The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 40: Saved by the Beta
~Amara~We stood before Alpha Adrik, waiting for him to tell us why he had summoned us. We’d been here for close to thirty minutes, and the most thing he had said was a grunt when he saw Chad. Other than that, we’ve just been kept standing without a reason; or so I thought.While there, I shifted from one foot to the other nervously, and my palms got slick with sweat. My mind went to different reasons why he could have called us in, and left us standing without any comment. Chad on the other hand, looked so calm and collected that I wondered how he was able to do that, especially with the fact that the omega almost caught us kissing if she didn’t see it before we even noticed her presence.What if she had told Alpha Adrik about it?I couldn’t hold it in anymore so I decided to go in for it. I took a deep breath and looked at Alpha Adrik. “Alpha, do you need anything from me?”I intentionally omitted Chad because there was no way that I could refer to us as “we” without sounding suspic

~Lucian~“Elsie said that you wanted to see me?”The curly head standing before me nodded, her curls bobbing in tune with the speed of her nod. I dropped the document that I was perusing and faced her, lifting my eyebrows when she kept mute.“Well? If you have nothing to say then get out. I have important matters of the Pack to attend to”Fear was evident in her eyes and I wondered why she was afraid. I know that I have a reputation for being heartless most of the time, but recently, that reputation has left me. I hadn’t even found myself torturing people for fun just the way I used to like. She should be grateful that she met me in my redemptive stage. Maybe if she had met me when I was the ruthless Alpha King, then she would have run away; just like Amara did.Amara. Just the thought of her name sent me spiraling again. At this point, I’d already resigned to the fact that she would always have that effect on me, whether I liked it or not. Shortly after my last conversation with Mar

~Lucian~“You’re really going to the Hollow Ball?”I could understand why Marcus was finding it hard to believe that I wanted to attend the Ball, especially with what happened the last time that I was in Adrik’s pack. He was worried that I would lose my temper again and kill someone because of my infuriation.“Yes, Marcus. For the millionth time, I will go to the Hollow Ball. Do you have any other questions apart from that?”“Yes. Knowing you, I can tell that you do not really have a reason to go to that Ball. You can decide not to go and no one will question your authority. Unless it’s because of her. ”I gave him a side glance, showing indifference to what he said but Marcus was no fool. He had fully interpreted my actions and knew why I wanted to do what I was about to do.“It’s fine, Lucian. I will do even more than that for Lyra if worse comes to worst. I’m glad that you’ve finally accepted that she’s your one true love and also the mother of your pup. But isn’t this going to cau

~Amara~As the day of the Ball drew near, preparations in the pack became more intense. For some days, both Chad, Katherine, and Adrik had not bugged me. I was fine with the others, but I was starting to miss Chad. Sometimes I tell myself that I could have just forgiven him and moved on with our lives since it was crystal clear that he didn’t do what he did willingly. For some time now, the kitchen has been my best friend, because Lydia was always there to talk to me when I needed her. and it also saved me from Katherine’s impromptu visits to my room. Now I sat there again, craving some fresh-from-the-oven pancakes that night and musing over how much I missed Chad.“I told you to forgive him then but your stubbornness didn’t let you. Now he doesn’t want to come back to you and you won’t let me rest. Don’t you know where to find him?” Lydia scolded me after I cried that I wanted Chad back for the millionth time.Honestly, I’ve become worse over the past weeks; always being overly dram

~Amara~I practically saw my death in three seconds. I saw how Adrik was going to execute me by either cutting my head off or tearing my heart out and then possibly burning my body after. Shivers coursed through my body and I rubbed my arm, suddenly feeling cold.Chad looked a little bit unbothered after his initial shock like there was nothing to worry about. Oh, that’s right. He had always wanted to bring our relationship in public and even before Alpha Adrik so I guess this makes it easier for him to do.Moving with my Last resort, I fell on my knees before Adrik and held his leg, mumbling with tears for him to forgive me for being so close to his beta. I couldn’t think about anything so deep that would make me or Chad safe but I just knew that I had to do what I had to do. Chad just stood there, not even making any move to say something or beg his alpha with me. Maybe he really wanted to die already and didn’t care what happened. He probably had more chances at being freed by the

~Amara~Adrik was already getting impatient that I hadn’t been sent up to his chambers. I was huddled up in my room, waiting for Chad who had promised to come back for me in no time. I didn’t know how that was supposed to help with Adrik’s unhealthy fixation with me, but he said something about meeting Katherine for something.Two guards have already been to my room to remind me that Alpha Adrik still awaits my presence. I knew it was only a matter of time before they resorted to dragging me to his chambers.It’s been more than thirty minutes and Chad hasn’t shown up. I was getting impatient as well because I didn’t want Alpha Adrik to think that I was flaunting his orders. I stood up and paced around my room, running to the door at every slight footstep. About ten minutes later, a knock sounded on my door.I dreaded opening it because the probability of it being one of Adrik’s guards was high. They were probably here to drag me to him now. I went to the door and stood, wondering if I

~Amara~By the time I was out of the higher–ups building, Chad was already waiting for me behind the training ground. That area was slowly turning into our place of tryst. Immediately I saw him, I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him, he hugged me back, tighter and swung me around.“Oh, goodness, Chad. Be careful. You seem to have forgotten that I am pregnant” I said in between giggles.He finally dropped me and my eyes kept on turning for some time before I adjusted. I wasn’t as strong as I used to be so very little things make me unsettled and I take a little time to adjust. We heard some noises, probably from omegas who were retiring for the night and moved away from the light to a corner where it was a bit darker.“How did it go? Did it work?” Chad asked.I nodded. “Like magic. Oh, it’s magic so it worked perfectly well. All it took for him to lay like a log of wood was ten seconds. I was so surprised. Katherine would have loved you so much for her to give you such medicine.

~Amara~The next morning, I couldn’t stop myself from grinning from ear to ear. The memories of the heated moment between Chad and I got me blushing pink like a teenager who just got her first kiss from the boy who she’s been crushing on.The moment flashed before my eyes again and I found myself giggling this time around, making Lydia stare at me like I had gone crazy. She made a small sound in her throat and went back to cutting the potatoes that she planned to use for breakfast. I knew that she was holding back her curiosity because she didn’t want to seem inquisitive but she would break character sooner or later. I intentionally decided not to tell her anything like I would have.This time around, I giggled and brought a hand to my lips. Lydia officially couldn’t take it anymore. She dropped the knife in her hand on the table, put one hand on her waist, and faced me squarely.“Okay. Out with it.”“Out with what?” I asked, looking as innocent as I could.She pointed a finger at me.

~Lucian~I watched as Amara walked away, her back stiff, her head held high. But I knew…I knew that she was hurting. And I had let it happen. I could have run after her, given her reassurance that her fears were invalid, and kissed away the sadness on her face.But I helplessly watched her walk away, visibly hurt from my actions. I hadn’t realized how much I’d hurt her, and no, I’m not trying to make excuses for my shortcomings. Granted, Maya’s arrival had swayed me for a moment, but that doesn’t mean that I’m considering starting up anything with Maya.All I wanted was for her to get better, and for me to get the closure that I’ve so desperately wanted all these years. No matter what, Maya was a woman that I once loved, and a woman who had died carrying my baby…or so I thought.Right now, though, she was starting to cross her boundaries by spilling nonsense to Amara. And now I have to try harder to make amends for the damages that se might have caused by her words.“Lucian,” Maya cal
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 86: No denials
~Amara~A week.It had been an entire week since Lucian’s first love had come back from the dead, and in that time, Lucian had become a ghost in my life.If he wasn’t tending to Maya’s every need, he was listening to her endless sob story or fawning over her like some love-struck fool. He had barely looked at me, barely spoken to me. And worst of all, he hadn’t even checked to see how I was doing.Even after I pleaded with him to stay with me that night. Even after I told him that I wasn’t feeling good because of the baby; he still went ahead to be with her. He never even came back the next day, or the day after, to check up on me and see how I was faring.I placed a hand on my stomach, feeling the faint stir of life within me. Did he forget? Did he forget that I was carrying his child? That we were supposed to have left this place days ago to prepare for the birth of our child? Or had Maya’s return erased everything we had planned all this while?I clenched my fists. No. Something wa
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 85: The distance
~Amara~I paced back and forth across the room, my mind racing with too many thoughts, none of them making any sense. My heart pounded against my ribs, restless, uncertain.Lucian should have been here by now. But instead, he was with her. No, I wasn’t trying to be mean, or inconsiderate, but this all felt wrong to me somehow. None of what had just happened sat right with me. I felt like Lucian and I were about to lose the connection that we had just built.I ran a shaky hand through my hair and exhaled. I didn’t want to feel like this. I didn’t want to be jealous, or insecure, or whatever this strange feeling was twisting inside me. But how could I not?Lucian had told me; he had sworn that his first mate was murdered. That he saw her lifeless body with his own eyes. And yet, the woman who collapsed into his arms, the woman who had called out his name, was the very same mate he had believed dead.How was that even possible?I sat on the bed, tapping my fingers against my knee. But a
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 84: Once dead…
~Lucian~No way.I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.My body turned rigid, my breath caught in my throat, and for a moment, my mind refused to process what was right in front of me. Was it because I’d spoken about her the other day? Was that why her ghost decided to visit me one last time?I glanced over at Amara, trying to know if she could also see the woman in front of us. The expression in her face said that she could see the figure. Same with Selene and the other werewolves.They were all staring suspiciously at the woman, their weapons drawn. All it would take was a command from Selene and they would strike. I should say something, but I was too dumbfounded, trying to place the pieces of the puzzle in my head.She stood there looking as confused as a newborn cat whose mother was taken away. Her body swayed slightly, as if the wind alone could knock her over. Her clothes were torn, hanging off her like rags. Dirt and dried blood smeared her once beautiful skin, and her hair wa
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 83: Not okay.
~Amara~Everything finally felt okay.For the first time in what felt like forever, there was no tension between Lucian and me. No anger, no lingering hurt. Just peace.I had forgiven him; not just in words, but in my heart. And because of that, I was finally able to look forward to the future we had ahead. A future I was now willing to share with him in his kingdom, where our child would be born.It had taken time to get here, to move past the betrayal, the heartbreak, and all the chaos that had come with it. But Lucian had fought for me. He had proved himself over and over, and I had finally allowed myself to believe in him again.The decision hadn’t been an easy one. The rogue lands had become a kind of refuge for me, a place where I had healed in ways I never thought possible. And Selene had become someone I deeply admired. She had opened my eyes to a different side of the world. To a different kind of strength.Two days from now, Lucian and I will leave. But tonight, we were cele
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 82: A second chance
~Amara~That night, I couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t just because my baby decided that midnight was the perfect time for him to go on a rollercoaster, but because of what Lucian had told me.It would have hurt so much holding so much pain inside, and not having anyone to share it with. I couldn’t imagine what it had done to him, and how much it must have mandated him to change.All these years, I’d misunderstood him, and I never let him try to explain himself. I started to feel a little guilty, but I quickly schooled myself. It wasn’t really my fault if I’d misunderstood him all this time. He could have explained things to me sooner if he trusted me enough to handle his secrets.“I think it’s time to forgive your father, little wolf,” I murmured, stroking my belly. “What do you think? Do you think I should keep up with this grudge? Or should we just let everything go?”I received double kicks, which I took as a sign of affirmation from the little life inside of me. A smile lit up my face,
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 81: The Grievous Truth
~Amara~ I waited with expectation, waited for him to recollect himself and tell me about this thing that had happened long ago which I was not aware of. It wasn’t just because I wanted to hear it, it was because of the way his face contorted with grief as he lowered his head, almost as if he was fighting back tears. He couldn’t be possibly fighting back tears. Alpha kin Lucian never cries. If he was about to cry, then this event must have hurt him tremendously. I found my heart reaching out to him, making me realizes that the feelings which I thought was buried has never been buried. I cared about this man, and I still care about him. I was hurt seeing him hurting like this. “Lucian,” I called softly, my hands itching to comfort him, “Talk to me please.” He raised his head and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his hands clasped tightly together. His eyes, usually so fierce, looked haunted. “I’ve never told you about my first mate.” The mention of another woman, hi
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 80: Why are you still here?
~Lucian~ Despite my initial mistrust, Selen’s Pack had become a surprising comfort to me. I found myself being drawn to their unrestrained way of life. They were free, untethered, untamed, and fiercely independent. At first, I’d thought that they were not to be trusted. That they were threats to the kingdom and the Packs around them. But the more time I spent with them, the more I’d come to understand them. The rogue wolves were an enigma. They were untamed and unpredictable, but they carried a raw sense of friendship and closeness that reminded me of something that my kingdom had long lost. Their laughter echoed in the woods, their disputes were resolved without formality, and their freedom was intoxicating to witness. “They could thrive under my protection,” I said to Selene, standing by the edge of the clearing where a few of the rogues were sparring. “With a home in my territory, they’d have safety, stability. They wouldn’t need to live like rogues.” All day, I’d been trying
The Alpha's Runaway Breeder Chapter 79: You’ll wait forever
~Amara~A week after, I still hadn’t gotten over the thought of what had happened. Selene had been protective, almost like a mother. Always fussing about my baby, and what I should or should not do in order to have a safe delivery.According to her, it was only a matter of weeks before my baby would be born. The news had come gladly to Lucian, who on many occasions had tried to talk to me. But I was never in the mood to listen to him.Somehow, I blamed him for all the misfortune that had happened in my life. I blamed him for the death of every single person who had meant a lot to me. I always told myself that if only he had treated me well, and seen that I was his fated mate…if he had loved me the way that I loved him, maybe I wouldn’t be in this mess right now.But who was I deceiving? We all knew that my mother who allowed my stepfather to sell me out for money was the cause. She didn’t fight for me because she didn’t want to be on the bad side of her husband.I sat beneath an old s
