last update Dernière mise à jour: 2025-11-16 13:38:54

(Aria’s POV)

The clearing shook as the Devourer’s shadow took shape, its form flickering between smoke and something vaguely humanoid, tall enough to swallow the treetops, wrong enough to make the ground tilt beneath my feet. Every breath dragged knives down my throat, but I didn’t move.

If I moved, I’d run.

If I ran, I’d doom them all.

Moonlight swirled around my hands, unsteady but present. The goddess’s essence unfurled through me, cold as winter and old enough to make my bones feel borrowed.

Stand, she commanded.

Her voice was a blade.

Sharp. Final.

The Devourer reached toward me with a hand made of dissolving night, fingers elongating, dripping shadows like ink.

You took what was mine.

His voice shuddered through the trees, rattling leaves from branches.

“I took nothing,” I said, though my voice strained. “You lost the right to this world when the seals bound you.”

Bound, yes.

A tremor rippled outward as he stepped forward and if it could be called walking.

But not forgotten. And

  • Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump   Chapter One Hundred and One - The Wards Tremble

    Aria’s weight in my arms should have soothed me.It didn’t.Every step toward the estate only sharpened the fury threading through my veins, tempering it into something colder, more lethal. Not rage anymore.Purpose.The kind that doesn’t fade. The kind that ends with bodies on the ground.Aria exhaled against my collarbone, soft, steadying. She was trying to calm me and her, the one who’d been ambushed, who should’ve been clinging to consciousness instead of worry over what storm she’d woken in me.I tightened my hold anyway.She felt too light. Too breakable. And the magic clinging to her skin was wrong, like frost crawling across warm glass.The Devourer’s touch always left a residue.And I hated that I could feel it on her.When we broke through the last line of trees, the estate lights flared across her face, painting gold across the bruised imprint on her arm.My wolf snarled inside me.Aria stirred. “Kael… you don’t have to carry me. I can walk.”“You’re staying where you are,”

  • Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump   Chapter One Hundred - The Monster Beneath My Skin

    ( Kael’s POV ) The night tasted like iron.I felt it before I heard it, Aria’s pulse, sharp and wrong, spiking through the bond like a blade dragged across the inside of my ribs. I was only halfway across the estate grounds when it hit me, the sensation slamming into my spine hard enough that my knees nearly buckled.Not fear.Not pain.A bruise, dark cocktail of both, wrapped in something I hated more than any enemy I’d ever faced. Helplessness. Hers.The moment it flared, everything human in me snapped backward like a yanked chain.The wolf surged forward.I didn’t fight it.I let it take me.One second I was running upright, breaths ripping through my lungs, the next I was hitting the ground on all fours, claws carving deep gouges into the dirt as I launched myself forward. Branches slapped my fur, stones shredded under my weight, and still it wasn’t fast enough, I could feel her slipping.Her heartbeat stuttered.Aria—The bond thrummed, thin as spider silk, barely holding.I pu

  • Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump   Chapter Ninty Nine - What Wakes in the Dark

    Aria’s POVThe Remnant’s scream still echoed inside my bones.Even after it vanished, and dragged back through the cracked stone like a shadow fleeing the sun, the sound lingered in the air, in my chest, in the tremble of my fingers.Kael hadn’t let go of my hand.Not once.He stood in front of me like he expected the wall to split open again, like the entire temple might try to swallow me if he blinked. Magic still flickered under his skin, thin, volatile sparks, and every so often he winced, barely noticeable.Except to me.“Kael,” I whispered, “you’re hurt.”“I’m fine.”He wasn’t.A Remnant had tried to hollow him out from the inside. No one was fine after that.But I didn’t push yet.I couldn’t.Not while the room still felt like a held breath waiting to collapse.Lira rose shakily from the floor, wiping blood from her nose. “We need to move,” she said, voice thin. “Now. Before something else decides to try its luck.”Kael didn’t look at her. His gaze stayed locked on the cracked

  • Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump   Chapter Ninty Eight - Teeth of the Remnant

    ( Kael’s POV )The wards screamed.Not with sound, wards never screamed with sound, but with pressure, a sickening shift in the air that told me something ancient and starving was pushing its way into our world.Aria’s fingers tightened in mine.Too cold.Too fragile.Too important.I didn’t let go.Lira stumbled back from the cracked wall, sigils still burning faintly across her palms. “Kael, it’s halfway through the veil—”“I know.” My voice was steady, but inside my chest something was tearing itself apart. “Stay behind me.”A snarl rose in my throat before I could stop it. A response. Instinctive. Territorial. The same instinct that had been pulling at me ever since Aria’s second heartbeat started syncing to mine.But now it roared.The stone split wider.Black fog poured through the crack with no shape, no form, just hunger made visible. It crawled across the floor like spilled oil, tendrils tasting the air, reaching for—Her.Always her.Aria’s breath hitched, but she didn’t st

  • Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump   Chapter Ninty Seven - When the Remnant Breaks Through

    The world didn’t explode.It peeled.Stone split like wet paper, tearing open in a jagged, spiraling line behind Lira as the wall bowed inward and not collapsing, not shattering. Unweaving. Threads of wardlight snapped one by one in bright, stinging flashes that lit the room like lightning.Lira dove aside with a startled cry. Kael yanked me behind him, blade up, aura flaring so violently the lantern flames bent away from him.The tear widened.And something crawled through.Not a creature. Not a shape.A hunger wearing form.It dragged itself into the room like smoke forced into bones and limbs too long, motions too smooth. Every part of it vibrated with a wrongness that made the hairs on my arms rise. Its face was nothing but shifting fragments of white-blue shimmer, as if a dozen half-formed souls were pressing forward at once.My second heartbeat slammed against my ribs.not itnot kinconsumeIt wasn’t afraid.It was furious.Kael stepped forward, blade blazing molten gold. “Aria

    Sleep didn’t find me.Not even close.Kael stayed near, close enough that the heat of him brushed my skin every time I drew a breath, but even his presence couldn’t quiet the restless cold that pulsed in my chest. That second heartbeat. That uninvited companion.That ancient thing.We stayed inside one of the inner temple rooms, the ones layered in old wards that hummed faintly through the walls. They were supposed to keep outside forces out.But nothing could keep what was inside me from stirring.Kael watched the door the way a wolf watches a threat no one else can see. Muscles locked. Jaw sharp. One hand was always, near a blade he didn’t need, but couldn’t reach for.I sat on the edge of the bed, elbows on my knees, staring at my palms like they might tell me something.They didn’t.Just skin.Just me.And something beneath.A faint vibration rippled up my spine.Kael turned immediately.“That it?” he asked, voice low.“Yes.” I rubbed at my sternum. “It’s… aware.”He cursed softly
