All Chapters of The Alpha's Runaway Luna : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Adrian P.O.V.Hearing the story of my mate broke my heart. I had always wanted my fated mate. Just like Grady, and even the ever grumpy River, we’ve always been told stories and shown how great the fated matebond is by our parents and grandparents. Grady was so deliriously happy when he found out Hazel was his mate. I snapped a photo of her on the morning of her birthday, sending it to him because he was obsessed with her, and he decided to explore himself after that. He doesn’t think I know, but I do. He followed her when she went from her home to school. When he came back he was floating. That’s when I knew for sure he had found his mate. The look in his eyes, the skip in his step. He asked River of all the people in the pack to deliver her a note. I was a little bummed it wasn’t me he asked, but I shrugged it off. When he came back that night I was waiting in the living room to congratulate them both, but he came alone absolutely crushed. He didn’t want to talk right then, so I wa

Hazel P.O.V. Being with Grady alone is nicer than I thought it would be, and I feel myself relax in his presence. We talk and laugh, keeping an eye on Lily as she plays in the sandbox by herself. She is smiling from ear to ear. She always loved the playground, and would always just play by herself, immersed in her own world of imagination. She used to draw all kinds of colorful pictures later when we came home of whatever she had played during our time out. Both Kaia and I would take her out as much as we could, trying to keep the days as normal as possible. Especially after Hope died. Lily regressed into herself after Hope died, and we tried therapy for her, but ended up with therapy for us. The woman suggested we try to keep as normal a day for Lily as possible, and be there for her when she needed us close. It ended in us alternating days of work, so one of us was always home with Lily, and she knew she had us. It slowly progressed, and she started smiling a little more, drawing w

Kaia P.O.V. “This place is so peaceful.” I murmur, leaning against Adrian's shoulder. We’re sitting at the edge of the pond, the waterfall creating a mist of water as it hits the pond's edge. The sound of the water hitting from the waterfall into the pond is soothing and calming, making me sigh in comfort. Adrian wraps his arm around me, pulling me closer into him. He has not made a move to do anything other than just be here with him, and I appreciate the sentiment. “I’ve always loved coming here as a boy and teenager. It was my quiet place. A place where I could contemplate life, duty and or go when life was just too much and I felt like screaming my lungs off.” He says, his voice quiet. The memories he’s describing playing in my mind and I smile. What I would have given to have had a place like this in my childhood. “Are we still within the pack borders?” I ask, wanting to know if we potentially could be surprised by rogues or other nasties out here. “Yes, this pond is just wit

Joel P.O.V.I’m so happy Hazel followed her gut feeling and asked me to go to the mansion to look for Kaia when she went missing at the hospital. What would have happened if she had managed to get away? I knew why, as did the Alpha and other ranked members, but I heard the rumors already as I went in search for her. Someone was spinning this to look like she had orchestrated the attack on Beta Adrian to cause trouble. I rolled my eyes mentally. She would never do that. Not with what I now knew about her. I decided then and there that I would be her silent shadow for the time being. Maybe I could convince the Alpha and Beta to hire me as her or Hazel’s personal guard? That would be amazing. As we went through the door and down the hallway in the Alpha wing, we heard someone roar again. This time much closer and much louder. “I WANT TO SEE MY MATE!” Adrian’s angry voice yells from a room at the end of the hallway. “Beta, you have to remain calm. Alpha is sorting it right now.” A nu

Hazel P.O.V.It’s been a couple of hours since we asked Joel to become the Delta of the pack, and he still has not given us an answer. I want him in the position, both because he deserves it immensely for everything he has done, but also because he is my brother and I love him. Grady was actually the one to bring up the possibility of Joel becoming a true ranked member, and I had jumped on the idea, loving it. “You’ll need to give an answer soon, brother.” I tell him as we navigate the paths of the pack with Olive. Grady stayed with Adrian and Kaia at the hospital, and River and Becky promised to make arrangements for the promotion back at the pack house. No way in hell was I letting him decline this. If I had to be Luna, then he had to be our Delta and suffer with me. “I know, sis, but I’m just not sure I’m the right one for the job. What will the pack members say? They will think you gave me this position because we’re family and not because I got the skill for it.” He sighs, shak
