The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 9
Elara’s POV My heart was pounding with every step I took as I started running without turning back into the forest. The forest was too thick and I was so scared as I navigated throughout the entire place. My hand was on my belly the entire time, scared that my decision to run away from Alpha Rayel would do more harm than good to me and my baby. As I continued stumbling through the forest with no sense of where I was headed, unbidden images of Alpha Rayel played in my mind, from the moment I had first seen him to the utterly hurtful and cold look he had given me just mere hours after he had taken both my body and my heart. My eyes stung with unshed tears, I roughly swallowed the lump in the throat, knowing that I might never see him again and my baby might never meet his father. If only… I quickly and firmly shut the door on that thought. There is no point dwelling on what could never be, I caution myself. I knew that it was best that I accepted that I would have a mate who lov
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 10
~ Elara’s POV I groaned in pain as my stomach began to hurt badly and then I yelled out for help hoping someone would hear my cry and help me out. Groaning, I doubled over, the pain in my stomach twisting into a barbed fist. It wasn't a familiar ache, the kind that came with hunger, I was familiar with those. This was something else, a sharp, insistent demon clawing at my insides. I should not have been too hasty, I should have been careful and checked the fruits properly before eating, I thought to myself, still in pain. "Hello? Anyone there? Please, I need help," I managed to gasp out. At that point, I was no longer worried about Alpha Rayel or someone from his pack finding me. All I was worried about was pain gnawing my insides and the fear that something terrible could be happening to my baby. And it would be all my fault. I curled up, wrapping one arm around my belly and apologizing to my baby. I'm so sorry, sweetheart. Your mom did not mean to harm you on purpose. I'm so
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 11
~Rayel’s POV I was so scared that something bad might have happened to Elara when Beta Boris told me that the only place we have not searched was the Lake’s forest. Taking down the wild animals and the rogues in the Lake’s forest was not a problem for me but it had been a tradition in our pack not to always go to the forest without a tangible reason. Before the demise of my father, he had promised to tell me the reason behind that but he was unable to do so and also Boris explained to me that I shouldn’t let the member of the council know that I wasn’t aware of the situation or else they would make an issue out of it. There was a time that I even planned to wipe out the rogues and other things in the forest but I had a lot of resistance from the members of the council and I had no choice but to stay put and do nothing about the forest. Everyone stared at me waiting for me to give out the orders and I thought to myself that it was probably the best moment to take care of the forest an
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 12
Rayel's POV Beta Boris stared at me in consternation. I returned his gaze unflinchingly, but his steady gaze soon made me drop mine. I let out a heavy sigh and looked up towards the sky. I stared at the dark clouds, unable to push away my worry for Elara, despite the uncomfortable situation I was in. "Alpha Rayel?" He prompted, causing me to take my gaze off the sky and look back towards him. "Are you in love with Elara?" He asked again. I debated telling him the truth. I trusted Beta Boris with my life, he had been my Beta, supporting me right from the moment I was crowned as Alpha of the Silvercrest pack. We had just been teenagers, not ready for the huge responsibility when we received the news that our parents had died in a fatal car crash on the way to a council meeting. Even when a few territories wolves and members of the council had tried to take the throne, using the excuse of me being too young. Beta Boris' father had been my own dad's Beta when he had been alive and r
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 13
Rayel's POV Boris stared at me without saying anything and I knew that I had allowed my emotions to get the best out of me. I kept quiet as well and waited for the guards to return back to me with good news. After some minutes, Boris turned to me and then he looked a bit unrest, probably trying to choose his words carefully. "What do you plan to do, Alpha?" Boris asked, breaking the silence. I didn't have an answer. I was still grappling with the situation, torn between my love and my duty. "I... I don't know yet," I admitted, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over me. "But I will protect her, Boris. I swear it. Even if it means sacrificing everything." Boris placed a hand on my shoulder, his touch a source of comfort in the midst of my turmoil. "We will figure this out together, Alpha," he said with unwavering loyalty. "Just remember, you're not alone in this." From his words, I had a feeling Boris knew more than he was letting on. And although I was not ready to ask him and

Elara's POV "Hmm…" At the mention of my name, Rufus' face turned pensive and to be honest, a little bit scary. I scooted back a little, putting a protective arm around my belly. It was then that I remembered that I basically had no idea where I was. I could clearly remember running into the forest to get away from Alpha Rayel's pack, but after losing consciousness, I had no idea how Rufus had found me and the route that might have led to his abode. “What’s wrong?” I asked him, feeling a bit offended with the way he looked at me. “Nothing, El….” he seemed to have forgotten my name and then I reminded him that it was Elara. He smiled at me and then promised not to forget my name. After taking the bitter potion, I returned the cup to him and then thanked him properly for saving me and my baby. “It’s my pleasure, Elara,” he said. Just when I was about to stand up to leave his place, he pulled me back, explaining to me that I still needed some rest. “When you have rested well

Rayel's POV "Hazel…" I was lost for words at Hazel's sudden change in behavior. Just a few minutes ago, she was crying and sobbing about what had happened to Elara. And now, she was saying words that I found hard to understand. "Hazel, she died. Elara died today and it was all our fault." There was a hitch in my voice that prevented me from being able to continue. "It was not our fault, Rayel," she replied softly, looking up at me through her lashes. Before Elara, I would have melted the very moment she looked at me that way. But this time around, I was enraged. I felt like I was dying inside, but no one felt the same way, which made me want to scream and shout and throw things. My hands curled into fists, coaching tightly as Hazel continued, oblivious to the intense emotions raging within me. "She left. No one forced her to. She was taken well care of here…" "She was in a literal prison!!!" I could not stop myself from yelling out those words. It had been eating at me ever si
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 16
~ Hazel’s POVI mulled over the events of the past few hours. I could not believe that Elara had actually summoned up the courage to try and escape. I would have never thought she would have the guts to do something like that. That stupid girl nearly ruined my plans with the stunt she just pulled. I pondered over it and remembering the blood soaked piece of cloth, I wondered if she was truly dead. The thought sobered me a little bit, but I had to shake it off. I was so pained when Rayel asked me when I was going to go through the pain of getting pregnant. After instructing Beta Boris to get me a new breeder as soon as possible, I tried talking to Rayel but he wasn’t ready to talk to me and then I exited his room and returned back to my room.I laid back on my bed lazily and wondered why Rayel got so worked up over Elara’s death. I was a bit sad when I heard the news about her death but then she ran away from home and her death doesn’t have anything to do with anyone. I brought out

~ 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

~ 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."

~ 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

~ 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
