The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 101

Alissa's

POV

My body hurt all over but I couldn't move.

I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't.

I tried and when I did, I suddenly found myself in the forest.

I looked around but I was alone and for some reason, the whole seemed different.

It was the same forest that was always in my dreams but today, it felt different.

It looked the same but there was something else that I couldn't point out.

I felt heavy as I walked through the forest hoping to replace my wolf. Or just someone. Anyone.

I wanted to search for company but couldn't replace any.

I felt anxious and afraid and I hoped and prayed that I wake up so I could understand what was going on.

I looked around and still failed to replace anyone.

It felt like an eternity as I went through the forest, the lake, the whole land and still couldn't replace anyone.

I was alone and scared with no one to help me or guide in this familiar yet so unfamiliar place.

"Help me" I muttered as tears streamed down my face.

"Someone...anyone...please" I begged as I fell to the ground in desperation.

But no one came and I held my stomach protectively.

Then, I felt like something was different again.

My brows furrowed and my heart raced as I held my stomach.

What's happening?

What is this feeling?

More tears streamed down my face for some reason.

I stood up once again and continued to search for anyone while I held onto my stomach. Please.

When I started feeling like I was about to give up, I suddenly felt someone's presence.

I looked around again trying to replace that presence and after desperately trying to search for it, I saw a familiar back.

I stopped at my tracks as I stared at the familiar figure.

Could it be?

"Dad?" I said.

The familiar figure turned around to look at me and I immediately burst into tears when I saw who it was.

"Dad!" I said and ran to him.

My father caught me in his arms and hugged me.

"You finally found me" he said.

I sobbed as I hugged him tightly.

"You're here. You're actually here" I cried.

"I am. I'm here, love. Dad is here" my father cooed as he tried to calm me down.

I looked at my father again to make sure that it was actually him.

It was. It's him.

But that only meant one thing.

"Am I...dead?" I said.

My father shook his head.

"No, love. You're not" he assured me as he caressed my hair.

"Then how am I able to see you like this?" I asked.

"Because you need me" he said.

Another year escaped my eye as I looked at him.

"I miss you so much" I said as my voice broke once more.

"And I miss you. Every day, Alissa" he said and I hugged him again.

Ghad.

I don't know what's happening but I can't complain seeing how I'm able to be with my dad.

"Dad..." I said.

"Yes, love?" he replied.

"I'm scared" I muttered.

My dad caressed my hair.

"I know you must be" he said.

Wr stayed like that a little longer and I really didn't want to let go.

I was afraid that if I did, he'd disappear again.

"Come on. Let's replace a good spot" he said and he held my hand and we walked through the forest again.

We went to the lake and my father and I sat down beside the lake.

Everything still seemed different in a way but atleast I had my dad with me now.

I laid my head on my dad's shoulder then I touched my belly.

"Dad, did you know?" I said.

"Know what, sweetheart?" he asked.

"I'm having a baby" I said.

My dad was quiet and I raised my head to look at him.

My dad gave me a smile but it didn't reach his ears.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

My dad tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Nothing, love" he said but I knew there was something there but he refused to tell me what it was.

"Dad, is everything okay?" I asked.

Dad held my hand.

"Love, I'm sorry" he said with a worried expression.

I was confused.

The thing is, I can't remember much since I woke up in the forest.

I remember walking in the woods inside the Palace territory with my guards.

I remember that there were about 4 guards with me.

Then...there were rogues.

A lot of them.

I suddenly remembered fighting.

I remember watching my guard try to protect me to the best of his abilities.

I remember helping my guard fight.

Then, I remember blacking out.

But there was more to it and I tried to remember.

"Alissa" my father said and I looked at him.

He seemed like he wanted to tell me something but couldn't.

"Dad, what's happening?" I asked anxiously.

My father didn't answer.

"Sweetheart, I know it's tough" he said and I stood up looking around.

I need to remember.

Something happened.

Something that's not good.

I suddenly remembered a voice.

A female voice.

"If only you remained missing. This wouldn't have happened. I wouldn't have needed to do this"

Whose voice is it?

"Now, you're going to lose everything you've ever cared for"

I remember blacking out.

Then, there was also darkness.

But something else happened after but how come I can't remember it?

How come no matter how hard I try, I can't remember.

"Dad" I said as I started having a panic attack.

My dad held me.

"Dad, what's going on?" I asked crying.

My dad hugged me as he caressed my back then, I held my belly.

Then, I remembered the pain I felt in the darkness.

I felt terrified as I clenched on my clothes as I touched my stomach.

"Dad, Veera" I sobbed and my dad looked at me with a pained expression.

"I'm sorry, Alissa" he said.

Then, I woke up.

It felt like a rush as I opened my eyes and I could hear loud beeping sounds all around me.

"The Queen has woken up!" someone shouted and as I tried to breathe, I felt like I was choking with something.

Someone rushed to me and they took out a tube from my mouth.

I gasped and gagged and someone checked on me.

"Check her majesty's vitals" a doctor said.

Everyone checked on me and my eyes wandered.

I was in the hospital.

Then, my eyes landed on the doctor and I started to recognize her.

It was my doctor. The one who checks up on Reeva and I.

"Your majesty, can you hear me?" she asked and I nodded.

"Can you see me?" she asked again and I nodded once more.

Then, she held my hand.

"Can you squeeze my hand?" she asked and I tried my best to squeeze her hand but I was too weak so I could only squeeze lightly.

"Okay, good" she said and I opened my mouth to ask her something.

It was hard but I needed to know.

"O...our....b-baby" I muttered.

The doctor looked at me and I saw her gulp.

My brows furrowed and then someone barged inside the room.

"Alissa!"

It was Luke.

Luke came to me and the doctor stepped aside as Luke checked on me.

"Oh ghad. Finally. You're awake" he said while tearing up.

Then, I heard more people come in"

"Ali!" they called my name and they went to me.

Everyone was here.

I looked at Luke.

"Re....reev...Ree-va" I said.

Suddenly, everyone froze.

What's happening? Why does everyone seem in shock?

"Ali..." Luke said as he held my hand and cupped my face.

Then, I saw a tears stream down his face.

"Ali, Reeva's gone. I'm sorry" he choked out.

"Wh... what d-do you m-mean?" I asked confused.

Lia held my other hand and I looked at her.

That's when I noticed how red her eyes were.

"Ali..." she said and squeezed my hand.

"Ali, you suffered a m-miscarriage" she said.

My heart sank inside of my chest and I felt my world crumble.

No, it can't be.

My child can't be gone.

I shook my head weakly trying to deny what I just heard.

It's not true.

Reeva can't be gone. My baby hasn't even seen the world yet.

I haven't even held my baby yet.

How can she be gone?

She can't be. No. She can't.

Tears streamed down my face and everything went blurry as I heard the loud beeping sounds again and then people talking over each other.

"She's crashing! Everyone, step aside!"

Not my baby. Please. No.

Then, there was darkness.

I felt like I was drowning.

I couldn't accept it.

I didn't want to accept it.

It can't be.

I can't lose my baby.

No. Please.

I can't.

I opened my eyes again.

I tilted my head to the side and saw Luke's head beside my arm.

I forced myself to move my arm and nudged Luke.

Luke immediately woke up.

"Ali" he said and stood up.

Then, he held my harm.

"Ree...va" I muttered.

Luke looked at me with pained eyes.

I teated up as I looke at his expression.

"I'm sorry" he said.

Tears fell from my eyes and I closed my eyes ad I started sobbing.

I lost my baby.

Reeva is gone.

I cried quietly as Luke stayed by my side and held my hand.

I kept crying and crying although I didn't have much energy.

As I cried longer, I started to become numb.

Hours passed by and there were no more tears to shed.

I stared at the ceiling.

Luke tried to talk to me multiple times but his voice seemed muffled to me.

How could this happen to me?

Why did this happen to me?

Out of all the people that this could've happened to, it happened to me.

What did I do so wrong to deserve this?

Do I deserve this?

I thought I no longer had any tears left bit I guess I was wrong as I felt more tears slide on my face

I closed my eyes and remained that way.

It hurts so much.

I feel empty.

I feel like I lost a huge part of me.

And I did.

I lost my child and I don't think I will ever be able to recover from that.

I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the grief of losing my child.

My own flesh and blood.

Luke and I's baby.

I started sobbing again.

I wanted to shout.

I wanted to scream.

But I couldn't.

I just couldn't.

My body wouldn't let me.

So I cried and cried.

A doctor came to check on me and I pretended to be asleep.

The doctor left and I still pretended like O was sleeping.

"Ali, I know you're awake" Luke said.

I ignored him and just continued to pretend.

"Ali, you haven't eaten anything since you were confined. The doctor said you had to eat" he said.

Eating was not even in my mind right now.

I didn't feel hungry or sleepy.

I just felt empty and tired.

"I'll wait until you're ready, okay" Luke said with a sigh.

Then, there was silence in the room again.

I felt myself slowly slip away as time passed by and as I was constantly reminded of my loss.

I bit my lower lip and tears streamed down again.

I was already so tired.

After some time, I opened my eyes and I saw Luke sleeping beside me with his head on the bed and he was sitting on a chair.

I wondered how he felt.

He found out before I did.

Maybe that was why he was handling this better than I was.

But I could imagine how heartbroken he must be as well.

I slightly sighed and closed my eyes again.

I'm so tired.
