The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 69 Smiles
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
I unconsciously shut my eyes when I felt him embrace me from behind.
“You can cry on my shoulder, don’t hold back yourself. Sometimes, crying is the best way to lessen the pain in your heart.” Because of what he said, I wanted to burst into tears but no, I have no tears to cry on.
I’m so done of crying, and bearing all the pain and hatreds in my heart. But what I can do? This is my life, a life full of h*ardships and secrets. I don’t know what’s gotten me and I hugged him back.
“I appreciate your effort for trying to comfort me, but… I’m okay. Dad is long gone, I accepted that. Anyway, go in the bathroom now. We still have a lot of things to do, hurry up.” I said and tapped his back.
“Are you sure? You seem so lost?” I shook my head.
“Nah, seriously I’m just okay. Go ahead now, even you’re a werewolf you can still get sick.” He nodded his head and smiled slowly.
“Okay, see you later.” I nodded as well. I watched him go towards the bathroom before I stood up from the bed. Geez, where did I put my father’s clothes? Ah, I think on my closet. I took a d*eep breath and walked towards my closet. Luckily, I found a black large shirt, and a blue pajama. Would he going to wear this?
Oh, he doesn’t have any better choice right? I shrugged my shoulder and fixed my hair using my f*ingers. No, he would never complain. He will wear this or he’ll be cold. I looked at the bathroom’s door when I heard it opening.
And there he is, wearing just a towel around his waist. Who knows what’s lurking inside that towel? Geez, stop it Alizah. Don’t think that way, I set aside that thought in my mind and just watched him go towards my direction.
He’s topless and I admitted, it’s bothering me. But, there’s no way that he will know that. I just looked at him casually, like his n*aked body didn’t bothered me at all.
“Liking what you see?” he said c*oc*kily. Eh? I gave him a look, he’s too full to himself.
“Nah, I told you before. I’ve seen better,” I answered back and smirked. He looked down on me intently, like my words triggered him. What?
Suddenly, he smirked on me devilishly. What is he thinking?
“Tell me love, whom do you find hotter than me and I can hunt him down now?” Seriously? Why he’s acting like this again? I crossed my arm on my chest while amusedly looking at him. He sounds jealous now.
“Well, it’s for me to know, for you to found out. And come on, is it a big deal?” I asked him. He walked even closer to me. I didn’t move from my spot, why would I? he can’t scare me.
“Of course, love. It’s a big deal to me,” I met his stares bravely. I can’t find any reason why he’s acting territorial now.
“Ah, stop this nonsense. Here, wear this and I’ll wait you at the kitchen. I’ll prepare the fish,” I said to avoid the topic. Because I know, If I don’t stop this matter now, we will just end up arguing.
His gaze went down to the clothes I’m giving to him, what is he waiting for? What keeping him so long to accept?
“Well—” I didn’t get the chance to continue what I’m going to said because he suddenly lifted me up and throw me to the bed. I lowly groan because of the impact. Before I can even get up, he quickly hovered me, trapping my body on the bed.
I gave him a warning look but he just smirked widely. What the heck does he think he was doing huh? I put my hand on his chest to push him but he only captured both my hand and pinned it over my head. My eyes slightly widened at his action.
“What are you doing?” I asked empathically, there’s a hint of warn in my voice. Instead of answering my question, he flashed his killer smile.
Damn that smile. I closed my eyes tightly to calm my nerves, my heart is beating to fast that I can barely breath normally. My breath hitched when I felt his breath on my neck, he’s too close to me. I can’t process in my mind why everything turned this way?
My body tensed up when a soft matter t*ouches my neck, he’s k*issing me slowly. Damn, do something Alizah. I wanted to push him away but my body seem has its own mind. I can’t even say a single word, am I becoming a mute?
“Say something love,” he whispered huskily as his lips travelled from my neck up to my ear. Damn that voice, it’s k*ill*ing me inside. Making me feel unfamiliar emotions and sending tingling sensation all over my body.
Darn, get back to yourself Alizah. You shouldn’t feel that way, don’t, just don’t. I was about to pulled my hand on his gripped but I stopped when he looked at me directly in the eyes. There’s something inside of me saying that, I shouldn’t push him away, just go with the flows.
But there’s a part of me also, saying that I needed this matter to stop. What should I do?
“You’re so beautiful.” Those three words comes out into his lips while staring my eyes. I didn’t do or say anything, I just looked back, without blinking. I got mesmerized by his captivating grey eyes, I was drowning just upon looking at it. What’s wrong with me?
This is not really me.
“Let go yourself from worry and pain. Let yourself live again.” He whispered again that hits me. Let myself live again. How I will do that? how will I live when I’m practically dead inside? How I will start living again when I know well how broke I am?
I looked at him.
“Tell me how to live again?”
He slowly let go off my hand and t*ouches my cheeks. He caressed it while still looking at me and warmly smiled.
“Just be with yourself, allow yourself to feel happiness and love. Don’t push away the people who’s willing and wanted to be part of your life.” His words completely made me silent. He’s telling me to accept, and trust which is I know is h*ard to do.
But he’s right, I should open up again. I needed to trust and gamble for love and happiness. If I’ll get hurt and fall, then I’ll learn to get up and fight.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone is making their own mistakes but eventually fixing it.” He smiled and k*issed my forehead.
“I’ll just wear my clothes and let’s go together on the kitchen.” He continued. He went off me and get the clothes that I’m giving to him earlier. I was left on the bed, thinking about what happened and about what he said.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, what important is you’re making an action to fix it. That’s what he’s doing now, he made a mistake of rejecting me five years ago and now, he’s making everything for me to forgive him.
Now, I can able to see his efforts and sacrifices. He lowered down his pride and ego, he’s kind and nice to me. it is all because he changed, that’s what he wanted to prove to me. I looked at him, he wore his clothes now.
“Don’t think too much, hurry up. You are hungry right?” he asked while smiling. I just smile too and slowly get off the bed.
“Yeah, come on.” I replied smilingly.
