All Chapters of Run Little Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Kael’s POVI didn’t sleep.I couldn’t sleep.All my senses were attuned to Elara and the memory of hokding her in my arms again after four long years. It took everything in me not to forcefully drag her back to Silvermoon. I needed her.My brain couldn’t stop telling me that I could still smell her. Before she used to smell earthy and floral, but now there was also the faintest tinkling of herbs. She smelled like what I imagined running through grass smelled like, she smelled like bright smiles and tight hugs, she smelled like the warmth from a fire. There was a strong hint of another smell, I supposed from her son - our son - because it spread all around her, clogging my senses with the image of a little boy sitting around in the sun.When I closed my eyes for the duration of a little blink I could still see her, my skin prickled like I could still feel her, the tinkling of her voice echoed in my ears like could still hear her.I wanted to touch her, to fit her tightly into myself s

Elara’s POVConversation was strange to say the least. The table had been filled with mindless chatter and women trying and failing to convince Lucan of the disadvantages of such a fine young man living in the alliance pack. But now, the chatter was directed towards Kael.They asked him interesting things, very surface level political sentiments, like no one could bear the wrath of the alpha if he angrily said he was done listening to them chatter. I could tell that the biggest question everyone had was ‘Why was he sitting at this table?’. I also wanted to ask that question. Was he scared that I’d run away again if he wasn’t watching me? Or was he just trying to make sure the situation with the war veteran didn’t happen with anybody else?His shoulders looked relaxed as he smiled and answered the polite questions he was asked, but I could tell by the tenseness of his muscles that Kael was not happy. He had been that way since he entered the room, but now it was worse, in that every s

Elara’s POVAs we got to the front of mine and Lucan’s cabin, I stood still, waiting, watching. Kael in turn also stopped walking and looked at me. The look in his eyes was something I had always imagined but never experienced, not even before I ran away from him. He looked different now, more carefree than he was yesterday, like causing problems for me had been an interesting thing for him to do, like it had made him feel alive.“Were you really about to claim me in there….as your mate?”, I asked hesitantly. His brows furrowed and he stepped closer, the heat radiating off me sending fire through my veins and down to a lower part of my anatomy. His presence was enough for me to consider breaking my four year long oath of celibacy and I could do nothing but clench my hands into fists and try to suppress it. The bright silver light of the moon reflected off his face, highlighting his cheekbones and the sharp curve of his jaw. What it reflected the most though, was his eyes. The moonl

Lucan’s POVThe cabin reeked of smoke, blood, and something darker.Something wrong.My wolf clawed under my skin, hackles raised. I scanned the wreckage, the splintered wall, the overturned lantern, the faint static in the air that made my teeth ache.And in the middle of it was Elara. Kneeling against the floor, shaking slightly and breathing fast and hard. And Kael, crouched before her like he belonged there, the fucker. His hands were on her face, and his forehead was pressed to hers. No.I froze. My heart lurched.The mark on her hand, the mark of the moon blessed, faintly glowed, even as it dimmed back into nothingness. Kael’s hand was covering it. His mark too was there, faint but undeniable.The moon goddess had burned it into his hand too, like another mating bond. Another sign that she could never be mine.The sight punched the air out of me.“What the fuck happened here?” My voice snapped through the cabin before I could swallow it down. My wolf surged forward, ready to tea

Kael's POV“Lara! Lara. Hey!! Stay with me.” Panic flooded me as I held her now slumping body.One minute she was holding my hand, making me reel with happiness and then the next, she was collapsed in my hand.“Hey! Elara!” Lucien shouted rushing to our side in an instant. His gaze perused her and then landed on me, his face contorted into a hateful yet anxious frown. “What the fuck did you do to her?” He said, grabbing at my collar.I couldn't be bothered to reason with him so I simply brushed his hand away and then went back to fussing over Lara.I could feel the immense unease and discomfort coming from her through our mark and even now, whilst unconscious, her brows were deeply knitted.I tried to check her temperature but Lucien grabbed at my hand once again making me send him a frustrated glare.“What the hell do you think you're doing? Stop acting like you actually know what you're doing and give her to me instead. We need to get her back to the pack so a healer can check on h
