All Chapters of Running With His Heir: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

— Leia Steele — The entire territory of the Shadow Claws Pack was in utter chaos and there was only one reason as to why – he was coming back. His real name is Viktor Morgenstar, but every single person who has ever come across him knows him as the Dark Alpha. Some feel fortunate to know him for he is powerful in a lot of ways, but the others, the unfortunate ones like me, to us it was like the shadow of death looming over us. One mistake and it would be over, so it was better to not experience firsthand nor learn how he got such a name in the first place. Tragically, that was what happened to his parents and his own mate and it did not end well for any of them. At least, according to what I have heard from the whispers along the corridors. “Look at this pathetic little slave on the floor. How does it feel to be like dirt? Oh, you missed a spot.” A man dressed in fine black leather pushed me to the ground, causing me to spill the bucket of water all over the marble floor I had jus

— Leia Steele — When I woke up, every muscle in my body was aching and I could barely move an inch without wincing in pain. Last night, after seeing what I saw firsthand, I overworked myself again. It’s what I do when I need to get my mind off of things. It’s the only thing I can do because it was not like the slaves were allowed to shift and roam around the forest. We were imprisoned here and whether we like it or not, all that we could really do is work, work, and more work. I heard whispers and shuddery breaths around me, and I tried my best to push me up on the bed. Well, the thin blanket that separates me from the cold hard floor, to be more specific. “I really thought we were going to die…” A girl said with a shaking voice, her eyes bloodshot as if she hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep, and I rubbed my eyes to wake me even more. It was Jessica, the youngest of the June sisters. I looked around and noticed all three sisters were huddled together while telling the other gi

— Leia Steele — Even though my hands were beginning to get clammy and my entire body was sweating profusely, I knew I had to keep going. After finishing my duty of cleaning the area of the common wolves, I hurried to get out of there before anybody else decided that I was going to be their target. Another reason why was because I needed to get to Katja. Fast. I knew where I was going, but my biggest problem was that I didn’t know how to get there. Us slaves had our assignments for each area, and today I was not assigned to go anywhere near the Dark Alpha’s den. If anyone so much as caught a glimpse of me and realized I was not supposed to be there, I would be screwed before I could even try and save Katja. Carefully and as quietly as possible, I walked at the sides of the hallway leading me to the area of the gigantic mansion where the Alpha and his closest men stayed. I made sure to stay in the shadows and tried to blend in with the other slaves that were in the area; cleaning, b

— Viktor Morgenstar — “You are nothing! You will never be like me!” My father’s harsh words are like a sword being stabbed to my chest over and over again. He had always seen me as worthless, like somebody that could never amount to half as much as he is. As the Alpha of the Shadow Claws Pack his standards for everything were on a much higher scale. Never in my life did I reach that scale of his. Try as I might, I knew deep that I could never be enough for him. “Sweetie, please just calm down. He is still too young.” My mother rushes to his side, gently touching his arm to soothe him. She always tries to pacify a situation and it just so happens that my father lets out his anger at me more often than a few times. Lately, it feels like it’s just getting worse and worse. “That’s his problem, isn’t it? He will always just be your little boy, not a man worthy to inherit my throne. If his brother was here then things would be very different.” My father grumbled and I immediately saw t

— Viktor Morgenstar — Beyond my quarters, I can feel the sun slowly starting to set. Its warmth is disappearing from every inch of the forest until there is nothing but cold air and darkness that fills every corner of my Pack. I opened my eyes and am greeted by nothing but that same darkness I have become familiar with since that day many years ago. The day I realized I was no ordinary wolf, that something else inside me lurked. Sometimes I wonder if I am already dead, because waking up in total darkness makes me feel as if I am buried somewhere deep underground. I let out a deep sigh before pushing my sheets off of me and setting my feet on the cold marble floor. The chilly feeling of it instantly tells me that I am one hundred percent alive and that my body is still on this godforsaken Earth. Fuck’s sake, I just woke up and already feel like I need a bottle of the strongest wolfsbane liquor. It’s the only alcohol that can actually have an effect on me, but even then, it’s not re
