Marcu's POV. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to Aileen. Happy birthday to you,"I barely listened to the song, all I could hear was the rapidly pounding heart beat of Chloe. Why is she nervous? Because I am going to kiss her in front of everyone? I questioned and stared at her. She's too stubborn and didn't look at me even though I am standing opposite to her.I can't look anywhere else. She's so beautiful tonight in those normal jeans and a green shirt while other women are dressed in their dazzling dresses. She effortlessly gets all my attention. I averted my gaze only when they handed me a piece of cake. Like every year, the party is kind of lavish, filled with our close friends. The one thing I like about the party is there's no dancing or shouting. Chloe and Lily were new here but they mingled with us sooner than I expected.There Chloe looked at me and gave me an awkward smile. She's been avoiding me since this morning to look in my direction, she must have been feeling
Chloe's POVWhat he said made me understand that I am not safe anywhere if I don't know how to protect myself. I need to get strong because even I feel that I am the target of that attack. Maybe I could be wrong but I need to be conscious. I am glad that he's open to me instead of telling the fake promise that I would be safe here. I have so much admiration for him right now. While I was looking at him, the rain started to pour. The sudden lightning struck the transformer and immediately took the power supply to this place. "Oh my God!" I yelled after seeing that."Don't worry, the generators will be on until the power comes back," he said. "But have you seen that? I have never seen anything like this before," "Really?" he asked in surprise. "Yes, my parents were quite protective of me. They never allowed me to cross the boundaries of our pack. Even if it's raining or a blizzard, I used to watch it from my room," I answered."That's so unusual," Marcus said "I found that's unus
Marcus went to the refugee camp, the boys and their parents were staying there for the past three months. "Have you guys howled and sent a signal? They could have heard that?" Mark questioned them and Marcus saw the mother crying, her true love. He felt bad for her. "I will go into the woods, we were wasting our time. What if they were washed off by the flood," Marcus expressed his concernMark quickly shifted and others accompanied them into the forest. They searched everywhere in that storm, it was quite difficult but Marcus had a determination to find them and finally he heard the small boys's yelling as they were dragged by the flood. It all happened in a matter of seconds.Marcus fell into the water and saved them on time. The storm was at a high peak as they returned to the pack house. The power went off and Marcus asked them to turn on the generators. "We need to save power," Theodore said, mind linking with him. Marcus agreed and walked on the stairs feeling tired. He ha
Chloe's POVThe next day I woke up as soon as I realize Marcus wasn't there by my side. I pulled back the hair that fell on my face and my back hurts so much.I leaned back on the bed frame and looked at the window. Only one of the curtains is pulled aside, from there I could see the rain still pouring and it's grey outside. I don't know why, but I kind of like this weather. I could hear the footsteps, and cutlery sounds outside and I breathed in relief that Marcus was here. His presence changed my mood instantly, and he gives me strength.If he wasn't there yesterday, I would never have had the courage to wake up today. Yesterday I saw how much he cares for me even though we know each other for a very short time. Other than my parents and Lily, no one cared for me like that. Understanding my wishes and assuring that he would help me is a big thing for me, he went further and took care of me last night. I didn't feel lonely at all. He's different and that makes me want to lose my guar
Chloe's POVDays passed one and the other. It's been a few weeks since that incident. Everything is coming back to normal, I accompany Marcus everywhere he goes, he taught me how to fight and he took me to show the entire pack. We went to places I have never been before and I have to say, this place is so beautiful. The woods behind this place are dense and Marcus said he spent his time there before she came into his life. Being with him is such a surreal experience. Meanwhile, we also had a lot of intimate moments, and yesterday I suffered a heat after I stopped him while he undressed me. It's embarrassing Marcus helped me to come back to normal and assured me that he wouldn't put me in that position again. We were keeping our distance.I felt guilty that I am such a useless mate, I give him nothing yet he gives me everything I ask for. When I shift, Jina promises that she won't go behind my back and mate with him and the Alpha keeps up his word. Only when we were humans we were lo
Marcus's POV. I watched Chloe playing with Lucian's son Jordan. Even though I was standing upstairs and she was far away from me, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She's so adorable when she smiles from her heart. She's beautiful inside and out, and I am getting amazed by her every day. My eyes traveled from her beautiful eyes to her neck, breasts, arms, her stomach, and her legs. She's tempting me in every way possible. Damn her laugh makes me want to kiss her, why is she so irresistible? I thought helplessly. 'No, I shouldn't look at her like this, I am acting like a pervert, this isn't appropriate,' I said to myself. I have never admired anyone like this, she's such a remarkable woman. God! please help me end this agony, I screamed mentally. I want to express my feelings openly to her and I don't know how. I fear all the good name I earned from her would be destroyed if I give in to my temptation. Day after day, my desire to mate with her is growing uncontrollably. Why is t
Chloe's POVWe were called to the hall when the time has arrived. The evening is cool, breezy and I could hear the cicadus in the distance. The full moon is glowing brightly in the dark sky and I realized the moon goddess is blessing their union. I wanted to shift but I don't want to rip off this dress. We went to the entrance where Henry and Lucian are waiting for us. They complimented Lily and me, we politely thanked them. Henry asked Lily if she's nervous, she replied with a nod. He passed a small candy to me and Lily. She doesn't want to take it but I unwrapped the cover and put inside my mouth. Surprising it's calming. We were going to walk a long aile filled with numerous wolves of the pack. The minister for the wedding is an elder member of the pack, who a close friend to Marcus's grand father. I heard even the has grown wider after Marcus become the Alpha, he provided an helping hand to several wolves who are affeced by the war and other things. People have high respect on
Marcus's POV After the wedding bash and sending the newlyweds to their home, Chloe and I walked to our home at midnight. The silent hallway is dark and Chloe is holding my hand. We didn't talk, I just listened to her study heartbeat. Today, I let her know how much I like her and got to know how much she likes me. This is one of the happiest days of my life. But still, I ruined it somehow by showing how scared I am about marriage. I know this could have upset Chloe even though she didn't show it on her face. When Lily revealed to Mark that she's pregnant, I can't help but reconsider my decision about marriage after seeing Mark's happiness. Yet I am still hesitant to change my decision on that. I have heard Lucian always talking about his son, he enjoys being a father but I don't know whether I am capable of that. I thought I am not capable of having a family on my own. This was all before I saw Chloe, now I want that happiness too. I want to take our relationship to a next level ye
"Do you believe her?" Theodore asks Marcus. "Yes, I do," "How?" Theodore frowns and sat down on the couch. "You haven't seen a witch's power. I have seen it a lot of times. That's the reason I have invited you to my aunt's place but you never came with me and never witnessed what true magic is," Marcus said and sat next to him. Theodore nodded, "Then Chloe must be safe," he said. "Yes, that's what I think. I would have sensed if something has happened to her but till now, I don't feel anything bad. I just miss her tremendously," Marcus answered. "That's a relief," Theodore said. "I never thought Viktor would be so helpful to us," Theodore commented."Yes, he always waited for a perfect chance to avenge us but this is surprising to me. It must be because of Reva. She has changed him completely," "But I feel like there's something off about that girl," Theodore said. "Maybe, but she's my only hope to save Chloe," Marcus said, "I want Chloe to be strong in this situation," M
Chloe decided to meet up with Reva that evening, they both were getting ready in their respective homes. Chloe dressed in a pair of black jeans and a blue shirt. While Reva wears a grey dress and a trench coat over her. Folding his hands across his chest, Viktor watches her getting ready with a smile on his face. She occasionally glances at him through the mirror but she knew he's looking at her. It made her cheeks blush. "You look excited?" He asks. She nods."Have a look good time," Viktor said. "What about you?" She gestures."I will be there but I won't disturb you," he said. She nods with a smile and puts her long hair in a bun. She's so happy that Viktor is doing this for her. Marcus is his enemy but for her, Viktor has left his ego to give that letter to him. Reva doesn't know what to say, day after day, he's getting her trust and she makes her heart race in excitement. The feelings she had for him before she saw him with Sharon has been knocking on her heart's entrance.
Chloe and Clarissa got Marcus’s permission to go to the shrine in the mountains. Marcus got quite hesitant to send them alone so he asked Henry to accompany them. He’s more than happy to get out of the pack house after a boring day, studying for his exams. Seeing him, Chloe also wanted to learn something, but she doesn’t have a specific field she’s interested.Marcus send her off standing before the pack house, she waved at it and said, “Now he will know how I feel while he leaves me alone,”Clarissa smiled.“What about Lucian, is he always busy like him?” Chloe asked.“Not really, but he goes away for long hours and I miss him so much at that time,” Clarissa said.“We are just going a mile away from your heroes, don’t worry, ladies,” Henry said.“Just a mile?” Chloe asks.“Yes, we know a short cut and we can reach there quicker,” Clarissa.“So we don’t have to shift?” Chloe asks.“No, it’s just a short distance. If we chat like this and walk we don’t feel bored at all,” Clarissa said

Chloe's POVI woke up hearing the sound of chirping birds. I had a very good sleep, not only yesterday but even since I came here. It's a surprise for me that this new environment didn't affect me one bit. I walked to the window where the small bird is drinking the water I kept yesterday. I noticed that every day it comes here at this time as this is the only tall place in this entire surroundings. It has green and blue features, and in the morning light it looked splendid. When I about to reach, it ran away. I smiled seeing how free and happy with his life. I don't know when I am going to live that way. With that thought I came out of my room, hoping to find Marcus asleep but asusual he left early. I asked him where he would go and he answered that his turn to guard the border in the morning till noon. Then mark or Theodore would take up his place. After coming here, he would have lunch with me, go to the refugee camp and help his pack members in the construction of new houses for
Marcus has arranged a meeting with his pack members to discuss his plan to leave this place for a while. He said this to them, many disagreed but Marcus explained his situation. They wanted to go with him and help him but that seem an extreme decision, considering the weather in the north and other things for survival. They might lose the war and die too. Marcus said this and all asked how he was going to get his mate and that too traveling all alone. “I have a way, my aunt is going to help me along with Viktor’s mate,” he said. Everyone got surprised by the mention of Viktor. "You all heard me right. Viktor's mate is a friend to Chloe and she's a powerful witch. She's going to help me eliminate Daven," Marcus said. "You trust her? Viktor is close with Daven," one of the elders asks. "I have talked to him about this and he said he has ended the trade with Daven long back. I don't think, he would go behind my back,” Marcus explained. “And I trust Viktor's mate, she's inter

Chloe's POVHe's my mate but I couldn't feel happy about that; I am afraid in fact. In these nineteen years of my existence, I have seen many terrible things I shouldn't have seen. My parents were killed in front of my eyes, what could be more terrible than that. The rogues left us with no supplies and people killed each other for a piece of bread. Girls of my age sold their innocence to survive. Protecting myself and surviving that worst time was quite a hard thing for me and just now I returned to a normal world where people around me were happy. I am not looking for my mate; I don’t want to be near this charming man. It doesn’t feel right to me at all. I know I have been battling alone with my survivor’s guilt which I hadn’t told Lily. I don’t think this guilt would fade away easily as it seems. Lily is different, she’s a cheerful person and always looks forward to the next step in her life but I am not like her. My entire world was my father and mother; after their deaths, eve
