The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 137

Alissa Soleil's POV

"Ali, are you okay?" Lia asked worried as she went to me.

The kids weren't with her.

"I'm fine. It was just a little argument" I lied.

"Argument about what?" she asked confused.

"Oh just some things. You know that Luke and I disagree on a lot of things" I said with a shrug.

She looked at me with a raised brow and then her eyes suddenly shifted to my hand.

Her brows slowly furrowed and I followed her gaze only to see the red mark on my upper arm and wrist from when Luke grabbed me.

I hadn't realized Luke even left a mark.

Yes, his grip was strong but I was used to different kinds of pain from the past so even as a human, I could tolerate it.

I immediately hid my whole arm behind me.

"It'll go away in minutes. Don't pay too much attention to it" I said.

"Don't pay too much attention to it? Alissa, my brother caused that" she said upset.

"It doesn't even hurt" I told her.

Lia scoffed.

"Stop it, Ali. Where's Luke? I'm going to give him a piece of my mind" she growled lowly and I immediately held her to stop.

"Let me go, Ali. I don't appreciate my brother's attitude today!" she said angrily.

I kept holding her.

Then, suddenly, she winced and held her stomach.

"Lia" I said and looked at her worried.

"This is why you shouldn't get too riled up" I said holding her.

"Calm down" I said softly and she glanced at me.

"I really am okay" I assured her.

"Come on. Let's go to the living room and take a sit. Stress is not good for you" I said and O helped her walk to the living room. We went to the living room and I calmed Lia down.

Then, the kids came with Eero and they sat beside Lia while checking up on her.

Once Lia calmed down, she pulled me to the kitchen to continue breakfast with her so I did.

After that, we watched a movie together and ate lunch in the living room while watching a movie.

We spent our time like that until Lia had to rest and her kids joined her.

I went to my room and when I entered I looked around.

I won't be seeing this room for a long time after tomorrow.

I gathered my used clothes and my other clothes that I had out.

I put the used ones in a separate bag and I folded the rest.

I looked at my luggage as I started packing for my leave.

I wanted to prepare my things beforehand instead of doing it last minute.

I still have the rest of the day to spend with my family and my friends here in the Palace.

And then I'm off to the city tomorrow.

I will miss everyone here but I have a separate life in the city now.

I did promise to visit occasionally.

I also promised to bring Ma and maybe even Calum here at some point.

Everyone also promised to come and visit me in the city which was nice.

I sat down on the bed as I folded the last few clothing that I had and put them inside the luggage.

After that, I closed my luggage and looked at the time.

It was still early in the afternoon.

Lia and the kids are resting, my brother js at work and my parents had to go out to run an errand.

That's why I have a bit of spare time without them.

I headed to the bathroom and decided to take a quick shower just because.

I got inside the shower and did just that.

After that, I dried myself on and put a robe on.

I got out of the bathroom and almost jumped in surprise when I saw Luke by the bed.

What is he even doing here?

"You're going to be the death of me. What are you doing here?" I said as I walked passed him and grabbed my clothes beside him. "Can we talk?" he asked.

"About what?" I said.

I thought we already talked earlier.

Luke just looked at me for a moment.

"You know what" he said seriously.

I bit the inside of my bottom lip.

Then, I sighed.

"Didn't we already talk about it earlier?" I said.

Luke looked at me with sad eyes.

I sighed.

"Can we just not? We both know that our 'talk' will only turn into an argument" I said.

"Luke, I have less than 24 hours here in the Palace. Can't we just not do that?" I said.

"Then, do you want me to act like nothing happened last night?" he said slightly raising hia voice now.

"Yes. Do that. That's what I'll do to" I said.

"You know I can't do that" he said.

"Why? Why can't you?" I said frustrated.

"Do you really don't know why?" he said standing up now.

He looked at me intensely.

"No, Luke. I don't know why. I can do it so why can't you-" I said but was cut off even before I could finish.

"Because I'm still in love with you, Alissa!" he shouted at me.

Then, there was silence as I looked at him in surprise.

Luke sighed as he massaged the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"I'm still in love with you. I always have and I always will. Even after everything that has happened" he said looking into my eyes.

I couldn't respond to that.

I could only look at him.

"It doesn't matter if our bond was severed. I don't want anyone else but you. Just you" he said.

"My biggest mistake was letting myself believe that I'd be okay without you and that I can have anyone else but no" he continued still staring into my eyes.

"No one compares to you. No one even comes close. It's just you. That hasn't changed since I met you. Not even after 13 years of being apart" he said.

I bit the inside of my lower lip.

"What happened last night might not be special to you but it was to me. It might me a mistake to you but to me, it wasn't" he continued.

"It might just be sex to you but it isn't to me. Everything that we do together, it's special to me even if it isn't to you" he said.

"Because I love you. And I will keep loving you. Even if you no longer want me" he said sadly

I felt a squeeze inside my chest.

"Luke..." I said.

"You don't have to feel the same way. At least not now. Maybe not sokn either" he said.

"But I will pursue you, Alissa. It doesn't matter where you are or what your doing. I'll replace ways to make you feel my love for you. One way or another" he stated.

I gulped.

"I don't think this is a good idea" I muttered.

"It doesn't matter. It's up to me anyway" he said.

There was a moment of silence again.

What is Luke thinking?

I did not expect this at all.

I sighed.

Then suddenly, there was a loud knock on my door.

My brows furrowed as I walked over to the door but Luke suddenly stopped me.

"You're only wearing your robe" he said.

I looked at myself and realized that I was indeed just in my robe.

"I'll get it. Go get changed in the bathroom" he said.

I didn't complain and just went to the bathroom with my clothes while he went to get the door.

I slipped into a a beige cable textured tank top and shorts then as I was wearing my fkat sandals, someone knocked on the bathroom door. "Alissa"

It was Luke.

"Who was it and what did they need?" I asked.

"It's Liana" he said.

I immediately opened the bathroom door.

"What about Liana?" I asked worried.

Then, I saw Eero behind Luke.

"She's experiencing extreme discomfort. She said she's been having one contraction after another" Eero explained.

I nodded and we all rushed to where Lia was.

We got in and I saw Lia holding onto the chair and while also holding her belly as ahe grunted in pain.

She looked in my direction and I was about to walk to her.

"Ali" she said and as soon as my name left her mouth, her face expression changed and I noticed something started dripping down her legs.

My eyes slightly widened at the realization of what it was.

"My water broke" she said with wide eyes.

"Your water broke" I said at the same time as Lia.

I rushed to her and so did Eero as we walked her to her bed carefully.

"I'll call a doctor over" Luke said as he stepped out.

Lia groaned in pain as he clenched on Eero's collar.

"The baby's coming!" Lia said.

Eero's eyes widened.

"The doctor isn't here yet" he said with a a panicked look.

"I'm a doctor" I stated and they both looked at me in realization.

I looked at Liana.

"If you trust me enough, I can deliver your baby. This is your 3rd one so I don't think we can wait for a werewolf doctor because the baby is going to come out fast" I told her.

"You aren't trained to-" Eero was about to protest but Lia suddenly pulled his hair.

"It's not your choice to make. It's mine so shut up" Lia said annoyed followed by a grunt.

Then, she looked at me.

"I trust you" she said.

I nodded then Luke came inside the room and I turned to look at him.

"I'm delivering Lia's baby. I need you to go to my room, open my luggage and grab the dark gray bag that has my medical tools. NOW" I said.

Luke's eyes widened but he immediately left running to get my things.

Lia screamed in pain.

"Ali, he's really coming!" she shouted and I turned to Eero.

"Follow everything I'm going to say" I said.

He gulped and nodded.

We started quickly preparing Lia for her delivery in the bedroom.

The kids were thankfully in the other room so they wouldn't be able to witness all of this.

I also quickly prepared myself the delivery and Luke came and we prepped my tool.

Everything was ready and I was too.

Luke and Eero were beside Lia and I was the only one below her

Eero was holding Lia and Luke was waiting to assist me in whatever I needed.

I looked at Lia.

"Let's start" I said and she nodded weakly.

We started to deliver the baby.

Thankfully, the baby wasn't in a rough position.

"Push, Lia. Push" I said.

Liana pushed with a shout.

"More. Lia, push" I said.

Lia pushed again.

She kept pushing until I finally saw the baby's head.

"I see the head, Lia. We're getting there. You're doing good. Now, push" I said and Lia pushed once more.

She kept pushing and I did what I had to do.

"Lia, last one, push!" I said.

Lia pushed one last time with a scream and I got the baby out.

Lia sighed in relief and everyone else in the room did.

But I didn't as I held Lia's child.

He wasn't breathing.

"Why isn't he crying?" Lia asked.

I gulped.

"Ali" she said in a panicked tone.

I did what I needed to do to revive the baby.

"Ali" Lia started crying.

"What's happening?" Eero asked.

I couldn't answer them.

When my first method didn't work, I laid the baby down and started doing CPR.

"Oh my ghad!" Lia cried as she watched me try to revive her pup.

"Alissa" Luke said but I ignored him as I continued doing CPR.

The door burst open but I didn't look.

"Our son!" Eero said and suddenly someone went beside me but I didn't look at them.

"Your majesty" a female voice said.

"He's unresponsive. I need you to prepare to assist" I said as I continued.

Then, I returned my focus on the baby

"Come on, buddy. Don't do this to auntie Ali" I said.

I can still hear Lia's cries and I wasn't about to give up.

We did everything we could but still nothing.

"Oh ghad! Oh ghad oh ghad! My baby!" Lia cried.

I was sweating like crazy now.

It was way pass the standard reviving time.

"Buddy, please" I muttered.

"Your majesty, we don't think-"

Suddenly, the baby's color started to change and then he started crying.

I sighed in relief as I stepped back.

"Oh my ghad! My baby!" Lia said as they too sighed in relief.

My knees weakened and I felt like falling but someone held me as I watched the other doctor check the baby's stat.

Then, she glanced at me and gave me an approving nod.

I sighed in relief and Luke held me up.

Oh ghad.

That was intense.
