All Chapters of Reclaiming His Runaway Bride: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*Annabella's POV*I drew closer to the outskirts of the pack border where he stood, the aroma of pine, filling my nostrils. He seemed in a daze, staring at me, his eyes glossed over with love and admiration. "Mate" He whispered, taking a step forward to close the distance between us. "I've finally found you.""You've been searching for me?" I blushed, my hushed tone equalling his breathy whispers.He smiled, daring to reach out and pull me into his arms. I allowed myself to be engulfed by his scent, tucked securely in his arms. "3 years, 8 months, 2 days, and...." he glanced down at his watch. "49 seconds." He pulled back slightly to gaze into my eyes. "That's how long I've been waiting for you."My heart fluttered at his confession, Stella purring gleefully at the thought of being wanted. "Where are you from?" I questioned as I wrapped my arms around my mate. I'd hope he said somewhere far away from here because I'd gladly run away with him where I'm sure I'd be free, loved, and ch

*Annabella's POV*I lay curled up in the fetal position as the sun rose and fell. I didn’t care to eat or drink. I had no appetite. My heart only ached for what I no longer had. I was merely the shell of who I used to be. Even my wolf could no longer bear the pain, it broke her, and I had to endure her howling in pain and whining as she searched for the will to carry on. But unfortunately, she couldn’t find it. And suddenly, her voice ceased altogether leaving a void to fill my aching soul. I was now left mourning the loss of my mate and my wolf.... I guess even always had an expiration date. The lifeless body of my mate haunted my dreams, making a nightmare of our short-lived memories. I didn’t think things possibly could get any worse, until... I heard a knock.It had been the first sort of contract anyone was attempting to make with me since the night of my mate's death. "I'm expecting you to be downstairs in 5 minutes!" Dad's voice thundered from the other side of the door. He wa

Free at last!I inhaled the sweet smell of my new life as I hopped out of the car and waved the driver goodbye. Everything looked so different compared to back home. The busy streets were flooded with people chatting, laughing, and enjoying themselves. I smiled as I walked on, every glittering thing catching my eyes and making me gaze in wonderment. I bumped into a few people by accident, and to my surprise, there was no feral growling, though I did get a few unpleasent grunts... but nothing too attention-grabbing to cause a scene... nothing like back home. This really was a new start for me."Can I help you?" The store clerk asked as I roamed the isles of the supermarket looking for a snack to keep me. I glanced up, and suddenly, a strange wave of reality hit me when I wasn't referred to by my royal title– A reminder that I was unknown in this town, and without a cent on me. Sometimes I had been able to get things on the credit of my parents. Now, not anymore."Amm... are you all

*Alpha Ruso's POV*"You did what!?" I slammed my palm against the wall of her empty hospital room. "How could you let her go! Especially without my permission?!" I roared, my blood scorching hot. Nurse Linda was slightly trembling. She was a kind old soul, but she had just caused me to lose her. How could she? It was never my intention to blow up like this or use my alpha tone, but at this point, I was losing control over my emotions."You need to calm down..." I heard Keith whisper beside me. "She was only trying to help the wandering human return back to her home.""Human?" I questioned incredulously. What were they talking about? I could definitely smell a wolf on her, plus she was the Alpha’s daughter, my spoiled runaway bride.However, arguing or debating wasn't going to bring her back, I needed to go after her now."Get my car ready, Keith.""Yes, Alpha" He nodded before leaving while I promptly dismissed Nurse Linda, offering an apology. I shouldn't have blown up like that. It

*Alpha Ruso's POV*"Hi, I'm..." I paused for a while. If she didn't know who I was then revealing who I am to her now might just cause her to run away.... again.She had already done it once, and it was only by sheer miracle I found her. Who knew where she'd run off to next. And I wasn't about chasing her, she wasn't worth it. So I needed to keep tabs on her, she needed to pay for sins, to beg. This spoiled brat needed to be humbled– humiliated, just as she had done to me.No doubt her father had something to do with her escape just so he could make me look bad, but joke's on him because now I have her and I'll definitely make her pay.... not here, not now, not yet, so I couldn't scare her. The discomfort Kiro felt towards my thought process, flowed through me, but he dared not object. "I doubt she knows our first name. No one outside of our circle does." Kiro chimed in, quickly coming to my rescue. He was right.An alpha was seldomly referred to by their first name. "I'm Kain." I f
