chapter 8

Grace’s pov

“her name is Grace and she saved me, now stop looking at her with suspicion” Harper answered, and I saw the guy who seemed like a good friend to him bow down his head.

“apologies, thank you Grace” he said to me, and I just smiled and nodded my head, I guess Harper doesn’t want them to know who I really am.

If they do they might be even more suspicious of me, maybe he will tell them when the time is right.

as we got closer to the pack I saw people coming towards, they were all cheering and opening the way. they bowed their heads as they cheered his name, it was a welcoming fit for an Alpha Prince.

Just like always none of them acknowledged me, I have always been like that at times, invisible and I don’t mind.

But seeing him, one person receive so much love from a lot of people when I couldn’t even get love from my own mother or mate.

It made me think about how unfair like is sometimes, I mean there are people who have it all and others have nothing.

“ohhh my darling son, what have they done to you?” a woman came running to him and hugged him.

Well, it looks like he survived all that torture from Hendricks just so he could be crushed to death by his own mother.

“ow” Harper said, and she then looked at him worried, “did I hurt you, ohhh the moon goddess look at you. That monster hurt my little baby” she said.

I smiled at this, she was talking to a grown man like he was still a child, “son” a large man came and hugged him, but he was a little gentle which I found weird.

The small woman’s hug was like a bear hug and the large man’s hug seemed like he was being hugged by a small child.

“brother” a young woman came and looked at him, she burst into tears and a boy that resembled her hugged her.

“she has been crying ever since you went missing and now she is because you are back” the boy said and then looked at Harper.

“welcome back home brother” he said, and I saw Harper smile, “okay lets take him inside, he needs a shower and a good meal” the friend Justin said.

“let me” the small woman said as she came to my side and helped support Harper, when she spoke to me everyone’s attention turned to me.

they only just noticed me now, “and you are?” the large man asked me, “ohhh this is Grace, she helped save Harper” the Justin guy said.

The large man looked at me and smiled, “thank you for saving my son, I am Alpha King Simon Knight, but you can call me Simon” he said, and I smiled.

“no, your majesty, I couldn’t dare call you by your name” I said, and he looked at me with a friendly smile.

“you saved my son, I would lay my life for you for that reason, so please just call me Simon” he said, and I shook my head.

“I saved your son for my own selfish reasons; you see saving him was also saving myself, so you don’t owe me anything your majesty. You don’t need to lay down your life for me” I said, and he smiled.

“please lets go inside, we will get acquainted there” the small woman said as she led Harper inside.

The moment we got inside they made him sit on the couch, “bring food, cook everything that’s here if possible” the woman started yelling orders.

“mother, all I need right now is a shower and then I will eat” Harper said and then looked at me with a smile.

The woman also looked at me, “my name is May Knight, I am Harper’s mother and also the Queen Luna” she said with a graceful smile.

“its nice to meet you your majesty” I said to her and slightly bowed my head, “she has manners, I like her” she said like I wasn’t in the room.

“Justin take him upstairs and also take Grace to one of our guest rooms, I bet she wants to take a shower too” the Queen Luna said, and I nodded with a smile.

“I will take her, by the way I am Elena Knight, I am Harper’s sister” she said and then took my hand and lead me upstairs. When I got to the guest room I looked around, it was luxurious, but I have seen better before.

“I bet you don’t have clothes; I will give you a few things from my closet. I also have a set of knew panties that I haven’t worn, I will be back” she said closing the door.

Once I was alone I could finally think about what I just did, I just made an enemy for myself. Hendricks was never going to stop looking for me if I had ran alone, he would have hunted me all over the world.

Now that I may have ruined his plans, that I took Harper with me he is going to hunt me through the entire galaxy if possible. He wont stop looking for me that I know for sure, I may have escaped him for now but knowing him if I am not smart he is going to find me.

I know that man very well, he is relentless if he chooses, Harper and his brother were his number one enemies but after what I just did I think I made it to the top of the list.

One thing is for sure, I need to keep moving, I need money and lots of it, I need a car and also a new identity.

But it wont matter how far I run, as long as I have this mark on my neck he will always have a hold over me.

running as far away as I can is a priority but getting rid of this mark should be top priority, but how and where do I go to get rid of it???
