The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 117 (Harper Alizah Grace’s POV)
Something was off…
I feel like there’s something strange happening inside this palace. I just don’t know what, and how will I know about it. Three days had been passed, no food no water.
This is a pure torture, but I’m wise enough. Since I can control the four elements, which is the water, earth, fire and air, food and water is not a problem to me.
But also, since I’m still hiding my true identity, I’m just limiting myself from using my power.
I look on the door way when I hear someone’s steps. The room suddenly lit up, my brow furrowed. Who visited me this time. I thought, no one is allowed to visit me?
I keep my silence while looking at him, intently. I couldn’t help but to feel the anger towards him. And also, I couldn’t help but to ask, why? Why is he doing all of this? Why he is torturing me? Why did he leave me? Why did choose to hate me? What exactly the reason why he hurt me?
I thought we’re fine that day, I thought we, the two if us is willing to take a chance, to start over again. I really hoped, I believed that we can still stay on each other after all the hardship we’ve been experience together.
He went inside my cage and just stop when he’s in front of me. He stared at me, directly in the eyes while signing the warriors behind him to leave.
I stared back, but without emotion in my eyes. I’ve done enough, I don’t want to cry anymore, to waste my tears into something which is not worth it.
“Tsk, amusingly, you can stare back. I see,” My brow furrowed, so what if I can stare back? Even before, I always dare to look in his eyes. He extend his hand and hold me in my cheeks, “Still not giving up?” why should I give up? Give up on what either?
“Get off your filthy hands of me,” I warned him dangerously. But he just laugh, and move back.
“Funny, if your thinking that I can’t hurt you because your still my mate and the queen…” I cut him off.
“Haha, you’re funny too. I’m not even thinking that your some kind of a saint because I know you’re not. Not even close from it. And no, I’m not your mate nor the queen anymore since the day you abandoned me.”
He raised his eyebrows, “Really?” he leaned back on the wall and dryly laugh. “You never failed to amuse me, Harper. Even before you’re still this dumb, you even believe that I really love you.” Because that’s what you made me feel! You made me feel wanted, loved and cared. You said a lot of words just to get my trust, you show effort and I unbelievably believed it.
I believe on you, I trusted you. It’s really hard for me to trust anyone but I did, and now, all of the person whom I trusted ending up of betraying me. Him, Amanda, this kingdom.
“Did I hit a nerve? Triggered already? Why are you glaring at me like that?” calm down Harper, he’s just making you mad.
“What do you really need?”
He smirked and stands straight, he started to walk from left to right, while I, in the other hand just looking at him.
“Won’t you even ask why I did it?” Even if I wanted to know the reason, I don’t want to. Not now, I don’t want to hear any reason from him.
“Does if matter? You still hurt me,” I said and glare. Oh how badly I wanted to hurt him now.
“Hurt you? You did it first.” Wow, his guts to say that. I laughed sarcastically, “Haha, I didn’t know that you can throw a joke, King.” I mocked.
“And as far as I can remember, you’re the one who hurt me first. Oh no… all you do is to hurt me, all the time, even before till now.” I continued.
His face went serious, “You don’t have any idea on what you did, right?” what I exactly did to make him mad like this? Am I supposedly the one who is mad as hell now?
“Again it doesn’t matter.”
“Alright, I’ll leave you alone then.” He said and turn his back on me. That’s it?
But before he completely leave, he look at me again. “We are not done yet,” okay then?
“And one more thing, if you don’t show your true identity within two weeks, I’ll force you. Enjoy keeping your dirty little secret, mate.” As he said that, he left.
I blink twice, so he’s not that dumb as what I think. He put me here to torture in order to show my true identity. He already knew about me then, being a tribrid. Impressively.
“Within two weeks…” I murmured. What will he do if I won’t do what he wanted? And what he will do if I’ll reveal myself? We will see, King.
I let out a sigh and move towards the small bed on the corner. I sat down while looking outside the cage, I see five or more warriors guarding me. Only if I don’t have this silver chain on my hand and neck, I’m probably roaming outside now.
I lay down on the bed and stared on the ceiling. “Harper? Can you hear me?” My brow furrowed when I heard Amanda’s voice inside my head. Oh right, I nearly forgot that we still have the link in our mind.
“I know you can hear me, and I know you probably don’t want to talk to me now.” I can hear despair in her voice as she said that.
“But just hear me out, Harp. I… I didn’t mean—” I let out a sigh. “Don’t talk, Am.” She went silent but then suddenly I hear her sob.
“No, I wanted to explain my side Harp. You know me, I don’t want to hurt you, that was the last thing I will do.” “But you already did, Am.” I replied.
“Yes, that’s why guilt is eating me up. I don’t want to feel this way, I wanted to make it up to you.” She is?
“Please tell me, what should I do for you to forgive me?”
“You can do one thing,” I answered honestly.
“Tell me! I’m willing to do it, Harp.” I hear hope in her voice.
“Be my spy outside, report to me all the things you will hear. Please Am, I’m giving this as your only chance. I don’t want to hurt you too, but if you’ll betray me again, you know what will happen.” I’m not lying about that one.
“I agreed. Thank you for giving me a chance, Harper.”
“Alright.” I hope you won’t betray me again, Amanda.
