The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 40 Reasons and War (Part 3)
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Get off, let go of my hand.” I told him while struggling in his grip. But instead of obeying what I said, his grip tightened and continue to dragged me with him.
Where are we going?
“Hey, hey. I told you to stop. I’ll stumble.” I said once again but as what he did before, he just ignored my word. What the heck is he thinking?
“Zachary!” I warned him. He stopped walking and look at me. Oh, finally.
“Are you saying something?” He asked me. My eyebrow furrowed and glared at him.
“No, I’m not saying anything.” I sarcastically said.
He stared at me for a few seconds before chuckling lightly. He pulled me closer to him.
“Cute, I like it when you’re being sarcastic.” He asked amusedly. What? How weird, he liked it when I’m b*itching him out? That’s really odd.
I put my hand on his chest and pushed him away. I smiled sarcastically.
“And I hate too when you’re being clingy.” I answered back.
“That’s strange, most of the girls I know wanted their mate to be close at them.” I gave him a look.
“Do I look like the other girls you’re talking about?” I said while rising an eyebrow. He shook his head.
“No, you’re far from them. You’re mysterious and feisty.” He replied. Is that a compliment? Anyway, why are we talking about this nonsense matter? We need to prepare for tonight, aren’t we?
I just rolled my eyes on him. I seriously don’t understand him until now. Men, it’s complicated to understand.
I shrugged my shoulder and turned my back on him. He’s nonsense to talk with sometime.
“Wait, where are you going?” I heard him asked me.
“To hell, are you going with me?” I answered without looking at hm.
He chuckled and walked next to me.
“Sure, I’m willing to go there just to be with you.” I cringe because of what he said. That’s… that’s cheesy.
“Funny,” I replied and walked faster. He chuckled and didn’t talk anymore. I just head out to our room since I don’t know where should I really go.
I don’t need to prepare for tonight, I’m always prepared. As I entered to the bed room I quickly lay down on the bed. I didn’t get some sleep last night, and one more thing… I used my power and ability again so I’m a little tired.
I think I need to take some nap?
He slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.
“What are you thinking?” He asked me.
I shook my head and answered nothing without looking at him.
“I don’t believe you.”
“Then don’t believe me.” I replied and closed my eyes.
I feel him lay down beside me.
“You don’t want to say it? I know something is bothering you.” I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. Am I thinking about something? My mind is blank.
“I seriously not thinking something.” I answered again.
He let out a sigh.
“You hate me that much?” He asked me. Oh, is he going to start this topic? Hate him? No, I don’t hate him. I despise him, for threating me bad before, for hurting my wolf, for rejecting me and for not knowing who I am.
So yeah, I don’t hate him. Instead of saying those things to him, I remained silent.
“Talk to me, please.” Surprisingly, he can say please now. I still didn’t talk.
“Alizah.” He even called my name.
I closed my eyes again. I don’t have the mood to talk, all I wanted to do is to sleep.
“Alright then, sleep for now we will talk later.” He was about to leave the bed when I stopped him. I don’t know why I did that.
I hold his hand.
“Stay.” That was the one word escaped from my lips.
“You wanted me to stay?” He asked me uncertainly.
“Have rest too,” I told him and let go of his hand. I heard him sigh and lay down beside me again.
“Okay.” What’s wrong with me? I hate him but I wanted him to stay? I turned my back on him.
No one dared to talk.
I let out a sigh and arranged myself on the bed. I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. he’s right, there’s so many things inside my mind. I’m bother about the war tonight, about my vision, about everything.
Why reality is too damn chaotic and complicated?
We stayed that way for how many hours. Damn, I think we are wasting time here. I was about to talk when I feel him get up so I stay still and pretended asleep.
“I honestly don’t know what happened tonight. If I won’t able to survive, I wanted you to know I’m sorry.” He whispered in my ear. He caressed my hair and then k*issed my forehead.
After that, he got off the bed and leaved the room. I heard the door clicked, meaning to say he already left. I opened my eyes and asked myself “What was that?”
I get off the bed also, I’m kinda hungry. I remember I didn’t take my breakfast and lunch. I took a d*eep breath and leaved the room also.
I walked towards the kitchen, when I got there. I saw Zandea, she’s cooking. No one is around except her.
“Hey.” She greeted when she saw me. I smiled slowly and approached her.
“Hey.” I response and sat on a stool.
“Are you hungry?” She asked me.
“Yeah.” I simply answered.
“You go in the right place. I’m almost done, just stay still. We will share what I cook.” She bubbly said.
I nodded my head and mumbled thank you. After a few minutes, she’s done cooking and serving the food on the table.
“Come on.” She invited me. I get off the stool and went closer to the table inside the kitchen.
I smiled when her dishes smell delicious. She’s really a great cook.
“Smells divine.” I complimented. She smiled widely.
“I’m glad you like it.” She happily said.
“Welcome, your mate is lucky to have you.”
“Oh, stop flattering me. I’m shy.” As she said that she laughed. I just chuckled softly.
“Anyway, let’s start eating.” She continued and sat on the chair opposite to mine.
I nodded my head.
“Ah Harper?” She called my attention, I stopped putting food on my plate and glanced at her.
“Yes?” I asked.
“Since your possessive mate aren’t here, can I ask… where did you go last night? Why did you disappear?” she asked me, curiously.
Smiled at her.
“I’ll tell the reason after we’re done eating.” I answered. She nodded her head in understanding.
“Okay. I understand it.” She replied.
