All Chapters of MY RUNAWAY MATE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

PIERCING GAZE (IGNAS POV) We set off for the journey that day. The weather was cold and it got more chilly as they journeyed through the forest. I looked at the others who didn't feel like they felt anything, making me speechless. This was the advantage of having a wolf, which I don't have. We journeyed for hours before stopping to fill our stomachs and rest. I was at a disadvantage though, as the rest were physically stronger than me, so after a few hours of nonstop walking, I felt like dying already. “Hey, Fatty! Eat some bread and gain some straight, you have delayed us a lot. Why are you so weak?!” A healer who I had gotten to know named Galileo said as others laughed they cast disdainful gazes at me, which made me so uncomfortable, and I didn't feel like eating the bread anymore, but I had to force myself to. Galilei continued, “Seriously, I don't know why she got to follow us. She is an extra load. Fatty but with a weak body.” “Oh! About that, I heard she is a good h

UNBEARABLE ATTRACTION (IGNAS POV) I watched the man whose eyes pierced my eyes, it was like he could see through my soul even when he was far away, which made me want to give myself to him. At that instant I knew something was wrong when my heart felt like it was burning and I could feel never before excitement in my body, i knew I had to escape from there at times because I couldn't control my body with his gaze on me. Then a chance to escape came when a soldier from the Full Moon pack attacked him from the back seeing he was in a daze. Taking that chance to escape, I ran away so fast, that I didn't even look at the injured soldier who was so angry and looked like he would beat me up when he got hold of me. I immediately ran inside the little space left for the female healers to sleep. Only a few unconscious ones were lying down on the mat at this moment, I looked around in case he had followed and only sat down when I didn't notice any movement. My chest kept beating so fast

Deep Conversation (Alpha Leo's POV)I watched her small figure disappear into the distance, a smirk twisting my lips. She actually thought she could walk away, just leave and forget the spark of the bond flaring to life between us. Cute.The temptation to pull her back into me, to make her mine right here and now was too huge. I made myself stay in place, though, fists clenched in hopes it would hold at bay the possessiveness bubbling up inside me. Is it Normal to feel this? this raw desperate need to claim someone I'd just met?My wolf growled in response, as if reminding me of the answer. She's your mate; that's what happens.I knew it was supposed to be this all-consuming magnetic pull when finding a mate, but I'd convinced myself long ago that wasn't going to happen with me. Years passed, and well, I'd grown accustomed to the fact that the Moon Goddess had other plans for me. I'd accepted a lone Alpha, one that didn't have anyone by his side.And yet, here she was…Ignas. Yet not

A Boring War(Alpha Leo's POV)Morning came with the clanging of men in training, the ripple of laughter across the camp, and the clash of weapons in simulated combat outside. Boisterous, it was, from without, but inside my quarters, I lay still, my mind not on routines and drills of my men.All I could think about were the conversations from yesterday-the possibility, however slight, that Ignas had been poisoned. It was truly a bitter taste in my mouth. Who would go to such an extent to hurt her? My rational mind wanted to shut it down-to believe she was weak-but something far inside of me couldn't let it be. She had been poisoned, then whoever was responsible would suffer. Badly.As my mind wandered, I could almost see an image of Ignas: the way she'd walked away from me yesterday, her back rigid with resolve, her cheeks puffed in frustration, her dimples showing when glaring at me. She had been so full of fire. But below that too, I'd seen the sadness, the way her face softened wh

Chapter 10: Plans and Promises(Ignas' POV, briefly, then switches to Leo's POV)I stood frozen, my chest heaving, my lips still tingling from his kiss. He didn't say a word, but his eyes burned with an intensity that made me want to step back, even as my body refused to move.It was all Leo could manage to do before he stooped down again, his lips taking mine with even greater urgency. My breath caught, my hands instinctively shoving at his chest to push him back, but the effort felt weak, useless.This time, the kiss wasn't just heated, it was possessive, as though he needed me to feel what he couldn't put into words. His grip at my waist tugged tighter, pulling me closer, and I could feel the thrum of his heartbeat through the thin space between us.I wanted to fight it. I needed to fight it. But with every shift of his lips against mine, I felt the will being stripped away from me until there was only the raw, undeniable pull of the bond.When he finally pulled back, I gasped, st
