The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 49
~ Rayel's POVHe flinched again, his breath catching in his throat. He looked like a cornered animal, desperate for an escape but with nowhere to run. "I... I can't say," he mumbled, his voice barely audible.His voice shook as he mumbled, "I'm sorry, Alpha Rayel," "Sorry doesn't cut it, Zeeb!" I roared. "What were you thinking? This isn't some playground squabble! I need a real explanation, not some half-hearted apology!"“It wasn't supposed to happen like this! I was just messing around, having a bit of fun with her, but then she… she started something, got all riled up."“What?!” Everyone exclaimed, looking so shocked. The murmurs and hushed whispers began anew. I held up a hand and the crowd immediately fell quiet.I moved closer to him and then asked him if he was truly admitting to the crimes. “It was a mistake, Alpha Rayel,” he said but the way he sounded to me doesn’t show his sincerity and I knew he was only admitting to his crime, thinking that his father would use his inf
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 50
~ Hazel’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I slipped out of the hidden passage. It wasn't my first escape from the palace, but that didn't make it any easier. I knew exactly which twisty corridors and secret doors to take to avoid the usual guards. Relief flooded me as I finally emerged from a dusty service entrance, blinking in the sunlight. But just as I thought I was in the clear, disaster struck. A shout erupted from the courtyard. Rayel was taking care of the intruder and everyone, of course, went running to see the commotion. Perfect. Now, thanks to the whole "intruder-and-Rayel-show," everyone was on high alert, making my escape that much more obvious. Talk about bad timing! But I was able to leave the palace without getting caught. I quickly walked away from the palace and then brought out my phone from my back pocket. I went through my contact and then sent a text to Alpha Dolph, my secret lover. Hey, let’s meet up at our usual placeI hit the sent button and I knew th
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 51
~ Rayel’s POVI watched as Zeeb was dragged out by the guards. He was manhandled out of the courtyard. He disappeared in a flurry of shouts and thrashing limbs and then I turned my attention back to Farkas. Calling out his name again made me recall that I had heard the name before. The name echoed in my head and I was sure I’d heard it somewhere.I stared at him silently and then Boris walked up to me, asking if I was okay."I'm okay," I mumbled to Boris, "but the name Farkas... I think I knew someone with that name."Boris's brow furrowed even deeper. "Actually, Your Majesty," he said carefully, "Farkas is also the name of Elara's stepfather."My breath hitched. Elara's name sent a fresh wave of sadness crashing over me. But I pushed it down. There were bigger things to deal with at that moment.I turned back to Farkas, who was watching me intently. "You seem relieved Zeeb's gone," I said. He gave a small nod. "He deserved it."He was so grateful to me for punishing Zeeb and then tol
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 52
~ Elara’s POVI got right up in Rufus's face or maybe more like his chest and he nearly shoved me off! He looked super jumpy, all jittery and on edge. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him and why he was so nervous."Rufus, are you seriously okay?" I asked him, totally freaking out 'cause he seemed so freaked.Rufus snapped a curt "I'm good" at me and bolted out of the room faster than a greased cheetah. I chased after him, but poof, he was gone like a magician's trick. My brain went into overdrive. Did I say or do something wrong? I wracked my head but came up with nothing.The room felt like it was closing in on me. Every creak of the floorboards sounded like Rufus returning, but he wasn’t. Time seemed to crawl as I paced back and forth. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I checked the clock – it was way past dinner time. Panic started to gnaw at me. Grabbing my phone, I switched on the flashlight and, completely forgetting it was dark out, I charged out into the forest to
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 53
~ Rufus’s POVElara's tumble onto my chest sent a jolt through me. My face flushed hot, and for a second, I felt like shoving her off me, but I clenched my jaw and stopped myself from doing so. Without a word, I bolted. I needed air, space, anything to get Elara out of my immediate range. I raced out the house and plunged into the woods, the trees quickly swallowing me whole. Her voice calling my name faintly registered, but I pushed on, deeper into the green maze. My head throbbed, and I had to sort through the jumble of emotions before I could even think about facing her again.The giant oak tree cast a cool shadow as I slumped down at its base. My mind was stuck on Elara, and how to slam the brakes on these growing feelings. Confessing everything felt too soon, too scary. Lost in thought, a gentle breeze whispered through the leaves, and sleep drifted over me like a wave.A sudden gust of wind ripped through the trees, jolting me awake. Darkness had smothered the forest. Panic surg
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 54
~ Rufus’s POV I was silent for a while when I heard Elara’s question and then I recalled how I had unintentionally killed a friend of mine with my powers at the hospital some years ago. It was another excruciating feeling I had after Dolph’s incident and I wasn’t over it yet. Richard was my best friend when I was in medical school. We were roommates and we did most of our things together. We attended lectures, seminars and even did our assignments together. We were so close that some people even joked we were a couple. It wasn't like that, though. I was definitely ahead of him in school, always explaining the tough stuff he didn't quite grasp. He came from a rich family, but he wasn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and work part-time with me to help make ends meet. That's the kind of friend he was. We were like brothers, really. Even though I was older, Richard reminded me a lot of my own younger brother. He had that same spark of curiosity, always wanting to learn and explore. It ma

~ Hazel’s POVAlpha Dolph stared at me like a lion eyeing its dinner. He licked his lips, which wasn't exactly helping my heart rate."It's getting late," I said, trying to sound calm. "I need to get out of here before someone sees us,”Dolph gave me a sad puppy dog look. "Just a little longer, Haz, then you can go.""I really need to go," I pressed, a little playfully. "Wouldn't want Rayel to find out about our little secret, would we?""Hold on," he chuckled, pulling me closer. "If Rayel finding out means I get to keep you all to myself, then maybe it's not such a bad thing,”I swatted his arm playfully. "Don't be ridiculous, Dolph,” I stood up and started to change. He couldn't resist following suit, wrapping his arms around me from behind as I slipped on my clothes. He nuzzled my neck, inhaling my scent, and then trailed kisses down my arm."Maybe I should just come over to your territory, steal your husband from his fancy throne, and make you queen of mine," he murmured between k
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 56
~ Rufus’s POVRichard and I watched in shock as the patient grabbed a scalpel; a sharp knife used in surgery right off a nurse. He waved it around wildly and shouted, "Get me a doctor now, or someone's gonna get hurt!" Fear was etched on his face, and his voice trembled. It seemed clear he was desperate and terrified, probably confused too.“I need to get out of here!”The woman who came with the guy cautiously approached him, her voice laced with soothing concern. "Hey, hey, it's alright. See, right there? The doctor you wanted, they're coming. They'll take good care of you, just put that thing down, okay?"But her words seemed to have the opposite effect. The man's fear turned into anger. His grip tightened on the scalpel. "Don't you tell me what to do!" he roared. "You got me all messed up in this mess, and now you think you can just boss me around? No way!"The situation escalated further. The man's shout boomed through the room, "Adulterer!" Panic surged through everyone as he wi

~ 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
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 128
~ 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
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 127
~ 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
