The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate
.Chapter 4: believe me.Regina’s POV.“But I’m your mate!” I whispered, my emotions going over the border as the tears piling at the side of my eyes finally fall through.I couldn’t believe his nonchalance. His attitude was making me to hurt so bad and my wolf was already whimpering in pain.My mate was doesn’t want to acknowledge our mating bond?But I thought every alpha...Alpha Mattel slowly walked back to me.At that moment, I feared for my life and the beating of my heart paces up, afraid of what would be my fate if I managed to anger him...His fully black pupils were slowly turning into a shade of onyx. I couldn’t tell which color.He looked very upset with the choice of words that I had blurted out to him.I quickly lowered my gaze to the ground knowing this was the moment I was going to die.“You think I’m your mate?” He asked lowly, releasing a light chuckle. “I have heard that sentence quite a lot from many other females so it triggers a lot of rage in me. If I ever hear those words leave your lips again, I’ll show you why they think of me as death himself, do you understand?”He asked huskily. His voice reverberated in my ears holding a binding dominance.I moved back slightly and bit my lower lip hard.There was no way my wolf would agree to that due to her restlessness. I could feel it.He was my mate therefore I have the right to call him such.Or doesn’t he know?“I said, you should not call me your mate, do you understand?” He asked again, emitting his strong alpha pheromones in the process. The same pheromones have the ability to force any sub-gender to submit to him.I bit my lips harder trying to stay in place, not to give in as my wolf’s whimpers begin to grow.She was scared, very scared of our mate.And I was as well.“I can’t, you really are my mate and I don’t know why you can’t—.”A scream escaped my lips when i was suddenly grabbed by my chin and brought forward to him.Our faces were only centimeters close.“I’m being kind to you right now.” He muttered piercing his fingers into my jaw.I could feel his claws threatening to come out from his hands.“I’m resisting myself.” He continued speaking. “From splitting that head of yours into two. Were you deaf when I asked you a question?”“I’m s-sorry.” I cried out when his grip tightened.“No, you aren’t.” He whispered forcing his fingers furthermore into my chin and holding my face tightly.What was he trying to do?A few tears drop from my eyes as I try to move my face away from his grasp but his grip was too tight.I hated the pain that he was inflicting on me.So the tales were actually true? He is a monster.Not so long ago I was treated the same way by my terrible step father and now my own mate who was supposed to love and accept me was doing the very same thing to me.“S-Stop!” I manage to let out as my cries turned into sobs.It didn’t look like he was getting affected by my pain.Suddenly the loud sound of an aluminum tray falling distracted him as a woman shouted. “Sire!”He grunted and released hold of my face pushing me to the ground. I fell with a loud thud hurting my ass before looking up to meet his eyes.They were back to pure black now.“You’ve ruined my already dampened mood.” He said, his facial features tightening as he called out. “Zedd!”“Sire, what are you—.”He raised his hand to shut her and she stopped talking immediately.I glanced at the woman who looked like she could be in her mid-forties. She had a look of sympathy on her face.“—coming into my home… claiming to be my mate,” Alpha Mattel was mumbling as he called out again. “Zedd!”Seconds later, a man, dressed in similar clothing to the other men I saw before came rushing into the chambers as he bowed in front of him.“Take her to the maids quarters.” Alpha Mattel ordered the guard.I looked back at him with widened eyes.Did he not really want me at all??“You do not speak to an alpha unless spoken to.” He said seriously, his every word laced with venom.And at that moment, I hated him.Hatred rushed in my veins towards the moon goddess who had given me an uncaring inhuman monster for a mate.“Sire, you really shouldn’t...” The woman was saying.The guard ‘Zedd’ approached me slowly.Afraid for my life, I was about to stand up and run to the entrance when I was grabbed by the leg and pushed back down on the ground.I winced in pain as the guard caught hold of each of my hands pulling them back so as to stop me from fighting back.“Stop!!. Please stop!” I was screaming and calling out to my mate who was standing still looking down at me, unaffected, his expression colder than it was when he first appeared.I couldn’t believe this was the man I had been waiting for all my life.The one I had I had hoped would save me from my step father.Was I cursed also? To have a man known as death be my mate!I refused to believe that the man in front of me was my so-called mate.“Stay still!” The guard said as he tried to pull me up holding my hands hostage at my back.Not thinking at all, I lifted my leg hitting him in the crotch immediately as he pulled back with a loud growl leaving my hands free.“Your mate is being assaulted in front of you!” I yell at King Mattel. Pain and anger throbbed in my chest at the sight of him acting indifferent toward me. “You really are a monster as they say, you are a fucking nightmare, no wonder children are scared of you!” I spit out saying what crosses my mind letting out my frustration at him. “I have been waiting years for my mate, thinking of how loved I was going to be by him. But now I’m disgusted that my mate is a gruesome terror like you. I hate you!”I manage to say all that before a hard punch across my face made me dizzy.“Don’t you dare disrespect the king!”After that, my hearing slowly began to dim and all I could hear was my wolf’s loud whimpers.I blinked a few times to clear my vision but I was getting dizzier.My face was aching so badly as I tried to steady my breathing.It was as if my face was split into two.A rough hand touched my cheek rather gently and immediately the feeling of the pain subsided and the hairs on my body tingled.My mate.He was definitely my mate.I slowly leaned into the warmth of his hand as I opened my eyes afraid of what I’ll face next.Mattel was on his knees in front of me.But that wasn’t what scared me.On the right side of his cheek was a red spot that was forming into a bruise.If one partner is injured or fatally wounded, they can speed up the recovery process but that would mean taking their injury.Only mates can do this for each other.Which means...“Do you believe me now? That I’m your mate?” I whispered allowing a stray tear to fall down my eye...TBCThe Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 5: might be a realization .“Do you believe me now? That I’m your mate?.” I whispered allowing a stray tear to fall down my eye.“Do you really think that I would readily believe you to be my mate?.” He asks, his voice low as it sends chills down my spine.“B-But you just—.”“Maria!.”He called out a name and the old woman who had been watching since came forward and bowed before him a total 90 degree.“You can take her. Add her to your entourage.” He says finally removing his hand from my face as he lifts himself up to stand.“Yes your honor.” She replies still not lifting her face up.His hand which had been serving me warmth was gone and that made me cold.“No! Wait.” I argue.Abruptly, and not wanting him to leave, I grab his hand pulling him back to face me and his eyes widen out of shock not expecting me to do that.“What more proof do you need again?!” I asserted out of confidence. “You did this!.” I let go of his hand to point at my now
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 6: impatient thirst for bloodlust.Prince Damian has just donned his mask, prepared to head to the ballroom, when his commander, Storm appears in the doorway. He’s wearing a grim, if mildly exasperated expression, eyes solemn and glinting like steel in the moonlight. “The festivities may have to wait, just a moment,” Storm says lightly, though his cheerful tone still manages to belie a dark edge.Prince Damian stills.“I’m afraid there’s a matter with an...uninvited guest.”The two of them share a hint of a frigid smile.When Prince Damian arrives at the cold, dank holding cells underneath the castle - seldom used, and the existence of which is very well hidden from most of the unsuspecting inhabitants of the palace - he finds a man bruised and bloody and shackled to the wall in the first cell.Damian gazes at him through bored, lidded eyes. “I’m afraid you’ve caught us at a bad time,” he says. “We’re a little busy to entertain you the way su
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 7: an impossible remedy .REGINA’s POV“Wake up, wake up, wake up.”A voice keeps on chanting drifting into my sleep.I groan wanting the noise to go away as I roll on to the other side.“Come on, my child, you can’t sleep the whole day. There are things to do.”My eyebrows furrowed as those words resounded in my head.Things to do?Wait, who owns that voice?And ....I snuggled deeper on the pillow.Why is it so soft?And why hasn’t he come to wake me up yet?And with that, I suddenly became aware of my surroundings as I opened my eyes, nothing coming to my head as I tried to think of where I could.“My child ?.”I swiftly turned sideways to see an elderly woman standing surprisingly upright next to the side of the bed I was in.“Hii ?.” I replied confused managing to raise my hand up to wave a little.I take a look around the large room recalling why I was here in the first place.“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten ..”“No I haven’t.” I clenched
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate .Chapter 8: taking a chance .*KING MATTEL* “She has given you all right to sleep with someone else if you wish, Mattel.” Maria informed him.“Who does she think she is? First coming here claiming me as her mate and now this.” He rolled his eyes. “I didn’t need her permission in the first place, I have been doing that before she came along and I might continue to.”“She IS your mate, Mattel!.” Head Maid Maria insisted as she tried to talk to the king.The king stared at her with no expression in his face as he repeated the words. “I do not have a mate.”“You do and she’s the one, I really believe her to be the one that you have been looking for all this while.” Maria argued before sighing. “You have a mate, you do, even the prophesy said—.”“That my mate shall despise me.” King Mattel completed the sentence. “Tell me, Maria, is that not equivalent of not having a mate? Because how can I have a mate and yet it looks like I’m without one. And why is she
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate. Chapter 9: a contest for his heart? .Regina stared around dreamily as she walked into the large royal kitchen. Everything, the cabinets, the sinks, the cupboards, they was just so huge compared to her kitchen back when she was living with her stupid ass step father of a person.She sighed remembering that it was him who got her into this mess in the first place which although fortunately led her to meeting her mate, it’s still rather unfortunate considering the fact that her mate didn’t even know her or even was able to smell her.Which was the worst thing for a wolf to ever have. Because having a mate was equivalent to the idea of a human finding they’re ‘the one’ and now that Regina has found him, he hasn’t found her. She has always dreamed of the day that her mate would run along and snatch her from the wicked hands of her fate, and she has always thought the future person to be someone who would be her Prince Charming, someone would probably t
Alpha Easton’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 10: alluding delusions . A frown came on Regina’s face as she attempted to correct the stupid sounding blonde who was speaking to her. “But the king gave me permission to be in his castle yesterday. If what you said is true, why didn’t he throw me out after not believing that I am his mate?.”“What?.” The smile immediately vanished from the blonde’s face as she stared at Regina trying to see if she could get any hint of a lie in her but it was clearly obvious that she wasn’t lying. “That isn’t true.” The blonde muttered backing away a little. “You are not supposed to be here.”“But I am here, am I not.” Regina says arching an eyebrow up as she looks up and down at the girl finally observing her the way she wanted. “Who are you?.” She asked feeling smug about the new found gained confidence over the girl.The blonde girl cleared her throat suddenly straightening up to look more superior. “I am Annalise, my father is one of this kingdom’s highly
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 11: court me .“Are you alright?.” Alpha Mattel’s voice was directed to her as his eyes stared back at her form.Annalise stared in disbelief as if not accepting the fact that the king could ever be concerned.Mattel still got the nonchalant expression less face but Regina didn’t care.She got his attention and she was very much determined to keep it.“Ahh. My head hurts.” Regina cried out deciding to take advantage of the situation now that she had the king right where she wanted. She tapped at her scalp faking an outburst of cry immediately. “Oh it aches!.”“You peasant!.” Annalise cussed out straight away not caring about the third presence as the look of distaste was in her face as she stared at Regina. “I didn’t even hurt you, stop faking shit!.”“Annalise! That’s enough from you.” The king called again, more authoritative than before. “Let her be, you can leave.” He said indicating towards the exit.“W-What?.” Annalise spluttered surprise
The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate.Chapter 12: fear, as time passed .Regina checks the book collection again, this time with the revelation that it had been King Mattel who’d put these books here; that these books are his, and that he’d curated a particular selection to place in Regina’s room.She had already noticed before, when they were brought in, that the twenty something books were of every varied genre. She realizes now, it might be because Mattel did not know what kinds of books Regina liked - that he’d been considerate enough to think of this, and then to include a wide variety of genres.Regina picks one of the books up, peering closely at the binding, the page edges and even going as far as to flick through the book carefully, looking for signs of wear.All the books are in impeccable condition, but upon closer inspection, he can see that all of the books have, in fact, been read at least once; and that some even show subtle signs of having been read several times, such as
