The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 99
~ Daciana’s POVA wave of nausea washed over me as I regained consciousness. My entire body throbbed with a dull ache, a constant reminder of the brutal punishment. Slowly, I pushed myself up on my elbows, wincing at the sharp protest from my muscles.As my blurry vision cleared, the horrifying scene from before the blackout came flooding back – the guards being tied down, the agonizing blows, my own desperate screams. But something was different. I wasn't outside anymore. I was back in my bed, the familiar comfort of my own quarters surrounding me.A flicker of movement caught my eye. There, by the doorway, stood the two hefty guards who had delivered the punishment. My breath hitched as my eyes landed on the guards. The memory of their imposing figures during the punishment sent a fresh wave of fear through me. I flinched back instinctively, my sore muscles protesting the movement.Turning my head with a groan, I saw a maid bustling around my bedside, applying soothing salves to m

~ Rayel’s POVI was bursting with joy when I heard about Hazel's pregnancy. I practically bubbled all night at the party. I couldn’t hide my happiness and then I pulled her into the room. I grabbed Hazel for a quick chat. Her face practically glowed, and that just made my happiness overflow. I kept sneaking glances at her belly, still in disbelief that a tiny miracle was growing inside her. Leaning in, I wanted to feel some kind of connection with this little bean. But I was unable to feel anything. Not a flutter, not a nudge. Maybe, I thought, it's just way too early. After all, the pregnancy is probably just a speck of a thing at that moment.Gazing at her for a moment, my love overflowing, I leaned down and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "Hazel," I murmured, "you have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you for making me a father." Her voice wobbled slightly, a hint of tears glistening in her eyes. "This is for both of us, Rayel. It's a dream come true, and I can't b

~ Elara’s POV Rufus and I were swamped with work, running around to meet his rich clients. Thankfully, they were all really pleasant to deal with, a breath of fresh air compared to Ashley. And speaking of Ashley, I was glad she hadn't caused any more trouble for either of us. What surprised me most, though, was listening to these wealthy clients. Despite all their money, they all seemed to have their own problems. Some struggled with family issues or personal challenges. It made me realize that money doesn't solve everything. Everyone has their own battles to fight, rich or poor.Rufus turned out to be an amazing teacher. He patiently showed me how to make all sorts of natural remedies. He even taught me some first aid basics, like CPR and how to bandage a wound. It was incredibly helpful stuff to know. The most incredible thing, though, was how his feelings for me never wavered, even though I didn't feel the same way romantically. He was a true friend, always there for me. As my

~ Elara’s POVTears streamed down my face as I clung to Rufus. I just kept saying thank you over and over again, my voice thick with emotion. The fear of losing my baby had been so strong, and now that Rufus' actions had somehow prevented it, the relief washed over me in a wave. Even though Rufus gently pulled back, I held onto him as if my dear life depended on him. The terror of almost losing my baby was still raw, and letting go felt like stepping off a cliff. Tears welled up again. I sniffled, "But Rufus, what you did..." My voice cracked. "I was so scared. I thought..." I couldn't even say the words out loud. Rufus must have seen the fear etched on my face because his smile softened further. "Hey," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "It's alright to be scared. But you're strong, Elara. You're going to be okay, and so is the baby." He brushed a stray tear off my cheek with his thumb. He helped me lie down on the bed, tucking the covers gently around me. "You need to rest
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 103
~ Elara’s POVWas I being too demanding? Taking advantage of his good nature? I thought to myself while I was in Rufus’s back. But then I looked up at Rufus' face. His expression was pure joy, his eyes sparkling with mischief. He wasn't straining, he wasn't annoyed. He just seemed genuinely happy to be taking care of me. Maybe, I thought, letting myself relax completely against him, that was part of love too. Accepting that someone wants to take care of you, even when it feels a little strange. So I snuggled in a bit closer, a contented sigh escaping my lips, and enjoyed the ride.We finally reached home, laden with bags from our shopping trip. As I started unloading groceries, Rufus stopped me with a gentle hand. "Wait a sec," he said, a mischievous glint in his eye. He reached for another bag, the one he had mysteriously appeared with earlier. My heart thumped with a mix of excitement and curiosity. What could possibly be in that bag? He carefully handed it to me, and as I peeke

~ Rayel’s POVBoris was a ball of nervous energy, walking back and forth across the office like a caged lion. I tore my gaze away from him and refocused on Dr. Ralph. "Thanks a million for explaining everything, Ralph," I said, wanting to make sure I understood everything he had said. Dr. Ralph gave a short, polite bow to acknowledge my thanks. Feeling a little lighter, I turned back to him and asked, "So, am I good to go now?"Just as Dr. Ralph was about to answer my question, Boris barreled in, interrupting us. "Hold on a sec, Ralph," he said, his voice tight with worry. "Did you do all the tests you were supposed to? Every single one?" Dr. Ralph's brow furrowed slightly. He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "Yes, Sir Boris," he said, emphasizing the title a touch more than necessary. "I performed a full battery of tests on His Majesty, and everything came back looking good, perfectly healthy. However, if you have any concerns about the results, you're certainly welcome to
The Soulbound: Alpha's Runaway Luna Chapter 105
~ Hazel’s POV Relief washed over me. I had managed to convince everyone, even Rayel, that I was pregnant. It was a complete lie, but a necessary one. When I heard Dolph lost the battle and surrendered, I knew I had to act. Dolph was reckless and power-hungry. Losing the war he started made him even more unpredictable. The last thing I wanted was to be tied to a loser. If he knew I wasn't pregnant, he might try to take me away by force and the worst would happen. The secret meetings we had before the war would be exposed. Feigning pregnancy was a perfect way to keep him away and protect my reputation. News of a royal pregnancy would travel fast, and I knew it wouldn't be long before Dolph heard about it.Elated with my successful performance in front of Rayel, I left his chambers and headed back to my room. As I walked down the hallway, every maid and guard I passed offered their congratulations. Their smiles seemed genuine, filled with joy for the upcoming royal baby. I thanked them

~ Hazel’s POVRose listened intently as I explained what I needed help finding. When I finished, there was a thoughtful look on her face. "I think I might have some ideas on where to look. It might take a little digging, but I'm happy to help,” she said. Relief and happiness flooded me. I wasn’t sure if anyone would understand me, let alone be willing to help. "That's amazing, Rose! I knew I could count on you," I said with a genuine smile.Rose grinned back. "No problem at all, your Majesty. In fact, why don't I take a few days off to really focus on finding this thing?,” I considered it for a moment. "That's a great idea,” Rose's smile widened and with a wave and a confident nod, she headed out. As I watched her go, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. It wasn't just about getting what I wanted, it was about having someone like Rose on my side. I knew that with Rose by my side, the search would be fun and successful, no matter the outcome.I decided to keep up my playful act an

~ 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.

~ 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."

~ 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
