The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 94: Must go on .It has been four weeks since Mattel and Jana were left behind at the castle, four weeks without his baby, without either of their mates. Without a doubt, it has been the worst four weeks of his life.At night when he’s trying to sleep, he calls to mind the image of his daughter’s face, the sound of Regina’s laugh. He envisions a world where they’d never been separated. In that world, he imagines that they’d gotten the chance to hold one another in the aftermath, that he’d been by his wife’s side through her recovery.In that world, they’re just a couple with a baby. They don’t have the pressure of kings and royalty. It’s beautiful and evergreen, but it can never be a reality, they can’t abandon the kingdom and leave it behind for Imari. It would be madness.The fight must go on.He and Jana are being marched back into the grand hall, Imari having summoned them somewhat randomly in the middle of the night. Whatever it is, it ca
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 95: Side by Side .In the days after Imari discovers Jana’s pregnancy, things become difficult for them. Jana is now chained to the all, and after several sleepless nights, the poor omega managing to find a comfortable position by some miracle.Mattel tries to help her out, but there’s only so much he can do when there’s iron digging into his skin as well. He makes a mental note to completely get rid of the dungeons when this is over, when he and Regina have defeated the evil that’s taken over their kingdom.God, he misses Regina. He misses his baby. His family. Thanks to their situation, he’s only had a few minutes with his daughter and it’s killing him. A part of him is starting to fear that by the time he sees her again, his child will be a woman, and he and Regina will both be old and gray. And that’s if he sees her again.Today, Imari had summoned him and Jana in for a meeting, and they’d managed to buy themselves some time for the rescue
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 96: Accidentally .When she wakes, Regina is feverish and covered in sweat. The moment she comes to awareness, she knows what’s happening, knows that her body has finally returned to normal, but it brings about a feeling of great sadness.She can’t fight when she’s in heat. She can’t do much of anything. A soft groan parts her lips as she throws her blankets back, her entire body growing hot--too hot.“F-Fuck,” She breathes, all the aches and pains in her body not enough to distract her from the tears that spring to her eyes. Six weeks have already passed since she left Mattel behind, and this heat will just put her back another several days if not another week entirely. “Shit.”From her little makeshift crib at her bedside, her baby whimpers as she comes awake. She wonders if she can scent her distress, her curiosity spiking as ehe rolls off of the bed to attend to her, lifting her into her arms. “Hey, my love, I’m so sorry,” She whispers, h
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 97: Not without you .The moment her heat is over, Regina rolls out of bed and tells the others to get ready. Apprehensive eyes look back at her, but she knows it’s time. Her body feels stronger than ever, her mind is sharp, and they’ve involved just enough people in the lower town in their plan that they’ve got the numbers to pull off an attack. At least enough to sneak into the dungeons and free their military.Despite their hesitance, Damian and the others get the horses prepared and weapons ready. Hal even prepares a sling for himself--he’ll be the one watching Regina’s baby while they are fighting.She hopes beyond all hope that today is a success, that she’ll get her family back together and they’ll never be separated again. Today, she will reunite her baby with her father, she will, and from here on out, they’ll only know peace.Still, her fingers shake as she dresses herself, doing up the laces of her leather waist coat, and looking
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate . Chapter 98: Announcements . “We promised we’d do it together. I may have still been out of it, but I kept my promise. She’s just been ‘baby,’ her entire life so far.”Mattel laughs as he kisses her again. “Oh, Regina,” he breathes, then he looks down, observing her body, the way they’re able to be pressed close like this for the first time in months. “I can hold you close again now. No obstructions.”Regina grins, looking like she wants to chastise Mattel for the smirk on his face, but a throat clears. She turns to find Jana and Lionel staring at them, the omega smirking knowingly--and oh, there’s another conversation they have to have now. No one but Mattel knows that Jana is pregnant. There’s something to look forward to. “Do I get a hello?” Jana asks, and Regina throws her arms around Jana, breathing in her friend’s sweet scent as Mattel pulls Lionel into an embrace, the two alphas holding tight to one another even as Mattel’s eyes never leav
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate. Chapter 1: beginning .Regina’s POV.I hated Alphas.Any sort of alpha that took a breath next to me was an enemy.I never liked any of them.Why should they have more rights than anyone who wasn’t of the same sub gender like them.I stared down at the wad of cash that I had managed to save with Gran Layla, she even had it wrapped up for me and given to me with a word of advice that she continuously drummed in my head.‘Leave this place ’How do I run away from my step - father?Is it even possible? I hid the money in my back pocket when I caught sight of the little house with a veranda at the edge of the pack’s border.It belonged to my ancestors who passed it on to the next generation. My mum was supposed to be the next owner but … And now it was in the hands of my step- father, unfortunately. My current legal guardian. Gary always acted perfectly normal in public; but we did not get along well at all.His gaze always lingered on me and his commen
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .CHAPTER 2: eyes realize . Regina’s POV.“I hate it here,” I said immediately staring at the large mansion, black glazing against the moonlight.Will I call it a mansion or a castle?I turned and my step father pushed me forward with a suspicious expression on his face. He gripped my shoulder and bent low as if he wanted to whisper to my ear.I froze, careful to not let him hear the sound of my heart beating fast, a sign of my fear to be left in the ridiculously huge place.“Listen.” He started, his voice low and serious. “When you are in there, you work hard. Do whatever he wants. Don’t question him. Don’t fight him. It’s for your own good. You think you are afraid of me, wait till you meet him. Don’t ever try to run away or get help. This can only end badly for you if you do.”I blinked as if in a daze unsure of whether I was hearing him right.“What are you—.”I stop right in my words feeling incoming presence. I looked sideways noticing the pala
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate. CHAPTER 3: first meeting .Mattel’s POV. "The kingdom bears the burden of a curse from the moon goddess, destined to claim the life of its heir before his thirtieth year unless he finds intimacy with his mate. His destined partner will be the object of his affection but will reciprocate with disdain, a being of low stature whom he longs to touch. She holds the cure to his affliction, yet remains forever out of reach. Only she can offer salvation to Mattel, the cursed one."“Stupid, stupid, stupid curse.” I muttered frustratedly to myself. I sigh remembering the prophecy that was given to my parents the day I was born. I’ll be 30 in a few months from now.I’ll be dead in a few months from now.As if it wasn’t enough that I was cursed.I also didn’t have an heir. I can’t have an heir by any random person whether it be a royal or a peasant, it has to be with my fated mate. Only she had to bear my child because it’s only her that I have the luxury of
