Chapter 29

The Breaking Point

Madeline sat quietly in the corner of her room, the sound of rain falling softly against the windows. The triplets were asleep, their peaceful breathing filling the silence. William had gone to the study again, probably trying to distract himself from the chaos their life had become.

For days, she had been living with the feeling that someone was watching her. Sometimes it was a shadow moving past the window, sometimes a faint scent she recognized from the past — Rowan’s scent.

It was faint, but familiar. The kind of scent you never forget, no matter how much time passes.

Madeline’s chest tightened. He’s close.

She stood up, walking toward the window carefully, peering through the curtains. Nothing but darkness and the glow of the streetlight. Still, the unease in her stomach grew heavier.

She turned back toward the bed, brushing her hand over her children’s heads. “I won’t let anyone take you away from me,” she whispered softly.

Downstairs, she heard th

  • Chasing My Runaway Mate And Triplets    43

    Chapter 43Madeline’s POVI couldn’t move. My breath caught in my throat as the truth sank in. William had stepped aside and allowed those men into our house. My husband—the man I trusted, the father of my children—was helping them.“William?” My voice broke as I called his name, my hands trembling. “What are you doing?”He wouldn’t look at me. His eyes were empty, cold, like someone I didn’t know.“Take the kids upstairs!” I shouted again, my voice sharp and desperate, but he didn’t move.The leader of the masked men stepped forward, his presence heavy and intimidating. “We don’t want to hurt anyone,” he said with a deep voice that made my heart race faster. “But if you don’t come with us quietly, we’ll have to do things the hard way.”“Who are you?” I demanded, pulling the children behind me. “What do you want?”He tilted his head. “You already know who sent us.”My mind flashed to one name—Damon.“Where’s Rowan?” I asked, my heart racing.The man chuckled under his breath. “Probabl

    Chapter 42Madeline’s POVI dragged myself out of bed and into the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face. The image of his glowing eyes still haunted me. Something was wrong, deeply wrong, and I could feel it in my bones.Downstairs, the house was silent. The triplets had already left for school; William had driven them before I woke up. I was grateful for the quiet, but also uneasy. The stillness made my mind restless.I sat at the kitchen table, staring at my untouched cup of tea. My phone buzzed beside me—it was a message from Rowan.“Stay alert. Don’t go anywhere alone today. And keep the kids inside after school.”No greeting, no explanation. Just that.I bit my lip, rereading the message over and over. My fingers trembled as I typed back:“What’s going on? Why were you at my house last night?”He didn’t reply.I exhaled shakily, placing the phone down. If Rowan was warning me, then whatever danger was coming had to be close.Still, I went to the hospital because I couldn’t j

    Chapter 41When I arrived at the hospital, everything looked normal on the surface. Nurses were already moving about, the smell of antiseptic filled the air, and faint murmurs echoed from the hallways. But deep down, I knew something was wrong. I could feel it.“Good morning, ma’am,” my assistant greeted as soon as I stepped into my office.“Morning,” I replied flatly, dropping my bag on the table. “How’s the patient in Ward Seven?”“She’s stable,” the assistant said carefully, though her tone hinted she wasn’t entirely sure. “But… she asked to see you again.”I let out a quiet sigh, removing my white coat from the chair and putting it on. “Alright. I’ll go.”Walking down the hallway, I could feel the tension growing stronger. My wolf stirred inside me uneasily, warning me that this wasn’t a simple case. When I pushed the ward door open, Autumn was sitting up in bed, her hair neatly brushed this time, her expression calm.She smiled. “Doctor Madeline.”Her voice carried an odd warmth,

    Chapter 40The sound of the rain outside mixed with the quiet sobs that escaped from Madeline’s lips. She sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers clenched tightly around the small pendant Rowan had once given her. It glowed faintly in her palm, like a reminder of a bond she was trying so hard to forget.She lifted her eyes when the door creaked open and William stepped in. His expression was calm, but his eyes carried exhaustion. He had been out for most of the day, trying to sort out the papers for their relocation.“Are you okay?” he asked gently, dropping his briefcase on the chair.Madeline nodded, but her silence told another story. She couldn’t bring herself to look at him for long. Not when guilt weighed so heavily on her.“You have barely touched your dinner,” he said, walking closer. “Is it still the headache?”She shook her head slowly. “No. I’m fine. Just… tired.”William sighed and sat beside her. “You’ve been saying that a lot lately, Maddie. Talk to me. Did something hap

    Chapter 39 Three weeks passed quietly after Madeline and her family settled in the small town near the river. The air there was different—soft and peaceful, far from the heavy tension of the werewolf world. The sound of children laughing in the garden filled their mornings, and the scent of wildflowers carried through their open windows.Madeline had begun to believe that maybe, just maybe, peace was possible.Every morning she helped the triplets get ready for school. Ethan and Ella always argued about whose shoes were cleaner, while Evan complained that his breakfast was too hot. William watched them all with a tired smile as he tied his tie for work.Madeline stood by the doorway, her heart full as she looked at her family. This was what she had always dreamed of—a normal life without blood, fights, or orders. Just love.“Mom, can I take the blue lunch box today?” Ella asked.Madeline smiled and handed it over. “Only if you promise not to lose it this time.”Ella nodded eagerly an

    Chapter 38 The night air was cold and heavy as Rowan returned to his packhouse. Every step he took felt slower than the last. His wolf was restless inside him, clawing to be let out, but he fought to keep control. He had done what he thought was right by letting Madeline go, yet nothing about it felt right. It felt like something had been ripped out of him.When he entered his room, the silence was unbearable. The scent of Madeline still lingered faintly on his bed sheets. He sat on the edge of the bed and pressed his palm against his chest as pain tore through him. It was not physical pain. It was deeper. It was the pain of a bond breaking.His wolf howled inside him, resisting it, refusing to let go of their mate. Rowan clenched his jaw and forced a deep breath. “Calm down,” he whispered to himself. “She made her choice.”But his wolf did not listen. He could feel the animal in him trembling with rage and sorrow. His hands shook as his eyes glowed gold. He stood up and punched the
