(Ignas’ POV)

It had started again.

That low hum beneath my skin.

A strange flicker of light in the corners of my vision. Whispers that didn’t reach my ears, but curled around my spine like smoke. My senses—heightened. My instincts—louder.

The bond was no longer the loudest thing inside me.

Something older… something buried… was waking up.

And it terrified me.

I’d never wanted power. I just wanted peace. Belonging. A place where I didn’t have to keep proving my worth to people who had already decided it didn’t exist.

Now, with one letter, one vision, and one truth—I was a beacon.

A hunted one.

Tessa’s voice pulled me back to the present.

“I found something,” she whispered, slipping into my tent like a shadow. Her eyes were bright, cheeks flushed from running.

“What?”

“In Madam Theresa’s book. The old journal she left you. There’s a page I’d never noticed before. It was stitched into the spine—hidden.”

She pulled out the book from her satchel. A thin leather journal, frayed and worn. Sh

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   Chapter 25: The Frozen Wolf

    (Tessa & Ignas’ POV alternating)(Tessa’s POV)I knew sneaking into the war library was reckless.Stupid, even.But I also knew that the scroll I found in Leo’s lockbox was older than anything used in recent battles. The seal on it wasn’t just Dominic Pack authority—it bore an emblem I’d only seen once before: a howling wolf with its chest split open, and thirteen crescent marks circling it.The Thirteenth Howl.No one in the pack dared speak of it. But if Ignas was somehow connected… she needed answers. And so did I.The war library was buried beneath the Alpha’s tent—a hidden door leading into a tunnel of stone walls and ancient warding sigils. Only Leo, Liam, and two archivists were allowed beyond it.But they’d made a mistake trusting me as a healer.I knew the scent of the root needed to paralyze the door ward. I knew how to dilute a blend of Silverleaf and Black Lace vine to bypass the sigil that burned flesh.And now, here I was, inside the forbidden room—scrolls everywhere, pa

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   Chapter 24: Firebound

    Firebound(Ignas’ POV)The masked assassin didn’t hesitate.Flames exploded from his palm, hissing like wild serpents as they coiled toward us. Leo shoved me behind a standing stone, taking the full hit of the fire blast across his shield.The explosion cracked against the rune-covered stone like thunder.I screamed, “Leo!”“I’m fine,” he growled, his voice a strained rasp. “Stay behind me.”But I could see the way he staggered when he turned back, the singed edges of his cloak, the blood dripping from a cut near his jaw. Whatever shielding he’d used, it had only held for the first hit.The masked Flame-Born stalked toward us with eerie calm, fire licking up his arms, his eyes glowing through slits in the mask.“You weren’t supposed to awaken, girl,” he said in a distorted voice. “Your wolf should have stayed buried.”Leo raised his blade. “You picked the wrong Alpha to threaten.”The assassin laughed darkly. “I don’t care about you, Dominic dog. She’s the one we want. The one our anc

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   Chapter 23: The Voice Beneath the Blood Moon

    The Voice Beneath the Blood Moon(Ignas’ POV)When I finally opened my eyes, everything was still.The sky had darkened above us, shadows stretching long between the trees, and the wind carried a low, howling whistle that didn’t belong.Leo was crouched beside me, his arm still braced around my waist, his eyes glued to my face with pure concern.“Ignas?” he asked gently, brushing a damp strand of hair from my forehead.I blinked slowly. “I saw her. My mother… She was running. Through fire. Holding a bundle—me, I think.”Leo tensed. “Fire?”I nodded. “She was trying to get away. There were wolves in cloaks. They were chasing her. She… she whispered something before the vision ended.”“What did she say?” he asked.I swallowed. “She said, ‘If she ever awakens, tell her—don’t trust the flame-born.’”Leo stiffened.My chest tightened. “Does that… mean something to you?”He hesitated. “There’s an old rumor. The Flame-Born Wolves—they were a faction of fire-aligned warriors. Charred red fur,

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   Chapter 21: Echoes Of Power

    Echoes of Power(Ignas’ POV)I thought I was dreaming again.The world around me was strange—blurry, half-suspended in a haze of silver light. The trees glowed as if moonlight had soaked into their bark, and the ground beneath my bare feet pulsed with energy.I walked forward, uncertain.Every step felt… right. Like I’d done this before.Then I heard it.A whisper.My name.“Ignas…”I turned, searching for the voice.But the forest answered only with silence. The leaves rustled as if the wind were trying to speak, but no words came.Then, out of the shadows, a figure emerged.A woman.She wore a deep blue cloak, long white hair cascading down her back. Her eyes—moonlight silver—glowed as they locked onto mine.“You’re not ready,” she said softly.I tried to speak, but my mouth wouldn't form words.“You’ve been hidden. Suppressed. But the bond inside you is awakening. And when it does… they’ll come.”My heart pounded. “Who are you?” I finally whispered.She stepped closer, lifted a han

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   Chapter 20: The Suppressed Truth

    The Suppressed Truth(Ignas’ POV)Something was different about Leo when he came to me.The moment he stepped into the healer’s tent, I felt it. His eyes weren’t just sharp—they were conflicted, haunted. He’d always carried shadows beneath that fierce exterior, but this… this was different.He was hiding something.“Walk with me,” he said quietly.I didn’t ask questions. Just nodded, wiped my hands, and followed him out into the evening air.We walked in silence, side by side, the wind brushing our cloaks like whispers trying to speak what we wouldn’t say aloud. The camp was unusually still for a night before battle. Too quiet.When we reached the forest line, he stopped.I turned to him. “What’s going on?”He didn’t meet my eyes.Instead, Leo reached into his coat and pulled out something wrapped in aged leather. He handed it to me.A document.I stared at it. My name was written at the top.“I found this,” he said. “In a hidden vault my mother left behind.”I unfolded it slowly. My
