The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate wedding preparations
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 77: wedding preparations .By the time the three of them’s conversation is over, it is nearing midnight, and Regina is quite exhausted. She just barely manages to stumble to her room, where she heads immediately for one trunk in particular.After that, all Regina has the energy to do, is to change into her nightgown and dig up her sleeping mask from the bottom of her trunk.She glances at the closed door separating her and Mattel’s bedroom with a bitten lip.** Mattel is stretched along his bed, a book open in his lap, when he hears the separating door open.He looks up, and watches as it swings slowly, carefully, slender fingers visible where they’re wrapped around the edge of the door. And then, Regina’s eyes, peering at him from behind the door, before her shoulders, and half her torso comes into view.Regina stands in the doorway without moving further inside, wearing an expression so hesitant - so unsure - that it nearly breaks Mattel’

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 78: fight of feelings .By morning’s time, the official declaration has been spread: that King Mattel and his newly found mate, Regina are to be aligned in a marriage with Regina becoming the new Luna and Queen of the Western kingdom. All such official news and ceremony had originally been postponed in Regina’s runaway , until the she could arrive; said arrival, in turn, had been delayed because Mattel had wasted time to find her and then finally she was brought back. Which led to princess Jana and Prince Damian coming too.But now that Regina have arrived, and she has decided to stay, it is, apparently, enough for King Mattel to move forward with all the grand fanfare that would ordinarily accompany such a union. Given that Jana and Damian’s military - and, therefore, political - strength is nearly peerless in all the land, King Mattel is only thrilled to continue the original plans. And then Princess Jana and Prince Damian had only permit

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 79: paradox of atmospheres .The next several days pass in an odd, suspended paradox of atmospheres.There is Jana, who is very visibly attempting not to murder the Alpha King Mattel in cold blood. As it is, she becomes almost terrifyingly charming in the days to follow, and it is not without a small cluster of servants and admirers that she is tailed by, at all times. Nearly the entire castle, it seems, has fallen irrevocably in love with the wealthy princess from the East-lands, and Jana wields her beauty and charisma like a weapon.Each time she and King Mattel come within the vicinity of one another, her expression turns into something chillingly beautiful, and in turn, Mattel’s lips begin to stretch into wider and wider smiles.Regina spends the time catching up with both Jana and Damien before they leave, though not without the marked edge of tension that still lingers between she and Jana. But the thing about people who have come to be

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 80: propriety be damned.Mattel is in the middle of conversing with a nobleman from one of his kingdom’s prominent families, when abruptly, the man pauses in his tale. He turns, and is---- spellbound.Regina stands before him, a figure sublime in the pale blue fabric and golden threads she wears, cheeks rosy as she bites her lower lip with a bashfulness that makes something in Mattel’s chest heave. Under the glittering, dazzling lights of the crystal chandeliers, surrounded by a room full of extravagant nobles dressed in silks and laden with enough diamonds to fund several wars, Regina - who wears no jewels but for the small, barely visible diamonds on her ears - somehow shines brighter than any gem or star Mattel has ever seen. Mattel’s eyes are unable to tear away from the vision that Regina is, like a midsummer’s dream come to life by some hazy miracle.Regina shifts, hand nervously tracing the embroidery along her side. She seems entir

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 81: enemies strike again .From across the dancefloor, Jana pauses with a flute of champagne halfway to her lips. Having grown tired after a set of several songs, she and Damian had retired to the sidelines, seeking to mingle and enjoy the refreshments offered at the ball. She looks to the dancefloor, where she sees Regina be dipped dramatically down by her intended, a shriek of giddy laughter escaping her lips, a joy so potent written on her features that it’s almost painful to watch.She hasn’t heard such- happiness from either one of them. Not so unrestrained, and loud.Damian places a gentle hand on her lower back, grounding her, and Jana’s eyes burn. “They look happy, she is happy,” Damian murmurs in her ear, and with a sigh, Jana leans back against his chest. Together, the two of them watch their old time friend with his mate dance in the middle of the crowd, the effervescent joy radiating from his features making them glow brighter

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 82: Devil in pink .“And?” Mattel prompts, sweeping into the room with a stormy expression that borders on fury. “What have you gleaned from the vermin’s mind?”Damian looks up. “Hired from the southern’s territory, though not by them directly. That is not to say, that it could not have been them orchestrating it from behind, without having gotten theirselves visibly involved.”Mattel drops into the seat across from him.“It seems significant,” Damian continues, “That you and your kingdom have had such pervading issues, despite my own kingdom not having had any such attempts.”Moreover, it is not a well hidden secret that there had been envoys traveling from the eastern kingdom to the western kingdom ; it would have been easily accessible information to expect that Prince Damian would be present in the castle.The targets had remained, nonetheless, Lord Aloha King Mattel and his intended who he had just gotten back.But whatever said significa

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 83: Rapidly darkening horizons .Princess Jana is not a woman to be trifled with.Particularly so when she is on a mission to find the exact shade of ivory.As it were, even Regina and Mattel’s daily - private - reading sessions in the orchard have been rendered no longer sacred, for the blazing storm that is Jana, planning a wedding, comes upon them in full force out in the open. As of late, it has begun to take Mattel more and more of his tenuous self control to avoid accidentally unleashing his shadows in unconscious self-defense, each time he sees the determined and steely glint in Jana’s eyes as she bears down upon them.Jana descends on them with fire in her eyes and color swatches in her hands. “You two,” She announces, startling Regina from where she’d been napping peacefully on the grass, her head cushioned in Mattel’s lap. Mattel frowns. With Regina’s growing nightmares, the daytime naps had been one of the few instances in which s

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 84: Impending tirade .The night before their wedding day, the Eastern Kingdom throws the grandest, most lavish celebration of all: a masquerade ball. Regina had never been to one, before.In where she had grown up, everything was about preeminence in association with their famed bloodline; anything that would at all conceal their identities would be diametrically opposed to what her mother and her step father deemed as the one and only importance of such events. But Mattel had read to Regina a book, once, about a masked ball, and since then, she has been fascinated with the idea.(And what is Mattel to do, but to make the arrangements, when he catches Regina re-reading the passage on the masquerade with wide eyes?)For the first time in a long time, however, Regina enters the grand ballroom alone, as Mattel had been called away to briefly attend to some matters. It makes her strangely nervous, as though attending her first ball in the Weste

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 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
