Heavy Heart

(Ignas' POV)

I came back to camp as quietly as one could, stepping light without the slightest noise that could make somebody notice. The last thing I needed was that anybody noticed my absence and started asking questions. I had enough attention this night, more than enough confusion.

It swirled through my mind, the memory of his piercing gaze, the possessiveness in his tone when he'd called me "mate." I let a wry laugh loose into the still night. How fucking absurd was this? Why, when I'd finally let go of the idea that I'd ever have a mate, did the Moon Goddess decide to give me one now?

And not some insignificant person either, but a powerful, dangerous Alpha from the Dominic Pack, the enemy pack. That just about covered it for cruel jokes as far as I knew, almost as if I was being punished for doing something that I didn't even know I had done.

If my mate had been somebody normal, some uncomplicated decent man, I would have thanked my stars. I had spent so long alone,

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   His Jealousy

    Chapter 12: His Jealousy 1(Ignas' POV)The growling grew louder, each rumble quickening my heartbeat. I looked up at the shadows, my feet taking slow steps back towards the nearest tree, all of my instincts screaming to run."Who's there?" I called out again, my voice firmer than I felt.For a moment, there was nothing but silence. Then, from the darkness, a low chuckle rose, sending a ripple down my spine."Easy, healer," a low voice said, preceded by the creaking of footsteps.A figure strode forward into the moonlight, and in an instant, I placed the face-the soldier I had treated a few days past. His smirk was wide, his keen eyes glinting with mischief, as he sauntered toward me with a lazy stride."You should've seen your face," he said, still laughing casually, as if with a tree beside them. "I didn't think you'd be scared that easily."I watched him, my chest still rising up and down from the adrenaline pumping in my veins. "Y-you were growling?" I asked again, this time tryin

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   The Injured

    Chapter 11:The Injured(Ignas' POV)Morning light, flecked and gold, worked its way through the trees but brought little serenity in its wake. My hands moved automatically, crushing herbs into a fine paste, yet my mind was far from the healer's camp; it was with him.Leo.Even the sound of his name could twist my stomach, though I wasn't sure if it was anger or something altogether different. My lips still tingled, faintly, from the kiss we'd shared or rather, the kiss he'd stolen.That my body had betrayed me, hadn't pulled away immediately, had let me feel… something, was something I truly hated."Darn it," I growled under my breath, crushing the herbs harder than necessary."Careful," a voice said behind me. "You'll grind that into dust if you're not careful."I turned to find Tessa, one of the other healers, standing with an impish grin on her face.She was younger than me, barely eighteen, but sharp-tongued and quick-witted, which placed her years ahead. She was also one of the few p

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   Plans And Promises

    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

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   The Bond is Real

    Chapter 9: The Bond is Real(Ignas' POV)The silence that settled between us was thick, weighted in tension I could not ignore. I watched Leo step out of the shadows, his big frame silhouetted against the faint moonlight. Those piercing eyes of his locked on mine, and for a moment, I wanted to look away-to shield myself from the weight of his stare. But I didn't.I didn't budge, my back straight and my chin high. If he thought I was going to wilt under his presence, then he had another thing coming. I wasn't that weak. Not anymore."You've been following me," I said, breaking the silence.Leo didn't bat an eyelid. "I wanted to see you."His tone was light, but what was underneath those words hit a lot heavier than I thought it would. Crossing my arms over my chest, buffering myself from whatever game he played, I said, "Why? So you can convince me I'm your mate again? You're wasting your time, Alpha.""Am I?" The deepness of his voice was low, quiet as a challenge; his eyes narrowed sligh

  • MY RUNAWAY MATE   BORING WAR

    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
