All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S RUNAWAY LOVER : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

MaisieThe first thing I did when I opened my eyes was demand to see my son. “I cannot let that happen,” Cassian’s voice was firm. “Why not?” I asked, trying to sit up but I felt a jabbing pain in my stomach from where Olga had kicked me. “I am following Keith’s orders,” Cassian said, “do not put me in an uncomfortable position…”“Olga knows where my son is,” I said. Despite the pain, I sat up in bed. “How did she find him? What are you not telling me? Is he even safe?” I demanded all at once. “Maisie, Lance is in a safe place…” “Then how does she know he has a birthmark on his stomach?”I asked him, “I want to see my son, Cassian. Only then will I have peace.” “You are just going to have to trust me,” Cassian said, standing up. Before he could walk away, I grabbed his arm, “Please, or at least tell me where he is.” “I cannot,” he said, “but he is safe where he is. That is all you need to know.” “And Keith?” I asked, concerned. “Did he make it?” I asked him. “He’s still unco

(The Past)Maisie “Oops!” Someone sat on my head where it was resting on my desk. “I had no idea anything was there,” the person said, their tone condescending. I lifted my head, staring at the girl who had sat on my head with cold hatred but I could do nothing about her antics, she was the Alpha’s niece twice removed and she never failed to let people know about it. Practically, she was untouchable. Even the teachers were wary of her. Betsy Cullen. I ignored her like I always did because she was not worth my time at all. And exchanging words with someone like her would only do me harm. “What?” Betsy lowered her head just to look me in the eye, hoping to provoke me into reacting to her bullying. But I was too smart for her. Once she realised that I was not fun to bully, she would find another victim. It was her way after all. “You’re not going to say anything?” she asked me, a smile of mischief clouding her face. “If I’m nothing,” but there were just times when I could not hel

Maisie School the next day was uneventful until lunchtime. I remained in class during lunch because I was not on the school lunch. I had a scholarship, but it did not cover my food at school. I had told my parents otherwise so that my mother especially would not worry about me. I usually spent lunch reading a book or sometimes doing my assignments but Betsy had other plans for my lunch break. She tapped my back to get my attention. “Follow me,” it was a command, one I did not incline to obey. “I'm not going anywhere,” I told her, my refusal firm. I was not going to allow her to bully me the way she did others. “If you have anything to say to me, you can say it to my face.” The few people who had stayed behind in class including her lackeys booed her. No one had ever had the guts to challenge Betsy. Weirdly, I was enjoying myself. I was enjoying humiliating her but I feared the consequence. She was not going to let this go.“Follow me,” she repeated her insane order like I had

Keith “The school is making you too soft,” My father was Theodore Locke, Alpha of the Silvermoon pack and perhaps the most powerful man in our realm. “I can see the problems…” My father’s deep-throated chuckle cut me off, “Problems? Can you believe this child? He thinks that the pack has problems.” “The wealth gap is too much,” I stood firmly on the point I was trying to make, “for instance, I don’t see why Omegas are not allowed into the pack house.” My father’s expression became serious as he looked into my eyes. He wanted me to cower in fear and back off, but I was not going to do that. I had inherited his stubbornness and because of that we always clashed on everything. “Drop the subject, son,” my father grumbled, “they should be lucky they have the protection of belonging to the most powerful pack in the realm.” “It is not enough,” I said, doing exactly the opposite of what my father had commanded me to, “we need to do more for the pack. The common people are very poor. Th

MaisieI left the teacher’s office feeling terrified and utterly alone. There was no one on my side in this school. And if I was going to stay I had to keep my head down. I thought for a second about just quitting. After all, my mother would not blame me if I did. She would just want to understand why I would throw away such a golden opportunity but the moment she knew that I was bullied, she would fully support my decision to leave. When I returned to the class, I felt all eyes on me, especially the pair of Betsy's eyes. Glancing towards her also revealed the smirk on her face. She looked triumphant. She could already see the defeat I had faced in my eyes. “You're late to class, Maisie,” the teacher commented as I put my weight on my chair. “Mr Carter needed me for a…” I said my excuse but was interrupted by Betsy who said, “She deserves to be punished. Low lives like her should not be wasting a dime from their scholarships.” I bit my tongue to stop myself from replying to her. S
