The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 120

Alissa Soleil's POV

I looked out the window of the car.

Calum was also quiet as he stared at the car window.

We're an hour and a half away from our hotel and we were being drove there by wolves.

I scooted over to Calum and laid my head on his chest.

Cal wrapped his arm around me and held me protectively.

I felt it not only calmed me down but also calmed him down.

After some time, we reached the hotel and Cal and I got out.

"Thank you. I hope Katie gets better soon" I said and they bowed their head before leaving.

Cal and I walked back inside the hotel and I held his arm.

We were both still quiet as we made our way to the elevator and got off on our room's floor.

We walked to our room and got inside.

Then, Cal turned to look at me.

"I need to know everything. I want to understand" he said.

I bit my lower lip and nodded.

"First, we need to wash up" I said.

Cal sighed and nodded.

We took turns washing up and then after that, we both sat on my bed.

Calum looked at me waiting to say something.

I took a deep breath and started.

I told him my story from the very beginning.

From my birth, my birth parents, how my dad actually die, how my mom found another mate, how we moved to the Palace, how I left the palace, how I became a rogue, how I found another pack, how my mate aka ex found me, how I was forced to move back, how we always fought, how we got married, how we got together, how I was crowned, how I got pregnant, how I miscarried, how I was betrayed, how I rejected Luke, how I left, how I traveled to the city to how I met Ma, to how I died, to how I was resurrected, to how I changed my identity to how I went to college and started a new life up until now.

It was a lot to take in but Calum was taking it all so well.

He asked a lot of questions in between and I expected him to ask.

"Wow" he said still processing everything.

"You've been through a lot" he said.

I nodded.

"I have" I said.

Cal looked me and pulled me to him gently.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all that" he said.

I smiled a little as I hugged him back.

After that, I sat back down and took a deep breath.

"Earlier in that pack we were at" I said.

"You remember the guy who got out of Katie's room?" I said.

Calum nodded.

"What about him?" he asked.

I bit my lower lip.

"Calum, that was the King of werewolves" I said.

"He's also my ex" I said and his eyes slightly widened.

"Oh" he said.

"So that was why you seemed uneasy?" he said.

I nodded.

"No wonder. I was confused how you were unfazed with a sword by your throat but seemed flustered to see him" he said.

I blushed in embarrassment.

Then, Cal held my face.

"Thank you for telling me all of this" he said.

I smiled a little.

"Thank you for still accepting me" I said.

Cal smiled and he leaned in to give me a kiss on my forehead.

Then, I yawned and Calum chuckled.

"We should rest" he said and I nodded.

Cal laid down on my bed then pulled me to him and wrapped me in his arms.

"Just for tonight" he muttered.

I bit my lower lip and nodded as I snuggled to him.

Then, we both fell asleep in that position.

I suddenly woke up when I sensed something.

I carefully slipped out of Calum's arms and got off the bed.

I looked around and then walked over to the hotel room door.

Then, I caught a familiar scent along with the sound of footsteps.

My heart thumped inside of my chest nervously as the footsteps became louder and louder.

What is he doing here?

Does he know?

He can't possibly know.

He wasn't able to look at my face nor he caught my werewolf scent.

I only ever smelled like a werewolf when I was in my wolf form and never in my human form unlike in the past.

He didn't see my wolf either so he can't possibly know.

Then, the footsteps stopped just in front of our door.

My jaw clenched and I glanced at Calum who was sleeping.

He can't see him.

Calum can't see Luke.

And Luke can't see Calum.

I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes before opening the door.

Then, I opened my eyes and I met the familiar set of green eyes infront of me.

Luke's eyes widened when he saw me and I stepped forward shoving him back as I closed the hotel room door behind me.

I looked at his men as he looked at me with a stunned expression.

The guards took a good look at me and their eyes slightly widened as well.

"You guys are with those people earlier, aren't you?" I said and didn't look at Luke.

I sighed when no one answered and I massaged the bridge of my nose.

"Please, leave. You don't belong here" I said and then turned my back on them to go back to my room.

But then, Luke caught my wrist and his touch felt like I got burned.

I instinctively pushed him back and held him by the neck as his back hit the wall.

My jaw clenched as his guards took out their claws lowly growled and pointed it at me.

"Don't" Luke said in an authoritative voice.

Our eyes met and I looked at him with so much pent up anger.

Luke's eyes softened.

"Alissa" he muttered.

I immediately stepped away and my brows furrowed as I looked at him.

"What?" I said.

Luke's eyes watered as he stepped forward to me but I stepped back.

"Alissa..." he said again.

My jaw clenched once more.

"My name is Soleil Ellis. Dr. Soleil Ellis. I don't think I'm the person you're looking for" I said.

Luke's brows slightly furrowed and I sighed.

"I need you to leave and go back to your pack" I said.

"Please. I do not want any conflict with your people. I simply wanted to help that injured girl" I said and stepped back.

Luke stopped at his tracks.

"I'm sorry but it seems you have mistaken for someone else" I said.

"Please go. Before someone sees you here" I said.

Then, I turned my back on them and went back to my room.

I locked it and I leaned on the door as my knees weakened.

I closed my eyes as tears fell from my eyes.

I felt like I was out of breath.

I felt like my heart was being crushed inside my chest.

I struggled to stand up and I rushed to the bathroom.

I closed and locked the door and I held on to the sink for support.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I burst into tears.

I covered my mouth to keep myself from making a noise.

I sat on the toilet bowl as I cried.

I cried my heart out like I haven't been able to in the past 13 years.

I eventually walked to the tub, curled in a ball and kept crying.

I cried for hours without end until I eventually fell asleep because I was so tired.

I woke up to a knock on the door.

"Soleil? Are you inside?"

It was Calum.

I pushed myself up and immediately felt my body aching.

I slightly groaned.

"Soleil?" Calum called out from outside the bathroom.

"I'm here. Give me a moment. I'm in the toilet" I said.

"Oh okay. Sorry. Take your time" he said.

I slightly chuckled then got up.

I felt exhausted from crying last night.

I walked over to the mirror and was terrified to see myself.

I looked like a complete mess.

I sighed.

This is Luke's fault.

Why did I have to see him again?

Isn't the pain he caused me before already enough for another lifetime?

I shook my head in disbelief and washed my face.

Then, I hopped into the shower and I quickly showered.

I'll need more time to do my makeup to look like I have my life together.

What a lie.

I finished showering and put a robe on then washed my face again, did my skincare and started doing my makeup.

I had to put more makeup than usual since I really did look like heaven and earth fell before me.

After that, I styled my hair and I stared at myself in the mirror.

That will do for now.

Then, I opened

the door to the bathroom and Cal saw me.

He looked away.

"Sorry. I forgot to grab my clothes before showering" I lied.

Cal chuckled and stood up then walked to the bathroom while avoiding looking at me.

I walked over to my luggage to get my clothes.

"But then again, it's not like you didn't already see enough yesterday" I suddenly teased to lighten up the mood.

"Soleill" he said stunned and I laughed as he quickly closed the door.

Once Cal was out of sight, I sighed and smiled sadly.

"Ghad. I hate Luke so much" I muttered under my breath.

He managed to immediately ruin my mood by showing up.

Hopefully, he believed what I said and just leave me alone.

I got dressed into a beige solid button front shirt paired with khaki high waist wide leg jean and white sneakers.

Then, I grabbed my coat with me and also took the things I needed for today's medical outreach program.

Calum got out of the bathroom with a robe on and when our eyes met, he flushed red and looked away.

"Don't look at me" he demanded and I burst out laughing.

He blushed even more as he grabbed his clothes and rushed back to the bathroom.

He was always the one who showered first since he wakes up earlier than I do.

And after last night, he was more flustered than ever.

I got up and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Why are you suddenly embarrassed? You used to teased me in the past by getting dressed in the same room I'm in" I teased.

"Don't bring that up now" he said.

I chuckled.

"Is it because of last night? Aren't you happy we got to know each other more deeply and intimately?" I teased even more.

"Alissa Soleil Ellis" he warned and I just smiled.

I looked at the time and we still had plenty of time to meet everyone for breakfast.

"What do we tell auntie when she asks where we went to last night?" I asked..

The door to the bathroom opened and Cal slightly frowned at me and walked out of the bathroom.

I walked to my bed and sat there as I waited for him to answer.

"We can tell her that we decided to wander off, reached the main road and asked for a ride from a random car that passed us" he said.

"What is she checked on us last night and we still weren't here?" I asked further.

"We can say that we went out after getting here and toured the area then got back late at night" he said.

I nodded.

"Wow. You're really good at coming up with a believable excuse" I said.

Cal chuckled.

"You're praising me for being a good liar?" he said.

"I guess I am" I said and we both chuckled.

After that, Cal and I prepared to go downstairs.

Cal offered to carry my stuff and wouldn't settle for a no.

"Did you know that I can basically carry you effortlessly. You can add 2 more clones of yourself and I'd still be able to carry the weight without a problem. I think I can carry my own luggage" I said. Cal chuckled.

"Can you now?" he said.

I nodded.
