The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate Mattel Darius
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 15: Mattel Darius .All in all, Regina grows nearly drunk with all the excitement of the market.By the time the two of them head back to their waiting carriage, Regina’s arms are laden with too many packages to count (she’d even purchased things for the lovely head maid, Maria, and her purse considerably lighter. Mattel even has to graciously carry a heavy portion of her bags, as they are too numerable for any one person to carry.Regina is so delighted, still simmering with unbridled energy, that she babbles happily away about all the trinkets she’d purchased and stalls she’d enjoyed, at Mattel, who merely listens with that half-smile on his lips.Until, suddenly, there’s a thunderous roar of hooves clopping on the floor from all sides.In seconds, their carriage comes to a screeching halt; immediately after, there’s a muffled groan and a thump from the front, where their coachmen ought to be.Regina freezes, eyes wide.Mattel’s expression h

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 16: unsavory glint .Shit.His bodyguard, Lionel is going to be very upset if he actually returns in a body bag.Mattel Darius looks up, just in time to see the unsavory glint of the moonlight off a descending blade, and grits his teeth--“Alpha!”Mattel’s eyes snap wide.As does the bandit’s, as he and the four remaining men around him freeze momentarily in shock.The pounding of hooves confirms to Mattel Darius that, yes, he hadn’t simply been hallucinating, and it is indeed the omega, Regina, riding back with a fire in her gaze that Mattel hasn’t ever seen before in those pretty doe eyes.But she doesn’t stop.Instead, she plows her horse right into the circle of bandits, and barrels straight into the one in particular that had been holding a blade to Mattel’s throat.And like the foolish, witless, naive - lovely - idiot that she is, Regina disembarks the horse and stumbles to her feet right beside Mattel. Right in the middle of four armed b

Alpha Easton’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 17: A King’s Luna.Regina cannot sleep.She stays awake, deep into the night - far later than she had ever stayed up before - staring blankly up at the ceiling.It had taken hours for the trembling to subside.She does not know what it is, that King Mattel Darius had controlled tonight.She does not think them mere shadows, because mere shadows did not have the kind of attributes that those- those things had.Because mere shadows did not summon a crushing, all-encompassing fear just by looking into their depths.Somehow, what King Mattel Darius had done- what he’d commanded- had been far, far darker than mere shadows.For from the depths of these shadows, had come surging a kind of darkness far blacker, and far more sinister, than anything Regina has ever known in this natural world.She had glanced just momentarily, into those moving shapes, and had found herself rooted to the spot, petrified with the kind of bone-deep, gut-churning terror that

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 18: moving forward .“Courage is not the absence of fear, they say. Rather, it is that which fears, but will walk through the darkest of it anyway.”Mattel taps an idle rhythm against the skin of Regina’s neck, beating in time with Regina’s pounding heart.“I guess I should hold some belief to your claim of me being your mate because a king’s Luna must possess a dragonheart, to be so brave as to walk through fear untouched.”Regina breathes.******NEXT DAY**Regina awakens to a room that is not her own.In the light of day - sunlight streaming through wide-open windows, bathing the entire floor in a warm glow - it’s almost unrecognizable.The entire room is submerged in the ghoulish, inky blackness of earlier - every inch of the four walls, the entirety of the floor, is bathed in that gruesome pitch darkness, gaping and incomprehensibly terrifying.Slowly, still caught in between consciousness and that hazy world of dreams, she sits up, the s

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 19: odd intimacy .“But I hope you realize, that Alpha Mattel is the reason I am alive today.”The maid’s eyes, wide and shocked, snap up to meet her gaze.“That sounds a tad generous,” a low voice shocks them both.Regina whirls around, hand clutched to her chest in a vain attempt to calm her pounding heart.She gapes at the sight of King Mattel, standing in her own bedroom, gazing at her with an amused little smile.Regina whirls around, hand clutched to her chest in a vain attempt to calm her pounding heart. She gapes at the sight of King Mattel, standing in her own bedroom, gazing at her with an amused little smile.“How did you- I did not hear your door opening.”“I do not need something as trivial as doors,” Mattel drawls, somehow managing to convey a sense of condescension in the word doors.Regina stares, uncomprehending.“When the shadows themselves are my domain, I do not need to walk down halls and open doors.”Behind her, Regina hea

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 20: same old-same old .She’s been sold off like a particularly undesirable cattle by her only relative, to the man they only whisper about cautiously in the safety of their own homes, as the nightmare specter in human form.She has had to leave everything - her home, her belongings, and the only family she has ever known and loved - for unfamiliar lands, in what she had long thought would be a terrifying lair fit for a monster.She has been waylaid by frightening bandits, nearly lost her life, and then witnessed other men lose theirs, in a display of the most terrifying power she has ever laid eyes upon.Regina finds that she can’t quite express any of this, and instead, clings to Mattel’s gloved hand with a desperation that likely makes little sense to the Alpha.Mattel, rather than face that heavy, searching gaze, looks instead at the pile of packages beside them, feeling his heart lift with every familiar item he sees in their midst.When M

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 21: sleep over .That night, Regina stays up late once more, organizing the truly astounding number of parcels she now has in her room.(Had she truly purchased this many things, she wonders.)She’s halfway through organizing some of the items on her vanity, when she hears it.That quiet, muffled whimper, this time all the louder for how acutely her sense are attuned to the sound.This time, she wastes little time in letting herself through the door (and realizing, then, that while she can lock her side, King Mattel cannot, and wondering what the implications are that the man had crafted a proverbial cage for himself to be locked into).When she sees the floors and walls, once more, covered in that endless blackness, she can’t help the fear that, again, rushes up inside of her like a dam had broken.But she cannot leave King Mattel as he is, in whatever pained hell he has trapped himself into-In the nights I spend in this monstrous form, I beg

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 22: birth of a star.Regina wakes first.This time, she awakens with the immediate and keen awareness of precisely where she is - that is to say, not her own bed, but the one she’d just shared with King Mattel.Alpha Mattel, who, when Regina looks to her right, is evidently still asleep.Regina can’t help but to stare.In sleep, the Alpha’s features seem impossibly young - with none of the heavy presence that bears on him like an ever-present weight when the king is awake.It’s something about his eyes, Regina thinks; those dark, fathomless depths that speak of years much, much beyond the king’s age of twenty nine.(And there’s a fascination here, too, of being permitted to observe such a feared man from up close - not unlike being permitted into a tiger’s den, when the ferocious tiger is declawed in its slumber.)“If you leaned in any closer, one would think it is my person people should worry about, rather than yours,” the low, gravelly timbe

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 Not without you
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 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 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 Must go on
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 A long way to go
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 93: A long way to go .Regina swallows the lump in her throat, leaning into Lionel as Castile rises from the picnic blanket to help her, the former moving aside to allow the latter to loop an arm around her back as well. Together, they make their way back toward the cottage, Hal and Damian following suit as the queen hangs her head low, fighting the urge to cry.“I’ll get them,” She whispers.Castile’s palm is warm against her back as he rubs circles into it, his alpha scent soothing. “We know, Regina.”“I’ll kill them.”“We know, Regina,” Damian says, then they guide her into the cottage, laying her gently on the bed as the queen fights back tears. “Get some rest, hold your daughter for a while. Remember why we’re here.”Sniffling quietly, Regina nods, watching as Hal enters the room with her baby, sitting down beside her before handing her gently over to her mother. Silence passes between them as she takes her, supporting the newborn’s head
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate Coming for you
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 92: Coming for you .The rest of the afternoon passes in relative quiet. Once they got on the road again, Regina spent the bulk of their time mesmerized by her baby. She’s fed her twice on the journey, half worried that they’d run out of formula at some point, but eventually, she sees their friend’s little cottage at a distant bend in the river, smoke pouring out of the chimney—they are going to be all right.By the time they pull up in front of the cottage, the sun is beginning to set, the light streaming in through the carriage window to illuminate her daughter’s face. A smile parts her lips as she reaches up a hand into the light, the little dust particles floating in it dancing around her tiny fingers as Regina’s heart melts.“There’s the sunset, darling,” She tells her, laughing softly to herself as the baby coos softly.On the other side of the carriage, she can hear snoring beneath her infant’s soft coos, and she looks over to find Lio

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 91: together we conquer .Tears prick again at her eyes, a couple of droplets making their way onto her cheeks before she wipes them away, kissing her daughter again before glancing across the carriage where Castile and Lionel are sound asleep in each other’s arms. Jealousy wells up in her chest as she watches, but she says nothing.They’re lucky to be together. She remembers how they got together. How in the beginning, her healer, Castile, and Mattel’s chief of Commander, Lionel had met and immediately fallen for one another at first sight.Only they hadn’t met until Mattel summoned Castile to court to treat an injury—one Regina had inadvertently given him when he’d been giving one of his training lessons. She almost laughs at the memory, but before she can get too lost in it, there’s the sound of Damian pulling on the reins.The other two in the carriage slowly stir awake. Curiosity floods both of their faces, then Castile turns around, pul
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate Whatever shall be
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 90: Whatever shall be .The simultaneous feeling of joy at being a father and the sorrow at the loss of his wife and baby is already exhausting. A part of him wants to start thinking of names, Sandra, Ari, hell, just calling her “Baby,” even? But he’s too upset to think. He can barely even focus.Down the hall, there’s shouting, and he forces himself to wipe his tears, rushing toward the cell door as he hears banging and shuffling. He gets there just in time to see guards dressed in the enemy’s colors and symbols carrying a limp Jana in their arms.“Jana!” he cries, but before he can worry about his friend, the omega is thrown into the cell with him. All he can do is watch as he collapses, unconscious, with a bruised eye and a split lip facing the ceiling, then he hears a throat clear, and suddenly Imari, now king of the north, is standing before him.The omega king is taller than he is, but not quite as broad. They’ve met before, but someh
