The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 48

Alissa's

POV

It's been hours since Kalil and I got trapped inside the storage room.

Help hasn't come yet.

I don't think help is coming any time soon anyway.

I told everyone I'd be going for a walk and I don't think anyone would bother to check if I've finished and come back since it's been a routine of mine already. Unless someone does end up checking on me at midnight, we'll be here till morning.

"Aren't you cold?" Kalil asked as I hugged myself.

"I'm fine. Are you?" I asked.

"I feel a bit cold" he said.

"I'll try and replace you something" I said and stood up.

Kalil caught my wrist and held it.

I looked back at him.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

Kalil just looked at me and sighed.

"Nevermind. I'm not that cold anymore" he said.

"Uhm okay. Are you sure?" I asked.

Kalil nodded.

"Just sit beside me and don't go anywhere" Kalil said and pulled me to sit beside him.

I just sat there quietly and yawned.

"Are you sleepy?" Kalil asked me.

I nodded.

"A little bit, yeah. I'm pretty tired from the sparring session and this room temperature isn't helping to wake me up either" I said.

"Then sleep" Kalil said and patted his shoulders.

"We might be here for a a while so you should rest" he said.

I bit my lower lip and nodded.

I leaned on Kalil's shoulder as I yawned sleepily.

I really do feel so drained.

"Just a little bit" I said and closed my eyes.

I want to take a nap even just for a bit.

Suddenly, there was a loud banging sound and I opened my eyes only to see a familiar figure by the door.

Was I dreaming already?

Wow. I fell asleep so fast.

Then, I saw Luke's angry face.

A nightmare. Oh no.

Suddenly, he marched towards my direction.

Then, he grabbed me and pulled me.

I was surprised because I thought it was a dream.

Not until I felt the pressure on Luke's hold on me. Oh ghad.

"Luke" I said coming to my senses.

He squinted his eyes at me.

"You awake now huh" he said with gritted teeth.

I gulped.

Then, he turned to Kalil and glared at him.

"What do you think you're doing with my mate?" Luke growled lowly at Kalil.

Kalil stared at Luke indifferently.

"We were trapped in here. Wasn't it obvious, your highness?" Kalil said mockingly.

Luke angrily held him by the collar.

"Luke!" I said and held his arm as he angrily gripped on Kalil.

"Don't fcking mock me" Luke growled angrily.

"Luke, calm down and let go of Kalil" I said but Luke didn't listen to me.

"What are you getting worked up on? It's not like something happened to Alissa and I" Kali said.

My eyes slightly widened.

"Kalil" I scolded.

Luke tightened his grip on Kalil.

"You should know better not to touch what's mine" Luke said.

Kalil smirked.

"She's not yours just yet" Kalil said.

"Fck you!" Luke shouted and punched Kalil.

"Luke!" I shouted in panic as I restrained him.

Kalil stepped back and wiped his bleeding lip.

He chuckled in disbelief as I held on to Luke tightly.

"Be thankful that Alissa is present" Kalil said.

"Kalil, please stop" I begged.

"And if she wasn't?" Luke said.

"Stop it!" I screamed at the both of them.

Then, guards came rushing in just before Kalil and Luke pounced on each other.

"Ali!" Lia came rushing to my side.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Ali asked as she checked on me and looked at Luke and Kalil both being restrained from one another.

"We got stuck in here. We obviously couldn't break the door open so we had to wait for someone to replace us" I explained.

"Was that someone my brother?" she asked.

I nodded.

"And what were you guys doing exactly when he came?" Lia asked glancing at her brother who was obviously worked up.

"I was sleeping in Kalil's shoulder" I said.

"Oh" Lia said.

"It doesn't even sound that bad but look at how Luke is reacting" she said shaking her head.

Lucas finally came and looked at me with concern.

Then, he saw his brother being restrained from the guards.

His eyes shifted to Kalil then at me.

"Were you guys together in here" he asked.

I nodded.

"Oh" Lucas said then gave me a pat on the back before going to his brother.

"I'll be right back" Ali said and went to Kalil.

Lucas and Lia tried to calm both Luke and Kalil down.

I didn't know what to do.

Both of them were too worked up and I make it worse by being present.

This is the first time that I've watched Kalil go against Luke since I came back.

I'm not too sure why he did it but I've got a clue why.

I don't like it though.

The thing is, I never expected any of this to happen.

Luke and I are finally getting along so well then this suddenly happened.

I can feel it in my guts that the aftermath of this confrontation will not be pretty for anyone at all.

Not for Kalil. Not for me. Not for Luke.

And not for everyone around us as well.

"Stay away from my mate or else" Luke warned Kalil with a growl.

"I'm not going to stay away from Alissa unless she asks me to" Kalil refused.

Luke growled angrily as he almost shifted and the guards panicked.

I rushed over to him and just before he could lose it, I hugged Luke.

I held on to his waist.

"Please don't" I begged as my voice shook nervously.

"Please stop it" I said tightening my grip on Luke's waist.

Luke tensed up then started relaxing.

Tears fell down from my eyes.

"Please. Just stop" I said weakly.

There was silence in the room.

The tears streamed down my face quietly

I never wanted any of this to happen.

I started sobbing and Luke tensed up a bit again.

"Please stop" I sobbed.

"Look what you guys did" Lia said and she held my arm and pulled me to her then pushed her brother.

"Ali, let's go" Lia said and she pulled me out of there.

"Lia, wait" Lucas said and he took off his button down shirt and covered me with it.

Then, Lia pulled me out of there.

Lia held me as we walked out of the training hall and back to the Palace.

We passed by a lot of people in the Palace and quickly went to my room.

Lia and I reached my room and she sat me down on my bed.

"You're cold. I'll prepare a warm bath for you" she said.

I nodded.

I hugged myself because I still felt cold.

After a few minutes, Lia came back.

Then, she sat next to me and caressed my back.

"What exactly happened?" she asked.

I was done crying now.

"I trained today and had a few sparring rounds with some wolves. After that, I was cleaning myself uo before going back to the Palace because I looked like a mess" I started.

Lia nodded as she listened.

"I was talking with Kalil in the back and I needed extra towels so we went to the storage room to get some. We didn't even take long inside and when we were about to go out, we got locked in" I continued.

"We couldn't get out because the door was made out of silver and the walls were a no go as well. We were stuck inside until someone could replace us" I explained.

"It was cold and I was tired and sleepy and I was going to take a quick nap on Kalil's shoulder. Then, Luke came and everything went downhill from there" I sais.

Lia sighed as she massaged the bridge of her nose.

"Drama" she said.

"Luke came back and immediately looked for you. I figured you were training so I told him you might be in the training hall" she said.

"Luke went there and got back here saying you weren't there. He also checked if you were at your parents house and you still weren't" she continued.

"Lucas came and he told Luke that you were training before and even sparred earlier so they both went back to the training halls and asked the other wolves if they noticed where you were but no one saw you after the sparring session" she explained. "Then Luke suddenly looked for Kalil and when no one could replace him either, that's when his worry turned into anger and he sent everyone out to look for you guys" she told me.

"Turns out you guys just goy stuck and Luke is taking it the wrong way" Lia sighed.

Then, she shook her head in disbelief.

Lia gave me a pat on the back.

"Go inside the bathroom and take a warm bath. You might get sick if you don't. I'll wait for you here and let's talk more, okay?" she said.

I nodded and went inside.

I still felt upset about what happened.

But am I really to blame for getting stuck in the storage room?

It's not like I wanted it to happen.
