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
Viktor saw Reva standing at the entrance. Just by seeing her eyes, he has come to his senses to end this separation. It’s so agonizing that they had a moment where his anger surpassed his love. He wanted to love her earnestly and he doesn’t want any other emotion to alter that.He can't see her sad and he's now ready to hear the rest of her secrets. He exhaled in relief when he saw her smile. She's happy to see him."Look at her, she's so adorable, isn’t she?” his wolf asks. “Yes,” Viktor can’t agree more.“She’s equally powerful to me but she doesn’t show it. I love that. And she’s forgiving and cares a lot about you. You're so lucky, Viktor," his wolf said.Viktor smiled to hear that. His wolf never appreciates anyone but it acts different in case of Reva.All this time, he was sitting near the creek that’s running a mile away from their packhouse and thought about all the things that Reva said to him. At the start, even though she acted courageous, she was scared of everyone here.
Reva waited for Viktor before their home, the people who crossed whispered about her and the rumors surrounding her. She felt uncomfortable but she knows she deserves this. She's standing in the determination because of Viktor. Even if he gets angry, he will understand her eventually and that's enough for Reva.The sun is about to set and she has been standing there for hours. Her feet are hurting but she doesn't mind it. Until she clears all the misunderstandings with Viktor, she can’t able to feel peaceful.She realizes how much Viktor means to her, and being away from him is so unbearable to handle.Is this love? yes, it could be, she realized that and had a smile on her face.In the distance, she heard his footsteps and she got excited from head to toe. Her heart raced when the chill wind-blown against her face. She looked at the path and Viktor walked toward her with a calm expression on his face.At last, he smiled at her heaving a sigh.“I am sorry, I came late," he apologized.
"I don't know my father and how my mother conceived me. She never talked about that and when I asked her one time, she harshly yelled at me for being curious and I never asked about it again,” “I grew up in the woods, the cabin was my home and my mother is the only person I talked to. She taught me everything, I am a quick learner so she doesn’t find it hard to raise me,” Reva said. “I just address her as my mother but she never acted as one. She was abusive and abandoned me most of the time. I hated what she had done in the name of magic and often make me do things I hate," she said. “What she asked you to do?” he asks when she senses she’s hiding something. She looked at him for a moment, before answering, "Hurting people, wolves, vampires, summoning demons and using them to bring chaos,” “She taught you all that?” he asks in surprise and realizes that she’s quite dangerous. “Yes, Since I am true blood, my magic works tenfold more powerful than hers. I am quite strong than h
Chloe’s sleep got disturbed when she heard Marcus's voice against her ears. She opened her eyes to see that she's still in Daven's place and Marcus isn't beside her. "It's just all a dream," she muttered. That realization hit her hard and she laid facing the ceiling. It was a beautiful dream, where Marcus came here, killed Daven, he saved her and they got together. She was so happy to see Marcus in the dream. She misses him so much and now she hates to face each following moment. It's so infuriating, her limbs have turned weak, and her heart is constantly racing, telling her how anxious she is. Chloe has done a big mistake, a stupidest choice she ever made in her life. After coming here, she comes to know that it’s not easy to kill Daven and she doesn't know when will Marcus come here. Even if he comes, will he manage to save her before Daven sacrifice her. She utterly hated that she got trapped like this and Marcus have to face all these troubles because of her. She hates hersel
"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 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.

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
