All Chapters of The Alpha Runaway Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The air crackled with tension as the guardians of the Blackwood faced off against the Dragonkin, the towering, hulking creature that had materialized beside Damian. Ana could feel the power pulsing through her veins, a wild and untamed energy that seemed to resonate with the very essence of the wolf-creature at her son's side.Beside her, the rest of the guardians readied themselves, their expressions grim but their posture resolute. Selena's healing magic flowed over the group, mending wounds and bolstering their strength, while Damien's spells lashed out at the Dragonkin, disorienting the creature and giving Ezra and Anya the opportunity to press their attack.The battle raged on, the clashing of metal against claw and the thunderous roars of the Dragonkin echoing through the Blackwood. Ana could feel the earth trembling beneath her feet, the very fabric of the realm seeming to strain under the weight of the conflict.Suddenly, a shimmering portal opened beside them, and Ana felt a

Jewel's lips curled into a cruel smile, and Ana saw a glimmer of madness in her eyes. "Oh, but it does, dear brother," she purred, her gaze shifting to Ana and her son. "The Blackwood, the power that flows through your son... it all belongs to me."Ana felt a chill run down her spine, her arms tightening protectively around her child. "Jewel, you don't understand," she pleaded, her voice laced with a desperate urgency. "The Blackwood is in danger, and your obsession with power is only making things worse."Jewel's expression darkened, and Ana watched as she drew her sword, the blade glinting menacingly in the shadows. "I don't care about the Blackwood," she hissed, her gaze fixed on Ana. "I only care about what's rightfully mine."As the confrontation escalated, Ana felt the weight of the Blackwood's power pulsing through her, a wild and untamed force that seemed to respond to the very depth of her desperation. She knew that she had to find a way to protect her son, to keep him safe f

The treeline concealed Ana and Charlotte as they stood among the other Lycans. The light breeze tickled their fur as Charlotte inhaled deeply, catching a familiar scent - Dexter.Ana's head turned towards the direction of the wind, a low growl rumbling through her. "It's Dexter's scent. Faint, but I'm sure of it," she linked to Damien."How sure are you?" Damien questioned."Willing to bet everything I have on it," Ana replied, Charlotte turning so they could look at Damien as he approached.They crouched, looking out over the small human town below. It was quaint, with a newly repainted courthouse and bustling businesses lining the streets. Ana could hear the faint voices of the townsfolk, knowing they had to be careful not to draw attention.Miranda came around, passing out herbal necklaces to conceal their scent. She helped secure one around Charlotte's neck before moving to Damien. The four of them overlooked the town as the sun set, discussing their plan to move in under the cove

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A gasp left my mouth, muffled by my hand covering it. I was now, more than ever, thankful for two things - Dexter's death, and the alternate reality I had been sent to. Without it, we would never have discovered this.I took a step towards the large underground chamber, but Everest stopped me."Avalynn, this may be a trap. Don't go in," he urged, his eyes filled with concern."But if I was led here, there must be a reason," I argued, my gaze unwavering."I'm with Avalynn on this," Brent chimed in. "She was sent here for a purpose."Everest sighed and reluctantly allowed me to proceed, following closely behind.As I descended the steps, a soft, barely audible voice came from the darkness. "I told you she would come for us. It was just a matter of time."My eyes adjusted, and the sight before me was deeply disturbing. Dozens of people were chained to the walls, their wrists bound together. The clanking of the chains and the grunts of those imprisone

I sat back at the table, sipping my water as the others returned and settled in. I could feel the tension in the air, the uncertainty and unease that clung to us all like a heavy shroud. As Ana and her mate Damien took their seats, I cleared my throat, gathering their attention. "Are you all ready to continue?""Yes, I believe we are," Ana replied, her voice calm but resolute.I took a deep breath, steeling myself to relay the rest of this tragic tale. "Alright, then. Let's go back to your mother and father..."I recounted the history, how Sophia's jealousy and thirst for power had driven her to manipulate the truth, trying in vain to tear apart your parents' mated bond. "Everyone knows you can't alter an accepted bonded pair, especially Lycans. But Sophia believed she could twist their reality, and she failed."I paused, hanging my head in shame. "This caused your mother to no longer feel safe returning home. The tension and mistrust rose, and your family was torn apart."Ana's brow
