The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 144

Alissa Soleil's POV

I felt like fainting.

I was suddenly light-headed and nauseated.

I sat down on the toilet bowl in the cubicle for support.

Then, tears streamed down my face.

I didn't expect this to happen at all.

I didn't know what to feel.

I didn't even know why I was crying.

Maybe from shock?

It took me a while to recover and I wiped my tears away.

I got out of the cubicle and washed my face with water.

I took a deep calming breath and looked at myself in the mirror.

Ma and Bry are still waiting for me so I can't be like this.

I also promised to have dinner with Cal.

Right now, I have to empty my mind and I can think about what I'll do once I'm more stable.

I wiped my face with my handkerchief then went out of the bathroom.

Bry was there waiting outside the women's bathroom.

"Ali, are you okay?" he asked.

I nodded.

"I had diarrhea, sorry" I lied.

"What's happening to you? Earlier, you were nauseated and now, you have diarrhea. Shouldn't you get checked?" he said worried. "Oh I'll be fine. Must be mild food poisoning" I lied again.

"Then, you really should get checked" he said.

"Bry, I'm a doctor. I'll go to the hospital if I think I'm incapable of handling it and if I think my life is in danger okay?" I said.

Bry sighed and nodded then we met up with Ma who was just right outside.

"Are you okay, dear? You took quite some time in the bathroom" Ma asked.

"I'm fine, Ma" I said with a smile and held her arm.

"Let's go home. I'm sure it's been a tiring day and I still have to meet up with Cal over dinner" I said.

Ma nodded.

We walked out of the mall together and went to the parking lot then got inside the car.

I drove back home and we were quiet in the car since we were all tired from the whole day at the mall.

We arrived at home and we got out and headed inside the house.

"I'll took a quick shower and prepare to leave. Cal will be here in an hour to pick me up" I said and gave Ma a kiss.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Bry asked again and I nodded and gave him a kiss on the cheek as well.

"You guys should rest" I said and headed to my room.

My knees weakened after I closed the door.

It wasn't nice lying to Bry and Ma.

But I didn't know how to tell them yet.

I haven't even processed it myself.

I need time.

I went ti the bathroom and I took a quick shower.

I quietly cried as the water streamed down my body.

After that, I dried myself off and wore a robe as I git out of the bathroom.

I blow dried my hair.

Then, I wore a black backless draped caki dress paired with white high heeled sandals.

I straightened my hair and did my makeup.

I stared at myself in the mirror.

Right now, I need to be okay.

Even if it's just an act.

I can't bother anyone with my personal problem at the moment.

I took a deep breath and grabbed a new purse thenout my necessities there.

My phone beeped and I checked it to see a message from Cal.

From: Cal

I just arrived. I'm in front of your house.

I grabbed my purse and went out of my room.

Bry was in the living room.

"Your date has arrived" he said as he took a sip of his drink.

"It's not a date and yeah, I know. He texted me" I said.

"I'll be home right after dinner. You should really rest" I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

"Don't stay out too long" he said and I chuckled and nodded.

I got out of the house and saw Cal waiting for me.

He smiled when he saw me.

"You look stunning" he said.

"Thank you" I said.

"Shall we?" he said and I nodded as he opened the car door for me.

I saw Bry by the door watching us and I waved him goodbye before getting inside.

Cal got in the driver's seat and once we were settled in, we drove off.

I put some music on as I looked out.

I spaced out a little.

"Soleil" Cal said.

"Yes?" I asked.

Cal glanced at me then he sighed.

"Nevermind. I'll tell you later" he said.

It was weird but I just nodded.

After some time, we reached the restaurant and Cal got off first and opened the door for me.

Then, he offered his arm for me to hold and I accepted it.

We walked inside and took the elevator to go up to the restaurant.

Cal seemed nervous and anxious.

I could feel it but I didn't want to ask him why.

We reached the floor and got off.

We were welcomed inside and led to our seat.

The view was breathtaking.

"Wow" I muttered.

"Do you like it?" Cal asked.

I nodded.

"Of course I do" I said with a smile.

Cal smiled.

"I'm glad" he said.

I smiled back at him and we ordered our food.

I looked at the view again.

I can see the stars and the city lights.

It all looked so beautiful.

I was suddenly reminded of Reeva.

I wondered which star she was in the night sky.

Then, I was again reminded of the life inside my stomach right now.

This wasn't the right time to get pregnant but I had no intention of abortion.

It doesn't matter if Luke and I aren't in a relationship and if we won't be together.

I'm keeping the child and I'm going to raise it on my own if I have to.

But I will still have to tell Luke.

He deserves to know.

I'm not going to keep this child away from him. He's still the father after all.

I sighed.

"You okay?" Cal asked and I nodded.

"I'm fine" I said and gave Cal a small smile.

"Are you?" I asked.

Cal didn't answer but he only smiled at me.

Our food came and we started eating.

"Why the sudden dinner invitation?" I asked.

Cal looked at me and he gulped.

I looked at him curiously.

"Soleil, I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time" he said and he out down his utensils.

Cal took a deep breath and I stared into my eyes.

"I-" he was about to say but bith of our phones rang.

My brows furrowed and Cal and I glanced at each other.

Then, we checked our phones at the same time.

My eyes widened and our eyes met.

"We need to get to the hospital" we both said.

We got up and Cal called a waiter and left the payment and tip on the table to settle our meal.

Then, we rushed out of the restaurant.

We took the elevator and anxiously waited to get down.

"Could there be a better timing?" he said annoyed.

I chuckled.

"We can always have dinner again, you know" I said.

Cal looked at me ans sighed.

Then, the elevator finally reached the ground floor and we rushed out of there.

We got to Cal's car and he drove off immediately.

He drove fast to get us to the hospital and after only minutes, we arrived in front of the hospital.

We both got off and ran inside.

Cal even held my hand for support because of what I was wearing.

"Dr. Williams. Dr. Ellis. Thank ghad you're both here" a nurse said when they saw us.

"Give us a minute to change. We'll be in the ER with everyone soon" Cal said.

I rushed to the locker room and Cal rushed to his office to get changed.

I quickly got changed into scrubs and replaced my footwear with something more comfortable.

Then, I ran to the ER and Cal was just right behind me.

There were multiple casualties after a car accident with 2 busses involved and a few private cars.

We treated the patients and it was a very hectic night.

We barely took a bite of our food but I can't even complain.

This is part of our job after all.

We finished attending and treating patients a little pass midnight.

I slumped at the chair beside a vending machine.

Cal came as well and he got 2 sodas at the vending machine and gave one to me.

Then, he sat beside me.

"Next time, dinner is on me" I said and drank the soda Cal gave me.

Cal didn't say anything for a moment.

"It wasn't supposed to be just dinner" Cal said.

I looked at him.

"Really? What's it actually supposed to be?" I asked confused.

Were we celebrating something.

Cal stared straight into my eyes.

"I was supposed to confess my feelings, Soleil" he said.

I froze on my seat.

I didn't know what to say.

Cal sighed.

"I didn't want to confess like this. I wanted it to be special" he said.

I gulped and he looked at me agan.

"I'm sorry" he said.

I bit my lower lip.

"Cal..." I said and he looked at me waiting for what I have to say.

"I'm sorry too" I said.

"Why? Are you rejecting me already?" he asked with an awkward chuckle.

I pursed my lips.

"I'm pregnant" I told him.

I watch as his face turned into one of shock then I saw pain.

"It's Luke's" I said and he gulped as his fist clenched.

There was silence.

"Does he know already?" he asked as his jaw clenched.

"No. Not yet. I only found out earlier before going home. You're the first person who knows" I said as I teared up.

Then, a tear escaped my eye.

Cal's face softened as he saw me and he gently pulled me to him and hugged me.

"I'm scared" I cried as I hugged him.

"It's okay. It's going to be okay" Cal cooed as he caressed my back.

I cried to him for a while.

Once, I calmed down, I looked at him again.

"I'm sorry, Cal but I don't deserve you. At this point, I don't think I deserve anyone" I said.

Cal held my face.

"Don't say that" he said and sighed.

"You deserve everything and more" he said and a tear escaped his eye.

Then, he hugged me again.

"I love you" he whispered.

I hugged him tighter.

After that, Cal and I got dressed again and were about to go home.

We got out of the hospital and then I saw him.

Luke.

I saw Luke by the parking lot leaning on a black car.

He lifted his head and looked at me.

Our eyes met and I felt like my knees were gonna go weak.

What is he doing here?

"Is that your ex?" Cal asked with furrowed brows.

I nodded.

"What is he doing here?" Cal asked again.

"I don't know either" I said.

Luke walked over to us and Cal stood in front of me.

Luke stopped and he looked at Cal and raised his brow at him.

"Cal" I said and pulled him aside.

Cal still stayed by my side.

Then, I looked at Luke.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Luke.

"Lia, Lucas and I came to visit" he said.

Oh.

He's with Lia and Lucas.

"They're waiting for you at your house now. Will you make them wait for you longer?" he said.

"What?" Cal spat and stepped forward but I pulled him back again.

"We had an emergency at work. Don't talk to me like that because it's not like I knew you guys were coming" I said annoyed.

Luke

sighed.

"Let's just go" he said.

Cal looked at me.

"Let me take you home" Cal said.

"I'm taking her" Cal said glaring at Cal.

I held Cal's arm and gently squeezed it.

"It's fine. You should go homr. It's been a tiring night" I said.

Cal was still hesitant but I gave him a look and he sighed and nodded.

"I'll see you at work" Cal said and hugged me before walking away.

I saw Luke's jaw clenched and we walked over to his car and I got in without a word.

Luke also got inside and he seemed pissed off.

We drove away and I looked out of the window.

I didn't expect to see Luke so soon.

Was I ready to tell him about the pregnancy.

I don't think so.

The only reason I was able to tell Cal was because of his sudden confession and I felt the need to let him know the truth.

The car ride home was quiet.

When we arrived at home, I immediately got out and walked towards the house.

Luke caught up to me and he held my arm and pulled me to him.

"What?" I asked.

Luke just looked at me and his jaw clenched.

"Does it feel good?" he said.

My brows furrowed at him.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Does it feel nice being with that guy?" he said and I could see the pain in his eyes as he asked that.

I couldn't answer him.

"Does it feel good seeing me in pain, Alissa?" he said then his eyes teared up.

I gulped as I felt like my heart was being squeezed inside of my chest.

"Do I really not have a chance? Do we not have a chance?" he asked as his voice broke and tears streamed down his face.

A tear escaped my eye as well.

"Do you really not love me anymore?" he said.

Again, I couldn't answer that.

Luke let me go as he stepped back.

"Is that why you keep avoiding me? Why you keep pulling away? Is he the reason?" he continued.

Luke scoffed.

It hurts seeing him like that specially since I know that I was the reason why he was hurting so much.

"I'm sorry" he said wiping his tears away.

I wanted to say something.

Then, he turned his back on me and was about to walk away.

"I'm pregnant" I blurted out.

Luke stopped and froze at his spot.

I bit my lower lip.

"I'm pregnant and it's yours" I said.

Luke slowly turned around with a shocked expression.

Then, the door to the house opened and I saw the shocked expression on everyone's face.

Oh I messed up.

I messed up bad.
