Dex. Pov.

"Dex, what's wrong with you?" Lucy asks and pauses the movie we are watching. "You've been absent all evening. Is there something wrong with the pack?" She looks at me worriedly, and I suppress a deep sigh.

She's right. Since I saw my mate, I can't think about anything else. Drake and I were initially happy and relieved when it became clear that we had met our mate. But that relief quickly disappeared when it dawned on me that she is human. Not only that, but even worse, she already has someone else's child. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but when I thought about my future, I saw a different picture.

I have no idea what movie we are watching; all I can think about is her. And to Lucy, I don't want to hurt her. Yesterday, we discussed when we were going to announce that I would take her as my chosen mate and that that automatically meant that she would become the Luna of the pack. And now I have to tell her that I have met my fated mate after all.

And if that isn't

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 42

    Chapter 42 - Dex. Pov.We're driving through one of the city's wealthiest neighborhoods, searching for the house in the photo. How Alex ended up here is a mystery to me. There are two possibilities: he's either incredibly well-connected or he blackmailed a family into letting him use their house. I'm not sure which option I'm hoping for. I hope an innocent family doesn't get caught, but if he knows the people... We could easily be ambushed. While Ronan and I search for the house, Bruce and Reece scan the area, keeping an eye out for anything unusual.On the way here, we discussed all sorts of different scenarios. We slowly drive through the streets. Fortunately, it's quiet on the street, and we don't stand out."There it is!" I say, pointing to a corner house at the end of the street. At first glance, nothing seems unusual. The house seems abandoned. There are no lights on, and although the house appears to have several private parking spaces, they are all empty. But appearances can b

    Chapter 41 - Dex. Pov.The panic in Ronan's voice sends all sorts of doomsday scenarios through my head. She's changed her mind; guilt has made her decide to stay with Bruce after all. The thought that Ronan might have found them kissing or intimately entwined makes my heart feel like it's breaking. "Calm down, maybe it's something else," Drake remarks, but he doesn't sound entirely convinced. I go along with it anyway, if only to keep myself going. "Yeah, you're right. If that were really the case, we would have felt it.""Dex, did you hear me?" Ronan asks again, more urgently. I want to tell him I'm coming and ask what's going on. But before I can, I hear him in my head again. "Hurry! He took her." I was already on my way downstairs, but at those words, I lose control. I can't think anymore, and Drake takes control. He storms downstairs, overcome with rage. It's a wonder he thinks about giving Claire's baby monitor to one of the omegas we encounter.It's a wonder I even realize he's

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 40

    Chapter 40 - Dex pov."Please tell me you're not stupid enough to let her go alone," Drake's voice echoes in my mind."What? No, of course not!" I reply, offended. No way in hell am I letting her go alone. I'm trying to decide whether to go after her myself or let Ronan or Reece follow her. If it were up to me, I would have already gone after her. I hope she didn't notice my irritation at her concern for Bruce. The fact that she was hurting because he was hurting irritates me. And yes, I know she doesn't feel the connection the way we do, that she can't just turn off her feelings for Bruce, but it sucks. I can't ignore my jealousy. I was about to go after her when I realized I couldn't leave Claire unsupervised.Would she mind if I let someone else watch her daughter? That was her original suggestion. "Are you stupid?" Drake asks as I consider my options."What?" His comment confuses me. I’m trying to find a way to go after our mate and keep my promise."Order the Beta or Gamma to fol

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 39

    Chapter 39 Ronan and Reece are already waiting for us when we arrive at Dex’s office. My stomach is a knot of nerves, and my hands are starting to sweat. I know this is necessary, but I'm starting to doubt our decision. Is it the right time to tell? But then again, will it ever be the right time? Probably not…We enter the room without saying a word. We all dread what is coming. “I’m sorry, Lilly, but Beth can’t make it. Something came up at the B&B,” Ronan says, and I nod.We sit in silence, and after a couple of minutes, there’s a knock on the door. I feel nauseous.Bruce enters, followed by Lucy. Both have worried looks in their eyes. Bruce starts to walk over to me, but Dex interrupts him by telling them to sit down. He sits down, frowning. "What's going on? Did something happen?" Lucy asks as she sits down, too. "Is it Alex? Did you find him?" Bruce asks before we can answer."Yes and no," Dex answers curtly. "But that's not why you're here." Dex and Ronan exchange a glance, and

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 38

    Chapter 38 - Lilly’s pov.We spend the rest of the afternoon reviewing footage, hoping to figure out where Alex is hiding. By the end of the afternoon, Dex is so frustrated that he angrily slams his laptop shut. Usually, I'm happy when I'm proven right, but in this case, I wish I wasn't. Alex and the mysterious woman are popping up all over the city. There's no way to tell where he is. The only thing we've learned is that it appears the woman is indeed Alex's girlfriend.It's only when we leave the office that the fact that Dex and I are mates comes up again. Or rather, the conversation that needs to happen. Dex has already instructed Lucy, Bruce, and Beth to come to his office in the pack house after dinner. Reece suggested we do it right away when we get back, but I want to spend some time with Claire first. Thankfully, he understood why I don't want Claire there."I'm going to pick Claire up from daycare, will you come with me?" I ask Dex as we're on our way downstairs. He shakes h

  • Running away to Destiny   Chapter 37

    Chapter 37 - Dex. Pov.To say I'm quite frustrated that Lilly and I were interrupted for the second time is an understatement. The moment I heard Ronan's voice in my head, I wanted to block it out. Only the urgency in his voice and the fact that he quickly mentioned Alex's name stopped me. After this morning, I was already struggling to contain myself when we were alone. I didn't want to give her the wrong idea, but after her comment about multiple men and the fact that I could feel her getting aroused, I lost control. I wanted to rip her clothes off and bury myself deep inside her. My cock reacts to my thoughts, and I curse under my breath. Hearing her chuckle, I look to the side; she's looking at me innocently. I can still smell her arousal; it's even worse in the car, and I have to force myself to think about the upcoming task."What did Ronan say?" Lilly asks, probably to distract herself. "Just that Alex was spotted, and I had to get to the office ASAP," I reply. "Okay, then, why
