Glory TinaThanks for reading. I am sorry there was a mix up in the uploading of chapter 72 and 73 I had to take it down because the chapter 72: Pain of Sacrifice did not fit for now, rather for the future. (Ace chapter.) I didn't want to delete it and make readers pay double so I edited it and if you reload it, you will get the new chapter, but it might take a while ( a day or two) for the correction to be approved. I hope you understand what I am saying I know the error if on my side and I apologise. Thanks for your understanding.

Trigger warning, deathElliott POV Elliott and Zara stepped into the throne room and found it empty. It wasn’t weird to find it empty. It was already late in the night, as he had spent the whole day with Zara, and she worked her charm, which cheered him up. She helped take his mind off the sudden loss of his son.He stayed the rest of the day with her, lost in the thrill of passion and desire. She took his mind off the battle that lay ahead and made him think only of her. It worked, and all the hours he spent with her made him happy. But just like every good thing, it had to come to an end.He did something he had not done before: he returned to the palace hand in hand with her. In the past, there was a limit to her presence in the palace and around him, especially after Lily came from Shelled, but now more than ever, he felt he needed her. His mate didn’t support him anymore and had called him a bastard, which he felt was a slap in the face. He needed someone who saw things the same

Edward raced through the woods as fast as his legs could take him, and Eai, Alpha Zayn, and Alpha Chado tried to keep up. He wanted to run faster, but he had to consider the strength of the others with him. Eai could keep up, but the others who were older couldn’t. Yes, they had feasted on the flesh of the guard after being released, but they were still far from recovering from the many months of being locked up and having their werewolf abilities suppressed.He didn’t know where he was running to, as the forbidden forest was a nightmare puzzle to solve, but they had to run. The two alphas and guard behind him trusted his judgement and ran behind him.Edward had been locked up for only a day, yet he felt as if it were longer. His magic was almost nonexistent, and he couldn’t feel it in his veins as he felt his blood. The presence of it was gone, and that made him vulnerable. Despite being a wolf, he had never relied on that alone. He had always relied more on his magic, and unless the
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 77: The Dark bargain
“My prince!” was the last thing he heard. The next moment, he travelled out of his body, wandering into the dark dimensions, void of anything living. It was not complete darkness, but there was barely any light, and so he struggled to make out things as he wandered in further. Their story was taught to them as children. The moon goddess had a lover. His name was Doom, and he was just like her. For millions of years, they both ruled together in love until they both created supernatural beings on earth. The attention of the moon goddess shifted from her lover, Doom, to her children, and Doom grew resentful, hating all they had created together and wanting nothing from it. He then created Mischief and planted his immortal seed in her so that they would live together. The moon goddess found out what he had done and felt hurt and betrayed. She banished him from Life Beyond with the new creature he made wife. Doom then created the Dark Dimensions as their new settlement to live in. Misch
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 78: The darkness manifested
“He looks worse, and the king said dead or alive. Since he’s as good as dead, I might as well finish the job.” the guard said and stepped towards Alpha Zayn, but Zayn launched his limping self at the guard, growling loudly, and before the guard could fight him off, he thrust his claws into the man’s chest, seeking out his heart. As soon as his hand came in contact with the throbbing heart, he yanked it out, and the guard fell to the ground, choking on his blood. Alpha Zayn fell to the floor tired, and the guards ran over him to subdue him and Eai on the floor. “Take off his head!” A guard commanded. “Rip his heart out!” another said, his voice louder than the first. Suffocated and crushed by the weight of many on him, Zayn’s lashes fluttered, and his mind began wandering into oblivion. “That’s not how to fight fair, is it? Or is this how your coward of a king taught you to fight wounded men at a disadvantage?” Edward asked, stepping out from behind the trees. The guards on top of
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 79: Battlefield
Xavier rode on his horse to meet up with Sir Valerio and Alpha Koz, who were already at the black cove. He was sitting on his horse and staring off into the distance at the army marching towards them.“Klean allies never came; I had to leave,” Xavier said as his horse came to stand beside the quiet Sir Valerio and Alpha Koz.“Then we have no choice but to fight with what we have.” Sir Valerio answered, his eyes fixed ahead.Xavier, at this moment, wished Edward was here with him. He was always the optimistic one in times like this, and he would have been an advantage to them, especially since their numbers were lower than what they had capitalised on. With Edward in their corner, they would have gained an advantage. Still, they had to carry on fighting the fight as if Edward were with them.“What are the odds that we win this battle?” Xavier asked, with curiosity in his voice.“Risky odds. They have the numbers, both riders and foot soldiers,” he said, “but with our level of determina

Author’s note: This chapter was in 72, but I uploaded it too early and had to change it. I’m sorry for the mix-up. There are a lot of changes in the chapter as well, so please don’t just skip it.Xoe lay in bed, trying to sleep but not finding it. Tomorrow is another day, and from the looks of things, it might just be the longest and the most exhausting. She needed rest and sleep, but it didn’t come. The memory of the day replayed in her mind, especially that of the kiss she shared with Ace. He knew what she needed, and he gave it to her. The reassurance that everything would be fine was in the kiss. She knew Niall lingered in her life and wouldn’t go away soon, but she wanted to think about Ace. She wanted to think about positive things and positive things only, and Niall wasn’t one of them.The last thing that was on her mind before she fell asleep was what it would be like to be with Ace for the rest of her life.The central bell went off, and her lashes fluttered to see a new day.

Mia paced around in the uppermost part of the High Tower, restless. She could feel every emotion Xavier felt on the battlefield. These emotions ranged from anger to fear, uncertainty, and pessimism, and in the past hour, she had felt the fear emotions more than anything else. Xavier was afraid. Something had him afraid on the battlefield, and it made her uneasy. He had made her stay back, insisting this was better, but this was no better because she felt as if she were on the battlefront as well.She should have stood her ground and gone with him, a part of her thought, but she knew Xavier had also made her stay back because he wanted her to lead the allies coming from Klean as soon as they arrived.That’s if they ever arrived.Xavier showed scepticism about the arrival of the allies from Klean, so asking her to lead them if they arrived would have been another way of telling her he didn’t want her on the battlefront.She was pregnant, but she had gone through worse and somehow survive

Kailani raced as fast as she could to the Palace Du Royale, where Alpha Chado had told her Edward was headed when they last saw him. The ongoing battle had made it easier for her to ride here with ease because the soldiers, guard, and army were nowhere on the road. Most of them had assembled at the Black Cove for the battle, and the rest were at the palace, guarding and keeping it safe. It was good enough for her and aided her movements, as she no longer had to hide to avoid confrontation or arrest.She slowed down when she drew closer to the gates of the palace, where her trouble would start. She knew there would be soldiers on guard at the palace to protect and defend it against intruders like her. She already fixed her mind on fighting them with everything she had way before she reached the palace, and there was no turning back.She pushed at the gate, and it opened with little to no restraint, and she stepped into the palace estate compound. Her heart was beating loudly at this poi

Three months later“My king, this is the monthly report of the work tasks already put in place at the warriors’ institute.” Sir Kole stepped forward to present the scroll to King Xavier, who sat on the throne, and beside him was Luna Queen Mia, who was heavily pregnant.He had asked her this morning before they both stepped out of their chamber if she would feel comfortable being in the throne room. He saw that her due date drew closer with each passing day. She had smiled and told him she was okay and able to carry on her duties as queen and counsel for the king. This was the ninth month. They were preparing themselves with every passing day for the due date, but they knew they would never fully prepare for the birth of their child. Still, it was better this way. The king wanted her in good working condition and treated her almost like a child who couldn’t help herself. It annoyed her most of the time, but he didn’t look ready to change his ways, at least not until their child was saf
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 89: A reminder for the broken
He drew a sharp breath and turned to find her eyes filled with panic and unexplainable fear.“What was that?” she asked with a still terrified voice.“It’s my being responding to the call.”“The call, the call of what?”“The slave ship. It has come to the border of the Wahala kingdom. Though freed from being a slave by my lord, I still feel the brokenness in me responding to the dark magic of the ship.”The only thing Kailani heard from everything he just said was, “The slave ship is at our border.”“Yes!” He nodded, already heading out of the house, and Kailani followed behind.As soon as he stepped out, he waved his hand around, reciting the portal chant at the same time, and a big, black circle appeared before him.“What are you doing?” Kailani asked, her voice holding much scepticism. Her question reminded him that she was still with him.“I promised to inform the King if the ship was ever to land on the shores of the kingdom, and that’s what I’m going to do.”“And what’s this hol

He stood on the balcony and watched the princess through the open window of the upper floor, changing into her night robe. She no longer lived in the Royal Palace with her father but now lived at the Othman’s estate with her husband, Niall Othman, as a dutiful wife.He was miserable without her, but he couldn’t imagine how miserable she must feel being married to a man she didn’t love or want to be with. Being united for the rest of her life to a man who placed little regard on her. He married her for her name and probably bore her the same contempt she bore him.Or maybe he loves her.That could also be true, but he didn’t want to accept that it was true.She looked beautiful even now, and he hoped Niall told her that every chance he got. Ace hopes Niall told her she was beautiful, precious, and the most priceless possession he ever had the privilege of attaining.She deserved to know that.Ace snapped out of his thoughts when he heard voices and footsteps coming from not so far away
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 87: Everything but happiness
A month laterA lot has changed for Ace in the kingdom. Since finding out about his family and lineage, King Xavier has welcomed him into the family with open arms. He also inducted him into the council of elders, a decision that brought confusion to the council at first because the council of elders was made up of men of noble backgrounds with power and title and wasn’t occupied by commoners. Xavier later told them who he was and how he was the heir to the land and fortune of House Don, as Lady Iris never married. He told them he was the son of Iris Don, changed his name to Lord Ace of the House Don, and awarded him his birthright. With his mother being Iris Don, questions rose about whose son he was, and Xavier asked if he wanted the truth about his father known. Ace wasn’t ready to do that. Learning about his father’s existence was one of the worst moments of his life. And if he could live his life without acknowledging his existence, he would gladly accept it. Xavier told him he u
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 86: The Mate He Lost
A short story about AceAfter the battle...Ace’s eyes opened in the room, and he did not know where he was. He looked up and saw Xavier towering above him with a cut on his face that should have healed a long time ago. However, for some strange reason, it hadn’t.He was in Wahala. The last memory he had was in Klean with Princess Xoe. She had asked him to mark her because her father wanted to marry her off to Niall Othman, the noble son. He saw the look on her face, which told him this wasn’t what she wanted. This was not what he wanted either, but what could he do? They were on a mission, and that had to come before anything else. Not being able to do anything else offended him, but that was the point. He had to accept his fate. There was no greater pain than being unable to be with the one you love, whom you were created for, but perhaps this was his wage for all the evil he had wrought in the world. Yes, he wanted to be a better man and worked towards that, but it still didn’t undo
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 85: The Painful truth
The news of Lady Lily’s death broke his heart. He knew her as a child because her father, Lord Crow of Shelled, was an ally to the crown. She was gentle and kind, and when he learnt Elliott had married her a few summers ago, it grieved him because she deserved better. She didn’t deserve this cruel fate; she didn’t deserve to end like this.“Then we shall put them to rest together.”They couldn’t send Lady Lily’s body back to Shelled; she was an Ainsworth, and so it was their duty to guide her to the life beyond. Abiding by the custom of the land, Xavier sent words to Lord Crow about the passing of his daughter.Then he sent for the priest and the ceremony leader to help put everything in place. With their help, they wrapped up what they could of Robb and organise his funeral on the pathway as well as Lady Lily. Just as Edward had made Mia stay back while he showed Xavier the room, Xavier made her stay back while they carried Robb’s body away for the last rites.After taking the rites
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 84: In the end
Sorcerer Zor’d levitated to where Edward stood in the cloud, leaving Elliott and Sir Marx behind. “I see you have joined the side of Doom. You are like me now.” He said it with a smile that wrinkled up the side of his face.“I am nothing like you,” Edward answered through gritted teeth.“We serve the same master now, and that means we have the same goals and objectives. We are the same,” he insists.“I will say it again. I am nothing like you.”“Deny all you want, but I know the truth. Those who had joined the side of Doom had always thought themselves better, seeking the greater good, but in the end, they all end up in the same place.” Zor’d told him, moving towards him in the sky.“I’ve been there. The quest that led me to Doom was that of power, and it has been the same for everyone. Doom takes power from the dead and gives it to their own, and in turn, their subjects reap souls for the rest of their lives.”“Stop talking,” Edward ordered, his hands balling into a fist.He scoffed,

“Men, together with me!” Xavier yelled. Seeing that over half of them had fallen on the battlefield already.Elliott had the advantage and had reduced them greatly with the help of his sorcerer. He had seen in the vision the great war, and this couldn’t have been it. He didn’t believe this was the battle in which he would fall. He didn’t want to accept it, yet there was no other option playing out before him. The enemies were on the verge of winning and trampling them under their feet.“They are circling us!” Sir Valerio shouted. “Back-to-back, everyone!” At his command, the men turned around so that their backs faced each other so that they could keep track of the enemy’s movement. It’s not like it would do much at this point.“Hold your ground!” Xavier said. With great command, the men did as he told them.The armies of Elliott launched at Xavier, growling and with yellow eyes. He caught one of the attackers and ripped his mouth open before tossing him away.“Hold your ground!” He ye
