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 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 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 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 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 Prologue: Sold To The Alpha
— Leia Steele — “Get up, you pathetic child!” The shout came from my father, but I kept my eyes shut hoping that if I didn't wake up, he would leave me alone. But that would be too easy, and easy was never the case in my life ever since I lost my mother. “Don’t pretend you can’t hear me, you stupid girl!” He shouted once more before kicking me hard at the side of my body, hitting my rib. I yelped in pain as I crouched down and held that side, but he didn’t stop. Even when he knew that I was already awake, he still kicked me a few more times until he was ‘satisfied’. I remained frozen still, covering my body as much as I could, though useless. “Get dressed. We’re going out.” He ordered me before finally leaving me in the dark again. Back then I used to cry for hours. I used to beg for him to stop, to have mercy on me, but that was then. It was three months of continuous abuse until the tears no longer came, until I realized that he would never stop, and I had come to accep
Running With His Heir Chapter 1: Shadow Claws
— Leia Steele — The entire territory of the Shadow Claws Pack was in utter chaos and there was only one reason as to why – he was coming back. His real name is Viktor Morgenstar, but every single person who has ever come across him knows him as the Dark Alpha. Some feel fortunate to know him for he is powerful in a lot of ways, but the others, the unfortunate ones like me, to us it was like the shadow of death looming over us. One mistake and it would be over, so it was better to not experience firsthand nor learn how he got such a name in the first place. Tragically, that was what happened to his parents and his own mate and it did not end well for any of them. At least, according to what I have heard from the whispers along the corridors. “Look at this pathetic little slave on the floor. How does it feel to be like dirt? Oh, you missed a spot.” A man dressed in fine black leather pushed me to the ground, causing me to spill the bucket of water all over the marble floor I had jus
Running With His Heir Chapter 2: Dark Alpha
— Leia Steele — There is a reason that I long stopped to believe that my life here could be better for me. That one of these days something would happen, or I would meet someone that could change my life in this place. The reason is that every single time I do have that faint hope, it never goes the way that I thought it would and I always, always get disappointed. Once in a while there comes a moment that I am somehow blindsided, and for a second, a very quick and fleeting second, I think that this time it could be different. Unfortunately, I should know by now that that is never the case. I am harshly pulled out of the absurd fantasy that Beta Calypso felt anything but hatred towards me when his grip on my wrist tightens and I am painfully shoved against the wall, the back of my head hitting against the hardness and I squirm in pain. “What the fuck are you staring at, peasant? Get your ass to the Alpha’s room and start cleaning because if I see just one single dust anywhe

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
