All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S RUNAWAY LOVER : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Keith As my father rambled on about some girl that was meant to visit the pack soon, my mind kept wandering to Maisie and her beautiful vibrant blue eyes and lustrous silver hair. I knew I was young and had barely come of age, but I was convinced that I had found my forever already. “Are you even listening to me, Keith?” my father snapped, his harsh voice bringing me out of my reverie. “Another royal family is visiting next week and I'm to be on my best behaviour,” I surmised everything he had been saying, “anything else I should know?” My father cleared his throat which was usually not a good sign. “I am considering making her your match,” he said, his tone had a monotonous ring that was meant to make it sound like this was not a big deal but just another formality as an Alpha's son..But I was not stupid. I knew what he was doing and why he was doing it now. “It's because of Maisie, isn't it?” I scoffed, “You're unbelievable, Dad.” “Oh please!” my father rolled his eyes like

Maisie I looked at the dresses all sprawled out on my bed, then looked at my mother. “Where did you get all these clothes?” I asked her, “I know we don't have money.” And they looked expensive too. She smiled and said, “You don't have to worry about that. You should wear something new to school today.” She had a copy smile on her face. She'd had that smile on her face ever since she had seen Keith and Cassian. She had no idea what their real identities were. She just assumed they were normal students like myself and Betsy. But if she knew, I was certain she would lose her mind. “Mom, if you took a loan to…” “I didn't take a loan,” she replied, “I just want you to look your best, okay?” “I don't feel comfortable wearing them,” I said because even though I could not prove it, I sensed something was off with the sudden gift of clothes. “I just don't want you to look different from your peers at school,” she said, “and you're always in the same clothes.” “I don't care about that

KeithI did not know what to do about my resurrected assassin, but I did know that I wanted to see Maisie. And in the midst of all that was happening, I could not shake off the feeling that she was in some trouble. “Do you guys mind going to the academy without me? I want to walk to Maisie’s…” “No!” both my friends yelled at the same time. “What’s wrong with you Keith?” Kyle asked me. “A freak is actively trying to kill you and you’re worried about some girl?” Cassian added. “She is not just some girl,” I told them, “I love her.” Cassian broke character and began laughing, Kyle joined him too. “What’s so funny?” I asked both of them. “You literally just met her,” Kyle said, “How can you claim to love her? Do you even know what that means?” I did know what love was. It was how I felt when I was around Maisie. I felt more alive than ever, the world looked more beautiful, everything felt right and when I was not with her, I could not stop thinking about her, about her smile, her

Keith He was right. I had been too forward in showing off Maisie. But who met a great girl and did not want to let the world know she belonged to you? I took a step back and said as calmly as my present rage would allow me. “I'll be polite to her,” I said, through gritted teeth, “but that's it. Don't expect anything more from me.” His smile was wide and creepy because it did not reach his eyes. “That's all I ask son,” he said to me with a smile. I swallowed hard and headed back in the direction of the drawing room. The princess was still standing in front of the fireplace, her position completely unmoved like she had been frozen perfectly since I had left the room. I tried to smile, but failed so I went with a poker face. “I am curious now,” I hated the sound of my own voice and the forced words that came out from my mouth, “who are you?” She took three small steps in my direction. Her steps were meant to be dainty and her movement grace-like but they managed to rob me the wron

MaisieI rolled in my tiny bed and hit a wall. Which was not weird, as my bed was right by the wall, but the wall was strangely warm, as opposed to the cold I was used to. Then I rolled to the other side expecting to feel the very edge of my bed only to feel the cold wall that was my normal. My eyes fluttered open instantly and that was when last night came flooding back to me. Keith had refused to leave my side and I had refused to follow him to the pack house. And then we ended up falling asleep in my narrow bed. A smile danced on my lips as I watched his sleeping figure. I had not noticed that he had long lashes before, and as his eyes were shut, they appeared all tangled up. He also looked incredibly cute with his lips slightly open. But I could not watch him for long. I remembered that my mother who had not been at home last night was meant to return in the morning. Keith had to go and we had to be discreet. I could not even imagine how badly my mother would crash out if she fo
