The Runaway Breeder Chapter 13
Chapter 13 "You ready?" Tate's voice floats to me, and I sigh, taking a last look at myself in the mirror. My blue eyes held unshed tears in them once again as sorrow fills me. I stand wearing a long-sleeved black lace dress with my hair in a high bun. Today will be a long and depressing day for everyone. I feel strong arms turn me away from my pale reflection and press my head into a sturdy chest as I take in Tate’s scent with a shaky breath."You don't have to go if it’s too hard, Laina. Everyone would understand." He says and kisses my forehead. He knew I am close to breaking again. Any mother would be close to breaking on the day they burry their baby.“I have to, Tate. She deserves to know how much I love her and will miss her.” I whisper out with a whimper into his chest. Taking another deep breath to steady my emotions, I take Tate’s hand, and the two of us make our way down the stairs where Jack and Chris fawn over Julia, a soft smile on my lips as I watch the
The Runaway Breeder Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Light slowly drifts in through the sheer curtains, falling across my eyelids, causing me to wake up. Strong arms are wrapped around me with my back against a sturdy chest. The tingles against my skin tell me that it’s Tate as he snuggles closer to me. I needed to get my mind off of yesterday and move forward. I will always love Kelly, but Julia needed her mother to raise her. Today is a new day, and slowly my grief will settle down.Tate slowly pulls away from me and kisses my forehead before his presence leaves the bed. Ten minutes pass by till I decide that I did not want to stay here in bed forever, and I throw the covers back to stand. Stretching, I make my way towards the bathroom for a shower, letting the warm water cleanse away the smell of grief from yesterday off of my body. I feel more refreshed as I shut off the water and wrap my body in a fluffy towel, still learning to get used to my small stomach once again. I step away from the master en-suite

Chapter 15 "It’s been two hours. Where are they?" Tate asks no one in particular as he paces around the gazebo while I feed Julia. We spent two hours enjoying the view and having a light snack while we wait. Chris would update me every now and then talk about the repairs to our house, but I had a feeling he was enjoying being a dictator to the wolves who crashed in unwelcomed."Alpha Tate and Luna Laina?" I jumped slightly when a voice calls out to us and turn to spot a wolf dressed in our pack formalwear."I was told to inform you that the Elders are here. Do you want them to be led to the gazebo?" The man asks. He turns away from Tate to look at me, giving me a friendly smile and causing Tate to growl possessively. The wolf looks away quickly and bows his head submissively.“Sorry, Alpha I just wanted to introduce myself to the Luna. I am the Head Warrior here and in charge of protection. We’ve also doubled security patrols since this morning’s incident.” The wolf ex

Chapter 16 "You look beautiful, Laina. Everyone is going to love you." Eeva praises me as I turn around in a circle, looking at myself in the mirror. Today is the day I will officially become a member of Bloodsvain. For the last two weeks, I have already considered this pack home, and now it is time for me to join. Nerves flutter around inside me as I smooth out the dress I am wearing, ensuring everything is in place before turning to face Eeva. Eeva’s house is close to where the pack ceremonies take place. With Loren as the Beta, it fell under his duties to protect the sacred lake that has been used for generations in welcoming new members and new leaders."Are you sure? I'm sixteen. What if they don't want someone young and inexperienced for their Luna?" I ask, pacing the length of her bedroom. Part of me felt worried that the pack would resent me for being so young. Tate and I have a ten-year age gap, but I knew some couples were even many years older than the other

Chapter 17 "The poor Luna. Not even fully mated yet, and the Alpha is already on his death bed.” A voice says loudly as growls sound afterwards with these disrespectful words."Shut up! What if she hears you? Besides, Doctor Rex said there is a chance he will survive." I jolt awake from these words, my eyes scanning for the source when I spot two she-wolves huddled together, their eyes darting about. I don’t see any sympathy for the situation, and irritation floods me. It is wolves like these that cause disharmony in the pack.Getting up and slowly walking towards the girls. I feel the others’ eyes on me who wait for a good show even though the door to the shelter is open, and we may leave. Standing behind the two she-wolves, I let out a warning growl and watch as they stand straighter, fear coursing through them."I suggest you both shut up. Talking about your leaders behind their back, especially with one of them in the room, is grounds for punishment." I grind out,

Chapter 18 Beep "Are you sure, Laina?" The sound of the heart monitor's steady beeping follows Eeva’s question as I look at Tate’s still form.Beep The sound continues on as everyone looks at me with worry in their gaze."I'm sure. It’s better than letting my mate suffer." I whisper out. Eeva nods, knowing that the decision for her younger brother to be taken off life support lies in my hand.Beep Rex slowly walks over to the life support machine and lets out a long, sad sigh. I could see the pain in his eyes as he stares at Tate with a sad smile."Goodbye, friend." He says sadly before flicking the machine off. Slowly everything comes to a stop. The only thing working is the heart monitor for now. Eeva takes Julia from my arms and motions for me to go to Tate. With tears in my eyes, I stand at his bedside and take his hand in mine.Beep My heart breaks at his still form, and with one last try, I open the link just betwe

Chapter 19 "Laina, I am fine!" Tate sighs as I fluff his pillow for the umpteenth time today. I couldn’t help but hover over my mate the way he did with me when I first woke from my emergency surgery."No, you're not, so stop complaining and let me pamper you," I argue back, hearing Tate mutter something about me being a worrywart. How the tides have turned. It’s been three days since Tate first woke up from his coma. I spent most days either curled up in bed with Tate and Julia watching T.V. The only times I leave this room are to use the washroom and take Julia outside to get some fresh air.When Tate is asleep, I find myself at the desk Loren and Mike brought in, going over pack paperwork with the two men and Eeva's help. Rex would come in every now and then to check on Tate’s condition, then would leave Tate, Julia, and me for the rest of the night. Deciding that Tate is thoroughly tucked in and comfortable, I stretch for a moment, ready to go to the desk to get s
The Runaway Breeder Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Pulling into the driveway, I shut off the Jeep, silence filling the interior. It felt good being home after spending over two weeks at the pack house, and Eeva promised to take care of Julia for tonight at her house. I think Eeva is secretly happy to have a little girl over for the night as she has told me many times she is trying to have a daughter with Loren. A soft snore beside me catches my attention. When I turn to look at Tate, I giggle, a soft smile on my face, as I watch my mate doze off, head back against the seat. He looks so peaceful with the fall light streaming in through the window.Slowly, I lean over, making sure not to wake Tate, and place a gentle kiss on his lips. I lean back, ready to pull away until strong hands pull me close, and I find my chest pressed against Tate’s. Warm lips press against mine as we move in a slow rhythm. I let out a small moan when he nips at my bottom lip before his tongue pries open my mouth and delves inside. Ou
