The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 10: The brave Queen
Two weeks agoMia’s heart skipped in her chest as the royal bride maker turned her around so she could see herself in the mirror and appreciate what she saw.The golden robe was perfect and blended not only with her skin but her long braided red hair which fell over it, and this gave it an alluring look. She dragged a deep breath as she beheld herself. From her braided hair adorned with gold jewellery and chains and then down her neck and wrist. She wanted to say it was too much, but this was what the king wanted and she kept her complaints to herself.“I look amazing, thank you.” she smiled warmly at her.The older woman beamed. “You’re welcome, my queen.” She began arranging all her kits together. “We will head out to the Palace now. I wish you all the best on your journey from here on.”“Thank you, Rosa.” she said and when she noticed the three women didn’t leave, she added, “You may leave. My father will come in soon and take me to the temple.”The women took their leave and Mia t
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 11: The true heir
“If you’re truly hoping to find your wife and rescue her, then eating is one thing you will have to do,” Edward spoke as he stepped into the lower cabin of the ship, which was Xavier’s room. He spotted the untouched meal on the table at the corner of the room and Xavier stood beside the window, straining through it as if he could see the slave ship from there. After Edward caught the revelation about where Mia was, Xavier made plans to leave. He had thought about the best strategy to rescue the queen, but sending an army across the sea to fight and save her was foolishness. Not only would they die, but Mia’s life would also become a casualty of war. The kingdom of Foth had slaves broken and made into monsters for the army and there was no way Wahala soldiers would survive in an unknown territory as such. So he decided to leave on his own and asked if Edward could come along. They would infiltrate the kingdom, rescue the queen and be on their way, leaving no trace of their presence.

Now,Mia hurried through the field in a yellow sundress, her hair curly bouncing over her shoulder with each step she took. Her heart picked up its pace with every step she took because she knew who was on the other end of the field, waiting for her.Xavier.He stood waiting at the other end of the field with a cheerful expression and his arms spread out. She picked up her pace and soon she ran into his arms and buried her face in his chest.His arms held her securely. Just like the way she liked it. She breathe him in, his manly and enticing scent that always sent her into a state of happiness.“You’re here.” She sighed in contentment before pulling back and staring up at him.His tender hands came to caress her face, and she shuddered again him. “I’m here.” he declared before leaning in and taking her lips in his and running his tongue over her bottom lips.Perfect! She thought, smiling into the kiss as she returned it.“Time to wake up!” she heard Xavier’s voice and pulled away fro
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 13: The watcher
Mia’s eyes cracked open, and it took a while for her senses to return and when they did, she realised she was in a small room having little lights. There was no memory of how she came here or what led up to this moment. It was all blurry.She placed her head, which ached slightly, and traced it down her neck and she found it bare. It felt wrong. There had been something around her neck before, something like a collar. Yes, a collar. It was called giga. At the thought, the memory came back. The collar injecting the wolfsbane through the silver needles into her system had contributed to her weakened state before everything faded out. But now it was already off her. There was no need to prolong the issue. She knew she was dead, and that was the only explanation that made sense.This, however, wasn’t the life beyond which she pictured for herself. This was something different. Was she in Inferno? Did she deserve to be in Inferno? Was it because she gave up and felt too weak? Was it becau
The Alpha King's Runaway Bride Chapter 14: The bond of mates
“You know I’m all for adventure, but staying at a cottage in the woods is stretching it, don’t you think?” Xavier asked with a raised brow as he pushed the cottage door open to reveal an empty outer room.They had arrived at Kame, the Southern region of the kingdom, on duties to the throne and hoped to stay a few days. Mia thought it was a great idea to spend these days at her family-owned cottage. He hadn’t been one to complain about suggestions given by his wife and he didn’t plan to start now and so he gave in. They arrived a few hours ago and Mia asked him to chop some of the dry wood around because she knew how chilly the night usually got down here. Again, he obliged. He just finished with the woods and now he felt worn and sweaty and needed some relief. “Mia!” he called, shutting the door and his eyes narrowed, wondering what his little devil of a wife was up to. “Your disappearance has mischievousness written all over it, Mia. What are you planning?”He heard footsteps and, t
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
