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
ChloeIt felt like the first time we met.It's as if I've been transported back to the very moment we first crossed paths. If only my childhood hadn't been tainted by that dreadful poisoning, which left my dear wolf, Aurora, so gravely ill that I lost the ability to shift. This is the sensation I've longed for, the one I would have experienced had I grown up free of that affliction and met Blake in my true form. Our wolves, Eron and Aurora, would have instantly recognized one another… their souls intertwining as if the Moon Goddess herself ordained it.Throughout the night, we ran side by side… there were no words needed to be said, both our hearts were soaring, and our souls felt whole. For the first time in my life, I felt complete.Thus, even though my countenance remained stoic and I did not show it in my face, a profound longing swept over me as I glimpsed the first rays of dawn. "Morning has come," I softly muttered and couldn't help but release a sigh. I ascended a hill and
Chloe“Err… I told you many times, "I am not a thief!” Helpless and dumbfounded, Arthur stood warily while ensuring to create distance with Esha. One look and I knew that Arthur could have restrained Esha right away but did not do so because the place isn’t not their territory. Moreover…I stepped forward with my gaze darkening, observing the mess around the clinic, “What happened here?” My eyes traveled to Esha, then to Arthur, then finally to Caleb and the other onlookers. “Tell me exactly what happened…” I uttered once more leaving a hint of threat to those who refused to talk. “Teacher! There’s a thief in our clinic!” Esha realized that I was already here and immediately rushed to my side. However, as soon as she met my stern gaze, her body froze and immediately realized my mood. Esha stepped back and tried to explain once more, “T-teacher, it’s like this… When I came back here a while ago, I saw this man tinkering in our laboratory… When I saw that he wasn’t a part of our p
ChloeThe noon soon came and I woke up after catching a little bit of sleep. When I got out of my room, I immediately saw Esha’s figure phasing back and forth in my door. Her figure was full of anxiousness and remorse. “T-teacher!” As soon as I swung the door open, Esha looked at me with a conflicted expression. She appears to be hesitating in approaching me because of the mishap she did earlier. “Why are you here? Have you finished restoring the clinic to its original state?” I asked, still with a stern expression. Esha was too young when I met her and started to teach her medicine. Because most of her peers were not able to survive back then, she was always treated in high regard by becoming my student. What happened earlier was a realization to me that I have to build Esha’s good character as well. Esha is shy and timid, but when it comes to certain things like medicine, she may become arrogant and prideful. As such, I decided to use this situation to let her learn about humil
