Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 151: The End Game
Michael’s POVAfter the conversation with my mother, my head was hurting from too much thinking. We couldn’t come up with a perfect solution, so the only thing left to do was to return to my chambers, get a good sleep, and by morning, I would see the damage my actions had caused and find a lasting solution.The goddess must have truly loved Ella. My plans were so easy, yet she found a way to make it complicated. Now trying to fix it was making it harder and close to impossible. But I was certain that after tonight, I would solve it.My hands ran into my hair for the millionth time as I left my mother’s room and proceeded to my room where Sarah was waiting for me.“My sweet King,” she whispered the moment I opened the door. “What took you so long?”Her voice alone helped to calm my nerves. It was like cooling water on my burning skin.“Just a long day… which I had already guessed that was why I asked you to come,” I lied.I didn’t think my plan would even fail. I had called her here be

Ella’s POV“You think I am scared of you!?” Michael spat out with his ears burning red in anger.It was sad that he still didn’t realize how fucked up he was. I walked to the bed and lowered myself gently, watching him continue to embarrass himself.“I order you all to stay away from me. I am your alpha! I rule over you!” he yelled but even the men scoffed and rolled their eyes at him.Slowly, he started comprehending his awful situation. He turned around facing each of us as if he was losing his mind, and then he screamed, coming at me. Before he could reach anywhere, Myles stopped him, and he was immediately placed into chains.“I command you all to stop this! Let me go! Release me instantly!” he screamed repeatedly.And that was when I got up and walked close to him, my eyes burning with the pain he and his supposed mother had made me go through before I lost my baby.“No one would listen to you, Michael. You had your time and you messed it up. Do not expect anyone to help you now.

Ella’s POVMy heart stopped beating and I thought I was in a dream. Esther couldn’t be hurt. She was fine just a second ago. We were hugging each other and crying and then —the blood spreading over her back.My head was blank. Nothing worked. All I saw was Esther’s body getting soaked with blood as I helplessly held onto her.“Esther, what is happening?” I whimpered unable to raise my voice as my trembling hands moved all over her trying to find out what was going on. Where did the blood even come from?“Esther… speak to me…” I insisted but Esther could only let out gasps as she struggled to keep her eyes open.The world created a bubble around us, and time became slow as everything happened slowly around us. The blood continued spreading over her and I slowly began to realize that I would lose her if nothing was done. No one could lose this much blood and remain alive, not even a werewolf.Panic spread through me at a faster rate and my eyes became blurry with my tears. My heart st

Ella’s POVLike someone in a trance, I slipped out of the room and headed to the cabin at the back of the main palace building. There was only one thing on my mind and that was to destroy Selena for doing this.I was angry. I was devastated. I was scared.If anything, happened to Esther, I didn’t even know how I was going to begin coping with the pain because there was just no way. She was more than just a friend to me. She was my family. The only one who stood by me through it all. And Selena chose to take her from me.I burst through the pathways, ignoring the stares of the guards who watched me as I brushed through them like a flaming ball of fire. But I cared less. I was only concerned with reaching my goal which was getting to Selena.When the views of the old cabin came to my eyes, the fire of rage within me erupted. I could feel the heat of my anger fuming through my ears. My fingers were going numb from it and the only thing that could stop it was having Selena in my bare hand

Ella’s POVI marched into the throne room; my anger placed under perfect control yet just close enough to explode when the situation was needed. The council elders were already sitting around the rectangular table they had prepared for the question.I marched down to the center and picked the chair there. When I was settled, I looked around at each of them with my eyes stern and burning with anger.“I presume you are all aware of the current situation and I believe you also know who I am.” I paused, watching all their expressions.Most of them nodded and looked on at me expectantly, while only a few looked clueless. So, I went on.“In that case, I would like for the coronation to be done today. Is there something you may need?” I asked, watching them once again. “If there is, tell it to Myles and it shall be done.”I slapped my hands on the table and pushed myself to my feet. “Get someone to get me as soon as you are done.” I moved aside and I was just taking the first step away when

Ella’s POVThe light in the throne room had been increased and I noticed the crown dazzling at the center. Where the table once sat was no more. It was now a stage that carried a single slender table with a crown atop it.The elders were lined behind the table, and I walked straight to them, my flowing red dress shimmering under the light like a red river.My heart was tight just like my face. There was no expression only the overwhelming pain I was pushing away deep within me. this moment was not a time to show weakness. It was time to show my enemies that I could be just as evil as they were.As I reached the elders, they all bowed and I nodded with satisfaction before turning around to see if they had released my supposed father, Andrew.And yes, our eyes met as he stood with his silver chains. He was watching me with a painful glare, and I ignored the reception that came to my heart. He might have birthed me, but his relationship with me ended there.“Alpha Andrew, you will have t

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

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

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

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

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

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
