His hands slid down her sides, firm, grounding, anchoring her to the moment. Evelyn melted into him, every part of her drawn to the heat of his body. She felt the bond hum between them—warm, magnetic, dangerous in all the right ways.

Kael pulled her into his lap, his fingers threading into her hair as he kissed her again, slower this time, savoring her like he’d been starving.

“You’re shaking,” he murmured against her lips.

“So are you,” she whispered back.

His soft laugh rumbled through her, and the vibration made her toes curl.

But then his tone shifted, dropping into something low, intimate.

“You scared me,” he confessed, voice rough.

Evelyn cupped his jaw. “I never meant to.”

Kael’s eyes darkened, wolf rising behind them, protective and possessive.

“You are mine,” he said quietly, the words crackling with raw emotion. “And I will always bring you back. Always.”

Her pulse skipped.

“Then… don’t let go,” she whispered.

Ever.

He didn’t.

Kael’s lips traced a slow path down her cheek, t

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 41

    Something ancient answered her words.The ground hummed.Kael turned to her then, his expression unreadable to anyone but her.Later, when the keep finally settled—when the warriors dispersed, the elders retreated, and the night deepened—Kael took Selene to the highest chamber of the keep.His chambers.The door shut behind them with a quiet finality.Only then did Kael exhale.His shoulders sagged—not weak, but human.Selene stepped into him without thinking, pressing her forehead to his chest. “You held it together.”“For them,” he said. His hands slid into her hair, gripping just enough to ground himself. “Barely.”She tilted her head up. “For me too.”His gaze darkened—heat and hunger curling beneath the surface.“You don’t know what it takes,” he said hoarsely, “to stand in front of them… knowing how much of you I want to pull away from the world.”The twin shifted, watchful but silent.Selene’s pulse quickened. “Then don’t pull away.”Kael stilled.Slowly, as if giving her every

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 40

    Kael led the Nightfang warriors at the front, his presence a living blade cutting through the unease. Selene rode beside him, her awareness stretched thin between the physical world and the deeper currents beneath it. The twin remained quiet—too quiet—coiled inside Selene like a held breath.She’s listening, Selene realized.Not to the forest.To something below it.They reached the scorched path just as the sun dipped behind the peaks. The earth was split cleanly, not burned but… peeled. Stone exposed where soil should have been, like the land itself had been unmade and rewritten.Kael dismounted, crouching to press his palm to the ground.“It’s warm,” he said. “Recently.”Selene stepped closer. The moment her boot crossed the invisible threshold, her magic reacted—not violently, but with a deep, aching recognition.Her knees buckled.Kael caught her instantly, pulling her into his chest.“Selene.”She clutched his tunic, breath shallow. “This place… it knows me.”The twin stirred at

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 39

    Dawn did not rush them.It crept—slow and pale—over Nightfang Keep, spilling through the narrow balcony opening in ribbons of silver and blue. The mountain breathed around them, stone cooling after a night of tension held and released.Selene woke first.She lay half-curled against Kael’s chest, his arm heavy and warm around her waist, his breathing deep and even for once. In sleep, the Alpha’s constant vigilance loosened its grip. The sharp edges softened. The lines of command faded into something achingly human.She studied him quietly.The scars she knew by heart.The faint glow of the bond-mark at his throat.The way his hand flexed slightly every time she shifted, instinctively checking that she was still there.Inside her, the twin was awake—but calm.He anchors you as much as you anchor him, she observed, no jealousy this time. Just truth.Selene answered silently, That’s the point.She traced a slow line with her fingertip along Kael’s collarbone, careful not to wake him. Powe

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 38

    Three nights later, the earth screamed.Not beneath Nightfang territory—but far to the east, where the stone sloped downward toward the Cascades. A shockwave rippled outward, snapping trees like kindling and sending flocks of birds screaming into the sky.Kael was on his feet instantly, wolf surging.“Report,” he snapped as scouts burst into the hall.One dropped to a knee, breathing hard. “A breach,” she said. “Not an avatar. Something… made.”Selene’s pulse quickened. She felt it—an absence, a hollowing wrongness where something living should have been.“Eryx is escalating,” she said. “He’s creating servants that don’t fear death.”Kael’s jaw clenched. “Then we stop them before they reach our borders.”He turned to the assembled warriors. “Nightfang does not wait to be hunted.”The pack howled in answer.As preparations began, Selene retreated briefly to the high terrace overlooking the forest. The moon hung low, silver and watchful.The twin emerged beside her, fully formed in the

    Something in his expression shifted—relief, awe, devotion braided into something dangerous and unbreakable.“Yes,” he said. “Every time.”They questioned the allied Alpha before dawn.He was younger than Selene expected. Barely into his prime. His hands shook as he sat bound in the stone chamber beneath the Keep, golden light leaking faintly from his veins where Eryx’s influence still clung.“I didn’t know it would be like that,” he whispered hoarsely. “He came to me in dreams. Promised protection. Said the Moonbound Queen would bring war to our lands.”Kael’s voice was cold. “War comes whether we want it or not.”The Alpha bowed his head.“He showed me my pack burning. My children dead.”Selene stepped forward, eyes sharp.“And he didn’t show you the cost of obedience?”The Alpha looked up at her—eyes wet.“He said you were the cost.”Silence fell like a blade.Kael growled low, barely restrained. Selene felt it—his wolf pacing, furious and protective.She raised a hand slightly, cal

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 36

    Sleep did not come gently to Selene.It took her.The moment her eyes closed, the world tipped—and she was falling, not through darkness, but through herself. Silver mist tore open, revealing the familiar expanse of her soul-realm: a sky of fractured moonlight, a ground that reflected stars like broken glass.Her twin stood at the center.Not looming.Not hiding.Waiting.“You came without being dragged this time,” the twin said quietly.Selene steadied her breath. She felt Kael’s mark like a warm anchor at the base of her throat, distant but present. I am choosing this, she reminded herself.“I didn’t come to argue,” Selene said. “I came to end the silence.”The twin tilted her head, dark hair shifting like ink in water. “Silence kept us alive.”“Silence kept you in control.”A flicker—hurt, then irritation—passed across the twin’s face. “I protected you when no one else could.”Selene stepped closer. The ground responded, brightening beneath her feet. “You protected me by deciding f
