The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 93

Alissa's POV

Paperwork.

I'm dealing with paperwork.

Yesterday, I went to an out of the Palace work with Luke.

Thankfully, it went well and we spent most of yesterday out of the Palace.

Today, I'm dealing with important paperwork with Luke.

We're in my office and I had a pile of documents on my desk.

I didn't even think royalty did paperwork. Now, I know.

Luke came with a cup of coffee and I was going to take a sip but the bitter smell immediately made me frown.

I stood up and went to put additional sugar cubes on my coffee.

"Since when did you like your coffee sweet?" Luke asked.

"I like sweet things these days" I said with a shrug and returned to my swivel chair while Luke leaned on my table.

I went through the papers as Luke watched me. I also occasionally asked questions to which he answered.

This is how I was going to spend my day.

By lunchtime, Luke does need to leave and I'll be left behind.

Well, not really because I'll have Liana with me later to help me.

"Okay. You've done enough for the time being. Come here and rest a bit" Luke said as he sat down on the couch in my office.

I chuckled.

"Don't bother me. I want to finish this" I said and Luke pouted at me as he stood back up and went to me.

Then, he lifted me up from my chair and I squeaked in surprise.

"Luke!" I scolded.

Luke brought me to the couch and sat me down on his lap.

I sighed in disbelief.

"Do you have separation anxiety?" I said.

Luke buried his face on my neck.

"I couldn't be with you for years and we spent our first month arguing and fighting over the smallest things. Give me some slack" he said. I chuckled and let him be.

Luke and I stayed in that position for a while until there was a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said and stood up leaving Luke on the couch.

Luke stood up as well as the door opened and uncle Rainer peeked inside.

"I knew it" he said when he saw Luke.

"We're leaving in 30 minutes. You better be ready by then" uncle Rainer said then he looked at me.

"Hey, kid. Looking good. You busy?" he said.

I chuckled.

"I am" I said.

"As expected. I'll take this guy away soon so you can focus. He was bothering you wasn't he?" he said.

"I wasn't" Luke immediately denied it.

"He helped me, uncle" I said and Luke looked proud.

Uncle Rainer just shrugged.

"30 minutes, Luke" he said before leaving

Then, I turned to Luke.

"30 minutes" I said.

Luke sighed and hugged me.

"I'll be back as soon as I can so I can help you more" he said and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Luke said goodbye and I was left alone in my office.

After some time, there was a knock on my door.

"Ali, are you there? It's Lia" it was Lia's voice outside.

"Come on in, Lia" I said and the door was opened.

Lia peeked inside and she smiled when she saw me.

"There's my bestfriend and favorite sister in law" she said.

I chuckled.

"I'm your only best friend and only sister in law at the moment" I pointed out.

"Still my favorite" she said and gave me a hug when I was sitting down.

"Anyways, it's lunch time and we should go down to eat now so let's fix all thid up" she said and I nodded in agreement.

Lia and I fixed the papers on my desk and set them aside so we can have our lunch.

Once we were finished, we got out and Lia clung onto my arm.

"Lucas and I also just finished with our work. I think it's a good idea for us to take a breather after lunch instead of immediately getting back to work?" she said. "We deserve to take even just a little bit of rest after all" she said.

I nodded.

"That sounds good to me. I did feel a little bit suffocated inside the office by myself" I agreed.

Lia smiled and nodded excitedly.

We went downstairs and walked straight to the dining room and Lucas was already there as the food was being prepared on the table.

Lucas stood up when he saw us and pulled a pair of seats and we sat there.

"Hey" he greeted me with a smile and I smiled back at him.

"Hi, Lucas" I said and sat down with a smile.

The 3 of us sat down together.

The helpers finished prepping the food and we each got our food.

"How's work going so far?" Lucas asked me.

"There's A LOT of paper work. I didn't even think you guys did paper work nowadays" I said.

Lucas chuckled.

"Yeah it unfortunately comes with the title and the job itself" he said.

"True" Lia said and we all chuckled.

"You'll eventually get used to it" Lia said.

I nodded.

"How about you you guys? Lia mentioned you were working on something. Is that going well?" I asked back.

"It is. It's nothing too complicated" Lucas said with a shrug.

Both him and Lia were so used to all of this and I was very much a rookie.

"Anyways, enough about work. We shouldn't be talking about unpleasant stuff during a meal" Lia said.

Lucas and I agreed.

Then, Lia turned to me.

"Personal question. Have you and Luke talked about having pups yet?" Lia suddenly asked.

I almost choked on my food and Lucas gave me a glass of water.

"That was too personal, Lia" Lucas told his sister.

"What? They're literally mated and married and plus, having a niece or nephew, preferably a niece would be so amazing in this huge Palace without a tiny pup running around in a little dress which is adorable if you imagine it by the way" she said. I chuckled and Lia looked at me stilk waiting for an answer.

So we're really going to talk about this huh.

I sighed.

"How do you switch up from not wanting me to be with Luke to suddenly asking for a niece?" I said in disbelief.

"Well, you're already in it and I couldn't stop the both of you from eventually getting together so I'm throwing in a next step suggestion" she said.

I chuckled.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Before you looked absolutely miserable with Luke and then you guys started to gey along and eventually one thing led to another with you and now, all I can see is the happy you. I was against the idea of a relationship for you guys but you obviously look happy now" she said.

"Aren't you?" she asked.

"I am" I admitted.

"See? And I want that for you more than anything else. Because you deserve it. You deserve the world and more, Ali" she continued.

I smiled.

"And you know what I think will make you even happier? A daughter. A lovely precious little girl" she said.

I raised a brow at her.

"Lia" I said in disbelief.

"Tell me, I'm wrong. Come on. Tell me that the thought of having a precious little one doesn't excite you" she said and I laughed.

It does seem exciting.

But I really don't feel like Luke and I are ready for that just yet.

Our relationship has progressed greatly since we marked each other but it hasn't been long and I feel like we need a little more time just to ourselves.

Yes, having a child seems like a good dream but I want to time it and plan it properly.

Making a family is not some walk in the park.

It needs planning as well.

I want my kid to have a good family.

To grow up in a stable environment.

I don't want them to ever feel the way I felt in the past.

"If you're so insistent on having a child, why don't you have one instead" I kid.

Lia pursed her lips.

"I'm still a minor. I'll have to wait a few more months to do that. You on the other hand can have a baby already" she said.

My eyes widened at her.

"Excuse me? Did you just admit that the only reason why you're not thinking of having a child at the moment is because you're still a minor? Are you saying that if you weren't a minor, you'd be having a child already?" I asked baffled. Lia realized what she just said and she chuckled nervously.

"Liana Grey!" I said with a gasp.

Lia chuckled again..

"What? Didn't I tell you before that one of my dreams include being a young mom?" she said.

I gasped again covering my mouth in shock.

Where was all of this coming from?

"No, you did not. Since when was that one of your dreams?" I said.

"I think about a year ago, I think. I caught a very bad case of baby fever" she said with a giggle.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Then, Lia looked at me and burst out laughing.

I looked at her stunned.

"I'm kidding omg" she said laughing.

"Alissa, please. I'm not that naive. My alleged mate and I aren't even in good terms" she said.

I sighed in relief.

"I thought you were serious for a moment. I suddenly felt like you were a completely different person" I said.

Lia kept laughing.

"I'm not joking about wanting a niece though. The Palace is so dull and you and my brother are getting along so well and being all lovey dovey nowadays" she said.

I shook my head in disbelief.

"You know what, come with me" she said.

Lia dragged me to her room and she grabbed her laptop as we sat on her bed.

"One of my pass time is watching different kind of shows but this one is my favorite. Watch a few episodes with me" she said.

I sighed as she played the video.

I didn't say no to her and we watched the show and then another episode and another.

I was very entertained the whole time and I felt relaxed watching the kids in the show.

It really was so interesting and all.

Lia said we'd only watch a few episodes but I ended uo wanting to binge watch more so we did.

We kept giggling, laughing and overall was just having a good time as we watched the show.

For those few hours, it really did feel like having a child would be such a great idea.

I felt like I was crazy for thinking that.

How did I switch up so fast after watching a show?

Oh this is bad.

There was a knock on Lia's door.

"Who is it? We're busy" she said and stood up to open the door.

Lia opened her door and I saw Luke standing outside her room.

"I'm here to take my wife back please" he said.

Lia pouted then looked at me.

"Your husband is asking for you. We'll have to have a part 2 of our binge watching tomorrow" she said.

I chuckled and got up from the bed to go to Luke.

Just before I could leave the room, Lia pulled me and whispered to me.

"Think about it again" she said with a giggle.

I flushed red.

I left with Luke and I couldn't help bit suddenly feel awkward.

"What is it? What are you and Lia up to" Luke asked.

I glanced at him and as soon as I did, I looked away.

"What?" Luke asked.

I shook my head.

"Nothing" I lied.

Lia, what have you done to me.

"What is it? Tell me" Luke said sulking a bit that I wouldn't tell him anything.

I shook my head.

Ghad.

Get a grip, Alissa.
