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
CILLIAN'S POVI made her sit on my lap, I calmed her down, let her cry as much as she wanted. I chose one of the park benches near that small waterfall, so the sound of the water could help calm my hurt and sad mate.“Let it out, love,” I whispered to her. She was still holding me, her arms around my waist, her head resting on my chest. She nodded slowly. I could still hear her soft sobs.Seeing her like this made my heart feel like it was being torn apart. I thought taking her away from that hell hole would heal her instantly but I was wrong.The wounds she experienced were deeper than I thought.She was afraid that I would hate her, she was afraid that I would throw her away for something even though she was the victim of all the evil that people did to her.I hugged her tightly, telling her through this hug that I want her forever. That I will protect her no matter what, even with my life.After a few minutes, she seemed to have calmed down. She still wouldn't look at me directly,
The room behind the waterfall was a level lower than the one outside. So we had to go down some steps.“Be careful, it’s slippery,” I said, still holding her hand, leading the way to a small, dark, alley in front of us. As we entered, a small, dim yellow light bulb automatically turned on, making Chloe gasp.“Relax, love. It’s a sensor light,” I said to calm her down.“There’s… s-something like t-that?” She asked in awe. Now we could see our surroundings clearly.I looked at her and grinned, “Of course there is. Hmmm…” I thought, “I should really take you to the human city if we have some free time again. You’ll find a lot of unique things there.”She smiled at me and nodded in agreement. I couldn't wait to show her the world. She'd been stuck in that hell of a pack for too long. I'd show her other parts of the world that might interest her, and make her happy.I saw her smile shyly. She seemed like she wanted to say something but decided not to. Ugh, I was so curious and wanted to kn
"Don't deny it, Chloe. Relax, loosen yourself a little bit... Yes, like that..." His deep, low voice, whispered in my ear, I flinched as his hands began to slip under the shirt that I'm wearing. My breath panted as I felt his big and warm hand caressed my skin gently causing the sparks of our mate bond dance on my skin, sending shiver right to my core. "Say Chloe, do you like it?" "Ngh!" I jolted as I felt his warm tongue on my earlobe. My body was too weak to even sit straight and I'm fighting with myself about should I be grateful that he lend me his hard, board chest for me to lean, or that I should be afraid of him being this gentle with me. I shook my head to stay on my right mind but then flinched as I felt his other hand slipped between my thighs. "A-Alpha..." I stammered, my tears welled up as this feeling inside me made me almost brust out. I'm so confused. Why is he being so gentle like this? Shouldn't him being the opposite? "You are blushing, are you sta
The Rock Mountain Pack, twenty hours earlier.... "CHLOE! You wretch!! Where is the food?! These tables need to be clean!" That was Laura Denmir's voice, shouting from the top of her lungs at me. "I-I'll be there! Just a m-moment after I finished cleaning the dishe...." Thud!! "Urgh!!" A plate flying across the room, hitting the back of my head. It was so painful and I fell to the floor due to instant dizziness. I closed my eyes tightly as my surrounding seemed to be spinning. "YOU!! ....retch!!... Get up!! Stop.... up!" I heard voices but for some reason it became so distant. I lay down on the floor on my side. My sight blurry for a second and I sucked the air as much as I can. "GET UP!!" Ugh! I whimpered in pain as someone kicked me on my back. My hearing was back, so as my sight. Soon, I could feel my surrounding again. "Do you not hear me?! What are you doing down there! GET UP IDIOT!!" It was her, Laura. The Alpha's and Luna's daughter. She kicked

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
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
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
