Run Little Mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 121 - 챕터 130

Elara's POVI gasped and shot up from the bed, my heart pounding violently in my ribcage. My hand shaking, I clumsily patted at my chest to calm myself down.Again. Why this again?Time and time again, I've woken up from an intense nightmare and every time, it was the same.Kael died and the worst thing was that in the nightmares, no matter how much I tried to save Kael, it was all useless. Again and again, I had to watch him die in so many different ways than I could count.At first, I'd woken up crying my eyes out but after the first few nightmares which had happened almost everyday - prompting me to even move Eren to Leah's room as I didn't want him to worry - my tears had dried out.Now all I felt was intense fear and worry.It took a while to gather myself but once I did, I got off the bed, freshened up and then sat on my bed staring blankly into space, just like I had done every day before. It was not yet fully bright outside, so I couldn't go out to do anything, especially not

Elara's POV I stood by the narrow window, my hands bound in front of me, the weight of the iron chains pressing into my wrists. Every time I moved too quickly, a sharp jolt of pain ran through my body, a reminder that I wasn’t just trapped by steel, but by something far worse which was witchcraft.I thought of my sweet Elara, I could see her face if I closed my eyes, I saw the calm steadiness of her gaze, and the quiet fire that always burned beneath it. The way her lips curved slightly when she was trying not to laugh. I missed that. I missed her.And Eren. My boy. His laughter used to fill every part of me that war and duty had emptied out. Just thinking about him made my chest tighten until it hurt. He was the one thing that still kept me to sanity, to purpose. And yet here I was chained, caged, and powerless.I shifted slightly, wincing as the magical bindings bit into my skin. My claws twitched under my restraint, my wolf restless beneath the surface. If not for this curse, I w

Kael's POV The world had become a red and bloody haze. The air was suffocating and thick and the harsh wails of death surrounded us all as we spread all through the bloody battlefield.Today was the third day since we started facing off against the hoard that was the Blackthorn pack. It started out ferociously and even till today, it was still as brutal as the first day.I barely got through the first day before I unleashed my wild card - my private army. The dark knights.It was because of them that the normal warriors held on till now without so many casualties. Why?Well that's because for some reason I suspected it to be dark magic, the warriors of the Blackthorn pack were persistent and tenacious. Their eyes were dull and it seemed that no matter how many times we struck them down, they didn't feel it.No. It wasn't that they didn't feel it. It was more like for some odd reason, they were immensely numb to the pain. Even when I bit off and tore down their companions, their fig

Elara's POV The sun was warm on my shoulders as I walked back home after a day at the infirmary, a basket of fresh lilies in my arms. I always brought then back as Eren seemed to like them and I took had taken a liking for the way they smelled. The scent usually calmed me, but today it was just a flower. My mind was very restless lately, always circling back to Kael again and again.The bond between us was still there but it no longer pulsed like it did when Kael just left and that worried me. I didn't know why that was nor how to solve it.I was so lost in my thoughts that I almost didn’t see Aunt Cordelia until I was nearly slamming into her back. "Hey there dear. Where's your mind at?" She said clasping my shoulders in her hands.I blinked looking up only to realize that I had somewhat strayed from the path home and I was now at the training grounds.I looked around and noticed that Aunt Cordelia was standing there watching a group of young recruits practice their magic. She seem

Elara's POV Later, in the deep quiet of the night, we lay tangled together on the blanket. The moon shone through the single window, painting silver stripes across our bare legs. I traced the lines of his new scars with my fingertips, my head resting on his chest, listening to the steady, strong beat of his heart.“I love you,” he whispered into my hair, his voice thick with sleep and emotion. “I thought of you every second. You and Eren. You were the only thing that kept me fighting.”I tilted my head up and kissed his chest, right over his heart. “Never leave me again. Promise me.”“Never,” he vowed, his arms tightening around me. “I’m never letting you go. Where I go, you go. From now on.”We drifted to sleep wrapped in that promise, the bond between us a humming, vibrant thread of gold, stronger than it had ever been.*****I woke to the feeling of soft kisses. First on my lips, then along my jaw and then down my neck across my collarbone. I smiled, my eyes still closed, and reac
