All Chapters of Alpha’s Relent: His Runaway Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

ALTHEA There’s no such thing as a secret. Nothing stays truly hidden. It simply waits, mutates, and then comes back to bite you. I had a secret, and for six years, I protected it, only for it to wind up unravelled by my enemy. My heart is racing before he even begins to speak, and even after looking at the image on his phone, I’m hoping he’s clueless. “I know your secret, Kotyonok,” he says, his voice low and threatening like always. I suck in a breath, my hands balling into fists. I knew this day was coming. I fought hard to hide it. I’ve never had any friends at school, not that anyone wanted to be friends with the school charity case, but I did everything I could to protect this secret, yet somehow, the truth is out in the open. And the one who found out? Kirill Volkov. Silverclaw's potential Alpha heir. The very same boy who has made my life hell for the last six years. Before, he didn’t care about me, but then that stupid rumour about me liking him came out, and he made s

ALTHEA I have a mate. Not just any mate, but my bully.Two weeks ago, I was sure Kirill was going to reject me. It was the only thing that made sense after three years of making my life miserable.He didn’t.Instead, he deleted the pictures of my mother and promised they would never leave his phone. Later that night, someone slipped a note under Ruelle’s bedroom door. I got up to check and it was addressed to me. [I didn’t get to say goodnight, Mate. I hope you get a good night’s sleep, I know I will. Dreaming of you.] It read. Signed K.V, in cursive.I read it in his voice, and it sounded a little like a threat. Everything Kirill says sounds like a threat.For the first few days, I waited for the joke to reveal itself.It didn’t.My whole world had changed out of nowhere. Kirill changed. None of his friends called me names and when anyone did, he stopped them. He leaves me good morning messages, walks me to class, and at lunch, he sits with me. He hasn't apologised for the thing

ALTHEA Kirill ghosted me. After I left Nevan’s house, I went back home to finish my project. My mother was gone and so was the stranger she tried selling me to. I didn't report her, didn't tell anyone, and for three weeks now, I’ve been alone, living off the little money I found on the table when I returned home that night. Her best friend told me not to worry about her, and honestly, I’ve enjoyed being away from her. I’m just hoping she is truly alive. Our relationship is complicated, just like with Kirill. For the first three days after the party, Kirill wouldn’t reply to me, and when he finally texted, he was different. Even when I met him at school, it was almost like he was avoiding me. He barely had time to say hello to me in between writing our papers, and I keep telling myself the pressure might be getting to him. The night before our English paper, I fell ill, and he came over. He took care of me all night, but he was gone before morning. Time has moved so fast,

KIRILL I haven’t been able to look Althea in the eye for days now. In between pretending and lying to her, I found a dying truth, a truth I betrayed three weeks ago. I remember the first time I ever saw her, the way I instantly got obsessed with finding out more about the she-wolf my father had personally gotten into Atherton. He never set foot in my school, but that day, he was there, warning the principal to take care of the new kid. There were only two new kids, one was Kimora’s younger brother, and the other, Althea. Word around the pack was that he had another woman on the side, and a secret daughter. It could’ve been her, but it wasn’t. His rumoured daughter was, in fact, his niece, my uncle’s illegitimate daughter, whom he supported because my uncle refuses to recognise her. When that was cleared up, I still couldn’t befriend her. There’d been too much bad blood between us that it wasn’t worth salvaging for friendship. I’ve hated the way she made me feel, the way my fathe
