Chloe's POV
'What do I do Chloe? Do you go to them? We are a part of their pack, we marked Lucas, I want to stay with Alaric though, mark him' 'Shift me back! NOW!' we shifted back instantly, Alarics look of surprise was unforgettable. "If I go to them, they may stop attacking, they are hear for me" panic in my voice. 'Chloe!? Where are you? I'm coming for you my love!' Lucas was in my head suddenly sending a shiver down my spine, Goddess I missed his voice, woah, shake that out of your head girl."You would go to them because you love him too" Alaric's eyes were expressionless, back like they used to be when I first got here "I'd go to save everyone including you, them also, no one should die if I can stop it" He looked down at me anger overtaking him, that raw animalistic feeling seeping out of him, I could feel it all.He started to shift when I grabbed his hand, he stopped and turned back to himself when I jumped up on him, completely aware that I was fulLucas's POV We have been scouting all the areas surrounding the parts we no longer feel our wolves.For weeks I have tried to be patient, waiting to find her, hold her, kiss her all again. I can't believe it has been so long, her scent is no longer in the house or on anything she owns. I need to smell her, feel her touch, I miss those tingles, the way she touches me, the feel of her bare skin touching mine. 'Ugh oh Gage we need her' 'We will get her if I have to rip every single wolf that is around her to shreds, I want our mate now' he was pacing and growling so deep my chest was rumbling' Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to stare at me, my Alpha aura rolling off of me, when I realized I reigned it back in."Apologies, so Beta David, where are we? When are we going to be able to break through their borders?" I noticed David look over to Austen, then to Cole and Finn."Finn, Cole and Austen found a witch that will be willing to help u
Lucas's POV As I watched Endora being taken away on Finns back, I linked everyone to tell them to be careful, shift the moment you can, stalking through as quietly as possible.As we trekked through the woods, close to the paths that were laid out for about an hour we finally started to see houses coming into view. As we got closer to the town we were sensed, we heard alarms going off, then wolves appeared in front of us, they surrounded the entire town, also some creatures like the one that made its way into our home, the monster that took Chloe except now there were multiple around, weaving themselves throughout the wolves. Vampires were in the shadows, we could see their red eyes.'The vampires can't attack out in the daylight, stay clear of the shadows of possible, if they attack pull them into the light!' 'Yes Alpha' Growls were filling the air from both sides, louder and louder they became until the first attacks started. I needed to find Chloe, I didn't want her caught up in
Chloe's POV I can feel Alaric, hus emotions are overwhelming as he stares at me, he's all over the place right now, I can feel his eyes on me, lust pouring from him, love stronger than before, admiration, want, a need, a hint of worry as well. 'You saved me? I didn't want you to do that Chloe. Are you feeling okay?' I was steady staring down at myself 'I saved you because I love you, I wouldn't let him hurt you, we had to do what we did' hoping he can hear the love from me as I feel his swell.Callie was all rage right now, anger just cascading through us when she stopped, snapped her head to the side, looking at Lucas. she lowly growled at him. His eyes widened, his fear and confusion as he looked at us, well up at us, not by much but for us we've never been so tall before. I walked closer to him, bent down inhaling his scent from his neck, looking at his neck now I could see my mark on his neck, when I had marked him on my birthday I didn't get to see it heal, e
Alaric's POV That guy walking up, looking me in the eyes, without wavering, I knew he wanted to embrace her so I bit back that initial jealousy then nodded to him. He was obviously respectful unlike most would be. Then I saw him look to his Alpha, rage seeping from him but he looked back at her, embracing her in a tight hug iniwhich she returned.I knew they were speaking to one another but words weren't processing with me at the moment as I watched the moment around us all. No one on either side was moving, some slowly shifting back then putting some clothes on but they all stood in place just watching everything unfold around them.The fighting had stopped, no more blood shed. We lost a few on both sides, I felt the link break 6 times, others definitely injured. When the man hugging her finally let her go, I could tell they were still speaking, privately through mindlink, made me wonder what kind of relationship these two seemed to have. I felt myself b
Chloe's POV It's been two week living back in this house. Lucas has been giving me my space, not sleeping in my room, being respectful to my privacy. When we first got back he came right into my room to take a shower, I knew he expected me just just join him, as if nothing had changed, no time had passed, but I couldn't do it. I ended up downstairs eating, waiting for him to come find me "Where did you go? To hungry to take a shower?" He had a cocky tone that I really didn't appreciate "Yes I was hungry, but I also wasn't just ready to jump into a shower, then bed with you. Honestly I need some time, a lot just happened to us all, plus me shifting finding out I'm a Lycan, it's just a lot to process." I sighed deeply then looked to him, his eyes were dark, anger in them was apparent. "Where's Alpha Michael? I would like to see him after I clean myself up" he looked down "He's down in the cabin by the lake at the far west of our territory, he relinquished his title
Lucas's POV 'You hurt our mate! I told you not to touch that witch but you didn't listen, you blocked me out, not mate is hurt' Gage is reeling in me right now, trying to ouch forward, show her he still loves her, wants to beg her not to leave him but I am torn.I went to shower, in her shower like she asked me to do. We aren't done, she said, I don't know if I want to know where this is going.Turning on the shower, stepping in letting the heat run over my body as I scrub off Endora's scent off of me. I don't know what had come over me, since the moment I saw her she has consumed my thoughts, no matter howbhard Gage would fight against it I couldn't help myself, most times I didn't even hear him until it was to late anyway, letting those feelings take over me.I finished cleaning myself, I scrubbed myself so hard I was red, I did it twice as well. I didn't mean to hurt Chloe, I definitely wanted to get her scent off of me for her also.As I got o
Chloe's POV 'You coming to the training field this morning or we meeting later?' Beta David came through the mindlink waking me up "Shit!" 'I can't believe we overslept' 'Late night sex then passing out before setting our alarm will do that Clo' 'So true, but it felt good to sleep finally, haven't done that since we've been back' I jumped out of bed 'I'm coming! Give me like 10 minutes' 'Already started class, why not meet me in an hour for coffee, take this morning off then come to afternoon training instead' I sighed, I knew he was right, I could use a shower then breakfast 'Okay, coffee, one hour, but I'm buying' I jumped in the shower letting the hot water basically boil my skin. When I got out my skin was all red from the heat but it felt good, I also felt the need to clean everything off of me from last night with Lucas. I can't believe we did that right after he did with someone else.Ugh, this is so frustrating, I miss Aria, I could use her right
Chloe's POV The last month has gone by in a blur, lots of training, learning to control my anger, spending time with friends as well as attempting to work on things with Lucas.We have gone one dates, attempted to try making more time everyday for one another but its still not how it was. I can feel that Gage is happy with us but Lucas isn't really all there when with us. I believe that Lucas has fallen for that witch Endora but Gage forces him to be with his mate.We were supposed to go out tonight but I told him that I needed a night to myself for a change. It's not true, I just needed a night without trying to force a smile on my face, a break from feeling his emotions. He was perfectly fine with it, kissed my cheek then left the house.'You know he's going to her, even of they don't do anything intimate, they are together' 'I know Callie, I'm sorry, I just needed the night, let's go for a run' she nodded then jumped up in excitement, she loves night runs more than anything.Mindl
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
