Ethari X Runaan Novels & Stories

she growled, her voice low and deadly. We parted, letting her pass. She moved forward, her hands weaving intricate patterns in the air. The creatures paused, their twisted forms hesitating. And then, they began to fall back, repelled by some unseen force. Eira turned to us, her eyes flashing with triumph. "We can do this," she said. "Together." But as we moved forward, ready to face whatever lay ahead, I couldn't shake the feeling that Xandros was still one step ahead of us. That he had one final trick up his sleeve, waiting to strike.

"What are you talking about?" "The Sire has no heir," Dalia said, pulling a small, amber glass vial from her apron pocket and pressing it into Aria’s palm. "Draven Ashford was castrated by the enforcers in the Hollow Pit—the old line is broken. If you carry Cassius’s blood, the captains will never allow him to cast you aside. Stop drinking the herbal contraceptive tea he sends to your room. Take this instead. It will clear your system within three days, and you'll have his ring on your finger before the winter is out."

In the gloomy and desolate back alley, I just kept on running and running, not even minding how tired I was. Both men are running at lightning speed behind me, and I don't even know where they are getting their energy to do just that. Are they really humans, or, like me, are they part of some pack? "Snow, run a bit faster. We need to lose them," Eris reminded me.

Korrin I have won at life. How do I know this? Because no other Zareth hunter has a mate like mine. Sienna? Her stamina is impeccable. This perfect, beautiful mate has been scratching my belly for a very long time, and taking care of your mate like this? It is highly valued among Zareth. Our women usually also want the massage treatment and don’t offer to give it back lightly. This little werewolf, however, seems to have endless energy. I never want her to stop.

Kiera's POV The rumble of unfamiliar engines outside made my blood run cold. These weren't the synchronized throats of Darius's Black Howl machines, nor the familiar growl of Steel Vultures bikes. This was something else entirely different, more aggressive, like predators announcing their arrival. I was in the garage with Eli, teaching him how to identify different engine sounds, when the convoy rolled up to our gates. Through the grimy windows, I could see at least fifteen motorcycles, their riders wearing crimson and black patches that made my wolf recoil instinctively.

I had thought I knew Darcy very well. It seemed impossible for him to keep his chastity for half a year—he changed mating partners as often as he changed his clothes. Half a year was short, but for some Alphas like him, it was a long time. Unexpectedly, he really intended to keep his word. A month passed in the blink of an eye, and there were no other she-wolves around him. This was shocking. What’s more, his friends’ attitudes towards me gradually became more respectful.

Elara's POV "This isn't right." I stared at the rune I'd just finished, shaking my head in frustration. It glowed faintly, but it wasn't what I needed. "What's wrong?" Ryker asked, looking over my shoulder. "It's too shallow," I wiped the rune away and started over. "A basic healing rune like this only mends flesh and bone. It's useless against a wound to the soul." This was my third day in his territory. Ryker's Rune Sanctuary was even more grand than I'd imagined.

She doesn’t seem to notice the weary look on his face as she loops a strand of hair around her finger and continues to chatter. “I was hoping you’d be back in time for the full moon. And the equinox feast, I’m glad you didn’t miss it. How was the siege? Some of the others were worried you’d not be returning, but I knew. Don’t you worry about Ethan, I told them, he’s—” She cuts off. She straightens, her eyes darkening. “Who’s this?” “This is Rory,” says Ethan with a tired smile. “I need you to grab her some fresh clothes. A dress and some shoes.” He pauses, thoughtful for a moment. “Put her in the clan colors.”

I was done running. POV Lee "FUCK!" I spat as we ran through the forest. Dean and Devon were on either side of me. We were surrounded by the warriors from all our packs along with the Alphas. We were a huge force and there was no way that the hunters or Sam's warriors would win against us. There was no other option. "What?" Devon demanded. "Your sister is so damn stubborn." I spat back. Both Dean and Devon slowed but I shook my head at them. "Don't stop. The ceremony begins in less than an hour. We don't have time." I ordered them both.

Odessa POV Maverick marched out seconds later with the rage of a thousand suns coursing through his veins. “Why would Seth think that was a good idea?!” He barked. Rune smiled. “My best friend, it’s been forever. We have to catch up!” “Enough,” Mav said firmly. “Leave my pack before you’re arrested.” Rune frowned. “Fine. I’m not here to talk about old times. I’m here to make a trade. You can’t keep Dustin here. That doesn’t fly with humans, and it won’t with wolves either.”
