Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha Chapter 61: Chaos
Michael’s POV“Leave us!” Alpha Andrew added, “Everyone outside, except the royal family and Michael…”Murmurs filled the hall, but no one dared disregard the words of the alpha. Soon all the council elders and guards filed out of the hall leaving just the people he had requested.I was still on the ground, not for respect or anything but for good measure and fake loyalties. Now that Ella was gone, the best thing I could move to the next stage by making use of the opportunity. I was going to break the brother’s bond.It wasn’t even strong to begin with. Anyone who cared to look closely enough could see that there were a lot of empty spaces between them. David was power hungry just like me, but he lacked my brains and my looks.Andrew was too good to be a king and he got easily manipulated and this was how he got mixed in my father’s murder. Technically he wasn’t to be blamed but I blamed him still. He was the alpha, he was the leader, and he should have known when to give up. The thr

Ryker's POVPatrick had been gone for a few days and there was still no news about him. I was getting a very bad feeling about everything but I refused to think about it.I was certain that Ella was alive and that was all that mattered. Nothing else did.I finished my meetings for the day and I was supposed to have dinner but for some reason, the food didn't have any taste in my mouth. I took just a few bites and dumped the plate.I got up and started marching out of the dining room. I had no idea where I was going but I let my legs lead.My mind felt like a time bomb had been implanted into it. It was silent yet waiting for the news that could make it explode.My legs continued moving till I stopped right in front of Ella's room. Despite myself, I got in and my heart shifted in my chest.I moved to her wardrobe and pulled out the first dress that my hand touched. It was a simple blue dress with straps at the ends that flowed freely downward.It was beautiful but its beauty could not

Ella's POV"Are you sure about this?" Esther asked me for the umpteenth time as we prepared to leave.I stared at our reflection through the large mirror in the room and I shrugged my shoulders."I don't know... I just want to get this over with," I whispered, and then as if the piece of information had escaped my mind before my brows raised and I turned to face her directly."Besides, this was your idea. If I get killed my soul will haunt you," I added playfully."It wasn't my idea per se. All I did was to suggest it. You accepted!" She retorted with a small smile on her face.I only shook my head at her comeback. Then I proceeded to the door."It doesn't matter anymore, we are already going," I murmured.Esther suddenly grabbed my upper arms and I was forced to stop walking as I turned to look at her."That's where you get it wrong... It matters. If you don't want this, then we can just abort the mission." She whispered and for the first time, I saw the seriousness in her eyes.I cl

Ryker's POVAs soon as I heard the commotion outside, my wolf skipped with excitement as the whole of me realized that she was here.I got to the entrance and watched as she handled the maids. She remained poised with a smile on her face even though I could feel the strange turmoil within her like they belonged to me.She was worried about something but none of it showed on her face. She continued showing off her smile but I could see it in her eyes that her heart was troubled.Somehow this made me happy. At least she knew what I could do to her for what she did.As she got closer, I had to remind myself to look stern.I had to remind myself that I was angry with her and she should be punished for leaving without warning.She had broken our agreement and left without a reason. I should attack her from that angle but my body started acting on its own as soon as I became bathed by her aura.My hand stretched forward to her and a grin danced on my lips.I told myself I was doing this so t

Ella's POVSaying that I regretted coming to Ryker was an understatement. I never thought for once that he would not believe me.Hearing him ask those questions tore me down to the last shred.I realized yet again that I was very stupid for thinking that he would take me with open arms or at least offer something that could be worth it.And now to make it worse Willow was back.Ryker and I turned to the door with wide eyes, wondering if the sound of her voice had just been in my head but there she was with a large fake smile on her face.My heart started beating fast.This was not in my plan. I hoped I would get a sort of agreement with Ryker before Willow returned home.Now everything was back to ground zero."Baby!" She exclaimed as she waltzed into the room and wrapped her arms around Ryker not even caring that we were standing just a few feet apart."I missed you so much, baby!" She wined plastering hundreds of kisses on Ryker's face.But when she broke away from him, her cold blu

Michael’s POVDays passed and there was still no sign of Ella. I sent my men to ravage the forest and surrounding towns, but Ella was nowhere to be found.I was starting to grow frustrated as the days went by. My plan was going to be ruined if I let her just disappear like that. She was the key to everything. Andrew was ready to hand over the entire pack to my waiting hands after the ceremony and now she was missing.A knock at the door pulled me out of my thoughts and I raised my head to find Jason with a serious look on his face.“Any news, Jason?” I asked, getting to my feet but my hope died down almost as soon as it was born. He shook his head drew one of the chairs and sat down.“We have searched every inch of the forest and the wastelands. We even went to her course mates in college but none of them had her. Finding her as has become as hard as finding a pin in the middle of the ocean, man. I don’t know what to do anymore,” Jason said.“Damn it!” I cursed, kicking off the chair

Michael’s POV"Selena, we can still talk about this... Please my love—""Guards!" She yelled, cutting off my words and that was when I knew it was over.Her eyes glared at me with such fire I knew there was no turning back. I was doomed. My plans were ruined."Selena please, my love don't do this!" I tried to plead with her for the last time but she refused to listen to me.She started screaming for the guards and I knew that staying there was going to do more harm than good. The last thing I needed was for Andrew to find me there, he would definitely doubt my intentions.Quickly, I slipped out of her room before the guards arrived and I hid in the next room.As Selena screamed at them to find me and keep me away from her, I glued myself to the wall and squeezed my eyes shut.This was bad. This was very bad and I had to think of a new plan as soon as possible.I waited for the guards to move away and as soon as they did, moved out of the room I was hidden in and returned to my room w

Ryker's POV I could still hear Ella's cries even as I returned to my room. My wolf was fighting my resolve. I wanted to run to her and hold her in my arms but I found myself stuck in a dilemma.A part of me wanted to believe her. A part of me wanted to treat her right but another part of me strongly believed that Willow couldn't lie to me.She couldn't harm anyone. She was very sweet and innocent. She cared about everyone around her and she wouldn't want to harm anyone but Ella had dared accuse her of attempted murder.That couldn't have been right.But then again, why would Ella lie to me about Willow?A thousand thoughts went through my head and I walked into the shower for a cold bath, hoping to ease the stress I was going through.It did work but the moment I stepped out of the shower, the pain and stress returned. This time, I became worried about how Willow would handle all these.In front of Ella, she maintained her calmness and she didn't say a word about me. But how did she

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
