The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 99

Alissa's POV

I looked at the mirror and twirled around with a smile on my face.

Today, we get to go to the mall and look for baby stuff.

I'm only a month in and still have 3 months but I just feel like being ready so early isn't a bad thing. Anyway, we're not going to shop immediately. Just keeping a look out for some nice stuff for Reeva. Also, it's a good excuse for me to get out since I've been confined in Luke and I's room for weeks.

What I need right now is a little change in the environment.

I wore a mint green dress and a pair of white sandals then I styled my hair into a half up and did a little bit of makeup on my face.

The door to the room opened and Luke peeked inside.

It was Luke.

"I finished preparing. Are you ready?" Luke asked.

"Uhuh" I said and grabbed my bag and went to Luke.

Luke held my hand as we got out and walked in the hallway to downstairs.

"You look excited" he said.

"Well, it's been a while since I went out so yeah I'm pretty stoked" I said cheerfully.

Luke smiled.

"I wish I could take you out more, I do. But I'm always so anxious that something bad might happen when we're out and I'm not taking any chances with your safety and our child's safety" Luke said. I squeezed his hand a little.

"I know. I understand what you mean. This pregnancy is new to us and the risks increased when I became royalty and then got pregnant. I understand, Luke. Don't feel too guilty about it" I told him. Luke sighed in relief then kissed the back of my hand.

It's true. I understand where Luke is coming from by being cautious all the time specially now.

In the past, I'm confident that I can take care of myself well.

But then, I got married to Luke, became Queen and now I'm pregnant.

I can still take care of myself but with my state at the moment, I wouldn't want to take any chances either.

It's not just about me anymore.

I now have a partner. One who depends on my existence.

And now, I also have a child inside of me. It's existence will also depend on me.

Before, risking my life is not much of a big deal to me. Now, it's different.

Luke and I arrived downstairs and everyone was already waiting for us.

Bry rushed to me and held my hand.

I gently squeezed his cheek with a smile as he looked at me excitedly.

"Shall we?" Lucas asked and we all nodded.

In the car, Lucas, Bry and I sat together. Luke sat beside Bry and Lia was in the front.

Of course, Luke wasn't the happiest since I preferred sitting beside Lucas than him.

Still, he didn't complain. More like he couldn't complain and that just made me chuckle.

After some time, we reached the mall and the guards opened the door for us and I got down.

Bry held my hand and Luke stood beside me and I held onto his arm.

"Let's go!" I said cheerfully and we walked inside the mall.

We were most definitely attracting attention since we were a big group and probably because of Luke, Lucas and Lia's awra.

The siblings definitely screamed rich RICH. It's different when it's just Lia and I.

We usually don't stand out as much but since we were all together, we're definitely getting a whole lot of attention.

We went inside the stores together. First, the clothing stores.

I also needed to buy a few pieces maternity clothes since I don't think any of my clothes will fit me once my bump gets bigger.

Luke assisted me the entire time and he almost bought everything I touched if I didn't stop him.

We also bought clothes for Bry and also some toys then proceeded to check on the baby stuff.

It was all so cute with the cribs, strollers, the tiny clothing, baby bottles and so on.

The girls section definitely got my attention the most with all the cute dresses.

I stopped and looked at one particular dress that I thought was absolutely adorable.

Luke stood beside me watching me.

"Do you think we'll have a daughter?" he asked.

I shrugged.

"Do you?" I asked back.

"I don't but having a little Princess sounds promising to me" he said with a shrug.

I chuckled.

"I, second that. It would be so amazing to have my little bestie" Lia said.

"But, a healthy pup is all that matters" Lucas added.

I smiled.

"Agreed" Bry said and we all laughed.

We continued shopping and after that, we went to eat.

Luke insisted on somewhere fancy but I craved fast food instead so I won that one.

We went to the fast food restaurant and ordered our food.

I was giddy the whole and Bry matched my energy.

After that, I of course ended up feeling sleepy so we had to drive back home immediately since I no longer had the energy to continue and we finished shopping anyway.

I fell asleep in the car and I felt it stop at some point and someone lifted me up.

It was Luke, of course so I just laid my head on him until I felt the soft bed beneath me and he laid me down.

I continued to sleep and I didn't expect that I'd end up sleeping for so long.

I must've been so tired.

When I woke up, it was already almost midnight.

I looked to my side but Luke wasn't there.

I pouted a little but decided to replace him so we could eat together.

I was feeling a bit hungry.

I got out of the room and a pair of guards followed me.

"Help me replace Luke please" I said with a yawn.

The guards nodded and we started searching for Luke.

Where could he be at this time?

I made my way to his office and when I got there I knocked first but no one answered.

I peeked inside to replace out that Luke was indeed inside but he was knocked out infront of his laptop.

I chuckled and went inside to wake him up and make him move to the room with me so he can sleep properly.

When I got to his desk, I saw that his laptop was still open and when I looked at it, I was a amused.

Displayed on the screen was a shopping website.

On the website were different variations of baby stuff.

I smiled.

Is this what he's been doing?

I chuckled at the thought.

Then, I gently shook Luke.

"Luke, wake up" I said softly.

"Luke" I said.

Luke started to wake up and sat up properly then rubbed his eyes.

He looked so cute and innocent.

"Hey" I said softly.

"Hi" he said sleepily.

I smiled.

"Let's go to the bedroom. Why would you fall asleep in your office" I said.

"Sorry" Luke apologized and stood up.

Then, he gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I just chuckled and held his hand.

Luke and I walked back to the bedroom and got inside.

Luke flopped down on the bed then he opened his arms.

"Come here" he said.

I went to him and laid on his arm and cuddled me in bed.

I snuggled closer to him.

We were like that for a while and I could tell that Luke was already sleeping.

But I couldn't fall asleep.

I felt the need to eat but I didn't want to wake Luke up again so I decided I'll just cook something for myself.

I carefully separated myself from Luke and got out of bed.

"Where are you going?"

Luke suddenly woke up and I looked back at him.

Luke sat up and he rubbed his eyes and looked at me sleepily.

"I want a midnight snack. I didn't want to wake you up. I can make it myself" I said.

Luke shook his heaf and got out of bed.

"I don't want you to" he said with a yawn.

Then, he held ny hand.

"Let's go" he said and gently pulled me with him out of the bedroom and we made our way through the hallway.

"If you want or need anything, just tell me. I don't want you doing it all by yourself" he said.

I pursed my lips and nodded.

We went downstairs and to the kitchen.

I wanted a sandwich so I told Luke that and he started making it.

I watched as Luke sleepily made my sandwich.

This isn't my first midnight craving and I really do feel bad.

He doesn't get to rest because of me.

As I watched Luke I realized a lot of things.

We didn't plan this pregnancy but it really helped show a different perspective to people.

I can still remember our conversations when we were in Crescent Moon.

Like for Luke example.

I didn't think he was ready to be a father yet but looking at him now.

I know that he's ready.

And I know he's going to be such a great parent to our child

I'm so glad.

I really am.
