All Chapters of Running Away: Pregnant For My Contractual Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Ryker’s POVSomething wasn’t right and I felt it. From the way Ella looked at me from the strange exchanges between Selena and Willow, I was having a very bad feeling.I tried to ignore it. I tried to pretend like everything was fine and that Ella was no longer my business, but I couldn’t do it. As soon as Willow walked back into the house, I grabbed my car keys and went after them.As I held on tightly to my steering wheel, I had no idea what I was doing. My wolf was on edge as if Ella was in some kind of trouble even though it didn’t make any sense. She was with her father and cousin. What could go wrong?The more rational part of me told me that everything was fine and that I was just thinking too much, but my wolf refused to believe this. It pushed the panic in me, and I drove even faster. About twenty minutes later, I caught a glimpse of the pink SUV in the distance.I wanted to drive to their level and probably offer to escort them down to Crystal Pack borders at least. Even if

Michael’s POVAs I carried the charred body in my arms, I could feel their eyes piercing down on me. David gave me strange looks. It seemed like this was not the reaction he had expected from me, and this bothered him.Andrew wasn’t sobbing as openly as David, but his pain was the strongest.I continued walking, leading to the back of the building and further down into the fields where the royals of the past were buried.“Guards!” I yelled, ignoring the weight in my arms —and the shock of the people around me.The guards I had called appeared in front of me with their heads bowed in respect.“Get spades and start digging a befitting place for my mate…” I ordered, purposely letting my voice falter at the end for good measure.The guards chorused; “Yes, captain,” and instantly went to work.They picked up a good spot just after Luna’s tomb and started digging. In my heart, I rejoiced at their choice for it was going to be iconic and now, David couldn’t even doubt me anymore.“Michael, y

Michael’s POVMy words didn’t just get to Selena, even David turned pale, and his eyes pushed, almost threatening to fall out of their sockets as he stared back at me.It was very amusing to watch father and daughter exhibit such strong similar characteristics. I had to give it to them for putting up such a good performance in front of the family. The answers had always been in front of us, but we didn’t realize it.But now that I did, it became the perfect piece to the puzzle I wanted to solve.“Do you realize allegations like this will get you in a whole lot of trouble with the Alpha?” David managed to snap out of his shock before his daughter and then he growled as best as he could.I pushed my lips forward and placed two fingers on my jawline as I pretended to consider what he had just said. “I also realize that you will also be in trouble especially since I have proof and let’s consider everything that had happened…”I paused, allowing the silence to loom into their ears before I

Ryker’s POVThe ringing in my head resumed and the world turned dark. I could hear the healers explaining what this solution implied, but I couldn’t bring myself to respond. It felt like my body was divided into two. A part was frozen with shock while another part was present and acting without rationality, and a huge part of motor senses went to the part that was frozen.“…taking the poison out is very risky. There are a lot of conditions that might make it fail. If she doesn’t want you, if her wolf is rejecting you, and if you were responsible for the injury, the solution will not work…” the first healer listed out and my eyes followed the movements of his fingers as he explained.If there was anything I got from that, then it was the fact that this method was going to work. I didn’t harm her. Her wolf wouldn’t reject me because this was the very room where I had claimed her, and it had accepted.“…And most importantly, this method will not work because you are the Alpha,” the sec

Ryker’s POVMy heart tightened as anger clutched every part of it, but I kept it all inside as I marched out of the room and went straight to the gates where Patrick said Anna was waiting.She had some guts to come all the way here. What did she think she would achieve by doing this?The dark side of me rose to my throat. I began to regret sparing her. The day I gutted out her mother’s tongue, I should have taken something from her as well. Maybe then she would have learned to respect her boundaries.“Where is she?” I growled as we stepped out of the mansion.Patrick pointed his hand in the direction of the gates in response. “I asked her to wait outside till I could get your opinion. She is by the gate,” he said.My eyes searched the area with the ferocity of an angered beast. Somehow, all the emotions I felt since the trauma of finding out about Selena and David’s intentions began, pushed and focused on my anger towards Anna.“My lord,” she cried the moment she saw me. She dropped t
