Alaric's POV Things have been tense around the pack, everyone knew a war was coming our way. Training has been extra intense as well as more frequent. Anyone who cam shift is training unless to old for fighting.Chloe has been quite reserved lately. She kept her word about me pleasuring her multiple times a day, also not letting me have a release. It's been almost a whole month now. I have 3 days before my month of torture is up.I have learned to enjoy ice cold showers daily, I also enjoy pleasing her, I can't get enough of her taste, watching her body writhe with pleasure as she screams my name. During the days she trains with the pack, she also has me privately train her when she is shifted every night then she goes for a run. She doesn't speak much though, even Aria has come to me concerned about her behavior. Walking to the training field this evening I sat off to the corner just watching her stretch her perfect body.I watch her sit down, legs stretch open as she touches her f
Chloe's POV As he lifted me out of the tub, bending me over the side he made a point to ask if I was sure since he had a few days left in his punishment, what he doesn't realize is, this is torture for myself as well as him. Yes I have been taking advantage of the situation, but to feel him cum inside me, ugh, I miss it so much, feeling him deep inside me, his cock pulsating, I need this."Yes! I need it, please, punishment over" my voice was definitely more beastly than I had intended but the next moment was all that mattered.He brought himself to my entrance, rubbing the tip of his hard cock up, then down before he slowly pushed just the tip inside me, a deep moan leaving his lips before he slammed in me, so deep he hit my cervix hard, it hurt making me scream before he continued slamming into me, harder, then faster, my whole body heating up, a tightness over came me before he forced another orgasm out of me. He pulled himself out of me, as I gasped at the feeling of being empty
Chloe's POV I shot up this morning, excited to talk to Aria about getting married "Alaric!" I yelled at his still sleeping self.He groaned while attempting to open his eyes, rubbing the sleep away. He looked up to see me sitting there with a stupidly happy smile upon my face, still excited for the prospect of a wedding."Good morning there my Queen" he said as he yawned, sitting up wrapping his arms around me before pulling me back down on top of him "What are your plans for today?"His smile was purely happy, no hint of anxiousness like he had been having ever since everything happened, "Tell Aria everything then ask her to be my maid of honor!" I giggled after saying that, can't believe I giggled. His eyes lit up as he looked at me before pulling me in for a kiss."I have some things I need to get done today, errands to run" he winked at me "Do you think we could plan everything and be ready with a month?""A month! That's so soon! Why a month? Don't want to waste any time?" "I'd
Chloe's POV The next few weeks flew by. My dress was done, also more than I had ever hoped or dreamed it would be.It ran down to the floor on my small frame as it laid perfectly down on me hugging every little curve of mine.The lace work ran my arms, to a point over my hand, delicately sliding over my middle fingers, tying around them to hold it in place. The intricate pattern went down the top front of my dress in a plunging neckline that revealed my belly button while cupping around my breasts just right. The bottom half of the dress had pearls sewn in upon the lace that had been added creating a train that would follow behind me as I stepped down the aisle. It was like something out of a fairy tale, the vine pattern matched my ring almost perfectly. It took my breath away.My birthday was tomorrow, so my surprise wedding was tomorrow as well. My stomach felt as if it was in knots, it had for the last two weeks now Always feeling a bit on edge, my stomach cascading at times with
Alaric's POV I walked into my room seeing Chloe standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself, she looked to be in her own world, whenever she looked like this, deep in thought I worried it was about him.I know she loves me, that we are mates, we chose one another, we marked one another, it meant something, we were deeply connected but he is her fated mate. She marked him but never let him mark her, I do knownshe worries, especially knowing everything she knows now, knowing he isn't being cruel by choice. Her emotions were everywhere right now."Chloe, baby, you okay? Your emotions are everywhere" seemed like I shocked her back to reality "You still want to do this tomorrow right my love? You feel, I don't know, anxious yet happy, confuse, joyful, unease, all flowing out into me" she looked at me through the mirror, my anxiety was running high now, worry filling me as she stared at me."Alaric, I have a surprise for you" my mind getting put at ease with
Chloe's POV "Good morning my love, Happy Birthday" I open my eyes to see Alaric standing above me with the tray in hand. Stretching out my arms I sniff the air to smell egg benedict with bacon, oh pancakes too with syrup "Mmm smells delicious" I finally got words out before sitting up for him to place the tray over my lap."Good morning my love, thank you so much for all of this I love it." I looked up at him smiling down on me before looking down to my food, when I noticed a smaller box sitting next to the food."What's this? I thought we agreed the wedding is more than enough for my birthday""You agreed to that, I wanted to get you something for the day though, outside of something foe us both" he nudged me as he sat down beside me on the bed, I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.As I lifted the box to open it I leaned over to kiss him, his soft perfect lips sending shivers down my spine "I love you" came out as I was looking at him, a small smile started on his face
Chloe's POV "Wow, Chloe.... I'm speechless! You are stunningly beautiful" the smile on Aria's face as she looked at me took over her entire face, it made me blush."I'm a bit nervous to turn around to look" my words were hesitant, my nerves were all over the place.I closed my eyes as Aria nudged me to turn so that I could see myself all ready to walk down the aisle. I slowly turned to face the mirror, looking down at my feet, seeing the lower part of my gown I looked at the same spot on me in the mirror before lifting my gaze, taking all of me in before finally reaching my face.Gasping when I finally saw all of me. My dress is even more amazing that it was on the hanger, my mouth agape as I stared blinkingly at my reflection. 'Holy Goddess Clo! You are the epitome of gorgeous! More than a bride, you truly are glowing from head to toe' I was honestly speechless right now. My dress fit perfectly, the silky feel flowing perfectly on my body, the intric
Chloe's POV We finished getting ready, it's time.Aria was walking in front of me as we made out way down the stairs of the house, when we reached the first floor she stopped then turned to me but before she could say anything my mouth shot open, words escaping before the thought fully processed in my head "something isn't right Aria, something feels.... off...." "Oh no Clo, it's just nerves right? That's like a thing when people get married, frozen feet or something" she laughed "it's cold feet" I laughed with her "but I don't have cold feet, I want to marry Alaric, I don't know what it is, but something feels wrong, like I can feel darkness close, I can't shake that something bad is about to happen"I felt a shiver run up my spine, 'Callie, keep our senses heightened, maybe I'm just scared because I know we can't shift if something happens' I could feel her nod but even she seemed a bit perplexed."Maybe it's just new waves of feeling because of the preg
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
