The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 68 The Past
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
Would I accept him if he didn’t rejected me five years ago? I seriously don’t know, maybe yes, but maybe no. I always think first before making any decisions, nor actions.
It will depend on the situation if I’ll accept him or not, if he treats me well, maybe yes. He didn’t rejected me but still treating me bad? Maybe I’m the one who’s going to reject him.
Asking me that question won’t change anything, it won’t bring back the time for us to change everything. What important is now, and the future. What happened in the past will remained as a memory.
“Well?” he asked to catch my attention. I looked at him and bit my inner lip before started talking.
“I honestly don’t know the answer. I mean, you’re a king and I’m just a human. A human like me doesn’t deserve to be your mate and the future queen of werewolves. But I —”
“Ssshhh, don’t underestimate yourself. You’re special that’s why you’re my mate and you deserve the whole world that I failed to see at first. I won’t be tried of asking your forgiveness for that.” he cut me off.
I stopped walking and looked at him. He’s becoming a cheesy man again. I tapped his shoulder and smile.
“To be honest with you, I didn’t expect that I have a mate. I mean, I’m just a human, a human doesn’t have a soul mate.” Well, a tribrid like me shouldn’t have mate. Why the moon goddess gave me one in the first place?
“Stop with the drama, let’s go now. We still need to cook that,” I said and pointed the fishes we caught at the river falls which he was holding now. He smiled slowly and then nodded his head.
“Alright, come on.” He agreed and started walking with me beside him. As we reached the cabin, he asked me how will I cook the fish. I gave him a look.
“Of course, I’ll clean it first.” I didn’t know why he chuckled from what I said. Did I say something funny?
“Haha, silly you. I mean, what kind of dish?” Oh, that’s what he means.
“We’ll just going to grill it,” I answered. He nodded his head, “That would be easy, let me do the work. Go ahead, you might catch cold.” I can hear worry in his voice.
“Are you sure? You’re w*et too, you might be sick if you don’t change your clothes. You know what? Come on, let’s get change first then we will grill together afterwards.” I suggested.
“Okay, that’s actually a great idea.” Yeah, it is. He put the fishes on the fridge at the mean-time. This is our problem now, the cabin only has one bathroom. Who will use it first? and what he will going to wear? Oh, I think, my dad still had some spare clothes here. Geez, I hope those are not ruined.
“The bathroom was there, you can use it first because I’ll find something you can wear for the mean time.” I instructed him while pointing my small bathroom.
“Nah, you can go first. I don’t want you to get sick. I can bear with these w*et clothes and I know I won’t get sick.” He’s stubborn isn’t he? Okay then, as what he said. He’s probably thinking that I have a low and weak immune system.
“Okay but I’ll get you a towel, hold on.” I quickly get a towel from the drawer and gave it to him.
“Thanks.” He mumbled, I nodded.
“You can use that to dry yourself for the mean-time.” He nodded while looking around my room.
“I’ll be jus quick, please don’t t*ouch anything.” I warned before I went in to the bathroom.
“Rest assured.” I took a d*eep breath as I entered inside, this is not really on my plan but at least, I won’t stay at the kingdom tonight.
“Don’t think too much, Alizah. Take a bath now, remember he’s inside the cabin. He might see something about you that he doesn’t need to see.” I whispered in the air. Another sigh escaped in my lips before I started cleaning myself.
As soon I’m done, I dry up myself using the towel and wore my clothes. While going out in the bathroom, I’m drying my hair.
“Is this your father?” I quickly looked on his direction. I saw him pointing a picture frame above the table besides my bed. On the photo, I was six, dad was still alive and currently the Alpha. That was captured when this cabin was created by him. yes, he’s builder this cabin, he created this alone.
If he’s not the Alpha, he’s probably an engineer nor an architect. We are both happy that time, doesn’t have any pain in my heart. But not, everything chance, since that bloody night. Every night, I can’t sleep well, I always dream about that nightmare.
My past that hunts me around, wherever I go, whatever I do. I still think about it. Even if I wanted to forget and move on, I just couldn’t. My past is one of the reasons why I can’t trust easily, the past events of my life taught me well.
“Harper? Are you okay?” I was pulled back into the reality when I heard him called my name.
“Huh?” I unconsciously mumbled.
“I’m asking you if you’re okay. You seem like you’re spacing out, what are you thinking?” I shook my head and continue drying my head.
“I’m just okay, you can use the bathroom now.” I said and shortly smiled. He just stared at me not moving a bit.
“You’re not with yourself, did I say something wrong?” he insisted on asking.
“You didn’t say anything wrong, I’m just… just a little sad.” I admitted. His face softened and walked closer to me.
“Why?” I looked at the picture frame.
“I miss my dad, I hope he’s still alive but I know it’s not possible anymore. He’s long gone, won’t able to come back to life.” I don’t know why I’m telling this to him but… I’m really hopeless and needed someone to talk with. It’s my father and the pack member’s death anniversary tomorrow, that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to visit him today.
Tomorrow will be the day of my former pack’s destruction, the day of remembering my bitter and cruel past. I sat at the edge of the bed while still drying my hair, this is hopeless. I felt him moved closer to me and eventually sat beside me.
I can feel that he’s hesitating if he’ll comfort me or not. I’m a type of a girl who didn’t open up easily, but I did it today with him. I stopped what I’m doing and reached out for the picture frame.
I’m a little girl in the photo, an innocent girl who doesn’t know anything, all she knew is… she’s his father’s angel. The reason why his alive and ruling the pack. A memory from the past flashed in my mind, my father’s bloody death.
In my own two eyes, I saw how he fall on the ground smiling weakly while looking at me apologetically. He’s so sorry that he couldn’t save the pack and himself from the hand of the bad guys. I screamed in panicked and horror that time, I knew… I can’t save him and the whole pack from death.
What a child can do against them all?
At the end of the night, I lost everything special to me. My father died, the pack members and officials died, the pack was burned into ashes. I’m the only one who survive, which I hated. They died because of me, they died upon protecting me.
I won’t waste their sacrifice, someday, I’ll have my vengeance. I’ll make them pay all.
