The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 16 Lake
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Don’t laugh at me. I’m telling you Harp, you’ll be defeated by me.” she swears and pointed me.
I stopped laughing and shook my head while smiling. She’s really fun to hang with.
“Anyway, let’s change the topic. Do you want to swim?” I asked her. She looked in the lake in front of us.
“Here?”
“Yeah, we’ll shift in to our human form.” I replied. she looked at me.
“The water’s looks so cold.”
“Are you scared of cold water Am?” I joked her.
“Of course not!” she exclaimed in my mind.
“Then..” I paused and looked at her.
“Let’s go!” As I said that, I pushed her on the water.
“shift in to your human form now, Am.” I mind linked her before I started shifting.
When I’m not shifting back into my human form, I swim down on the lake. I stayed below and waited for her to look for me.
I closed smile formed in my lips when I heard her calling my name.
“Harper? Where are you?” I still didn’t show up.
“Harper! This is not a good joke.” Now she’s calling me worriedly.
I swim near to her feet.
“Harper! If you won’t show up, I’ll leave!” She warned me.
I giggled in the water and captured her feet that makes her shout in fear and shock.
I laughed h*ard when I saw her priceless face. That’s kinda hilarious, hahaha. She frowned and splashed water on my face.
“That’s not funny Harp, you scared the hell out of me.” I grinned widely and splashed water on her too.
“You’re no fun Am.” I replied. I saw her rolled her eyes so I chuckled. She got the attitude.
“you still had that hobby of yours, you really love to mess up with me.” She complained that earns another laugh from me.
I shrugged and swam closer to her.
“I never change Am, I’m still your witty friend.” I told her while smiling.
“Yeah, yeah still the same.” She answered sarcastically but I didn’t get offended because I know how moody she is. Specially now that she’s pregnant, pregnant lady can be so dramatic and crazy sometimes.
“Alright, I’m sorry for scaring you but I just wanted to have fun since it’s kinda stressful a while ago.” I apologized.
She looked at me like she just remembered something.
“Speaking of that matter, what happened a while ago between you and the king? Why he looked mad and confused?” she asked me.
She’s that curious? I let out a sigh and answered her question.
“He’s asking me who really I am, I think he’s starting to doubt my identity.” I replied.
“Oh, that would be a problem. I know him, he’ll do everything to know the answers of the questions in his mind. It’s either by hook or crook.” I know that very well.
“So, what’s your plan now?” she asked me.
I pursed my lips and think about what I should really do.
“Well?”
I looked at her and shake head.
“I don’t need to do anything, I’ll let him think what he wanted to think and… If he’s desperate enough to know who I am, then I’ll wait for him to discovered my true identity.” I answered.
“Good answer but… what if you will say to him your secret? I mean he’s your mate… he’ll might acc—” I didn’t let her to finished her sentence.
“He won’t accept me, he didn’t even wanted to be around me. And one more thing, it will be dangerous if they will know my secret.”
She looked intently at me.
“Then why did you tell me your secret?” she asked me. I stayed silent for how many second.
I smiled.
“You’re my best friend Am, I knew you won’t betray me. Think about this, if my mate will know who I am, the council will knew about my existence too. I’m the only tribid in this world, that will cause chaos and will arise a war.” I explained.
She bites she lower lips and think. I know that she understands what I am talking about. She knew the council well, even though my mate is the Alpha King… he can’t save me from the. Well maybe he can protect me but not always.
“You’re right but… there’s no secret you can hide forever. There will a time that they will know your secrets But don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” I nodded.
She’s right, there’s no permanent in this world. All of the secrets will be exposed.
“Thank you Am, don’t worry too. If they will know my secret, I want you to stay calm.” She nodded her head.
“I will but I won’t if they will harm you.” She swears. I shook my head.
“No, promise me Am. Don’t panicked, I’ll do everything to manage the situation if that time will come. But for now, let’s enjoy this moment. My head hurts from our topic.” I tried to change the topic jokingly. She smiled and splashed water on my face.
Ah this is what she wanted huh. I splashed water on her too and that’s the reason why we had a water fight on the lake.
After a few hours we decided to go home. We’re quite hungry now. We shifted in our werewolf form and we are about to start running when I sense someone near to our place.
“Shift on your human form.” I mind linked her. It’s easy to hide our scents if we are in our human form. She obeyed what I said.
We hide in a large and tall tree. We saw a bunch of warriors near in our place.
“What are they doing?” I whispered.
They look like finding something? Someone perhaps?
“That’s my brother’s underlings. What are they doing here?” she whispered on me.
That’s the question in my mind too.
“Do you know what’s your brother latest mission?” I asked her. She kept her mouth shut as if she was remembering something.
“I think… the rouge’s whereabouts.” She answered.
Nah, I think that’s not their latest mission since I k*ill*ed the rouges already. I looked at Amanda, she was under my spell right now. No one can smell her except me.
“They were looking for me.” I informed her. She looked at me confusedly.
“Why would they look for you? Don’t tell me the king thought you escaped? But we are just away for almost three hours and one more thing, my husband knew that you were with me.” I shook my head, she got it wrong.
“What I mean is… since I k*ill*ed those rouges a few days ago, I am the one who they were looking for now.” I explained.
Her eyes widened.
“Why are they looking for the person who k*ill*ed the rouges? Isn’t better? You finished the task they supposed to do,”
“Maybe you’re not the one they were looking for, maybe someone else or it’s a thing?” she continued. Yeah, maybe.
I glanced at the warriors again, they are leaving now. When they were out of my sight, I looked at Amanda.
“Shift now and let’s go.” She nodded her head and shifted.
We run fast towards the place where we go before. As we got there, I shifted back in our human form, I walk closer my bag and get my clothes out. I wore it silently.
“Harp?” I looked at her while fixing my shirt.
“Hmm?” I hummed.
“What about my punishment? I play fair and professional, so…?” she asked me. I smiled at her and tied my hair.
“I’ll think about it first Am, maybe I’ll just going to tell you if I already know.” I answered.
“Alright, but please don’t torture me.” she said jokingly. I chuckled at her response.
“Of course, I won’t because you’re hella pregnant. I still have conscience, you know.” I joked back.
“Haha, let’s go back now.” I nod my head. We walked together back to the palace. I feel that my wolf was so alive now. She’s coping up very well from the pain that our mate inflicted on us.
When we got in the palace, a maid goes towards our direction. She looks so scared? Why?
“Queen, Lady Amanda.” She said and then bowed.
“Do you need something?” Amanda asked her.
She looked on me.
“Queen, the king was asking for your presence in his office. He’s been looking for you a few hours ago but you’re nowhere to be found.” Office? Where was that? And why is he looking for me?
I glance at Amanda, she’s looking at me too.
“Go now Am, I’ll go.” I was about to walk when she stopped me by holding my wrist.
“Are you sure that you’ll face him?” She asked me.
“Yes I will. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” I replied and give her a reassuring smile. She nodded and let go off my hand.
“Alright then, se you in the dinning room later.” I nodded. I watched her walked away from me and when she’s gone from my sight I looked at the maid in front of me.
“Please lead the way.”
