Just after Marcus and Chloe come to the pack house, Chloe starts to feel very sick. They thought it’s just a normal fever and needed a day's rest to recover but she isn’t getting any better. Chloe throwed up the breakfast she ate and Marcus got worried to see that. He helped her to get cleaned and stayed by her side.“I will ask Clarissa to come here,” he said. There’s no other healer in his pack and he doesn’t want to let anyone who he doesn’t trust near her Chloe nodded, she’s terrified of this whole thing, she got weak all of a sudden, her vision is blurry, her legs were shivering and this isn’t like she’s going through heat or fever. Chloe laid on the bed and Marcus sat beside her.“What happened to you?” he asked, caressing her hair and held her wrist.“You’re not pregnant to feel weak,” ”I know,” Chloe answered. “Then what’s happening?” Marcus asks but she doesn’t know what to answer. Compared to her, her wolf gotten so weak. This has never happened before; she nor her wolf
Chloe is stuck in the bright darkness; she couldn’t connect to Jian. If she faces a danger now, she can’t able to shift and fight. She wants to know if her wolf is still alive, that’s the only thought scaring her. However, she has a hope that her wolf must be still alive because she’s alive here. Am I? she questions utterly confused of her situation.“How could have this happened?” Lily asks. “I don’t know. She was alright but then from morning she starts to feel so sick,” Marcus answered. “I don’t know how he’d done this,”He got frustrated and waited impatiently for his aunt.Chloe could hear their muffled conversation, this indicated that she’s still alive but she’s parting ways with her reality. She walked a distance following Marcus’s voice but all she could see is one-dimensional darkness. It’s endless and there’s no way out. She cried and screamed at the top of her lungs so that they could hear her and she soon realized its all waste. In this darkness, she doesn’t feel tired
Chloe has been waiting until Marcus falls asleep and he’s awake to guard her. The night is eerily silent. Zen and Theodore were here all this time, they left when Marcus reminded them that’s midnight. Chloe felt guilty that she had made them all tired of worries. Especially Marcus is completely worn-out because of this problem. He’s unhappy that he’s useless and let Chloe to suffer alone. His wolf is deeply in regrets of its actions. When he’s silently sitting on the bed, Chloe held his hand. “Why are you sad?” she asks. “I have made a mistake, Chloe,” Marcus said. “What?” Chloe looked him. “I lied to you about Daven. I haven’t warned you properly. To make you comfortable here, I just concealed the problems around us. I gaslighted you somehow. I feel ashamed of myself,” Marcus apologized and Chloe doesn’t know what to say. Even if he has warned about Daven, no one could have changed this moment. If this is what meant to happen, who they are to control all this? “You didn’t do an
Unaware what’s happening in the Dark Woods pack, Viktor is living the best time of his life. He’s in love for the first time. He never thought loving someone would be so beautiful. That magic has happened for the first time in her life. Everything around him turned so beautiful. This old packhouse looks vibrant, his rustic factory looks antique and he doesn’t get angry at anyone in a while which is surprising to himself. Nothing seems boring in his life as long as Reva is near him. She has changed his perspective about his life.Carrying the breakfast in the tray, he’s walking to his room. His face is plastered in a big smile. He entered the room and Reva is waiting for him.“I am so hungry,” she said and got excited by the smell of food.He placed the tray before her. Reva noticed that he’s going to eat with her. The small things he does for her makes her feel special and happy.She’s tired and woke up late today. Understanding her health, Viktor doesn’t disturb her while she’s asle
“You broke the promise you made to me. You helped that bastard,” Marcus yelled and Theodore followed in panic.Viktor cluelessly approached him and he was shocked when Viktor came to throw his fist at him but thankfully, Theodore stopped at the right moment.“What are you talking about?” Viktor asks. He’s calm even after hearing that yell. Reva stood by his side, and got scared seeing Marcus’s anger. She decided to protect Viktor if Marcus fights him.“It’s Daven. You helped him, right?”“Helped him with what?” Viktor frowns. “Don’t act like you didn’t know anything. I am a fool to trust you,” Marcus kept giving him this indirect remark to know his reaction, that way, Marcus can find his credibility and it looks like Viktor is actually oblivious about everything. His expressions weren’t dramatic and he’s calm which is what makes Marcus suspicious but when he glanced at Reva, he thought maybe she could have changed him. He knew what love could do to a person.“Just calm down and tell
The revelation kind of broke his confidence with Reva. As they were back in their room, Reva realized her mistake and spoke first.“I am sorry,”He cut her off abruptly, “Why is it so hard for you to trust me?” he asks.“I trust you,” she said.“Then why you didn’t say anything?” he asks. From the tone of his voice, she can understand that he’s not in the mindset to listen to her and he’d lost his patience.“What do you think of me? Even after I promised that I’ll be loyal to you, you never uttered a single word about your past or about yourself. He’s a stranger but he knows you better than me. You don’t know how that feels,” he says and sat down on the bed.“I am sorry. I wanted to tell…”He cut her off again. “You don’t have to tell anything. I understand that you don’t like me,” he said. “No,” she said. “Yes,” he retorts. “Listen to me, please,”“No, not now,” saying that he walked to the door. He’s completely upset and also understood that his mate is more powerful than him. A
The portal spit them out in the coldest part of the world, the frigid wind made Chloe shiver in panic. She looked around; in the hailstorm, she could see nothing but the bright white snow which she’d missed somewhere in the deepest part of her heart. Her face become poignant as she looked at the mountains surrounding her. She's here, so far away from Marcus and she can't imagine what he must be feeling right now.He would be definitely upset by what she has done but it’s not time for her to grieve."Where are we?" she yells."Just near my pack house. I am sorry that we have landed here," he apologized."You and your stupid magic," she frowned and started shivering. If she stays in this cold a bit longer, she would die of hypothermia. Since her wolf isn't with her, she's weak and her natural heat doesn't work in her. Daven puts his coat around her and she grimaced. Thankfully her slippers would help would prevent her from getting frost bites until they reach the shelter."I don't need
After Daven asked her to leave his chamber, Selena gathered her stuff in a small suitcase. She was then escorted to the maid's chamber as she has no place in the pack house to dwell and she doesn't want to continue living there as his mistress so the only choice she has now is to live in this tiny room and work endlessly until she finally gets her freedom one day. No one here gives her any special treatment just because she lived with Daven for all these days. The head maid treats her just like the others and she does everything she asks her to do. After coming here, Selena came out of the trance in which she considered that she will be happy one day. Her reality is far different. Because of the hailstorm, everyone stayed in their respective bunkers and Selena could hear what the other maids were talking in the neighboring bunkers. It’s so hard to fall asleep in here, the walls were too thin and often the maids’ lovers come here to sleep with them. In this past one week, whenever she
"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

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.

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
