open your heart again, maybe our mate really changed.” My wolf, Reenah commented.
“But, don’t let your guards down. Someone can change quickly, in bad or good way.” My witch also advised. I waited for Venice’s words, I know she’ll say something too. But a seconds later, she didn’t talk.
“Venice?” I called for her attention. It’s quite strange, she’s not talking.
“Hmm? I have nothing to say. The two of them were right, learn to trust again. Anyone deserved a second change, if ever he hurt you. Them make him pay,” She’s still sassy as ever.
“Got it.”
“Harper? Are you alright? If you’re still not ready for the marking next week we can reschedule—” I cut him off.
“No, I’m actually accepting your proposal. I’ve been decided to give you a chance, please don’t waste it.” He blinked twice and not able to say any words. I got him off guard, maybe he didn’t expect that I’ll agree.
“Really?” He asked in disbelief. I nodded my head to confirm that what he heard is right. He suddenly stands up from his seat and approached me. He lifted me up from my chair and hugged me so tight.
“You made me happy today, thank you for giving me a chance…” he whispered in my ear while still embracing me. I tapped his back, I can’t hide my smile anymore.
“Don’t forget this day, the day that I gave you a chance to prove yourself to me. If ever I found out that you’re fooling me, you know what will happen.” I warned him. He pulled himself to the hugged and stared at me.
There’s a big smile on his lips, “Sure my queen. I won’t waste this chance you had given to me.” Good, because if you will, it will be h*arder to gain my trust again. This is his second chance, I hope he won’t really ruin it.
“Let go of me now, I still wanted to eat,” I said amusedly when I noticed that he’s still holding me hand. He quickly removed his gripped on me and smiled widely.
“Sorry, let’s resume eating again.” I just chuckled at hi cute behavior.
“Have a seat, you’re too energetic. Just relax okay?” he went back into his seat.
“Sorry, I’m just happy and I can’t really believe that you actually gave me a chancr to prove myself to you. I mean, I still remember the time you said that you won’t going to trust and love me, as in never.” Haha, he’s talking too much.
“Will you shut up and just eat or I’ll take back what I said?” I threatened him jokingly. He quickly shook his head.
“Don’t do that love, here, eat a lot.” I just shrugged my shoulder and chuckled lowly. Geez, I watched him put a lot of food on my plate. He’s that happy and glad huh? I can’t help but to smile too before I resumed eating.
I hope I won’t regret my decision now too.
