Chloe's POVWhile my head was telling me to stay my body just relaxed into Lucas's body. He smelled sweet yet earthy and it was intoxicating. I tried to stop crying and eventually felt myself drifting back off to sleep while wrapped in his arms.I awoke, in what seemed like hours later as it was now dark in the room and the light was off. Still feeling him around me I looked up to him as he was sleeping in the bed with me holding onto me so tight it kept me feeling at peace. I tried to sit up but he pulled me even closer to his chest and then he whispered to me "Don't go, I want to keep you with me" I looked up at him and he opened his eyes, those piercing blue eyes and I felt my whole body tremble at his words. "I don't have anywhere to go, they were all I had left in my life" the tears building again "I will stay with you, if you are positive about me staying, I don't want to be an inconvenience or make anyone feel out of place" he looked down to me and gently touch my face rubbing
Chloe's POV As we walked out of the hospital I realized we were in a town I had never seen before. With wide eyes I looked all around in a state of shock to having no idea where I was anymore. I thought I was in town, my town, I thought I would see my school and the coffee shop I liked to go to some days after classes but I wasn't there, I was somewhere brand new. I looked over at Lucas who was watching me intently with a smile on his face, unsure what to say I smiles shyly back at him and then continued looking all around us.'Wow this place is beautiful Callie, but I have no idea where we are? How can we be here? There is no town close to ours and yet here we are. I mean I couldn't have run so far that we ended up in a completely different area. and Lucas said he went to the house, I don't understand...' 'Chloe, I am just as confused, I know we didn't run to a whole other town, we couldn't have run that far, we didn't run for more that 20 minutes but look around us! This place is a
Lucas's POV When we walked out of the hospital I looked down to her and saw the expression on her face when she looked around at her new surroundings, I can't tell if she was nervous or not. The realization that she wasn't where she probably thought she was hit her but she looked almost at peace with it. I didn't want to say anything, just wanted her to be able to take it all in and only answer her if she questioned anything. When we got to the car and she got in, I took in a deep breath, put her bag in the trunk before climbing in next to her. I couldn't help but look at her, constantly watching her expressions, she truly says everything with her eyes, they speak volumes, she looked at me and I could tell she realized I was watching her with a ridiculous grin upon my face and she smiled ever so shyly before looking down and then back to the window. It took everything in me to not want to touch her face so she would look at me again, those deep eye staring into mine, instead I just k
Chloe's POV As Lucas leads me up the stairs of the house I looked either way down long halls that have many doors, wondering why there seems to be so many rooms when I assumed just his parents, sister and himself lived here yet it looked like they housed a ton of people, like the people in the loving room, I wonder if they stay here also. 'This place is way bigger inside that I thought it would be, kind of intimidating, we could get lost' I laugh at myself 'yeah definitely don't want to get lost in here, our luck we would never find the kitchen again' 'oh yeah, I can't wait to go in there and look around, wonder if they will let you cook, I miss your food Chloe' I smiled at that and saw Lucas look to me and smile at me. As we made our way up a second flight of stairs I noticed that there was only 3 doors on this floor. He went to the second door and reached for the knob, turning it slowly before pausing and looking to me "I hope this room is okay for you, you will have your own bathr
Chloe's POV Standing in my towel, feeling very exposed as I stare at the smiling face in front of me. "You're Chloe, right!?" "Ummm.. Yes... Are you Austen?" I could barely make eye contact "Yes! I am so happy to finally meet you!!! I hope you don't mind, sorry for just bursting in here I thought I'd be back out before you came out of the bathroom. I forgot to put some stuff in here that I got you. When my brother went and got stuff for you from your house he was a bit embarrassed about going through your panties" she chuckles "so I went and got you some when I got some clothes for you so I wanted to bring them in here so you had some stuff, hope you don't mind." I was a bit stunned, I didn't even think about that, and it's cute he was shy and didn't grab those. "Wow, thank you so much I can't believe you did all that for me. I don't know what to say." I was so thankful, looking at her I was in awe of her beauty, she looked a lot like Lucas, perfect waist length hair that was a beaut
Chloe's POV Walking into the kitchen was like a dream, it was huge and had dark gray marble counter tops with white cabinets and a giant island in the middle where there was a flattop stove. The dining table was in here also, which could seat like 14 people at a time. The chandelier had to be my favorite, it was so intricate with different little crystals hanging from where the candle like lights were, if the sun hit it just right the whole room would light up in a variety of colors.Lucas sat me at the counter on a stool while he started taking out food "What's your favorite foods to eat?" He glanced over to me "I love everything, I'm not really picky but my favorites are steak and pizza" I lightly laughed as he stared at me and then a smile grew on his face and turned back to the fridge. He took out some of the biggest steaks I had ever seen and I felt my stomach grumble. "I am going to make us steak, do you like potatoes too?" "I love potatoes, anyway you can make them" I was exci
Lucas's POV After spending the day with her and then watching movies and eating pizza and ice cream, she devoured a whole bag of that popcorn, I was even more enthralled with her. 'She smells like lilacs and peppermint, I want to bury my nose into her neck and breath her in' 'She will think we are completely insane if I randomly start sniffing at her Gage, keep your composure, we don't want to scare her' 'ugh I want to be closer to her now, I don't want to wait any longer, I want my mate now' I rolled my eye's and pushed Gage back before he starts growling and scares her. I love her laugh, she laughs a lot and her whole face lights up. When we watched the second Avengers final movie she cried, she was so sad and I feel like she cried a lot because of her own feelings as well as the character dying. She connects with the characters, it's pretty adorable to see how invested she gets with them. I can't help myself but to keep looking over to her, I try to do it without her noticing but a
Chkoe's POV "Lucas, don't stop, I want all of you, please" I moaned as he was slowly kissing down my body lifting my shirt and slowly kissing every inch of my stomach. As he traveled higher he pulled my bra up over my breasts and slowly licked around my nipple before scraping his teeth against it sending a tingling sensation through my entire body making my pussy pulsate and tighten. I could feel how wet my panties were becoming as he conti used to kiss and lick me. "Lucas" I kept moaning feeling breathless and flushed by what was happening to me. He slowly moved his way down my stomach again, kissing the entire way, using his teeth to pull my shorts down just a tiny bit, enough to kiss my pelvic area while cupping my breast with one hand and his other hand tinkling further up my thigh. He stopped and looked up at me, those perfect piercing blue eyes staring into mine when he smirked and started pulling my shorts off of me. He laid between my legs, still staring at me, I was biting m
Chloe's POV"Push! Keep pushing Clo! You can do this!"I feel him wipe sweat from my forhead with a towel while his other hand is being crushed by my grip while I push with everything in me.Screams tearing from my throat at the excruciating pain when suddenly it stops, my head falls back hitting the small uncomfortable pillow on the bed when I hear him.A babies cry, my son, crying as he is placed down on my chest for me to wipe off.Lucas's eyes filled with tears as he peers down at his son before looking to me, smiling before he leans down to kiss my head."He's perfect my love, you did amazing, I'm so proud of you."I looked down at this perfect little bundle that I was holding in my arms as I feel a tear slip down my cheek when his eyes open, they fixated on mine instantly while he laid there.Just feeling one another, bonding to one another, seeing his gray eyes looking up at him, he was so tiny, fragile, but absolutely breathtakingly perfect."Welcome to the world my little pri
Chloe's POV It's been two months since we laid Alaric to rest. Today is the twins first birthday party, we are celebrating a week late to add in Aria and her son Mikey for his first as well.I have been spending most of my time with the kids, bringing them to do my Luna duties as well.No one is ever bothered having them there with me, they live getting to see their late Kings pups, watching them grow.They are loved by everyone in our pack, treated like family by all, including Mikey who I tend to keep with me as well.Aria has been helping me out a lot with Luna duties as well, taking care of things I don't have the time for, like checking homes, making sure everyone has what they need, no one here goes without.We have Mikey stay with me because the twins treat him as if they are triplets. Rose and Mikey are always together but David tends to go off to play alone.He always seems to walk off alone, not far but far enough where he can't join in when he wants to. I watch him a lot,
Chloe's POV When I woke up in the morning with the kids giggling with one another I smiled at them before reaching behind myself to feel emptiness.My heart stopped for a moment when reality hit me again that he wasn't here, that I had lost him from my life.Bringing my hand up to his mark I ran my fingers across it gently as a tear slipped down my cheek. Wiping it away while I looked at the smiling faces of our babies while looking over to see Lucas looking at me.The love that filled his eyes along with sorrow he was trying to hide from me.Locking eyes he had a small smile on his handsome face making me smile back at him.'We are so lucky to have him' 'We always have been Clo.... I'm sorry for what..''Don't Callie, you have nothing to be sorry for, we are both suffering.'I could feel her curl up in the dark but I also felt a wave of relief run through me from her. We both need to be there for one another to work through this loss, to learn to live without our husband.*****Aft
Chapter 101Lucas’s POV When I saw her stalking slowly towards me, her arm raising into the air to strike against me, I kept trying to speak to her, praying she will hear me somehow. I went to close my eyes but before I could she suddenly stopped, like she was fighting herself, Chloe was fighting to get through to Callie, same as I was. Looking up at her when I watched my beautiful mate shift, her body hitting the ground as she curled into herself. She was covered in dry blood, dirt, sweat, everything, yet she still looked simply perfect to me. I knelt down, pulling her into my arms while carrying her up the stairs to our room, her eyes opening to look up at me as she realized she had control again but the heartbreak in her eyes broke my heart more than it already was. We had lost him, our mate, our family, our King. The kids lost a father, someone that loved them so whole heartily, someone I will do everything in my power that they know about, grow to be like him, strong, lovi
Chloe’s POVSitting back in the darkness of my mind, still feeling the sobs rack through my body as I no longer fought against Callie for control.My body, my mind, everything just felt weak right now, I was broken.It took everything in me to keep us from killing that poor girl in the house, we definitely hurt her, but i fought back, hurting myself to keep from ripping her to pieces. I hope she was able to get some help, hopefully she will heal properly from the gash that sliced through her like a knife cutting through softened butter.The feel of her flesh slicing through our claw felt amazing, almost intoxicating so it took all of me to stop it from happening again.Callie wouldn’t listen to me, she has tried to block me from speaking to her, her rage is consuming her but I am so tired I just don’t know how to get through to her.She ran us off into the woods after I broke our front paw then sliced through my hind leg with my other claw. The pain was overwhelming as I hear her grow
Chloe's POV I walked back into my room after getting the kids down, waiting for Austen to bring some food. I've been avoiding the hospital, seeing him there, like that, with nothing I can do was breaking me.Lucas kept telling me to take my time, it made it easier to stay away having him tell me to, but it still felt really wrong at the same time.I keep thinking, wanting to find a way to help, I don't want to lose him. I want the pups growing up with both their fathers, I want them to know Alaric, have him see them grow, teach them what it is to be a Lycan.Even though I know Lucas loves them as his blood, he doesn't know what it is to raise Lycan pups, neither do I honestly. Being as I'm still learning to adjust to being one, I have control but the thought of explaining or helping someone else know what it's like scares me.Being rational with it, I know by the time they are of age I will know what to do, but I don't want to, I want him here to do it.It sounds selfish, even as I
Austen's POV Hours passed with Chloe, Lucas wanted her to take her time so we sat eating something small then went to sit with the children for a while.It helps her to be around them but I noticed, after a while of being with them that she was starting to seem off again.Knowing I was hungry again, since we didn't really eat anything big before I decided to go down to make us some food before meeting Chloe back in her suite.She started putting the kids down to bed as I went down to the kitchen.After about 30 minutes I headed back up with some sandwiches, chips, veggies, along with fruit since I know how much she likes having strawberries with sliced up bananas.Watching Chloe go through the turmoil that was eating at her.We were sitting down eating, well I was while she sat there trapped inside her own thoughts, even though she is still in this room with me she isn't really here.She was mumbling about dream walking to find him but I'm not exactly tly positive what that is all ab
Lucas's POV After we all sat around, contemplating what to do about Alaric I had to force Chloe to go home so she could see the kids.Her asking about whether her blood could help him put everyone on edge, worry she may try something stupid.Her giving him her blood before barley brought him back, didn't help heal him but kept him from dying.It nearly killed her though, the amount of bloodbshe lost in the process was far to much for her. We can't risk losing her, not after everything, plus Alaric would never be able to live with himself if we risked her. Him just finding out she did what she did on the field while upset him, but he also would expect nothing less of her, we know she would die for either one of us, or our kids.'Lucas, I'm home with the kids, going to spend some time with them then clean up and head back''Please Clo, take your time, I won't leave his side. I love you Chloe, so much.''I love you too Lucas'She cut the link off after that.Sitting here with Alaric, a
Chloe's POV I felt helpless.Waking up to see Alaric like that, seeing how tortured Lucas was by everything, feeling his emotions hanging on by a thread as he tries to remain strong for us.After talking to Damon, we all are just here, looking down at Alaric, my heart racing as I try to come to terms with what is going on."Now what do we do?How can we find out how to bring back his Lycan?"Damon sat down on the bed with me as he flopped an arm over my shoulders while Lucas never stopped staring at Alaric. I looked over at Damon as he sat there, no words being spoken as we all try to figure out something.Damon having magic, I'm praying he may be able to figure out something but my heart was breaking as I tried to focus in on Alaric. I couldn't feel anything.No Lycan.Not even him.I couldn't feel any emotions at all coming from him, it was as if he was gone already yet here he is, laying in a bed in front of my eyes.A machine breathing for him with a weak heartbeat on a monitor
