All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S RUNAWAY LOVER : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Keith Olga was guilty of something. It was not far-fetched to think that she had tried to kill Maisie. But I could not understand her problem with Maisie after telling her that she would become Luna. At this rate, I would have to find another permanent location for Maisie. My fear though was that I would not be able to keep a close eye on her there. And she would run away the first chance she got. I was pacing in my study when Cassian entered. “I intend to stand guard at the hospital tonight,” he said to me. I stopped my pacing and looked at his face. He had a blank expression as always. It was difficult to tell what was going on in that head of his. “You think the suspect may return to the crime scene?” I asked him. “Yes,” he said, “if the intention is to blame Maisie for Rueben's murder then more of Maisie's items may be planted there since no one has mentioned the scarf. Or they may look for the scarf and plant it in a more conspicuous place.” Cassian had a point. I slipp

Maisie “She killed my son!” Reuben's father grabbed my throat, “you filthy scum…” he screamed, “how dare you kill my son? Why? Why would you do such a thing?” “What did he ever do to you?” he demanded from me. I stood there transfixed, unable to do anything. I willed my body to move, to react, to say something to defend myself but my voice had ceased. Then all of a sudden Adam screamed and let go of my neck. I looked down to see my son's teeth sunk into Adam's leg. There were sputters of blood on the white floor as a result. Olga pointed at Lance and screamed, “We must rid the pack house of this demon child.” I tried to pry Lance from Adam's legs, but Lance held on fastidiously, his eyes filled with unholy rage. I could feel his aura—the aura of an Alpha. I saw Adam's eyes meet Lance's, and he looked petrified. He looked between Keith and Lance and then at me and his screaming ceased. “Lance, let go,” I said softly. Lance finally let go, but the mad rage in his eyes had not cle

Olga“Tell me, Maisie,” Keith kept leaning towards Maisie, “did you fuck him and make your son watch too?” The next thing I heard was a resounding slap from Maisie. I tried to hide my smile but failed. Surely, Keith could not overlook being insulted that way. My plan had worked. All that was left now was to direct Keith’s anger towards execution. I went to his side, playing the compassionate wife. “Dear husband!” I put my hand on his face, “Does it hurt?” But Keith ignored me completely. “Cassian?” his voice was deadly cold, “take the child away this moment! He is not to exist in my orbit anymore. Kill him, feed him to dogs, turn him to a slave, a servant, throw him out of the pack… I do not give a damn what you bloody do to him. Just make sure that dog doesn't bite me or anyone else in this pack.”That pleased me well. Now that Keith had declared that the child ought not to be around him, it would be easy to finish him off. “Of course,” Cassian said quickly, taking the boy away

Keith The funeral procession had no fanfare. Rueben had died young—at the peak of his prime — so there was not much celebration to be had. With the rites completed, Adam came to bow his head to me. “Thank you for your support, Alpha,” he said. He glanced behind me but did not see Maisie. I had kept her confined to my quarters since the cloak was found in her room. I was still waiting on Cassian to bring clarity to the case. If Maisie had really killed Reuben it would mean she was his secret lover and for that I was going to have her punished. “Again, I am sorry for your loss,” I replied. I remained by Reuben’s graveside after everyone had left, everyone except Cassian who stood quietly beside me. “Are the results from the logged evidence out?” I asked Reuben. “His blood was on the cloak,” Cassian revealed. Yet, I felt a but coming. “But?” I asked. “The cloak was also mixed with goat blood to make it look soaked,” he added, “except Maisie was butchering a goat after killing Rue

Cassian “Keith?” his eyes fluttered open, causing me to sigh in relief. It had been three days since he fell into a coma. I had just been about to cancel the coronation and the full moon festival when he opened his eyes. I went to the door and shouted for Kyle who ran into the room the second he heard my voice. “What happened?” Keith's voice was croaky, but what mattered was that he was alive. “Please do not sit up yet,” Kyle said as he examined Keith's body.After a while, Kyle said, “You should recover fully by tomorrow. But you must not exert yourself.” Keith sat up in bed now. It was a relief to see him alive and well. The past couple of days had been a terrible scare. And unfortunately, I had yet to confirm if Olga had a hand in this or in Rueben's death. “What happened?” Keith asked. “You were poisoned,” Kyle revealed, “it happened very slowly, probably over a year now.”Keith frowned.“A year?” “We suspect someone wanted to make your death appear natural,” I said, “you w
