51. A Favour Owed
Allie POV
By the time we slowed to cross a stream, the sun was up to signal the start of a new day. We stopped by the water for a bathroom and drink break, and managed to find a few strawberries. They were a welcome treat, since we had eaten nothing since breakfast in the gnome village.
Had it really only been a day? It was hard to believe, given everything that had happened in between.
Josh helped me back onto the horse and climbed up after me. This time he wanted me in front of him, and the view was amazing as we sped along.
He had one powerful arm wrapped tightly around my waist and I held onto it, keeping it pulled against me as I relaxed and leant my back into his chest. I was getting sleepy, and I really wan

Allie POV “Wake up, Princess,” a deep voice whispered in my ear, sending a delicious shiver down my spine. My nose scrunched as I woke to the tickle of Josh’s beard on the side of my face as he kissed me. I didn’t seem to mind being called Princess when he said it like this. The horse huffed and it felt like we’d stopped moving. I opened my eyes slowly; they were unwilling to cooperate. I’m not sure how long I’d been sleeping for, but it was pure bliss, despite the sore rear end I now had. “Are you ready for me to let go?” Josh asked. I nodded, and he untangled his arms from my waist and hopped down from the horse, letting out a grunt with the effort. I felt the loss of his touch and his warmth immediately, and wanted to throw myself off the horse just to land back i
Escaping with the Alpha 53. A Selfish Parting
Allie POV I looked back up, ready to thank Skye, but she had already gone. It was as though she’d disappeared into thin air. The horse suddenly spooked and took off. Josh swore under his breath and raced after it, but quickly realised it was pointless. I unfurled my hand to reveal a smooth golden circle. It looked like a compass, but was the size of a watch face. It had no markings, directions or coordinates, just a single black arrow. When I turned in a circle, the arrow never lost its place, always pointing me in the same direction. Josh looked over my shoulder, studying the navigator. “I know what you just heard is a lot to take in, but it’s time to go home, Allie,” he said gently. “What about Mulberry?” I replied, my
Escaping with the Alpha 54. Carton of Abs
Allie POV I’d thought I still had a vague idea of where north-east was, but as I continued to walk on, my confidence was fading. Fear and regret churned in my gut. What had I done? I’d sent Josh home to protect him. I wanted to shield him from this crazy mission of mine, but there had been a big part of me that was hoping he wouldn’t leave. But he did. I couldn’t fault him for that, though. I’d stung him with my words and pushed him away. His family deserved to have him home, and he deserved to be with them. He’d done his job guarding me for this long. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! The realisation of what he was going home to suddenly hit me. Josh would be returnin
Escaping with the Alpha 55. Mouth to Mouth
Josh POV Walking away from Allie was the hardest thing I’d ever done. ‘And the stupidest,’ mumbled Aster. He had been pacing in my mind ever since, on edge and antsy. He wasn’t happy with me at all. ‘She fucking dismissed me. Like I didn’t even matter to her. What was I supposed to do? Everyone back home thinks I’m dead. What will Mum and Dad be going through? I can’t be wandering through this fucking forest anymore, not when I have a way out right in the palm of my hand.’ ‘Go after her,’ he growled, causing a low rumble in my chest. ‘She doesn’t want me to! She made it perfectly clear. Enough!’ I blocked him from my mind and trudged on, following the direction on the
Escaping with the Alpha 56. An Act of Love
Josh POV I let Aster take control and shifted. He immediately went to Allie, nudging his snout into her hand. “Hi Aster,” she whispered, rubbing behind his ear. He was a complete puppy right now. He licked her face, making her giggle, then crouched down beside her. She was weak, and I was really worried. She slowly crawled onto his back, hugging his neck, and he rose gently. ‘Take it easy, Aster,’ I warned when he began to pick up the pace. ‘I know what I’m doing,’ he replied. ‘Really? How many naked women have you carried on your back before?’ He ignored me, and I chuckled to myself. It was getting dark, and the only thing I co
Escaping with the Alpha 57. Mine
Allie POV Each breath was laboured, as though I had a weight sitting on my chest. There was a strange burning sensation in my lungs, and my throat ached painfully. I tried to move, to lift my arms, but my whole body felt weak, tired. I forced my heavy eyelids open as a surge of fear washed over me. Where was I? I looked down and saw unfamiliar clothes–some sort of nightgown. Someone had dressed me. Seen me naked. The room was empty though, I was alone for the moment. The room I was in looked nice, but so had the Obsidian King’s bedroom. I let out a whimper of fear, but with my throat feeling the way it did, it sounded strangled and pained. A familiar freckled face appeared from a doorway, and at the same time, what looked like the main door was almost ripped off its hinges as a large figure appeared. “You break it, you fix it!” Mulberry scolded Josh. He ignored her, his eyes firmly fixed on mine. She turned to me and smirked. “He’s been sleeping on the bench outside your room.
Escaping with the Alpha 58. Quiet Connection
Josh POV Allie drifted off to sleep in my arms. It felt so right. Everything about her fit me. She moulded into my body, tucked safely under my arm, close enough to kiss her forehead as she slept. I couldn’t imagine anything feeling more natural. There was just no way that there could be someone out there who would feel better than this. The guilt moved in swiftly as the word ‘mate’ circled in my mind. If my mate could see me now, how would she feel? How would she feel if I told her about my feelings for Allie? It was like I was being torn in half. One part of me was enjoying this so much, and was determined that I was going to hold on to Allie and never let go. The other part was thinking about all the ways I was already disappointing my future mate. Her scent was everywhere when I woke up. There was long blonde hair in my face, her palm resting on my chest. Her face was higher, her nose snuggled right into the side of my neck. I lay watching her, the rise and fall of her ch
Escaping with the Alpha 59. Bliss
Allie POV He said he loved me. Did he mean to say that? Did it just slip out? No, he said it twice. And the way he was looking at me… had he been feeling what I’d been feeling towards him this whole time? I knew there was mutual attraction there, that was undeniable, but the shock and surprise that was registering with me as he said the word ‘love’ was a completely unique feeling. He was right. Once I had my wolf, the fairytale that I’d been clinging to in my mind would be over once and for all. I was an Alpha’s daughter, the future Alpha of the pack, and he was a guard warrior. Even without my wolf, I knew there was no way the Moon Goddess would pair us together. It was now or never. One chance to live out the fantasy I’d been dreaming of–vividly–all this time. Standing on my tiptoes, I pressed my lips to his, my arms wrapping around the back of his neck, pulling him closer to me. His mouth moved in time with mine and my whole body relaxed into his as he held me. His tongue trac
