Running With His Heir Chapter 46: Fate? Mate?
— Leia Steele —I was nothing but nervous, and everything but relaxed as I stood there waiting for Skye to arrive at the spot he told me to meet him the next day.There were so many things running through my head that I was sure any second from now I would get the worst migraine of my life.Would he show up? What if he doesn’t? Did it mean that this was all a lie and he never really meant anything of what he said? Or maybe it was just all my imagination? Or maybe something bad had happened to him and there was no way for me to know how to help since he never really told me anything but his first name?!“Oh my goddess,” I let out a deep exhale, my heart going on overdrive.That was one heck of an overthinking session that I had to find a spot next to a tree and sit down beside it before I fainted.I checked the time on my watch and realized that I was a few minutes earlier. I could have sworn more time had passed, but it seems I really was just in over my head.I turned around and debat
Running With His Heir Chapter 47: Second Chance
— Zane Frost —The clock had barely struck eight in the morning, but the Pack castle was all sorts of chaotic already, though mostly in a good way. We haven’t had a celebration this big, since… well, since the cold-hearted and psychotic wrench of a woman named Ivy, who was River’s ex Luna, had been caught in her web of lies.She didn’t know how to do anything but spend Pack resources for her and only her benefit. I remembered the day she arrived in the Pack, and her first concern was to throw herself a party, claiming that her arrival as Luna needed to be celebrated.Sure, that bit made sense, but after that, she pretty much just celebrated everything, and dear God, don’t even get me started on how River back then ate all of it up like he was a starving fat boy and Ivy was a big chocolate cake.It was maddening the way I had to endure all of that since I was River’s right hand. I had already lost count of how many times I told him to open his eyes and stop being blinded by the mate bo
Running With His Heir Chapter 48: Being Different
— Leia Steele —“Hey, L? L? Hello? Helloooo?” I shook my head before turning to the side where I noticed Skye was looking at me with furrowed brows and a creased forehead. “What just happened? It was like your body was here, but your mind was somewhere in outer space. Is everything alright?” He asked.“Uh, I’m fine. I just— uh, there was—“ I turned to look back to my other side where I saw him, but suddenly, there was no trace of anybody that looked like him in the crowd.I looked again, turning my head left and right, probably looking like a lunatic to whoever was watching me.“Wait, where did he go? What the heck? Was I imagining things? I— I could have sworn I saw—““Saw what? Are you looking for someone or something?” Skye asked while I couldn’t help but keep scanning the area for a certain face.We had some distance from each other, yeah, but I know what I saw and what I felt when I did. If there was a vision higher than 20/20, that’s what it seemed like at that very second.He
Running With His Heir Chapter 49: No Regrets
— Zane Frost —“I’m not going back out there,” with a stern tone I told Keira, who has followed me back inside. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen or felt, but it was right there, and I saw it with my own two eyes. Hell, it couldn’t be even more real and clear even if I was hundreds of feet away from her.I knew instantly who she was to me. She was my mate, my second chance mate. One that I was just saying a few hours ago that there was no way I was getting nor did I want to get.This was… insane.“What do you mean you’re not? Yes, you are!” Keira demanded before taking my hand and forcing me to stop walking or running or whatever it is I’m doing.Well, I am purposely trying to get away from all of this, from her.Even though Jack inside of me is stirring like mad.‘Take it easy, boy. Get yourself together.’ I linked to him, but he whined back.‘Don’t you think I’m already trying to do that? This bond is making me go insane! It’s telling me to run out there and pull her in for a
Running With His Heir Chapter 50: Say Yes
— Zane Frost —What kind of wolf… doesn’t have a wolf? I mean, I’ve heard stories of dormant ones, but you could still feel them in there. If Jack says she doesn’t have a wolf, that means it would be impossible for her to shift. That thought racked my brain while I remained normal on the outside, not wanting to ruin this moment between the two of us.We were just starting to be on a good note, but Jack, this dimwit, thought it would be perfect timing to drop this news on me now. “Okay,” she suddenly said and my heart jumped.“Okay? Oh, wow, that’s— that’s really great. Thank you, uh…” “It’s Ve—“ She cleared her throat and bit her lip nervously. “Leia… my name is Leia.” “That’s a beautiful name,” I said, unable to help myself. “I’m Zane Frost. I’m the Beta.” I think I must have intimidated her because her cheeks turned red almost instantly.“It’s not a big deal, I swear. We’re all just… casual here. Please don’t feel too nervous.” I reassured her and she slowly nodded her head.“C
Running With His Heir Chapter 51: Pack Family
— Leia Steele —Why did I say that? Why did I just say yes to something so absurd without thinking about it thoroughly?! Oh my goddess, I’m freaking out.I splashed more water on my face for the twentieth time and tried to continue my breathing exercises, but honestly, none of it was working.After I excused myself to go to the bathroom, I’ve locked myself in here for Goddess knows how long and have contemplated my life decisions.Is it too late to take back my answer? What if I just lied that I actually had another Pack waiting for me or that I was going far far away so it was impossible for me to stay? That’s stupid! Skye would instantly know I still live here if he can sense me. Plus, I really, really hate lying, especially to good people that didn’t deserve to be fooled.“Ughhhh,” I grumbled in frustration before slumping on one of the cozy leather couches by the restroom lounge. The whole place looked like a five star winter resort, it was actually both magnificent and overwhel
Running With His Heir Chapter 52: Coming Home
— Leia Steele —Edith and Christopher watched as I packed my things, which weren’t really a lot, though they kept insisting I take more and more. At this point, I might have to bring a whole box.“Oh, sweetie, don’t forget this sweater. You said you liked this one, right? It always made your green eyes pop.” Edith commented as she passed me the white fleece sweater.I couldn’t tell her that as soon as I’m back with the White Howlers, I might not even need to wear thick clothing. I never did feel cold since arriving here, but I needed to act like I did because that’s how a human body worked. “Thank you,” I told Edith with a smile before trying to stuff the sweater in my pink duffle bag that was also a gift from them.“What about this one? I think you’ll need another thick coat because—“ “Oh, honey, stop giving Vera so many things. She could barely fit the sweater already. I’m sure they have all the clothes one will need there in, uh…” Christopher turned to me, as if waiting for me to
Running With His Heir Chapter 53: Search Continues
— Beta Calypso —The wind by the flowing river feels colder tonight, instantly drying the droplets of sweat that remained around my neck and back.I’d just finished another run, the adrenaline still rushing in me as my heart pumped, but it became slower and slower.I used my hands to scoop some water and splashed it on my face. It was refreshing, and equal parts awakening. I haven’t felt this energized in a while, especially when Viktor’s been on our ass for Goddess knows how long now.Leia this, Leia that. He’s killed no less than ten searchers who have come back empty-handed every time they went away to look for her. Cane and I had to remind him that the more he killed because of how pissed he was, the slimmer his chances of finding her got. It’s not exactly easier to find a person when you only have one searcher left, is it?I stand up and walk a few feet further to the edge of the river where the forest is covered more in moss and flowers that glowed under the moonlight. Not a lot

Running With His Heir Epilogue Part Two
— 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
Running With His Heir Epilogue Part One
— 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
