The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 78

Luke's

POV

I looked out of the car window asl waited for us to arrive at the palace.

It was already dark but I was just in time for dinner.

I was also informed that Alissa's training finished not too long ago so she must be resting and freshening up.

After some time, we arrived at the palace and I got off and headed straight inside.

"Where's my mate?" I asked a helper as I passed by.

"Lady Alissa is still in her room, your highness. Dinner will be ready in 15" the helper replied.

I nodded and made my way to Alissa's room.

I reminded myself to tell the helpers ti move her things in my room since she'll be staying in mine starting tomorrow.

I don't want us to stay in separate bedrooms but I'll still provide a room for herself. Her office perhaps.

Just not the bedroom since I don't want her to sleep anywhere without me.

I reached Ali's room and knocked before enter.

I saw her by her vanity drying her hair.

"Hey. You're back" she said with a smile.

I smiled a little as I got inside, closed the door and walked towards her.

"Hey" I greeted her and I took the blow dryer in her hands.

She looked a bit taken aback but didn't complain as I started to dry her hair for her.

"Did you just arrive?" she asked curiously.

I nodded and she also nodded in understanding.

"How was your training?" I asked her.

"It was good. Aunt Livi is asking about a tentative date for the coronation. She said she wanted me to be the one to decide" she said.

Hm. I thought my mom would be the one to make that decision.

It turns out that she's considering Ali's opinion more than hers.

"What did you tell her?" I asked curiously.

"I asked her when she thought would be the right time based on my progress. I don't really think I can decide on it on my own" she told me.

I slightly chuckled.

And then there's Alissa eho trusts my mom more than she trusts herself so she lets my mom make big decisions for her if needed.

It's amazing just how her bond with my mom progressed into something so strong during the time she was away.

Well, my mom was the only one who stood by her when she made a decision to leave and my mom was also the one who protected her during that time. Alissa trusts my mom because my mom trusts Alissa just as much.

That's something that Alissa and I are working on at the moment.

I dried Al's hair then she faced me amd gave me a smile

"Thank you" she said and stood to give my a kiss on the cheek.

I smiled.

Alissa finished up and once she was done, I gently pulled her to her bedm

I sat down on the bed and made her sit on my lap.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

I nodded and gave her an assuring smile

"Just a little bit tired, that's all" I said burying my face on her neck.

Her scent was more than enough to drive me crazy.

"Will you be able to join us for dinner?" she asked.

"Mhm-hm" I answered with a hum.

After that, Alissa just let me bury her face on her neck.

Until, there was a knock on the door.

"Milady, dinner is ready" a helper said from outside.

"We'll be down in a moment" Alissa said.

I almost didn't want to let her go but I did.

Alissa stood up in front of me.

"Let's go. Everyone must be waiting for us already" she said.

I nodded and I held her hand as we walked out of the room.

I intertwined her hands with mine.

I like this feeling.

We don't argue or fight. We understand each other without having to always guess what the other one if feeling.

Before we marked each other, there was always tension. The negative type.

Neither of us knew how to express what to feel towards each other without causing a fight.

But now, that we've completed the mating process, it's like we're actually one person now.

I can feel what she feel and she feels what I feel.

Also, there's this certain trust that was made when we finalized our bond.

I glanced at Alissa as we walked.

I smiled when she glanced back at me.

This is all I've ever wanted for us.

Even before she left.

I always hoped we'd be able to create a special bond together.

When I first met Alissa, I was nothing but mesmerized to see her.

When she walked in the palace doors and when she roamed around the palace by herself.

She'll never know that but I do. I know how she made me feel the moment I first saw her.

We didn't have the best first meeting and that's what caused us to have a rocky relationship.

But in reality, I never hated nor disliked her. Not even when she left.

I was just...angry that she did what she did.

I've always adored her.

The way she can easily get along with others, how she cares for everyone around her and how she's able to stand up for herself.

But then again, I worry about her because of those same traits which makes me upset.

She's brave, selfless, stubborn and persistent which is why she always ends up hurting herself and putting her life ij danger and that makes me livid.

I don't want to lose her but I have no control over the decisions she makes when it involves helping other people.

Alissa is amazing. She was then and she is now.

But I don't have the strength to tell her that.

I don't have the strength to tell her how I actually feel about her.

Atleast not yet.

For now, I'll be the only one to know.

That's its always been her.
