The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 33
Elara's POVHe raised an eyebrow in challenge. "Oh, are you on? Don't underestimate the culinary prowess of a seasoned traveller, Elara."We spent the next few minutes in a lighthearted debate about our respective cooking skills, the tension from earlier dissipating with each playful jab. Finally, with a comfortable silence settling around us, I felt the question burning a hole in my tongue."So," I began cautiously, "tell me about your travels. Where have you been, what have you seen?"Rufus hesitated for a moment, then leaned back against the wall. "It's been a long journey," he said, his voice thoughtful. "I've travelled across mountains, through scorching deserts, and even spent some time exploring the frozen north."My eyes widened. "The frozen north? That sounds... harsh.""It is," he admitted, a flicker of a smile playing on his lips. "But it's also home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes you'll ever see. The aurora borealis, shimmering across the night sky, is a sight

Rayel's POV"Good morning Alpha," the young maid standing outside my room blushed prettily as she curtsied when I opened the door that morning after hearing a knock. It was barely five am in the morning and I had stumbled to the door, straight out of bed and still half asleep. Thinking it was Hazel, I opened the door and the sight that I beheld immediately caused the drowsiness I felt at that moment to disappear and my stomach to curdle. “"And you are?" I asked her, slightly irritated because she was the one who woke me up. I wondered where the guards who were supposed to stand by my door were, but they were nowhere to be found. “I’m Rose Damien,” the young maid said.The name rang a bell, but I could not recall where I had heard it before. I stared at her before asking what she wanted. I watched as her eyes dipped to my bare stomach and she licked her lips. "The Luna sent me to check up on you, Your Majesty," she said seductively, and that's when I realized she was the one Hazel m

Rayel's POVAfter putting on my clothes, I turned to the wolves with me. "Who the hell was supposed to be on patrol this morning?" I growled out. They all looked at each other, no one saying a word. I growled threateningly and they spoke up."It was supposed to be Ryan and Dante. But they are nowhere to be found."I nodded, still thinking about the wolf I had seen. Was it dead? Or simply wounded enough to retreat? The uncertainty gnawed at me."Split up!" I barked, urgency lacing my voice. "Thorne, take half the patrol east. Kai, you head west. Boris, stay with me. We'll check the north side."Despite the chaos swirling within me, years of training kicked in. Locating the source of the threat, understanding its nature, was paramount. My gaze swept over the assembled wolves, their faces etched with concern mirroring my own."Be vigilant," I commanded, my voice resonating with a leader's authority. "Check every nook and cranny. We don't know what we're dealing with."With a flurry of

~ Rayel’s POVI was still in daze as I stared at Hazel. I was jolted back to the present when everyone including Boris applauded Hazel for taking down the intruder by herself. That was when I realized that her clothes had been torn during the fight and were revealing some parts of her body. The state of her clothes were worse as the crisp white blouse she had worn that morning was now a tattered mess, ripped across one shoulder and exposing a sliver of creamy skin. Her jeans, too, were worse for wear, a tear snagged just above the knee.I quickly took off my shirt and draped it over her. My shirt felt impossibly thin against her bare skin, but it was the only barrier I could offer against the chill and the curious eyes in the room and as I was about to lead her back to her room, she looked back and then ordered her maids to take Rose to the pack clinic for proper treatment.“Take the intruder away and lock him up!” I ordered Boris before walking away with Hazel. I carefully lifted her

~ Rayel’s POVHazel and I were still kissing so passionately and just as my hand brushed against the small of her back, a jarring knock on the door shattered the world we'd built. I was angry at whoever was at the door for coming at that moment. I glanced at the door, the urge to rip it open and punished whoever was there. I reluctantly moved away from Hazel and I could see her laughing at my reaction. Her playful jab, though laced with disappointment, snapped me out of my possessive haze. Shame washed over me. My anger had been entirely self-serving, fueled by the selfish desire to continue but then I ignored her and yelled at the person by the door asking what he or she wanted.“It’s Patricia, Your majesty,” “And what did…” Hazel shut me up with a kiss, telling me that Patricia was her maid and she was probably by the door to inform her about Rose’s well being. I watched as she walked back to her wardrobe and got changed before walking towards the door. She ordered the young maid

~Elara’s POVRufus and I enjoyed the rest of the day. We cruised through the rest of the day with me playing games and Rufus glued to his phone, likely chatting away. I must have gotten sucked in because the next thing I knew, my stomach let out a loud groan and that was when I realized it was already dark.Rufus burst out laughing at my tummy's protest. He finally looked up from his phone and said with a grin, "Alright, alright, dinner time for you and Dolph! Seems someone got too engrossed in their games."“Oh, I almost forgot! What do you think of the name I picked for the little one?" He asked as he approached me.“I like the name, Rufus,” I replied to him with a smile.His smile widened. "That's great! Have any other ideas bouncing around in that head of yours?"“Not yet,” I replied to him.“And when will that be?” He asked, pouting his mouth.“Very soon,” I replied to him, smiling at his cute reaction. “But you have to be quick about it, I want to be the first one to call the l

~ Rufus’s POVI smiled as I watched Elara go into the kitchen to wash the plate. I was still seated on the chair and then thought about my feelings for her. Ever since I saved Elara in the forest, I enjoyed her company more and more and always wanted to protect her. At first all I had in mind was to protect her but then I gradually felt something for her. It was subtle at first, a lingering glance a moment too long, a warmth spreading in my chest at her laugh. I'd find myself anticipating her presence, my heart skipping a beat when I saw the flash of her auburn hair through the trees. Conversations that once flowed easily became laced with nervous stammers, my mind a tangled mess as I tried to decipher these newfound feelings.I initially thought that it was a pity, seeing a young lady in the forest, and to make it worse, she was also pregnant. My heart sank as I spotted the figure huddled beneath the sprawling oak. A young lady was unconscious under the gnarled trunk. Even from a dis

~ Rufus’s POVFear battled with a strange sense of anticipation. I wondered if Dolph was actually right. “What if this power wasn't a monster to be controlled, but something incredible waiting to be explored?” I took a deep breath, trying to center myself. Closing my eyes, I focused on the energy, willing it to flow instead of restricting it.Suddenly, the world seemed to sharpen. Sounds became clearer, colors more vibrant. It was like a filter had been lifted, revealing a hidden layer of reality. Then, something even more bizarre happened. I reached out my hand towards a rusty old swing set that stood abandoned at the edge of our yard. As I concentrated, a barely perceptible ripple emanated from my hand, traveling towards the swing set. To my utter astonishment, the swing set began to creak and groan, slowly lifting itself off the ground.My eyes flew open, wide with shock. Dolph stood beside me, his jaw slack with awe. We stared, speechless, as the swing set hovered in mid-air for

~ Rayel’s POVPanic clawed at me as Elara’s mental link flickered, replaced by a terrifying image,a dark cave.“She is in danger!” I yelled out. Every ounce of self-preservation melted away, replaced by an urge to protect her.The fragmented images Elara had sent were enough. Mountains, a cave entrance. It wasn't much, but it was all I had. Barking orders to Boris, I rallied my most trusted warriors. We rode with a desperate urgency, the rising sun painting the sky a bloody red that mirrored the turmoil within me.Hours bled into one another as we traversed treacherous terrain. Doubt gnawed at the edges of my determination. Had I reached in time? Then, a flicker of hope. A plume of smoke rising from a clearing in the distance.I felt energetic, so I urged my men forward. The scene that greeted me was a tableau of chaos. Elara, battered and bruised, was surrounded by Darach's men. Her defiance, even in her weakened state, ignited a fury within me hotter than any fire.Before I coul

~ Elara’s POVThe trek with Rufus towards my father's supposed location had been arduous. Days blurred into nights, the dense canopy offering scant sunlight. Rufus remained by my side, my keen senses constantly on alert. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the trees thinned, revealing a desolate mountain range.A shiver ran down my spine as I spotted a dark, gaping maw nestled at the base of the highest peak. It couldn't be. The cave. The one from my connection with my father.Fear warred with desperation. Taking a deep breath, I linked with my father once more. This time, raw, agonizing screams reached me.“ My father, It was him,” I told Rufus.Heart pounding a frantic tattoo against my ribs, I scrambled down the rocky slope, Rufus hot on my heels. The stench of damp earth and something metallic filled the air as we reached the cave entrance. A low growl rumbled from within, sending shivers down my spine.Ignoring the fear, I pushed past the ragged curtain concealing the entra

~ Rayel’s POV"What?!" The scream ripped from my throat, a guttural roar of fury. Ignoring the guards and the stunned look on Hazel's face, I lunged at Dolph. He may have been chained, but that wouldn't stop me. My fist connected with his jaw again, a satisfying blow that carried the weight of my wrath."How dare you!" My voice was a low growl, laced with a dangerous edge. "They're not pawns in your twisted games! You lay a single finger on them, and you'll regret the day you were born!""Rayel!" Hazel cried, her voice thick with hurt and betrayal. Clearly, the sight of me attacking her lover had shaken her.But before I could even process her reaction, she did something that sent a fresh wave of shock through me. Hazel, the woman I thought I knew, knelt beside the now-wincing Dolph and began to help him up. Her touch, gentle and concerned, was a stark contrast to the coldness she had shown me earlier. "Is Elara still alive?" Her voice, laced with a desperate urgency, was directed at
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 126
~ Rayel’s POVPushing myself off the bed, a newfound determination coursed through me. The anger might still simmer beneath the surface, but it was overshadowed by a fierce longing for Elara and my son. I wouldn't give up. I would find Elara and my son, no matter what it took.Just then, the door creaked open. It was Boris. Relief washed over me, maybe he had news about the retrieval team."Your Majesty," he announced, his voice a welcome sound in the tense silence. "I've done as you ordered. The guards are heading towards Alpha Dolph’s pack as we speak."I nodded curtly, a flicker of appreciation for his swiftness. But before Boris could launch into whatever he was about to say, I cut him off. Hazel's name was a raw nerve, and I couldn't bear to hear it right now. "Don't mention her," I rasped, my voice tight. "Just find Elara's stepfather. I need to talk to him."Boris's brow furrowed in confusion. "Elara's stepfather? What about him?" It was clear he didn't understand my plan, but
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 125
~ Rayel’s POVMy heart shattered into a million pieces. Years of love, devotion, poured down the drain. The woman I thought I knew, the woman I had built a future with was a stranger. The truth, a bitter pill coated in sugar, sat heavy in my gut."You... love someone else and have never loved me?" My voice barely rose above a whisper, the words scraping against my raw throat.Hazel scoffed, a sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Loved? Please, Rayel. It was never love. It was convenient. A way to pass the time." The coldness in her voice sent a fresh wave of nausea crashing over me."And now you want out?" I managed, the question laced with a desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, this was all a twisted joke.Hazel's smile returned, but this time it was devoid of warmth, a predatory glint flashing in her eyes. "Exactly. And wouldn't it be a grand gesture of your love to let me go quietly? A final act of selflessness before I return to the arms of someone who actually deserves me."
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 124
~ Rayel’s POV I was speechless, staring at Hazel. She wasn't making things easier. Hazel got up and walked closer to me, clearly frustrated."You're being such a jerk, Rayel! Why are you acting so mad? I told you I was pregnant, and you believed it even though you knew I can't have kids. Why are you getting mad at me now?” Hazel demanded, her voice laced with anger.Frustration bubbled over. "Seriously, Hazel? You can't even apologize?" I exclaimed.Hazel scoffed. "Why would I? I bent over backwards for you, remember? You should be thanking me, not throwing a tantrum."Her lack of regret made my blood boil. "That's unbelievable, Hazel! You don't get to play innocent here. Taking responsibility is grown-up stuff, and you're failing miserably! I hate it when people don’t take responsibility for their actions!” I said. The air hung heavy with accusation after Hazel's scoff. "Take responsibility for my actions!" she spat, her words dripping with misplaced blame. I managed a smile, thin
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 123
~ Rayel’s POVMy jaw clenched as I spotted the woman. She was heavily pregnant, her face pale with exhaustion. As soon as she saw me, her eyes widened and she immediately dropped to her knees."Who are you?!" I demanded, my voice firm but not angry.Her voice trembled as she stammered, "Y-Your Majesty... I'm..." Sweat beaded on her forehead despite the cool air.She took a shaky breath, finally calming down a bit. "My name is Ares," she revealed in a small voice."Ares," I repeated, trying to place the name. It didn't ring a bell. My gaze swept across the room again, taking in the changes. Gone was the bare and dusty space I remembered. Now, comfortable furniture filled the space, along with a surprising amount of good food stocked in a nearby cupboard. My eyebrows furrowed. "And why are you here, Ares?!”My tone was accusatory and it was clear I wanted answers.“Ares! Who exactly are you and what are you doing here?!” I asked again.“Luna Hazel… can explain… that,” she stammered.“Wh

~ Rayel’s POV A memory surfaced. My father had once mentioned a room that belonged to his grandfather. They hadn't gotten along, and after my grandfather's passing, my father had ordered the room sealed and untouched. This, I realized, was the very same room.The room's pristine condition was a stark contrast to the dust and neglect I had expected. Curiosity gnawed at me. I crept closer, reaching out to push on the doorknob. It wouldn't budge, it was locked. But from the inside!Confused, I rapped on the door. "Hello? Is anyone there?"A woman's voice, laced with surprise, echoed back. "Who is it? Are you Luna Hazel?"I heard her footsteps approaching the door, but it remained firmly shut. When I didn't answer, the footsteps stopped.Something wasn't right. I pushed against the door with all my strength. It creaked open a sliver, revealing a glimpse of a cluttered room and... a woman.The sight that greeted me was a shock. A heavily pregnant woman stood there, her eyes wide with alar

~ Elara’s POV Rufus knelt down, and a moment later I heard the happy gurgling of my son. Rufus had brought him out, a tiny scrap of peaceful normalcy in the midst of the chaos. Dolph munched on his food with a single-minded focus that mirrored my own training sessions. It was almost comical, the way he would get so engrossed in eating he'd fall asleep right after, as if sensing the importance of the task at hand.A surge of fierce love washed over me. I would find my father. Not just for myself, but for Dolph, to create a safe and secure future for both of us. Fueled by this newfound determination, I devoured my food, ready to tackle another grueling training session. The road ahead was long, but with each passing day, I felt myself getting closer, not just to unlocking my powers, but to reuniting with my father.Days bled into weeks as I trained relentlessly. Rufus pushed me hard, but I never faltered. Then, one day, it happened. With a final, grueling exercise, Rufus finally manage
