Semua Bab Runaway With The Alpha's Triplets : Bab 41 - Bab 50

MikaelaIt was barely sunrise when I got the kids ready, today was their first hunt since they arrived here at the pack The air had that sharp, cold bite that clung to my skin, and for a second I wondered if maybe it was too soon, too much. But this was tradition, and whether I liked it or not, my kids were to partake in the activity.“Hold still, Sammy,” I muttered, crouching to tie Samuel’s boots. He kept tapping his foot like he was already itching to run off. “You’ll trip before you even see a rabbit if you don’t stop.”“I won’t trip,” he mumbled, puffing his chest out.I smirked. “Mm-hmm, that’s what you said last week, and I had to catch you before you face-planted into the mud.”Lisa giggled, clutching her cloak around her. “He did fall.”Samuel scowled at her. “Did not.”“Yes, you did!” Lisa argued, her small voice so serious I almost laughed.“Hey, hey,” I said quickly, tugging Lisa closer so I could fix her jacket. “No fighting before the hunt. Save that energy, okay?”Lisa’

RyanAbigail scurried off like a kicked pup, the guards backed away once I’d given the order. I turned to mikaela, ready to say something to her, but she was already gathering her stuff.Karl stepped in, helping her without being asked. She muttered a soft “thanks” to him, not even sparing me a glance. That stung more than it should’ve.I followed her out, my footsteps echoing in the hall. She didn’t slow, and didn’t look back either.“Mikaela,” I called out to her.She stopped, but it wasn’t quick. She turned slowly, almost reluctant and her eyes guarded. I closed the distance between us.“I’m not here to argue,” I said, softer than before. Hell, it almost sounded like guilt in my own ears. “I… I need to say something.”She folded her arms. “Then say it. I’ve got nothing left to lose, do I?”That cut. I swallowed, forcing the words out. “I’m sorry. For Lydia. For the way she’s treated you this past week. Maybe she crossed a line."Mikaela let out a short laugh. “Crossed a line? She b

Lydia“What the hell was that?” I muttered, my voice echoing faintly in the empty hallway. My heels clicked fast against the stone, sharp little cracks that matched the pulse hammering in my head.Did Ryan just…? No. No, he didn’t. He couldn’t have.But he did. He walked away from me. He shut me down. He chose HER.I could still hear his voice in my head, cold and cutting, he said to make sure none of my friends threaten the pack’s integrity. The way he looked at me, like I was just another nuisance.My stomach twisted. He had never done that before. Not to me.“This is insane,” I whispered, dragging a hand down my face. “It’s her. It has to be her.”Mikaela. That bitch. She was the crack in the wall, the poison that was rotting everything.I pushed faster, almost running now, following the faint sound of chatter coming from the yard. My chest was tight, breaths shallow, each step fueled by rage and panic.When I reached the edge of the yard, I slowed, forcing myself into the shadows

RyanThe fire cracked steady in the fireplace, throwing enough warmth that I almost felt like I could relax.I sat at the long table in one of my private dining hall with my kids lined up in front of me, bowls of food so full I wondered if they could finish half of it. Venison, bread, vegetables, anything I could think off.Real food. They tore into it like they hadn’t eaten in weeks, laughing, talking over each other and spilling crumbs everywhere.God… this. This right here. I don’t even know the last time I saw something so simple.Declan puffed his chest out, waving his hand like he was sneaking through trees. “I spotted the deer first. I told them to stay low, but no one listened.”Samuel shoved him with his shoulder. “You didn’t tell us anything. You just crouched like some weirdo.”“Yeah, but my arrow hit cleaner than yours,” Declan shot back, voice high with pride.Lisa, never one to be left out leaned forward with bread still in her hand. “No, mine was fastest. You didn’t eve

Ryan“Silvermoon Pack? Why the hell would they need to attend our celebration?" I asked Max who had just told me about The Silvermoon pack Alpha wanting an invitation to the party.“Alpha, I received word this morning. During the hunt, our young wolves crossed paths with hunting party from Silvermoon. Instead of fighting over prey, they hunted together. They shared kills and also shared ground. The Silvermoon elders see it as a sign of unity and they believe it should be honored.”“Unity? From a chance encounter in the woods? That’s a stretch, don’t you think?”His face stayed calm, but I could tell he had thought this through before coming here. “Not for them. They don’t take such signs lightly and they think this means something bigger as such, they expect to be part of the celebration.”I let out a slow breath through my nose. My hand curled into a fist against the table. What the fuck was this? A private celebration for my people turning into… what? Some kind of political showcas
