The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 144 (Harper Alizah Grace’s POV)
I slowly stopped moving when I found where she is. She was sitting down in the middle of a circle, her eyes were closed.
Around her, I feel strong power. This is only half of her power, does that mean she can still do more. She opened her eyes when she felt my presence, she looked calm like she’s already expecting for my arrival. “The tribrid, I finally got the chance to talk to you alone.” She float in the air, and I was just standing where I am.
I learned that what she was telling is true. No one can enter this place except the two of us.
“What do you really want?” I asked her. The edge of her l*ips rose in amusement. “Nothing too much, Larkspur. Actually, you already did me a favor.” What did she mean?

“I planned all of this for you to take their lives instead of me doing it. You did a great job in killing her father then her next,” why is she telling me all of this?
“Keriza is your daughter, why you want her to be killed?” I asked in disbelief. She shook her head, and went closer to me.
“You know some part of my story but not all. So I’ll tell you, you were right, his father raped me twenty eight years ago, because of that I got pregnant with her. I was forced to marry him even if I don’t want too. Werewolves technically ruined my life, I hate them so much,” she t*ouched my cheeks and smile.
“But then, a few years later. I found that, I can be powerful, I can take over the whole werewolf kingdom and slaves them all.” She continued.
“I pushed her to get in t*ouch with the king, and she succeeded. I found him easy to manipulate but then that daughter of mine ruined everything when she cheated on him.” I just listen.
“Oh, you’re loving to hear our story. I’ll tell more then, I know you’re the one who killed George, I’m glad you did. At last I’m free,” She’s not thinking straight now. How could she let her own daughter die?
“Are you gone mad?” I asked her which made her look at me again. “Mad? Am I mad? I’m more than that. But you can’t blame me for thinking this way,” I can’t but it’s unreasonable and very irrational.
“So what do you need from me?” I asked once again.
“I see that you’ve got some control in three worlds. I wanted to make a deal with you, help me in seizing the three kingdoms then I’ll gave your father’s memory. You want to know what exactly happened behind your back that time right?” I caught my attention. How did she get my father’s memories? No, she’s just tricking you. There’s no way that she got your father’s memories, Harper. I told to myself.
“What makes you think I’ll betray the three kingdoms just to help you?” She grinned and shrugged off her shoulder.
“Who knows? Your father’s memories is important than anything. You missed him now, right?” good try but she can’t fool me.
“I will never going help you. If ever I want my father’s memories, I’ll find ways to get it,” I said firmly.
“Alright then. It’s your choice,” That’s it?
“I won’t force you to do something for me, just like you, I can make it happen.” What did she mean? That she will seize the three kingdoms?
“I won’t allow you,” She nodded. She’s so calm, “I know you won’t, and you will do everything to stop me. But will you risk your health and the little life inside you?” my brow furrowed on what she said.
“Life inside me? Does that mean?…” She nodded. “You’re pregnant, and I already saw your child’s future very unfortunate.”
“What do you mean about that? If I’m really pregnant I won’t let anyone harm him or her,” she just laughed on what I said.
“Well said, Larkspur but you can’t change your child’s destiny. You will understand me as time passes by,” as she said that, the barrier surrounding us faded as she vanished in front of.
“We are going to meet again, Tribrid.” I let out a sigh when she’s gone. I look on my tummy and caressed it. Am I really pregnant?
“Harper! Are you alright?!” I heard him asked when he found me standing alone. He quickly checks up on me, worry can be seen in his eyes.
“Did you find her? Did she hurt you?” he asked again. I shook my head gently,” I found her but she doesn’t hurt me.” I murmured, still thinking about me being pregnant.
“Really? What did she do then?” He asked one more time. “She just said something I never thought she would say, she said…” he waited for me to say.
“She said that I’m pregnant with your child, Zach. I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not,” He was shock as I am.
“What if you’re really pregnant?” I smile and hold his chin. “Then we will be happy. We will take care of him or her,” what I said makes him smile too.
He t*ouches my tummy, “Daddy and mommy couldn’t wait to see you.” I playfully tapped his hand away from my tummy.
“We’re not sure yet. Let’s go, call some doctor to check on me up.” I told him. He agreed on what I said.
I didn’t mention about Keriza’s plan, I’ll just tell it later. What important right now is that to confirm if I’m really pregnant or not.
“Congratulations your majesty, she’s indeed pregnant.” The doctor confirmed. The two of us smile, I couldn’t believe it. Zach thanked and dismissed the doctor.
“You will be a great mother, Harper.” He said softly as he caressing my hair. The smile of my face widened, “You will be a great father too, Love.”
“So what’s the news, Harper? Cousin?” Sebastian burst inside the room without any warning. He stopped walking when he saw what are we doing.
“Am I missing something?” He asked. I chuckled, “Yes you are, but we will announce it later. As for what happened today, I’ll going to answer that some other time. As for now, I just wanted to have rest,” Sebastian nodded his head.
“My bad, alright then. Have a good rest,” he said and leave. “Let’s sleep, Love. I’ quite tired on what happened today.” He nodded and k*issed me on my forehead before laying down next to me.
Too many things happened in just a small span of time. Keriza is death, and her mother just let that happen. She even left and said that she’ll come back. I don’t know what exactly she was planning, I should be ready whatever that is.
I wake up in the next day it’s already nine in the morning. I overslept and didn’t even ate my dinner. Someone knocked on the door so I looked in that way, there he is, I saw him carrying a tray of food in his hand. Breakfast in bed huh, such a sweet gesture of him.
He greeted me good morning with his sweetest smile he can master. I couldn’t help but to smile back, “Good morning too.” He gently placed the food on the bed and gave me a k*iss on my forehead.
“You haven’t eaten any meal since last night because you were sleeping, I’m afraid our child will starve.” He said worriedly. I’m just too tired yesterday, if I’m not tired, I wouldn’t miss my meal.
“Thank you love,” I thanked him. He nodded, “Anything for you, my queen. Anyway, about what happened yesterday, you can just tell me and I’ll tell it to others for you,” he doesn’t want me to move too much eh? I nodded as I started to dig in my food.
“Yesterday, Keriza and I had a fight. I’m not hurt, I gave her the chance to back out and start over again but she was blinded by pain, hatred and loneliness. I didn’t want to take her life, but I did because I don’t have any better choice,” He just listened to me.
“We lost a lot of warriors yesterday, we need to make an apology letter to every family who lost their loves one. As a tribute, we will having proper burial for their bravery yesterday,” I continued. He nodded his head, “That’s what I’m always doing whenever there a war,” Good then.
“How about Keriza’s mother?” he asked. I let out a sigh, “She leave, she’s different from her daughter Keriza. She’s far dangerous, we need to be ready always. But as for now, I can assure peace.” He nodded once again.
“That’s all I need to hear. Eat now, love.” I did what he said because I’m starving on the first place.
After I was done eating, he took the dishes back to the kitchen. But before he go, he told me that I should just stay here and have a rest. While he on the other hand will start to work.
He even mentioned about our wedding, our true wedding, a few weeks from now. I was alone in the bed now, thinking about what she said.
About my father’s memory. I’m really curious and I wanted to know what happened.
Why Zachary’s dad betrayed my father? All I know the reason is me because he wanted to take me away for his own reason.
I remember the night when the attacked us. Everything was on fire, the agony, their painful screams, and my father’s last word.
In just a blink of an eye, everything became chaotic. Other groups, probably three, arrived at the place. As what I read in their l*ips, they were looking for me. What does they need from me?
That was what I think before, but realization hit me now. There are no different groups, it all werewolves. Werewolves who’s under the authority of their king, the former king of werewolves, Zach’s father.
“You can’t take my child away, you’ll taste death before you can do that.” I heard my father warned the man who punched him a while back.
Since before, he’s already interested of me because I’m a tribrid. The first and only tribrid of this world.
Remembering that he hurt my father boils my blood, I have the urge to hurt them too. But my father taught me how to control my power and be kind.
Only if I really used my power that time, I might have save them. That’s one of my greatest regrets.
“Then die,” with that a war started. That when I decided to come on, but it’s over. They were hurting my father, the whole pack. Some men started to burn the houses near to the mansion. What are they doing?
I was in the verge to cry, fear envelope my system when say the man smirked and give my father a strong and hard blow in the face. Father,
fight back. I whispered in the wind. And then, he looked in my direction. Blood is flowing in his l*ips and nose, but he’s trying to get up and fight back.
There’s an apologetic smile on his l*ips, he’s mouthing sorry. He’s sorry, he’s sorry that he couldn’t fight back anymore.
“My daughter, escape. Now.” My father last word before he lose his own breath in saving me.
I really don’t understand, how greediness and thirst of power can destroy everything, even a good relationship. My father is the kindest man I ever know, but look what he’s destiny is, he got brutality killed.
I let out a sigh, I shouldn’t think about that matter yet. If possible, I wanted to have an healthy pregnancy.
I go back to sleep again, when I woke up, I took a bath and go towards Amanda’s room. I wanted to have a conversation with her and also to pay a visit her cute little girl.
“Keriza was hopeless. She should change her mind,” She commented when I tell her the story.
“Well, she chose to die. May her soul rest in peace,” she continued. I chuckle, “You know. We can force someone to change, if they wanted too, they will… but since she chose her own fate, I’ll just gave her what she deserves.” She agreed on what I said.
“Right. You gave her a chance but she chose to ignore it and continue leaving in her fantasies. I couldn’t believe she’s actually a witch,” you can’t really tell something that you don’t know.
“It’s hard to tell. Anyway, I have one more news.” She looked at me curiously. “What it is?” I smiled widely, “Guess what?” she raised an eyebrow and looked like she was thinking.
“You’re getting marry?” I shook my head. “Yes, but not that. Everyone knew about that thing now, but what I’m going to say to you is different but have a guess first,” her brow furrowed.
“You’re pregnant?” She asked unsurely. I slowly nodded, which causing her eyes to widen.
“Really? You’re pregnant now? Does he know about it?” I nodded once again.
“Aside from me, he’s the first one who knew about it, then you. We will announce it in our engagement party four days from now,” I answer. She smile warmly, “I wish the best for you.” She said and gave me a hug. I hugged her back, “The same as you. I couldn’t believe that I’m slowly getting the things that I wanted,” I said dreamingly. She nodded, “You deserves it, Harper.” I really do.
I carefully tapped my tummy, “Mommy will love you dearly.” I whispered.
A few days later, this is it, our engagement party. Everyone is allowed to attend, so my human friends were here again. They will stay longer her till my wedding will be done. They were quite excited and happy the moment I told them.
My cousin was talking a lot in front of me but I wasn’t paying attention. She talks a lot even if no one is listening to her.
Why I am the one she’s pestering anyway. Where is her lover boy Wilson? I look at her and sigh.
“Can you stop talking for a while, Lisa?” I asked her. I’m glad because she stopped, good.
“Did you see my brother and his wife?” she look around the whole place. “I think I saw them talking with your mother a few minutes ago,” she answered. She finally said something good.
“Help me to assist the visitors, I’ll just go and find them,’ all she can do it to nod her head.
I found them really having chitchat with my mother. “Hey,” I interrupted them. They all look at my direction and smile, my mother gave me a warm hug like she always do.
My brother hugged me too while Samantha she giggled and hug me tightly. ‘You look so beautiful, your life was upgrading huh, I’m not shock anymore if anytime today or later, you’ll say that your pregnant,” I just smile even if I wanted to answer that I’m really pregnant.
‘You’re talking too much again, honey. Remember that were not in our territory, if someone doesn’t like how you act, deal with it alone.’ My brother said jokingly. He might be sound so serious but I know he’s just joking.
Samantha playfully punch his shoulder, “That’s so bad of you. I’m carrying your child and you’re telling that I’ll take care of myself if someone might hurt me?” the smile on my face, widened. They never change, still arguing as always. I know a lot of couple who’s acting like this, I can’t deny the fact that Zach and I were like that too.
That man really loves to annoy the hell out of me. I shook my head, “No worries, Sam. You’re safe here,” I assured her.
She rolled her eyes on her husband and then smile sweetly to me. “This is one of the reasons why I like Harper more than you,” my brother chuckled.
“I know, because you love me, not just like.
“Ohh… that’s my brother. “Excused them. Anyway, honey, where’s your husband to be?” Mom asked me.
“He’s already around mom, welcoming our guest.” I answered. She nodded and slowly, she hug me again.
“I can’t imagine my only daughter is getting marry in just a few days from now. I’m really happy for you, sweetie.” So, I am mom, I’m beyond happy.
“My two children grow up now, they will be having their family. I don’t have anything to wish for now, to see you too happy, I’ll be the happiest mother alive,” My brother and I look at her.
She might be not a perfect mom, but she’s the best. I hugged her, my brother hug her also. We’re getting too much drama now here, eh? I giggled and pulled away from the hug.
“I’ll go around mom and look where my future husband is,” I said. They nodded, and said “congratulations.”
A few minutes of finding, I saw him talking to his cousins, Cody and Sebastian. “Yes, I’m the happiest man alive now. Having her in my life is a blessing,’ That’s so sweet of him. Cody saw me approaching but I sigh him to remain silent, the same as Sebastian.
I carefully snake my hand around his waist and gave him a back warm hug. “Having fun here, love?” I asked him.
I removed my hand on his waist and made me face him. Then he embraced me again, “Indeed. But it will be more fun when you’re around me.’ Cody fakes a cough.
“Someone is single here, hmmm.” Haha, he’s funny. Zach just ignored him. “Did someone already say how beautiful you are now?” he whispered while tugging my loose hair behind my ear. “You’re so gorgeous,’ That makes me smile widely.
“Come on man, let’s just leave them alone here,” Cody took Sebastians hand and dragged him away. I couldn’t help myself but to burst into laughter, what a bitter man.
He’s the only one aside from Zeira who’s still unmarried now. Those two will grow alone.
“Don’t mind him, he’s just jealous.” He said and averted my gazed on him. I playfully slap his shoulder,” Don’t be like that on your cousins. Come on, let’s just continue this when we are alone. For now, we need to welcome our visitors for us to start this event, dear future husband of mine.” The edge of l*ips rose.
“Alright, future wife of mine.” He replied as he k*issed me on my forehead. The two of us welcome the guest, vip or not, they were all the same.
At exactly eight thirty, we started the event. He is giving his opening remarks now, saying how happy he is for having everyone to celebrate their engagement party.
“I wanted to invite my fiance on stage to show you all how beautiful my queen is,” Such a charmer. I walk towards the stage beside him.
“I wanted to use this moment to thanks my friends from human world, Rye, Jill, Lilia, Lily and June, thanks for coming. And also, to my brother, his wife, Samantha. Thank you also. I would like to acknowledge the presence of the king of vampire, King Jameson with his family, Queen Lilian and Prince troy. Also, my beloved mother, I love you mom,” My mother replied, “I love you too.”
“To the queen of witch, Aunt. To my cousin who talks a lot, Lisa. And to all the royalties of this kingdom, Princess Zeira, Zandea, Prince Cody and Sebastian. Also to you Mindy, Hiro, Lance and to my best friend, Amanda. I’m very happy to have you all here,” All of them clapped their hands.
“Before we will going to end our very long speech. I would also like to use this opportunity to announce to all of you that… I’m pregnant.” Almost of them were shocked on what I said.
When the information I gave sink in their mind, the all congratulates us. “We are happy for you, your majesty, our queen!” The crowed happily said. I am too, I’m so happy.
“Everyone, enjoy this night. And all of you were invited to our wedding day,” We ended the speech and went down from the stage.
My mother was smiling so widely, “I’m so happy for you, my daughter. At last, you get the happiness you deserve.” She hugged me. I’m glad I did.
I saw Samantha and my brother approaching me. “I told so, you will announce something like that. But I’m still shock, congratulations, Harper, your majesty.”
“Thank you,” I replied. I felt Zach snake his hand around my waist and pulled me even closer to him.
“Thank you, and please just call me Zach.” Samantha nodded.
The only thing I wish this moment is to have a better future ahead us. My health, the life of my baby will be safe and sound. I took a deeply and look around, everyone is happy.
“Congratulations, Alizah, Zach.” Rye congratulates us.
“Best wishes, Alizah.”
I wish too.
