The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 35

Alissa's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm and pushed myself up sleepily as I rubbed my eyes.

I looked at the time and it was still pretty early.

I got out of bed, stretched a little then went to the bathroom and washed up.

After that, I grabbed a change of clothes in my closet.

Training clothes to be exact.

Then, I tied my hair into a ponytail and prepared to head out.

I got out of my room and looked around.

Maybe he isn't awake yet and will follow later on.

I then proceeded to make my way downstairs.

I'll just wait for him in the living room and I'll probably grab an apple just so I have something in my stomach for when I go to warm up.

Once I reached downstairs, I headed to the kitchen only to smell something amawand saw the person I least thought I'd see in there. "Luke" I said and Luke turned around with a pan on his hand.

"Morning" he said and then proceeded to put eggs on a plate from the pans that he was holding.

"You're already awake. I thought you were still asleep. I was going to wait for you here" I said.

"We need fuel for a run so I made a little something. This is definitely not breakfast. Just something to fuel us for our morning warm up" he said. Then, he motioned for me to sit down and proceeded to grab a small plate with apple slices, a glass and then poured milk in the glass.

I looked at him stunned

What's with him?

"Luke" I said and Luke looked at me as he sat across from me.

"Hmm?" he responded with a hum.

"Are you feeling okay?" I asked.

Luke chuckled.

"Do I not look like I'm okay?" he said

I pursed my lips.

"Well..." I said and Luke chuckled.

"Eat" he said.

I looked at him suspiciously and eventually brushed it off.

I started eating and Luke kept glancing at me from time to time.

I just continued eating until we both finished.

After that, Luke and I headed outside.

The sun hasn't even risen yet.

We started off by walking towards the woods and not Luke nor I spoke as we entered tge woods.

"What's the plan?" I finally broke the silence.

Luke glanced at me and smirked.

"Race you" he said and suddenly started sprinting.

Then, I watched him shift midair.

I scoffed and then started running after him as I too shifted midair.

So much for my training clothes.

Luke and I sprinted through the woods in our wolf form.

It was a familiar scenario.

We've done this before but when we were doing our training and it was always some kind of extreme competition. But now, it isn't.

For the first time, we aren't competing for anything, really.

It's all just fun.

Him and I running through the woods 'for fun'.

Never knew it was a possibility until now.

If someone told me that I'd be doing this with Luke, I'd think they were crazy.

Luke and I continued running through the woods passing tree after tree and leaping bush after bush.

The feeling of adrenaline in my body made me feel so alive and...free.

Maybe with a little more time here in the palace territory, I'll finally learn to realize that I can still live my life as long as I take control of myself.

After some time, Luke and I reached a meadow and we both stopped to rest in the middle of the flowers.

I flopped down on the ground panting but Luke didn't even seem tired at all.

"Your stamina isn't looking too good" he teased in our link.

I wanted to roll my eyes at him.

"For the record, I just got back into constant training while you've been training probably everyday for the last 3 years that I was gone. I'm still catching up with my skills so do me a favor and quit being too ccky" I defended myself. I just know that if Luke could chuckle, he most probably would and if I were him, I'd laugh at me too for sounding so defensive.

I laid my head down and Luke moved closer to me laying down just beside me.

"Do you want me to help you train later?" Luke asked in our link.

"You'll do that?" I asked stunned.

"Sure. Why wouldn't I?" he replied.

"Probably because you're the King and you're busy" I answered him.

"I can make time" he retorted.

I was smiling inside and I would've slapped myself if I was in my human form.

"Okay" I agreed to it

Luke and I stayed in the meadow and watched as the sun rise.

It was the most beautiful thing ever.

Luke got closer and our fur touched as we watched the beautiful scene unfold.

After that, Luke and I headed back the palace walking side by side.

We ended up passing a few guards and warriors roaming around the territory and tgey greeted us a good morning.

It was a good way to start the day and I really liked it.

After some time, Luke and I reached the palace and we went in the back.

Luke took out something from the corner and then I saw clothes.

He dropped them in front of me.

"Change" he mind linked me then turned around.

I internally smiled.

I shifted back to my human form and slipped on the the oversized shirt and sweats.

"I'm done" I said.

Luke turned around and looked me up and down before huffing.

"Get inside. I'll follow you once I get dressed" he mind linked me and I nodded.

Just as I was about to walk inside I brushed my hand on Luke's back fur and he ended up howling.

"Alissa" he lightly scolded.

I chuckled.

What?

What did I do?

"I'll wait for you inside" I said and headed inside while chuckling.

Well, this day is going to be interesting.

I went inside and I rushed back to my room.

I took a quick shower.

I know I shouldn't have since I'll be training again anyway but I still did because I felt more comfortable that way.

After I showered and dried myself off.

I wore a fresh set of training clothes and I dried ny hair then put it in a ponytail.

Then, I left my room and went downstairs.

Luke was in the living room.

"Should we go to the training hall now?" I asked.

Luke turned to look at me and he looked me up and down.

"Quit checking me out" I said.

Luke chuckled.

"Let's go" he said.

Luke and I walked to the training hall.

When we got there, he was of course greeted by the wolves in training.

Then, we went to our own space.

We already warmed uo earlier but I still did a few stretches before actually training.

Luke and I started doing drills and all that.

Most of the drills we did were drills that wr did back then when we were training together as teenagers.

"You didn't get to train in your old pack?" he randomly asked as we trained.

"I can but I didn't" I said.

"Why?" he asked.

"The life in Sol is relaxing. I could do nothing and I'd be fine. I don't know why but it's just like that when I'm there" I said.

"I do train from time to time when I'm teaching the men there about combat but that's about it" I said with a shrug.

I saw Luke's brows furrowed.

"You often spend your time with men there?" he asked.

I looked at him for a moment and he was seriously waiting for an answer.

"Don't tell mw you're going to start another argument with this" I said.

"For your information, most of those men are older than me. A lot older and the ones close to my age are my friends. Just friends" I said.

Luke just looked at me for a moment then he let it go.

I shook ny head in disbelief.

"Possessive mf" I muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" he said and stopped training.

I stopped as well.

"I didn't say anything" I lied.

Luke squinted his eyes at me.

"Say that again. Come on" he taunted.

It wasn't in a threatening manner.

I chuckled.

"No" I said.

"Come on" he kept taunting.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Leave me alone" I said.

Luke just looked at me and I looked at him and placed my hand on my hips.

"I said you were possessive so what? You are" I said.

Then, we had a staring battle in the training hall.

I watched as the side of his lip rose up.

"You bet I am" he said with a smirk.

Then, he continued back with the training like nothing happened.

What a freaking weirdo.
