CHAPTER 3
Last Updated:
2025-11-29 01:45:53Evelyn flattened herself against the far wall, her heart ricocheting against her ribs.
Before her, the wolf in his silver-black coat—her wolf, for reasons she didn’t know and couldn’t fathom—stood between her and this intruder, muscles coiled, fur standing on end like storm-charged lightning.
The two wolves circled each other, slow and deliberate, each waiting for the other to make the first mistake. Each knowing that the least mistake will result in death.
The rogue lunged.
The Alpha met it mid-air.
They hit hard enough that the windowpanes shook; snarls racketed around the cabin like thunder. Teeth snapped, and claws scraped at the floor. The rogue slammed the Alpha against the table, crashing it against the wall.
Evelyn ducked as wood exploded beside her.
“Stop!” she cried—pointless, she knew, but terror made her voice crack like brittle glass. She was terrified at what she was witnessing.
The rogue spun toward her, drool flying from its jaws.
“No—no—” Evelyn stumbled backward, hands scrambling for anything—anything—that could be used as a weapon.
All she found was a wooden broom.
Great, she was going to die wielding housekeeping supplies.
The rogue crouched, muscles bunching—
The Alpha wolf slammed into it from the side, knocking the attack off course. The two tumbled across the floor, a rolling blur of fur and claws. The Alpha clamped his jaws around the rogue's neck, dragging it back toward the broken wall.
The rogue was thrashing violently, twisting, snapping. Its claws raked across the Alpha’s side, leaving dark streaks of blood.
"No, stop! You're hurt!" Evelyn screamed.
The Alpha didn’t look at her—didn’t even seem to hear her. His eyes were locked on the intruder, a cold, lethal fury burning in them.
He gave one final heave, launching the rogue through the broken opening in the wall of the cabin. The creature skidded into the dirt outside, snarling once in defiance, before it fled into the trees. To regroup.
Silence crashed down.
Evelyn's legs almost gave way.
The Alpha wolf stood in the middle of the cabin, his chest rising and falling in deep, violent breaths. Blood dripped from his flank. His fur bristled. His shoulders trembled-not with fear, but with barely restrained rage.
Slowly-too slowly-his golden eyes lifted to hers.
Her breath caught.
They weren’t the same as before.
These eyes were darker, almost glowing.
“Hey…” she whispered, her voice shaking. “Hey, you’re bleeding. You need to—”
The wolf took a step closer towards her.
She froze.
But not because she was afraid of him.
Because she recognized something in his gaze, she shouldn’t have been able to name:
Hunger.
Need.
Claim.
Evelyn’s breath turned shallow.
"S-shift back," she whispered, holding up her hands. "Please. You're scaring me."
The wolf stopped.
His ears flicked.
He shook his head once, as if fighting something inside.
Then bones snapped. Fur receded. Muscles twisted into new shapes. Evelyn turned away with a small gasp, her cheeks heating even in the chaos.
When the transformation finished, he was human again.
Barely.
His chest heaved. Blood streaked his ribs. His eyes still glowed faintly, as if the wolf was pressing against the inside of them.
He braced one hand against the wall. “Evelyn.”
She moved toward him instinctively. “You’re hurt—”
"Stay back."
The command was low, strained, rumbling. It stopped her mid-step.
His breathing was ragged; his hands shook, and every muscle in his body looked carved from tension.
“What’s happening to you?” she whispered.
He shut his eyes. "You're too close."
“Too close? I’m trying to help you!”
“You don’t understand.” His voice cracked. “If you take one more step, I won’t be able to—”
He cut himself off. He needed her badly.
Evelyn swallowed. “Won’t be able to what?”
He lifted his face toward her—and what she saw there rooted her in place.
Longing.
Pain.
Slipping control, like sand between fingers.
“You’re my tether,” he whispered again, voice raw. “But that means your scent… your fear… your heartbeat… they pull me to you.”
Her own heartbeat fluttered wildly- too loudly.
“I can’t hold the wolf back if you come any closer.”
Evelyn’s throat went dry. “I’m not afraid of you.”
“You should be.”
Another distant howl rose through the forest.
His eyes snapped to the doorway, then back to her.
“They're regrouping,” he said, forcing the words out. “More are coming. I can't fight them all injured.”
"So we need to leave," she said.
“No.” His tone sharpened, final. “You need to leave.
Her breath hitched. “I’m not going anywhere without you.”
The flicker in his eyes-shock, warmth, something dangerously close to desire-passed in an instant.
“You don’t understand,” he repeated, advancing toward her despite his warning. “If they scent you here, they won’t stop hunting you. Ever.”
“Why?” she snapped, frustration and fear tangling in her chest. “Why me? I didn’t do anything! I just ran away from a wedding and somehow ended up in the middle of a wolf war—”
“You’re not prey to them.” His jaw clenched. “You’re something else.”
Evelyn shook her head. “What could I possibly be—?”
The cabin door burst inward.
Not from a rogue wolf.
From a man.
Tall, rugged, with storm-grey eyes and a scar across his cheek. A stranger - yet one who looked at her as if he knew her.
His eyes darted from Evelyn to the bleeding Alpha.
And then he smiled—slow, and chilling.
"So," he said. "I finally found the runaway bride."
Evelyn's blood ran cold.
Because he wasn't a wedding guest.
He was not from the town.
He was a person she had never seen before.
But he said bride as if he knew exactly why she'd run.
The silver-black Alpha growled, stepping in front of her once again. The stranger showed no reaction. Instead, he said: "Evelyn Hart belongs to me."

RUN AWAY WITH ME CHAPTER 111
Selene chose the council chamber deliberately.Not the inner sanctum where only elders convened, but the larger hall where decisions were witnessed, remembered, and—most importantly—misremembered when fear was allowed to rewrite them. She wanted this moment to linger in collective memory, unalterable by whispers afterward.The chamber filled slowly that morning. Elders took their seats in measured silence, some nodding to Selene, others avoiding her gaze. The air held that particular tension born of anticipation without understanding—everyone sensed that something was coming, but no one knew from which direction.Ariane arrived last.She wore calm like armor, her expression serene, posture open, hands folded neatly before her. She inclined her head toward Selene in a gesture that, weeks ago, might have read as solidarity. Now it read as performance.Kael stood at Selene’s right, unmoving, watchful. He had learned in recent days when to speak and when to let silence do the work. This w

Selene did not move against Ariane immediately.That restraint was not mercy. It was strategy.She let the council breathe. Let routine settle again. Let the elders convince themselves that the brief tension had passed. Ariane resumed her gentle presence, her helpful tone, her careful balance between authority and humility. On the surface, the keep returned to its measured rhythm.But beneath it, Selene was laying threads.She began with the records.Not the obvious ones—the council minutes, the patrol assignments, the sealed decrees. Those had already been touched too often. Instead, Selene went to the margins: requisition logs, messenger routes, secondary authorizations that were rarely questioned because they were tedious and unglamorous.She noticed how often Ariane’s name appeared as a relay.Not as an originator. Not as a signer.As a bridge.Selene spent long evenings in the archive chamber, sleeves rolled, hair bound back, the twin’s presence steady and alert within her. The t

The days that followed did not announce themselves as turning points.That was the most unsettling part.Selene continued her routines as she always had—morning council briefings, afternoon patrol walks, evenings beside Kael when the keep finally settled into stillness. On the surface, nothing had changed. But underneath, something had begun to pull at the seams, slow and deliberate.It started with the elders.Not all of them. Just enough.Elder Varyn avoided Selene’s gaze during meetings. Elder Morren hesitated before agreeing to motions she proposed, his assent delayed by a second too long to be coincidence. Elder Lys, who had once sought Selene’s counsel privately, now deferred instead to “later discussions.”Later, Selene learned, often meant Ariane.She noticed how Ariane positioned herself—not at Selene’s side, not in opposition, but just close enough to be consulted first. Ariane never contradicted Selene outright. She reframed. She softened. She suggested alternatives that so

Morning came softly to Nightfang Keep, as if the world itself hesitated to disturb what had settled in the night.Selene woke before Kael.She lay still beside him, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest, the relaxed lines of his face that only appeared when he slept. His arm was heavy around her waist, grounding, familiar. The intimacy they had shared the night before lingered in her body—not the ache of unfulfilled desire, but something deeper. A sense of alignment. Of choosing each other deliberately, even under pressure.The twin stirred faintly within her.Not restless. Not aggressive.Watchful.Selene closed her eyes and breathed through it. The twin did not speak in words, not yet—but there was a sensation, a subtle tightening, as if something in the world had shifted while she slept.When she rose quietly and dressed, she carried that feeling with her down the stone corridors of the keep.The pack was already awake. Servants moved briskly. Guards changed shifts. Elders’
RUN AWAY WITH ME CHAPTER 107
The dawn arrived over Nightfang Keep with a pale, silver light that shimmered through the high windows. Selene woke first, the faint pulse of her magic humming gently beneath her skin, the twin inside her stirring, coiled but restrained, a quiet observer to her calm. She felt Kael’s warmth beside her, the steady rise and fall of his chest, the restrained power of the wolf beneath his skin, and for a brief moment, the world narrowed to this room, to this bed, to this perfect, fragile calm.Her fingers reached out, tracing the line of his jaw, the curve of his shoulder, memorizing what belonged only to her. The twin whispered softly, a teasing, possessive undertone that brushed at her thoughts. He is yours, but mine sees him too, it murmured. Selene shook it off gently, focusing instead on the pulse of heat and desire that connected her to Kael.Kael stirred, shifting slightly, one arm curling protectively around her waist, pulling her closer. He smelled of dawn, of earth and forest and
RUN AWAY WITH ME CHAPTER 106
Night had fully fallen over Nightfang Keep, and the world outside was silent—deceptively so. Within the high walls of the keep, Selene and Kael moved together through the quiet corridors, the twin coiled gently in Selene’s mind, aware and watchful, teasing faintly at Kael’s presence.They entered the tower that overlooked the northern forests, the moonlight spilling across the floor in pale, silver shards. Selene stopped and turned to him, her silver aura flickering faintly, a heartbeat of raw energy controlled only by the twin’s subtle guidance.Kael’s dark eyes scanned her face, jaw tight. He could feel the twin stirring, the faint pull of power brushing at him like heat. He knew she could ground herself without him, but tonight, they would not hide. He would not hide.“Kael,” she whispered, voice low, almost trembling, “I feel it… inside me. The twin, the power. And you—your presence—it anchors me, but also—” She shivered, letting her words trail off, letting him feel the tension i
