The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 155

Alissa Soleil's POV

"Luke, can you get the kids' pillows in the room please?" I said.

Luke nodded then gave me a kiss on the cheek before rushing upstairs.

I chuckled.

"Mommy, Reese wants her bottle" River came up to me.

I glanced at Reese who was pouting on the couch.

"Okay, bud. Let me get it quickly" I said.

River is now 3 years old.

Reese is our youngest daughter.

She's 1.

We had Reese a little after our wedding.

Reese is the complete opposite of River.

While River is a sweet angel boy, our Reese is a fiery little girl.

Still, River and Reese get along so well.

They even compliment each other's personality.

Like Luke wanted, his wish to have his mini version came true.

As for Luke and I, even after the wedding, we went back to our usual set up where I worked in the city in the hospital and Luke came to us every other week.

Then, when we found out I was pregnant with Reese, Luke decided it would be best if he stepped down for a while.

He prepared for months before actually stepping down temporarily and Lucas took over for him.

Once Reese was born, that's when Luke stepped down and he's lived with us in the city ever since.

Luke will return as King very soon.

I on the other hand will resign in the hospital and transfer to a different one.

One that's a bit closer to the Palace.

I knew I still wasn't ready to own my own hospital so that's the set up I went with for now.

Once I'm ready, I'll establish my own hospital both for werewolves and humans.

We decided to go on a family trip before the changes that we'll make in our lives.

Luke and I figured that we'd be really busy soon so we wanted to give the kids' a treat.

I grabbed Reese's bottle and a snack.

I gave Luke the bottle to give to Reese and I gave the snack for him.

"Thanks, mommy" he said.

"You're welcome, buddy" I said and River walked to his sister and gave her the bottle. Then, he pulled himself up on the couch and sat beside Reese then ate his snacks. They were the cutest.

Luke finally came down with the pillows and some other stuff.

We packed them all for the trip.

After our trip, we were going to the Palace and we'll be staying there for a bit before I go back to the city and finalize my resignation from the hospital. "Done" I said.

"I'll take the bags to the car and prepare the car as well. You guys wait here for a moment" Luke said.

I nodded and gave him a kiss on the cheek before he left to go out to the car.

Then, I walked to our children and I sat beside them.

Reese was still drinking milk from her bottle while River ate his snacks.

After a few minutes, Luke called us out and I took the kids.

We sat the kids on their seats and once they were strapped in, we both got inside.

"Ready?" Luke asked.

I nodded putting my sunglasses on.

"Ready" I said.

Then, we drove off.

We had a road trip and we stopped ny several fun places.

After hours of traveling, we stopped by at a rest stop.

I took Reese with the bathroom and Luke took River with him to the bathroom.

I changed Reese's diaper for the nth time this day.

I also relieved myself with Reese standing inside the cubicle with me while staring deep into my soul.

After that, I had to freshen up a bit.

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror.

My hair was back to its natural color now.

I dyed it before I got pregnant with Reese then I just let it grow out naturally.

I retouched my makeup a bit.

"Mommy, Ree too. Ree too" Reese said pouting her lip.

I chuckled and grabbed a lipbalm then put it on her lips.

Then, I brushed the powder brush on her face a little and that's about it.

She was satisfied after that.

Reese and I met up with her dad and brother by the car.

"Shall we get some snacks at the convenience store?" Luke suggested.

"We still have lots in the car" I pointed out.

"It's more fun to buy them here" he said.

We both chuckled.

"Okay. Let's go" I said.

Luke smiled and we held hands with the kids then held each other's hands.

We went to the convenience store and bought snacks and ate them there.

The kids were really enjoying themselves and we were too.

Luke and I try our best to always be hands on with the kids.

We're not the perfect parents but we try our best to raise them to be good and strong.

We always communicate with them and as much as possible, we don't discipline them by shouting or punishing them.

So far, they're growing up to be good kids.

Although Reese might have an attitude when she grows.

I think that one might run in Luke's blood.

I chuckled at the thought.

It was aunt Livi that told me that since she mentioned she had quite the attitude growing up as well and we joked that it ran in their blood. Still, I think Reese is a good kid. She's just more ardent than others.

And she's only a year old.

After some time, we finished eating amd got back in the car.

We continued our road trip until it was already night fall and our last stop was our accommodation.

We checked in on the hotel for the night to rest since we had a flight tomorrow to go to the Palace.

Luke and I took turns washing the kids then after that, we tucked them in and we also washed up together. "Today was fun" I said.

Luke smiled as he held my face.

"It was" he said then we kissed in the shower.

You can imagine what happened after that.

Once Luke and I were all done and dressed up for bed, we laid down in the bed with the kids.

Luke and I woke up to the alarm and we immediately got up.

The kids were still sleeping and we both prepared everything to go to the airport.

Once the kids woke, I showered with Reese and Luke showered with River.

We all got dressed and prepared to go to the airport.

We had breakfast in the hotel before leaving and after eating we drove to the airport where the royal family's private jet was waiting for us.

We were assisted inside the jet and we sat the kids down and settled them down with toys and snacks.

Then, Luke and I plopped down on our own seat.

We looked at each other and we laughed.

It's hectic having kids bit we really wouldn't exchange it for the world.

We love our kids so much and being their parents is a blessing.

The plane took off and the kids eventually fell asleep.

Luke held my hands and I laid my head on his shoulder then closed my eyes.

"I love you" I heard him say.

I smiled with my eyes closed.

"I love you" I muttered and he laid his head on mine.

We woke up some time later.

We played with the kids on the plane and only got back on our seat when the plane was about to land.

In a matter of minutes, we landed then were assisted down the plane.

A limousine was waiting for us and we got in with the kids.

We turned on some music inside the limousine and the kids and I jammed to the music while Luke watched us.

We eventually arrived at the Palace.

When we arrived in the Palace, everyone was also busy because there was a party going to be held for all the Alphas and pack leaders from different packs all over the Werewolf Kingdom.

The helpers guided us to our room and we washed the kids up.

They were tired so they immediately fell asleep and we let them.

Then, there was a knock on our door and Luke and I glanced at each other.

"I'll get it" he said and I nodded.

Luke went to the door and opened it then I saw Lucas.

Lucas smiled at his brother then he looked at me and waved at me.

I smiled at him and walked over to them.

"Hey" I greeted him.

"Hi. How was your trip?" Lucas asked.

"It was fun. How's the party?" I asked.

"It hasn't started yet but I already know it's not going to be that interesting" he said.

I chuckled.

"Do you guys want to go? I mean, you're already here. Also, Lia and Eero are coming as well" he said.

I looked at Luke.

"Sounds good to me. Should we?" I asked Luke.

Luke looked at me.

"Do you want to?" he asked.

I nodded.

Luke nodded in understanding.

"Okay. We'll be down after washing up and getting dressed" Luke said.

Lucas nodded.

"I'll have guards and helpers come here to guard the kids while they're sleeping" he said.

Luke and I nodded.

"Thank you" I said and Luke smiled then left.

"Shall we party?" Luke said in a funny tone.

I chuckled.

"We shall" I matched his energy and we bith laughed.

We washed up and got dress.

We both have tons of clothes in stock here so we didn't have a problem replaceing something to wear.

I wore a black tie back ruched side wrap hem satin cami dress paired with black stiletto heeled sandals.

Then, I straightened my hair and did my makeup.

As I was finalizing my look, Luke wrapped his arm on my waist and turned me to him.

Then, he gave me a peck on the lips and then another and another.

I chuckled and gave him a kiss on the lips then wiped the lipstick off his lips.

He was all done and I just fixed the collar of his black satin button down shirt.

"Let's go. Lucas must be bored downstairs" I said.

Luke nodded and he intertwined our hands.

6 guards and 2 helpers came. 3 guards stood by the door and the other 3 guards stood inside the room with the 2 helpers.

We left the room and headed to the ballroom.

We reached the ballroom and were greeted by the wolves there.

We searched for Lucas and saw him taking with a few Alphas so we joined them.

We accompanied Lucas until Lia and Eero came.

Then, Lia pulled me aside and we talked with each other while the men talked about something else.

We laughed and giggled and looked around.

We see Lia and the kids monthly and keep in contact daily but it's so much fun meeting like this.

As Lia and I were talking, I noticed Lucas and realized he was acting strange.

He seemed uneasy as he kept looking around.

He wasn't like that before.

Then, he excused himself from the others.

"Lia, can you give me a moment. I just need to step out for a sec" I said.

"Sure. I'll wait for you here" she said and I nodded.

I was worried about Lucas so I followed him.

I lost him in the crowd but I kept searching.

After a while, I caught his scent and followed it until I ended up in the garden.

I saw Lucas and he was talking to a woman.

It was fine at first but then the next second, Lucas stepped forward and the woman grabbed him by his collar and pinned him to the ground.

I instinctively rushed to them and I grabbed the girl.

"What do you think you're doing?" I growled as I grabbed her.

Then, she grabbed me back and then Lucas grabbed her as well.

"Don't" Lucas said.

My brows furrowed as Lucas looked at her.

Lucas didn't even seem fazed as the woman glared at her.

"Lucas, who is she?" I said.

Lucas only looked at the woman.

"She's my mate" he said.

My eyes widened.

The woman pulled her hands away from us and she got up with a frown.

"Ex. Ex-mate" she said in an angry tone.

I helped Lucas up as the woman glared at him.

I glanced at the woman and then at Lucas.

I was confused.

"Seri, please" Lucas said as he looked at her.

The woman looked at Lucas with a raised brow.

"Oh you're the one begging now? Good for you" he said with spite.

"Leave me alone, Grey" the woman said.

Lucas stepped closer to her and she stepped back.

"I said get away from me!" she growled at him.

I watched them still confused as to ehat was happening.

I know nothing about Lucas' mate.

I didn't even know he still had one.

Whenever I asked him about it before, he'd just give me a sad smile and completely change the subject.

But now...

There seems to be something more to that sad smile as I watched them.

"Seri, I want to talk" Lucas said.

The woman glared at him.

"I don't" she said.

"Then, why are you here?" Lucas said.

"I came here for work so leave me alone. I'm not here for you" she said.

"Try to get close to me again and I'll make sure to kill you. I don't care if you're the second Prince or the acting King. I'll kill you if you touched me again" she trained as her jaws clenched.

Her words weren't directed to me bit the hate in her tone made me shiver.

She walked away and Lucas was gonna go after her but I held him back.

He looked back at me and I shook my head.

Then, I looked at the woman's back as she walked away from us.

I don't know what happened to them but I'm guessing it's not something good.

Now, I'm even more curious about it.

What happened?
