All Chapters of MY RUNAWAY MATE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

Echoes of Power(Ignas’ POV)I thought I was dreaming again.The world around me was strange—blurry, half-suspended in a haze of silver light. The trees glowed as if moonlight had soaked into their bark, and the ground beneath my bare feet pulsed with energy.I walked forward, uncertain.Every step felt… right. Like I’d done this before.Then I heard it.A whisper.My name.“Ignas…”I turned, searching for the voice.But the forest answered only with silence. The leaves rustled as if the wind were trying to speak, but no words came.Then, out of the shadows, a figure emerged.A woman.She wore a deep blue cloak, long white hair cascading down her back. Her eyes—moonlight silver—glowed as they locked onto mine.“You’re not ready,” she said softly.I tried to speak, but my mouth wouldn't form words.“You’ve been hidden. Suppressed. But the bond inside you is awakening. And when it does… they’ll come.”My heart pounded. “Who are you?” I finally whispered.She stepped closer, lifted a han

The Voice Beneath the Blood Moon(Ignas’ POV)When I finally opened my eyes, everything was still.The sky had darkened above us, shadows stretching long between the trees, and the wind carried a low, howling whistle that didn’t belong.Leo was crouched beside me, his arm still braced around my waist, his eyes glued to my face with pure concern.“Ignas?” he asked gently, brushing a damp strand of hair from my forehead.I blinked slowly. “I saw her. My mother… She was running. Through fire. Holding a bundle—me, I think.”Leo tensed. “Fire?”I nodded. “She was trying to get away. There were wolves in cloaks. They were chasing her. She… she whispered something before the vision ended.”“What did she say?” he asked.I swallowed. “She said, ‘If she ever awakens, tell her—don’t trust the flame-born.’”Leo stiffened.My chest tightened. “Does that… mean something to you?”He hesitated. “There’s an old rumor. The Flame-Born Wolves—they were a faction of fire-aligned warriors. Charred red fur,

(Tessa & Ignas’ POV alternating)(Tessa’s POV)I knew sneaking into the war library was reckless.Stupid, even.But I also knew that the scroll I found in Leo’s lockbox was older than anything used in recent battles. The seal on it wasn’t just Dominic Pack authority—it bore an emblem I’d only seen once before: a howling wolf with its chest split open, and thirteen crescent marks circling it.The Thirteenth Howl.No one in the pack dared speak of it. But if Ignas was somehow connected… she needed answers. And so did I.The war library was buried beneath the Alpha’s tent—a hidden door leading into a tunnel of stone walls and ancient warding sigils. Only Leo, Liam, and two archivists were allowed beyond it.But they’d made a mistake trusting me as a healer.I knew the scent of the root needed to paralyze the door ward. I knew how to dilute a blend of Silverleaf and Black Lace vine to bypass the sigil that burned flesh.And now, here I was, inside the forbidden room—scrolls everywhere, pa
