The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 85: Lines of Marital Bliss .As though Regina hasn’t been spending nearly all of her time in Mattel’s , anyway.But nonetheless, something about the sentiment makes Regina’s eyes burn. She stares at Mattel, her heart swelling larger and larger until it feels too expansive, too much to contain in her fragile little body, her fingers trembling at the sheer magnitude of her emotions.Mattel, who had only learned to linger at the unobtrusive edges and corners, somewhere out of sight, somewhere where he wouldn’t be in the way.Regina had never had such a space of her own.Nothing so grand, never something so- permanent. Nothing that would mark her presence, in a way that carved out a place for her and her alone.Dimly, Regina registers the sensation of blood rushing in her ears, but all she can focus on is - her entire vision tunneling and narrowing down to see only - Mattel.Mattel, the Shadowed Beast.Mattel, the man who had saved her life in ex

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 87: On the run again .Shouts echo down the hall of the castle, the sounds of swords clashing and cannon fire filling the air as a battle rages on all sides. Outside, the alpha king can hear his men dying, can smell blood, smoke, and sweat, but he can’t focus on that.Here, in the dark, in a secret corner of the castle hidden behind a painting and a cleverly placed curtain, he’s hiding with his wife. The omega king of the western kingdom is in labor, covered in sweat, and trying very, very hard not to scream.Mattel knows his wife wants to scream, needs to scream, but she can’t. This room is secret, invisible to the outside, but it is not soundproof, and there’s no telling where the enemy might be lurking. No one can know what’s happening in here, no one can ever find out beyond the the king, the queen, their healers, and their most trusted advisor.All he can do is hold his wife’s hand, letting yer squeeze as hard as ehe wants while his othe
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 88: Till we meet .In the corner of the room, Lionel and Castile are hiding their supplies, bagging them up in a single, leather satchel. Everything, including the bloodied rags they’d used to clean both her and her daughter goes into hiding, as they must, given they’re going to be fleeing the castle in a matter of minutes.Regina doesn’t want to think about that, though. For just a few moments, she wants to pretend she’s going to get to spend her next days at Mattel’s side, that she’s going to get to raise this baby with him with any degree of certainty, and she can’t do that if she thinks of their doctors already preparing to make a hasty departure.“She’s so tiny,” Regina whispers, sniffling as her newborn takes hold of her finger. “I love her so much.”“I do too,” Mattel assures her, bending down to press a kiss to the newborn’s head. “I’m sorry she’s mine. If she were anyone else’s, you wouldn’t have to leave.”Regina shakes her head. No
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 89: imprisoned and chained .Yes, we need to move before they take their search outside,” Damian mutters, scratching his chin before he moves around to open the carriage door. “All the blankets are inside, so are the baby supplies. There’s three days’ worth of formula in here as well as dressings.”“I’ll get in first, help you get Regina inside,” Lionel tells Mattel, then when the King gives him a nod, he bows his head, and steps into the carriage, sitting on the bench across from the makeshift bed a Damian has laid out for the omega before extending his arms toward her. “Bring her in.”Together, he and Mattel place her down on the carriage bed, the omega groaning from how much her body aches. But she never lets go of her baby, one of her hands also remaining firm on Mattel as Castile hops in behind her, the three alphas helping spread blankets over Regina and the baby as Jana and work to finish preparations on the horses outside.She can hear
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 90: Whatever shall be .The simultaneous feeling of joy at being a father and the sorrow at the loss of his wife and baby is already exhausting. A part of him wants to start thinking of names, Sandra, Ari, hell, just calling her “Baby,” even? But he’s too upset to think. He can barely even focus.Down the hall, there’s shouting, and he forces himself to wipe his tears, rushing toward the cell door as he hears banging and shuffling. He gets there just in time to see guards dressed in the enemy’s colors and symbols carrying a limp Jana in their arms.“Jana!” he cries, but before he can worry about his friend, the omega is thrown into the cell with him. All he can do is watch as he collapses, unconscious, with a bruised eye and a split lip facing the ceiling, then he hears a throat clear, and suddenly Imari, now king of the north, is standing before him.The omega king is taller than he is, but not quite as broad. They’ve met before, but someh
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 91: together we conquer .Tears prick again at her eyes, a couple of droplets making their way onto her cheeks before she wipes them away, kissing her daughter again before glancing across the carriage where Castile and Lionel are sound asleep in each other’s arms. Jealousy wells up in her chest as she watches, but she says nothing.They’re lucky to be together. She remembers how they got together. How in the beginning, her healer, Castile, and Mattel’s chief of Commander, Lionel had met and immediately fallen for one another at first sight.Only they hadn’t met until Mattel summoned Castile to court to treat an injury—one Regina had inadvertently given him when he’d been giving one of his training lessons. She almost laughs at the memory, but before she can get too lost in it, there’s the sound of Damian pulling on the reins.The other two in the carriage slowly stir awake. Curiosity floods both of their faces, then Castile turns around, pul
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 92: Coming for you .The rest of the afternoon passes in relative quiet. Once they got on the road again, Regina spent the bulk of their time mesmerized by her baby. She’s fed her twice on the journey, half worried that they’d run out of formula at some point, but eventually, she sees their friend’s little cottage at a distant bend in the river, smoke pouring out of the chimney—they are going to be all right.By the time they pull up in front of the cottage, the sun is beginning to set, the light streaming in through the carriage window to illuminate her daughter’s face. A smile parts her lips as she reaches up a hand into the light, the little dust particles floating in it dancing around her tiny fingers as Regina’s heart melts.“There’s the sunset, darling,” She tells her, laughing softly to herself as the baby coos softly.On the other side of the carriage, she can hear snoring beneath her infant’s soft coos, and she looks over to find Lio
