— Leia Steele —

I suppose I was expecting the two to give me a look, but what I wasn’t expecting was just how… bewildered they would stare at me after I said what I wanted to say.

They both blinked at me like I had gone insane for a few seconds, until Cane finally spoke.

”You’ve got a death wish?”

“No, but you do, if you don’t do as I say.”

Cane scoffed. “Little girl. The Dark Alpha would kill me before you could.”

I flinched at his words.

I can’t say I didn’t think about the possible repercussions my plan would have, and how terrible it will backfire on me and everyone else involved, but at the same time, the thought of the girls suffering even worse as each day passed was overpowering everything else.

I needed to do something, even if it means shedding my own blood, should the Dark Alpha see it fit.

“Look,” Cal stepped up. “You’re not thinking this through, alright? You’re not the only one that’s going to get into a shit ton of trouble if we do something as crazy as releasing hi

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 35: His Nightmare

    — Viktor Morgenstar — The rain was loud and continuous and heavy clouds loomed over the forest, covering every inch in darkness that not even the moonlight could counter. To my right, I hear the sounds of rustling. Even with all the thunder, my sense of hearing is still sharp.Quickly, I turned, and at that exact second, something lunges towards me.Or rather, someone.It is big, almost my size, which of course says a lot. I have never met anyone that came close to my size. What’s even more shocking was that it had strength enough to shove me on to the ground.I growled in anger before shoving it off me. Who dares to defy me? Do they want to die?It was hard to make out what kind of wolf I was fighting as my vision was both dark and blurry, but I knew it was not one of my own. They didn’t stop. The wolf doesn’t pause for one second before it tries to overpower me again by going for my legs.Whoever this was, it was determined and it seems to me like it had an end goal. What was it?

    — Leia Steele —I’ve been running non-stop for hours now, trying to get to every floor, every room, and every corner where there could possibly still be girls.I can’t miss one. If I do, I’ll never be able to forgive myself knowing that once they are all out of here free, one of them will have to take the blame, and I can’t imagine what kind of horror she would have to face because of that.“Hey! You!” I shouted out to a girl in dirty clothes that was scrubbing toilets by the dining hall. She swiftly turned her head and looked at me terrified. It’s clear she must have thought I was one of those awful people from the Shadow Claws who would no doubt berate her if she even tries to mess up.“M— me?” She stutters while holding on to the cleaning brush tightly.“Yes, you. I promise I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to help you.” I said in order to reassure her before rushing to the stall she was in.“Help me? What do you mean? Who— who are you?” She looks at me up and down with obvious co

    — Leia Steele — There is only darkness tonight. The Moon Goddess hasn’t appeared, hidden behind terrifying and large shady clouds that not even her light is able to guide us out of here.I looked away from the night sky, forcing myself to focus on what was happening right now, and to remember that I need to do the best I can to get these girls out of here no matter the situation that arises.“Where the hell are we?!” One girl cried out in frustration, and two others followed right after, and then more, and more.Everybody was getting iffy, but that was to be expected. We’d been walking for almost an hour now. I can imagine how tired their legs were and maybe how hungry they all were, too. I asked a few girls to bring food, but it wasn’t enough for all of them to fill them up. I thought that by this time or less we would be getting nearer the border, but I must have miscalculated. Shit! “Leia… the girls, they’re—“ “I know,” I cut off Jane. I gave her a stern look, making her lower

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 38: Unchain Me

    — Leia Steele —A year ago, my entire life changed in the blink of an eye. Or at least, that’s what it felt like because of how fast everything happened. There was no time to think or do or say anything at all. My entire life as I knew it had been ruined as fast as the snap of a finger.One moment, I remember being in the house with my mother. We were arguing about how I had been lost in thought more and more lately. I remembered she was saying that I was more often than not, spacing out, and would forget chores or things she asked me to do. I remember how frustrated she was, but at the same time worried that something was going on with me, but I also remember how I was more so getting angrier because she wouldn’t leave me alone.“Leia, what is happening to you?” She said, worry evident in her tone, but I was trying to push her away. “Sweetie, please talk to me. Tell me what is going on. We can fix this together. I am here for you, you know that. I love you, my darling. Please let m

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 39: Escaping Hell

    — Leia Steele — My legs and my feet ached terribly. I’d been running around for what seemed like hours, but I knew I couldn’t stop because the second I did, they would find me.And there was no way in hell I was going to be dragged back into that nightmare.I was lucky enough to have passed the border patrol at the exact second they were having a shift change, so for those few minutes, nobody was able to sense nor sniff me out. It also helped that I covered my entire body with dirt and whatever else I could rub myself with from the woods in order to mask my scent. I needed all the help I could get. But fuck, I was tired. So, so tired. It would be a very useful thing for my wolf to suddenly show up now, but I knew that would be impossible. Why did this all have to happen before my ritual or whatever it was I was supposed to do with the Elders? But then again, if I had gotten my wolf, I don’t know how long or how short the Dark Alpha would wait before he marked me, and if that happe

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 40: Unexpected Heir

    — Viktor Morgenstar —Something was wrong… very, very, wrong. I could feel it even before my body awakened, the Dark Shadow in me stirring like crazy, unable to stay still.The second my eyes opened, my body knowing that the sun had now fully set, that was when the feeling got stronger.I knew instantly what it was.Or rather, what was missing.Her. Getting up off the bed, I grabbed some clothes and hurriedly put them on before rushing out of the room. When I got out and didn’t see my Beta or Gamma waiting for me, I felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment and annoyance. Where the fuck were they? Or better yet, what the fuck were they doing? Last night, I was very specific on what they had to do — keep an eye on Leia and never let her out of their sight during her… shift. As much as I wanted to stay and revel watching her do exactly as I hoped she would do, I had to meet some asshole Alpha that arrived a day earlier than we had planned. I needed him to form an alliance, and h

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 41: Runaway Girl

    — Leia Steele —I wasn’t sure how long I had been walking, how many days or weeks had passed since I told myself that no matter what happened, I wouldn’t stop and I would keep going and going.But what I did know was that I was almost back to being skin and bones. It helped that I was able to scavenge food here and there from random campsites that I encountered and animals that wandered around, but still, they were not enough to sustain me as much as I needed.I knew though, that even if every part of my body hurt, that still wouldn’t hinder me from my goal which was to get as far away as possible.I looked up to take in my surroundings. The sun was lighting up the forest I was in beautifully, tinting the vast greenery a gorgeous shade of yellow and orange. It was like a painting in real life. Not that I had many to compare to, but this was one of the few things that kept me going.The feeling of the warm sun against my skin, the smell of freshly bloomed flowers, and even the sound of

    — Leia Steele —“Strawberries? Blueberries? Um… a few peach slices?” I turned to Edith who was smiling from ear to ear as she watched me with fascination.“You’re missing just one more ingredient,” she says to me as she raises her fork with a piece of pie stuck to it.She wiggles her fork and the smell of the freshly-baked pastry fills my nose. “A little bit of lemon juice!” I said with much confidence after being able to detect which exact ingredients she had baked int it.“Yes! Exactly that!” Edith says cheerfully, followed by a clap. “Bravo, kid. You truly have a spectacular sense of smell.” Christopher appeared from behind the kitchen door and gave me a glass of what looked like wine.“Christopher,” Edith called him as she tilted her head with a bemused expression. “What? It’s sparkling wine, sweetheart.” He corrected and I couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.It would be really interesting for them to find out that I may be technically nineteen, but in human years, I am de

    — Zane Frost — I hadn’t heard that voice for a while now and it did sound like it could have gotten a bit deeper than before, but I could still distinguish it. Sure enough, when the door swung open, he was all smiles standing in the hallway. Boy, I was not expecting him to have gotten even bigger than he was already before and did he grow a little stubble, too? “I’m back! Surprise!” Skye looked at us beaming excitedly. “Oh, Zane’s here, too! Great! I thought I was going to arrive tomorrow morning, but the journey ended up being a little faster than I thought so— wait a second…” He paused and that’s when I know he finally realized that it wasn’t just me that was also there. “Who… is she?” He blinked at her intrigued. “Well, this is definitely one homecoming I didn’t see coming…” I said with a soft chuckle to lighten up the mood but that didn’t really help. River let out a sigh before confessing to his brother. “This is Eva… my mate.” “Holy. Shit.” Skye reacted in

    — Zane Frost — Preparations had been going on for a couple of weeks now. Everybody was excited for Skye’s sudden announcement that he was coming back earlier than usual. Even if I hounded him for more information, that boy was like a vault and he didn’t open up, not even to Leia who was itching to know what had made him suddenly want to come back. “What do you think he meant by ‘big news’?” Leia asked as we were in the kitchen, gathering ingredients to make all the dishes we knew everybody, especially Skye, would love. Usually we would leave the Pack chefs in charge of this, but since Leia was having this phase where she wanted to cook anything and everything, I wanted to be there and help her out. “I don’t know. Anything is possible with that guy.” I honestly answered with a shoulder shrug as I passed her the sifted flour she asked for. We were making various baked goods, but first one on the list was skolebrød, which was a bun filled with a gooey and delicious vanilla c

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 83: One True Mate

    — Viktor Morgenstar — Before I jumped into that water, I thought it was the only way to preserve what little I had left in my life. In my mind, it was better to die than to live another day without Leia and our baby. I believed I was as good as dead. Until I got washed away onto land and I took another breath. It was hard to explain exactly what that felt like, but what was worse was having to watch the only love you have ever known get pulled away by somebody else and the baby you desperately wanted cared for men you had no idea of. My Dark Shadow screamed and screamed for me to get them back and though every part of me wanted the same as well, I knew that I no longer deserved them. For the first time in my life, I realized that what I wanted isn’t something that I am always supposed to have. After I knew that Leia and the baby were safe, I knew what I had to do. I had to leave and somehow, in some way, I had to become better. Not just for the family that I lost,

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 82: Two Letters

    — Leia Steele — I have heard and read about countless experiences, many good, many bad, about the newborn stage, but nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to when you are experiencing it yourself. Luckily for me, the phrase ‘it takes a village’ is definitely in effect with the White Howlers. There hasn’t been a minute that I’ve been completely alone with Lux and I couldn’t ask for anything else. Whether it’s Keira offering to help me breastfeed since I was obviously new in all of this and my body was still somewhat recovering thus producing less than ideal, or Skye and the other boys more than happily entertaining him during tummy time with all sorts of antics, or even the usually stoic Alpha Titus excitedly playing with Lux and Zora, his and Keira’s baby girl, everybody has been an absolute gem every single day. But of course, only one person has truly never left my side, and that is— “Zane Frost!” I heard a very passionate squeal on the other side of the door where

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 81: Our Baby

    — Leia Steele — I woke up feeling somewhat… amazing, which is a completely baffling thing because as far as I can recall, I just fell off a cliff and dove into water while I was bleeding to death. How the hell does it feel like my body is completely healed? Or the fact that I even woke up because I could have sworn I thought I wasn’t going to make it out of there alive? Or wait… I sat up from the bed and frantically began to look around and take in my surroundings, trying to figure out where I was. Maybe I am dead?! “I can see from the very astounded expression on your face right now that you think you’ve somehow woken up in another space or timeline.” I turned to where the sound came from and saw a beaming familiar face. “Skye!” I couldn’t help but squeal his name out of pure happiness to see him, and he looks good at that. “Hey, tough one. Glad to see you’re doing good. No pain, right?” He asked as he walked over to sit on the chair next to me. I noticed tha

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 80: Before/After

    (Two Years Later) — Zane Frost — I am seated at the edge of the lake. The very spot I always find myself in whenever I go here. I don’t know why, but my body just somewhat gravitates to this place every single time without fail. Even now when seeing the sight of water still triggers a memory in me, I still stay here. My eyes closed as I laid down on the grass. Winter has gone, exchanged for Spring, and all the snow has melted, replaced with flowers of different colors that had bloomed a new life. A new life, it repeated in my head. That is what Spring is; the beginning of something new. Perhaps everyone, every single person in this world has had a moment that has split their life into two. When you look back at your days, there is something that changed you, some specific time that you know was cataclysmic to your entire existence. A moment that creates what happened before and what happened after. It shades your memories in a different perspective just as it shi

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 79: Free Fall

    — Leia Steele — “AAAAAAHHHHHH!” I screamed and screamed until it felt like my lungs were going to give out at any second. It was hard to focus on anything aside from the crippling pain that was coming from my belly but transmitting all throughout my entire body. Viktor had quickly pulled me out of the room where the coronation was happening and when I thought he was rushing me to the Pack’s infirmary, he turned a different way that I had no idea where it was leading to. “AAAAAAHHHHHH!” More screams come out of me and I swear it feels like somebody is ripping my belly open. The sound of commotion seems like it’s following us. Left and right I hear people screeching as well as things being destroyed to the ground as the earth itself shook. “Wh— what’s… h— happening…” I managed to get the words out of me as I squirmed in pain as Viktor carried me in his arms tightly. In my mind, I wished somebody else was holding onto me, but my body was a betrayer, lavishing in the

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 78: Awakened Vengeance

    — Zane Frost — I feel like absolute shit. Maybe that in itself is even an understatement because from my head to my toes, it’s like I’m being pushed onto the ground by twenty six-wheelers trucks. That is excluding the fact that my head feels like I’ve been pushed out of a plane and I’m currently twirling around and around fifty thousand feet up in the air. Holy shit. What the fuck is going on? “Zane? Zane! You’re awake?! Guys, he’s awake!” I heard a familiar voice shout out and I flinched in pain almost immediately. There was a loud echo in my ears and I thought my head was going to burst. “Shit, sorry,” the voice mumbled an apology. “Wr du hl m ei…” I tried to speak, but I doubt the letters that came out of my mouth could even form a single understandable word. My suspicions were proven correct when the person next to me burst out into a fit of laughter. If I had the energy to smack them, I would have done it, but alas, aside from being able to move my lips

  • Running With His Heir   Chapter 77: Monsters Bleed

    — Zane Frost — Chaos. Madness. Death. It was left and right. It was almost impossible to escape, but I kept pushing. I told myself that I had to. I knew I had to for her, for Leia, for Keira, for everybody in my Pack and Alpha Titus’. This was all our fight and we had to end this today. No matter what. As soon as anyone tried to come after me, I fought to kill. I don’t think about anything else, but to get the upper hand. The very first time you hesitate, there’s no coming back from that. I see the bloodthirst in their eyes and in the way they growl. These wolves are different. Whilst the White Howlers and Blazing Wolves were trained to mostly defend themselves from the enemies, these ones were trained to do no defending, only killing, like they were all raised to be killing machines. It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, but I had to keep up with them if I had to get to Leia. When I saw her get dragged into that house out of nowhere, it was like a switch
