For all Chloe knew, she wasn't ready to make any decisions or choice on the subject matter, so dragging her in the middle of the problem was a sure more emotional heartbreak for her. For once in her life, she never thought, that she would be of importance in any way to the point where two princes wrestle their tongues for her, all she wanted was a simple life of less attention. But lately, only the opposite of whatever she wanted has always happened. "Please come up here my dear." The seer stretched her hands out to Chloe, calling her to come up to the stand and make a decision. Chloe couldn't even move her feet, her toes became weak and stale, she bowed her head and wept bitterly. She has gone through enough in her life already, the constant hatred, gossip heads and worst nightmares she has had to deal with since her parents death, now look, this issue now, Chloe was sure she would never make a decision today. "Come on, you both go support Chloe and help her up here, she needs
With all of that being said and done, the Lycan King addressed everyone and the ceremony was brought to a quick close, with everyone released and retired to their homes and hotel rented spaces. The people who had come from far packs took their luggages and went to the hotel spaces assigned for them, the drama had taken a lot of time and so no one could begin a journey back to wherever they have all come from, the seer also urged Chloe to come have a rest with her so she would not be troubled by anyone. The creakstone pack Royal hotel hosted the Lycan King and family, providing shelter to them for the night, they had no choice but to host them even after the hell that broke loose earlier on. Immediately Chloe got to the seer's hotel room space, she didn't bother about anything she had on, she fell like a bag of wood to the bed and closed her eyes, forgetting everything that happened, she sank deeply into her dreams letting go of whatever thing that had a space in her mind. The se
Chloe lowered her head down as she walked behind the guards. They were not using vehicles like she had thought, but instead they preferred to trek. She believed that it was simply for the reason to punish her. Alpha Fletch was a sadist, and nothing more, and she had never despised someone as much as she despised him.The whole thing that had happened yesterday shouldn’t have occurred in the first place. They didn’t like her, and they wanted to cage her in. “You wanted to cage yourself in,” she whispered to herself. It wasn’t really her fault though, she had been scared. Though, Prince Aiden was her second chance mate, what was the guarantee he was better than The Alpha’s son, Liam. It was self-preservation, and she was going to do it again if it was strictly necessary.She sighed and looked up a bit, seeing people in the stalls, look up at her as she walked past. It was evident that news of what happened last night had spread out in the Break-stone Pack. Things have become more messie
Chloe bit her lips as she rose up from the bench. It’s been hours, yet she had not shifted for a moment. She had been running over the billion things she could do to escape the hell she was in, but she was still running short of ideas. Every link led to Aiden, and it was so frustrating.She didn’t know this man well, so she couldn’t ask for help. She kept drafting up worst case scenario’s where he might harm her, but it seemed so farfetched. Prince Aiden had been so kind to her, so it would be nearly impossible.“You’ve made our jobs easier. We shall take you to Alpha Fletch now,” one of the guards said.Chloe almost had a heart-attack. Why had they come back again? Fine, she was definitely a distance away from the pack house, but she had requested for some time. She didn’t understand anything at all.“But…”Without hearing her say a word, they grabbed her buy either side of her hands, and then, led her to the pack house. She kept trying to explain that she had not done anything wrong
The next morning, Chloe sat down in front of her vanity mirror, applying a light lipgloss. She was so annoyed about everything that was happening so far. And, she felt so helpless about it too. Chloe had no idea why her life was the way it was. She wished that things had been better, but there was no time for regrets now.Despite her plannings, she wondered if she going to have the courage to put it in action. Standing against Alpha Fletch and his whole family would be no walk in the park. She only prayed for the courage to make things easier for herself. She wanted nothing more but to have freedom, no matter what.These people did not value her, and were constantly playing mind games sos she would think that they have changed, but the truth was that they had not changed one bit;. They were desperately wiped, and acting for the main time. Hopefully, things would get better from now on, but she honestly doubted it.A knock...Chloe sighed as she looked towards the door. “Who is there?”
“Stop,” Chloe cried as she ran across the field.Yet, she felt so may forces closing in on her. They didn’t want her to have a break, and they were doing all they could destroy her willpower. She tried to make them see reason that they were hurting her, but to no avail. All they craved to do was to burn her alive, and she wondered what she did to deserve this.Someone threw something at her, and it caught her gown. She was screaming now, trying unsuccessfully to get them to stop, but she couldn’t succeed.Just then, she felt cool water drench her through and through. She gasped as she looked up and her eyes met Aiden. Without thinking twice, she held onto him.“Let her go!”Chloe turned and she saw a giant version of Liam towering on her and Prince Aiden. Aiden growled, and pulled her backwards in a bid to protect her, and in one swipe. He shove giant Liam, and then, took Chloe’s hand the moment giant Liam crashed on the floor, and they started running.“Run! Run! Run!” She screamed a
The thought of meeting Prince Aiden made Chloe pull her legs closer to her chin as she hugged herself tighter. It wouldn’t work. She was so sure of it. He wouldn’t leave his life and come running to her. That was never going to happen. The fact that she even thought about that in the first place annoyed her greatly. She would have to make do with her situation.“I’m just grasping on anything. I have no way out of here. What was I thinking? He only knew me for just one day, and he is a big prince. He wouldn’t be able to keep running to me when things aren’t working. He has other things to do with his time, other than running after me.” She said to herself.Tears spilled from her eyes. It was a form of conviction to her, and she was sure that she was right. No matter what, Prince Aiden was a royal. He was not a normal man that one could meet when he or she likes. No, she wouldn’t waste her time, building castles in the air.Chloe spent the day in her room as she looked out of the windo
Chloe looked over the gardens on the morning of the mating and marking ceremony. It remained only a few hours for the relationship between Chloe and Liam to be sealed officially. Chloe wasn’t really excited about it. Instead, she was filled with anxiety.The calming colours of the lilies, and daffodils didn’t help matters at all. She honestly didn’t know what to expect from the whole thing, and she was filled with anxiety, regarding the very same. If things would have been different would Prince Aiden, she would never know now, because she had chosen how she wanted her life to be, and she had to dance to the tune of it. There was no two ways about it, and she would have to fix whatever is needed to be fixed at this point, so things might make sense.She felt her hand slowly circle her waist, and she turned to Liam. It still shocked her how intensional he had become. He wasn’t brutally rude like he used to be, but a bit calmer. She still had not been able to allow him touch her. For so
Emily stood before Liam, her heart a delicate melody of anticipation and vulnerability. With a deep inhale, she summoned the wellspring of courage within her, ready to lay bare the depths of her emotions. The world around them seemed to dissolve, leaving only their intertwined souls in the space between them."Liam," Emily began, her voice a gentle cadence of truth and vulnerability, "my love for you knows no bounds. I'm willing to wait, to be patient until the day you find it within your heart to love me too."Liam's eyes widened, his gaze a reflection of both surprise and adoration. His hands tenderly cupped Emily's face, his touch a testament to the delicate nature of their connection. His voice quivered, thick with emotion."Emily, there is no need to wait, for my heart has loved you all along. Quietly, fervently, I have cherished the bond we share. You are the missing piece that completes my very soul, the one who has held my heart from the very beginning."Their eyes locked, a ma
In the quiet embrace of the café, Aiden and Emily found themselves grappling with the intricacies of their unrequited love. Their eyes locked, conveying a depth of emotion that words alone could not capture. Each sip of coffee served as a poignant reminder of the bitter reality they faced."Emily," Aiden began, his voice filled with a mix of resignation and tenderness, "we must confront the truth that our hearts belong elsewhere. To pursue a marriage based on such a fragile foundation would only lead to a lifetime of discontentment."Emily's gaze faltered for a moment, her lips trembling with unspoken words. She took a breath, summoning the strength to voice her thoughts. "Aiden, as much as it pains me to admit it, we cannot build a future on the remnants of unrequited love. Our hearts have already claimed their allegiances, and to deny that truth would be a disservice to ourselves."Aiden's hand reached across the table, his fingers grazing Emily's with a touch that conveyed both lon
Liam tightened his grip on Aiden's shoulder, his eyes fixed on the retreating figure. The weight of their intertwined destinies hung in the balance, the air pregnant with the possibilities of love, forgiveness, and second chances."Remember, Aiden," Liam said, his voice filled with earnestness. "Just like the two kingdoms that faced their own struggles, you and Chloe have the power to overcome the obstacles that lie before you."Aiden turned, his eyes reflecting a mix of determination and uncertainty. "But Liam, what if our past mistakes are too great? What if we're beyond redemption?"Liam's brows furrowed, his gaze steady. "No one is beyond redemption, my friend. Just as the kingdoms found unity in the face of adversity, you can find solace and renewal with Chloe. It won't be easy, but it's worth fighting for."Aiden sighed, his shoulders slumping under the weight of his doubts. "I don't want to hurt Emily, Liam. She's been a stable presence in my life."Liam placed a reassuring han
Liam and Chloe found themselves drawn together once again, their individual journeys converging at this moment of shared vulnerability. In the corner of a bustling café, they sought solace amidst the whirlwind of emotions that swirled within them. As they cradled their warm cups of coffee, a poignant conversation about love and pain unfolded between them.Liam's voice carried a wistful tone, laced with a hint of longing. "Chloe, it feels like an eternity since our paths last intertwined. The pain of our separation, the vast distance that grew between us... It's ironic how these very circumstances have brought us closer once more."Chloe met Liam's gaze, her eyes a tapestry of complex emotions. "Liam, you're right. We've both walked divergent paths, weathering our own storms and enduring heartbreak along the way. Yet, here we sit, finding solace and understanding in one another's presence."In a tender gesture, Liam reached out, his hand grazing Chloe's with a delicate touch. It was a
In the ethereal glow of moonlight, Janet and Lucas walked hand in hand, their hearts dancing to the rhythm of their shared emotions. The night whispered its gentle guidance as they followed the winding path, their steps filled with anticipation.Lucas turned to Janet, his eyes searching for answers, his voice laced with a hint of vulnerability. "Janet, I must know. Why did you choose me over Jason, despite all he put you through?"Janet halted, her gaze meeting his, a delicate mixture of tenderness and conviction in her eyes. She took a deep breath, her voice soft yet resolute. "Lucas, from the very first day, my mind gravitated towards you. There was an undeniable connection that defied explanation. But beyond that, my heart fell deeply in love with you. It's a feeling I simply cannot ignore, and it's something that will forever remain etched in my memory."Lucas's eyes widened, a whirlwind of surprise and adoration washing over his face. He reached out to caress her cheek, his touch
In the midst of the grand ball, amidst the swirl of vibrant gowns and the enchanting melodies, fate weaved its intricate pattern, bringing Aiden and Chloe together on the dance floor. Aiden's outstretched hand sought hers, a silent plea for a moment of connection. Chloe hesitated, her eyes flickering with uncertainty, but ultimately, she acquiesced, her hand slipping into his.As they danced, a palpable tension hung in the air, an invisible current that drew the gaze of onlookers and captivated their attention. Aiden's touch was both familiar and foreign, sending shivers down Chloe's spine. She could feel Emily's piercing gaze, an unspoken warning that echoed in the back of her mind.Aiden's voice, soft and filled with longing, broke the silence. "Chloe, I've missed you. Since you left, there has been an emptiness within me that I can't shake."Chloe's eyes met his, a mixture of sadness and resolve reflected in their depths. "Aiden, we can't keep going back and forth like this. I need
Janet and Chloe settled into the familiarity of Chloe's childhood home, seeking solace in the comforting embrace of memories. The house stood as a silent witness to their shared laughter and tears, offering a haven where they could explore their newfound journey together.As they sat in the living room, surrounded by nostalgic photographs and cherished mementos, Janet turned to Chloe with a glint of mischief in her eyes. "You know, Chloe, there's this grand ball happening in town tomorrow. It would be the perfect opportunity for us to make some new memories and have a bit of fun."Chloe's expression turned hesitant, her fingers tracing the edge of an old photograph. "I don't know, Janet. Balls have never really been my thing, and I don't have a date."Janet leaned in closer, her voice filled with excitement. "But that's the beauty of it, Chloe. We'll go together. You, me, and Lucas. It will be an adventure, a chance to step into the unknown and embrace the magic of the moment."Chloe'
After Janet's heartfelt encounter with Jason, she sought solace in the company of her closest friend, Chloe. She recounted the painful conversation, her voice laden with traces of sadness and uncertainty. Chloe listened attentively, her eyes filled with empathy and understanding."I always thought Jason was the one for you," Chloe admitted softly, her voice tinged with a touch of melancholy. "But if Lucas is the one who makes you happy, then maybe you should give it a chance."Janet nodded, a mix of gratitude and trepidation coursing through her. "I know it's complicated, Chloe. There's so much I don't know about Lucas," she confessed, her voice filled with uncertainty. "Apart from him being a lawyer, Emily's brother, and wealthy, I'm still trying to figure out who he truly is."Chloe's eyes sparkled with curiosity, a mischievous grin playing on her lips. "Well, my dear, it's time to embark on a journey of discovery," she exclaimed, her tone teasing yet encouraging. "You need to get t
As Lucas caught sight of Janet, a rush of emotions flooded his being. It had been far too long since they last saw each other, and the longing in his heart was palpable. He approached her cautiously, his voice laced with a mixture of hope and uncertainty."Janet," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've missed you. You're constantly on my mind, and I can't seem to escape this feeling."Janet's gaze met his, her eyes reflecting a myriad of emotions. Her guard was up, and the weight of the secrets he had kept weighed heavily upon her. She spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of skepticism."Lucas, I don't know if I can trust you. You kept so many things from me, being Emily's brother and, well, sleeping with me while she was working on a case with Chloe. It's difficult to ignore that betrayal."His heart sank as he realized the depth of the hurt he had caused. Lucas desperately searched for the right words, his voice filled with remorse."I've apologized countless times, Janet.
