The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 145

Alissa Soleil's POV

I sat on a seat as I tapped my foot on the floor anxiously.

Ma was beside me and Lia, Lucas and Bry were all standing up surrounding me.

Across the room was Luke.

He was staring at me from the other side of the room while everyone else felt like they were forming a barricade around me.

"So when did it happen?" Lia asked with her arms crossed in front of his chest as he glanced at Luke then at me.

"I...uh" I stuttered because I was anxious and nervous.

"After the party in the Palace" Luke answered.

I glanced at him and he was still staring at me so I looked away.

"What?" Bry said in disbelief.

Lucas only sighed.

"You weren't going to tell me that something happened to you guys? I had to replace out when you were already pregnant?" Lia asked me in disbelief.

"Well, I didn't really-" I was about to say something when I got cut off.

"It's not her responsibility to tell you. It's her personal business and mine. Don't make her feel bad for not disclosing personal stuff with you even though you guys are bestfriends" Luke said. Lia bit her lower lip, pouted and looked away.

"What's your plan now?" Lucas asked and hw glanced at Luke and I.

"What plan? My sister isn't planning anything with her ex" Bry said annoyed.

"Suddenly I'm just an ex?" Luke said raising a brow at Bry.

Bry glared at Luke.

"If you guys leave Ali and I alone maybe we can actually talk properly" Luke pointed out.

"Luke is right" Ma suddenly spoke.

"This isn't our business. I understand that everyone is surprised and it's a confusing time but we shouldn't meddle unless asked to" Ma said. Then, she looked at me.

I bit my lower lip and they all looked at me.

"I'm sorry but I really want to be left alone right now" I said then looked at Luke.

"That includes you" I said.

Luke looked at me with a stunned expression.

"Then so be it" Ma said and she stood up.

"Soleil, Bry, go back to your rooms. Everyone else, I apologize but please leave. Maybe come back tomorrow" Ma said.

Everyone sighed and I quickly got up, hugged Ma then ran to my room.

"Ali!" Luke called for me but I already closed the door.

I locked it and I sat on the floor asl tried to catch my breath.

I felt like I just joined a marathon.

After some time, I got up and went to the bathroom.

I showered although I was so tired.

I couldn't just watch up since I probably reek of blood because of the patients earlier.

I got dressed for bed and I fell backwards on my bed.

I was exhausted.

Physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted.

So many things happened today.

I found out I was pregnant, Calum confessed, Luke's family suddenly came, and everyone found out that I was pregnant.

It feels overwhelming.

Then, I sat down on my bed and looked at me stomach.

I held my belly and smiled a little.

I never really thought of conceiving again after Reeva.

I knew it was possible since I wasn't the old yet and I could still have a child if I wanted to.

But what I didn't expect the most is that I'll have a baby with Luke again.

I sighed.

I really don't know what to feel right now.

I feel like heaven and earth fell on my head.

Everything happened in such a short span of time and my brain was having a hard time processing it all at the same time.

I took deep calming breaths.

It's not good to get stressed out.

It's not good for the baby.

I laid down and tucked myself in.

I should get some sleep.

I'm really tired and stressed out and I'm afraid I'll hurt the baby because of it.

I held my stomach as I slept.

I need to rest.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw myself in the meadow again.

It's been a while.

My heart thumped inside my chest nervously.

"Alissa"

I slowly turned around to see the Sun God standing before me.

I immediately got on my knees and looked down.

"I am so sorry" I said guilty.

"Alissa, what ate you doing?" the Sun God held me and made me stand up.

I looked at him with teary eyes.

He sighed and he hugged me.

"Oh my child" he said and I cried on the Sun God's shoulder.

"If you're worried I will punish you, don't be" he whispered.

I cried even more.

When I finally calmed down, the Sun God held my hand.

"Come" he said then he led me to the beach.

We looked at the ocean together.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked and looked at the Sun God.

The Sun God was still looking at the ocean and he shook his head.

"Why would I be? You'll be bringing a child into this world. It's a blessing" he said and looked at me with a smile.

"But my responsibilities..." I said.

"I know how responsible and passionate you are with what you do, Alissa. I'm not worried that you won't be able to help people in any other way you can" he said.

I pursed my lips.

"I'm glad you've finally let yourself heal" he said.

I smiled a little.

"I do want you to reconcile with one more person" he suddenly said.

My brows furrowed curiously.

"Who?" I asked.

The Sun God smiled at me.

"Close your eyes" he said.

I was confused but I still closed my eyes just like I was told.

I felt the Sun God's hand graze my eyes.

Then, I opened them.

When I did, I found myself in a familiar forest.

One that I haven't seen in 13 years.

I gulped as I looked around.

Am I really where I think I am?

Then, there was rustling in the bushes and I stepped back only to see a familiar wolf appear.

"Quinn" I said and I rushed to her and hugged her.

Oh ghad.

I didn't realize how much I missed her until after everything that happened.

Quinn rubbed her head on me.

"I missed you too" I said as a tear of joy escaped my eye.

I hugged her for a while then...

I felt a strong presence behind me.

Quinn also looked behind me and then she looked down.

"Alissa"

I slowly turned around ans I saw her.

The Moon Goddess.

I stepped back as I was in shock.

She looked sad when I did that.

"Please" she said as she reached her hand out to me.

I didn't know how to react to her.

I blamed her for a while as well.

I remember that I even started despising her after I lost Reeva.

"Please, Alissa" she said again.

Quinn slightly nudged me and I sighed and slowly walked to her.

Then, I took her hand.

She slowly pulled me to her for a hug but I couldn't bring myself to hug her back.

"I'm sorry" she said.

"I wanted you to grow up strong, brave and independent so I let you experience all that by yourself. I didn't think it was too much until it was too late" she explained.

"I do not have control about everything and everyone. I do not make their choices for them but I could've been there for you. But I wasn't there enough to assure you that everything will turn out fine eventually" she said.

"Still, despite everything, you managed to become such a wonderful person. I'm sad you parted ways with me but I'm thankful that you are doing well with the Sun God's care" she told me.

"I know you might not be able to forgive me. I let you suffer and I couldn't get to you in time. You didn't deserve that. I'm sorry, Alissa. I truly am" she said as a tear escaped her eye.

I bit my lower lip as tears streamed down my face.

"Let me...make it up to you" she said.

I slowly hugged the Moon Goddess back and I buried my face in her neck.

She hugged me tighter as I sobbed.

"Oh my dear child" she said.

We were like that for a while.

Then, I woke up.

I woke up to the ray of sunlight hitting my face.

I slowly fluttered my eyes open and I looked at the clock on my nightstand.

It was already 12pm.

I slept in.

I pushed myself up and touched my face.

It was wet from crying.

Then, I smiled a little.

I felt like a heavy load was lifted off my chest.

I haven't fully made up with the Moon Goddess but we'll work on it.

Then, I got out from bed and headed to the bathroom.

I showered and got dressed.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

Afterwards, I stood infront of my bathroom mirror and I pulled my shirt up and looked at my stomach.

I'm not quite sure how this pregnancy will go.

Will my pregnancy be like a werewolf pregnancy or a human pregnancy?

I'm not quite sure yet.

I guess I'll replace out as time passes by.

I got out of my room and the smell of freshly baked bread hit my nose.

My mouth watered as I followed the scent to the living room only to see everyone there with the table filled with bread and pastries.

"Finally" Bry said and he walked to me.

"Luke brought food. A lot of it" he said a dl still looked at the big amount of food in the table.

"He bought other food as well. It's in the kitchen because it won't fit in the table here. He got the bread after Ma told him that you really liked the bread in your favorite café" Bru explained. Then, Luke came out from the kitchen with Ma.

"Alissa" he said with a smile.

Well, he seems like he's in an awfully good mood.

"It hasn't been long and he's already going overboard" Bry commented again as he tooka bite of bread.

"Ali, here!" Lia came to me with a plate of bread.

She seemed really jolly now when she was really upset before.

"Let her sit down and eat" Lucas said and looked at me.

"Darling, come. Your friends prepared a lot for you" Ma said.

We all sat down in the living room and started eating.

"Ali, a werewolf doctor is coming here in the evening to get you checked up. Is that okay?" Lia asked.

"We figured it'd be safer to get checked by a werewolf doctor instead of a human one since your pregnancy is a bit complicated" Lia explained.

She figured that out too.

I nodded.

"It's fine. I'd like that. I'm not quite sure either how this pregnancy will go" I said taking a bite of my bread.

"Are you going to tell Calum?" Ma asked.

I looked at her and then at everyone else as they looked at me and waited for an answer.

"I...uhm...he already knows" I said..

"It's a long story" I said and it's not one for me to tell.

Not everyone needs to know that he confessed and I rejected him by saying that I was pregnant.

We continued eating and Luke was going to sit beside me but then Bry pulled him back then sat beside me instead.

Then, he gave me a cup of milk.

Bry smiled innocently while Luke frowned.

I chuckled.

After we ate, I went to the kitchen and saw the variety of food there.

The 3 of us couldn't eat this all.

I guess everyone will be eating here for a while with this much food.

"Do you have any plans today?" Luke appeared.

"I do not" I said.

"I don't feel too good so I'm staying here" I said.

I walked pass Luke and he followed me.

I went to my room and he still followed me.

"If Bry sees you inside my room, he will quite literally drag you out, Luke" I said and I sat down on my bed.

"We should talk about this" he said.

I sighed and nodded then I motioned for him to close the door.

Then, we looked at each other.

"What now?" I asked.

Luke walked up to me.

Then, he reached something from his pocket and suddenly knelt down.

My eyes widened when he took out a small box.

"Luke!" I scolded in shock.

"I want to be involved in this child's life. I want to give it a complete family. I know it's sudden and I do want to take our time but it's here now and I feel like we can't waste time. I'll still pursue you and prove to you that I'm worth to be your partner and this is me taking responsibility" he said.

"Alissa, will you marry me?" he asked.

My eyes widened immediately.

"No. Immediately no, Luke" I said backing away as he looked at me with a confused expression.

"We don't have to get married because I'm pregnant. I do want this baby to have a complete family but we don't necessarily have to be together to give the baby that" I said.

I sighed.

"Luke, we still have issues that we need to deal with each other. If we get married now just because I'm pregnant, it wouldn't turn out good and I'm not going through that again" I told him.

"We need to build a connection first. We need to build a relationship before we get in a relationship then we can commit to each other if all goes well but this. This isn't it" I explained.

Luke stood up and sighed.

"Okay" he said.

I sighed in relief that he didn't argue.

"For now, let's talk about the possible set up before the baby comes and when it's already here because I am not planning on leaving the hospital anytime soon" I told him. Luke sighed again and nodded.

He sat down beside me and we started talking.

We agreed on the set up that he'll come here every other week to visit and after the baby is born, he'll keep doing that since he still does have responsibility in the Palace.

We talked a bit more until Bryan burst inside the room and Lia, Lucas and Bry joined us as well as we all talked.

"I want to move here for a while with the kids after you give birth. I can help you take care of the baby and it's also a good excuse to experience the city life and bond with you" Lia giggled. "And how would Eero react to that?" Lucas said.

"I'm my own boss and the kids love me more so I'm confident they'll come with. Specially since they can spend time with their favorite auntie" Lia said proudly..

We all chuckled.

Ma eventually joined us and a little after dinner, a doctor did come and they brought their equipment and all.

I got checked and everyone was there watching.

"It's definitely a werewolf pregnancy seeing how advanced the fetus' growth is" the doctor said.

Everyone was really excited because it wouldn't take long for them to meet the baby.

I on the other hand was torn because to all the people I know outside here, I am human.

So a werewolf pregnancy makes everything complicated.

This isn't going to be easy for me.
