Chloe's POVHow could it be like this? It has been five years. For those five years, I did my best to forget everything. Desperately, I did my best to abandon my feelings, to the point where I foolishly fooled myself that I have put everything in the past. All that sadness, the way my heart aches when I think of those painful memories I had with Blake… the way my soul still longed for him despite everything that happened… the way my body yearned for him to come closer so that I could touch his body heat… All those feelings of happiness and belongingness that he taught me…I thought I have forgotten Blake and made everything, all the memories we made together a colorful part of my past. I deluded myself that when I saw him, I would be able to put everything behind and only strive forward towards my goals. Who knew that I was wrong… so horribly wrong…"C’mon Chloe, bring it on. Right here and now, attack me with all your might! I am giving you a chance to attack me without any defen
Chloe's POVMy heart sank as those dreaded words reached my ears, and I couldn't help but flinch. Blake had been right all along. We had both attempted to break free from the ties that bound us. As for me, I had given it my all to forget him, filling my days to the brim, drowning my thoughts in busyness. But as soon as I laid eyes on him again, the futility of my efforts became painfully evident.I could no longer deny the truth. Forgetting Blake? If I searched the deepest corners of my heart, there he was, a constant presence.Erasing him from my life? I had deceived myself into thinking I had succeeded, yet, as time passed, wasn't Blake the very first thought that greeted me in the morning? Wasn't he the last thought before I surrendered to sleep? And now, here he stood, holding my hand. A simple touch sent shivers through my soul.Could I truly continue to ignore it? Could I honestly brush aside these overpowering emotions that surged within me whenever I looked into his eyes? C
ChloeIt was an hour after our talk, I was standing outside of the hall, feeling a little anxious yet content. Standing closely behind me was Blake. Like me, he was quiet and not saying a word. But though we were quiet, it was not uncomfortable. Because there were no words needed to be said between us. At that moment, I felt like I fully understood Blake. The two of us moved together towards the hall and I peeked inside. When I saw what was inside the hall, the comfortable feeling in my heart immediately vanished and was replaced with irritation. Inside the hall, all of my pack members are laying on the ground, unconscious. In the middle of them were Arthur and another man, watching at my pack members with distracted and confused expressions. "Are you sure my pack members are not hurt?" I hissed at Blake who also peeked inside. "It's been an hour, why are they still unconscious?" I questioned him.Instead of answering my question, Blake gave me a smirk as if my question was funny. I
ChloeEveryone looked at our direction, frozen in place. “Chloe!” After announcing my presence, it was Caleb who broke the silence in the hall. His attention immediately shifted to me as he automatically ignored Idris and Arthur while he rushed at me to see my condition. “Are you alright? You are not hurt aren’t you?” With worry washing over him, Caleb looked at me as he looked at Blake with vigilance.“You… What did you do to her?! How dare you lay your hands on our Alpha!” The hostility in Caleb’s eyes were apparent as his body stood in a defensive stance as if ready to take on Blake at any time. The tension started to rise up once more but Blake only stood still and did not react to Caleb's provocation. “Caleb, I'm fine, and calm down. He did not do anything and we have already reached an agreement.” Not wanting for the hostility to cause another chaos once more, I immediately held back Caleb from approaching Blake any further.“Wait, what? Did this person pressure you to come
Chloe I felt a wave of headache coming as I saw that provocative look on Caleb’s face.To make it worse, Idris on the other side had a taunting look as if he did not take Caleb’s hostility seriously. “Caleb, Allan, quickly wrap up so that we can finally start the cooperation.” In the end, I raised my voice and reminded them to focus on what business everyone had today. To my relief, Calleb seemed to have adjusted his state of mind and focused once more. “Hmmm… strange…” On the other hand, I felt Idris’s puzzled gaze landing in my direction. There was a curious yet knowing look in his eyes as his gaze darted back and forth between me and Blake. My heart jumped in nervousness at the thought that Idris might have figured out something; however, I remained calm in my expression. Since Blake agreed to my decision to hide the state of our relationship with everyone, I decided to put my trust in the words he gave and finally put the matter aside. After all, our focus now is on defeati
ChloeThe sun had already set and the moonlight shone its silver glow.In the clearing blows a gentle breeze that enveloped my body as I stood in wait. It was a long day for the two of us as well as our pack members. Nevertheless, I did not even think for a second before agreeing to meet Blake once more. Breathing slowly, I looked around and thought that Blake wasn’t here yet. But suddenly a pair of hands wrapped my body from behind pulling me gently. Blake’s scent teased my nose as my entire back felt the warmth of his embrace. For a second, I thought that I could have a place to finally be at peace in those five years of chasing the revenge I wanted. It is mysterious and befuddling to realize how easy it was for me to accept being this close to Blake after all this time. I did not expect to see myself feeling perfectly alright in his arms. My heart was screaming that I belong to his side, such a magical thing. “Long day?” Blake’s voice was soft, yet it carried a lot of power t
Chloe“A mate? He had a wife.” “Alpha Kain Kain had a wife!?” Surprised, I looked at Blake and asked.As soon as he heard my words, Blake paused and a mysterious light shrouded his eyes as he replied, “As far as I know, he had a wife… but strangely, no one in the inner circle knew about her.” “I thought that once I join the inner ranks, I would have access to this matter, however, it seems like the matter about Alpha Kain’s companion is not a relevant matter, that is why no one was even curious about it.” “I see…” I muttered, since even Blake who already managed to infiltrate Alpha Kain’s deepest rank did not know the details, I could only drop the matter. While it was really advantageous for us to know who exactly our enemies were, it is normal that we could not find everything about our enemies. If it was so easy to spy on everything they were, then we might not be in this situation where we had to hide and cooperate in the dark to defeat them. “Don’t worry about it that much
BlakeLiving the days like I should as a King to my pack and as a family to Carrie and Arthur, I repeatedly lied to myself about how I could be happy with just knowing that somewhere out there, Chloe is still alive. But my wolf, Eron, was violently protesting. When Chloe and I separated, Eron never blamed me, even though I was not able to protect our mate and cub. He made his presence known and we shared the pain in what happened. But one night, a few days after Chloe and I separated, everything changed. Eron was forced to wake me up in the middle of the night, wanting to shift and find his mate. “She’s there… my mate! She’s finally out there!” Confused as to why my ever silent wolf, who did not even torment me the moment I allowed Chloe to leave, became this insistent. “I am telling you Blake… our mate we have to find her,” Eron insisted once more. “I wanted to find her too… but Eron, we will just push her even further if we insist on finding her now…” I clenched my fist and t
