The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 18 Thirst of Power
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
I don’t know if I’ll going to believe his words or not. Trusting him might be risky, I’m quite aware that if someone was angry to someone else, it will be h*ard to forgive that person.
He despised humans and he thought that I am a human. I wanted to believe him but, there’s something inside of me saying that this is all lie. That he’s just pretending.
I don’t know why I thought this way, maybe I got some trust issue. I took a d*eep breath and looked at him seriously.

“Give me a chance to prove myself to you.”
“Just do whatever you wanted.” I answered coldly. He became silent and just stared at me.
“Alright, I understand your anger.” Is the king had a twin? The man in front of me didn’t acted like the king I know. Strange.
“Okay?” I answered unsurely. I really don’t know what I’m going to say.
He smiled at my response. Oddly, he can smile too now.
“I’ll see you later, I gave you time to think. You can sleep here tonight too.” After he said that he turned his back on me and leave me alone. And hella confused.
What was that?
I stared at the door for how many seconds before shrugging my shoulder. He’s really acting weird, anyway, that’s better. He’ll tried me nicely this time. I won’t get too much pain from him.
But why I prefer the cold version of him, he’s clingy side was k*ill*ing me. I found it annoying, geez. I closed the door and get back on the bed.
Damn, I just remember I didn’t take a bath yet, we just swim on the lake an hours ago. I stand up and lazily went inside the bathroom.
After I take a bath and wore my clothes, I heard a knock on the door.
“Come in,” I answered why combing my long hair. Why I have the urge to cut this now? Nope, not now.
“The lunch was ready. They were waiting for you at the dining room.” It’s Emily. I looked at her and nodded my head.
“I’ll be right there later. You can tell them to start eating without me.” She shook her head.
“That’s not possible Queen, the king requested for your presence before start eating.” She answered.
Alright then.
“Okay, I’ll just finish combing my hair.” I told her. She nodded.
“You can leave now.” I continued. She bowed her head and take her leave.
I took a d*eep breath and finished fixing my hair.
“I hope something great will happen,” I murmured before leaving my room.
As I walked in the hallway, the maids stopped what they are doing and bow their heads. I think I won’t get used of that. I just don’t mind the and continue walking towards the dining room.
When I got there, a maid opened the dining room’s door for me to come in.
“Thank you.” I mumbled.
“You’re welcome Queen.”
I nod and smiled at her before I entered.
Amanda and Matthew were the first one who saw me, I smiled widely when Matthew pointed her little f*inger on my direction.
“Aunt Alizah!” He bubbly called me.
All of them looked at my direction, I notice that there are only six persons in the table including Matthew. I don’t know the another two, they aren’t familiar on my sight.
I walked towards Matthew place and greeted him back.
“Hello, Kiddo.” I messed up his hair and chuckled. I didn’t see this kid for how many hours.
“Oh my! She’s so pretty!” I looked at the short-haired girl when I heard her exclaimed that.
Huh? who is this lady?
“Oh, so bad of me, I’m Zandea and this is my mate Hiro. He’s the Royal Gamma and the king was my cousin.” She introduced herself and her mate.
The king’s cousin. So, she’s a princess?
I just nodded my head and smiled, she looked so nice so there’s no reason to treat her bad.
“I’m Harp—” I didn’t had the change to complete my sentence when she cut me off.
“Harper Alizah grace, your name was so long but beautiful it suits you.” She said while smiling. She’s really nice.
“Thanks.” I replied shortly.
“You’re always welcome. Anyway, have a sit no—” Before she can finished talking someone cut her off.
“You’re talking too much again, Zan. Stop it will you? You’re embarrassing my mate.” I can sense annoyance in his voice as he said that. Zandea looked at my mate and then smirk. Oh, I’m starting to love her guts.
“Oh really?” she asked and grinned.
“Did I embarrassed you Harper?” she asked me. I shook my head, nope she doesn’t embarrassed me.
“See?” He just rolled his eyes on her and stand up.
He adjusted the chair beside him.
“Come on, have seat.” He told me to do. I stared at him for a few seconds before nodding and started walking towards the chair.
I mumbled thank you as I sat down. Even I acted like this I still know how to say thank unlike him. Geez.
“Since we’re complete now, please dig in.” he emotionlessly said. Oh? Is he back on his cold personality?
They all nodded and started getting their preferred foods.
“Here, eat a lot.” I looked on my plate when I saw him put some meat inside of it. I thought his back? That his clingy and sweet personality were gone. Tsk.
“Thanks.”
He nodded his head and smiled at me.
“You two look so cute together.” I heard Zandea commented. We’re look cute together my a*ss.
I just smiled because I don’t want her to think that I’m rude.
“Stop messing around, Zandea.” He warned her.
“Okay, okay, you don’t need to warned me. I’m just stating my point of view okay.” She defends herself.
He looked so darkly at her, if his gaze can k*ill, she’s long gone now. I see, he doesn’t change at all.
“Alright I’ll stop now. You’re no fun, anyway Harper?” I give her a questioning stare.
“You want to hang out tonight?” she asked me.
“Zandea!” my mate warned her. What? She’s just asking me if I want to hang out with her.
“Relax king, I won’t take her on the club.” Club? She means Bar? That sounds exciting but I’m a type of person who prefer to stay at home than to go to that kind of place.
“Just keep on eating Zan, don’t talk too much. It’s annoying.”
“Tsk, grumpy.” I heard Zandea whispered. I just shrugged and eat silently.
“By the way king, I have received a news this morning.” The Gamma, named Hiro said.
“What?” he asked him.
“The Rivermoon Pack’s Alpha and Beta will come here tomorrow.” he answered.
“For what reason? Still the Rouge attack case?” he asked.
The rouges were attacking the packs under his pack?
“Yes King.” He answered.
“When the rouge attack started?” I mind linked Amanda. I saw her immediately looked at me.
“You scared the hell out me.”
“Sorry.” I quickly apologized.
“Don’t do it again.”
“Yeah, yeah, so?” I asked her.
“It started four to five month ago, I think.” She replied. four to five months ago? So, this is the latest problem of the Kingdom.
“Do you know the reason why the rogues were attacked the different packs of this kingdom?” I asked her again.
“I really don’t know the reason why but I had a theory. It either because of craziness or thirst of power.” She replied.
“Thirst of power.” I repeated her words.
That’s not surprising at all. Almost of all the creatures in this world wanted power, power to control, power to rule the world.
