All Chapters of The Runaway Twin: Claimed By The Alpha: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Madeline’s POVI surveyed the surroundings first before I ran toward the forest, standing beneath the tree where Felix was hiding. Looking up, I hissed in a sharp but low voice, “What the hell are you doing here, Felix?”“Madeline…” he whispered back before he maneuvered and jumped off the tree and onto the ground right in front of me.Urgency was written all over his face as he took a step forward and held both my shoulders worriedly, speaking in a hushed voice, “I came to warn you. Mark knows you’re here.”As if burned, I took a step back and shrugged his hold off of me as I felt my pulse quickening. Damn, mate bond! I couldn’t wait

Madeline’s POV“Agh! She really didn’t hold back!” I complained in pain as I let myself fall back on my mattress, feeling my entire body stiff and in pain from Helena’s strikes.Her strikes were too rough, so much so that my body wasn’t healing too fast, and there are still some bruising marks on the surface of my skin.I covered my eyes with my arms and let the silence surround me with peace, but that silence later brought me an unsettling feeling. My eyelids were already getting heavier from exhaustion, but I sat up in an instant upon hearing a faint rustling out of line, which wasn’t made by nature.“What the hell?” I cursed under my breath as I stood up cautiously and went toward the window, peeking through the small ajar curtain. At first, everything was too dark and I couldn't see anything, but then the clouds were moved by the wind and the moon cast a faint glow on the edge of the forest.And that’s when I saw something… faint footprints just beneath my window and onto the fore

Madeline’s POVI stood frozen in the middle of the forest with my pulse pounding against my temple as I stared into the abyss, all while the strange warrior’s words echoed in my head.“Damn it!” I muttered once I recovered from shock, clenching my fist before I kicked a pebble, almost making it fly a hundred miles away.Suddenly, a twig behind me snapped, alerting me. I whirled around with a hammering heart and was ready to strike, but found that it was just one of the patrol warriors in my team, Leo.He raised his hand and approached me with a wary look. “Woah, easy.”Surveying me with his eyes, he frowned. “Are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost.”“How long have you been there?” I asked, silently wondering if he saw that guy with the same warrior pin as he was wearing.Leo raised an eyebrow, looking sceptical. “What do you mean?”Seeing as he was clueless, I decided to keep my mouth shut first until I knew more. Hence, I merely exhaled sharply and shook my head. “Never min

Madeline’s POVI wasn’t really aware of what kind of investigation or move Keiran was doing behind the scenes. All I knew was that the tension around me had been building for days, and so he had better hurry up and deal with Jason. Ever since Jonas started spreading rumors about me, I had felt the stares and heard the barely concealed whispers that followed me everywhere I went.Slowly, as it was keen on what I experienced in the kingdom with my own pack, I was getting used to it.But today, it reached a breaking point.I had just finished training, and my body was aching from another brutal sparring session with Helena, when I felt something different. The air was heavy with tension, and there was an unmistakable weight of eyes looking around me, and the hushed quiet fell.But as the old saying goes, sometimes it’s just the silence before the storm, and they were right. Because a few yards away from the academy, right at the corner before the barracks I was staying in, I saw a couple

Madeline’s POVMy entire body ached like hell as I lay sprawled on my small bed. Right after that suffocating experience from being back to that place, Andy and I decided to go back and she help me shift back to my human form.All of my muscles were buzzing from the aftershock of my first shift. Nonetheless, I couldn’t stop the smile spreading on my lips from the happiness.All night long, Andy had been giddy and sassy, ten times happier than I, but she finally went quiet and retreated to the back of my mind, allowing me a moment of peace.But despite that, I still felt sleepless as my thoughts spun wildly back at that name Francine uttered… “Keidun.”That name echoed in my head as if a broken cassette was repeatedly being played in my mind.It’s still on my mind, but I guess my body finally felt the same exhaustion I was feeling, and my eyelids finally grew heavier until darkness consumed me into a deep slumber.I was in my own oblivion when I suddenly felt suffocated, and my eyes sn
