The Southern Queen,

Chapter 6

OLIVER'S POV

"Where are you going?"

She asked me. Yeah, after two years of searching for my mate, I finally found her and the only thing I get to get, is a stolen kiss which I paid with a slapped in my face. Now, I can't sleep near her. Great! just great!

"Ow, right. I forgot. I'm leaving."

I left the room without second glance. I want to get angry to her, but I can't. Without her wolf she can't feel the bond between us. She won't know I am her mate, and it is not her fault. When I go out, I saw the 2 other warriors Jason brought with us and Jason himself.

"Your highness."

Jason said along with the bow. The two other warriors bow along him. I just nodded.

"Is there something wrong?"

He asked. Like what I said a while ago Jason is my beta. Aside from being my beta he is also my best friend. He knows when something is bothering me. I let out a deep breath. My wolf is restless. He wants to be with his mate but seeing as Cleo is human, it makes him more worried.

"Cleo doesn't remember anything and Medea said she lost her wolf."

He looks like he's going to ask me a lot of question but I myself don't know the answer.

"Don't ask me any question Jason, cause I don't know either. The only thing I know is we need to go to a quest. Now, stay with Cleo, don't leave her side no matter what. I can handle myself."

I said then I walked away. I wanted to run but releasing my wolf in here is not a very good idea. He might lose control and go back to Cleo's room before I can even stop him. And if he gets to that room we can't say what will happen. He might mark her against her will and now is not a good time for that. Cleo only has a few memories that's makes her practically a child. I look at the moon that shines brightly at the night then I whisper a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess to guide both Cleo and me along this quest.

CLEO'S POV

Not long before I lay my body on the bed,  sleep claims me to have a rest.

I woke up, In my bed, in my old room. I looked at the mirror and I saw my old self. Me when I was 6 years old.

"What is my princess doing in this late of an hour?"

My father said while leaning on the door frame.

"I can't sleep dad."

I heard myself said even thought I am not opening my mouth.

"Then, do you want the big bad Alpha king to send you to sleep then?"

He asked. Shiver travel along my body when I heard my father say his name. Yeah, when I was a kid my father used to scare me with the stories of how the Alpha King got his position now. How strong he is and how he killed so many people to be the king. My father told me how cruel and how dangerous he is. so I grow to fear him. I was happy then because I don't need to meet the cruel Alpha unlike my older brother. As the next Alpha my brother should familiarize himself with how the things and the pack runs and that also include joining the pack meetings with the Alpha King.

"I guess I prefer to sleep by myself tonight."

I said to him. He smiled to my reaction.

I woke up, Head pounding. Yeah I was afraid of the big bad Alpha king and I guess I was still afraid to him then I realize that I just slapped the big bad Alpha king earlier and the Alpha King just kissed me. Aside from those I'd been treating the Alpha king like as if he was on my level. 

Crap. What did I do to meet such a cruel person let alone be kissed by him? My confusion is getting worse whenever I regain my memory back. now, I don't know if I could face Oliver or should I say the ALPHA KING tomorrow. I slump my body back on the bed and I have decided that I will face my problems tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. When the Alpha king himself is in front of me again.

OTHER PEOPLE'S POV

"What do you mean she's gone?"

The stranger asked with a frown etch in its face. Both Elizabeth and Anthony cowered  when the stranger look at them with anger in its eyes.

"S-She just left. When we woke up earlier this morning she's gone but her things is still in here."

Anthony answered the stranger. Elizabeth is hiding behind him.

"Didn't I tell the both of you to take care of her and don't let her leave?"

The stranger asked while trying his very hard to control his anger.

"We are sorry, She seems so contented in here. She still doesn't remember anything so, we thought it would be better to just let her do what she wants."

 Anthony answered. The stranger left the house without even bothering to open the door properly. He just snaps the door causing it to be removed from its frame and then he just throws it away.

"I am definitely going to find you Cleo. You can never run away from me."

He said. On the other hand,

 Anthony left the house to recover their door and to fix it again while Elizabeth clean the mess it created. The stranger walk deeper to the woods and later it was gone. Elizabeth and Anthony already planned to take Cleo away from the stranger but when they woke up in that morning Cleo was gone and both Elizabeth and Anthony is happy that she left because they know she's not safe with the man. That man just barge in their house one day demanding that they go and take care of Cleo. He threaten them that he'll kill their children if they didn't follow his orders.

The couple didn't know if the man is really capable of doing such thing but they knew better than to risk their children's life. Beside's they thought that Cleo looks like she really needed someone to take care of her since she doesn't remember anything about her past. The couple planned to live their house and bring Cleo with them because they could sense that the lady is in danger.
