CHAPTER 38: Hurt Me As You Can

  I went back to my room after the thing that happened between my father and me last night, planting my face on the pillow as I reached my room.

  Tears can’t stop falling from my eyes down to my cheeks at that moment, I felt heartbroken and the stuffy chest that I had would be so much easily disappeared if my mother was still there with me because the two of us usually comfort each other if something not good happens to us.

  But now I am alone, and nobody could replace her place, I have lost so many people in my life including one of the best people that I had ever met, Lara.

  The fresh air came through the window, birds singing, signaling that the sun had already hit the ground but I did not feel inspired to start a new day at that time so I choose to stay on my bed instead of rolling over and getting away from it.

  When the bush ate me, my eyes slowly close and I was about to lose consciousness again, the heartbroken turned me into a vampire who hid under the blanket when the day started.

  And I felt something on my hair, a massive palm, it caressed my hair one second after I was about to lose consciousness, then I realized the person who was in the room with me was my father.

  I quickly open my eyes the moment after I felt the massive palm caressing my hair. I was terrified because I thought that could be someone else, not my father.

  “It’s me!” He smiled the moment he realized I wasn’t sleeping anymore. I then get off my back from the bed and sit on the bed, felt awkward after our small argument last night.

  “I notice you’re upset and that made you forget to lock your room, so I ordered the guards to keep you on guard last night, how’s your feeling?” My father inquired as if he did nothing to me last night, there is no guilt on his face as I learned.

  My heart does not even cure yet after he threw me the word that I dislike, but my father acted as if it was nothing and it made me so disappointed.

  “I’m good” I responded curtly, my face crumpled by then.

  He heavily sighed, still placing his ego over everything instead of apologizing to his daughter for hurting her feeling. My father will never change and I believe what I saw. But then I feel my world upside down when something that I never expected happened.

  “I’m sorry for being such an asshole last night…” An apology finally left my father’s lips; his head lowered, signaling that he regretted his actions.

  I softly chuckled the moment after I heard he was saying a bad word, it was also my first time hearing that kind of word come out of his mouth.

  “I wasn’t expecting that word!” I said, still chuckling at that time but also feeling bad because I prejudice against my father.

  Alpha Adrian who usually has a cold-blooded attitude now turned into a soft sweet man, but still, I can’t put all my trust in him.

  “So what are you expected? Motherfuckers word” My father joked and I could not help but laugh when I heard him say that word; it felt so awkward because none of the royals were allowed to break the rule.

  “Grandmother will not like it, she will kill us if she knows about it” I chuckled.

  “Then we don’t have to tell her!” My father immediately responded, and the two of us kept chucking at that time.

  And then somebody opened the door, startling both my father and me, turned out it was the queen who was on her way to get into my room, she was there with her two trusted guards.

  Her brow raise the moment she realized that my father still stay in my room, the queen had waited for him to get me but it is been minutes since he got here.

  “Tell me about what?” My grandmother heard what my father and I had been talked a little and she asked us about that.

  He immediately got off my bed and stood up straight like Adrian whom my grandmother had known the moment after the queen arrived. My father smoothed out his suit, acting as if anything just happened is never happening.

  I then rolled over from my bed and stand next to it, the tension can’t stop enveloping me at that time.

  “Nothing, mother… I’ve just told her to get ready so we can start our plan” My father tensely smiled, he then ran his gaze at me after looking at my grandmother. “Right, Elora?” He gritted his teeth as he stared at me, signaling me to nod.

  “Yes, I was just about to get ready” I responded in tension, my breath started to get heavy as I waited for my grandmother to say a word.

  The queen then nodded and without saying a word, she left my room with her bodyguards, leaving my father and me behind.

  “Get ready quickly!” My father demanded and he then pulled out of my room, I nodded as I watched him leave.

  Taking a deep breath, I ran toward the door and shut it immediately, a feeling of relief get into my chest after that, and without wasting any more time, I stepped into the restroom and undone my clothes.

  I am not ready to see his face again. Alpha Drax might already be there outside of the gate, waiting for the queen to order the guards to open the gate for them. After the thing that he had done to me, I still keep my madness toward him.

  After five minutes of showering, I stepped out of the restroom and walked toward the wardrobe, I then wondered what outfit I should wear when I see him today.

  This is the queen’s palace and I did not have many clothes like what I had in my house, only old clothes that I left years ago as far as the eye can see. I sighed knowing that I have no choice but to wear the old outfit.

  I picked a white shirt and skinny jeans because that was the most casual outfit that I can find inside the wardrobe, there is no way I wear a dress today when I have to participate in the relocating job.

  The white shirt and skinny jeans are now wrapped around my body, thanks to the Moon Goddess the outfit still fits me and I can’t lie to myself, I do look great in this outfit although this shirt is a bit outdated and too casual for a royal like me.

  When I was focused on looking at my reflection in the mirror, a guard knocked on my door and told me that I need to rush because both my father and the queen had waited downstairs.

  “One second!” I said in a high voice, and quickly tied my hair in a ponytail; I then stepped out of the room after grabbing my bag.

  Two guards followed me behind the moment I stepped out of the room, the three of us making our way downstairs to see the queen and Alpha Adrian. When I arrived at my destination, my grandmother who wore a formal outfit stared at me, she was judging me.

  “What are you wearing, my dear?” She inquired, by that time she raised her glasses to see me in that outfit. “I thought the servant had delivered your outfit!” She stated.

  “Mother, that’s fine! We have no time, all people had waited outside of the gate, we need to rush” My father said, thankfully, the queen is no longer concerned about the outfit that I wore anymore.

  The three of us then make our way out of the palace with guards surrounding us and went straight to the palace's large driveway. I get into the car after the guard helps me to open the door.

  “Thank you, Damien” I give the guard who opened the car door for me a smile, was glad because I felt kind of lucky to be born this way even though this family is not the family that I expected.

  Our car then pulled away from the driveway, there are seven cars following us behind, all filled with guards inside them. Our car was in the second row and the first row is filled with the guard’s car that will become our shield if something bad happens.

  The city ran normally at that moment and people just doing their business. The queen had informed all Eden Spring citizens that there will be guests coming here in some time and it made them wonder where we will put the guest when we got no more place for them.

  I asked the queen about that and she said we had an empty housing area in Ascot River, that place is not that far from the chapel and it concerned me when I realized how hard I tried to stay away from Alpha Drax, the Moon Goddess always find a way to brought us back together, my curse is not only wolfless, I got something bigger than that now.
