All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S RUNAWAY LOVER : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Olga “What I do with pack resources is entirely my business,” Keith said to me, his voice firm. He walked out of the council room before I could argue any further with him. His actions made me burn with anger and so did his words. He clearly still had a thing for that bitch and if I were not careful, she and her son would take my position in the pack. I had to act fast before any of that happened. But there was one problem. Cassian. I flashed a smile in his direction and asked him plainly, “Why does it seem like you keep defending Maisie?” He looked at me, his face blank like it always was, “I have never defended Maisie.” He tried to talk away like his friend did, but I was faster than he was. I stood at the door, blocking his exit from the room. “You’re not going anywhere,” I said, folding my arms across my chest, “until you tell me why you keep defending Maisie.” Cassian said nothing nor did he react. Instead, he walked to one of the chairs, sat on it, faced the wall, and d

Keith When Cassian walked into my private parlour, I could not help but laugh at him. To those who did not know Cassian well, his face would appear blank, but I had learned to read the microexpressions in his face. And I could tell that he was thoroughly annoyed. “What did she say to make you look so pissed off?” I asked him, pouring him a drink as he sank into the couch that faced me. “Don't get me started,” he said, accepting the glass I offered him and chugging down its content at once. “Easy now,” I said, watching him drink, “you don't want to get drunk so early in the afternoon.” “The full moon festival is in a fortnight,” Cassian switched the subject completely. I got the message. He was too annoyed to even discuss what exactly Olga had said or done to annoy him. “I was surprised none of the ministers brought it up,” I said, “the previous ones have been a disaster so far.” “Tell me about it,” Cassian sighed, “I think we should bring the full moon festivities to the pack h

Olga“What is impossible about that?” Keith asked me, staring intently at my face and waiting for me to answer. I hated that I had lost my calm composed look. Now, I looked like I was guilty of something and I hated it. So I did the only thing I could think of to get out of this situation. I fell on the floor, faking a fainting spell. “Olga?” Keith lightly shook my body on the floor, but I kept up the pretense. This was the only way I could survive. I felt Keith’s strong arms carry me. I was placed in a bed and then abandoned. I heard footsteps walk away from me. I opened my eyes a little bit and I confirmed the worst. Keith and Cassian were walking away from me like I had not just fainted. It appeared that neither of them cared at all what happened to me. But it was too late for me to call off my pretense now. I would have to stick to closing my eyes for a few minutes. ‘That’s why you should never pretend!’ my usually quiet wolf decided to speak up. ‘Oh, shut up!’ I cursed at h

Keith“It’s not funny,” I was seated in my study the next day going over some documents with Cassian. But Cassian was not so forgiving when it came to letting go. He had taken every opportunity he could get from yesterday to bring up the fact that I had fainted. “It is,” he said, “and it will continue to be funny for a long time,” he laughed again, “What were you thinking…” “If you laugh again, I’ll frame it as treason,” I said, my face serious. That did not help at all. Cassian doubled over and laughed in my face even harder. “This is funny until it happens to you,” I groaned. “Fine,” He raised his hands in the air, “I’ll stop.” I looked at his face and saw the corners of his lips struggling to stay put. I folded my hands together and said to him,” Fine. Just laugh.” And he did. He was almost rolling on the floor at this point. It took a while before he could recover from laughing, “I think I’m all laughed out now.” “Can we concentrate now?” I asked him, “or do you need more t

Olga “He travelled to the Eastern border?” I was filled with mild surprise, “Why would he go there?” “He travelled with his Beta and… and the new slave.” My eyes narrowed in on Melody who stood shivering in front of me. “Maisie?” I scoffed, “he travelled with her?” I laughed out loud, my voice ringing with bitterness. “Did she take her son?” I asked. “No,” came the response I longed to hear. Finally, there was some good news. Maisie's arrival and her son's had given me a throbbing headache. But if I could take care of one now, I would only have the other to deal with. “Take me to him,” I said, almost laughing with excitement. I would end the poor boy's pathetic life. No child born outside my womb would be a hindrance to my children. I had none now but I had to make sure that when I did have children, their ascension to power would go uncontested. “Yes, princess.” Melody and I walked through the large hallways filled with beautiful paintings. Keith was quite obsessed with a
