Chloe's POVThe morning sky emerged in a breathtaking shade of blue, exuding an aura of serenity and calmness. Birds were chirping around the garden, making its peaceful demeanor stand in stark contrast to the scenes of strife and chaos that enveloped the darkness of the preceding night. A few feet away from us, Arthur emerged, catching Carrie off guard and causing her to choke on her food. Blake and I exchanged amused glances as we witnessed the unexpected scene. Arthur's face displayed a mix of concern and helplessness as he addressed Carrie, his worry evident in his voice."Carrie… Are you okay?" Arthur asked with a worried look. However, before he could approach her, Carrie swiftly moved and sought refuge behind me. "Okay… I'm okay…" Carrie answered with a bright blush. With a reddened face, she assured everyone that she was fine, albeit with a hint of embarrassment. The once lively Carrie had transformed into a timid individual, while Arthur appeared at a loss for what to do
Chloe's POVAs the night settled in, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Blake. With intention, I informed him of my weariness, carefully masking my true intentions by pretending to doze off. Once I was certain Blake had departed, I stealthily slipped out into the darkness to meet Lyra. Stepping into Lyra's bedroom, located at the far end of the pack house, I discovered her already waiting for me. The room itself exuded an air of mystery, shrouded in darkness, with only faint traces of moonlight seeping through the window, casting ethereal beams across the space. Shadows danced along the walls, lending an enigmatic ambiance to the scene. As I stood there, an inexplicable sense of foreboding gripped me, as if an invisible force whispered caution in my ear, urging me to heed its warning.Thoughts swirling in my mind, I caught sight of Lyra, visibly wounded and wearing a pained expression."You're here?" she greeted me, her lips forming a faint smile. Without he
A cold gust of air approached me, sending waves of goosebumps in my body. Caught unprepared, I relied on my instincts to step back and dodge quickly in another direction. Skkkk!Still, the attacker managed to wound the side of my cheeks as he turned to where I was dodged and launched another attack again. I no longer cared about what direction to run off too. All I knew was that I needed to run for my life and escape. The chilling temperature in the air became colder and colder as it swept speedily on my body. Behind me I could sense that there were now several figures turned to pursue me. ‘They were not alone!’ This time my mind remembered the face of my attacker a few moments ago. His eyes were bloodshot, but a trace of excitement ran on his face. It is as if getting me killed would be the price he only needed. ‘Who are these people?’ I wondered as the cold beads of sweat trickled all over my body. I desperately searched for something to hide in the forest. But the dark of
Blake's POVThat entire afternoon, I could not help but become uneasy. Lyra’s snide remarks pierced through my heart and caused my soul to stir in worry and fear that Chloe would figure something out. It is not that I wanted to lie about the entire situation. I just knew that Chloe would beat herself up the moment she knew of these things. I cannot bring myself to tell what happened when she left, I could not bear to see her feeling guilty about it all. “Blake…”Placing back and forth in the office, Arthur who had just finished his report, sighed, and called my name.I turned on him and realized that he looked at me with a hint of blame and helplessness, “Don’t blame Lyra too much…” His expression and words caused my face to darken as I felt exasperated to hear that kind of thing in his mouth, “Arthur, can you hear what you are saying?!” I looked at him in glaring frustration as my thunderous voice roared, “Because of her running her mouth needlessly, Chloe chose to run off! Now
Blake's POVI tapped on the power of my wolf and immediately shot towards where their scent was going. I rushed deeper and deeper in the woods, until Chloe and the other’s scents thickened and intertwined. Finally, I stopped seeing the situation my mate was in. Trapped and helpless, I saw Chloe collapsed in the ground while several attacks were already rushing to take her life away. Her body was full of scratches and dirt, her face filled with tears and horror. She was closing her eyes, as if she had already resigned to her fate.‘How dare you!’ The intense will to kill and destroy covered me as I moved as fast as I could and killed off the attackers. As I rushed, I could see the smug look on their faces, looking at my mate like she was a prize to win. These sc*ms think they could even step on me as if they were powerful? Before me, the Lycan King, they will die without even having a chance to scream for their lives. Their lives were like a piece of paper to me, so easy to tea
Chloe's POV“Chloe… what have the two of you done?” Lying on the bed, I felt cold all over my body as I heard Teacher Astor’s question. He was trembling as he looked at me in sorrow, pity and grief. His question was only composed of two words but I know the entire implication of it. What did Blake and I have done to come to this? My eyes darted at Teacher Astor who was scrambling on the cabinet of medicine and tools trying to save me while he mumbled these words.I opened my mouth to answer my teacher’s question but the strength in me finally left and everything went black. I did not know how long I was sleeping but I was brought back to my consciousness once again when I smelled a faint scent of calming incense. “Teacher…” I searched for Teacher Astor as I forced myself to sit.“Chloe, don’t force yourself… Lie and rest.” Teacher Astor felt my movements and immediately warned. I shook my head and insisted on sitting, looking at my teacher pleadingly as I asked, “How’s my child
Chloe’s POVI knelt on the ground, blankly staring at the grave feeling light headed. I still could not believe that my baby was gone and could never see the light of the world. Carrie was beside me, with her heartbreaking cries she carefully decorated the surroundings of the grave with flowers. Placing the last flower on my hand, I touched the ground and took a handful of earth on my baby’s grave. Tears started to fall once more as I remembered that I would be leaving this place once more. In my heart, I would never ever go back to this place again. ‘Watch me from above, my lovely child…’ I whispered silently in my heart as I pulled my body up and stood. “Hic…” But as I took a step forward, my body and my mind began to crumble once more in devastation. ‘What could be my reason to live?’ ‘My baby is gone…’ ‘I cannot be with Blake as well…’ ‘Where to?’ “Chloe, are you alright?” Carrie speedily stood and caught up to me, immediately preventing me from falling. “I-im fine Car
Chloe's POVI placed the dagger strongly in my hand and looked at the direction where the presence was coming from. Only then did I see a young man approaching the area I am in. He stepped out from the shadows and revealed himself. There was a spear in his hand, and a dead rabbit on the other. One look and I could see that he had gone for a quick hunt and stumbled to me, unfortunately.He had a tanned skin tone that lay underneath his tattered clothes. His eyes emitted a trace of vigilance and coldness but strangely upon seeing me, the vigilance diminished a lot. ‘A rogue?’ I raised my brow in wonder, as I looked at him and observed his actions. But the more I looked at him, the more I was confused. Although he really looked like someone who had spent a lot of time in the forest, his entire demeanor and appearance did not look like the vicious rogues at all. Beside his tattered clothes, his long hair was tied neatly in a man bun and his nails were all fleshy pink, without a sign
