Marcus’s POV Today after the training Chloe went to her place, she just observed the drill and I didn’t allow Karen to enter the Arena when she shamelessly came today. I didn’t get a chance to talk to Chloe as I had some other important work after the training, so I went there with Mark and other senior pack members. But as far as I noticed her today, Chloe is so silent, she smiles a little and she always looks occupied with her thoughts. I can't help but wonder what's going on in her mind. It's so hard for me to forget her thoughts for a moment and concentrate on other things. Even today, I can't stop looking at her, my eyes kept drawn to the place where she was sitting. After turning me crazy like this, she's so busy in her sorrows. Her past is too much to carry around, and after hearing her story, I wanted to kill those atrocious rogues who are responsible for her sadness. I don't know what she was like before all of this, they have destroyed that innocent side of her, and
Chloe's POVI asked him to come inside because of Jina's constant yelling. I don't want to upset her and besides, I am so touched by his care. I walked in making sure that the house is perfect. I always have a habit of keeping my surroundings clean so I happily allowed him in. He looked around the empty house and sat on the dining chair. Since we came here just a month ago, there's no furniture here except the ones they gave to them."Do you want coffee or tea?" I ask. "No, just water is enough," he said. I went to the fridge and I could feel his gaze on me. I grabbed a sweater to cover up my bare arms and went to the dining table. After gulping the water, he looked at me. "You still haven't agreed to stay at the packhouse," he asks. "I am grateful to you and I am glad to stay beside my friend," I say. "Good, I will prepare a nice room at my place," "Your place?""Yes,""Am I not going to stay alone?""No, why do you want to stay alone when I have such a big house," he asked
Chloe's POV I have never been to this pack house before, I just watched it from afar for all these days. It is so huge compared to what I have imagined. While we walked inside, there were a lot of curious gazes followed me and Lily. I felt awkward but Lily had a pleasant smile while looking at everyone. Marcus is leading our way, I looked at his broad shoulders, and I wondered what must be his age. I don't know anything about him, and I am getting compellingly curious as I pass each moment with him. To me, he seemed such a perfect Alpha. At such a young age -that's how he looks, he has become an Alpha and everyone here respects him. It's not simple at all, especially from where I come from. There the elders always have the high power, all the Alphas I have seen were old and sometimes thoughtless but Marcus is so different and inspiring. When we came to Mark's dorm, Lily went there. Mark has been busy so he couldn't come there to get her. "I made sure the territory is safe, our t
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
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
"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

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.

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
