The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 106 (Harper Alizah Grace’s POV)
A few minutes of staring at her, the time changes. It’s started chaotic, all I hear is shout coming from my parent. The werewolf king will come over later to tell his decision.
This will be surely even painful for my father. “You can do this to me, Duncan. Alizah is my daughter too, I can’t leave her.” My father glared at her.
“But you abandoned your first child? I can’t be a selfish like you, Selene. Your son needs you too, you have a husband who’s looking for you for so man years. I don’t want any mess but you gave me one!” He yelled.
He was blinded my anger now, he hated her for what she did. He dragged him and the whole pack into danger and also, she made my dad live into the darkness full of life.
“I know, I know I was wrong but I just can’t. She’s my daughter too, our daughter. So please, don’t make me leave, don’t separate us. I wanted to see her grow, I want to…” My dad cuts her off.
“We both know it’s not possible anymore. Just what I’m telling you, I wanted you to stay but the decision is not mine. You’re a hybrid, a vampire and a witch. We can’t be together,” he said seriously but pain can be heard in his voice.
“Damn with that, we all the same here. We can love who ever we wanted to, and I choose to be with you.” My father shook his head.
“No, even if you choose me, us. This is a mistake that we need to correct. A forbidden love the we need to end,” His voice were too low, this hard for him. He look at her, “I’m begging, Selene. Just go, don’t worry about our daughter. She’s good in my care.”
“Don’t say that, I’m still not leaving…” He cut her off.
“I’m not making you leave because I wanted to, but you needed too. Go back to your first family. They need you more than us, your son needs you.”
“But our daughter needs me too.”
“She won’t later. She don’t have a liar kind of mother,” I saw pain in her expression.
“Duncan, please.”
“No, Selene. That’s all I can do, I don’t want to hurt you so please leave.” I bit my inner lip, so this is what happened? My father made her leave, my father wanted to protect me from more pain and danger caused by their forbidden love.
“Is that what you really want?” She asked him, even it hurts, he nodded. Slowly she nodded too, “Alright, I’ll leave but can I ask one favor, just this one.”
“Say it.”
“Will you tell that you love me?” She asked with hope. He stared at her, “Yes, I loved you.” I couldn’t help but to pity her. Loved her, past tense. She smiled sadly and quietly let out small sob, she’s clearly in pain.
“I get it, I’m sorry for hurting you. Okay, I’ll leave, but can I talk to my daughter?” His face harden but nodded.
“Sure, but she’s asleep now, I’m afraid you can’t talk to her. Just leave a letter then, and I will be willing to read it for her.”
“Duncan…”
“She’s really asleep, write a letter or I will be the one who will explain it to her later.” She can’t do anything but to wrote a letter.
“Can I see her for the last time?” he just nodded.
The place changes, we are inside my old room in pack house. She slowly walked closer to my bed, my young version is indeed sleeping. She caress my chicks and kissed my forehead.
“I love you honey, I’m so sorry if you will wake up later I’m not in your side anymore. This is hard for me, but I can’t do anything but to leave. You will hate me for doing this, but I hope you’ll forgive me later. Your father will take care of you, I know he will.” She said while wiping the tears streaming down to her cheeks.
“If I’ll be given the chance to make it up to you in the future, I will. I’m really sorry.” With that, she kissed her forehead again and hug her.
She carefully stand up from the bed and look to my father who’s standing on the doorway while waiting for her. “I wanted you to know too, I really love you, but I can’t force you to make me stay. You’re willing to let me go, then I’m letting you go too.” She told to him. “I know, maybe this love is not really for us.” She nodded.
“Can… can I hug you for the last time?” Thinking deeply, he nodded. As she saw that, she pulled him into a tight hug.
“Thank you.” and the setting changes again. This time, we are near at the boarder of the pack territory. My father watched her leaving the pack, I closed my fist tightly. I was asleep when the time she leave.
“Goodbye, Duncan. Till we see each other again.” As she said that, her face slowly became clear. I couldn’t believe what I see, what? she…
Before I couldn’t react even more, the huge force pulled me back into the reality. I was catching my breath when the flashback ended. That’s what happened in the past… and the woman I just meet a while ago is my mother.
I quickly opened my eyes when I remember that. I look around to notice that I’m not on the sofa anymore instead on a queen sized bed. “I see, you’re awake now.” I immediately looked n the doorway, there she is. I’m not really dreaming, this is not just an illusion.
My expression harden and get of the bed.
“I need to leave now.” I said firmly. A sad smile formed in her lips. “You already knew about me, don’t you?” I didn’t talk, I’m upset, angry and so lost. I don’t know what to believe to right now.
“You can hate me all you want, but just let me talk.” I bit my inner lip, I don’t know if I can let her talk to me after all the things I know.
But… there’s one thing I wanted to know, to confirm.
“Let me ask you one thing,” she nodded her head.
“Go ahead.”
“Are you my mother?” she was about to come closer to me but I raise my one hand to stop her.
“No need to come closer, just answer my question.” I told her. She slowly nodded her head,
“Yes, you are my daughter.” I shook my head.
“No, I’m my father’s daughter.” I said causing her to look at me with pain in her eyes.
“Daughter…”
“No, you don’t have the right to call me that. I’m a Larkspur, I’m my father’s daughter.” I’m angry, but not just to her but to everything. Why everything turned out to be like this? Why it’s getting complicate time by time?
“Just let me explain—” I cut her off.
“Save that for another day.”
As I said that, I vanished right in front of her. When I’m away, tears escape from my eyes. Damn, I didn’t expect that I will met her today. The mother I dreamed to have when I was a child.
For too many years I yearned for her affection, the care that a mother only can give. But now that I saw her, it’s different, very different. Like I can’t even stand to have a few minute with her.
Yes, it’s not her decision to leave me, us behind. But why she don’t look for me when I lose everything including my father whom she said she loved? Why? I wipe the tear and calm down myself.
I don’t want to think about it, not now. Taking a deep breath, I look around to see where I am. This is tangerine’s farm.
“Harper! You’re just here! We’ve been looking for you for two hours now!” I look where the voice coming from. And there, I saw Samantha, Troy and Uriel.
They were walking towards my direction.
“For two hours?” I asked them in confusion. That long? I just witness those events for a few minutes. “Yeah, we are so worry and think that something bad happened to you.” Samantha replied.
“Sorry for making you worry, maybe I just got lost the sense of time,” I apologized.
“Just fine, but don’t do this again okay?” I just nodded and look on Troy. His mother is also here, what would he say if ever he will know that she’s here? Is he mad at her?
“Harper!” I averted my gaze at him when I heard Uriel talk.
“Yes dear?” I asked him with a grin. He walk closer to me and took my hand. “Can you come with me?” He asked. My brow furrowed, “Why? and to where?” He look on Sam and Troy.
“They were so cringe, they were so sweet around me, it’s disgusting.” He said that causing me to laugh.
“Nope, they just love each other that much haha. Anyway, of course I can come with you but to where?” H smile widely.
“Anywhere, but away to them.” He said and grinned. I just chuckled and look on the two’s direction. Troy were glaring at him, while Sam pouted.
“You don’t want to be with us?” Samantha asked dramatically and acted like she was hurt.
“I want to, but I can’t stand you and uncle Troy’s sweetness.” Haha, such a bitter guy.
“Alright bitter boy, let’s go now? Let them enjoy themselves,” I said and grin to them. Samantha narrow down her eyes on me but I just smirked. “Let’s go!”
