The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 76 Happy
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Alizah? Is that you?” I looked around me when I heard a familiar voice bloomed behind me. My brow slightly furrowed, I blinked when I recognized her.
“Mindy.” She smiled widely when she heard me acknowledge her.
“It’s really you, I didn’t saw you for how many weeks. How are you?” she asked me as she embrace me. I hugged her back.
“I’ve been busy that’s why, and I’m just fine.” I answered. She pulled out from the hug while smiling.
“Good to hear, and I’m good too.” She glanced at Amanda and Zandea.
“Ah, this is Zandea,” I pointed her, Zandy waved her hand on her and gave her a smile. “And this is Amanda, my best friend.” Amanda waved too.
“Oh, the one you’re telling to me. Hello, I’m Mindy, her friend and co-worker before.” She introduced herself.
“My cousin’s mate. I’m glad to meet you Mindy,” the smile on her face slowly faded.
“You’re a werewolf princess?” She said in shock. Zandea awkwardly smile, “Not the crowned princess but still a princess though.”
“Oh, greetings your highness.” She was about to bow her head but Zandea stopped her.
“Don’t. I’m not used to it. So, just chill and actually I’m friendly. You can call me by my name, call me Zandea or Zandy for short.” Mindy smiled.
“Sure, anyway harper. You’re a werewolf too? How come I didn’t feel it?” I’m the one who’s supposed to be asking her that. But nah, Zandea and her still thought that I’m a human.
“No, I’m not.” I denied. I saw Amanda looked at me, she’s completely aware why I’m lying now.
“Ah, I thought you are since you’re with them. Two werewolves with powerful aura.” That’s indeed questionable, but she won’t ask only if she know.
“Actually, she’s the king’s mate.” Zandea mumbled. Mindy looked again on me, her eyes widened as her mouth left hang.
“The Alpha King’s mate? The queen of werewolves?” Ah, ah.
“Lower down your voice, Min. We are in the crowded place, someone might hear you. They didn’t know that werewolf existed.” I calmly hushed her. She mumbled sorry and sigh.
“I’m just shock.”
“Am I too, I didn’t expect that you’re actually a werewolf and the crowned prince’s mate.” She fell silent upon hearing my statement. I think she remembered what happened yesterday, and I’m pretty sure, It’s hurting and k*ill*ing her slowly and painfully.
Her mate rejected her without any valid reason. So dumb of Sebastian.
“Correction, ex mate. He rejected me yesterday,” She said sadly but there’s a glint of anger in her voice.
“I know you won’t believe if I’ll say that he’s regretting what he did yesterday. I understand if you won’t forgive him, nor don’t want to see him again but, as his cousin, I’m personally asking for your forgiveness in his behalf. He can be so rude, annoying and cold hearted but he’s kind. Think carefully Min, we, the werewolf has one mate.” That makes me think too.
How about me? I’m a tribrid, I’m not fully a werewolf. Does that mean I have more mates? Geez, just thinking of it is k*ill*ing me. I don’t want a complicated life. One mate is enough, but it would be better if I don’t have. But I guess, the moon goddess has another plan for me.
“He hurt me, he didn’t took a chance to get to know me well. My wolf is in pain now, she’s crying and won’t even talk to me. I don’t know if I can bear to see him again. I mean, he’s not even making any move to ask for my forgiveness. So, I assumed, he doesn’t want me to be his mate. And if that’s what he wanted, I’ll accept it even it hurts.” That’s so kind and considerate of her.
Zandea took her hand and smile.
“Believe me, he wanted you. He’s just crazy sometimes. I know one of these days, he’ll come to you.” Mindy smiled too.
“I hope so. Tell to him, it’s not too late to fix what he broken. I’m not that cruel and stone-hearted not to give a chance.” Damn, that hits me. I’m too stone-hearted not to give my own mate a chance easily. But I thought too, we are on different situation and I’m not kind as her.
“That’s good to hear, thank you Mindy.” Zandea said with grateful in her voice.
“By the way, I should get going now. My break is almost over, I need to go back to work.” Mindy said to us.
“Sure, work easy.” Mindy nodded her head before she turned her back on us.
“She’s one of the kinds, argh, I hate my cousins. All of them were so dumb for rejecting you guys at first meet. Geez, this is giving me a headache.” Zandea complained. I greed with her.
“But then, they should be thankful because they’ve got some kind and understanding mates. Lucky bastards eh?” I let out a soft chuckle, she’s stressed just thinking about her cousins.
“By the way, these tickets will be useless if we won’t use. Let’s go inside the haunted house?” I let them remember.
“Oh, right. Come on,” We entered to the door of the haunted house. I might say, I’m impressed. The design of the house is so scary and really spooky. At the entrance, Zandea screamed because a head suddenly showed up. That’s definitely unexpected, geez.
“That’s terrifying, god! They were great.” She commented when she’s over with it. Right, whoever make this house, I’ll gave them a round of applause.
We go roamed around the place, entering to different room. And every different room there will be a persons will scare us. Some parts aren’t scary but some part is giving me goosebumps. The actress was talented in scaring.
If we are normal, a human, we’re probably crying in fear now. But unfortunately, we’re not. As soon we got out the house, we looked into each other and then burst into laughter. This one is enjoyable but scary as hell.
“I almost faint when a bunch of zombies come chasing after us. There were so realistic in the way that I thought we are in a movie haha.” Zandea stated while laughing h*ard.
“Yeah, you’re right. I’m glad I don’t have heart disease because I have, I might die in fear.” Am agreed and laughed with her. I just smiled.
“How about you, Harp? What can you say about that place?”
“Great and spook but some parts aren’t realistic at all. But overall, I can say that they did a great job to provide a good and better scary experience.” I honestly said. They nodded as an agreement.
“True. But it’s enjoyable right.” I nodded.
“We should have a rest then we will go at the Ferris Wheel as our last destination here.”
“Are we leaving after that?” Amanda asked me.
“Yes, because we will go to somewhere else.” I answered which made them smiled wider.
“Where?” Zandea asked.
“In the police station, I’ll file a complained against the two of you.” I answered jokingly. Zandea playfully punched my shoulder.
“Haha, that’s so silly of you.” I smiled widely too.
“Just kidding, we will go to have some food trip. I’m hungry again.” They agreed on what I said.
We walked towards a bench and sat there. While resting, I’m observing the place. Most of the people around were human, but some aren’t. I can sense werewolf, witches and vampire here. I just can’t pinpoint whom are they.
After a few minutes, we decided to go and try the Ferris Wheel. We are on the line since there’s a lot of people who wanted to try the ride also. A few minutes later, we get out tickets.
“Anyway, Harper. About the coronation next week. Are you ready?” Zandea asked me. I shook my head, “Honestly not, but I’ll be fine.”
“That is too sudden but a great news to all of us. Don’t worry, the whole kingdom will love you.” She reassured me.
“I hope so.”
“I’m so glad that you accepted him in your life Harper. I never seen him happy when you were with him. Since his mother and sister died, he became grumpy and really short-tempered man.” I’m completely aware to that part.
He’s rude, annoying and cold-hearted man, but that was before. Now he changed, for the better I think?
“What changed your mind and you accepted him?” Amanda asked me. I don’t know too, maybe I got hit by his world that I need to let go all the pain in my heart, learn to love and trust again.
I shouldn’t prevent myself from being happy, which is true and must. Living in the dark is h*ard, but being stocked and can’t get out there is h*arder. His words became my ladder to get out of that darkness.
“He deserves a second chance, this is our second chance. I’m willing to take a risk, I just hope that he won’t ruin it.” I answered honestly.
“I’m delighted to hear that from you, harper. I know you since we are a child, and it’s really h*ard for you to trust after all the things you’ve been experience.” Amanda held my hand and smiled.
“Oh wait, did I missed something? Why it’s h*ard for you to trust?” Zandea asked me curiously. I smiled at her.
“Let just say my past isn’t great. It’s h*ard and put me in the dark. Guilt, anger and sadness drowned me.” I said meaningfully. She might get confused by what I said, but I know she’ll understand me.
“I guess, you’ve got some tough past.” I just nodded my head.
“Yes, she got.” Amanda confirmed. I took a d*eep breath and switched my gaze on the window. We are getting up now, and I’m starting to see the view of the entire place. It’s beautiful and peaceful. I wish I can be like this forever, no problem at all.
But I know, I got this life full of chaos, pain and secrets. Peace isn’t written in my life’s vocabulary. How pity.
“The scenery was beautiful,” Zandea whispered, just enough for us to hear.
“You’re right, this place is too different from ours.” Amanda agreed. They view Human and werewolf world different. But actually, it’s the same. Human nor werewolf world is chaotic, full of harm and danger.
But in different ways. Werewolf is more aggressive than human, human is naïve and weak. They were nothing against werewolves. That’s why werewolf and human aren’t sticked together, they need their own place to stay at. To be more comfortable and of course to avoid wars.
I let out a sigh and rested my head on Amanda’s shoulder while staring at the view.
“Are you okay, harper?” I heard her asked me.
“Yeah, fine. I’m actually enjoying the moment.” I answered.
“Oh, I see.” After she said that. No one talk, we just watched the scenery. The sun is almost setting down, I just noticed that we stayed here for how many hours.
A few more minutes, the ride is over. And the outside is getting darker, a sign that the sun was slowly placing by the moon.
“Let’s go for night shopping?” Zandea invited us. I nodded my head and smiled.
“Let’s go.” We spend three hours in shopping and eating a lot of foods. Geez I’m so full while we are walking back to Zandea’s car. We put the paper bags that we are holding in the trunk of the car and then go back to the territory.
Exactly nine o’clock in the evening, we reached the palace, unharmed and safe.
“I enjoyed this day, thanks.” I thanked the two of them, they gave me a warm smile.
“Me too,”
“Of course, I enjoyed this day too.” They commented.
“See you tomorrow, I’ll get going now and have a rest.” Amanda was the first one who said her farewell. Yeah, she needed to have a rest now, she’s pregnant.
“Sure. Bye Am.” Zandea answered.
“I should get going too, see you two later.” I smiled widely and k*issed their cheeks before I go.
