The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 90 Vampire’s Territory
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
It’s been a week since that night happened, and until now I can’t still forget nor just move on. What do I expect? it’s really h*ard to move on. Taking a d*eep breath, I get off my bed and reached out for my black leather jacket.
I’m going outside, I still have to go to work. So dumb of me, I leave the palace without carrying anything with me. Not even a single cash on my pocket, the foods and drinks on the trunk of the car was enough for me to survive in a couple of days.
All thanks to the couple who help me to find and let me stay in this small yet lovely house. As I opened the door, the cold but fresh air welcomed me. From the place where I was standing at, I saw the sunflower field which giving some good and relaxing view.
I’m not quite sure where I am right now, but all I know, I’m not inside his territory anymore. This is a new place, new surroundings, new perception. Another sigh escaped from my lips. To see the situation, adjusting here is not h*ard to do.
This is just a small village located at the outskirt of Titan city, probably there are just one hundred and half living here, just my assumption because I still don’t roam around this place. I didn’t bother to do that anymore because I know… I know that I won’t stay here for so long.
“Going to work now, Alizah?” The woman next door asked me. She’s one of the persons who help me to settle down. They were so kind to me although they were thinking that I’m just a human. All of the persons living in this small village was a vampire, just a normal vampire though. The one who can control their thirst of blood.
I nodded and smile a little, “Yes, I’m almost late. Woke up late again,” I told to her. She chuckled and plastered her beautiful smile.
“Again haha, anyway, I won’t interrupt you then. Have a great day,” she said and waved her hand.
“Likewise,” I replied with a smile and bowed. As she nodded, I made my way to my car and hopped in. While I was driving, I couldn’t help but think about them, him. Are they fine without me? Is Amanda angry with me for leaving again?
And the council, they probably happy that I left. Those oldies. My face crumpled in disgust as I remember their terrible words about me. I shouldn’t be offended by what say because it was the truth, but the old sayings were right, truth hurts.
They just told to me what I needed to know; they just stated their opinion about me. I let out a sigh and just focused on driving. A few minutes later, I reached my destination. I get out inside my car and looked around. I saw a lot of vampires around here, but also human.
I took a d*eep breath and started to walk towards the small Café shop that I was working at. As soon I got in, I saw Samantha approached me. She’s the one who owned this Café, she’s kind and very thoughtful. She’s the only one who hired me without showing any documents.
“Is there any problem?” I asked her when I saw her expression. I can say if she’s happy or what, but there’s something wrong.
“We are not going to work today; I sent the others’ home.” She told me. I stared at her, confusedly. Why?
“But, we will go to somewhere. You’ll come with me,” she continued. I continue to stare at her, “To where?” I asked. She grinned from ear to ear, “Lets go and watched the tournament!” she exclaimed happily. She looked excited now. We will be off work just to go and watch?
“What tournament?” I asked again.
“You surely asked a lot, but come on. Let’s go, this will be fun. You’re just new here and I know you’ll enjoy it.” Sound so promising. Alright, I nodded my head to agree.
“Alright, shall we go then?” I asked. She nodded repeatedly, she looked very excited. I don’t know why I’m fine being around her; I mean, I don’t usually trust others this easy. But I can feel that she’s harmless though so… it’s just okay with me to hang out with her.
She’s two years ahead of me, although she’s older, she’s the one who acted like the younger one. I chuckled at that thought. She somehow resemblance Amanda, they both kind and adorable. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why I’m closed to her already.
“Let’s use your car, I hate driving alone!” she said excitedly while locking the door of her shop. I smiled at her reaction, “Alright, where will be the tournament take place at?” I asked her.
“Hmm, it was just ten minutes trip.” She answered, “Well done, we can go now.” She informed me. She finally locked the door. “I see, please follow me.” She nodded her head and followed me towards my car.
“Hop in,” I gently invited her which she quickly obeyed. “Your car is very beautiful, I love it!” she commented as she got in. I just realized now; this is the latest version of Toyota. Right, at least they don’t give me a sports car.
“Thank you,” I thanked her. She smiled and said, “Welcome.”
“If you don’t mind, Alizah. Can I ask something?” I nodded my head.
“Sure, ask right away.” I replied as I started the engine of the car.
“Just a little curious, you looked so lost when the first time I saw you. What happened?” she asked me. I glanced at her, she noticed that.
“It’s a long story.” I answered.
“I have a plenty of time to listen,” I chuckled. She won’t give up, eh? Alright, I will share some.
“I run away,” I admitted. She gasped and looked at me with wide eyes. “Really? Why did you run away? Is someone chasing you? Is your life in danger?” I chuckled in amusement.
“No, not like that. I run away because I’m upset, very upset.” She looked at me intently. “What makes you upset? Oh sorry, I’m being nosy again.” I inhaled d*eeply.
“It’s okay. You’re just curious, and to answer your question, my boyfriend and I had an argument.” She listened carefully to me.
“You have a boyfriend?” I smiled and nodded.
“Yeah, but I don’t know if we are still together.” After I told him to let me go, I don’t know what happened next. Is he sad? Or happy that he finally got rid of me?
“What do you mean about that? You don’t know if you two were still together?” I nodded again.
“Yes, it’s kind of complicated.”
“I bet I can understand you. You can share it with me, Aly.” She badly wanted to know my story eh?
“I believe you can. But it’s very a long story, I’m afraid I might just bore you up.” She shook her head and giggled.
“Seriously, no. I found you very interesting, so kindly tell me your story hmm. I promise, I will tell my story afterwards.” I glanced at her.
“That’s a promised?” She nodded repeatedly and smile. I’m a little curious about her too.
“Yes, it is. So, go on.”
“Okay, the reason why I thought that we are not together anymore is that before I leave, I asked him to let me go.” She’s a little shock on what I said.
“Why did you ask that?” I smiled sadly. Because I’m too upset, hurt and betrayed. He lied to me, he played me.
“It’s too h*ard for me to go on after what he did, he betrayed me.” I answered.
“He betrayed you? Did he cheat on you?” I shook my head.
“No, worse than that. When the first time we met, he’s very rude and harsh. But a few days later, he become kind to me. I know from that moment, there’s something wrong about him. But as time passed by, I learnt to forget, forgive and grow some feelings for him.” She nodded her head and sign me to continue.
“He told me he regrets everything bad he did to me before, and I believe him because he looked sincere. But then, recently, I heard the truth. I learned to know the reason behind his sudden change.” I continued.
“He just pretended,” I took a d*eep breath to look at her. I saw her staring at me, “Wow, I don’t know him but I already hate him for lying to you. He’s such an a*ss for playing your heart!” she sounded angry than I. I chuckled, “And, that’s the reason why I run away.” I ended my story.
“That’s very unfortunate. Can you tell me his name? I personally hunt him down and salvage him.” I laughed h*ard. Damn, how will she salvage the werewolf king? Geez, but I admire her guts.
“You don’t need to know, maybe you will really hunt him down.” I joked. She giggled and laughed.
“Believe me I will,” she joked too. I just shook my head and laugh softly too. Somehow, there’s someone who’s making me happy.
“Anyway, I’ll tell my story when we are on the Arena,” she paused and looked outside the window. “Oh shoot, we are already here.” She stated when she realized. Right, we are already here. I saw a big Arena in front of us.
“Park your car over there, oh my! I’m really excited!” I nodded. From outside the place, I already see a lot of persons around.
“Is this a huge tournament?” I asked her as I get out the car. She nodded, “Yes, there are a lot of participants participating in this event.” I see, entertaining then.
“Come on, let’s get inside.” She said and took my hand. She dragged me with her inside the Arena. I’m quite impressed, this place is indeed huge.
“Let’s go there to have a better view,” she said and pointed the vacant chairs near the battle field.
“Sure, lets go.” I agreed. We move towards that place together. As we sat down, I heard the two girls in front of us were talking.
“The event will start after the royalties will arrive, right?”
“Yes, based on what I heard; the king will come too.” The other girl giggled.
“Really? He barely leaved the palace. But that’s a great news, maybe he’ll notice and find me attractive.” I made a face. Why am I eavesdropping them, anyway?
“He will come?” I heard Samantha murmured.
“The Vampire King?” I asked her. She quickly looked at me, “You heard me? I just thought about it.” She did? I think she said it loud.
“No, you said it.” I corrected her.
“I did? Oh, maybe. There’s no way you can read my mind,” she told me. Haha, only if you know.
“Anyway, these two girls were right. The king barely leaves his kingdom. In my twenty-six years of existence, I only seen him once. That’s when he was coronated as the new king,” I remember something about what she said. Oh… I got coronated as the Queen of werewolves one week ago but look where I am now, in the territory of vampires.
“Alizah? Are you alright? You became silent suddenly?” I composed myself and looked at her.
“Yeah, just fine. So, you only seen him once?” She nodded her head.
“Yes, but I don’t remember what he looks like now. I just saw him when I was fifteen? Yeah, it was eleven years ago when the last time I saw him.” I see. “How about you? Did you already see him?” she asked me. I shook my head, no, not even once.
“No yet. I spend my time on the werewolf territory, I just come here a week ago.” I said honestly. She was a little caught off guard by what I said.
“In the werewolf territory? Does that mean you live with those huskies?” What? Haha, she’s calling werewolves a husky? Damn, should I feel offended or amused?
“Yeah, kind of.” I answered.
“Dang, how is it feels like?” She asked me curiously. “I mean, I never dare to step my foot on their territory. It’s a big conflict if I did, they will probably skin me alive.” She told me; amusement can be heard in her voice.
“Why? Is there any conflict between Vampires and Werewolves?”
“There is… a big one. Vampires and Werewolves hates each other, The Werewolf King was the one who is making a big deal though.” My mate? “What did he do?” I asked in curiosity. She glanced at me, “He prohibited vampires to enter his territory.”
“Really? I don’t see werewolf here too.” She nodded. “Exactly, our king prohibited werewolves to enter the territory in return.” She replied. That explains.
“No wonder, our world is chaotic.” I stated.
“Right, haha. But even it is h*ard, what important is… we are still alive.” She’s indeed right.
