Alpha Queen
Chapter 79

Liviana’s POV

“Hey! There are mate less wolves in the same car. We would appreciate it if you don’t act all lovey dovey around us. It’s an eye sore” Abe complained.

I chuckled.

“Piss off, Abe. Just mind your own business” Luan told him making Abe pout.

Beau and Cassandra laughed.

We’re currently in the back seat of the car while the Haymes siblings sat on the passenger seats.

We left really in the morning and ended up sleeping inside the car.

Luan and I were basically cuddling each other in the back and I guess that annoyed Abe.

I found it funny.

I never expected to replace myself in the kind of situation where I’m being to lovey dovey with a partner.

Let alone leaving my pack to attend a party.

But, here I am.

Miles and miles away from home heading to strangers’ territory.

“Don’t mind him” Luan whispered to me.

I chuckled.

“Did you think I was really paying attention to Abe’s whining?” I said.

“Hey! I can hear you loud and clear” Abe complained.

We laughed.

The trip went a little while longer.

Until finally, we arrived at our accommodation.

Yes, accommodation.

Not the palace.

I insisted that I didn’t want to be inside the palace and my uncle felt the same way.

He strictly told my mate, or well threatened Luan to replace another place to stay the night after the party or else he won’t let me come no matter what.

So that’s what Luan and I did.

We checked in a fancy hotel in the area.

The Haymes siblings on the other hand, had no choice but to stay in the castle.

“I just called my makeup artist. She’ll be here by 3 to fix us up for the party at 8” Cassandra said.

I nodded in understanding.

5 hours seem an awfully long time to prepare.

But what do I know?

“First, let’s have lunch. We barely had anything for breakfast since we left so early” Beau suggested and everyone agreed.

We checked in and went to the restaurant inside of the hotel for lunch.

“Are you hungry?” Luan asked as he walked beside me and held me by my waist.

“I definitely am” I told him and he chuckled.

“Then it’s a must that we eat as soon as possible. I wouldn’t want my babies getting hungry” he said.

My brows furrowed at Luan.

Did I hear that correctly?

“Babies? As in plural? Babies?” I repeated and he nodded.

I raised a brow at him but then he reached out to to me with his other hand and gently rubbed my belly with a smile.

“Our baby” he said with a wide grin.

My jaw almost dropped to the floor.

I immediately hit his hand away and glared at Luan as he laughed hysterically.

“There’s no baby there!” I said with a frown.

Luan chuckled.

“We never know” he said with a shrug.

I gave him a ‘what the actual fck’ look.

I do not have the time and energy for a baby right now.

“Stop doing that. This isn’t exactly the perfect time to have pups” I told him.

Luan sigjed and pouted.

“Why not?” he asked like a little kid.

“You already know why. You should know why” I said and he only sighed.

I do like kids.

That’s why I’m extremely fond of Ellie.

But I personally do not think that I’m ready to be a mother just yet.

I mean, come on?

I haven’t even graduated high school just yet.

I can’t have a pup right now or anytime soon.

The poor little being will only suffer because of the current situation her mother is in.

We ordered our lunch and talked about royal matters once more.

We recalled all the things they told me from yesterday over dinner when we were doing ‘princess lessons’.

Ay this point, I’ll be able to to memorize everything word for word.

After lunch, we went to Luan and I’s room since the Haymes siblings wanted to stay with us longer.

“I’m going to take a nap” I told Luan.

“Sure, baby. Do you want me to join you?” he asked softly.

“It’s okay. You can stay here with your cousins. I just need more sleep” I said and he nodded.

Luan gave me a k**s on the forehead and I went to the bedroom to take a nap.

I felt restless.

I couldn’t sleep completely.

I guess I was more anxious than I thought I was.

So much for being the fearless Alpha.

Well, it’s not really tgat I’m like scared SCARED.

It’s just that, I have this really bad feeling about something.

I sighed.

I took a nap for about an hour.

Then, I woke up and took a long shower in the bathroom to freshen up and wore an oversized button down polo.

There was a knock on the door and it opened revealing Luan.

“Hey” he greeted softly.

“Hi” I said and he came in.

“The make up artist is here for you guys. Cassandra is getting prepped now” he told me and I nodded in understanding.

I guess it’s almost time.

“Come here for a moment” Luan said as he sat down the edge of the bed.

I went to him and he gently pulled me to sit on his lap.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

I cupped Luan’s face and gently smiled.

“I am. I’m just a little anxious, that’s all” I said.

Luan buried his face on my neck and placed gentle k****s on my jaw to my neck to my shoulder.

“I would never let anything bad happen to you” he whispered to me.

“I know” I said with with a smile and leaned my head on Luan’s shoulder.

Luan held my face as he stared at me.

“I love you, Liviana. You know that right?” he suddenly said. I smiled.

“Of course, I know” I said and leaned in to give him a peck on the lips.

Luan smiled.

“Let’s go” I finally said and got up from Luan’s lap then pulled out of the bedroom with me.

When we got out to the living room, I immediately saw a bunch of stuff scattered around the room to which I assume are the things we’ll need to get ready.

“Hey, Livi” Cassandra greeted when she saw while she’s getting her makeup done.

Everyone else turned to look at me.

Even the make up artist and her staff who by the way are actually humans.

“Good afternoon, sleeping beauty” Abe teased and I rolled my eyes with a chuckle.

Luan sat beside the twins and pulled me to sit on his lap instead of beside him.

“Yo. This two are at it again” Abe started to whine again making the 4 of us laugh.

“If you’re so jealous, you might as well set off to replace your own partner” I told him.

Abe frowned.

“As if it was that easy” he said.

“Who knows? She might be at the party tonight” Beau said.

“Don’t give me too much hope” Abe said with a sigh.

We chuckled.

I decided to give my uncle another call. I already sent him texts and also called him a few times since we left.

I excused myself and went out of the hotel balcony and dialed Dante’s number.

He immediately picked up.

“Hi” I greeted.

“Hey, princess. How are you? Is everything okay? Did anything happen?” he asked worried.

I chuckled.

“I’m fine, uncle. I just wanted to tell you that the people doing our makeup are actually humans and they’re actually here now” I said.

I tried to update him as much as I can so he wouldn’t worry too much and get himself in trouble.

“That’s better” he said.

“By the way, where’s Luan?” he asked.

Every time I call, he asks that.

“He’s in the living room with everyone. I’m in the hotel balcony right now to talk to you” I told him.

“Okay but please, Liviana, in the party, don’t go anywhere without Luan. Just always stick to his side” he reminded me for the nth time.

“Yes, don’t worry” I said.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

“Come back safely, okay Liviana?” he said and I smiled.

“I will. Don’t worry too much. Your niece isn’t a pushover” I assured him.

“Okay. Call me before you guys leave to go to the party” he said.

“I will. Talk to you later, uncle” I said.

“Okay, princess. I’ll wait” he said and we ended the call.

Then, I went back to the living room and sat beside Luan.

“How was the call?” Luan asked.

“It was fine. Uncle did ask where you were again and just reminded me of a few things” I said with a shrug.

“I think your uncle is getting quite fond of me now, is he?” Luan said with a chuckle.

“I don’t think he has much of a choice” I said and laughed.

Luan slightly pouted.

“Livi, I think you got your vibe from your uncle. You guys radiate the same energy” Abe pointed out.

I chuckled.

That may be true.

Pa didn’t give off a big bad Alpha energy when he was around but I did.

“Yeah, probably” I said with a chuckle.

Cassandra took longer than I thought possible.

No wonder they had to come hours before the party.

It was finally my turn and I sat down on the stool in front of the make up artist while everyone watched.

The make up artist started to do my makeup as I sat still on the stool.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of makeup.

I don’t even wear makeup in a day to day basis.

I just felt like I didn’t need to.

I mean, why would I?

In the middle of my makeup session, the boys left to get ready while Cassandra stayed with me.

“You already look gorgeous, Livi” Cassandra complimented.

I smiled slightly.

Finally, my hair and makeup was done and the makeup artist turned the stool to face the mirror.

I was in awe.

I could barely recognize myself.

I guess, this is the power of makeup.

“You look beautiful, miss” the makeup artist complimented and I gave her a small smile.

“She really does, does she?” Cassandra said with a wide smile.

She looked so proud.

“Now, let’s slip into our outfits, shall we?” Cassandra said and nodded.

We went to Luan and I’s bedroom where I slept earlier while the other boys are in the other bedroom getting ready.

Cassandra and I took out our gowns from a big box and got dressed.

We helped each other with the back zippers.

My gown was black and it had sheer long sleeves and a plunging neck line.

The gown was puffy and it sparkled beautifully.

My hair was curled into waves and styled in a half up half down braid with some diamond hair accessories to finish the look.

“Oh my goddess. You look absolutely breathtaking, Livi” Cassandra said in awe.

I smiled shyly.

“And you look stunning, Cassandra” I returned the compliment.

Cassandra giggled.

“Come on, let’s go. I’m sure the guys are already out. They’ll definitely swoon over you” she said and began to pull me out of the room.

We got out of the bedroom.

“Guys, look” Cassandra immediately said and everyone turned to look at us.

As soon as their eyes landed on me, their jaw dropped.

Luan looked like he was in a daze tho.

He was already wearing his white suit and his hair was styled neatly.

“Wow. So this is another side to Liviana Crest” Beau said.

I chuckled.

“Luan, you’re one lucky dude” Abe said.

Luan made his way to me and wrapped his arms on my waist with a low growl.

“Mine” he said and I chuckled.

“Calm down” I whispered to him. He took deep breaths as he took in my scent.

I guess he was being his possessive self again.

It’s going to be even worse since we’re marked and mated to each other now.

After that I called my uncle quickly and then we made our way to the palace in a limousine sent from the palace.

Luan held me by the waist the entire time.

“You look to beautiful for your own good” Luan mind linked me.

I chuckled.

“Do I pass the Princess visual test?” I asked.

“You surpassed it, my love. You’re the standard now” he replied.

I blushed and nudged him slightly.

After a while, we arrived at the palace.

The Haymes siblings went out first and then Luan and I came out.

Luan held on to my waist the whole time as we made our way inside.

The knights and helpers bowed their heads low as we entered.

“Your majesty” a man in a tux by the door said and bowed to Luan.

Luan simply gave

I took a deep breath and the doors were opened.

The different scents of high ranking wolves hit my nose.

“It’s time” Luan whispered to me.

I nodded and kept my head held high.

Luan then leaned in and gave me a k**s on my temple as he we stepped inside and saw everyone below us in the ballroom.

So it begins.
