Ariane watched him go, the ache sharper now—not longing, but recognition.

He’s fracturing, the whisper murmured.

And she doesn’t see it.

Ariane pressed her fingers to her temple.

“Stop,” she whispered.

But the thought didn’t leave.

That night, Ariane dreamed.

Not of Kael.

Of Selene.

Silver light cracking across dark water. A woman standing at the edge—watching, waiting.

When Ariane woke, her heart was racing.

The whisper felt closer now.

You’re not trying to take him.

That was true.

You’re trying to keep him alive.

Ariane sat up slowly.

That… was also true.

Selene was powerful, but power came with cost. Ariane had lived long enough to know that.

And Kael—

Kael would burn himself to ash before letting someone else suffer in his place.

The realization settled heavy in her chest.

Someone has to stand in the space she can’t.

Ariane swallowed.

That space was familiar.

She had stood there once before.

The next time she spoke to Selene, Ariane chose her words carefully.

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 78

    The Space BetweenKael did not sleep.He stood on the battlements until the moon climbed, waned, and dipped behind cloud, his wolf restless beneath his skin—not raging, not threatening to break free, but pacing. Watching. Calculating.That was worse.Because rage he could fight.This—this quiet, creeping awareness that something delicate was shifting inside the pack, inside Selene, inside him—had no claws to meet.Below, Nightfang lived.Torches guttered and were replaced. Guards rotated. Somewhere in the lower courtyards, laughter rose and fell as wolves off duty shared drink and stories. Life continued, stubborn and ordinary, even as something fundamental adjusted its footing beneath it.Kael pressed his palms to the cold stone.He had faced gods. He had faced prophecy. He had faced the Devourer and not blinked.But this?This was choice without violence. Presence without possession. Love without certainty.And it was unraveling him.Selene lay awake too.Her chamber felt different

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 77

    Adrian did not leave the Hall in anger.That was what made it devastating.There was no slammed door, no shouted accusation, no final look thrown like a blade over his shoulder. When the Oracle dismissed the Council and the torches dimmed back to their resting blue, Adrian simply inclined his head—once—to the elders, once to Selene, and once to Kael.A gesture of respect.A gesture that said I am not finished, but I am not your enemy either.Then he turned and walked out.The sound of his footsteps faded long before anyone breathed.The Nightfang Hall emptied slowly after that, as if the pack itself were afraid that motion might shatter something fragile and unseen. Wolves avoided Selene’s gaze—not in judgment, but in discomfort. This was not a wound they could bite or bleed out. It was a knot pulled too tight around fate.Kael remained where he was long after the last torchbearer left.Selene stood beside him, close enough to feel the heat of him, far enough that her sleeve did not b

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 76

    The Hall of Nightfang had been built for war.Stone older than memory rose in a crescent, carved with the sigils of every Alpha who had bled for the territory. The ceiling arched high enough that voices carried and multiplied, turning even a whisper into something that felt judged. Torches burned with blue flame—witchlight—fed by the pack’s ley lines, reacting to truth, to power, to intent.Tonight, they burned brighter than usual.Kael stood at the center of the floor, shoulders squared, hands loose at his sides in a posture that every wolf in the room recognized as controlled violence. Not unleashed. Not restrained. Balanced. Barely.Selene stood to his right, dressed in black and silver, the mark at her throat faintly visible beneath the collar of her cloak. She had chosen not to hide it fully. A message. A risk.Behind them, the pack gathered in tiers—betas, elders, sentinels—silent, watchful. The air vibrated with contained instincts. This was not a trial of teeth and claws.This

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 75

    The summons arrived before dawn.Not by horn. Not by runner.By seal.Selene found it waiting on the small table beside her bed when she woke—parchment thick as hide, the Nightfang crest pressed deep into crimson wax. For a moment she simply stared at it, heart thudding, already knowing.The law had teeth.And it had bitten.The twin stirred lazily inside her, amused rather than alarmed.So it begins, she murmured. How quaint. Wolves pretending rules can hold gods.Selene ignored her and reached for the seal. Her fingers hesitated—then broke it cleanly.By order of the Nightfang Elders,Selene of the Silver Vein is hereby summoned to a Council Review,to assess fitness for Luna Ascension under Clause Thirteen.No accusation. No defense. Just procedure.Selene exhaled slowly, folding the parchment with deliberate calm.So this was Ariane’s escalation.Not a confrontation. Not a theft.A structure.A cage built of tradition and “concern,” where Selene could either contort herself into a

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 74

    Kael chose the wrong kind of courage.He chose the kind that looked decisive from the outside and reckless from within—the kind born of guilt and urgency rather than clarity. He told himself it was necessary. He told himself the pack needed certainty, and Selene needed to see it, needed to feel it publicly, where doubt could not hide in corners.He did not ask her first.That would be the mistake that followed him for the rest of the night.The summons went out at dusk: a full gathering in the Great Hall. Not a war council—those were closed, heavy with strategy and blood—but a formal assembly, the kind that carried tradition in its bones. Elders, betas, wardens, neighboring emissaries still lingering from the last conclave. Torches were lit in iron brackets; banners of Nightfang were unfurled.When Selene felt it through the bond—Kael’s intent, sharp and burning—her stomach sank.He’s going to do something, the twin murmured with a hum of anticipation. Good. If he claims you before al

  • RUN AWAY WITH ME   CHAPTER 73

    The chamber feels impossibly small, though the stone walls stretch high above them. Lyra can still feel the lingering heat of their closeness, the lingering pulse of the bond that threads them together—alive, hungry, impossible. Even after the fire of their stolen, stolen intimacy, Rylan has not left her side. Every movement he makes mirrors hers, every breath synchronizes, every heartbeat echoes across the invisible tether that binds them.But the world will not pause. The Veil hums low, impatient, as if warning them the reprieve is temporary. And beyond the chamber, footsteps echo, deliberate, dangerous.Kade.Lyra’s chest tightens. She can sense him more than see him—a predator, lurking at the edge of firelight, eyes glinting with jealousy so sharp it could cut stone. He doesn’t just want her; he wants the power that courses through her veins. And perhaps, he wants to claim Rylan’s devotion, too.Rylan notices before she can speak. His jaw tightens, gold flaring dangerously bright.
