Chloe couldn't wait to spend more time with them and continue getting to know her future in-laws.As breakfast came to an end, Queen Martha stood up and announced that she had a surprise for Chloe. She led them all outside to a beautiful garden, where a group of musicians were playing soft, melodic tunes. Chloe's eyes widened in surprise and joy as she realized that they had set up a private concert just for her.As the music played, Aiden took Chloe's hand and they danced together under the warm sun, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their family.

Chloe's room was a reflection of her eclectic tastes, a mixture of ancient and modern decor. The walls were painted a soft cream color, with several framed art pieces hung strategically around the room.On one wall, there was a large oil painting of an ancient Greek scene, depicting gods and goddesses in a dramatic battle. On another wall, there was a framed modern print of a city skyline, with bold colors and sharp lines.The room was well-lit, with several lamps and overhead lights casting a warm glow. A large bookshelf dominated one corner of the room, filled with leather-bound tomes and antique trinkets. Chloe loved to read, and Aiden had made sure to include plenty of shelves for her extensive book collection.The centerpiece of the room was a large, four-poster bed with a plush white comforter and plenty of fluffy pillows. Aiden had chosen the bed specifically for Chloe, knowing how much she loved the feeling of being surrounded by softness.In addition to the bed, there was a s
"I understand how you feel, Janet. I know what it's like to be looked down upon because of where you come from. But you can't let that stop you from going after what you want. You deserve happiness just as much as anyone else."Janet looked at Chloe with a mixture of sadness and gratitude in her eyes. "But how do I get him to notice me? He's always so focused on his duties as Aiden's right-hand man."Chloe smiled. "Well, maybe you need to make him see you in a different light. Show him that you're not just some pack member, but someone he can have a real connection with."Janet looked intrigued. "How do I do that?"Chloe thought for a moment. "Well, for starters, try talking to him more. Find out what he's interested in and show him that you share some common ground. Maybe even ask him to train with you or something. That way, he'll see you as a strong, capable woman who's not afraid to take charge."Janet nodded slowly. "That's a good idea. Thank you, Chloe. You always know how to ma
Jason's office was a fascinating mix of modern and ancient decor. The room was spacious, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, and sleek modern furniture that blended seamlessly with the more traditional elements.One wall was lined with shelves, filled with books and files neatly organized and stacked alongside ancient artifacts and swords. The shelves were made of dark, polished wood and had small, intricate carvings etched into the corners.The desk was a large, solid piece of furniture made from a rich, dark wood. It had a leather blotter and an ornate inkwell, as well as a computer and several stacks of papers and files. On either side of the desk, there were two tall, narrow bookcases filled with more books and ancient artifacts.The most striking feature of the room was the collection of swords and blades that adorned the walls. These weapons were beautifully crafted and looked as if they had been taken from some of the greatest battles in history. There were m
"So, Jason, Aiden tells me you work for him," Janet said, breaking the silence. "What do you do?""I'm his right-hand man," Jason replied, his voice low and measured. "I handle a lot of his business affairs.""That must be quite demanding," Janet said, impressed."It has its challenges," Jason said, taking a sip of his wine. "But I enjoy the work."Chloe could sense the tension between them, and she decided to take matters into her own hands. "Janet, I'm curious. What did you think Jason in the first place?" she asked, hoping to get the conversation flowing.Janet blushed, and Chloe could tell she was nervous. "Well, he just seemed so...mysterious," Janet said. "And he's always so quiet, like he's hiding something."Chloe noticed Jason's eyebrows raise at Janet's comment, and she could feel the energy between them shifting."I suppose you could say I have a complicated past," Jason said, his eyes meeting Janet's. "But I try not to let it define me."Janet nodded, and Chloe could see t
Chloe's heart was pounding as she read the message from her pack. She knew what it meant. She would have to leave the palace, her newfound freedom, and everything she had come to love. She wasn't sure she was ready to face Liam and his father again.The thought of returning to her pack filled her with dread. She had been treated like an outcast and a failure, ever since she was a pup. And now, after all this time, they were summoning her back. She couldn't help but feel angry and resentful.Chloe knew that Liam would be waiting for her, with his cold, calculating eyes, ready to scrutinize her every move. She had always been his target, his punching bag. She had endured his verbal and physical abuse for years, but she was no longer the scared pup that he could push around.But what about Aiden? She couldn't bear the thought of leaving him behind. They had grown so close in such a short time, and she felt a deep connection to him that she had never felt with anyone else. He had shown he
Chloe was beyond angry. She had just returned to her pack, thinking that she would finally have a chance to live her life on her own terms. But instead, she was met with the news of her impending wedding ceremony. How could they do this to her? Didn't they care about her happiness at all?As she stormed through the halls of the packhouse, she was stopped by Linda. "Chloe, my dear, I'm so glad you're back. We have so much to plan for your wedding ceremony!"Chloe's eyes narrowed. "What wedding ceremony? I never agreed to this."Linda's expression faltered for a moment before she composed herself. "Well, dear, it's tradition. And your mate has already been chosen for you. It's time for you to settle down and start a family. It's for the good of the pack."Chloe could feel the rage building inside of her. "And what about my happiness? What about what I want? You can't just force me into a life that I don't want!"Linda placed a hand on Chloe's shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Chloe, I
Aiden sat in his throne room, deep in thought. The room was grand, with high vaulted ceilings and walls adorned with intricate carvings and murals depicting epic battles and legendary creatures. The floor was made of polished marble, reflecting the light of the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The throne itself was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, with intricate carvings of dragons and other mythical creatures adorning the arms and backrest.Aiden couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss as he thought about Chloe. He had let her go back to Liam, and now he feared that he had lost her for good.
