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
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 4: believe me.Regina’s POV.“But I’m your mate!” I whispered, my emotions going over the border as the tears piling at the side of my eyes finally fall through.I couldn’t believe his nonchalance. His attitude was making me to hurt so bad and my wolf was already whimpering in pain.My mate was doesn’t want to acknowledge our mating bond?But I thought every alpha...Alpha Mattel slowly walked back to me.At that moment, I feared for my life and the beating of my heart paces up, afraid of what would be my fate if I managed to anger him...His fully black pupils were slowly turning into a shade of onyx. I couldn’t tell which color.He looked very upset with the choice of words that I had blurted out to him.I quickly lowered my gaze to the ground knowing this was the moment I was going to die.“You think I’m your mate?” He asked lowly, releasing a light chuckle. “I have heard that sentence quite a lot from many other females so it triggers a lo
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 5: might be a realization .“Do you believe me now? That I’m your mate?.” I whispered allowing a stray tear to fall down my eye.“Do you really think that I would readily believe you to be my mate?.” He asks, his voice low as it sends chills down my spine.“B-But you just—.”“Maria!.”He called out a name and the old woman who had been watching since came forward and bowed before him a total 90 degree.“You can take her. Add her to your entourage.” He says finally removing his hand from my face as he lifts himself up to stand.“Yes your honor.” She replies still not lifting her face up.His hand which had been serving me warmth was gone and that made me cold.“No! Wait.” I argue.Abruptly, and not wanting him to leave, I grab his hand pulling him back to face me and his eyes widen out of shock not expecting me to do that.“What more proof do you need again?!” I asserted out of confidence. “You did this!.” I let go of his hand to point at my now
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 6: impatient thirst for bloodlust.Prince Damian has just donned his mask, prepared to head to the ballroom, when his commander, Storm appears in the doorway. He’s wearing a grim, if mildly exasperated expression, eyes solemn and glinting like steel in the moonlight. “The festivities may have to wait, just a moment,” Storm says lightly, though his cheerful tone still manages to belie a dark edge.Prince Damian stills.“I’m afraid there’s a matter with an...uninvited guest.”The two of them share a hint of a frigid smile.When Prince Damian arrives at the cold, dank holding cells underneath the castle - seldom used, and the existence of which is very well hidden from most of the unsuspecting inhabitants of the palace - he finds a man bruised and bloody and shackled to the wall in the first cell.Damian gazes at him through bored, lidded eyes. “I’m afraid you’ve caught us at a bad time,” he says. “We’re a little busy to entertain you the way su
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 7: an impossible remedy .REGINA’s POV“Wake up, wake up, wake up.”A voice keeps on chanting drifting into my sleep.I groan wanting the noise to go away as I roll on to the other side.“Come on, my child, you can’t sleep the whole day. There are things to do.”My eyebrows furrowed as those words resounded in my head.Things to do?Wait, who owns that voice?And ....I snuggled deeper on the pillow.Why is it so soft?And why hasn’t he come to wake me up yet?And with that, I suddenly became aware of my surroundings as I opened my eyes, nothing coming to my head as I tried to think of where I could.“My child ?.”I swiftly turned sideways to see an elderly woman standing surprisingly upright next to the side of the bed I was in.“Hii ?.” I replied confused managing to raise my hand up to wave a little.I take a look around the large room recalling why I was here in the first place.“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten ..”“No I haven’t.” I clenched
