The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 39

Alissa's

POV

My eyes feel heavy and I can't seem to move my body.

I tried opening my eyes but couldn't.

Liana...

I need to save Liana.

Ghad.

Alissa, open your eyes!

Move!

Please!

I heard a door burst open then footsteps.

I wanted to open my eyes so much.

"She's here! Lady Alissa is here!"

I heard the shouts then I felt someone touch me.

"Lady Alissa? Lady Alissa?" the man said.

Help is here.

Then, I felt like I was being shaken slightly.

After that, I sensed more wolves coming.

I felt another hand touch me by the neck ans then my wrist.

"Her pulse is okay" another wolf said.

Liana.

They need to replace Liana and I need to tell them who took her.

At that moment, familiar scents invaded my nose.

"Fck!" a familiar voice cussed.

Then, I felt the other wolves step aside and I was held by a familiar warmth.

My mate's warmth.

Luke.

"Alissa? Alissa, wake up" Luke said as he tapped my face.

I need to open my eyes. I need to tell him about Liana. I need to.

I need to.

"Your highness, Lady Alissa is in a stable condition but it seems we can't do anything to bring her consciousness" a man told Luke.

I heard Luke sigh.

Then, I felt myself being lifted up.

"I need to take her back to the palace. Everyone else, keep searching for my sister. I will come back as soon as I have ensured your future Queen's safety" Luke stated. "Yes, your highness" they said.

I felt Luke move with me in his arms.

As he walked with me, we passed a familiar scent.

Kalil's scent.

I tried and tried to force myself to open my eyes.

I failed each time.

I wanted to shout, scream and cry in frustration.

Every second that passes is putting Liana at more risk.

I need to do something but I can't.

Instead of doing it all by myself, I searched for my wolf.

"Quinn! Quinn, where are you?" I called out.

"Quinn! Please!" I shouted some more inside of my head.

"Quinn!" I called more.

"Help me!" I shouted for help.

Still, I couldn't reach her.

"Someone! Anyone! Help!" I shouted desperately inside my head.

At that moment, I felt something in me change.

I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Luke as he was carrying me.

I tried to open my mouth to.

"L-L-Lu...ke" I weakly said.

Luke stopped and looked at me.

"Alissa, you're awake. Finally" he said and sighed in relief.

Then, I heard a car door open and Luke put me inside the seat.

He held my face as he checked on me.

"How are you feeling? Are you in pain?" he asked.

I slightly shook my head.

"L-Lia..." I said.

"Where's Liana? Do you remember where she is?" he asked.

"E-e-eero" I managed to say.

Luke's brows furrowed confused.

"What?" he said.

I gulped.

"A-Al-Alpha" I said.

Luke looked at me with a confused look.

"Alpha Eero?" someone said.

I slowly turned my head to the guard that said it and nodded.

"Alpha Eero is from Midnight pack, your highness" the same guard said.

I turned my head back to Luke and I saw how his face darkened as his eyes filled with rage.

"Call our men back right now. We will regroup in the palace then go to the Midnight pack for my sister" Luke said.

Then, he sat beside me still holding me as the car door closed and the car started.

"L-Lia..." I muttered as a tear fell from my eye.

"We'll save here, Ali. I promise" Luke said as he wiped my tear and planted a kiss on the top of my head.

My heart squeezed inside of my chest nervously.

I don't want anything to happen to Lia.

If anything bad happens to her, it's my fault because this whole day out was for me and because I couldn't protect her enough. Please.

Moon goddess, if you're hearing me right now, please don't let anything happen to Lia.

This is all my fault so please, please let it be me instead.

Tears streamed down my face as I closed my eyes.

After a while, the car stopped andyl opened my eyes again to see that we have arrived at the palace.

Someone opened the car door for us snd Luke came out then he lifted me up from the car seat and carried me in his arms.

I laid my head on him as I breathed in his scent to help with my nervousness and anxiety.

Luke took me inside the palace.

"Alissa" I heard aunt Livi's voice.

Then, I caught a glimpse of her worried face.

"Where's your sister?" aunt Livi asked.

Luke stopped and looked at his mom.

"Lia has been kidnapped by the Alpha of Midnight pack. I'm calling our men now and we'll head down there as soon as Alissa's been checked and when everyone is ready" Luke said.

I saw how aunt Livi's expression darkened at the news of her daughter being kidnapped.

"Mom, I'm sorry but I need to ask you to check on Alissa so I can go" Luke said.

Aunt Livi nodded as they rushed me to the nearest room.

Luke laid me down on the bed and aunt Livi went beside me checking me.

"Out" aunt Livi said and turned to Luke.

"Now" she said firmly.

Luke sighed and hesitantly went outside.

"I'm sorry..." I muttered as tears fell from my eyes.

Aunt Livi looked at me and held my face.

"It's not your fault and we're going to make sure that Lia comes back safely, okay? Don't blame yourself" she said as she gave me a kiss on the forehead.

Then, aunt Livi cupped my face as she closed her eyes and I saw light.

I felt a tingling feeling inside of me.

And just like that, I felt all my strength come back.

I gasped as aunt Livi let me go.

She gave me a small smile and I tried to sit up and she helped me.

"I need to know what happened" she said.

I nodded as I took a deep breath.

We need to save Liana.

"We were in a clothing store and everything was going well until Lia sensed someone's presence watching us" I started.

"He was tall with brown hair, green eyes and slightly tanned skin. He also had 5/wolves with him. His aura was strong and we immediately knew he was an Alpha" I continued.

"The guards protected us and told then to stay away but it seemed like the Alpha was after Lia. He couldn't take his attention off her and he was definitely odd" I said. "Odd?" aunt Livi said.

I nodded.

"The way he looks at Lia. It wasn't hostile but there was definitely something to it" I said.

Aunt Livi nodded in understanding.

"I pulled Lia with me and ran away when I felt things get heated. We hid somewhere and I had to leave Lia to replace an exit. I told her to come only when it was already but I was gone too long and she worried for ny safety so she followed me and we eventually got caught" I explained.

"Before they caught Lia. One of the Alpha's men said his name" I stated.

"Eero. His name was Eero" I said.

"Eero Hayes of Midnight pack. Hm" aunt Livi said nodding.

"Aunt Livi, you know him?" I asked.

"I tend to familiarize myself with every Alpha in my kingdom. Big or small packs. It doesn't matter. It was my duty to know who they were" she said.

"Is he from a big pack?" I asked curiously.

Aunt Livi smiled at me.

"The second biggest pack in Lunar and the 3rd biggest back in both lands" she said.

I gulped.

"Don't worry too much. I think I have a clue as to why this is happening but I need to confirm my theory first and in addition to that, I'll give this Alpha a good beating as a worried mother" aunt Livi said as she stood up.

I caught her wrist.

"Please take me with you. I need to see Lia. I need to know she's safe and that she's okay. Please, aunt Livi" I begged.

"I can't stay here knowing that my bestfriend might be in danger with a dangerous man. Please" I said

Aunt Livi stared at me for a moment.

Then, she held my face.

"Okay but do me a favor and change into my clothing. I can take you with me but I need to make sure that everyone knows not to come near you even when I'm not beside you" she said and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "Now, I need to stop my son from possibly starting unnecessary bloodshed" she said as she walked out of the room.

I caught a glimpse of Luke but the door closed soon after.

Not long after aunt Livi left, a helper came in and brought me some of aunt Livi's clothing.

Her scent was all over the piece of clothing and I immediately knew what she meant when she said I should wear it so everyone knows not to come near me.

I was wearing her scent.

The most powerful wolf's scent to be precise.

I thanked the helper and I immediately slipped into the clothing.

I was feeling a lot better after aunt Livi checked on me and helped me recover much faster from whatever was used to make us pass out.

Then, aunt Livi came into the room and immediately shut the door.

"You ready, dear?" she said.

I nodded.

"Good because we're off now before your mate gets to us first" aunt Livi said as she linked my arms with hers.

"Mom! Alissa!" Luke screamed and banged the door from outside.

"Get ready, dear" she said and just as the door burst open with a furious Luke, we also disappeared out of there.

I gasped as I felt an unfamiliar sensation.

I was in a daze and suddenly, I felt the shifting from my feet.

Aunt Livi held me tighter and the next thing I know, I was in a completely different place.

I was no longer in the guest room of the palace.

I was in the woods.

An unfamiliar woods.

"The pack is a kilometer away. We'll walk. Are you okay with that?" aunt Livi asked me.

I nodded still a bit confused.

Aunt Livi chuckled and gave me a pat on the back.

"How did that feel?" she said as she clung onto my arms and we started walking.

"Odd" I commented.

Aunt Livi laughed.

"You're good. Some first timers puke all over the place" she said.

I lightly chuckled.

We walked side by side.

"Aunt Livi?" I said.

"Yes, dear?" aunt Livi responded.

I bit my lower lip.

"Do you know what kind of person Liana's kidnapper is?" I asked nervously.

Aunt Livi glanced at me.

"Are you trying to ask if I think he's a danger to Liana?" she said.

I nodded.

Aunt Livi sighed.

"I've only ever met him once and I've personally monitored him and his pack a few times and based on that, I don't think he's capable of hurting Liana. Specially if I'm right on what I think the actual issue here is" she stated. I nodded.

I atleast trust aunt Liviana's judgement.

"Don't think about it too much, Ali. He won't hurt Liana more than he already has by taking her away" she said.

I just bit my lower lip.

We kept walking until I spotted a sign of a pack nearby.

Finally.

"They'll immediately know that we are here but it's unlikely that they know why we're here in the first place" aunt Livi said.

We walked head held high to the borders of the pack and even before we could get even closer, guards came rushing at us.

As soon as their eyes landed on aunt Livi, they stopped and froze at their tracks.

"Where's your Alpha?" aunt Livi asked in an authoritative voice.

Here we go.
