The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 15: Elliott
“Father.” Elliott bowed his head as he stepped into the study of the royal estate where Robb sat reviewing the scroll report of the happening around the kingdom.While the princess and Alpha Koz, the right-hand man of the King ran the decision-making, they ran their affairs by Robb Ainsworth for review and approval. Alpha Koz and princess Kailani made the draft at the end of every week and sent them over to him. Once he reviewed it, he would send his feedback to them. They had done this since King Xavier and Edward left to ensure the smooth running of the kingdom.Their decisions were sound, and Robb knew Xavier had made a good choice by making them active rulers.If he was honest, he would admit he didn’t think this would work. When it all started, Robb didn’t think princess Kailani, who hadn’t had training in the affairs of the kingdom, could rule and manage effectively for even a day. He was happy to have been proven wrong by her competence and he looked forward to seeing more from
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 16: Rewrite the stars
Edward’s eyes snapped open suddenly while in bed, and he dragged in a sharp breath. Xavier turned to look at him. Edward came into his cabin to talk him into getting sleep and after four hours, he talked himself to sleep instead while Xavier sat and watch.Yes, Xavier needed the sleep, but he couldn’t bring himself to. After almost losing Mia last week, his sleep has left him completely. His heart went to her, thinking about how she was faring, and he didn’t want to slumber even for a moment. He had asked Edward to check up on her a few days ago and the results were much more positive than before. That was what he needed to hear. Still, he wanted to remain awake. Edward took notice of this and came to help him sleep. After his younger brother fell asleep, Xavier helped cover him up while he moved to the window to stare through. He felt the hair on his hair suddenly stand a minute ago and his heart picked up speed even though he wasn’t running. He had initially feared it had something
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 17: A broken wolf
Mia was barely awake when she saw Xavier towering above her. Her lashes were further pulled apart, and she saw the lingering smile on his face. It chilled her from the inside out. "Xavier!" she called, trying out a smile that caused a breakage on her dry lips as well as the skin of her face. "You came for me!""I did. Now come," he stretched his hand to her. She lifted her weak trembling hand slowly to take him but lost the strength halfway through. Her hand fell back, but he caught it midway and pulled her up and wrap his arms around her for a comforting hug. She sobbed while placing her head on his chest."I thought you would never come." She whimpered pathetically, gripping his shirt, afraid that she would lose him if he let go."I had to come back. I already lost our child. I couldn't lose you too." he replied. His reply caused a jolt in her heart. She hadn't lost her child; she was certain of that, at the very least. She pulled away from him, glancing up at him and seeing a mi
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 18: The ladybird
After dressing up, Mia stepped out of the bathroom in the green robe Ace had given to her before taking his leave.She saw Trevor and Bruno seated on the bed, but Ace was yet to return from wherever he went. Somehow, she felt safer around him and spoke freely with him than the two. He showed a more human side towards her and didn’t treat her like a commodity, as the two did.“Finally, you’re out,” Trevor, the grey-eyed man with a hoarse voice and a dirty brown coat rose to his feet and stepped towards her, “I was this close to coming in there and dragging you out.” he hissed out and stepped towards her. “Let’s go!”She was hazier before she took her bath, but she swore she heard Ace speak about bringing her food before leaving. But Trevor did not look like he wanted to wait for Ace’s arrival before leaving.Bruno’s eyes flicker with confusion. “What about Ace?”“Ace will ruin our mission if we wait for him, besides he’s no one’s boss.” he reached where she stood and grasped her arm.

The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 19: Zara's revenge
Zara’s smirk deepened when she saw Mia had placed her face and recognised who she was.“Zara!” she called out. She knew she should be angry. If Zara was the ladybird, and the boss of the movers, that meant she had instructed to kidnap her from Wahala and place her in the cabin of the slave ship where her spirit would be broken. It meant she was responsible for everything and more. She had planned this out. She had turned her into a slave and dragged her to the point of death.For what? Revenge? If yes, then shouldn’t she have taken it out on Xavier instead?Why was she the one facing this?What was the point? “Good, you remember me. I know you’re wondering what you’re doing here. I will tell you. You’re here as my gift to the king of Foth.” she informed her in a casual tone, as if she was some doll.“Why?”“Why?”Summoning strength amidst her weakness, Mia rose to her feet. “Yes, why. This looks like some petty revenge because you were caught cheating and banished from Wahala. Whic
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 20: Chaos leads
Alpha Koz had waited for a response from Robb Ainsworth, who had received their report two days ago but got nothing. It was unusual for the alpha of alphas to go a day without sending reports of his thoughts back to the palace, either in person or through a messenger. So far, they have gotten only silence. The Royal estate wasn’t one just anyone could visit. They had to be invited as the alpha of alphas commanded respect and reverence and no one could go uninvited, but after days of waiting and hearing nothing, Alpha Koz spoke to princess Kailani of his plans to visit the Royal estate where Robb stayed and she gave her backings. He then made plans to go out at the dawn on the morrow. Alpha Koz, along with Sir Aira, the Princess’s personal escort, appointed by prince Edward before his departure, along with three of the King’s guards, saw princess Kailani back to the watchtower’s castle, where she preferred to stay. Then he retired home to his wife, lady Elena. “You look worried,” El
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 21: The pain of loss
Xavier sat on the front deck of the ship, clenching and unclenching his fist in silence when Edward came out and found him seated there. There has been a resounding silence in the last two days since their father’s death and the mourning had continued since then, despite them being a long way from home. It was a tradition to mourn those born into the royal bloodline for at least a week. For an alpha king and an alpha of alphas; it was three weeks. So being away from the kingdom was not an excuse. Today, however, was different. Xavier had sat on the deck since the ninth hour and now it was the thirteenth hour and he was still there, unmoved. Edward had come out of his cabin to have a view of the sea and the journey ahead and also to clear his head. He had tried reaching Kailani again today, but just like the last two days, his magic had failed him. He concluded it was grief taking a hold of him and tempering with his magic and chose to believe she was fine. This wasn’t the first time
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 22: Terror that follows
Princess Kailani sat in her chamber at the Royal Estate, trying to read the book gifted to her by the queen. It was a part of the few gifts she gave her the last time she came to visit the South of the capital, which was six months ago. It was called Medea, written by Euripides and it was a good read in her quiet time.When Edward had wander-walked to her in the bathroom the morning of two days ago, one of the things she had spoken to him about was the book gift Mia gave her. Reading this book brought her closer to Mia, the amazing soul she was fortunate to have in her life. She prayed for her almost every day now at the temple for the moon goddess to keep her safe, and while she prayed for her, she also prayed for protection for her mate and his brother, the alpha king.It was the least she could do.She had wanted to come along with them immediately after Edward spoke to her about their voyage, but king Xavier had other plans. She was the princess by marriage and having heard of her
