All Chapters of Running With His Heir: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

— Leia Steele — “You are no longer my father, you said so yourself that day you left me to die. You don’t have the right to be here and try to act like you care, and if I were you, it would be best for you to just get the hell out of here. You may have had no heart when you left me, but I at least am a better person than you so for your own good, you should leave while you still can.” I said that. I really, really said that to the man who abandoned me in a time I needed him the most, to the man who saw me as nothing but a monster, to the man I thought would love me unconditionally compared to anybody else. All this time I thought that he was gone, but I guess deep down, a part of me did also think about what it would be like if he wasn’t, and if one of these days he showed up in front of me again. I couldn’t believe that it did happen this time. I always imagined how I would react; if I would cry seeing him still alive and maybe even feel some sort of relief. That and run

— Leia Steele — It was dark. So eerily dark, just like that time I was captured and found out I was at Edith and Christopher’s. I felt a strange feeling come over me and I sucked in a deep breath. Now was not the time to be scared. I have to be tough now more than ever. “We’re right there with you, okay? And even if anything happens, which there won’t be, I know who you are, Leia, and you’re tougher than you think you are. Just look at how far you’ve come. Don’t let him belittle you. Don’t let him get to your head.” Zane’s words come into my mind and this helps me feel even more confident. I don’t know where the hell I am or what is about to happen, but I do know that one way or another, this all ends today. I was standing by the doorway, my hand pressing against the rough wood so that I could remain steady and not end up stepping where I shouldn’t, when all of a sudden, I felt it. I felt that feeling I haven’t in months since… Since I left him. My entire body

— Leia Steele — Wh— what was that? It was so sudden that I was speechless and unmoving for a second. Viktor was clearly not expecting anyone to come in as he himself froze, too. When I finally managed to turn my head, there he was, standing atop the door that was once there but had now been broken down. He was all bloody. Not a single inch on his body was not covered with red and even… bits of… flesh. He looked brutal, like he had just come from Hell and back. I can’t imagine how hard he had to fight to get here, but I have no words to describe how fucking glad I am to see him. The exhilaration and relief takes over me, yet I know this is not over. As terrifying as it sounds, I think it's only just the beginning. “Zane,” I breathed out. I didn’t even notice he was holding a severed head until it came flying towards us and landed right in front of Viktor’s feet. When I looked down, bloodshot eyes of a face that was somewhat familiar stared back at me.

— Leia Steele — In the past few months I had been back with the Shadow Claws, my life had turned into something so monotonous and soul-crushing. Every single day it was wake up, get dressed, paraded around the Pack for everybody to see me, their future Luna, and pampered up to no end by endless women servicing me for whatever I needed or wanted. The only upside was that Viktor did not engage in anything sexual nor physical with me as to not harm the birth of the baby. It was refreshing, at least, knowing that he wouldn’t come into my room in the middle of the night and do something to me that I know now I wouldn’t be able to stomach. The only thing is that he still does come into my room every single night and talk to me about himself, the Pack, the baby and how excited he is for when things are finally set like he has always planned. Luckily for me, I have become somewhat of an expert in pretending I was already asleep, forcing my body to stay still and my breathing slow a

— Zane Frost — Chaos. Madness. Death. It was left and right. It was almost impossible to escape, but I kept pushing. I told myself that I had to. I knew I had to for her, for Leia, for Keira, for everybody in my Pack and Alpha Titus’. This was all our fight and we had to end this today. No matter what. As soon as anyone tried to come after me, I fought to kill. I don’t think about anything else, but to get the upper hand. The very first time you hesitate, there’s no coming back from that. I see the bloodthirst in their eyes and in the way they growl. These wolves are different. Whilst the White Howlers and Blazing Wolves were trained to mostly defend themselves from the enemies, these ones were trained to do no defending, only killing, like they were all raised to be killing machines. It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, but I had to keep up with them if I had to get to Leia. When I saw her get dragged into that house out of nowhere, it was like a switch
