Alpha Queen
Chapter 148

Liviana’s POV

“T-too late” the man choked out.

I saw red as I aggressively threw the man to the wall.

Then, I pressed him on the wall while holding his neck.

“What they fck do you mean?!” I growled angrily.

Deep inside, I felt nervous.

They couldn’t possibly have Luke.

I know Luke is safe.

Right?

“Y-you know very w-well what I m-mean” he choked out.

Then, I stormed out of the room with Luan and Rainer behind me.

I was seeing red.

But at the same time, my heart was thumping inside of my chest.

I needed to get back to Luke.

I need to go back to my son.

As soon as we got out of the dungeon, Rainer shifted without a word and I got on his back before we sprinted back the palace.

Luan shifted as well and followed us behind.

My heart was beating rapidly inside of my chest.

No wonder I felt anxious.

They weren’t directly targeting me.

They were targeting my son.

My jaw clenched.

It can’t happen.

I won’t let anyone hurt Luke even if it kills me.

Rainer ran as fast as he could with me on his back.

As soon as we reached the palace, I didn’t wait for Rainer to stop.

I just jumped off him and sprinted inside.

I didn’t even care anymore if I was wearing a dress.

I just needed to make sure that Luke was safe.

Just by thinking about him being in danger makes me want to cry and breakdown.

I can’t take it.

The guards inside the palace glanced at me with a confused look as I rushed upstairs to get to my room.

Then, I suddenly saw uncle Dante by the hallway making his way to my room.

Why isn’t he with Luke and Kaley?

Uncle Dante turned around to look at my direction.

“You’re back” he said.

“Why aren’t you inside?” I asked as we both stood by the hallway.

“You called for me” he said with furrowed brows.

“What? I didn’t call for you, uncle” I said.

Both our eyes widened in realization as we rushed to my bedroom.

The door was locked and we had to break it open.

As soon as we opened the door, we saw Kaley on the bed but we didn’t see Luke.

We rushed to her as I looked around to replace Luke.

But he was nowhere to be found in the room.

We tried to shake Kaley awake but she was unconscious.

“Sht” uncle Dante cursed.

No.

I rushed to look in the bathroom.

In the closet.

Everywhere.

But Luke wasn’t here anymore.

“Get Kaley to the infirmary” I quickly said and rushed to the balcony.

I jumped without any hesitation.

I shifted mid air and landed on my paws.

I can feel Amara’s rage as well.

We ran to the woods searching for Luke’s scent.

They couldn’t have gotten far.

Fck.

I prayed multiple times to the moon goddess that nothing bad will happen to Luke.

Please.

I’ve already been through so much.

If I lose Luke, I won’t be able to take it anymore.

I’d really lose it this time.

So please…

I’m begging the moon goddess that Luke is safe.

Please…

I’ll do anything and everything.

Just please….

I sniffed and searched here and there to catch a scent of Luke.

But I couldn’t replace it.

I couldn’t replace him.

I couldn’t replace any other scent of an outsider as well.

I was so close to having a mental breakdown.

But I couldn’t give up.

Not until I know that Luke is safe and back to me.

Not until I can hug him in my arms and tell him it’s going to be okay.

He must be so scared.

Terrified even.

Luke is still so young and so small.

So vulnerable.

How can they be so cruel by taking him to take their revenge on me?

I started to blame myself.

It happened because of what I did years ago.

Now, my son is paying for it.

No…please.

I kept searching and searching until I eventually reached the end of the border.

I could already smell my men searching as well for their missing prince.

Just before I could get out of the border, I caught an unusual smell.

I immediately turned back and ran to that direction.

The strong kept getting stronger and stronger.

Then, I smelled b***d.

I quickened my pace.

Until I was finally able to hear growl, g****s and whimpers.

Finally, I reached a clearing.

I watched as a rogue came flying to a nearby tree beside me.

I turned to look at the person in the clearing.

I suddenly met eyes with a man.

He had red eyes, pale skin, and black hair.

But then, my eyes shifted behind him.

There sat my son wrapped up in a blanket with his eyes closed and his hands covering his ears.

Luke!

I turned to look at the man again and I saw him finish off the last rogue and threw it to the side.

The man looked at me and I growled at him.

My son opened his eyes.

“Mommy!” Luke shouted.

I was ready to pounce at the strange man but even before I could do that, I froze in my place.

It wasn’t in my own will.

I tried hard to move my limbs but I couldn’t.

I felt like I was being held in place.

I growled angrily as the man stared at me.

He’s scent wasn’t that of a wolf.

He’s no rogue either.

He suddenly picked up my son which made me angrier.

“Is that your mother?” the man asked Luke.

Luke nodded as he looked at me.

“That’s my mommy” Luke said innocently as he pointed at me.

The man looked at me again.

He tilted his head to the side as he looked at me.

“You’re a bad mother for letting your son get kidnapped” he said.

I growled at him again.

What does he know?

“You have an attitude too” he pointed out.

I had enough of him.

My eyes glowed gold as I summoned my powers.

Veins started to come out of the ground and they quickly wrapped around his legs.

He looked at it and his brows furrowed.

Then, he looked at me with a raised brow.

“You’re no ordinary wolf” he said.

“I’m not. Now, let the pup go” I delivered the message to him.

I don’t know how I did it but I just did.

I saw his stunned expression.

He received the message.

“Did you just talked to me telepathically?” he said stunned.

“Yes. Get over it and let him go before I dod something else that will surprise you” I warned.

The man smirked.

“Your mother is quite something, kid” the man said to Luke.

“My mommy is amazing” Luke said proudly with a smile.

The man let Luke down.

Luke immediately ran to me and hugged me.

“Mommy” he muttered.

I wanted to snuggle him but I still couldn’t move.

“I’m not letting you off until you get these things off me” the man said and pointed at the vines.

“And if you end up attacking us?” I accused.

The man chuckled in disbelief.

“I saved your pup. I didn’t even expect to be thanked but this is beyond ungrateful” he said.

I huffed.

They man rolled his eyes and looked at me.

Then, I was able to move.

I immediately snuggled Luke protectively.

My baby.

“Aren’t you planning to let me go now?” the man said.

I huffed.

I would keep him restrained but I don’t think I should.

I lowered myself and nudged Luke to get on my back.

Once Luke was secured on my back, I started to let the vines retreat to the ground.

“Better” the man said.

“Who are you?” I asked through the link I established with him.

“Who I am is none of your business” he said with a shrug.

Then, he looked at Luke.

“Take care, pup” he said to Luke.

Then, he looked at me again.

“You too” he said.

Before I could reply, we heard rustling in the woods and it was followed by the scent of my men and I turned to look at that direction.

When I turned around to look at the man from earlier again, he was already gone.

His scent lingered for a bit then it was soon gone.

I was sure that he wasn’t a werewolf.

His scent and awra was nothing that of wolf.

He wasn’t a hunter either.

He didn’t smell like a hunter or a human either.

His scent was too different.

But if he’s not a werewolf, a hunter or a human, what is he?

I haven’t never met anyone quite like him.

And seeing how many rogues he killed, it doesn’t seem like he’s anything to be messed with either.

My men finally reached us and saw the scene.

Luke held onto me in a hug.

“We’re going back. Clean this up” I mind linked my men and turned around to make my way back to the palace.

“Luke is safe with me. We’re going back to the palace” I mind linked everyone else.

Luke kept his body close to mine.

I felt relieved to know that he’s safe and unharmed.

The goddess know what I would’ve done if anything happened to him.

Though I feel confused with the being that I encountered earlier and saved Luke, I really couldn’t care less.

All that mattered was Luke is safe.

He’s safe.

My son is safe.
