The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 114 (Harper Alizah Grace’s POV)
One week had been passed, I’m not still okay because of what happed last week. Pain was still in my heart, asking myself what did I do wrong? I asked forgiveness already but he still leave me. I let out a sigh, why I’m thinking about that again?
I rolled my eyes and continue reading the magazine I’m holding. The news of the wedding spread like a wild fire huh. Three days ago, my brother already proposed to Samantha. They wanted that before he claim her, completely, they will get marry first.
Old fashioned couple, I’m not being bitter here. I’m happy for them actually, at least they don’t have a sad a miserable love story like mine. The date of the wedding was set two days from now, they weren’t rushing everything right? I thought sarcastically.
“Harper, can you suggest what’s better to be our wedding’s theme, Red and gold or white and jasmine?” I heard Samantha asked me. I put down the magazine and look at her, “Choose white and Jasmine. That’s better than Red and gold,” I answered. If I will be the one who will get marry, I’ll probably choose red but since it was their wedding, jasmine is the best choice.
Samantha look good on Jasmine color. “Okay, white and jasmine then. How about the wedding dress?” I raised an eyebrow. “Am I the one who will get marry? Chill, Samantha. You’ll be the one who will choose your own gown, I’m not really good in fashion.” She nodded.
“Right. Just this last, Will you be my maid in honor?” Do I have any choice? Of course, I’ll be the one who will be her maid of honor.
“Sure.” I replied. She smiled widely, “That’s great. I have to go now, I still have a lot of things to take care of.” She gave me a hug then left.
I stared at her, weird. Is that the effect of their incoming wedding? I murmured. Shaking my head, I reach out the magazine I was reading on the table and read again.
“Harper?” I look up again when someone called my name again. Why are they bothering me? I saw my brother walking towards my direction.
“Yes?” I asked while raising an eyebrow. “Did you saw Samantha?” He asked. Do I look like a navigator? But yah, since I saw her, I’ll answer his question. “Yes, she’s here a while ago, the truth is., she just left. and… ummm, she went there.” I pointed the right path.
He nodded his head, “I see. Thanks.” he thanked me and leave. That a weirdo’s, they have a plenty of time to prepare their wedding but they wanted to push it through on
Wednesday. I took a deep breath and leaned back on my chair. I don’t want to read anymore, they will just going to interrupt me.
“Miss Harper?” Who is it this time? I look on my left side, I saw Fiona.
“Yes?” She walked closer to me and hand me a letter.
“Someone left that on the mail box, it was named after you so it’s yours.” She answered. I took carefully the letter in her hand, the receiver was me indeed. “Thanks, Fiona.” I thanked her. She smile and nodded her head. “No worries. I will go now,” She bowed before leaving. As soon she left, I stood up and walk towards the terrace. I brow furrowed when there’s no sender again. The hand written is not familiar to me, who send this letter then?
Out of curiosity, I open it and read silently. My face quickly became serious when I read the first sentence. “I told you, it’s not really you whom he love.” By that, I already know who send this. It’s Keriza, oww, so sweet of her, she even bother to send me a letter.
“she’s really something else.” I whispered as I continue to read the message. “You really believe him that he love you? how pathetic you are. haha. Look at you now, he leave you behind like the way you did. Does it hurt? You taste your own medicine, bitch. By the way, we are in good terms now.” There’s a photo attached on the letter, there I saw her and Zach happy together. My face crumble, that’s cringe.
A smirk form into my l*ips, she wrote this useless message? damn, she’s more pathetic than I thought. I burn the paper and let out a sigh, the hell I care with them. Leaving out more sigh, I get inside to palace and walk towards my room.
Speaking of letter, I also need to write my best friend one. Even if I don’t want to be in close contact with the werewolves now, I can’t abandon my best friend there, if possible, I still need to update her.
After writing, I called for a bird who will deliver to her. Seeing the bird leave, I turn my back and went on the bed. I feel like I wanted to sleep but I can’t. Geez, I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh.
“Nothing last forever.” I whispered.
Three days later, this is the day Samantha and my brother waiting for. Everyone is invited to witness their wedding but only some were invited on the wedding night. If possible, they wanted to make it private. Private my a*ss, the crown prince were just getting married and they wanted to keep it private? they were just kidding to themselves.
I look on myself on the mirror, I look gorgeous in white. But I’m more gorgeous in red. I grinned, “You got an awesome face, harper.” I praised myself. Damn, I’m even talking to myself now. I look on the doorway when someone knock to get my attention.
“Harper? Are you ready now? The ceremony will about to start,” it’s Wilson who talked. He’s the best man of the prince. I nodded my head, “yes, I am. Let’s go,” He nodded and walk closer, he help me to carry my dress, my heel is too high but I can still manage it though.
“Did I say that you look gorgeous already?” he asked me while we are walking in the hallway. I chuckled, I found him annoying at first but when the night he shared something about his life to me, something changes.
“Yes you did. Before and now,” I answered and sneer. I look on his outfit, he’s wearing Jasmine tuxedo, “You don’t look bad either.” I praised him. He chuckled, “No need to flatter me because I already new that.” Boys and their confidents. I just shook my head, “Right.”
“I’ll go and look for the groom,” he said to me.
I nodded, “Okay.” I look around the place, I saw a lots of persons. Then I spotted Samantha, she was talking to her mother and father. They seems so emotional, they were crying. I walked towards their direction,
“Don’t cry my daughter, you will ruin your make up. Honey stop making her cry.” I heard her mother said to her daughter and husband.
“I can’t help it, she’s so beautiful today.” Her father still said. Samantha playfully punched her father’s arm, “Just today dad? I’m always beautiful.” She joked. Her father chuckled, “Of course not, you are beautiful as always and forever because your our daughter.” That’s so sweet of them.
I faked a cough to catch their attention, the three of them look on me. “Umm Mom, dad this is Harper. The prince half-sister and also my friend.” She introduced me. harper, this is my parents.” I nodded and smile.
“The prince half-sister, I just hear that now but I’m please to meet you Harper. You’re so pretty,” Her mother said causing me to smile widely. “Thank you, you’re undeniably beautiful too.” I praised her back.
“Small things haha.” Now I know where Samantha got her personality, it was from her parents. “My daughter, we roam around for the mean time.” He mother said goodbye. “Alright mom and dad.” She answer back then look at me.
“Anyway Harper, do you need something?” she asked me. I shook my head, “Nothing, but Wil said to me that the event will start a few minutes by now so be ready.” I informed her.
She nodded and took a deep breath.
“Are you nervous?” I asked her.
“Yes, I am. I’m just marrying the crowned prince at all, after this I will be the his princess.” I shook my head.
“Don’t get nervous, everything will go as what you planned to happen, Sam. And no, you’re not just going to be a princess but also his wife.” She nodded, “Right. But you can’t blame me though, this is just wonderful, it making me very excited.” I nodded in understanding, I know what she feels.
“Congratulations then? I’m happy for the both of you.” She hugged me and whispered thank you.
Just like what Wilson said, in just five minutes, the ceremony started. I watched them exchange their vows and promises.
“And may you now k*iss the bride.”
Everyone around the place cheer for the both of them, yelling the words long live the newly weds. I clapped my hand when I saw them k*issed. I can’t help but to get jealous, I wish I had something like this with the person I love but it’s impossible now.
He hated me and I hated him too.
“May I have a dance with you, my lady?” The wedding ceremony has ended a few hours ago, and now it’s the celebration time. I stared on Wilson’s hand then to him, I grinned, “Why would I dance with you?” I asked with amusement in my voice.
He smirked, “Because I’m handsome?” I laughed.
“You too full to yourself, but okay.” I accept his hand as I stand up. I’m wearing the white gown I wore a while ago, instead, I’m wearing white backless fitted dress down to my toes.
“You’re surely different from other girl. Your mate wasted someone like you,” I smirked. “I’m thinking the same, you mate wasted someone like you.” I almost mimicked his voice. He laughed, “Yeah, she wasted to chance to have a handsome man like me.” Damn, what with him haha. I just shook my head as I laugh.
“Can I ask something, Harper?” He asked me. “You’re already asking.” he chuckled, “Aside from this one, can I ask you something?” He repeated.
“Sure, ask right away.” His expression slightly became serious.
“Do you hate him?” He asked. “Who? my mate?” He nodded. “Yes.” I answered without thinking twice. Just like what I said before, I had enough. I’m not with myself anymore. I’m not the type of person who will chase someone because of love.
I chase him once, and once is enough. I don’t want to get hurt because of that bullshit love, “yes?” He asked me.
I nodded, “Yes, I hate him.” I confirmed. “You hate him that much in the way that you don’t even think twice to answer yes. Haha, impressive. Such a straight forward woman.” I just smirked.
I saw him was about to talk but his eyes flicker from brown to light green. “I don’t want to end our dance here, but I need to go now.” I look at him curiously. “Why? what happened?” He shook his head. “Don’t mind it, we can take care of it.
Just stay here and enjoy.” I gave him a warning look. “Wilson, what’s happening?” I asked him seriously. Don’t let me use my ability just to know what the heck is happening.
“You don’t reall–” I raised an eyebrow.
“You will tell or I will know it by my own?” I asked, he let out a sigh and give up.
“Alright, the werewolves launch an attack. One of the village outskirt the city got terrorized, the villagers is in danger, they planned to assassinate and burn them all alive.” He’s making a move now, he’s really starting a war.
But wait, village outskirt the city? there were just three, on the west, east and south. “Which one?” I asked. I’m starting to panic now, I hope it’s not what I’m thinking, no, that village was precious to me.
“Which one?” he asked. “I mean which village?” I asked seriously. “The village on the south.” He answered. I almost lost my balance because of what I heard. Damn, I was right. “Let’s go there,” I was about to go but he stopped me.
“It’s dangerous, let us do the work. Stay here,” I glared at him. “That village is my home, the villager were important to me and now you’re telling me to stay here?” I pulled my hand on his grip, “No I will go there with or without you.”
“Okay, slow down. You’ll go there with me.” I stopped walking and look back.
“What are you still standing up there then? Come on!” he nodded and followed me. While we are on the way I couldn’t help but to wonder why they launch an attack? We are not doing anything bad to them.
I guess, they were just a bunch of thought?” he asked me to break the silence. “I’m thinking how to kill you if you won’t shut up.” I answered sassily. he laughed at my response, what’s funny?
“Chill, I’m not your enemy here. But what you will going to do there?” He asked me. I glared at him, “I already plan how to murder you so you better shut your mouth up.” I still warned. “Calm down will you? I’m just making the mood light, you’re too tense.” I raised an eyebrow. “It is because you, you’re too loud.” He chuckled.
“Alright, I’ll shut up now.” he amusedly replied. I just rolled my eyes, I’m thinking here and he’s destroying my focuses.
“I forgot the way going there,” I heard him whispered. Dumb, “Turn right then straight.” I answered, he looked at me, “Thank you.”
“Welcome.” I answered shorty. “Moody.” He whispered again but I choose to ignore it. A few minutes later, we reached the Village. He was right, I saw a lot of werewolf warriors roaming around the place, especially on the entrance.
“I’ll go inside.” I said. “No, it’s too dangerous.” I gave him a look. “You can’t stop me.” He let out a sigh and let go off my hand. “I see, I can’t go with you inside.” I nodded in understanding.
“No worries, if this village will be burn into ashes, does that mean I died.” I stated the possibilities. “This time, I’ll do what I can do, but I won’t let him destroy this place.” I continued. He nodded, “Okay, have a luck Harper.”
“Thank you. Call for back up, this might cause a huge fight.” I said before going out the car. Some of the werewolf guard look on my direction, they didn’t say any word or even stop me, they just let me in.
What was that? Very suspicious. I continue to walk until I reach the place where all of the villagers located at. They were in front of the elder’s house. I see the three elders kneeling down on the ground. What? How cruel of him. Damn him.
“What do you think you are doing?” I asked venomously, causing them all to look at my direction. My fist turned into white as I look at him, damn, really damn, only if I can strangle him now, I would.
“Well, look who’s here.” He said coldly. Well look who’s here, I mimicked his voice in my mind.
“Why are you doing this? Leave them alone, you brut!” He smirked and sign the warriors behind him something. The three warriors march towards my direction, two of them hold my hand one the other one stop in front of me.
“You need to go with you, you are under arrest.” What the heck? is this a kind of joke to them?
“Wait, why I am under arrest. In the first place, he is not my king.” No one is actually my king, not even my step-brother.
“Seems like you forgot, you’re the crown queen of werewolf, meaning to say, you are under my reign.” I blinked, He’s impossible.
“Take her inside, I wanted to talk to her.” He sign his men to drag me.
“No need to drag me, I can go there with my own.” they let go off my hand. Taking a deep breath, I walk toward his direction.
“Before I’ll talk to you, let the elder’s sit down properly, they were old enough to get punish like that. Have mercy,” I said bravely. He stared at me for a few second then later he nodded, “Okay.”
“Get inside.” I nodded too and obeyed him. I was about to sit down on the chair but he stopped me, “Don’t, stay standing.” Calm down, harper, Calm down. I watch him sat down the table while still looking at me.
“Why did you left me that day?” He asked me. I look at him in confusion, what? I leave him that day? Is he f*uc*king kidding me? I raised an eyebrow, “Am I supposedly the one who’s asking you that? Your majesty?” I questioned back.
His brow furrowed in confusion as well, “Don’t reverse the situation, Harper.” He said seriously. I laughed sarcastically, “I’m not reversing anything, you’re the one who leave me alone in the camp site.”
“Are you just making up stories? It’s you who leave again.” What is he talking about?
“No, it’s you, you even wrote a damn letter!”
“What letter?” he asked. He don’t know? or he’s just acting innocent?
“Don’t give me that shit, Zach, I know what I see that day. You said in the letter that you don’t love me, that you use me.” I said empathically.
He went silent then a few seconds later he talked, “That’s not what happed. After Lance and I go back, you were no where to be seen. I asked the warrior if they see you, they said that you leave. That you leave me again.” What? that’s bullshit, I’m in the camp site all day.
“No, you leave…”
“You did…”
We stared into each other’s eyes, then damn, realization hits us. We got played, but with whom?….
“Keriza.” We both said.
“Is she the one who told you that I left?” I asked him. He nodded his head, “Yes, but I don’t believe her at first, I know that she will just going to lie about it, but damn I got it fooled by her.” He answered.
Me too. I believe that the letter I read was written by him, it turns out that bitch is the one who really wrote it. “It seems like we made a mistake again.” He murmured. Yeah, looks
like. I saw him walk closer to me,” But it’s my fault because I believe their lies. It’s me who reacted wrong, when the moment that I found out you left, I rush home quickly.” I don’t understand, why would he leave? “I really thought you leave me. I can’t bare the thought of you leaving me alone forever.” I stared at him. “I love you so much…” He said and hug me.
But then my eyes widened when a sharp matter was buried behind me. Did he?… Did he just stabbed me from behind?
“But not really.” He devilishly said.
I wake up in the middle of the catching my own breath. That was just a dream, I look around my room, I saw the gown that I will wear today. The wedding still not happening. I get off my bed and drink a glass of water.
The dream, it feels so real, but it’s not. Calm down Harper, it was just a dream. He’s not here, he didn’t attack the village and he didn’t kill you. I told to myself. But sadly, what happened a few days ago was real, he really leave you.
I took a deep breath and smile sadly. Looking on the wall clock, I see that it still three in the morning. I stood up and went closer the window. The cold air quickly t*ouch my skin as I opened the window. It’s so cold, I remember before I was still at the werewolf kingdom.
Everytime I think I like this, he always hug me on my back and telling everything will be alright. I believe on his voice, I found warm and love under his car. But now, it’s just a lie, everything between us was lie.
Letting out another sigh, I closed the door and went out my room. I saw a lot of persons who’s already awake, this is a busy day for everyone. I went outside the palace and go straight to the woods.
I will have a run to calm down myself completely. That dream of mine is making my knees tremble. Is he really can kill me? Because me, even if I hate him so much, I can’t kill him. I just can’t. He’s the only person I loved, my first love.
I couldn’t help but to remember the past as I’m running inside the forest. He rejected me yet manage to reclaim me. I’m too brave before to
say that I’m the woman who will never going to love him but I just did.
I fall into him so h*ard, in the way that I can’t fall out love easily. It’s so h*ard to admit that until now I still love him. I still do.
