Run: A Novel Novels & Stories

Chapter 40 – Caden The early morning sun filters in to the room, waking me from my sleep. I smile as I take a deep breath, the air being filled with the scent of lavender and mint. Curled into my side, Grace sleeps soundly in my arms and I can’t help but stare at her serene face, her eyelids fluttering as she dreams. We have survived the Run and now I have a date to plan for the two of us. I smile, thinking about how I plan to romance the she-wolf in my arms, to show her a side of me that I have dreamed of giving a woman. She see’s me as Caden, the friend she made in the Run and not as Prince Caden, the man who will rule all the wolves in the world. Making sure that Grace is sound asleep, I

As The Head Maid disappeared into the smoke-filled corridor, Lyra's desperate cry echoed: "Please don't turn around. Save my baby!" Kai cries pierced the air as The Head Maid sprinted out of the storage room, Kai clutched tightly in her arms. The baby's wails gradually subsided as they emerged into the deserted corridor. The Head Maid's frantic gaze scanned the empty halls, searching for anyone to aid their escape. But silence greeted her. Just ahead, Oscar and Ethan stood, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames engulfing the storage room. Ethan's eyes sparkled with malice. "They burnt to death?" he asked, his voice dripping with amusement.

I started traveling. Visited all the calm places I'd only seen in textbooks—cliffs, deserts, fields that rolled forever. This time, I wasn't missing a thing. But sometimes, in some quiet corner of a new city, I'd feel it—that familiar presence. Never close enough to bother me. Never far enough to forget. I always knew who it was. But I never turned around. Never slowed down. That foolish Wenna? She died in the accident. Died under Hugh's cold stare.

While the men were training the warriors hard and preparing the traps in the field; Grandma Rose, Aerin, Rune and myself, were working tirelessly in Grandma Rose’s cabin. One of the days that we were going to work for the infirmary, Rune said that she was going to be late. With the book that Grandma Rose had given me open on the table, we decided to stock up with ointments and salves. I had written every improvement down in the pages of the old book and added our own findings to the blank pages. I loved having a way to chronicle everything we learned and did together. My mother was in awe of all the progress I had made and how much I seemed to remember about the scrolls in the Royal library.

She stopped speaking because Adrian had already left the room. Then she slumped back on the bed, gave an exasperated sigh, covered her hands with her face, and cried. Adrian knew how important the pack run was to werewolves, yet he was doing this to her, especially now that she was pregnant. A pack run was an extensive training for all wolves which helped them to defend themselves in the face of danger. But to a pregnant woman, it was different and compulsory. It helped them breathe well, it eased back pain, as well as constipation.

It is because of all these wrongs that I ran and will keep on running. The safe-haven I call the town line finally comes into view, bringing renewed hope into my being. I take the chance to pick up speed and rush into the safety net. I feel some resistance at first as if some invisible force is trying to keep me out, but I keep pushing forward, and soon I am safely across, relief causing my nerves to settle down. I turn around to face my pursuers with a smug grin, slowly walking backwards as I take in each of their faces.

Bisola replied still in a sharp tone. Instead of running just she did last night, Bisola just waltz into her apartment, she is very nervous as she walked away, and that is why she is not running, because she knew that one false move can caused he to stumbled and fell, and she is not ready for Dapo to see her embarrassing moment.

"When you first got here, I had Zay do some research. You weren't healing and we didn't know why. Runts aren't like normal wolves. You got hurt when it was the new moon. That is not a good thing, especially for you. Runts rely on the moon for their power. Therefore, you can't heal with the new moon. You'll have to wait until the moon is back in the sky to even contact your wolf, let alone heal." "Thank goddess." She mumbled and I raised an eyebrow. "I haven't talked to Ancillary since I got here. I've been freaking out." "Who's Ancillary?" She smiles as she gives her answer, "My wolf. She's been my only friend since. . ." She had a sad look on her face by the time she finished. "Well when th

Aurora POV "So what did my stupid brother do?" Noxon asked, passing me another glass of chocolate milkshake. Sandy's place was quite great. The place was quite a cozy diner with checkered floors, red vinyl booths, and a jukebox humming softly in the corner. It gave a 90's vibe and somehow they serve the best milkshake and apple pie. I'm practically thinking of living here. I've had three glasses already, but somehow the sugar was helping. "Found him fucking Rebecca Stone." I stirred the whipped cream into the shake. "In Mr. Wilson's classroom."
