All Chapters of Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ella's POVI could not believe my ears as my wolf's growl resonated within me. She had really spoken and not just any word, she had found our mate."Mine..." The man growled and my insides melted. He was really my mate.Tingles spread through me as I felt like the luckiest female in the kingdom. I had finally found my mate.I tried to see the man through the darkness in the room but I could merely make out his huge frame as he held me close and continued sniffing my body."Who are you? What's your name?" I asked, trying to get him to speak to me at least. "Do you live here? Is this your house?"But his wolf let out another growl and he stopped sniffing me. I was about to resume my questions but I felt his hands begin to move around my skin. He started from my arms and slowly found my stomach. I thought he was going to stop there, but they dangerously moved to my chest.My heart started thumping again but this time it wasn't for fear —but from desire. My hormones were charged and as mu

Ella's POVThe words were staring back at me but I refused to believe it. This had to be a mistake.Ryker had just accepted that he was my mate in front of my stepmother and everyone.He said he wanted to make me his Luna, yet he was giving me a contract... As hard as I thought about it, it made no sense at all.But as I raised my eyes from the piece of paper in my hands, I met the real Ryker.And then it dawned on me. He was a cruel man. This was probably just his way of punishing me and ruining my life for what we did.Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes and I tried to reason with him. Maybe he would understand and let me go."But you have a lover. Why do you need me to go into a marriage contract with you?" I cried out.Ryker adjusted his coat and looked straight into my eyes without a single drop of emotion, he said; "You are right. I do have a lover and her name is indeed Willow but she is in a coma now. So, I need someone to be Luna temporarily."His explanation made no sens

Ella's POV"No, I am not pregnant," I quickly said, refusing to even imagine such a possibility. "Why would you think that?""But Luna, your menstruation has been delayed. And then the smell of meat just made you throw up. It can only be a pregnancy!" She beamed."No, Olga. You are wrong. I am not pregnant. I am just nervous to share dinner with the Alpha for the first time that's all. Please don't mention this idea of yours to anyone," I warned her.She lowered her gaze and her excitement left at once. "Yes of course Luna. I won't speak of it," she said and hurriedly walked out of the bathroom.I couldn't be pregnant. That was just not possible. The only man I had ever been with was Ryker but could just one night of sex get me pregnant?No. That was not possible.Even as my mind denied it, I couldn't help the dreadful feeling that gnawed at me. Olga was right, my menstruation was late and I had been feeling light-headed a lot lately.And now I threw up...The thoughts made me grow ev

Ella's POVFor the second time in one day, somebody was asking me this, at this point all the doubts I had were gone down the drain. I was truly pregnant but I couldn't tell anyone. Not even Willow."No, I am not pregnant," I said with an uneasy laugh."Hmm," Willow sneered, straightening up on the bed. "If you are not pregnant, why did you try to protect your stomach when the hot water poured on you?"My mouth suddenly went dry and I lacked a good defense as I tried to remember when I had done that. I looked down at my stomach and saw that I still had my uninjured arm over my stomach.Quickly I took it away and shook my head. "It was... It was nothing. I am not pregnant," I repeated, trying to sound firm but I failed and Willow saw it too She corked her head to the side and her blue eyes seemed to glow as she stared at me, "Ella, should call the doctor then? We should let him test you. Maybe I am wrong after all, who knows?"Her voice was nothing like it sounded a while back, it was

Ella's POVThe soft calls of birds above me and the gentle kisses of the wind pulled me out of sleep.I was suddenly conscious of where I was even though my eyes were closed. I could hear the sound of waves slapping against one another and a frown covered my face as I wondered where I was. Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked to confirm that I was really at some kind of river bank with really large waves that rhythmically slapped against the bank creating a perfect backdrop to the place.It was morning already and I realised that I must have spent the night right here. Fear tugged at my heart as an uneasiness suddenly filled me.The land around me seemed to go on forever like a forgotten paradise with beautiful flowers growing along the path, yet I couldn't be comfortable as I was trying to figure out if this was the afterlife or if I was still in the land of the living.The cliff that I jumped down from didn't have a river at the bottom. But the more I thought about it, I realised I
