The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 94 Coming Back
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“I will go back to pay them a visit, I wanted to know how are they,” I decided. I can’t say that I will stay there for good, because I know I still have unfinish business to be done here.
Okay, I will leave now, then go back here again tomorrow’s night. Instead of going back in the village, I leave the territory right away. I couldn’t help but wonder what will be their reaction if they will see me there suddenly?
I let out a sigh and focused on the road. I’m still away, far away from the werewolf territory but I can bear it, “I will be there by ten,” I murmured. It’s still seven o’clock in the evening, it’s a three hours trip.
While driving, I’m eating the chocolate cupcakes the I bought before I leave the city. It’s sweet and really taste good. I enjoyed eating very much so I didn’t noticed that I already reached the boarder of the territory.
A few more minutes later, I can see the top of the palace. A small smile formed in my lips and breath in. Finally, I’m here again. All of the persons who see me were shock, they probably don’t expect me to come back after what happened.
I stopped the car in front of the front door and get off, “Our Queen, welcome back. Should we inform them that you are here?” One of the guards asked me. I shook my head, “No need, I’ll let them know.” He nodded in understanding.
“Yes, our queen.” I nod and started to get inside the palace. Why I can’t hear any noise here?
“Harper?” I heard Zandea’s voice, I searched where it is coming from. I looked back and there she is, standing straight while looking at me in disbelief.
“You… you’re here,” yes, I’m here. When she convinced herself that it was really me, she run towards my direction and pulled me a hug.
“I’m happy that you come back,” why is she very emotional? I hugged her and tapped her back to calm her down.
“Where is everyone?” I asked.
“Amanda, Lance and her son, Mathew, temporary leave the palace.” She answered. Why? Why would they temporary leave?
“While my mate, he’s in a mission with the two princes. It was me and my cousin who left here,” I see.
“Where did Amanda went?”
“Hiranya palace, but I think they will go back if they here that you are here.” I smiled, no, they should stay they for the mean time. I won’t stay here for a long time.
“Why did they leave?” I asked as I started to walk upstairs.
“You know, when you leave, the king can’t control himself anymore. He’s more rude, h*ard to please, cold and hella annoying. Amanda is pregnant, stress is not good to her so I suggested what if she’ll leave temporary to avoid stress.” She did a good thing.
“I see. Where is he then?” I asked. She stopped walking and let out a sigh, “He’s a mess, he barely leaves his room. And I don’t know if he’s still breathing or not. He’s really pain in the a*ss. You can go and check him up by yourself.” I nodded, alright..
“Ah… and one more thing, I’m always telling him that you’ll come back but he’s pessimistic and thought that you won’t forgive him, never. But Harper, I’m happy that you come back.” I closed my fist tightly. How I wish I can stay but I can’t.
“I’ll get going now, see you tomorrow. You should sleep now,” she nodded and hugged me once again.
“We miss you, all of us. Good night.”
“Good night.” I let out a sigh as soon I saw her started to walk away from me. Here I am, I don’t know what really I feel. Happy? Sad? Or still mad? I’m still upset. Leaving another sigh, I continued to walk.
I can’t decide if I go to him or not. They said he’s a mess when I leave, is he really is? I should find out what’s really happening. I stopped walking when I’m in front of the closed door of our room, should I knock?
In the end, I decided not to knocked on the door and just get inside without saying anything.
“Leave, leave me alone. I don’t want to see anyone now, didn’t I told to everyone that leave me the hell alone!” His loud warning welcomed me. They were right, he’s indeed a mess. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arm on my shoulder.
He too much sad and distracted in the way that he can’t even recognized my scent. Damn this man. I couldn’t help but to say that I missed him too.
“Are you seriously wanted me to leave the hell you alone?” I asked him, sassily. He quickly looked in my direction when he heard me said that. Shock and disbelief were visible in his eyes, he can’t believe that I’m here now?
He stared at me for so long but in just one snap, I found myself in his arm. Him, hugging me so tightly like he doesn’t want me to go. I placed my hand on his back and slowly tap it. I can’t breathe well, he slightly loosened up his grip on me but he is still embracing me.
“You’re here, you came back.” I heard him whispered, his voice was soft but hoarse. He rested his head on my shoulder. I’m quite shock when he started to sob, wait, is he crying?
“I really thought that you won’t come back, that you will leave me alone forever. I’m really sorry, I’m so sorry my queen. Believe me, I regretted everything wrong I did to you before. Only if I can turn back the time, I won’t hurt you like I did.” He pleaded.
All I could do is to listen, I know, I know that he regretted. But it hurts me to know that he thinks so very low to me before. But I can’t blame him though, he thought that I’m just a human.
“Please forgive me, let us start over again.” He still begs. He holds my hand and look directly in my eyes. He’s really crying, I don’t know why but it hurts me to see him like this. I slowly reach out for his face and wiped the tears away in his cheeks.
“I’m here, I came back.” I whispered. He tilted his head and closed his eyes to feel my t*ouch.
“That one week without you is a hell that I don’t want to experience again,” that’s when I slowly remove my hand on his cheeks. I feel guilty, I wanted to stay with him but I can’t. Now that there’s something that I wanted to do.
I can’t say to him, to them that I’m going to leave again because I know they won’t let me. All I can do tomorrow’s night is to left a message stating that I’m leaving again. But as for now, let them think that I’ll stay.
“Is there anything wrong?” I heard him ask me. I look up and shook my head. “No, there’s nothing wrong.” I replied with a smile. He looked at me intently, I know, he’s not convinced, he might me wondering what’s running inside my mind now.
“You’re not going to leave me again, won’t you?” I bit my inner lip. Damn, he sensed that right? He got some idea that I’m not going to stay with him. I slowly shook my head, “No, I will stay with you.” I lied.
I saw relief in his eyes, I feel guilty, I don’t want to do this but this the only thing I know that can help to end the war between the two clan. He pulled me again into a hug and k*issed the top of my head.
“I miss you so much.” I just hugged him back too. “I miss you too.” I uttered as I closed my eyes to feel his warm. We stayed like this for how many minutes until he decided to let go off me and look directly in my eyes.
He was happy that I’m here now, it was very obvious in his face. “I was very afraid when you made me choose of keeping or letting you go.” Why did he let me go then? Why don’t he choose to keep me instead?
“It’s h*ard for me to let you go that time but I need to, I know that I hurt you a lot. And I know that you need time to think,” he continued. And that makes me smile, he understood me, and thought about my feelings too.
“You wanted me to stay that time, right?” I decided to ask him. He nodded and embraced me again. “You can’t imagine how badly I wanted you to stay that time, but I know I can’t force you to stay because I just wanted too.”
“You’re hurt too, suffered a lot. Then why don’t you look for me?” I asked as I pulled away to his hug to see his expression.
“I wanted to look for you but I remembered what you told to me, that you’ll be the one who will come back.” He answered honestly and took my hand. He slowly put it above his chest, “You’re the only one I love, the woman I’m willing to spend the rest of my life. My mate, my woman and my queen.” I couldn’t help but to cry at what he said.
“I love you; you know that right?” I slowly nodded. I know, I know that very well.
“I’m begging you, love. Please don’t leave me again, I need you, we need you, the whole kingdom needs you.” He pleaded. Damn, how can I leave now? But how can I stay? Did I really choose the right choice?
I know he’ll be angry with me when he learned to know that I leave again, I’m sure I won’t be able to come back here freely after tomorrow’s night. But I need bear with it, for peace and freedom.
“No, I won’t leave you ever again.” I lied. By lying, he will never think of me leaving. I know this is wrong but do I have a better choice?
I just wanted to arrange the alliance between werewolves and vampires. This is very risky, once the vampires and werewolves discover that I’m also a werewolf and vampire, they will hate me. All of them, they might be also thinking that I’m some kind of spy, both of the clan.
Damn, I really need to be conscious and be careful on what decision and plan that I will do.
