The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Prologue + Chapter 01: The Rejection
Prologue
“Pardon me for disturbing you your highness but I have something very important to tell to you.” A royal guard kneel in front of his throne.
The king looks at him while still kissing the neck of the woman he was with right now.
He sign him to stand up and talk.
“We found her.” The king immediately stop from what he is doing and seriously looked at him.
“Continue.” He ordered, seriously.
The royal guard bow his head before start talking again.
“We found her in the middle of the forest inside the territory roaming around. It looks like she’s picking some herbal medicines.” He answered.
“How come I didn’t feel her?” He asked to himself.
“Remember you rejected her, a*ss*hole.” His wolf replied angrily. His face darkened, he really had a h*ard time to tame his wolf.
“Shut up!” He hissed to his wolf.
“Yeah whatever.” His wolf lifelessly replied.
“We decided to approach her but before we can reach her destination she look to us and started running afterwards. We chase her but she’s too fast for a human and then we lost her.” The royal guard continued.
His fist turned into a ball. He can’t believe that he didn’t even feel her inside his territory. His warriors found her but she escaped?
“When this thing happened?!” He angrily asked him.
“Just a few minutes ago your highness.” His jaw clenched and his grip tightened to the girl in his lap.
“Find her now and bring her to me!” He ordered.
They quickly nodded their heads.
“Yes your highness.” They bowed first before going out to the throne room.
He let go of the woman in his arm.
“Leave now and don’t come back.” The lady quickly leave because of fear.
A mad Alpha is already scary, how much more if the Alpha King is the one who is angry? That would be indeed fearful and scary.
Chapter 01 The Rejection
Her Point of View
5 years ago
I was laying down on my bed while reading my favourite book, Pride and Prejudice, when Amanda, my best friend, interrupted me from reading.
“Come one Harper, get your a*ss off to your bed and prepare!” She energetically exclaimed to me. Geez, she’s too loud and alive.
“I’m not coming Amanda.” I simply replied without even looking at her.
“Argh seriously Harp? You’ve got to be kidding me, tonight will be remarkable day because it’s the ceremony of the next king! Did you heard me? The coronation of the new werewolf king!” She literally yelled at my face.
I stop reading my book and look at her carefully.
“Stop yelling Amanda, look, it’s not necessary for me to attend that ceremony and you know the reason well Am,” I calmly said to her.
“Look also Harper Alizah Grace Larkspur, get your lazy a*ss to the bed now because you’re coming with me to that ball tonight, and it will exactly start 3 hours from now.” She seriously commanded to me
I can’t help but to smile, I found it so funny when I saw her so serious like this.
“Okay fine,” I answered while closing my book and carefully put it back on my bookshelf.
She clapped her hand twice and smiled so widely.
“Alright then, come on.” She happily said and wink at me. Here we go again, I groaned silently and glared at her.
This would be tiring, geez, why am I agreed to her again? I walk outside my room and followed her.
When we arrived there, I saw a blue backless gown. I immediately look at her. She’s grinning at me, it looks like she’s planning something not so good.
“I will definitely not going to wear that s*hit.”
“Well, watch me.”
We argued for a few minutes but later on she made me wore that damn gown.
“Argh I hate you now Amanda!” I complained and gave her a death glare. But she just smirked at me.
“Oh please, don’t hate me. You look smoking hot babe,”
I frowned but still glaring at her.
“Hurry up, you’re not done yet. Do your make up. I’ll be back later.” She hurriedly said and go to her bathroom. But before she completely got in, she winked at me again which I just cringed.
What’s wrong with her?
I just did my make up while waiting for her. After a few minutes she walked out, wearing a strapless green high cut slit gown.
I raised my one eyebrow at her.
“What do you think Harp? Do I look smoking hot like you?” She playfully asked me.
This time I smirked at her, time for her to pay back.
“Not even a bit.” I teased her.
“You’re so mean,” she said dramatically and frowned.
I chuckled softly.
“Nah I’m just kidding, you look great.”
“Just great?”
“Yeah what else?” I continue to tease her.
Amanda is a super pretty girl, she had a ginger red hair, dark green eyes and really tall. She would be a super model.
“No smoking hot?” I chuckled again.
“Haha yes you look smoking hot, and I know that you know that so it’s no need for me to tell.”
“Haha, I thought so, you won’t let me down that’s why were friends.”
She sat on the chair besides me and we look ourselves to the mirror.
“Do you think I’ll find my mate tonight?” She asked me so I looked at her.
“You know, I’m dying to meet him. It’s been two years already since I turned 18 but until now…” She stop and sigh.
“Until now, I can’t still find him,” she paused again and faced me.
“I’m really thinking now that I don’t have mate.” She continued.
I hold her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
“Stop thinking about it drama queen, you have your mate , maybe you just need to wait for the right time. I know you’ll find him soon so don’t lose hope.” She smiled from what I said and loosen up a bit.
“Do you really think I’ll find him?” I nodded my head.
“Alright, you’re right I shouldn’t lose hope and be optimistic. And speaking of mate… Maybe you’ll find yours tonight!” I immediately shook my head.
“We both know that I don’t have mate, I’m a human Am, that’s also one of my reason why I don’t want to go to the ball. I’m not belong there.” This time she’s the one who held my hand.
“Who said you don’t belong there? You’re one of the few people who know our existence and that makes you rare Harper. You don’t know how fates work,we don’t know maybe you had a mate. I think there some cases that a human can have a werewolf mate, vampire mate or any creature.” She said to me.
I just smiled from what she said, sound so serious haha so creepy.
“Haha stop this drama now Am, its giving me a goosebumps.”
She playfully punch my shoulder and laugh with me. We make ourselves pretty and stunning for the ball.
Me and Amanda lives near at the palace where the royal family we’re living.
I met her a year ago, I think the blue moon festival. We talk until the moon replace by the sun. So much talk right?
From that moment, we became friends.
“Are you ready Harper?” She asked me. I nodded.
We left her house and went to the grand entrance of the palace. Everyone is invited to come but I don’t think if I’m also allowed.
I heard that the new king has a thing against human. He hates human and I don’t know why.
I glance at her, she’s so happy right now. Maybe hoping that she’ll find her mate tonight. I wish for her luck.
“Miss Amanda,” the guards at the gate greeted her and bow their heads.
Amanda were the daughter of the Royal chief warriors, she had a two younger siblings and an older brother.
She nodded at them and smiled.
“Is the ball started?”
“Yes Miss Amanda,” one of them answered emotionlessly.
“Oh okay, well we’ll go ahead now.” She said and held my hand. Before we passed by, I saw them murmured the word human.
They also aware that the new king hates human. I wish that I can’t cross my path on the nee king tonight.
“Look Harper! My father was there!” I look from where she pointed. I saw a man in his late fifties, he’s standing straight while having a serious look.
He had the intimidating aura.
“The person behind him were my brother.” She continued.
And then my glance travel to the person behind her father. I saw a young man in his mid twenties. He look great and I think it runs to their blood.
I was busy observing the surrounding when I felt Amanda’s grip tightened.
“What’s wrong?” I asked her.
She seems to be scared, stunned and so lost. She’s bothered.
“The king were watching us.” She whispered.
“Oh, maybe he’s not. Where he is?” I asked.
“Above, don’t look. It’s better if you won’t walk to him. Stay away from him, just tonight.”
I nodded my head and hold her hand on my arm.
“Yes I will, don’t worry.”
“Alright then, let’s go there.” We are about to walk when she stopped again. What happened?
“Did you smell that scent?” She asked me.
I confusedly stared at her.
“Smell what? Aside from food and different perfume I smell nothing.”
“Oh my… This smell…” Her eyes widened.
“Smell of my mate.” She said to me. I blinked once, she found her mate now?
“I’m so sorry to leave you here now, I’ll just going to find him now, I don’t want to waste this opportunity. But I promise I’ll be back soon.” She said hurriedly.
I nodded my head.
“No worries but promise me, you’ll going to find him. If now, I’ll smack you, haha just kidding. Go ahead now and good luck.”
She laughed softly and tap my shoulder.
“Alright see you later!” She said and then left.
I look around again but then suddenly I saw something. I was so stunned when I met a pair of captivating grey eyes.
“Mate.” My wolf, Reenah, yelled at me in joy.
Yeah I know that I’m lying to Amanda but don’t blame me, it was for her safety and mine.
No one should will know about my true identity.
“Don’t be a p*uss*y Reenah, obviously he doesn’t even want us.” My demon, Venice, conquered.
“Will the both of you stop arguing?!” My witch, Wendy, tried to stop them.
Here we go again, they will argue nonstop. Before they can start shouting to each other and that will definitely going to be annoying. I blocked them.
I looked at his direction again, he was still staring at me. He knows that I’m his mate but he’s not making a move to claim me.
Whatever.
I just shrugged off and went towards the food court.
“Go to him please, Alizah.” My wolf beg to me.
“No Reenah, We both know that we can’t have a mate.” I said to her.
“We can, Please I need him, we need him.” She pleaded. I let out a sigh silently.
“Miss?” I heard someone called me from behind. I look at him and gave him a questioning look.
“The king’s want to see you,” he replied.
Oh really?
“Go to him now! I knew it, he wanted us also!” My wolf happily said.
I doubt that, but okay fine. I’ll face him. I nodded to the man and followed him.
We went to a huge and beautiful room, it’s screaming wealth and power. The man who bring me here immediately leave.
“So you’re my mate.” I searched where the voice came from. I found him near at the window and he’s back was facing me.
Slowly he turned around to face me and the first thing I saw were his greyish eyes.
I can clearly see anger and disgust in his face.
“What’s your name?” He asked me seriously, coldness was also evident in his voice.
“Tell him now Alizah!” My voice shouted. She’s too happy, I’m afraid there will be a high possibility that her heart will break in to million pieces later.
“I’m Harper Alizah Grace Larkspur.” I answered. He start to walk towards my direction and smirk.
“I’m King Zachary Vance Spencer Montegromery, Rejecting you, Harper Alizah Grace Larkspur as my mate and the future queen of werewolves.”
My Wolf whimpered from what she heard while me? I’m still processing in my mind what the heck did he just said.
The way he told me that he’s rejecting me it was as if it’s just nothing to him.
“Bastard!” My demon cussed him.
“He’s not a bastard Ven!” Reenah yelled back.
My mind was chaotic now. I calm myself and blocked them again. I step once and smirk at him.
“May I know why you’re rejecting me?” I asked him so calmly.
His jaw clenched and glared at me.
“Isn’t obvious? You’re just a pathetic, weak and useless human. And clearly a human can’t be my mate!” Why he’s so angry? I didn’t even do something terrible to him.
“Tell him, Alizah? Tell him you’re not human!” My wolf beg to me. I don’t know what should I will now really, I closed my eyes and tried to blocked them but it seems like I can’t control them now because of this situation.
“Don’t beg him to accept us, it’s not our lose, it’s him.” Wendy said to me. Venice agreed too but my wolf was saying different, she’s telling me that I should told to him who really I am.
“I’m sorry Reenah but I’m choosing us over him.”
I looked at him and smiled. He called me pathetic, weak and useless human. I’m wondering what makes him hate human so bad?
“Okay fine, yes I’m just a human and do you know what that does mean? Rejection can’t hurt me.” I confidently said and look directly into his eyes.
“I’m Harper Alizah Grace Larkspur, accepting your rejection, King Zachary Vance Spencer Montegromery as your mate and the future queen of werewolves.” After I said that I smirked at him that made him mad and confused.
I can feel that his in pain like I felt right now but of course I didn’t show him that I’m hurt.
Reenah was begging me to take back what I’ve said but what done is done, I can’t undo something that already happened.
Our bond was slowly fading as I can feel the strong pain in my heart. It feels like it’s ripping me apart.
“Leave now, Alizah.” Wendy told to me.
Before I can turn my back on him, he grab my arm so firmly in the way I can feel so much pain.
“Listen carefully human, I know that you can’t feel the pain I felt right now so get out of my f*uc*king territory and don’t come back!” He angrily yelled in my face.
I gave him a death glare, if he’s thinking that I’ll be scared at him well he’s wrong. I jerk away so his grip loosen. A loud and h*ard slap t*ouches his cheeks.
“That’s what I’m going to do dumbass! Do you think I would like to stay to this f*uc*king place with you? Don’t be dumb! I don’t need someone like you and I don’t f*uc*king care if you’re the werewolf king! “I yelled back angrily.
I’m starting to lose my s*hit too. His face darkened and in just a matter of second he slap me so h*ard that made me fall into the ground.
Before I can stand up a bunch of warriors came and literally drag me up.
“Take her away from my territory and don’t let her come back. That was an order!” He yelled.
“Yes your highness!”
Before they can drag me out I gave him a death glare. Don’t let our path cross again, King. I won’t forgive you easily. Not until I’ll find a good and valid reason for me to forgive you.
As we reach the ball hall, they all stop dancing and look at me with confusion. All of them doesn’t have any idea what’s going on.
“Harper!” I heard someone yelled from the crowd.
I searched where she is, and I saw her running towards my direction.
“What are you doing to her?! Let her go! She did nothing wrong!” She shouted and trying to defend me.
The Warrior’s still dragging me out while Amanda she’s still following us.
Outside the palace I saw a black sleek care was parked at the end of the red carpet.
“Stop! Stop now! “She ordered but they didn’t obey what she was saying.
“No! Don’t take her away, she’s innocent!” She beg when she saw me getting into the car.
The car start to move, I saw in the side mirror she’s looking at the car where I was right now while crying.
“I’m sorry Amanda for leaving, I’m so sorry also for lying to you. I’ll promise when our paths will cross again, I’ll make it up to you. Take care Amanda Carnelian.” I mind linked to her
After that, I am being exiled to the place where my mate, My ex mate precisely, Ruled.
