Lahat ng Kabanata ng RUN AWAY WITH ME: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

The horn sounded again—longer this time, sharper, cutting through the fragile stillness of the moon garden like a blade dragged across glass.Kael turned toward the sound immediately, every line of him shifting from man to Alpha. Selene felt it through the bond—the snap of instinct, the cold clarity that came when leadership demanded precedence over intimacy.“I’ll handle it,” he said.Selene nodded, though something inside her recoiled at how easily the moment between them fractured. Not because of duty—she understood that—but because everything seemed to fracture lately. Conversations. Assumptions. Trust.As Kael strode away, Selene remained beneath the moon trees, silver light pooling at her feet. The twin stirred again, restless now, no longer content to whisper from the edges.You feel it too, the voice murmured. They are pressing. All of them.“Yes,” Selene replied silently. “And you’re enjoying it.”The twin did not deny it.The messenger was young—barely past first shift—his b

Kael did not sleep that night. Not truly. The cold stone of his chamber pressed against his back, but it offered no comfort. Nightfang was quiet—too quiet. Wolves padded through the halls, ears pricked, senses tuned to their Alpha, but even the pack could sense the tension coiling in the air like a predator.Kael sat on the edge of his bed, elbows on his knees, staring at the sigil burned into the stone floor beneath him. The marking ritual—the one he had delayed to preserve trust and restraint—remained incomplete. Selene’s bond pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat he could not reach, as though waiting for him to decide the next move.If I don’t mark her fully… the wolf growled from deep inside. Someone else will claim her. Someone else already is.The thought made his blood boil. Kael leaned forward, pressing his hands into his face, fingers curling into his hair. He could smell her everywhere—the soft warmth of her skin, the lingering silver scent of her moonfire. His wolf was restless,

The moon hung low over Nightfang Keep, silver light spilling across the stone walls, but it did nothing to calm the unease thrumming in the air. Kael’s wolf prowled beneath his skin, tense, coiled, ready. His senses screamed of someone—something—moving just out of sight, invisible, waiting to exploit the smallest crack.He hadn’t slept. He hadn’t eaten. Every instinct screamed at him that the threat wasn’t something he could fight with teeth. Not this time.Selene appeared silently behind him in the courtyard, her hair catching the moonlight, aura shimmering faintly like liquid silver. Her twin pulsed within her—a dark heat he could sense as easily as her heartbeat. She was radiant, untouchable, dangerous. And the twin was aware of it, aware of him.Kael’s chest tightened. He didn’t need to see her expression to know she was tense, restrained, fighting for control of herself, of him, of the bond.“I can feel it,” he growled, voice low, rough. “Someone’s here, watching. Waiting. Testin

Selene’s hands still trembled from the letter, Kael’s steady presence grounding her in the courtyard, wolf coiled beneath his skin like a storm waiting to break. The silver glow of her aura flickered faintly with twin-driven heat. Every breath she took carried the tension of anticipation, desire, and fear—the very elements Ariane had orchestrated from the shadows.Kael’s gaze never left her. Black, smoldering, protective. His instincts told him to claim her, anchor her fully, mark her, make her entirely his, but he restrained himself, aware of the fragile line between protection and possession. The twin inside Selene pulsed violently, aware of his restraint, whispering a soft, possessive, dangerous heat. Claim him. Make him yours fully. Let him burn for you.Selene’s lips parted, trembling. “Kael… I don’t know if I can—if I should—respond to this.” She held the note again, the subtle words of manipulation by Ariane echoing in her mind: One wrong choice… everything you’ve built… crumbl

The sun had not yet risen, but the northern woods were already alive with the faint rustle of leaves, wolves stirring, senses alert. Kael and Selene had returned to their chambers late, bodies and minds still buzzing from the tension of the previous night.Selene sat by the window, silver threads of her aura shimmering faintly around her, twin stirring like a coiled serpent beneath her skin. She watched the treetops sway with the wind, trying to focus, but her thoughts kept straying—to Ariane, to Kael, to the unspoken heat that lingered between her and her twin.Kael entered silently, watching her from the doorway. His wolf coiled beneath his skin, instincts alert, protective. Every movement of hers sent a ripple through him. He closed the distance and stood behind her, hand brushing over her shoulder, grounding her, claiming her subtly without words.“You’re thinking about her,” he said quietly, not a question.Selene flinched, twin pulsing with irritation and possessiveness. “I… I c
