Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump Chapter One Hundred and Five - Echo of Choices
( Aria’s POV ) The silence after a battle is never empty.It hums.Not with relief, but with aftermath. With the echo of choices made too fast to reconsider.Kael carried me through the corridors like I might shatter if he set me down, his blood slick on my sleeve, his jaw locked so tight I could feel the grind of bone beneath skin. The estate was alert and watching, magic sighing as it repaired itself around us.I should have been shaking.I wasn’t.That scared me most of all.“Kael,” I murmured when we reached the inner healing chamber. “Put me down.”“No.”“Kael.”His steps slowed, then stopped. He looked at me like he was bracing for impact, as if my next words might break something irrevocable.“I need to stand,” I said gently. “If I can command the world, I can stand.”Something like pain crossed his face, but he obeyed.The floor was cool beneath my bare feet. Sigils pulsed faintly, reacting to my presence like they recognized me now, like I was no longer a stranger wandering
Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump Chapter One Hundred and Four - The Wards
( Kael’s POV ) The bond woke me before the wards screamed.Not noise.Pressure.A wrongness that slid across my skin like oil over water.I was on my feet in the dark before Aria stirred, already reaching for the blades under the bed, magic snapping awake in my veins. The estate exhaled a warning tremor, a low, resonant thrum that meant something had touched the outer perimeter.Not breached.Tested.I turned to Aria.She was already sitting up, eyes glowing faintly silver in the half-dark, breath steady despite the danger punching through the air.“You feel it,” I said.She nodded once. “They’re closer.”“Stay here.”“No.”I didn’t argue.There wasn’t time, and worse, I couldn’t bring myself to force her now. The bond would fight me if I tried. It didn’t want cages. It wanted alignment.Fine.I helped her to her feet and threw her one of Lira’s ward-threaded jackets. She shrugged into it, magic flaring instinctively as it sealed around her.“You don’t have to lead,” I said quietly a

( Aria’s POV ) The word mate didn’t land gently.It struck like thunder.Not loud but deep. Underground. The kind that cracks fault lines no one knew were there.Kael’s arms were iron around me, heat and certainty and something terrifyingly close to devotion anchoring me upright while the room buzzed with magic and shock. Everyone was staring. Waiting. Watching me like my answer might reshape the world.Maybe it already had.“I’m not a thing to be claimed,” I said, carefully. Steadily. “Not by gods. Not by monsters. And not by you.”Kael didn’t flinch.Good.“I know,” he said quietly. “That’s why I said as my mate. Not my possession.”The distinction mattered more than he realized.The bond pulsed.Not painful. Not invasive. Just… present. Like a second heartbeat I hadn’t learned to recognize yet. When I focused, I could feel him there. Enormous. Controlled. Wrapped tight around something wild and dangerous that paced constantly just beneath his skin.His wolf.And beneath that. Fea
Running Away with Alpha's Baby Bump Chapter One Hundred and Two - The Inner Circle
( Kael’s POV ) Night pressed in around the estate like a held breath.Too quiet.I felt it in the way the wards hummed sharper than usual, in the way my wolf paced beneath my skin, unsatisfied, restless, hunting. Aria slept tucked against my chest, her weight warm and real, her heartbeat steady beneath my palm.Still, I didn’t relax.I never would again.She lay in the bed I rarely used with massive, carved oak, magic-threaded into the frame itself. I hadn’t bothered undressing her fully. Just enough to make her comfortable. Enough to see that the black residue was gone, her skin clear of shadow, her magic humming softly again like moonlight over water.Claimed by nothing.Not yet.I brushed my thumb over the faint bruise on her arm, fury coiling hot and patient in my gut. A bruise meant someone had touched her. That they had gotten close enough to think they could take what wasn’t theirs.A mistake they would not live to learn from twice.Aria shifted, brow furrowing. Her fingers ti

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
