Running away to Destiny Chapter 57
Chapter 57The next evening feels like it is coming much too quickly. The night feels different. Heavier. As if the air knows what is about to happen.My fingers tremble slightly as I look in the small mirror on the wall.Even a blind person can see the nerves in my eyes. I still want to push through, but the anxious feeling that has overwhelmed me since I dropped Claire off is becoming increasingly dominant.Dex takes my hand. "You can still change your mind." His voice is no more than a whisper. I take a deep breath and look at him in the mirror in an attempt to get my nerves under control. It doesn't work. Seeing and feeling his worry only fuels it. "I won't," I try to say as confidently as possible.I turn to him. He tries to hide it, the fear, the worry. But I can feel it now, through our bond. I cup his face. "I trust you." It takes no effort for me to say this with certainty, because it is not a lie. I trust him completely. I know that if there is anyone who can help me through

Chapter 56The moment Dex agreed, something in the air changed. Not lighter, but despite our discussion, it felt heavier.Even though we hadn't talked about it since the last time, it always hung between us like a sort of storm. A storm that just wouldn't break. And now the storm has subsided. The question of whether or not I would change is no longer a question. It is a decision. A decision for which a plan must be made.Minutes after Dex agreed, he changed from a concerned, loving mate to the Alpha.He calls Reece and Ronan over. He tries to appear calm and driven, but the tension in his shoulders betrays him. At least, I can see right through it. If the others notice anything at all, they don't show it. They head into another room, while I stay in the office with Claire. Claire is still entertaining herself with the toys Beth brought earlier today."Are you okay?" asks Beth, who is now standing next to me. I jump; I was so lost in thought that I hadn't heard her coming.She smiles

Chapter 55 - Lilly’s pov.Thin sunbeams filter in through the narrow slits in the curtain. For a brief moment, I simply lie there. In a state between sleepiness and waking up. I listen to the surrounding sounds. Dex's breathing sounds deep and steady beside me. Claire's breathing softer from her little bed next to ours.A warm feeling of happiness fills my chest. For a few seconds, the looming danger does not exist. I am not thinking of Alex or Lucy, but only of the little piece of happiness that is here in the room with me. My hand moves instinctively to his back.Barely touching him, I let my fingertips glide over his back. Tracing the muscles on his back. The movement is slow, absentminded, soothing more for me than for him.His skin is warm under my touch. He feels strong. Safe. I have to restrain myself from wrapping myself around him. I don't want to wake him up. I watch the rise and fall of his shoulders, letting my hand glide up and down again. The mating bond hums faintly ins

Chapter 54 - Dex. pov.Pride, that's all I feel right now.This woman was so nervous, so full of doubt, that I was afraid she'd run away. The last thing I expected was for her to address the pack. And man, I've addressed these people countless times. Give them orders, encourage them. But none of those times comes close to how Lilly talks to them.Her nerves are slowly but surely easing, but the pack doesn't notice. The way she speaks is anything but nervous. If there were any doubts among the pack members, she dispelled them word by word.She chooses honesty over fear. And the pack senses that. I see it in the eyes of the pack members closest to us; they see the same thing I do. Lilly is a natural-born Luna. I see it in Ronan and Reece's eyes. Proud of their Luna. MY Luna. When she's finished, she looks at me expectantly. I see the unspoken question in her eyes. "Was I good enough?" I nod approvingly, and she gives me a quick smile, her relief palpable.I briefly tell them what to ex
Running away to Destiny Chapter 53
Chapter 53 The silence that follows after Lucy and Alex have fled is almost worse than the confrontation itself. It settles over the rooftop like ash after a fire—thick, clinging, impossible to ignore. No one speaks. No one moves. Even the night seems to hold its breath, as if the world itself is waiting to see what comes next. Because something is coming, that's for sure.Alex doesn't retreat, doesn't give up. No, Alex retreats to regroup. Processes the things he's learned and incorporates them into a new plan.And Alex has learned more than enough today. The realization hits me like a ton of bricks. This was his plan all along. To lure us out of hiding to discover my weaknesses, Dex's. To see how Dex operates.I'm so caught up in my own thoughts that I barely notice Dex starting to give orders.Dex's arm is still around me, firm and steady, a silent anchor. "Lilly?" he says softly. I look up. "Hmm?" My eyes meet his, filled with worry. "I asked if you were okay."I nod slowly, thoug

Chapter 52“Took you long enough."Lucy stands further away, leaning casually against a car. Alex's car. Her arms crossed, and a bored look in her eyes.Dex’s jaw clenches, his eyes never leaving Lucy.Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ronan and Reece scanning the area. I'm doing the same, searching for any sign of Alex. He must be here somewhere. It worries me that I don't see him. Lucy's sharp voice interrupts my search. "I'm surprised you took her." Dex remains silent."Apparently, your bond isn't that strong after all. If you take her to the lion's den." A wicked smile spreads across her face. "A weak little human. You'll see I'm right." The fact that Dex isn't responding to her seems to irritate her. And judging by the glint in Dex's eyes, that's exactly what he's after."I hate to orphan little Claire. But I'll do what it takes to get back what's rightfully mine."I try not to show that her words are affecting me, but that's not as easy for me as Dex. I don't have much time to

Chapter 43Dex rushes to me and unties the ropes. I burst into tears when he takes me in his arms."I'm sorry," I say, sniffling. Only now does it dawn on me that it could have ended very differently. Dex rubs my back soothingly. "Shhhh, you're safe now," he whispers."Are you okay? Did he hurt you

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

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 w

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?
