After the farce, I did not know how I managed to get back to the pack house. I found myself in the midst of witnessing Vanessa’s outburst as she practically dragged me back to the Alpha’s study. In the room there was a heavy silence, with Vanessa in front, the nervous Lisa, Alan who is basically opposed to being part of the conversation due to having to oversee the aftermath of the farce with the Alpha, and finally Blake who only looked at me without saying a word. Vanessa’s entire body was trembling and the anger on her face had already made her face flush in red. Looking at me sharply, she was trying to control her outburst as she asked, “Did you know about this, Chloe?” “Of course… how would I not?” I looked her straight in the eye and answered without sugar coating my words. “Yet you dare to deceive me?!” Vanessa raised her brows and questioned once more. However, she seemed to have realized something as her face suddenly froze as she mumbled, “Then during the inaugural c
Blake's POV“Lycan King Blake, your Luna came back to the red moon pack pregnant, yet why did I not see you coming to us to take her back at once?!”'What did she say?' I froze, my entire being shackled by an icy grip, rendering me motionless in the face of this incredulous revelation. It was as if the world had turned to stone, freezing the very essence of my existence. For the first time, I seemed to have crashed down. Never before had my mind been so bereft, a barren wasteland where thoughts dared not venture.The words hung in the air, like a suspended melody that refused to resolve. They swirled in the hollow caverns of my consciousness, echoing wildly in my mind and defied comprehension. ‘No… could it be my imagination?’ I thought to myself. Those words… they were like a twisted mirage, a phantom whisper conjured by the capricious whims of my imagination? ‘Ya, hah! Surely, my ears had deceived me,’ I started to say.Yet, as the weight of those words settled upon my soul, doub
Chloe’s POV The room froze upon Blake’s declaration. I heard Blake's words, and for a fleeting moment, time stood still. Blake, despite everything we had been through, still held on to his belief in me. His unwavering faith in my character shook me to the core. His faith in me was unchanging, and despite all the pain and difficulties I brought to him, still chose to believe in me. I had left him… caused him pain… I kept the truth about our child hidden from him… yet he still chose to believe in me. Despite everything I did to him, when he saw that I was in an unfavorable position, his first reaction was to……protect me. A surge of conflicting emotions washed over me, mingling guilt and gratitude. Ever since we recognized each other, all he did was for me. And I have been selfish towards him. Yet despite my actions, he acted on his instinct to protect me, to shield me from harm. Suddenly, I felt my eyes turn warm. The weight of Blake’s unwavering love and support bore down on m
The room fell into an eerie stillness, the silence only magnifying the tension that hung in the air. Blake, who had remained quiet throughout, stood there with an imposing presence. An unsettling shift occurred as his aura grew increasingly oppressive, emanating a destructive energy that seemed to permeate the space.Alan's expression changed in response, a flicker of concern crossing his face. Reacting instinctively, he swiftly positioned himself in front of Vanessa, a clear gesture of protection. It was evident that he understood the power Blake possessed and sought to shield Vanessa from any harm.Blake's gaze met Alan's defensive stance, and a subtle smirk curved upon his lips. It was a display of arrogance, as if he viewed Alan as nothing more than a trivial insect in his path. The unspoken message was clear – Alan's efforts to shield Vanessa would be futile against Blake's formidable strength.Vanessa's complexion paled further, her features betraying a mix of fear and apprehens
Blake’s pleading eyes and trembling voice managed to shake the depths of my heart. However, I used every bit of my self control so that my thoughts would not resurface outwardly. I looked at Blake, maintaining my expression as calmly as I could. But only I knew that my entire being was about to go crazy. Blake, my mate… my other half. He was my sole weakness and the one who held my heart in the palm of his hands. So much so that even as we both struggle with our differences, my love for him screams. Every bit of my being, my heart and my soul all knew how much I wanted to ignore all complications and hug him in response. But reality was too strong and cruel for me this time. From the moment of my father’s death, then to the sudden threat of countless enemies until Blake’s matter… My body and soul are physically tired at the moment. The headache that has been brewing from earlier on was now attacking me in full force, causing my vision to turn blurry and my mind feel like it wa
Blake's POVWhile my exhilaration over the matter of Chloe’s pregnancy overwhelmed me, the desire to be with her became stronger than ever. Wearing my heart on my sleeves, I begged with all my heart for Chloe to return to me. That she and I would spend our days in the Silver pack while we await for our child to be born in this world.But in the end, I saw Chloe’s exhausted state. Her pale complexion doused my selfish begging to come back to reality and addressed the matter at hand. Like a strike of lightning, it dawned on me that Chloe had been through a lot just today. From her father’s death, to facing those greedy useless Alpha with confidence, then to containing Vanessa’s annoying tantrums. It might appear that Chloe is strong and confident, she was still exhausted and affected by the matters that happened. This was really a long day for her. Even more so, she was with our child… and was almost hurt earlier. All these things came back at me, slapping my selfish and thought
Chloe's POVThe air was filled with a sense of serenity as Blake and I found ourselves in a quiet place. It may have been coincidental, or maybe subconscious on my part, but I let Blake to the secluded part of the forest behind the pack house... the very place where we had our first meaningful conversation... that time we talked after he marked me. The forest seemed to breathe with life. Leaves rustled in the wind, whispering secrets that only nature could comprehend. The gentle swaying of branches created a mesmerizing dance, as if the trees themselves were in harmony with the rhythm of the earth. It looked so lively... very contrary to the emotions that I was feeling inside. I stood there, gazing at the horizon, the chilly wind blowing on my face. Deep inside, the memories of that time started flooding back to me. It was the first time I discovered about Vanessa and Alan's betrayal. Then, my father had forcibly switched our mates. That time, I was scared and confused. I was very
I gazed at the familiar road that led to the Silver Pack, my heart unsettled within me and I was feeling a lot of mixed emotions.After agreeing to return, Blake wasted no time arranging for our homecoming. Surprisingly, some members of the Red Moon Pack showed reluctance of letting me go. Vanessa, on the other hand, could not wait push me away. To ensure my comfort, Blake instructed everyone to give me space and rest. From the moment we left the Red Moon Pack, although everyone was respectful, no one has said a word to me. Walking beside me, Blake's presence was reassuring, but I couldn't help but notice the sorrow etched on his face. He was giving me the space and time I needed and does not talk with me, yet he glanced at me every few minutes. It was as if he was afraid I would vanish before his eyes. It was as if he was guarding me with unwavering devotion.A few hours has passed like this. Just then, someone approached us.“King Blake, I have something to report,” it was a beta w
