The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 111

Luke's POV

It's been weeks since Alissa left.

Yet again, I was the reason why she ran away.

I haven't properly slept, ate or did anything since the day she left.

Since the day she broke our bond.

I can still feel the pain inside of me and every night, I dream of that moment.

I remember writhing in pain and I remember seeing Alissa's eyes before she left.

I remember screaming her name and begging her to come back but she didn't.

For whatever reason, I couldn't resist the pain the way she did when she stood up and walked away from me.

But then again, it's Alissa, my wife.

I stared at Alissa's photo in my desk.

The search has been on going for weeks as well and it would've been easy if mom knew where Ali was.

But even my mom didn't know.

Mom couldn't see where she was or sense what she was doing.

Everyone was clueless of her where abouts.

She didn't leave any clues on where she was going or what she planned on doing when she left.

It seemed like she just packed her bags, left and completely disappeared from our lives just like that. But I wasn't giving up.

I'll replace her no matter what and mend our bond.

In mean time, my ex has been thrown out to the dungeons.

We also found out where the group of rogues she used to attack the Palace were located.

We caught most of them and we're still chasing down the other rogues who made a run for it.

I'll get every single one of them and make them pay for threatening my wife and causing her to miscarry our child.

I sighed as I put my head on my hand.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

The door opened and Lucas came inside.

"Dinner is ready" he said.

Like everyone else in my family, Luca looked dull because of Ali's absence.

He glanced at me once then looked away.

"You're still upset with me" I stated.

After that day and after I was found in the woods passed and was rushed to the hospital, I was forced to tell my family what happened and what the situation was. Everyone was mad and disappointed at me when they found out but most specially Lia, Lucas and Axel.

I couldn't blame them. I'd be angry at me too.

Lucas and I actually got into a fight a little after I got out of the hospital because of it.

"If I could beat you up again, I would" he said and I sighed.

"Get your a-s up and go down. Mom, dad and that kid are waiting for you" he said then walked out of the room.

I looked at Ali's photograph again.

"I deserve this, I know" I said.

I got up from my chair and made my way out of my office and walked downstairs to the dining room.

I arrived at the dining room to see my parents and a little boy between them.

I stopped for a moment as I looked at them.

My parents were attending to his needs but they didn't look all that happy.

My mom glanced my way. She didn't smile at me, she just looked.

Then, Dad looked at me.

"Luke, join us and look after Archie" he said.

I walked over to them and sat beside Archie.

I started feeding him and entertaining him as I took a few bites of my own food.

"Papa" he said but instead of feeling happy, I felt guilty.

Archie has been here for only a week.

I see him thrice a day during meal time, sometimes four times when he's about to sleep at night for not more than an hour at most each time. He's usually being taken care of the helpers or my parents.

Lucas and Lia does not join us during meal time and they rarely interact with Archie.

Archie is my ex's kid...and mine.

I stared at him as I fed him.

He had black hair and green eyes like mine and that was the only resemblance we had.

When I first met him before my wedding, we took a DNA test and it was positive.

Still, he didn't feel like my kid.

I know how unfair it must be. He's just a child after all.

I finished feeding him and a helper came to clean him up.

After a few more bites, I excused myself and left.

Instead of going back to my office, I went to the woods.

I walked to the spot where Ali's tree was.

I sat down and looked up.

I hoped I could see her up in the branches of the tree but I knew that was impossible.

She's gone and she's not coming back anytime soon.

And it's all my fault.

I closed my eyes as tears fell from my eyes but I quickly wiped them away.

Then, I heard rustling and when I looked, I saw Bry come out of the bushes.

"Bryan" I said and stood up.

He looked at me for a moment.

"Did my sister return yet?" he asked.

My heart squeezed inside of my chest.

"Not yet" I told him.

Bryan sighed and he walked over to me and sat down by the tree as well.

"When do you think she'll be back?" he asked.

I bit my lower lip.

"I don't know. I'm sorry" I said.

Bry sighed again then he looked at me.

Suddenly, he teared up.

"She promised me that she'd stay for good. Is she really leaving me again?" he asked.

I felt like my heart was being torn apart.

I didn't know what to tell him or how to comfort him.

"She's coming back right? It doesn't matter if she takes a long time ad long as she comes back. Please make her come back" he cried.

All I could do was console him as a tear fell from my own eye.

Everyone is suffering because of Alissa's absence.

And I'm the reason for her absence.

Bryan ended up falling asleep because he was so tired.

I carefully lifted him up and then walked to the cabins to tale him home.

I felt guilty and nervous as I made my way to their house.

I'm sure Alissa's mom is home.

What will I say when I see her?

Should I apologize again?

On top of that, it wasn't a good look that I was carrying her unconscious son back to their home without some kind of context.

I reached their house and I stood there and gulped.

I nudged on the door and waited for someone to open it.

I contemplated on leaving Bry by the door but that wasn't right, was it?

The door opened revealing Ali's mom.

"Your highness" she said and was a bit stunned to see me holding Bry.

"He fell asleep in the woods while crying" I said guilty.

She sighed and opened the door wider.

"Can you please lay him down in his bed upstairs?" she said.

I nodded.

I went in and upstairs to Bry's room.

I went to his room and laid him down on his bed.

I removed his flip flops and tucked him in.

I looked at him for a moment and sighed.

I wish I could do something else but I knew better.

I know that nothing that I can offer is what Bryan needs.

What he needs is her sister back.

Right now, I can't give him that.

That was also what I need and I need to work even harder to get it.

To get her to come back.

I sighed and got out of Bry's room.

Then, I saw Alissa's room.

I instinctively walked over to it and I stood there for a moment before opening it and going inside.

Her scent still lingered in the room although she hasn't stayed here for a long time.

I looked at her stuff and then closed my eyes and breathed in her scent.

I miss her so much.

We all do.

Then suddenly out of the blue, I felt an unbearable pain shot through my body.

I gasped as I felt to my knees and clenched on my chest.

Then, it got worse and I screamed in pain as I fell to the floor and writhed in pain.

It was like the time when Alissa cut our bond.

What's happening?

I screamed in pain as it got worse and worse.

Axel and Alissa's mom came rushing inside the room and saw me on the floor.

Their eyes widened as they went to me.

I closed my eyes as I curled into a ball as the pain kept getting worse by the second.

"What's happening to you?" Axel said with a concerned expression.

I shook my head.

"I d-dont know" I muttered.

I looked at Alissa's mom and I watched as her expression from worry to dread.

Then, she stepped back as her eyes filled with tears.

Axel looked at her and came to her.

"What's wrong?" Axel asked her.

She looked at him then at me and then she burst into tears and Axel held her.

"What's wrong?" Axel asked again as she held her.

She lifted her head and looked at me as tears streamed down her face.

"She's gone" she said.

And then there was darkness.
