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
Catherine came there with her husband. He looked much better to Marcus’s relief. He welcomed them with a tint of sadness in his face. Since they were not going to stay here for long, they didn’t bring anything other than a small bag. Just a day or two until Marcus finds a way to save Chloe.“Come here,” Catherine reached out her hand and hugged his nephew. “Don’t worry, we are going to find her,” she said. Marcus nodded and then hugged him uncle. “Good to see you, son,” he said.Marcus smiled and guided them to the guest house. His aunt looked at the eyes of the people, who’s none other than Theodore, Mark, Zan and Clarissa.“Looks like some doesn’t like my presence,” she muttered.“That’s not true, they are glad that you’re going to help me,” Marcus said.They all came inside the guest room and Marcus closed the door behind. “What really happened?” Marcus explained everything without missing a single detail. “I see, he must have taken her through the portal?” “Portal?” Marcus
Reva watched Viktor as he's getting ready for the day. He puts on his shirt and sweater before heading to the mirror.If he wasn't angry at Reva, he would keep looking at her and she would be the one avoiding him but now he didn't even bat an eye at her. His expression is cold and he distanced himself from her which made her gloomy and her eyes teary.For a whole day, they haven't spoken to each other and she feels utterly terrible of this situation. She doesn’t want this; she hates this with all her heart. Letting go of her fears and gathering her courage, Reva walked close to him. Viktor noticed her in the mirror while he’s combing his hair. She locked hesitant and guilty as she stood behind him. "Are you not going to talk to me?" she asks that in the sweetest way possible. His face hardens and he glares at her for a moment before continuing with his hair without answering her.She waited until he finishes. She now understands that if he gets upset, he turns awfully stubborn. This
