*Third POV*A silver wolf ran and jumped excitedly around an open field in the forest of the Silver Moon pack's territory. She looked cheerful and free, jumping on her little legs.Yes, the wolf with silver fur that shone under the sunlight looked smaller than the wolves that were often seen in the Silver Moon as usual. If someone saw it at a glance, they might think that it was a teenage wolf playing.But, Cillian knew very well that it was Chloe, his Soulmate, who seemed to be busy playing with the moss on the ground, without realizing his presence there.Cillian stood still, very still. He didn't want to disturb the beautiful Wolf and scare her. He didn't want Chloe to show that expression every time he approached. The woman might not realize it, but the look of shock and horror of deep trauma still shone in her eyes every time she looked surprised.This is what Cillian wanted to see, Chloe who was free to express herself. Chloe who was free to show what she liked. Not Chloe who di
The two ran side by side, feeling the dirt, grass, mud, and roots beneath their feet. Cillian slowed down his pace, trying to match Chloe's. He glanced back at her beside him several times. And his heart felt big at that moment. He felt so relieved and happy.“WOAH!! This is so FUN!” Chloe screamed in his mind and they sped up their running.Until they were almost at a cliff, Chloe slowed down, so did Cillian. Until they both stopped right on the edge of the cliff.Chloe gasped as she stared at the scene before her eyes in amazement. The vast expanse of blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see.“This is beautiful.” She spoke. She smiled and closed her eyes. Feeling so happy and free. If she had known that transforming into her wolf form would feel this free, she might do anything to let her wolf run free. She didn’t even have any difficulty in saying what was on her mind in this form.“It is indeed.” Cillian chimed in. Chloe didn’t realize that the giant black wolf beside her wa
Chloe and Cillian walked side by side, hand in hand. Neither of them was walking in a hurry, but Chloe couldn't wait to meet the person Cillian wanted to introduce to her.Yesterday, on the edge of the sea cliff, Cillian told her that he had discovered facts about her childhood that Alpha Jordan had deliberately hidden.“Don’t call him Alpha, he’s not your Alpha, there’s no one in this world who’s higher than you,” Cillian told her as she often called the man who used to be her adoptive father, Alpha.Cillian's hatred for Alpha Jordan seemed unstoppable. Chloe felt the same way, but she wasn't used to expressing her feelings so clearly in front of others.Seeing Cillian so defensive and protective of her, warmed her heart. As the time goes, she felt that leaving this place was not the right thing to do.“I-Is it s-still far?” Chloe asked him. They had been walking from the castle to the pack houses for fifteen minutes now.Cillian stopped in his tracks and turned to Chloe with a frown
CHLOE'S POVWe sat on the living room sofa, inside Netra's house. The room was not big, but it was very comfortable. The windows were quite large and numerous, making the room quite bright. I could see that Netra was a wool yarn craftsman from the many threads in the baskets in every corner of the room.I saw some photos hanging on the wall. And recognized Melda there. One old photo caught my attention. I stood up and approached the wall, taking a closer look at the photo that caught my attention.“What’s wrong, darling?” I heard Cillian ask, but didn’t answer right away.The black and white photo showed a group of people, they were smiling, arm on each other’s shoulder, some men and women, they looked happy and so close to each other. I could recognize Netra when he was young.Right next to him, a burly man with a taller body and a wide smile. My heart was pounding, I felt like I recognized him. But I couldn't remember who he was or even his name. But I swear, I knew him in the back
With his limping legs, Netra got up and walked towards the wall full of photos that near us. He took off a frame whose photo had caught my attention.I squeezed Cillian's hand tighter, as Netra placed the photo on the table, in front of me.He sighed as he sat back down. The atmosphere in the house that was originally comfortable suddenly became tense. We all sat in silence. The only sound that could still be heard was the roaring sound of the waterfall.“Luna Chloe…” Netra looked at me with a serious look. He seemed to be looking for something from me, I dared not to lower my gaze.Nobody can hit you just because you look at someone directly here, Chloe, I said over and over in my head.“...Which of the people in this photo do you know?” Netra asked me.I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I looked again at the faces in the photo.Once again, the faces of the two people. Those faces of the man and the woman made me feel sad… longing...I felt like I miss them both but I don't rem
I felt Cillian's heavy arms around my waist. We shared warmth and didn't want to let go of each other.“Go back to sleep, don't think too much,” He said then I felt a series of small kisses on the back of my head.“Hmm…”We were still in bed this morning. Snuggled up in the warm, thick blanket and Cillian still clinging to me. Because neither he nor I, we both still didn't want to get out of bed.It has been more than a week, it has not rained in Silver Moon. But this morning until now the rain still has not stopped. The melodious sound of the rain plus the cold air, made me curl up even more in Cillian's arms.Besides, it had been days since we spent time together like this. Both me and Cillian, we were both very busy with our own schedules.I had a list of activities and Cillian took care of the work outside the Castle, including training his troops and going to the mines, as well as patrolling the various borders of the pack. We hardly even saw each other unless it was late at nigh
It turned out that the rain didn't stop until two days later.And today, the two of us had breakfast in the main kitchen. Every now and then I took a sip from the glass in front of me not because I was thirsty, but to cover my blushing face from embarrassment.During those two days of non-stop rain, Cillian kept me in the bedchamber, more precisely on the bed. Cillian even ordered the servants and maids to prepare our food and bath in the bed chamber.I always curl up under the blanket whenever they prepare our food or bath water. Since then I just found out that Cillian is really a pervert. He didn't allow me to get dressed while we are in the our bed. So, I was pretty naked all the time to him.Now, we are enjoying breakfast outside the bed chamber for the first time since the rain poured on Silver Moon two days ago.I glared at him. My back and thighs was still so sore, everytime I walked my feet quiver. I thought maybe this was what it felt like to be hit by a wild, prevert wolf..
Cillian took me to the east area of the Castle, where there was a building separate from it, and had a semicircular structure made of glass. The building was located in the middle of the yard, and was guarded by several fierce-faced guards.“This is the Garden House, do you like it?”I nodded smiling. Ah, this is what they've been building all this time? No wonder I couldn't get into this area the other day, apparently they were building this Garden house. I didn't even notice it from the balcony.I took a deep breath. This castle is really big. And I never see anything like this.Cillian took my hand as we walked together. The guards on duty bowed respectfully as we passed.From a distance, the Garden House looked big and tall, and it turned out that there were several steps that we had to take before entering it.“T-That Wolfsbane are here?” I asked.“Hm,” He nodded. “I’ll take you to see it. We’ve been growing it for years actually, but Wolfsbane isn’t an easy flower to grow. And i
I stood facing the expanse of the flower garden that I loved so much, the castle garden that would be the first thing people would see when they entered through the main gate. The sky was already starting to turn gray as the sun would soon rise. In the early morning like this, Silver Moon was surrounded by thick dew, the air was getting very cold to the bone.I was wearing thick clothes but I still felt the cool morning air from my thick jacket.But people said, it will be the sunniest day when the thick dew fall like them mist in the early morning.I smiled. Today must be a beautiful day here in Silver Moon. I hope the trip will also filled with the sun shining brightly above our head.“Luna, should we just wait inside? The dew is so thick, I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold.” I heard Melda’s worried voice behind me and I turned my heels to her.I smiled seeing her plump white cheeks reddened because of the cold. She was also the same as me, wearing a thick jacket and been standing near m
It’s been a while after Lana and Debora had left the office in each other's arms. And I could breathe a sigh of relief now.A small smile spread across my face every time I remembered how well it all turned out.Also the better solution and the risk that both Lana and Cillian are willing to take, even I didn't mind about it,Debora even hugged me tightly, I could feel her body shaking with joy and relief.I'm so grateful…“Tsk, these two, they could have talked about it between the two of them. I don’t care what the result is, as long as they don’t bother me.” Cillian grumbled. While I nudged him with my elbow gently.“Oh really? D-Don’t you look… so curious?” I teased him. His cold, indifferent facial expression, his posture remained calm, but his eyes conveyed an overwhelming sense of curiosity.
“So… I was the one who asked Lana to g-give those prisoners… aphrodisiacs…”Chloe was now sitting on Cillian's lap who wrapped one of his arms around her small waist. While his other hand was stroking her thigh. His eyes couldn't leave his wife's beautiful face, listening to every word from her mouth.Cillian didn't even seem to care that Lana was still standing like a statue by the door.“Lana didn’t do anything w-wrong… Don’t blame t-this on her.” Chloe assured him and Cillian just grinned with a pleased expression.Of course, this sight left Lana stunned.Was this really Cillian Craig? Since when could he make such an expression.“What did you do?” He asked again, confusing Chloe. She had already explained it, albeit briefly, but he should know what she meant, right?Chloe, whose cheeks immediately turned red, felt embarrassed and scared to explain it again. What she did was not something to be proud of. She even defended Lana because she didn't want that kind woman to get into tro
-Third POV-“Ugh…”Chloe held her stomach as she continued to vomit everything she ate at lunch earlier.“Luna Chloe!” Lana called out to her worriedly, she moved fast to her, holding her shoulders and hair to keep them away from anything Chloe was about to let out of her throat.Chloe felt so nauseous since she walked into the dungeon and she couldn't stand it anymore when she saw how the men treated Laura.“Wait… here, use this.” Lana handed her a handkerchief and Chloe nodded, using it on her mouth and soon felt bad for Lana when it dirty.“Sorry, Lana… I’ll clean it b-before returning it to you,”“Don't mention it, Luna.” Lana patted her back gently.Lana didn't expect someone like Chloe, who looked fragile and weak, and always acted carefully not to hurt others, to have such a side.Before entering the dungeon, Chloe told her her plan. The tone that came out of her mouth was firm and she didn't seem to accept any objections or protests to it.The aura that Chloe gave off at that
“I hope… my mate, fulfills his promise to you…” I stared at him coldly, I could see from the way he looked at me that he was shocked and he definitely didn’t expect to see me like this, in his state and how much I already changed.I am a weak and helpless woman who would not dare to raise her head to look directly into the eyes of others, due how bad these people treated me in the past. It began from the third year I took shelter in that pack. They said they took me in as their family, Alpha Jordan and his mate even told me that they would shower me the same love as their own kids.They were so manipulative that made me believe for years I was treated that way because it was my fault for not obeying the rules, that I was the one that rebel. Only then, when this bastard of a man molested me, again and again, I came to my senses, that if I acted out of their orders they would hit me or starve me, made me did things that made me rank even lower than the wild dog, whatever they like. Ho
Our steps echoed in the long dark stairs. Lana walked in front of me, her hand reached out to holding mine as she helped me to walked down the stairs.She insisted that I hold her hand, even though I had said that I could see clearly even though the way was quite dark and only lit by the torch at the end the stairs below.I finally gave in and held Lana's hand which was bigger than mine and walked slowly with her with her. Or, she was walking in slow pace to level my little and careful steps.This place is so quiet that it concerned me. They surely had some prisoners in there other than the one I want to meet. It was quite scary but I tried not to be scared. My decision was to come here and gave Laura her own medicine for doing something so horrible and she seemed didn’t know when to stop.We reached the end of the stairs and I could see that it was a dungeon with cells lining both sides. Some of it were occupied and some were empty. Each cell had chains embedded on its walls. I could
I sighed tiredly as Melda helped me tie the dress straps around my shoulders.“Luna, don’t you want to take a break? You look tired…” She spoke with a beaming smile, as if what made me tired was something that was expected and awaited. This only made me even more embarrassed.“I.. have s-slept a lot. There’s a lot to d-do today…” I cleared my throat trying to hide my blushing face. Ugh, Cillian, just you wait. I scolded him internally. But then it’s not entirely his fault for I was the one that agree to do it again and again until I can’t stop him anymore.Cillian really knew how to drive me crazy with his touch. And that’s made me embarrased when it’s already done.How could I did everything so shameful like that with him? Ah… I want to burry my face in the pillow and face no one right now.“And… done,” Melda nodded in satisfaction at her neat work. She checked my dress once more before starting to tidy up the dressing table and the entire room.“It’s okay if you want to rest Luna Ch
I wiped away the tears that were flowing from her soft cheeks.I was right, she wasn't having a nightmare. Her tears were tears of joy.“I…didn’t expect the Moon Goddess to a-allow me to meet and talk to them again….even if it was v-very brief.” Her gentle voice was always like a beautiful melody to my ears.“I’m glad you’re willing to share your beautiful dream, Chloe.” I said gently to her.She looked up at me. Her eyes were still red and wet from the tears that were still there. Her nose was red, her lips were plump and soft. I never stopped admiring her, no matter what, she will always be my beautiful Chloe.“I should be the one t-thanking you… y-you’ve done so much for me…” she said softly, her cheeks flushed and she looked down at my hand that was holding hers. She rubbed our rings together. Our wedding rings.I didn’t say anything for a while. From the beginning, I met her and looking around for her when I lost her track, I never thought that I would save her. All I knew was th
I found myself standing in the middle of a green field with soft grasses as high as my knees.Confused, I looked here and there. How did I get to this unfamiliar place?As far as the eye could see, I saw no one, only a carpet of grass swaying gently in the refreshing breeze.I squinted as the bright sunlight began to hit my eyes, I covered my forehead with hands, trying to see if I could find other than me in this quiet and peaceful place.Is this a dream? But it all feels so real. The sound of the wind blowing in my ears, and how it touched my skin. I lifted my hand and looked at my palm, feeling how the sun warmed me.I began to take my steps and realized that I am barefoot.Even the grass I stepped on felt so real under the soles of my feet.Where am I?While I was busy looking here and there, trying to find answers to the questions that were popping up in my head, I suddenly saw someone standing quite far away from me, he was facing the same way as I did so I couldn’t see his face
