The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 159 (Harper Alizah Grace’s POV)
He only remembers painful memories. I never thought we would end up in this situation again. My tears were rolling down my cheeks while looking at him.
“This can’t be… I whispered slowly. He glared at me and slowly approached me. His eyes were screaming pain and hatred.
“Why? Do you think you’re the only one struggling? That you’re the only one who’s hurt? You’re acting like you’re the sole victim here, Harper. You’re so f*ucking unfair! I can’t let this happen all the time! I can’t just let this go!” My jaw dropped as I looked at him in disbelief. Even if we are arguing before, he never said something like this.
Is he saying this because this is what he feels, or is it because he’s under Kesha’s control? “What now, Harper? Why you can’t say something?” I closed my eyes tightly and looked at him intently.

“We already talked about this, Zach. You agreed to start over again. We forgave each other. I know I hurt you, and you’re in pain. But I believe you’re not with yourself. You don’t know what you are saying now. You need to free yourself from Kesha’s control. Come back to me, my love,” I said calmly while trying to get his hands. He’s just looking at me while thinking deeply. It seems like it is working. Will he remember everything if I keep on doing this? I was about to hold his hand, but Kesha talked.
“Your time is up! I’m afraid your ten minutes is done, Harper,” Kesha interrupted. I looked in her direction. I can see her smirking widely right now.
“No, it’s not. Give me five more minutes,” she shook her head and took Zachary away. “No. Your ten minutes are up, and you failed to convince him,” I shook my head and tried to pull him, but Kesha glared at me. “No, you can’t, Harper. I gave you a chance already. But now, you’re the one who needs to choose,” my brow furrowed. Why do I need to choose? I sighed, “All right, what is it?” I bravely asked. The edge of her l*ips rose even more.
“So brave, Harper. I don’t want the blood to shed. I just wanted something to happen,” and that is? “I wanted to rule this world. For me to do that, I need your help, Harper,” she continued. Her face was no longer showing any emotion but seriousness. I can see that she’s sure about what she was saying. But ruling the whole world is crazy. She’s crazy, indeed.
“Don’t listen to her, Harper!” I heard my brother yell from the crowd. I looked in his direction, and all of them shook their head in disapproval.
“Eyes on me, Harper,” I looked back at Kesha again. “I wanted you to choose. You’re coming with me, and let’s rule the world, or I let your loved ones go?” She asked while pointing to Zachary.
“Don’t believe what she’s saying, Harper. Don’t let her play you; play us!”
“Shut the f*uck up, Troy! You’re not the one I’m talking to. Know some manners,” Kesha snapped him out. I bit my inner l*ip while thinking about what I should do.
“Shut the f*uck up too, Kesha. I can’t let you have what you wanted!” Kesha just smirked. “I don’t care, Troy. You’re not the one I needed. So, your words don’t matter.” I wanted to cover my ears because of what I was hearing. This is confusing the hell of me.
“I won’t let you fool my sister, Kesha!” I closed my eyes tightly. “All of you shut the f*uck up!” They all keep their mouth closed. I took a deep breath, “Tell me, how can I be so sure I can trust your words?” I asked her seriously.
“It’s on you if you believe. But if you will come, I’ll let him go now,” I looked at Zachary. I can see a faint emotion on his face now. Could he be trying to let himself go from Kesha’s control? He slowly shook his head, but suddenly, his face turned cold and serious.
“And I can assure your son’s safety. I won’t hurt him. And lastly, if you’ll come with me now, there’s war now.” “But it will happen soon,” I added. She smirked, “Of course. There will be a war because they will do everything to stop me,” I know about that matter too. She wanted to rule the three kingdoms, the witch, vampire, and werewolf kingdoms. And she will use me because I’m a tribrid.
“Harper, don’t tell me you will agree?” Liza said in disbelief. I looked in their direction. I know they will hate me for what I do, but they need to trust me.
I gave them a sad smile, “I’m sorry.”
“I agree. But make sure that you’ll keep your promise. I’ll go with you now—” I couldn’t finish what I said because someone was talking behind me.
“You don’t have to do that, Harper.” We all looked around to see who was talking-the former king of werewolves, my husband’s father.
“You don’t need to go with her. Kesha’s doing far enough,” my brow furrowed, and I just looked at him.
“I know I was the worst father in this world because I let her control my son and me. I was blinded by revenge, power and greed.”
“I realised that this is enough. You need to stop now, Kesha,” Kesha’s brow furrowed.
“Really? From what I remember, you’re the one who killed Duncan, her father. You’ve done enough too. You don’t have the right to blame me for everything and act innocent. Do you want me to say everything you did?” Zachary’s face paled.
“Oh, why am I even asking that? Since we are all here, why don’t I tell a story?” My face became serious. I wanted to hear about her story.
“Louisa, Selene, and I lived peacefully in the witch kingdom twenty years ago. And then, one day, I fell in love. Selene fell in love, too, but I warned her about it. She did not listen and even loathed me. Because of her failed love life, we grow to hate each other,” I already know about that one.
“Time passed, and Selene met Duncan, your father, Harper. Duncan is the man I love,” she paused and looked directly into my eyes.
“Maybe, you’re thinking that your parent is the loveliest parents of all. That they fell in love and have you. Duncan and I used to love each other. We love not until one day your mother shows up. She ruined our relationship. She stole him away from me, and the night they slept together, I got raped.”
I can hear the pain in her voice while she’s saying all those things. I don’t know what I should believe anymore. “He married your mother without knowing who she really is Maybe, Duncan did not even know she was
married to the vampire king and had him,” She pointed to Troy.
I looked at my Aunty Louisa. She did not say all of this. Is she trying to hide something? She looked down. I let out a sigh.
“I was there every time he needed me the most. But when I need him, he’s not around. It’s too unfair, so I won’t let anyone of us be happy.”
“That’s enough, Kesha!”
She shook her head, “No, they need to know everything. Especially you. You’re blaming someone for the death of your wife and daughter, even if you’re the one who killed them. You want them to die because you love Selene. But when Selene rejected you, your framed her. You’re a ruthless man who doesn’t deserve to be loved. I won’t wonder if your son will hate you or, worst kill you!”
Zachary’s father glared at her and choked her, “You’re the one who controlled those humans before. You’re the one who framed her, not me!” Kesha laughed sarcastically. She quickly took his hands off her neck.
“You asked me to do that. Why you’re acting innocent now?” They blame each other while, on the other hand, the two of them are at fault. Their lies and scheme cause too much trouble in everyone’s life.
“I did not plan everything. Yes, it’s my fault that I love someone I should not love. But that’s just temporary, and
I regretted everything!” Kesha laughed again.
“You’re so funny, do you know that? Did you regret it? It’s too late for you to regret it. Don’t act like an innocent man now because you’re not. If life will make me pay for what I did, so you are,” As she said, her features changed.
She was sealing her true power a while ago, but now I can feel it. It is the same power I felt before. Quite terrifying. The sky darkened as the cold wind t*ouched my skin. It’s giving me goosebumps.
Her skin turned pale as her nails and hair grew long. Her eyes darkened like she wanted to kill someone. “This is what you get on betraying me. I know you’re afraid because I can get what I want now. You’re afraid that you will be just a slave. Your reign is gone; you’re not the werewolf king anymore. Die!” Zachary’s father’s feet slowly rose from the ground.
His face held so much terror that he feared what would happen. I know Kesha sealed his wolf. He was cursed like Zachary. I closed my eyes tightly when I heard him scream in pain. I can’t let this happen.
“STOP!” Even if he’s the one who killed my father and caused me pain. I can’t let him die. He’s all he had, and I can’t let her kill him.
“I’ll go with you. Just… just don’t kill him,” she stopped what she was doing and looked at me. I made up my mind, I’m not sure about this, but I need to take a risk.
