The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 88

Alissa's POV

I stood in the middle of the woods and I looked around.

The howling sounds in the distance made me feel anxious.

And then I suddenly saw Luke.

He was standing in front of me a few steps away.

"Luke" I said and walked to him but no matter how much I walked, I couldn't get to him.

What's happening?

Then, I watched as blood suddenly dripped down from Luke's lips.

My heart thumped loudly inside my chest ad I tried to run to look to no avail.

"Luke!" I shouted.

Then, Luke fell to his knees while coughing.

Oh ghad.

"Luke!" I shouted again desperately as I watch him cough up blood and fall to the ground.

What's happening?!

"No no no no no no no! NO! Luke!" I screamed as I burst into tears.

Suddenly, I was able to finally get to him as I held his weak body in my arms.

"Oh ghad. Please, no" I sobbed.

"Help! Somebody, help!" I shouted as I watched Luke fade away.

"Don't. Please" I said as tears streamed down my face.

Luke looked at me and I watch the life drain from his eyes.

"No! Luke! Please!" I screamed as I shook him.

"NO!"

Then, I jolt awake.

Luke moved beside me.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he fluttered his eyes open.

I looked at him and he's brows furrowed with concern when he saw my face.

I was so relieved to see him that I hugged him and I started sobbing.

"Ali, what happened?" Luke asked worried.

I didn't answer.

Luke held me as I cried.

I felt like I was falling apart as I remembered the dream.

I felt so helpless and scared.

I couldn't do anything and I was so scared that I'd lose Luke.

Luke calmed me down and I ended up falling back asleep in his arms.

When I woke up, he was back to sleeping as well.

I sighed as I snuggled closer to him.

What a terrifying dream.

After snuggling for a little longer with Luke, I finally got off the bed.

I was feeling hungry and I'm sure Luke was too so I carefully left the room and went downstairs to the kitchen to make us a meal.

I could've just asked the helpers to cook us a meal but I wanted it to be special for Luke so I wanted to make it myself.

I would've never thought that I'd be willingly make Luke a meal ever.

I disliked him so much before and now thinking about how he got hurt because of me made my cry.

We were so different from before.

The helpers and cooks asked me if I needed help but I said no thank you.

I started ti gather my ingredients on my own and the other things I needed and started cooking.

I used to cook often for Bry and Denisse and I used to take turns cooking in Sol.

Ever since I arrived here in the Palace, I haven't been able to do it since there are helpers and cooks almost 24/7.

I continued to cook when uncle Rainer suddenly came to the kitchen.

"Why are you cooking by yourself? Where are the helpers and cooks?" uncle Rainer asked.

"Hi, uncle Rainer" I greeted him first.

"Hello, kid" he replied with a chuckle.

I smiled.

"I wanted to cook a meal for Luke before he woke up" I said as I continued cooking.

"What's the occasion?" he asked as he grabbed an apple and sat down on the kitchen stool.

I just looked at uncle Rainer until he came into a realization.

"Oh okay. It makes sense now" he said with a chuckle.

I just smiled a little.

"He'll be fine without any pampering, kid. If you do this now he might make it a habit" he said.

I chuckled.

"Uncle Rainer" I slightly scolded and he just shrugged.

He watched as I cooked for a while.

"It's nice to see you both getting along so well" he said.

I smiled.

"Why? Because we're quiet when we're getting along?" I said as I remembered how we loudly bickered any chance we get.

"Yes, exactly" he said and we both laughed.

"Also because I watched you guys grow up and after watching you guys fight and argue for years, I get to watch you guys grow together" he said with a proud smile.

"It took Luke long enough to man up and it took you long enough to let him inside your heart of yours" he stated.

I blushed and uncle Rainer chuckled at my reaction.

"I'm happy for the both of you" he said.

"Specially for you" he added.

I looked at him.

"I know how much you've been through in your life. I've witnessed you at your lowest and I'm so happy to see you make your way to the top as you try to live your best life" he said.

"I never knew your father but I think any father would be happy to see their child replace happiness after much suffering" he stated.

"And I know how anxious you are to become Queen but I also know that you'll be an amazing leader, Alissa. I believe in you. We believe in you. We're here to support you and Luke. Never forget that" he said. I went to uncle Rainer with a smile on my face as I hugged him.

"Thank you" I whispered and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Uncle Rainer smiled and hugged me back.

"I'm proud to see you grow every day, kid" he muttered.

I smiled even more then we hear knocking sounds and we turned around to see Luke leaning by the wall.

"What are you doing out of bed?" I said and came to him.

"I should be asking you the same question" he said with a chuckle.

"Your back doing okay?" uncle Rainer asked him.

"Better" Luke said and gave uncle Rainer an acknowledging pat on the back as I helped him sit down.

"What's cooking?" Luke asked.

"Our food" I said and continued to cook.

"I'll leave you guys alone now" uncle Rainer said and gave Luke a nod.

I waved him bye as he left.

Luke watched me as I cooked with a mischievous smile on his face.

"What?" I said.

"Nothing" he said with a smile.

My guess is he's been by the kitchen for a while.
