I watched as Keith dragged her with chains out of the council room. My blood burned with anger and my heart wrenched painfully. All eyes were on me as I stood in the council room watching my husband drag a woman outside that I knew he still loved.

The humiliation!

I wanted to claw at her, gouge her eyes out until she could not see anymore.

  • THE ALPHA’S RUNAWAY LOVER    CHAPTER 15

    Olga I watched as Keith dragged her with chains out of the council room. My blood burned with anger and my heart wrenched painfully. All eyes were on me as I stood in the council room watching my husband drag a woman outside that I knew he still loved. The humiliation! I wanted to claw at her, gouge her eyes out until she could not see anymore. I should have known from that night at the cottage. I should have known that he was hiding her. I had been foolish to assume he had acquired a mistress and was hiding her from me. It should have been obvious that it was Maisie. I had burned the cottage of course, but that was without confirming its occupants. But now I knew and Maisie and her bastard son were living right in the pack house with me. I kept a smile on my face to maintain my graceful profile. Then I walked out calmly into the large hallway. I saw Keith push Maisie against the wall and the two appeared like they were about to kiss. Not on my watch! “Keith, my love!” I inter

    Keith The seat I had prepared for her was empty. She was not present at breakfast, as I had asked, and that angered me. Still, I tried to smile and pretend like everything was fine as I ate my breakfast. “Keith,” Olga called my name softly, “is everything alright, dear? You are playing with your food.” “Of course, my love,” I flashed her a bright smile. She nodded, “We can simply behead the cook if the food is not up to your taste.” Everyone at the table froze.My Beta, the Gamma, and his wife, my butler who stood in the corner, the maid hanging around to tend to us—they all froze. Slowly, their heads turned to the head of the table. They were looking at me to put an end to the madness. When my father was Alpha, blood flowed freely. The people clamoured to stop the blood of their families from being wasted, but my father had been a tyrant. He had ruled with brute force. I had vowed to change things when I ascended to power, but I had no idea I would be married to a blood-gurgli

    Maisie“Mommy?” I looked at my son's pale face after Keith had left us. Lance looked like the life force was about to be drained from his life. I pitied my son greatly. He was very sick and he needed more medicine if he was going to overcome his illness. I clasped his palm in mine and brought it to my lips. “My darling,” I called him warmly. “Who is that man, Mom?” he asked me, his eyes wide with curiosity, “he is very mean.” I swallowed, not certain what answer to give the little boy. It also baffled me that father and son could not recognise each other even though they looked so alike. One only had to look at their faces to know they were related. “Is there a reason he hates me?” Lance asked curiously.What would I tell him? Was the man who wanted his life if I failed to comply with his father? So I smiled and leaned in to kiss his forehead, “Why don't you try and get some sleep, huh? I will find some medicine in the morning to make you better.” He nodded his small head and

    Maisie “Husband!” When I looked up I saw her—the woman Keith had married. She was tall and thin, so thin that I thought she would break if she tried to walk, but she had surprising grace as she made her way towards Keith. As she drew closer, I noted that she was stunning. Her eyes were the colour of amber and her hair was gold, the colour of the sun. I watched as she wrapped her arms around Keith and said aloud for all present to hear.“I have missed you deeply,” her voice also dripped with honey, “I prepared a special present for you in the bedroom.” Keith pulled out from the hug and kissed her passionately, their kissing sounds echoing around the room. My heart bled. My hands flew to my chest suddenly. I had not realised just how painful it would be watching Keith with someone else. I felt my heart twist painfully as they continued to kiss. Every sound they made was like torture to my soul. I felt like I was suffocating, the longer the kiss went on. “Stop!” I screamed, unabl

    Keith“You must return to the pack house, Keith,” Cassian said, looking around at the small space I had been holed up in for the past couple of days. His eyes carried his displeasure with my new living arrangement. “Maisie has to get better,” I said, “I can’t leave her here all alone.” Then I looked up at him, “How are things at the pack house?” Cassian sighed, “Olga wants to behead another servant.” “Why?” “She’s claiming the girl stole her diamond necklace.” “You said you would talk to her,” Cassian reminded me. I ran my hand through my hair, frustrated. We had sex. And I knew she had drugged me slightly to get me in the mood, but it was still great sex. And now my mind was conflicted. I did not think that I could face Olga for now. “You are the Beta,” I said, “it is your duty to ensure that the Alpha and his family stay in line. So do your job. Talk to her yourself.” “You’re trying to pawn off your duty on me,” he said, not falling for my tirade. I said nothing in my defe

    Maisie Thanks to Cassian, Lance’s health improved. But I knew that two small bottles would not be enough to nurse him completely to health. I would need more, and unfortunately, there was no way to get that here. It was already the early hours of the morning, and now that I was back here, I was reminded of the pack house's routine. As Alpha, Keith would be in the councilroom discussing important issues within the pack. But who knew? He had a wife so he may be enjoying a good morning roll with her. That made my heart sink. I hated that I still cared about such things. Yet, I could not help that Keith affected me. He affected me in a way that I could not even begin to reason. I tried pushing him out of my mind and began my morning with a long bath after which I bathed my son. Then I found the kitchen and it amazed me that Keith had made this cottage into a rather nice sort of prison. There was enough in the small pantry to make meals for a week. I chuckled bitterly because this wa

    Maisie“Stand guard outside,” Keith ordered Cassian, “I'll be back once night falls.” Keith was speaking in low tones, but my ears were listening intently to every sound. I was already thinking of how I would escape. I had done it nine years ago and I would certainly do it again. I was not scared

    Maisie I threw my body in front of Lance as Beta Cassian’s sword bore down on him. The sword cut through my clothes and sliced the skin of my stomach. I winced in pain as I covered my son with my body, shielding him from Keith's terrifying gaze. “What?” Keith sneered, “You'll die protecting your

    Keith The fear in her eyes should have satisfied me. I was meant to take satisfaction in the fact that I was finally getting my revenge. I would kill her and avenge myself, our love, everything we had ever been, we could have been, I would end it all by snuffing the life out of her. After nine y

    Maisie“Look at the time you’re coming in!” my boss, Silver Cross, shouted at me so loudly that his spit landed on my face. The action irked me, but I had to remind myself that I was in the human world and this human was my boss. Even though I had enough strength as a werewolf to rip him to shreds,
