The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 38 Reasons and War
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
While walking back to our room, I was thinking what reason should I say. It will be too lame if I said I just roamed around the whole place right?
I think I’m gone for eleven to thirteen hours? Not sure, but around that time. It’s kind a short span of time so.. it will be easy to say that I got lost? I’m not sure if they believe it, but there will be a huge possibility that they’ll believe since they think that I’m just a human.
As I walked towards the long hallway, I found it weird because I didn’t saw anyone in the hallway. Where are they? Where did they go?
I just shrugged my shoulder and continue walking. As soon I reached our room, I entered and locked it. My eyebrow furrowed, it’s too silent. I looked around, I saw the curtain is wide open so I walk towards it and close. It’s too light, my eyes hurt.
I got alarmed when I heard a foot step inside the room. I stay still on the place where I was and feel the surrounding. I won’t let anyone will hurt me.
I feel someone was about to attack me on my back so I quickly hold its hand and pin that person on the floor. The person groaned lightly, his voice was familiar.
Oh s*hit, this person is my mate. How silly I am, I didn’t feel his presence. Well, don’t blame me. I’ve become conscious to my surrounding after knowing the traitors.
Traitors can be someone, a stranger, your friend, your acquaintance, even your family. If they choose to betray you, they’ll going to betray you. You don’t hold their decision in life.
“Mate?” I quickly let go of him and stand straight.
“Sorry.” I mumbled.
He stood up also and looked at me intently.
“is that really you?” he asked. I sarcastically smiled and looked at him.
“Nah, this is just my soul.” He smiled and suddenly pulled me closer.
“It’s really you, my sarcastic mate.” He said happily while embracing me. Eh? I kinda expected him to be mad at me for disappearing but… he did the opposite? What’s wrong with him?
He’s too good to be true, is he just acting? I set aside that thought in my mind. I put my hand on his chest and slowly pushed him away from me.
“Where did you go? You made me damn worried.” I just smiled but didn’t reach my ear.
“Just somewhere, I got lost so I didn’t comeback quickly.” I reason out. Heck, I think it’s that’s really a lame reason. I saw him looked intently at me like he was giving me a ‘what the heck look’
“Are you making fun of me? They said you disappeared last night. So, you’re telling me that you roamed around the area, alone and unguarded?” I nodded my head unsurely but I quickly shake it again. Geez.
“Yes… I mean, I’m not kidding you. I just…” I paused when I can’t find a right word to say. I can’t tell him that, the traitor of this pack captured me and I just escape and planned to stopped them? I can’t freaking say that.
He’ll asked me how did I escape, how do I know that there’s a witch here. My secret will be exposed if I’ll do that. And that’s the thing that I don’t want to happen.
“You just?…” He asked me. I closed my lips tight and search for the right reason to tell.
“I just don’t know my way back here.” I reasoned out.
“Why did you leave in the middle of the night?” He asked me suspiciously.
“I can’t sleep so… I leave the pack house and go to the woods. But then, I didn’t noticed that I’ve gone too far.” I slightly closed my eyes and wished the ground to open and swallow me alive. I know that he won’t going to believe what I said.
Geez, this is embarrassing. But why I am telling my side anyway? I don’t need to reason out, right?
He raised his left eyebrow on me but a few seconds later, he nodded in understanding.
“Alright, I’ll believe what you said. But please, don’t do it next time.” He said and embraced me once again.
I put my hand on his chest again and smiled.
“Thank you for understanding me. and I’m sorry if I made you all worried.” I’m sincere about that. But I lied about the reasoning part. I know that he did not believe my words but he chose to accept it. That’s a little sweet of him.
“Forgiven, I won’t let you out of my sight from now on.” I can hear seriousness and determination in his voice. When he saw my expression, he smiled.
“King! King! Are you here?” A person behind the door said so loudly. We looked into each other and then glanced on the door.
He walked towards the door and opened it. I saw a man, familiar but I don’t know his name.
“What do you need?” he seriously asked the man. I slowly move my feet also towards their direction to hear what he will say. I think Selena showed up already.
“This is an urgent, there’s a witch.” Just like what I thought. I saw him smirked.
“I know.” He answered that caught me off guard. He knew?
“Since the day I step my foot here, I know there’s something wrong.” He continued. Now, I’m wondering if he knew that there are traitors also.
“What do you mean King?” The man asked.
He just sinisterly smirked.
“No one can’t hide their secrets, I’m not a king for nothing.” He said meaningfully. I secretly swallowed my own saliva. Geez, why my heart was beating too fast? I’m not the one he’s referring to, right?
Right?
Does he had idea about my true identity now?
“King,” I looked on the side when a person called him again. This time, it’s Hiro and his mate, Zandea.
Zandea’s eyes widened when she saw me.
“Harper!” she exclaimed.
She run towards my direction and hug me.
“Where did you go?” She asked me while sting embracing me.
Do I need to say my lame reason again? Before I can say any words, my mate talked.
“Let go of my mate Zandea.” Huh?
Zandy pulled away and looked to her cousin.
“So… selfish.” She commented.
“She’s my mate so it’s natural to be selfish.” Are they serious? They making an argument in the middle of the chaos?
“Yeah whatever. Anyway, harper… let’s talk later. I’m happy to see you back and unharmed.” She spoked. I nodded my head.
“The witch demanded for your presence, he said there’s something she wanted to tell you. And one more thing. There was a she-wolf with her. This she-wolf was calming she’s the Alpha’s mate. Everything is getting complicated. We need your command.” Hiro reported.
The surrounding became silent but later on, he talked.
“Bring me to them.” He commanded.
