The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 147 Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
I was shocked to know that he was still alive and now standing in front of us. I look at him intently. He looks like him, my mate. An older version.
I’ve been living in the werewolf world for a long time but I just saw him in person.
I realized, there’s so much I don’t know about him, especially his family. All I know, he hates humans. And it is because they killed his mother and sister.
“Dad,” I heard him whisper. He also seemed surprised by the sudden arrival of his father.

His father grinned, and slowly walked towards us. His eyes were fixed on me. It seems like he knows who I am, and what I am.
“Well, I’m glad you still know me, Son. It’s been a long time since the last time I saw you,” He said lowly and stopped walking.
Zachary nodded and hugged his father. I didn’t know they were this close, well as I can remember when we are still a child. He loves his father, always obeying his orders. So it is not surprising that they have a good relationship until now. But I’m wondering, does he know what his father did to my father and the whole pack?
I watched them until his father broke his embrace and looked at me, “I hear a lot about you, Harper,” why do I hear the sarcasm in his voice? ‘I’m glad you did, I also hear a lot about you, your majesty,” I answered back.
He laughed softly and patted my shoulder, “I’m sure you do, Harper. Anyway, just call me father, we’re family here.”
I don’t know how I will feel about what he said, how could he say that after what he did to my father and the whole pack?
“You didn’t say you were coming, Father. I hope we were prepared for your arrival,” My Mate interjected into the conversation. I know he feels the tension between the two of us.
He looked at his son, “There’s no need, I know you’re always ready. I just can’t wait to see your wife in person, who is also known as the only tribrid in this world,” he said and glanced at me.
Tribrid… The reason why he killed my father and burned the pack into ash. Is that what he means?
“I’m pleased to finally meet you in person,” As I said that, I went to him and hugged him.
“I know what you’re thinking, Harper. You loathed me, right?” I didn’t answer. Instead, I let go of the hug and stood next to my mate.
“Please, let’s go inside Father,” He invited him in. I was quiet as we walked into the palace, I was starting to get confused.
I told myself before, I will avenge them all. But why now that the person who is responsible for my father’s death is in front of me, I can’t do anything?
It’s funny to think, the world is so big but it seems so small because of what’s going on.
I clenched my hands and closed my eyes tightly. This is not the right time to think about this matter. I can’t do something that will harm me and the child inside my womb.
“Are you all right?” He asked me worriedly as we walked back to our room. He told his father to rest first and we will meet later tonight for dinner.
I sighed again and nodded, I don’t want him to worry and think about something. We have been through a lot, we even broke the bond, but still together until now.
“Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry, maybe I’m just a little tired. Come on, let’s rest,” I answered.
He nodded and rubbed my back gently. “Then come and rest.”
I also nodded and we both went to the room. He helped me lie on the bed and smiled.
“Have a rest. I remembered that I still have something to do. I’ll be back later, we’ll go to the dining room together,” he said calmly and k*issed me on the forehead. He looked at my stomach, slowly brought his l*ips to my tummy, and smiled.
“Have a rest too, baby. I can’t wait to see you,” he whispered and k*issed my stomach as well.
I smiled at the sight, I’m sure he will be a good father.
He looked at me again and nodded before leaving. I sighed when the door finally closed, “What will happen now?” I can’t help but worry.
I closed my eyes and tried to drift off to sleep, but after a few minutes, I still couldn’t fall asleep. I got up and sat down, I let out a sigh and looked around.
I looked at the terrace and didn’t realize that my feet had taken me there. The sun almost set, it was so beautiful to watch, I smiled and closed my eyes.
I took a deep breath and sighed, “I wish for long-lasting peace, please don’t take it away from me this quick,” I prayed to the moon goddess.
If she can hear me, I hope she will grant my little request. I’m begging her not to give me another problem, especially now and I can’t risk the safety of our future child.
I sighed again, the sky completely darkened. The breeze was getting colder so I decided to go out and look for Zach, what is he doing now?
I stopped the maid I met in the hallway, “Our Queen, what can I do for you?” she politely asked me.
I smiled, “Do you know where Zach is?” I asked her calmly. She nodded, “Probably in his office, our queen. I saw them together with Beta earlier, they seemed to be discussing something important.”
Oh, okay then. 1 nodded, “Thank you, you can leave now.”
She nodded and bowed before leaving. What are they talking about with Lance?
I went to his office, I was about to knock when I saw the door was open. It looks like they forgot to close, I shook my head.
I was about to enter but I heard something which makes me stopped from entering, “I know Harper knows everything,” What does he know that I know?
I frowned at what I heard. What are they talking about?
“I know she remembers what happened in the past,” he continued. His voice sounded troubled as he said those words.
“What is your plan then? If she knows what happened in the past, she will hate you, no, loathe you. You’re the son of the person who killed her father,” I closed my mouth tightly.
So he knows, he knows that his father was the one who killed my father? I nodded, I shouldn’t have to hear this anymore.
I know that there is a possibility that he knows about the matter, and I also know that he is innocent. The sin that his father committed will never be his sin.
So, he shouldn’t have to pay for something he didn’t do. I hated his father, not him, maybe before because of some other reasons. But not now, he should think about that one too.
“I don’t know. I don’t know how to explain everything to him either,” explain what?
“Don’t blame yourself, Zach. You were young when that thing happened. You have no control of everything, and besides, everything happens for a reason,” I agreed with Lance.
I heard him sigh, “I can’t help it. I feel that I am also guilty of what happened. I was old enough during those days, I should have done something to stop my father. And one more thing, I was there when everything happened, “he was there.
I didn’t know, I didn’t know that he was also there that night when everything was messed up. The houses are on fire, those screams are full of pain and agony. My father’s last word and apologetic look. His last tears of sadness.
“As I said, it’s not your fault. You’re not the one who killed him and caused the chaos. Yes, he’s your father. But you don’t have to suffer for something you didn’t do,” I clenched my fist tightly.
I nodded and stepped back, what I heard was enough. I started to walk away.
I went back to the room and just looked at the ceiling until the door opened. He came back, a smile on his l*ips as he walked towards me. I also smiled a little, he greeted me with a tender hug.
“You’re awake, how was your sleep?” He asked me gently. I nodded,
“Good. How about you, have you done what you were supposed to do?” I asked back.
He nodded and k*issed me on the cheek, “Yes, it’s over. Get ready and we’ll go to the dining room,” he said softly to me. I nodded, and he helped me get off the bed.
He’s spoiled me too much, maybe I’ll get used to this. “I’ll wait for you here,” he said and k*issed me on the forehead. I’ve already been k*issed a lot, I just smiled while shaking my head.
I entered the bathroom and took a quick half bath. After I got dressed, we went together to the dining room where I saw Lance with Amanda.
I don’t see Matthew now, maybe that boy is asleep. I looked at Zach’s father who was also looking at us now.
“Now that the two of you are here, we can start eating,” His father announced. I looked at him again, he looked happy and not bothered at all.
Is that how he treats the daughter of someone whom he killed? His face was thick, I stopped myself from getting angry.
No, Harper. Think positive, and don’t let your anger defeat you. I took a deep breath and smiled, “Thank you so much for waiting for us.” He nodded and motioned for us to sit down. We sat down, and Zach adjusted the chair for me. I smiled and mumbled thank you.
While we were eating, he suddenly asked his son. “How’s life, Zachary?” I saw him look up and smile.
“Great. I’m happy than before,” he answered and glanced at me. There was a wide smile on his l*ips, “Good to hear, but may I know why?” He asked again.
Zach took my hand, “Quite simple Father. My life became happier when I met her and I loved her so much,” I smiled at his answer.
“Ohh, sounds nice. But I heard, you rejected her when you first saw her,” he said casually.
We all looked at him, he knew that too. Of course, he is the former Alpha King after all, and besides, I know he still has ears and eyes in this place.
“Yes, but I regret that thing. We all make mistakes, but not everyone makes something to make it up. But me? I try to fix everything, changing for the better,” I looked at him. It looks like he wants to convey something from what he said, his father looks at him too.
“Agreed. Good to know then, you’ve changed a lot. I can’t believe it, it seems like just yesterday, you’re still carried by your mother,” Zachary quickly looked at him.
“I remember the old times. You love your mother and sister so much, we are all happy-” He cuts him off.
“Let’s not talk about this, Dad, please.”
He just bowed his head and obviously did not want his mother and brother to be mentioned.
“Why? I just remember the past-” He was cut off by him again. He stood up and looked at his father intently.
“I said, enough. We shouldn’t go back to the past. Especially that thing, they’re dead, Mom and Hera are dead!” I blinked a few times.
“There are things that need to be remembered, what if I say that it wasn’t humans who killed your mother and sister?” My forehead furrowed at what he said.
I saw him glance at me and grin, he also stood up. “That humans are not to blame?”
“What do you mean?”
