All Chapters of I Ran Away with the Alpha's Baby: Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

I had never run that fast in my life.My lungs burned as I rushed through the hallway, Kael right beside me. The sound of Elias's scream kept repeating inside my head, louder than the pounding of my own heartbeat.“Elias!”“Keep moving!”We reached the main hall.The doors were wide open.My mother was on the floor.Seraphine was kneeling beside her.And Elias—was gone.My heart stopped.“Where is he?”Seraphine looked up at me.“He disappeared.”“What do you mean disappeared?”“He was standing beside me.”She pointed toward the center of the room.“There was a flash of silver light, and then he was gone.”I dropped to my knees.“No.”Kael immediately crouched beside me.“Elara.”“He was here.”“I know.”“He was right here.”My hands shook as I touched the floor.There was a faint silver mark burned into the stone.A crescent.Then another symbol appeared beside it.A black wolf.Kael stared at it.“It's the bond.”I looked at him.“What?”“The Moon isn't taking Elias.”He stood.“It'

For several seconds, I couldn't move.The words kept repeating inside my head."Your father is still alive."My father.Alive.The man I had spent years believing was gone.The man whose face I could barely remember because my mother had always avoided talking about him.The man whose name had become almost forbidden inside our home.My breathing became uneven.“That's impossible.”The silver-eyed figure smiled.“Is it?”I shook my head.“My father died.”“That's what they wanted you to believe.”Kael immediately stepped in front of me.“Enough.”The figure looked at him.“You're afraid she'll find out.”Kael's expression hardened.“I don't know what you're talking about.”The illusion smiled.“Then why don't you ask her mother?”I turned toward the voice.“Mom?”The figure disappeared.The hallway returned to normal.The lights came back on.And my mother was standing at the other end.Her face was pale.She had heard everything.“Mom…”She didn't answer.I walked toward her.“Is my

The voice disappeared.But its echo remained."Come home."I stood completely still, staring at the ground beneath my feet.The silver light had spread across the earth, forming thin cracks that moved outward like veins.Nobody spoke.Even the wolves had gone silent.Elias was holding Lucien's hand.Kael was standing beside me.My mother looked like she was about to collapse.And Seraphine—Seraphine was staring at the ground with something I had never seen in her eyes before.Fear.Not uncertainty.Not suspicion.Fear.I turned toward her.“You know what’s down there.”She didn't answer.“Seraphine.”Her eyes met mine.“Yes.”My stomach twisted.“What is it?”She swallowed.“Your grandmother.”I looked at the ground again.“My grandmother is alive.”“Yes.”“Under our pack?”“Yes.”“For how long?”Seraphine looked away.“Longer than any of us.”I couldn't process it.My grandmother.The woman I had never met.The woman my mother had never spoken about.The woman who was apparently conn

“Kael…”I took one step toward him.“Don't.”His voice cracked.I stopped.Kael was bent slightly forward, one hand gripping his chest while the other pressed against the stone wall.His breathing was uneven.His shoulders were tense.And his eyes—they weren't completely his anymore.The familiar warmth I had always seen in them was still there, but underneath it was something darker.Something ancient.Something that scared me.“Kael, look at me.”He lifted his head.“Elara, stay away.”“I won't.”“Please.”“I said I won't.”His jaw tightened.“You don't understand.”“Then explain it to me.”“I can't.”“Why?”His eyes flashed silver again.“Because I don't know what I'm becoming.”My heart broke.I moved closer.He immediately stepped back.“Don't.”I stopped again.“I can feel it.”“What?”“My wolf.”His breathing became heavier.“It's changing.”Darian laughed from across the chamber.“Finally.”Kael turned toward him.“Shut up.”Darian smiled.“You feel it, don't you?”Kael's fist
