Todos os capítulos de The Runaways' Second Chance Mate: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Eris was stopped in her tracks by a piercing shriek that resonated throughout the forest. "Did you hear that?" She called it into question. "What the hell was that?" I answered back, "I did hear that, but how was I supposed to figure out what all that was? We are both on the same track here if you are simply forgetting." She tilted her head upwards and began to scan the surroundings with her nose. Sniffing the air to see what she might get. The shift in Eris' stance ends up giving me the distinct feeling that something may not be right right away. We both said, simultaneously, "Rogues are approaching the border." I questioned her back, gearing myself for a probable fight to break out, "Are you up to find out what it was? Can we handle this alone, or do we need to seek out some assistance?" "We can handle this, honey."As soon as she said that, Eris began sprinting quickly into the forest in the area of the outland boundaries, leaving me with hardly any time to consider just what w

While we were out for a stroll, Eris tried to reassure me, saying, "Snow, it's alright. They'll come around. I just truly believe that everything will work out for the both of us. We just have to continue to hang on to that hope that our mate will find us tonight." How can I be hopeful when there has been no sign of my mate up to this point, despite the fact that tonight is the full moon, and other than the fact that my engagement will be announced within the next hour?If Eris and I don't get to meet our mate before the announcement, then I am sure that we won't be able to meet him anymore. And I am now beginning to lose all optimism that I will still be able to have a chance to meet him before the news of my marriage to whomever is revealed.How screwed up is my life really? Just about everything for me appears to be going south. Phoenix, who Eris strongly believed to be our mate, is trying to make it look even more emotionally detached from me, despite the fact that Maddie has said

"Argh! My head fucking hurts so much." Regardless of the fact that I am still drowsy and hazy, I made a conscious effort to open my eyes and scan my surroundings. I have not really kept track of how long I was unconscious and out of my wits, but the last thing that I can remember is hearing voices around me arguing whether to help me or not.As I scan the place that I am in, I realize I am inside what seems to be a bedroom. And as such, I am assuming that the guys who were arguing about me had been successful in helping me get out of the woods and keeping me alive.There are a lot of things I need to take into account right now, aside from the fact that I know the reason that I am still breathing. But the most important of all of those is that I have to make absolutely sure that my wolf is okay. "Eris, are you perfectly alright in there? I haven't heard from you in days, and I am worried as hell." The fear in me is enormous, as I can't afford to let anything happen to her. Aside from t

I quickly and quietly get out of bed and prepare to take action as soon as the woman who came to check on me leaves, exactly as I had planned for this to happen tonight. We can't afford to waste any more time right now. Before the men came back to question me further, Eris and I needed to leave without a doubt.Eris, of course, has never been the life of my party, who could easily accept things as I say them. She had always been my greatest opponent at whatever I wanted to do, which is ironic considering that, as my wolf, she should stand by my beliefs as well. After our earlier conversation, she had already made multiple attempts to dissuade me, including more than once trying to warn me that what I was doing was a recipe for disaster.However, I have stopped paying attention to her resistance at this juncture. She is completely helpless and powerless to go against my will because I have already made the decision, and it is evident that I am aware of all the consequences that come wit

As I expected, Eris is once again berating me for the course of action that I decided to take. "I told you we should never have left that house. I told you that it was just not yet the time to leave, but of course, you have always been the imprudent warrior that you are. You liked to think that this was the smartest choice, even if you knew all along that it wasn't, and now look at where it got us! Nowhere! We're like a kind of lost soul wandering into nonexistence." She made a point of saying it sarcastically to me.She had really not been able to keep her mouth shut even for just a few minutes, and now she is here again, starting to overwhelm me with her lectures and taunting me with her accusatory attitude. What does she even want me to do—know in an instant where we are going? How will I be able to do just that when we are in unfamiliar territory?I said indignantly, "You just can't simply stop pointing that one out, can you? Yes, this may not be the best decision to make at this j
