Alpha Queen
Chapter 22

Liviana’s POV

Luan made his way to us and in one swift move, he held Howl by the collar.

“She’s my fcking mate! Back off!” he growled at Howl.

Howl looked at me wide eyed but then glared back at Luan.

“Well, I don’t see a mark now, do I?” he smirked at Luan making him more pissed.

Luan was about to punch him but I caught his fist.

“Don’t do it” I said sternly. His breathing was heavy and I know he was boiling with anger now.

I held his face.

“Let’s go home, okay?” I said softly. He started to relax and let go of Howl.

Suddenly, he lifts me up putting me on his shoulders like a potato sack and I squeak.

Fcking mate.

We went out of the restaurant and Luan put me in the shotgun sit. I frown.

“You didn’t even last an hour seeing me with Howl” I said knowing that he was there since the beginning.

“I don’t appreciate you flirting with another male, Liviana” he said with gritted teeth.

“I was merely teasing him, Luan. You need to chill out” I told him. He frowned as we drove off.

This is not the way back to the pack house.

“Where are we going?” I asked him with brows furrowed.

“Home” he said with a grin.

“This is not the way to the pack house” I pointed out.

“I meant our home” he said winking as he stepped on the gas.

Oh ghad.

“I swear I’m going to jump out of this car, Luan. Don’t try me” I warned him but he only accelerates.

What is wrong with him?!

I swear I was really considering jumping off.

But Amaris was holding me back.

This btch, really.

Finally, a familiar mansion came into view.

Oh.

We stop in front.

This is the same place I was in after I got shot by silver bullets.

Luan got off first and opened the door to my seat. I glare at him.

“This isn’t my home” I said with a frown. He sighed then leaned in before scooping me off the seat.

I growl.

“Let me go, Grey!” I scream.

“This is your punishment, mate” he said and slapped my butt cheek making me flush red.

He did not just fcking…

“Luan you—oh” I heard Beau’s voice. I stayed still knowing my rear was facing him and if I struggle to get out his hold, my dress will ride up.

“What?” he spat at Beau.

“You have visitor” he said.

“Who?” Luan asked.

“It’s Alfred and Evelyn” Beau told him.

Alfred and Evelyn?

“Where are they?” Luan asked Beau again.

“They’re in the liv—” Beau was cut off when I heard footsteps.

“Prince Lu—oh my” I heard another man’s voice.

Nice. Now, two men have seen me helplessly hanging on this excuse for a mate’s shoulder while my rear is facing them.

“Now your majesty, that’s not how you treat a lady” a woman’s voice said.

Finally, I bite onto Luan’s back making him shout and drop me.

I fell on my feet as Luan glared at me and I glared back at him.

“Not cool!” I snarl at him. He sighed.

I turn to see Beau, a man and a woman.

Both the strangers eyes widened when they saw me.

It’s like they saw a ghost.

“I’m sorry for that situation you caught us in” I said apologetically and glanced at Luan with a glare.

The man and woman glanced at each other and at me.

“I thought you’d arrive tomorrow” Luan said.

The man cleared his throat.

“We finished what we had to do earlier than expected, your majesty. We thought it would be best to come immediately” the man explained.

Luan nodded then turned to me.

“Who are they?” I mind linked him.

“The former head butler and former head helper in the castle. They served your father during his term and mine for a few years” he replied to me and my eyes widened.

That means they knew my father.

My b***d father.

“Let’s go to the living room” Luan said and we all made our way to the living room.

Luan held me by my lower back guiding me to the living room.

Sparks went flying with his touch but I ignored it as always.

I had better things to do right now.

We sat down on the large sofa in the living room as I faced the people who can possibly answer my questions about my parents.

“I’m truly sorry for the…scene you saw earlier. My name is Liviana Crest, Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. You both are?” I introduced myself.

“I am Alfred Reed, my lady” the man said bowing at me. I gave him a small smile and a nod.

“I am Evelyn Green, my lady” the woman said with a smile before bowing to me. I smiled back and nodded again.

I turned to Luan.

“Can we please have some privacy please?” I said through mind link. Luan stared at me for a moment before nodding.

Luan stood up and dragged Beau with him.

We watched as they disappeared upstairs.

I took a deep breath and turned to Alfred and Evelyn again.

They kept staring at me as if scanning my features.

“May I ask something to the both of you?” I said. They both nodded.

“Yes, my lady” they both said.

“Earlier when you first saw me. You’re reactions were….peculiar. Why? ” I said.

They glanced at each other again.

“We’re sorry, my lady. It’s just that you reminded us of someone” Alfred said. My head tilted to the side curiously.

“May I know who?” I asked.

“The former king, King Kale Alaric, my lady. You resemble him a lot” Evelyn stated.

Of course.

“King Kale Alaric” I muttered.

“What was he like?” I asked them. They both smiled but it didn’t reach their eyes.

“King Kale was a wonderful ruler, my lady. Although he had no queen by his side, he had not lack in leading the land. He was strict but kind hearted” Alfred stated.

“Like you, Liviana” I heard Amaris in my head and my heart clenched.

“What happened to him?” I asked them. They glanced at each other and I knew then and there that they know more than I thought they did.

“We do not know, my lady. The King disappeared and never came back. We then served the current King for a few years before we had retired” Evelyn said apologetically.

But I already know that they knew.

“Princess Diana White” I said and they both looked at me shocked.

I’m sure they were wondering how I even know the name.

“You know the truth, don’t you? King Kale had told you, didn’t he?” I said again. They glanced at each other again.

“How do you—oh my” Alfred stopped as he looked straight at me.

“Are you….?” Alfred said carefully.

“Princess Liviana Alaric” I said and they both gasped.
