Runaway Alpha

Years Later

Lhana’s POV

” Max, I will not ask for your forgiveness… but… ” chuckling, my husband was so calm in his words. Talking with brother, its been so long since that day happened.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The time when I followed Emric to leave the Erhendem… the time when… my wish finally do come true.

A small smile can be seen on my face, I won’t disagree if someone call me crazy for smiling on my own. But it is just… being here with him… I never thought it would bring me this much happiness.

Forcing a smile as reply, my brother tried to hide his glare to Emric. But I am certain he would surely hit him if I am not around. although in terms of strength… I am sorry to say but my husband is the strongest in here.

” How long do you intend to call me max? are we that close for you to do so? ”

” Are we not? You are soon to be my brother in law… right? ”

” You…. Who told you I want to be? ”

” But Lhana choose me, you have no words for that ”

” Then if she choose to not? ”

” That won’t happen, I won’t let her go ”

Staring at each other, they seem to be talking with the intent to fight. These guys…

How long will they have this cold shoulder to each other??

” You know, we should head inside. And brother, thank you for the meat you brought ”

” Sure… anything for you Lianna ”

Slightly shaking his head, just like most of the times, Emric remain calm. Something I admire in him. Now that I think about it, I can’t even remember when did I first start liking him. He also never mention anything about liking me… I mean… when did he start to like me?

Isn’t it strange that the moment we went back, our journey together as we roam in the Gorthus… we just got close. Like… Emric started to be much nicer to me and didn’t run away… like what he always did…

” Lhana? Are you alright? ”

Suddenly back in my senses, I just tap his back as I nod my head. There are much time for me to think about that. For now, I shall prepare some food. Brother surely is hungry after his hunt.

” Nothing, let’s head inside? I will surely prepare a good meal ”

” Yes, you always do ”

And there I can finally feel the gaze coming from my brother. He should really get some girlfriend. He is no longer a kid but I was engaged first .

This guy…

” Brother, let’s head inside? And, how was mom and dad doing? Are they enjoying their travel? ”

Changing the subject is the only thing I can do to keep them calm. It would be good if they would be in good terms.

” They seems to be doing fine. After the wolvendom was opened, It was strange that no one whose permission are not allowed can’t enter our land. But it was something that even the elders find it hard to understand. Even up till now, I still find it weird how you two… well, never mind ”

Slightly tilting my head, my brother will surely say some weird things. But whenever it would be praising Emric in any way, he would just brush of the topic just like he did.

My brother surely is cute. I just hope that he find someone to love him… to give him happiness that he need.

Maybe by that he would stop bothering me and emric, isn’t that nice?

” Ouch ”

I felt a small prick on my forehead as he just shook his head

” What was that for? ”

I ask but all he just did was let out a wide smile with him shaking his head.

” Nothing, let’s head inside ”

” You should really get a lover, brother ”

And again, I feel his fingers tapping he forehead. Emric just giggled. For he knew that it was one of my brother’s way of showing me his love. Yeah, his love does hurt sometimes. But, I am happy to have him as my brother. He is more than what I can ask for.

But suddenly, as we three step inside the house, both brother and emric halt for a bit. As if they felt something strange. But… I feel nothing at all.

” What is wrong? Is there a problem? ”

” Aillard, bring Lhana somewhere safe. Tell everyone to not get close in this place ”

Surprised, I can do nothing at all. No matter how much I tried to sense it, I can’t feel it. Just… what did they discover for them to act like this?

” Brother? What’s wrong? Is there something that I need to know? ”

With his eye turning sharp, I can feel Emric’s power. But before I can do anything, my brother hit the side of my neck. And soon as I almost see the dark place that welcomes me, I hear how my brother mumbled words of apology,

” Lhana… sorry, you are stubborn. This is the only thing I can do ”

No… no, don’t do this. What are they planning… you-

” Aillard, I leave her to you ”

And right before my eyes, I can feel how my body collapse.

…

Opening my eyes, I saw a strange person in front of me. It is so weird since… she looks so similar to… me.

” Who are you? ”

I asked. But instead of words, I felt her hand touching my face. And before I know it, I feel her forehead sticking to mine.

” Be strong. Believe in him. Don’t do the same mistake that I did… ”

And as she mumbled those words, I can’t help but feel strange. I feel like… I… I can feel her emotions…

” What are you talking about? I… I don’t understand… and… what is this? I… ”

And before I even knew it, her very image vanish right before my eyes.

Who is she? Why did she say those words? At this moment… I don’t really know. I still can’t understand what is happening… i… I just want Emric to be safe. But… if he won’t tell it to me just like before… how can I help him?

‘Be strong… believe in him. Don’t do the same mistake that I did’

I then remember her words. I am still uncertain why she told me that but she is right… all I need to do so be strong and… believe in him.

Emric needs my support. Even if I am not helping physically, I will make sure that he knew that I am here for him. That he is not alone…

That I support him… and even if the world turn his back, I will remain to believe in him. Because I will forever will be.

“Lianna! You are finally awake!”

I heard my brother call me. He had a relief on his face as he look at me.

“Brother… Where is Emric?”

But soon as I say that name, my brother turn his back.

“I will go tell mpm you wake up. Mother and father are so worried about you”

I know it, he was changing the topic. He is literally avoiding my question.

“Brother? Where is he? I am asking you, where is emric??”

“Lianna, please take care of yourself first. You are out for days and… you need to get back your strength”

He know too well that it wasn’t the answer I want to receive. But somehow… I had an idea… that no matter what he says, it surely is something I wouldn’t like to hear.

Emric… just… what happened to you?
