Alpha Queen
Chapter 38

Liviana’s POV

I woke up to the most amazing scent and an indescribable feeling of happiness and warmth.

I snuggled into my pillow—wait…

My eyes opened in an instant only to see not a pillow but a person beside me.

My eyes widened and I stopped breathing for a moment.

Since when did I let a man sleep in my bed?

What type of she-wolf have I become?

I’m disappointed in myself.

“You’re not breathing” Luan said in his husky morning voice.

I gulped then gasped for air.

Luan slowly opened his eyes and a smirk crept on his lips.

“Good morning, baby” he said in a husky tone.

My heart began beating rapidly as I felt Amaris’ excitement build up.

Then I suddenly remembered what had happened last night.

Flashback…

“Stay” I whispered to him and I felt hims stiffen.

“What did you just say?” he asked out of breath.

I looked up at him.

“Stay. I want you to stay, Luan” I said shyly.

Luan smiled widely and he cupped my face before planting a k**s on my forehead.

“Okay” he agreed with a smile.

We went inside my bedroom awkwardly as he held my hand and sat on the edge of my bed.

I can feel my face heating up.

Did I make the right decision to make him stay?

Or should I just kick him out like I usually do?

“Come here, baby” Luan suddenly said and he pulled me to him as we both laid down on the bed.

I felt my body tense up.

Why am I suddenly like this?

Is it because of the mate bond?

I’m sure it is.

I’m never like this.

“It’s okay. We’re not going to do anything you don’t want to do” he assured me and I felt my body relax.

He pulled me closer as I used his arm as my pillow.

His scent and warmth is engulfing my body and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like how it felt.

Because I did.

“How are you feeling now?” he asked softly.

“Better” I admitted as I kept breathing in his scent.

It was the most enchanting scent I’ve ever smelled in my entire life.

“Good” he said as he planted a k**s on the top of my head. I smiled slightly at that.

“For someone who acts all cool and almighty, you suddenly seem like the exact opposite” I blurted out and he chuckled.

“That’s because of you” he said. I raised a brow at him.

“Me?” I said and he nodded.

“Yes, you” he chuckled and smiled. I gave him a questioning look.

“When we first met, I acted like the dominant male that I am because I was after all a prince and I always thought acting superior could get me everything I want because it always worked before” he started.

“But then there’s you. You didn’t let me dominate you or our bond nor did you make me feel like I was your superior” he said.

“It was impressive enough that you can meet my eyes and not cower in fear or submit to me immediately” he continued.

“I was so confused back then and just came into the conclusion that it was probably because of the mate bond and that’s why you weren’t intimidated by me” he told me.

“But I was wrong. It was because of a completely different reason” he said with a chuckle.

I chuckled too.

“It was because I was royalty myself” I said and he nodded.

“Exactly” he said and we both chuckled.

“Since being the dominant male didn’t work to help our relationship, I just did the last resort in hopes that it’ll work” he stated.

“What last resort?” I asked.

“Submitting to her highness Liviana Crest Alaric” he said as he lovingly caressed my hair.

Her highness…

Liviana Crest Alaric…

That’s me.

“Sure, my pride will probably broken and maybe my heart with it too but if it was what’s best for our relationship, I’d gladly do it” he told me and I chuckled at the first part about his pride being broken.

“I did the right decision, I think” he said as his hand cupped my face.

“I don’t care about anything else, Liviana. Right now, I only care about you” he told me and I smiled slightly. He did too.

After that, we fell asleep in each other’s arms.

End of Flashback…

I flushed red.

All that cheesy stuff happened last night.

Who am I and where’s the Alpha Liviana that I thought I knew?

“You look cute when you’re all blushing and confused” Luan blurted out and I covered my face with my hand.

Embarrassing.

“Don’t cover yourself, baby. I like seeing your blushing face” he laughed as he tried to pry my hands away my face.

No way.

I had enough embarrassment for the day.

“Baby—“

The door burst open and we both turned to look at the person by the door only to see Dante, Edmond and El all by the door.

I immediately got up and pushed Luan away like I was caught red handed from a crime I had committed.

The crime of flirting in my room.

Dante growled at the sight of Luan but Edmond and El only looked taken aback at the scene.

“We only slept together” I tried to explain but it came out wrong making Dante looked at me wide eyed and his eyes darkened in rage.

I immediately went to him when he started making his way to Luan’s direction.

“What I mean is, we literally just slept. Like you know…like close our eyes and go to slumber. Like sleep SLEEP and not sleep like did anything…s****l if that’s what you were thinking” I said defensively and Dante looked at me with his brows furrowed.

“You let some guy sleep in your room in the same bed?” he said almost accusingly.

“So what if she did? I am her mate after all. In the right time, we won’t just be ‘sleeping’ like we did last night” Luan said in a bored tone.

I glared at him as I held Dante back from attacking him.

“Watch your mouth! I’m not approving your relationship with my niece!” Dante growled at Luan.

I gave a ‘please just don’t’ look to Luan and he sighed and looked away from Dante so they wouldn’t end up in a bigger mess.

“Not this early in the morning, please” I said and Dante sighed.

“What even brings you all here this early when it’s a weekend?” I said.

“Alpha, the other pack Alphas are here for an emergency meeting, remember? We’re supposed to present them the rogue that was caught yesterday” Edmond spoke up.

Oh that.

I almost forgot about that.

How stupid.

I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration as I took a deep calming breath.

“Okay. I’ll be down in 15 and I approve of the Alphas entrance” I said.

“Yes, Alpha” Edmond said and bowed before leaving.

“You both need to go. I can’t get ready with the both of you here, can I?” I said with a raised brow.

Dante’s brows furrowed again.

“I’m not leaving you alone with that punk” Dante said and pointed at Luan.

“And I’m not keeping you both in the same room either” I said knowing they’d both probably kill each other the moment I step inside the bathroom.

“I’ll stay with Luan” El voiced out and I almost sighed in relief.

“Hear that? I’m not going to be alone with Luan. Now, go and help Edmond and also don’t forget to wear Pa’s clothes instead and mask your scent” I reminded him.

Dante sighed and nodded before glaring at Luan and leaving after he gave me a pat on my head.

Men.

El went inside my room as I got my clothes from my closet.

“I’m guessing that y’all are both getting closer huh” El teased and I slightly glared at him only making him chuckle.

“Uhuh. My mate is finally warming up to me” Luan said proudly as he laid back down comfortably on my bed.

El chuckled.

“Congrats, bro” El said playfully.

“Thanks, bro” Luan said back and they both laughed.

I rolled my eyes and went inside my bathroom as I turned on the shower.

Yesterday during the interrogation of that rogue and the pack’s traitor, I was the ruthless Alpha that any wolf would fear.

Then when I met my mom, I became the helpless and depressed she-wolf Liviana.

And with Luan, I became a needy and dependent mate that I never knew I’d become.

Today, I must be the Alpha Liviana Crest that everyone depends on for the safety and well being of the pack.

At this point, I don’t think I even know who I actually am anymore.

“You’re Liviana” Amaris said in my head.

I smiled.

“You’re the first female Alpha, the princess of both Lunar and Halo, the daughter of both Princess Diana and King Kale and also Alpha Dimitri, the niece of Hunter Dante, the mate of Prince Luan and so much more” Amaris reminded me.

She’s right.

I am a person with so many titles.

But I’ll always be Liviana.
