The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 136

Alissa Soleil's POV

I opened my eyes as the ray of sunlight hit my eyes.

After last night, I wasn't really able to sleep much.

I remembered what happened last night and pulled on my hair.

Flashback...

I woke up in the middle of the night.

I felt an arm on my torso and I gulped as realization hit me.

I moved slightly and immediately felt the pain down there.

"Sht" I cursed.

Then, the owner of the arm woke up.

"Ali, what's wrong?"

I turned my head and looked at him hoping I this was all just a dream.

But I knew it wasn't.

Luke looked at me in worry as he checked on me.

I gulped as our eyes met.

Oh ghad.

What have I done?

"Does it hurt?" he asked softly and just as he was about to touch me, I avoided him.

I winced in pain a little.

"Alissa" he sais and tried to touch me again but I stopped him.

I pulled the covers to further cover myself as I looked at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked worried.

I gulped.

"Luke..." I said.

"I think you should leave" I said.

I could see his worried expression turn into a stunned one.

"What?" he said.

"We shouldn't have done this" I said.

"We can't let anyone know this happened" I said.

As cold as it might be, I was only acting this way because I knew how wrong this one.

It's never a bright idea to sleep with your ex.

Not for me.

Not for Luke.

"Please" I begged.

His jaw tightened as he grabbed his clothes on the ground and I watched him leave upset.

I sighed as I massaged my temple in frustration.

What we did was wrong.

Luke and I aren't in a relationship anymore.

We haven't been together for 13 years.

We're exes.

How did I let this happened?

Ghad.

I'm so stupid.

I should've stopped myself.

I should've pushed him away.

I pulled on my hair in frustration.

What am I going to do?

End of Flashback...

I had s*x with my ex-husband.

How messed up is that?

I came here to visit my family, apologize to everyone and know the truth about the past.

I didn't come here to get laid.

For fvck's sake, I've only been here for a few days.

How could I have let that happen?

It's not like I drank too much at the party.

I wish I had.

Atleast if I did, I'd have an excuse why I did what I did.

I sighed.

I was supposed to leave by lunch time today but Lia begged me to stay atleast today and leave tomorrow instead.

I couldn't say no and just agreed.

Ma had no issue with it but Cal was definitely worried and anxious about the idea.

But how was I supposed to say no to my pregnant bestfriend?

I pushed myself up and sat on the bed.

I looked at my clothes and sighed.

Then, I massaged the bridge of my nose.

So many things happened last night in the party that it makes my head hurt.

I got off my bed carefully and walked to the bathroom.

I removed my clothes and got in the tub.

I needed a long peaceful bath.

I stayed in the tub for more than half an hour then I showered and got prepared for the day.

I wore a beige solid frill trim wide leg jumpsuit paired with white flat sandals.

I styled my hair into a half ponytail and I applied a little bit of makeup on my face.

Then, like usual, I grabbed my phone and sat on the bed.

I called Ma first and we had our morning chat but it didn't last too long since she and her friend had plans to attend to.

It was nice to know that Ma was spending her time with her friend so well.

Then, I dialed Calum's number.

By now, he's probably at work already.

He picked up almost immediately.

"Morning" I greeted him first.

"Good morning. How was the party last night?"

I found that question difficult to answer.

"Fine, I guess. Are you already at work?" I asked curiously.

"I am. I started my shift earlier than usual"

"Really? Why? Did you change your schedule?" I asked.

"No. I just started work earlier because ...wasn't really doing anything anyway"

I nodded in understanding.

"I forgot to ask last night why you were with Ma" I said remembering the call last night.

"I took her out for dinner last night night, that's all"

I nodded again.

"Well, that sounds nice" I commented.

Ma loves spending time with Cal as well. She really likes him a lot since he's always so nice and all.

"What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"I'm leaving after breakfast. The royal family's private jet plane will fly me back to the city. I'll probably be back home before midnight" I told him.

"My shift will be over then. Let me pick you up"

"You must be tired from work by then. I don't want to burden you by picking me up. I can always get a taxi from the airport" I said.

"I'll be fine. I'd prefer it if I come pick you up so I'm confident that you're home safely"

I sighed.

This guy won't take no for an answer when it comes to this kind of things.

"Okay, fine. I'll let you know when I'm flying back and how long I'll take to get home so you wouldn't wait too long" I said.

"Okay, sounds good to me"

"Better get back to work now. I've disturbed you enough" I said remembering he's in work.

"I have a lot of time for you, Soleil. You don't have to worry about that"

I bit my lower lip and slightly chuckled.

"Enough, Dr. Williams. Spend your spare time resting" I said.

"This is my kind of rest"

"Calum" I lightly scolded and chuckled.

"Okay okay"

"I'll hang up now. Good luck on the rest of your day" I said.

We ended the call and I flopped back to my bed.

Suddenly, I do not want to leave my room.

I sighed.

Then, there was a knock on my door and I stood up and walked over to the door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Auntie Ali, it's Asila and Eeri"

I immediately opened the door to see Asi and Eeri.

"Good morning, to both of you" I greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, auntie" Asi greeted me back with a smile.

"Good morning" Eeri shyly greeted as well and I smiled.

"What can I do for the both of you?" I asked.

"Mommy is waiting you downstairs in the dining room for breakfast" Asi told me.

I nodded.

Of course.

"Okay. Shall we go together?" I suggested and they nodded.

I closed the door to the guest room and went with Asila and Eeri.

Asi held my hand and just as we were making our way downstairs, Eeri went to my other side and held my hand.

I smiled at the gesture.

What a cute kiddo.

We made our way to the dining room and when we got there, Lia was waiting for us.

Lia smiled when she saw me.

I walked over to her.

"Good morning, gorgeous" I greeted her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Lia smiled widely.

"Good morning" she greeted me back.

Asi and Eeri already sat down on their mom's left side so I sat on Lia's left side.

We were served with food for breakfast and I anxiously looked around.

"I just realized something about you, Ali" Lia suddenly said.

I looked at her curiously.

"You were always really pretty but you definitely have a different charm and glow to you now" she commented.

I chuckled.

"Me?" I said.

Lia nodded.

"So that makes me wonder" she said.

"Wonder about what?" I asked as I took a bite of my food.

"You must atleast have a boyfriend in your life" she said eyeing me with a teasing look.

I coughed almost choking on my food.

"I mean, no offense to my brother and all but you guys quite literally broke up 13 years ago so it wouldn't be weird to have a new significant other by now" she said with a shrug.

I gulped.

Am I supposed to tell her that I've been single without any romantic relationship for 13 years?

If I tell her that and she asks me why, what reason will I give her?

That I just didn't want to be romantically involved with any man for 13 years?

"Do you?" Lia asked.

What am I going to say?

"Uhm well...about that" I said still thinking what I was going to say.

"Alissa"

Both Lia and I turned our heads as Luke marched our way.

He seemed upset about something and I had a clue what he was upset about.

I'm not assuming anything though

Just a hunch.

He stopped in front of me as he stared at me intently.

I almost gulped but didn't.

"Yes?" I asked innocently.

"Come with me. We need to talk" he said.

Or more like demanded.

"Excuse me?" Lia interrupted.

"Can't you see that we're having breakfast? And why do you look so grumpy so early in the morning? You're making me feel annoyed by looking at you" Lia said.

Luke ignored her.

"Get up" he said in an authoritative voice.

My brows furrowed when he did that.

Was he trying to dominate me just now?

Uh-uh.

"Excuse me? Did you really use that tone on me?" I said with furrowed brows.

"Yes, I did. Now, get up" he said and he grabbed me by the arm and forced me up.

His grip was strong.

"Luke, let me go" I said with a clenched jaw.

I wasn't having any of this.

I get that he's upset of me.

But I don't like how he's acting.

Specially since we aren't alone.

We were with Liana and the kids were present as well.

"Luke" Lia warned as she stood up.

"Mommy? Uncle? Auntie?" Eeri said as he and his sister watched us.

Asi stood up and from her seat and held her brother.

I looked at Lia who looked at her kids with a worried expression.

I didn't want to let them see us argue.

"We're going to step out for a moment" I told Lia.

Lia looked at me with a concerned face.

I looked at her assuring her I was fine.

Then, I pulled my arm away from Luke and I walked away and he followed.

We went to the back and as soon as we were out, I faced him and my palm landed on his face.

Luke's face turned to the side as his jaw clenched.

He looked at me with a glare as I glared back at me.

"What the fck is wrong with you?!" I said angrily.

"I get that you're upset but how could you act like that in front of your sister and your niece and nephew?!" I said as I pointed at his chest.

Luke looked at me angrily as ge grabbed my wrist.

"You're asking me what's wrong with me? Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?!" he hissed.

"Something happened to us last night, Alissa. Something special. And I thought we were doing better. Then suddenly, you're pushing me away again. Ehat the fck is that?!" he shouted.

My brows furrowed at him.

My jaw clenched as I looked him straight in the eyes.

"What happened to us was a mistake. We were wrong for going that far with each other and for letting it happen" I said.

I watched as his angry expression turned to a one in pain.

"Luke, we separated 13 years ago. You and I are not in a relationship now and we aren't even romantically involved whatsoever. What happened last night was a spur of the moment" I said. Luke let me go and he stepped back.

"That's what last night was to you?" he said.

I didn't answer.

"Tell me, Alissa. Was that what last night was to you? A spur of the moment?" he said as his eyes watered.

There it is again.

That painful pinch in the heart like last night when I looked at his pained expression.

Still...

"Yes" I answered.

Luke scoffed.

Then, he nodded as a tear fell from his eyes.

"Okay. Fine. Whatever" he said.

Then, he looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Thank you for the wild night then. I enjoyed fcking you" he said sarcastically then he turned his back on me and walked away.

I sighed as my knees weakened and I squatted down.

Ghad.

Then, I clenched on my chest at I felt a pang of pain.

Suddenly, I burst into tears and I cried quietly.

After a few moments, I pulled myself together and went back inside acting as if nothing happened.

I shouldn't let anyone know of last night.
