The Obsidian Alpha's RunawayThe Obsidian Alpha's RunawayJodiLanguage: English18+ 230.5K wordsOngoingIntroductionMy lungs burn, and my shattered ribs scream in agony with every step, but I refuse to stop running. Freedom is just past the tree line. But then, I crash into a wall of solid muscle. The suffocating scent of dark pine and rain instantly wraps around me, stealing the little breath I have left. I look up, terrified, into the glowing, ferocious eyes of a man who could snap me in half with two fingers. He takes one breath, his dominant gaze dropping to my bleeding hands and the dark bruises covering my neck. "Mine," the monster growls, the sound vibrating through the very earth beneath my feet. For eighteen years, Marcella has been the punching bag of the Emerald Ridge pack. Blamed by her cruel father for her mother's tragic death, she is starved, beaten, and treated worse than dirt. Her only lifeline is a desperate, dangerous pact with her best friend: use the massive, chaotic Jade Moon mating ball hosted by a neighboring pack as their one chance to escape their abusers forever. The plan is flawless. Slip out at midnight. Run. Never look back. At twenty-eight, Alpha Xander is dangerously powerful, fiercely protective of his young daughter, and completely closed off to the idea of a mate. Traumatized by a bloody past, he only cares about his pack. But when the Elders pass a mandatory law compelling him to host thousands of unmated females in a twisted bid to force a Luna upon him, Xander is backed into a suffocating corner. He vows to reject every single one of them. Until he intercepts a terrified, battered girl trying to flee through his woods. The intoxicating scent of his fated mate shatters his iron control in a heartbeat. Now, the Alpha who swore never to love again is consumed by a lethal, primal urge to slaughter the monsters who broke her. But Marcella is a survivor who trusts no one—especially not a towering, dominant Alpha who represents the very cage she is trying to escape. Can Xander heal the shattered girl who only wants to run, or will the terrifying demons of their pasts destroy them both?WerewolfRejected MateEnemies to LoversAlphaLunaAge GapAbusedAnother WorldFated MateBXG126 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeSavage Vows: The Tyrant's White WolfClaimed By The Scarred Lycan KingShattered Silence: The Obsidian Alpha's Fierce ClaimWhen the Prey Bites BackRejecting My Fated BetaAshes to Crowns: The Lycan's Lethal MateSold to the Pyrehowl WarlordThe Alpha's Curvy ObsessionThe Lycan King's Shattered BrideShattered Ice: The Wolfless Luna's DefianceRead now
