The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate

.

Chapter 44:

.

*MATTEL*

The clang of steel against steel echoed through the training grounds of the castle as King Mattel sparred with his trusted commander, Lionel.

Their swords flashed in the sunlight, each strike precise and calculated as they danced across the practice yard, their movements fluid and graceful despite the weight of the weapons they wielded.

As they circled each other, sweat glistening on their brow, Lionel spoke up, his voice calm and measured despite the intensity of their training.

"Your Majesty," he began, his eyes focused on the king's form as they exchanged blows, "we need to discuss the information Prince Damian has provided us."

Mattel's brow furrowed in concentration as he parried Lionel's attack, his mind already racing ahead to the implications of the prince's warning.

"Yes, I know," he replied, his voice tight with concern. "But what can we do? The kingdom is on the brink of war, and I fear we may be too late to preven

    The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 45: beginning of the end .Regina's steps echoed loudly in the empty corridors of the castle, her anger propelling her forward with a fierce determination. Every footfall reverberated through the silent halls, a testament to the turmoil raging within her as she approached the door to her and the king's chambers.Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions, each one vying for dominance as she struggled to make sense of the tumultuous thoughts that consumed her. Betrayal, anger, confusion, fear – they all mingled together in a tangled web of conflicting desires and uncertainties, threatening to overwhelm her with their intensity.With a trembling hand, Regina pushed open the heavy wooden door and stepped into the opulent chamber beyond. The air was heavy with the scent of sandalwood and roses, a stark contrast to the turmoil that churned within her. But she paid it no mind as she made her way to the nearby restroom, her steps quick and purposeful.O

    The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 47: a difficult decision .Regina sat in the back of the horse’s cart, straightening up as soon as they got close to the border dividing the human world and the werewolf territory.They were at Penn Station precisely. Regina looked at the driver and knew she had a difficult decision to make.She could just maybe, do away with the driver. After all she didn’t want to be seen, and the driver could be easily identified from by the same securities that she didn’t want to identify her, but Regina really didn’t want to do anything messy like, you know, killing people. She was an omega, not a butcher. So Regina made a few quick calculations in her head, about 13,000 different horses in the king’s kingdom, 14% of horse drivers were old men who didn’t have any other source of living and this guy had a fairly common name, adding in casual misunderstandings which would make all old drivers seem the same, maybe it might be more difficult to find this g

    The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 48: morning sickness and signs .*Regina* Being with Felix was…. nice. There was no other word for it.Regina’s mother and Felix had met when her mum was just 21, fresh out of college and still wet behind the ears. In her position as a junior accountant, her mother was required to travel to different countries to understand the way other banking systems worked and also work with the branches of Boroff & Sons in other countries. Felix was a midlevel banker at a competitor’s firm and their relationship had begun with a playful rivalry. Her mother had told her that being with Felix was good, Felix was unfailingly kind and considerate and her mum had felt her heart open up. But her mother knew she was a werewolf omega and she couldn’t trust Felix or anyone with that secret. So as her mother moved further up in the company, she took a position with less international travel and told Felix that “what was happening between wasn’t going to work

The building was made of a sparkled sphere embedded with a hundreds of flickering white lights, surrounded by a wheel of glass that glittered black at night.In the planetarium, while Regina and Felix stood, hands barely touching in awe at the beauty of the starry night, Regina mused sadly that it wasn’t necessarily the submissiveness or even the shame of being an omega that hurt the most, it was that she had lost the right to make choices. The moment she discovered what they had been planning in the palace. Heck, she was the one with the baby but apparently she would have no say in this.Betas and Nulls (those without any designation) could choose their lovers, find someone who met their constellation of requirements and settle down. And there’s something magi

But it worked.Tips poured in over phone and email, along with letters from other alphas and betas expressing condolences for his pain. Mattel had to open a spreadsheet to track all the data he got.On Friday, a black car with tinted windows drove up and stopped in front of Mattel’s house.“Hello,” the man introduced himself in a cool, unemotional voice, “I’m Agent Smith, an OCS representative sent to help assist you in this case”.

    The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 51: a fear to be caged .Regina flipped through the pages of the newspaper in growing horror. She had never slept with a teacher to get good grades. She hadn’t even known, until puberty that she was an omega. She didn’t know anything about werewolves existing until her mother told her. She grew up living in the human world until they went back to werewolf territories and her mother married her stinking step father.So what was this article talking about trying to diminish her reputation like this? “You believe this?” Regina asked him incredulously.Felix looked preternaturally calm, “It explains a lot Regina . Like how you’ve been wearing long sleeve shirts in this warm 18 degrees (Celsius) weather. Because you’re hiding your Korsakoff’s gland that marks you as a mated omega. And of course, you’ve been ill, bonding sickness. And when you kissed me, that made you sick too right? Is all of this just a game to you, Regina?” Felix asked quietly

    The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 52: never enough .Regina looked at the skyscrapers that dotted the sky, listening to the blares and beeps of traffic from her hotel in Montevido. Well, 5 star hotel, because Regina enjoyed the little things. Hotel Sofitel Montevido was a wonder and a beauty. Outside, the casual observer was overwhelmed by the slightly gothic architecture, the smooth white walls, and the innumerable painted glass windows. Sitting in this bed, with its Egyptian cotton high thread count sheets, and looking at the artistically slanted roof, Regina could almost imagine that the last month had been a nightmare; that she was still in the human world with her mum, back in the lap of luxury where she belonged. She could tell herself that she was in Uruguay for a business trip to bring some new clients into the firm. If she closed her eyes and tried, she could almost ignore the noxious scent of omega that wafted from her skin, overpowering the gallons of alpha spray

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

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

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.

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.

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 .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

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

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.
