Chapter two hundred and thirteen Epilogue Author's POV "You're not!... Don't! For goodness sake, you both should stop splashing water everywhere!" Chloe yelled at her children, obviously frustrated as they kept laughing and splashing water everywhere. The tub was overfilled with water and was even spilling. She pinched the space between her brows before groaning. "Mummy, look what I can do" Her almost three-year-old son, called her attention. She stared at him and he made the biggest splash, his sister giggled. "I can do that too," She said and Chloe shook her head. "No... You won't..." She was halfway through her sentence when her daughter went ahead splashing water that even soaked Chloe. She let out a shriek, while both children laughed. "Liam!!" She called. She was so not doing this anymore. The kids were nuisances and a pain in the ass. It'd be better if their father handled them himself. "Li..." The door opened and Liam stepped in, looking around the bathroom
Chloe's POVIn the MayHill pack, being a white wolf is a curse, and that fact took a great toll on me. I had my white wolf at the age of six, but I kept her hidden because I would have been referred to as a freak if anyone had found out. I wasn't ready to face such scrutiny and become an outcast among my peers.“Chloe.” A voice called from downstairs, and I knew from its tone that it was none other than my grandma.She was the one person who loved me dearly, the only person who knew that I had a white wolf.“Grandma! I need to sleep more,” I groaned as I rolled from one end of the bed to another, my body still feeling the need for a long sleep.“Today is your birthday, Chloe, so get up already!” From the high pitch of her voice, I knew she was closer to my room.“I'm still feeling sleepy, grandma! Just give me ten minutes, and I will be downstairs immediately,” I said, but the door to my room burst open, revealing my grandmother, whose face was glowing red with anger.“Get up right no
Chloe's povI was expecting him to feel remorseful for what he had done, but there was no sign of remorse on his face as he stared at me blankly."Liam," I called again, and Mendy rolled her eyes at me, and my eyes dilated in shock.Mendy knew I was his mate, yet she chose to seduce him.I had never thought of seducing any of Mendy's boyfriends, but here she was kissing my mate in front of me. What a shame!"Liam, do you know that I am your mate?" I asked slowly, and he stared at me with a look I couldn't fathom, but I knew it wasn't a good look or a remorseful one either.“Yes, I know." He dropped the bombshell as if I were being stabbed with an arrow.My heart shattered into thousands of pieces, and I almost lost my balance. My knees wobbled, and when they couldn't support my weight any longer, I fell helplessly on the ground as tears streamed down my eyes, smearing my makeup."I know that you're my mate, but do you expect me to accept a weak she-wolf like you? You don't have a wolf
Chloe's POV “Dad, that's not true. Liam is my mate!” I argued, but my dad turned and glared at me, making me shut my mouth.With one last glance at Liam and Mendy, who were smiling secretly, I ran out of the room in tears, and Lucy and my grandma followed after me. I ran all the way to my room without stopping to catch my breath, and tears slipped my eyes as I reminisced about how Mendy and Liam were kissing, and their kissing scene refused to leave my head as the image kept haunting me every second.Why me?What did I do so wrong to get rejected in such a cruel and painful way?I was just a young girl who was eager to meet her mate and live happily with him, but all my hopes were cut short by the scene I saw between Mendy and Liam a few minutes ago.Lucy ran into my room and pulled me into another comforting hug.“You will be fine, dear friend; Liam doesn't deserve you.” Lucy consoled me as I cried on her shoulder, my tears wetting her dress, but she didn't mind.“Chloe, stop crying
Liam POVAfter leaving Chloe's house yesterday with Mendy, we headed to the pack house and slept there until this morning.The morning sun slipped through the curtains and penetrated straight into my eyes, which made me groan slightly and open my eyes slowly.I turned to my left hand and saw Mendy sleeping peacefully in my arms like a baby, and I smiled. I never really regretted rejecting Chloe for Mendy; she's a weak girl who doesn't have a wolf, and I can't let such a person be the Luna of my pack, and, moreover, I don't love her, so I had to reject her.When I rejected Chloe and she fell to the ground, wailing in pain, I almost regretted my decision, but it was already done; there's no use crying over spilled milk, and she's not meant to be my Luna.I did that for the sake of the MayHill pack; I can't afford to make a weakling my mate and end up getting all the members of my pack killed.I was still dwelling in my thoughts when I heard a light groan, and I snapped out of my thought
LIAM POVI left Chloe's father’s house with a pang of guilt and desperation on my face. I blamed myself for breaking her heart and stopping so low to have something to do with her sister, Mendy.I know she loves me, but I was such a fool to take her love for granted. Now, see the mess I've caused her family and the hatred they all have for me. If not for anyone else, at least for the sake of her grandmother, whom Chile cherishes so much, I need to find her and bring her back so that her grandma can smile and be happy.I walked away from Chloe's father's house, burdened by guilt and with a deep sense of desperation etched across my face.The weight of my actions bore heavily on me as I replayed the events that led to the fracture of Chloe's heart. Regret looked straight into my eyeballs for stooping so low as to involve himself with her sister, Mendy.I couldn't escape the reality that I had taken Chloe's love for granted, blinded by foolishness. Now, the result of my actions has result
CHLOE'S POVI inhaled some breaths of fresh air as I walked into the dark woods. The crisp autumn air sent chills down my skin. I could feel the sound of the dried leaves as I stepped on them with my feet, a symphony of nature welcoming me home into a new life.Leaving the Mayhill pack was a decision that weighed heavily on my heart. The togetherness I once shared with the only woman who took me as her daughter, my grandma, rang in my mind like a haunting melody. Her wise words, the warmth of her presence, and the shared moments lingered in the air as I went deeper into the woods.My departure wasn't just leaving a pack; it was bidding farewell to a piece of my identity. The Mayhill pack had been my family, my refuge, and my home. But sometimes, the path we must take diverges from the one we've known, and in that divergence, we find ourselves.I couldn't shake the ache in my chest, knowing that I had left behind the safety and camaraderie that had been my sanctuary. My brother Scott,
LIAM POV“I can’t promise you that this is what will happen to you when I go look for Chloe, but I'm assuring you that no one can take the place you hold in my heart. Mendy, you are so good to me, even though the world can see that.” I said to her as I looked straight up into her eyes.She shrugged herself off of my body, for she doubted every single thing I had assured her. “Now, you are making me uncomfortable with the way you are acting towards me. Why did you make me lay with you when you know that you can’t watch Chloe's grandma breakdown or have a heart attack? Why? “ She questioned me with pain in her eyes.I took a deep breath, attempting to act as if I couldn't feel the weight of emotions in her heart. "Mendy, I never intended to hurt you. I want you by my side because you bring me comfort, and I needed that before facing whatever awaits me when I find Chloe. I know it's a lot to ask, and I understand if you're upset."She sighed, her shoulders slumping as if she were carryin
