Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 109: Game Master
Ella’s POVI knew that Willow was going to get revenge for what had happened, and I was prepared for it. I made up my mind to stand up for myself and not let anyone trample on me. She didn’t know what she was dealing with. She might have thought that I was still the same Ella, the one she had maltreated so much, but she was wrong.That Ella was dead, and this Ella was a master at this game now.After the attack, I made sure to always lock my door securely every night before going to bed.Willow didn’t return after that night, and during the day, she spent it avoiding me, but I could care less about that. I was going to expose her whether she hid in her room forever or not.That morning, I took a quick shower and slipped on some workout clothes. I went for a run around the mansion, then I decided to pay Ryker a visit to his office.As I got to the door, I met Patrick, who was just stepping out as well. “Good morning, Patrick. How is Anna?” I asked.We had decided that I would stay with

Michael’s POVTrying to drop off Andrew from our trail was close to impossible. I even tried taking a different turn or maybe cancelling the whole thing, but it didn’t work. “Maybe we should tell him that there is no baby shower. It was a lie, and we made it all up…” Selena said in the car with her eyes fixed on Andrew’s car trailing behind us.I stole a glance at her, wondering how she could be so dumb yet beautiful. “So, what? I just park, and we tell him it was all a lie, and you think he will believe us?” I hissed, tightening my hold on the steering wheel. Telling Andrew that the baby shower was a lie was going to make it worse.I became certain that he was the shadow in the dark last night. He heard my conversation with David, and now all our efforts were going to be ruined if we didn’t act smarter than him. He wasn’t going to stop even if we told him that it was a prank or anything. He planned to get to Dark Fur, and nothing we said or did could stop him at this point.The las

Ella’s POVMy heart was bleeding as I stared into their faces, and the myriads of emotions that swam within them tore me further. Selena had a long look that made clear that she was only waiting for an opportunity to switch positions.Michael, on the other hand, dared to carry sagged eyes with wobbly lips as if he was broken. I knew they were all liars even before the incident with David. I found out that Michael was only trying to help me because he wanted money and the power that came with it.But Andrew. I never thought in a million years that he would betray me like this. He was always so kind when everyone had agendas. I never knew that he was the mastermind.My eyes moved over their faces once more to people who didn’t know what was happening, they looked innocent. They looked like the perfect family that couldn’t wait to have their child back. But it was all fake, yet they did it so perfectly, especially Andrew…Ryker had told me to ignore them and let him handle them, but I co

Ryker’s POVI broke into a deep chuckle as my foolishness came into my face to mock me. Willow was one of them.Ella had warned me, but I refused to listen to her. I didn’t want to believe that the one I wanted to keep loving was the enemy I was searching for. I didn’t want to believe that I had been protecting the wrong person.I thought Ella was just being childish when she made those accusations. I thought she was maybe trying to get back at Willow for the way Willow treated her the first time, but as Willow stood in front of making those silly comments, it became clear.The dark veil in my eyes fell off, and I saw her for who she truly was.She wasn’t the angel I had painted her to be. She wasn’t the perfect Luna, my heart needed. She was a fraud and a liar. She was cruel and cold-hearted.“You are their accomplice in all this,” I whispered in a tone that might have sounded like a question, but it was nowhere near a question. She was the knight who went around making the moves to
Last Updated : 2023-11-14Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 113: Spinning the Wheel
Michael’s POVMy brain was working at an impossible speed. I was trying hard to think of a quick way out of this.We couldn’t kill Ella. It meant she was going to return to lay claim on her inheritance, and then there was Andrew —it was a good thing that Ella thought he worked with us. But this couldn’t last for long.It was only a matter of time before she realized that her father was never her enemy. And when this happened, I was going to go down the drain with David and Selena. I couldn’t let this happen.As I drove across the roads back to Crystal Pack, I ignored the two women in the car with me. Their conversation was baseless. They were worried about Ella’s new attitude when they should have been thinking of ways to vindicate themselves.For Willow, it was a lot easier for her to just beg for forgiveness and get it. All she had to do was pretend to be remorseful, and Ryker might even take her back, for I could see it in his eyes that he still cared about her wellbeing at least.

Michael’s POVThe look of shock and defeat in Andrew’s eyes fueled my insides as I sat on the throne and spread my arms comfortably like the king I was born to be.For a second, I couldn’t believe it. It was like living a dream that you had fantasized about for so long. Ever since the Crystal Pack rejected my father and left my mother to live with crumbs as if she was way beneath any of them, I made a promise that the throne was going to be mine.I fought hard. I planned harder and today; it was finally happening. I couldn’t wait to see the look on my mother’s face when she saw me on the throne of her father's.My fingers sizzled with excitement as I moved my eyes slowly around the room, watching the guards as they diligently dragged their supposed Alpha. The silly man who had sent my mother into exile.He was lucky I wasn’t given him the same punishment.“Michael!” David’s gruff voice cut through my moment of victory, and I turned my eyes lazily to him. His eyes flashed as he realiz
Last Updated : 2023-11-15Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 115: The New King
Michael’s POVI got up from the throne and walked to where my mother was with a grin on my face. I could feel their pale stares and shocked assembles staring down at me in disbelief, and it fueled my victorious walk.“How?” David whispered, the shock dripping out of him in buckets.I got to my mother and passed a hand across her shoulders. “Emily, here is my mother. Why is that so hard to believe?”“But Aunt Emily…” Selena started and then stopped to turn to her father. “You said you made sure that she wouldn’t have any children of her own… How is this possible?”David’s eyes expanded, and he started shaking his head. “No, this can’t be possible.” He got to his feet and walked to the council members who were present. “This is a trick to steal the throne from the ruling family. And you know what happens when a bastard sits on the crystal pack throne! Stop this madness you are about to do at once!”“David, you don’t have to fear. Michael is my son,” my mother said from beside me, and

Ella’s POVWeeks passed since the Crystal Pack royal family returned to their pack in shame. I knew they were not done. I knew that deep down they were planning an attack or a sort of revenge but so far, we haven’t heard any news from them since.It was almost like they had sealed the palace from other people. No news left the four walls of the palace and as time went by, I stopped worrying about them.I started preparing and the first thing I had to do was to go see Ryker.I changed from my silk wear into a pair of jeans and a shirt, then letting my hair fall freely down my shoulders, I walked out of my room and went to his study. I knocked on the door, acknowledging the guards at the door, before inviting myself inside.“Hey,” I said as I got in. Ryker was on his desk going through the files. I hadn’t seen him in days. I knew that he was worried about Willow and didn’t entirely know what to do with me. But as our eyes met, I could see through the wall of seriousness he had built.

Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 165: Never Run Again
Ella’s POVThe long wait was finally over. Esther was out of danger.“Words cannot express how grateful I am that you fought so hard for me,” she whispered with my hands held tightly in hers.Her sister, Freya, was sitting by her side while Anna and Selena stood behind us. We were all excited about the outcome of her treatment and more than anything, it assured me that my father’s treatment was also going to be successful. After all, it all followed the same pattern, all that was left was for me to convince Selena so that I could hand everything to her. Then they could use my blood.“I couldn’t have been alive today,” she added, pulling me out of my thoughts.“You are welcome, Esther. You know I love you and I will do anything to keep you safe,” I whispered, placing a kiss on her forehead. Then I started walking away, I aimed to reach Selena and pull her away for a quick conversation on the matter. The earlier she accepted to take the crown, the better it was going to be.But Esther’
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 164: Echoes of Joy
Ella’s POVDavid didn’t make it.His death wasn’t something that directly affected me but the pain in Selena’s eyes made me sad. She had truly been reformed. She saw the world in a different light, and her biggest wish, had been for her father to see this light too but now it was too late for him.After the burial ceremony was completed, I sat by her side, hoping to comfort her as much as possible. Aside from my father, who was still on the sick bed, she was the only family I had left. I couldn’t leave her.We stayed this way, letting Ryker and Anna take care of the rest of the affairs.I didn’t even want to begin thinking about Esther. Aunt Emily had refused to give out the antidote till her death, but Esther was still fighting. I told Myles to find any of her family members, maybe if we could drain her blood too, she might stand a chance.And as for my father, I was planning something, but it wasn’t the right time to speak of it yet.“You should go save him,” Selena mumbled, and my
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 163: Guilty Run
Ryker’s POV“I will come back for you! You think this is the end, you are wrong!” Emily yelled as they dragged her out of the throne room to the chamber where she would be killed.Her voice continued to resonate, even while they exited the room, but my attention had returned to Ella. I was so proud of her and how much she had grown.When she called for this meeting, I thought she was going to let her emotions mess with her again, but she didn’t. She acted like a true leader and made the right choices.My eyes remained on her as she held on to a crying Selena while Michael was escorted out of the palace. The plan was to go after the men who must have been done prepping Emily for her final sentencing. Dealing with a criminal like her, one could never be so sure that she could find a way to survive.But as we all made our way to the door, David started coughing painfully loud. Selena broke away from Ella’s hold and ran to his side in panic.“Someone, get the healers and doctors,” Ella al
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 162: This is the End
Ella’s POVAs the words left my mouth, I turned around and began heading out. I finally understood everything and there was no time to waste anymore.“Stupid girl! I will still get you!” Aunt Emily screamed in her cell, but I didn’t bother sparing her even a single glance as I walked out.It was clear that she had been the mastermind all along and for the first time, I saw what Ryker was trying to say. They weren’t all killers. Some of them were accomplices at some point, but mostly they were all being manipulated all along. Now I understood why she had truly tolerated Selena’s bad attitude those times, it was because she wanted everyone to hate Selena, so that when the time came for her to be exposed, no one would stand by her, and Aunt Emily would ultimately get the throne. But I came and she had to come up with another plan.But all of that was over now. I was going to put everyone in their respective places.My hands fisted as I continued to march in the direction of the throne r
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 161: Truth in All the Lies
Michael’s POV“Mother, why did you try such a silly move? and much more in front of everyone! What were you thinking?” I growled in my cell.We were all bundled into the dungeon like common criminals. My cell was joined to the right side with my mother’s while Selena and David were in a single cell at my left. But I wasn’t interested in them but my mother. She sat calmly in her cell, hugging herself while I was losing my mind.She had just ruined every chance we had.“I mean, even if there was any chance that we could get back that throne, you just destroyed it by showing everyone that you are a murderer! Why would you attempt to kill her in front of everyone?”“Shut up!” she yelled, turning her reddened eyes to me for the first time since we had been thrown in here. “I have heard enough of your rants! If you weren’t so useless, we would be in this situation in the first place. You fool!”My heart thinned as if life was being sucked out of me. “Mother!” Her tone was not something I th
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 160: Not A Crystal
Ella’s POVMy eyes moved to my hands and then back to the healer. “I have more than enough blood. What is the problem now?”The man turned pale and dropped his head to the ground. My eyes narrowed, as confusion and irritation merged into me creating an emotion I couldn’t even define.Seconds passed and the man still couldn’t give me an explanation as the silence went on I started losing my mind. My father was dying in there and he was here unable to even make up his mind.Suddenly, I moved past him and went into the room. The healers and doctors still working, paused as they saw me walking up to them. When I reached them, I pulled the sleeves of my dress and stretched my arm to them.“Here, take the blood and heal him,” I hissed.The men exchanged confused looks before Ryker and the healer rushed in after me. “Ella, they can’t use your blood to change the whole of his blood. The process could kill you and—”“Then I’d prefer it kills me, rather than staying alive without both of my par
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 159: Commotion for Judgment
Ella’s POVRyker’s words were heavy on my chest as I moved out of the office with Myles following behind me. Maybe he was right. Maybe I was becoming like the monsters I wanted to rid the world of, maybe I was becoming something worse, I couldn’t tell.But what I could tell, was the fact that they had brought it upon me and themselves.Rather than return to my seat, I walked to the front of the table and spread my arms, gaining the attention of the audience and the soldiers holding them in place.“The defense was nulled. We shall proceed with the punishment for their crimes.” The room fell silent as everyone held their breaths, waiting for me to relay what was to befall the royal family —my supposed family.My eyes moved to them. Emily fiercely glared at me like it was going to change anything. Then there was Michael, who looked more lost than before. David was lifeless as usual, and Selena was crying. Her face was red as she held onto her father’s wheelchair. My heart cracked when it
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 158: Execution Defense
Ryker’s POV“Willow is right. There is something wrong with her…” Anna whispered beside me. “This isn’t our Ella…”My heart tightened. Anna was right. The pain had consumed Ella. This wasn’t her.“What are we going to do now? She will kill an innocent man who has done nothing but love his daughter.”My thoughts moved around in my head for a few seconds before it came crashing back. I never liked women. I didn’t even think they could be sensible ones out there aside from Willow who I thought was above mistakes. But Ella and her friends had shown me that there was more to being a woman and there were smart ones out there. I realized that the one I thought was perfect, wasn’t at all. Willow was a pretender.But in all of that, I learned one thing.“No one is beyond redemption,” I said with conviction. “We will get our Ella back. She is in there somewhere. We will find her.” “But how?” Anna asked her hands pointing in the direction had gone to. “How do you convince someone who is already
Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 157: Where is the old Ella?
Ryker’s POV“Why would she want to stay back? Why? Has she lost her mind?” Anna screeched when I told them the news. “Michael is crazy. Don’t even get me started on David. That man is sick, and he would do anything. Even with the Alpha’s ability activated in her wolf, they can still hurt her!”I sat on the edge of my seat with my hands joined together. I also didn’t feel good about leaving her behind, but I didn’t want it to seem like I was being clingy. Ella wanted to take care of her people, and she had every right. All I could do was support her as much as I could.“Calm yourself, Anna. I am sure that she will call if she needs anything,” I assured her.Anna’s eyes flared wide and she shook her head, coming closer to me. “You don’t know Ella. She has become very stubborn. She will never call for help because she doesn’t want anyone else to die. She would rather do it all on her own.”I shrugged. The solution to that was very simple. “Well, Esther can tell us. She will call. I am ce
