All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S RUNAWAY LOVER : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

KeithWhen I slipped into my room just a couple of minutes before dawn, my father was seated on my bed waiting for me with a cross expression. He had his arms folded across his chest like he had been waiting a long time. I swallowed. I knew things were about to get ugly in here. Whenever it came to my father, they always were. “What are you doing in my room?” I went for the offensive position. My father narrowed his eyes at me and then moved his head back—a gesture that told me my offensive strike was not going to work this time. “You left the house without a guard or Cassian,” he said, his voice chilling. I shrugged like it was no big deal, but I knew exactly what it was. I was just hoping that Cassian had not ratted out the attempt at my assassination yet or I would be confined to the pack house forever. “Why do you care?” I asked him fiercely, “You’ve always bragged about how you could make another heir. Maybe you can make one with Olga.” “Don’t be snarky with me, son.” “Now

Keith Alpha Raphael was a short, burly man who looked like he loved starting bar fights. For a man who was royalty, he almost looked nothing like it. He looked more like a thug than the Alpha of a pack. He stood at 5’7, significantly shorter than me,and I instantly saw that Olga must have inherited her height from her mother. He was wide and stout and had a missing tooth which I suspected had to be from a brawl. He was decked with gold—his ears held a loop earring, his teeth were pleated with gold, his fingers were decked with gold rings. He wore a long red robe that flowed freely down his huge belly. But he did have an intimidating aura about him. I watched my father, Alpha Theodore as he welcomed Alpha Raphael into the pack house. Neither bowed to the other. It had to be that way between two Alphas. But if one had to bow the head, it would be Alpha Raphael. It did not matter how much money he had or claimed to possess, he could not compare to my father in land or army. There wer

Maisie “You need to come with us to the pack house,” I recognised the men at my door only because they were in the guard uniform of the pack house. But I was confused. I knew that Keith would not do this, send guards to bring me to the pack house. “I… There must be a mistake,” I said to them. Besides, my mother did not know that Keith belonged in the pack house. She was at home and the guards from the pack house were not a good look. “There is no mistake,” the guard said, “you are a suspect in the murder of Betsy Silverwood” I blinked several times. Betsy? Betsy was dead? Just a week ago, she approached me on the field to talk. I had told her no in as firm a voice as I had. But she had said she only wanted to talk and not fight. Then she offered me a hundred gold coins if I would leave the academy forever and more importantly disappear from Keith's life entirely. “So you're offering me money to dump my boyfriend?” I asked her because it almost sounded implausible. She shrugge

Keith I had him pinned to the ground eventually stabbing him repeatedly. He looked dead or at least he was pretending to be. But this was not my first rodeo and I was not interested in any more surprises. So I crouched low and grabbed his neck, pulling him close to my face, “Don’t pretend. I know you’re alive.” I was not in Alden’s fur anymore. It was better this way because I had some questions I needed answers to. “What the fuck are you doing in our realm, you bloodsucking demon?” I yelled but he continued to play dead. And I would have been fooled if this was my first time doing this but it wasn’t. I knew this trick. “Don’t play dead with me,” I whispered in his ear. I watched his eyes flicker open and a smirk mount his lips. “So you knew?” he asked with a smile. His eyes roved my face thirstily. He wanted my blood. “Answer my question,” I said, not giving him room to play mind games on me. “You have my neck,” his guttural voice would have scared someone else, but I was a d

MaisieI saw my mother’s face morph from confusion to surprise to absolute horror. I knew she wanted to scream at me, tell me how stupid I was for doing this, but she was also standing in front of the future Alpha of the pack. She could not disrespect his presence by losing her calm. But I knew what would happen immediately we were by ourselves and suddenly being accused of murder and sitting down in an empty cell began to seem pleasant. “I… I am…” I had never seen Keith stutter before but he was now—my mother was usually soft and warm, but if she was upset, she had that effect on people. “He’s the Alpha’s son,” I confirmed. There was no point lying about it. The truth was bound to come out one way or another anyway. She bowed her head towards Keith, “Your highness, I…” Keith stopped my mother by straightening her posture before she could go on further. “Please ma’am, you don’t have to treat me differently,” he spoke softly to her. “I had no idea…” she started to say when Keith
