All Chapters of The Runaways' Second Chance Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The one thing about this human in front of me that I am not ready to find out about involves the fact that he is a wolf, very much like the real me that I was trying so much to conceal from him. And what's even more shocking is the fact that he is saying it to me as if it wasn't a big deal; it was as if him being like me was the most natural thing in the world. It's as if wolves rule the world, not humans.I have absolutely no idea what drove him to make this kind of claim or to assert something that might be far from the truth just to appease me. And yes, maybe whatever he said may or may not be the truth, but either way, I'm not prepared for something like that, and it shook the hell out of me.As soon as those words left him, I found myself speechless and unable to even move in my place. My mind is overflowing with a lot of questions that I am not sure if I want to have answers for. I am shocked about everything, and the whys and hows are generating a lot of assumptions in my head t

"Ryder, where is she? Where is Snow?" Those were the first questions Alpha Phoenix raised to Ryder when they met as he was on his way to meet with the Black Knight's Alpha."Alpha Phoenix, what a surprise. We are not expecting you." Ryder's uneasiness is so evident that he cannot help but think that something is wrong."Where is Snow?" He repeated his earlier question. Ryder immediately turned around to see if anyone had heard the alpha's question. Snow's existence is still a big secret to the pack. "Alpha Phoenix, you know we can't discuss that here. Why don't we take a walk?""Where is she, Ryder?" He doesn't plan on taking walks, so he just repeated the question. "Great. Let's go this way, Alpha," Ryder answered, completely disregarding his question and gesturing for him towards the path where he came from. "Alpha Cohen is quite busy at the moment."With no other choice left, he walked along with Ryder. He doesn't have any options at this point because he needs information. As soo

"What is the meaning of this, Blaze?! What you have done is beyond absurd! Is it really that bold of you to bring that woman back here and admit that you have feelings for her in my presence? How dare you! Are you really that out of your mind? You can hardly give me or our child a thought, but here you are professing your love for someone else. And that is just fucking bullshit!"He's lucky to remove Cleo from Snow's line of sight before she has a chance to go into a fit of hysteria like what is happening now. It's a good thing that Blythe also knows the drill and was able to get Snow away from the scene just as abruptly as he did with Cleo.It's not as if he was really thinking that Snow would do anything, but he needs to keep the two apart for his own peace of mind. Granted, he already knew how strong and rough Snow can be; after all, she is a warrior wolf princess, and he couldn't guarantee the baby's welfare if Snow gets agitated or too irritated with Cleo."You're so stupid, Blaze

Blaze snapped at Cleo, his booming voice reverberating in the room. "How dare you! You are such a liar!" He is trying his best to control himself to no avail, but what he learned just a few minutes ago is making him react this way.Quen arrived just to stop him from sending Cleo home when she was ready to depart, and his friend gave him the most amazing news: Cleo is not pregnant with his child; in fact, she is not pregnant at all. And everything she just said is a made-up story.He had waited for this validation for so long. Cleo definitely prepared well for her lies, but consequently, not too well to keep his men from knowing the truth. Yes, the news is fantastic, but he can't help but feel enraged with the woman in front of him, who appears to be too shocked to even respond to him.He notices that the woman is frightened right now, but he doesn't seem to mind. He is sending her a message that nobody messes with him and gets away with it freely. She can't just come up with some lies

This was what I wanted. Although I am still not prepared for the entire mating ritual, as Eris mentioned earlier, I nevertheless desire him. There is nothing that can stop me from lusting over my mate, since I wanted him as much as he wanted me.To make our bond stronger, and in order for my bond with Phoenix to weaken, we simply have to complete the mating, but that can be a discussion for another time. After all, the mating will have to happen on the full moon. Right now, I need him. I need him to be inside of me.He is my mate. In the same way as I am his, he is mine, and when I'm in his arms, any uncertainty I had about the uneasiness that's still present in my being vanishes. His kisses are enough for me to give him my full attention.I am now ready to give in to my desires. I may be confused about a lot of things, especially with Blaze and Phoenix, but being with him right now gives me the assurance that whatever link I have with Phoenix will soon vanish. I am starting to see my
