All Chapters of CHASING HIS RUNAWAY MATE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Xander’s POVI sat on the chair in my office; the office seemed oddly quiet today, or was it my imagination? The weight of my decisions today still made my heart feel heavy. It was as if my whole body was shaking internally— probably a travel of anger from my confrontation with Beatrice. I wonder if I kept doing this to her. Every time I got home, I sniffed her clothes and longed for her body, but anytime I saw her, my cruelty was not under control. She's even my mate, for that matter.Oh my Goodness, I'm so exhausted! It had been hours since I had rejected her proposal— this should be her fifth attempt to impress me, though I fully knew nothing was wrong with the first proposal.I closed my eyes and leaned back in the chair, taking a long, slow breath. I had thrown the proposal aside without thinking, frustration clouding my judgment. But now that I was alone, the anger had dissipated into something deeper—something I couldn't quite understand or fathom. Maybe it was guilt. Maybe i

Beatrice's POVI don't even care if I was putting him in danger now. I only need to go back and stay back because apart from his cruelty, he isn't totally inhumane and he is even my mate and I need to get reassurance that he is safe.I returned back to the hotel. I ran to Xander's room after collecting the spare key in the room from the receptionist. I immediately opened the door and I found that Xander was still sleeping. My mind was. At rest. I moved onto the couch so as to sleep. I hadn't slept for too long when I felt a gentle pair of warm hands touch me. I don't know what happened but I was immediately aroused, my nipple stood straight immediately and I had goosebumps all over but what's all this?It's only Xander and I in the room so definitely, it must be Xander and when I looked up,it was actually him. I wanted to actually get his hands off me but my wolf had completely taken over me, instead, I drew him closer and our mouths were locked into each other, our tongues were entan

Beatrice’s POV.What had just happened in there? I was in there yesterday,our wolves were so into each other, I had to endure the pain. My tongue was sore and my back was filled with wounds. All that just happened a while ago — I can't stop reminiscing on the past events. The shrill ringing of my phone broke the heavy silence between us.Xander’s grip on my wrist tightened for a moment before he let go, his gaze shifting toward the phone screen. I followed his eyes and felt my heart sink.The triplets had called and I knew the reason for this call was because they had been worrying since they had been with aunty Sarah since and I've not been home since. I think I knew what angered Xander that made him push me out of his house. I had saved their contact with love emojis, not thinking twice about it. They were my children, my everything. But now, as Xander’s face darkened and his jaw clenched, I realized how it must have looked to him, was he jealous? Well i thought that was cute

Beatrice’s POVThe office was quite silent today, everyone was facing their business, today was really a bad day to start with,only for me to enter the company and find out, my days of working was wasted?I gathered my things and prepared to leave immediately it was 6:45. My eyes was glued to the clock so tightly that every seconds was noticed.The time on the wall clock says 6:45pm. My shift had ended but my mind had been shifted onto something else. Frustration and exhaustion. Xander had pushed me to my limit today. I always thought the way he used to act to me was the way he knew best but now it was clearly evident that he was punishing me. After the tense conversation we had his office, I had spent the rest of the day buried in work, trying—and failing—to drown out the emotions bubbling inside me. But no matter how many reports I skimmed, I still couldn’t shake the angry feeling in me. He had dismissed my proposal, forced me to redo it, only to quietly use my original versio

Beatrice’s POV. It was like – A Day of FirstsFor the first time in years, I left work early and i fely really glad beautiful I'll be able to do the catching up i need to do with my kids, it has been a long while since we last had fun has a family.No late meetings. No emergency emails. No last-minute assignments from Xander. Just a simple instruction from him: Go home early today. At first, I thought I misheard him. The Xander I knew—the ruthless, unyielding CEO—never gave me a break. But he had looked me in the eyes and said it, almost as if he was… trying to make things right or maybe he realized he has done a lot of bad things and it needed fixing. The memory of his apology from yesterday still echoed in my mind. Xander Thane had apologized. And while I was not naive enough to believe that meant everything between us was suddenly fine, I couldn’t deny that something was shifting, like a whole Xander apologized to me. Today is definitely great. For better or worse, I wasn’t su
