CHLOE."When did you learn how to code like that?" James's deep husky boomed, catching me off guard and I almost laughed out loud at his question as he walked up the staircase still carrying me in his arms like a damsel in distress. I smirked mischievously, "Been doing it since I was a kid until I became a master at it," I said, playing with my fingers. He darted at me for a brief moment and then continued ascending the staircase with a leopard's grace, “I see. Anyway, thanks for handling the cyber threat. I was at Lucy's funeral and I had turned off my mindlink and cell not to be disturbed.”My heart sank remembering Lucy's untimely death. I felt like it was my fault she wasn't with us right now. "Not to worry, I took care of it," I sighed softly feeling a heartache brewing within me… A few minutes later, we reached our bedroom then James gently placed me on our bed before he removed his black jacket and sat next to me with slumped shoulders. I knew something serious was up.“How
CHLOE.All Eli saw was red and she wanted to rip Britney apart limb from limb. With a slight leap, I lunged at her aiming for her neck as she stood frozen, her eyes widening from shock and her heart was racing erratically. Scared now? Good. My wolf preyed on fear…I was ready to sink my canine teeth in her neck and rip her throat out when a figure stood in front of me in a flash and I sank my teeth into his neck instead. From the tingles and sparks, I knew it was James but he didn’t struggle. Instead he ran his hands behind Eli’s ears and she purred. “It’s okay, I’m here now..” he said soothingly. “Give back Chloe control, we are in public,” he whispered and she immediately obliged. I shifted back but my canines were still embedded in his neck, I retracted them and unconsciously licked the wound.. Fuck, this was the second mark I had given James.I’ll be damned. He quickly took off his checked shirt and wrapped it around me but I suddenly had a dizzy spell, the after effects of
JAMES.It had been 7 hours since Chloe lost consciousness and she was yet to wake up. My wolf and I have been on edge since then. Venting my anger out on anyone I laid my eyes on. I was angry at myself for not stopping the fight before it escalated. It was my fault as Alpha I didn't stop them in time… To be honest, I didn't know why Britney and Chloe didn't get along.Having pack members fight with my Luna I was yet to introduce to them would cause a rebellion. I would have challengers wanting to compete for the Alpha position. Not that I would lose, but it could dismantle the pack. A pack that was not united was bound to fall apart and now that the rogue king had his eyes set on us, unity was the most important thing that needed to prevail.I wondered where it all went wrong for Britney. She used to be a sweet innocent lady. Despite being a rescue from one of the packs I had concurred, she always had a smile on her face as she helped around the pack. My heart ached as long lost
CHLOE.I woke up feeling exhausted, my body aching all over, and my mind disoriented.‘Eli, what happened?’ I reached out to her immediately, as she was the last thing I remembered before blacking out.‘Finally, how could you sleep for so long, I got bored over here,' she complained and I smiled, at least she was still here with her sense of humor. ‘And where would I go when you and I are stuck with each other?’ She countered and I chuckled. Where are we anyway?Taking a glimpse of my surroundings, I realized I was in a hospital room with a strange woman dressed in all black stood by the door rigid and uptight like a GI Joe.I knitted my brows, wondering who she was.If am at the hospital, why isn't James by my side instead?I groaned and stirred, alerting her that I was awake, “Where’s Alpha James?” I asked, panic beginning to rise in my chest seeing that he wasn't the one waiting on me.The GI Joe look alike hastily looked at me with concern etched on her serious face and quickly w
JAMES.‘Why are you such an ass when it comes to our mate's wellbeing?’ My wolf protested as I walked away from Chloe in the bedroom.I sighed softly and closed my eyes for a moment as I calmed my raging nerves from my encounter with Chloe, ‘What do you mean?’ I asked, feigning innocence.‘Well, for starters, you could have just told Chloe the truth and spared us all this bullshit,’ he countered, his frustration evident.My stomach knotted violently. I was already having a horrible evening due the the turn of events in my meeting earlier with the elders... Now my wolf wanted to make it unbearable...I exhaled sharply, ‘Well, if you so care to know. it's because Chloe will live in fear like before she had her wolf,’ I sighed heavily as I avoided the glances of the servants who went about their duties.My wolf scoffed, 'You are such a dick!' His whining intensified, reminiscent of the old days, and it began to give me a headache.I hastily made my way to my office and sank into my office
CHLOE.I watched in confusion as James lost consciousness due to the hard punch I had landed on his face during our first training session in the ballroom. I scoffed and rolled my eyes as I wasn't going to fall for his facade.“James, your joke isn't funny, wake up we continue with the training,” I said, massaging my hand which knocked him out.There was no response from him. He just lay on the floor as if he had fallen into a slumber.I frowned, taking a step closer to his body to examine him. Maybe I had truly killed him. The thought immediately caused a cold shiver to ran down my spine. I hated James for how he treated me yesterday but I didn't want to be a widow at a young age.“James, get up, we continue with the training. I don't have all morning to play your games,” I said, peeking at him with a raised eyebrow on the floor. He didn't respond but his breathing was stable.I frowned...What's wrong with him?Confused, I tried to wake him up by shaking him a bit with my leg because
CHLOE.A week had passed by since my free cooking lessons from James and the awkward intrusion from William. I had learned that Britney was banished from the pack for picking a fight with me... I was happy, that I even forgot about James hiding things from me.It was good riddance to Britney's obsession for my man…Things with James were perfect. We would have our usual cute banter here and there. But I loved how he always tried to compromise knowing how headstrong I could be. I knew it wasn’t fair for only him to adjust so I decided to meet halfway. We embraced each other without trying to change the other. Fast forward to the present moment, it was now time for my Luna introductory ceremony. I got ready in one of the ballroom’s dressing rooms . A skilled makeup artist meticulously crafted a stunning nude look, enhancing my natural beauty for the occasion ahead.“All done Luna,” Lillian, the makeup artist said and I looked in the hand mirror loving the way the winged eyeliner made
JAMES.“Chloe ,” I said with a trembling voice while holding her shaking body in my arms. She suddenly had a panic attack after looking at something on her phone. It had been 5 minutes and she’s still shaking. Each jerk of her body sending pangs to my chest.Why was she like this? I laid her on the bed and hugged her tightly, trailing soft kisses on her body and whispering sweet nothings into her ear to calm her down. It seemed to work as she had finally stopped shaking but was still unconscious with beads of sweat on her forehead. I covered her up with a duvet and picked up the phone she had dropped on the rug. She had showed me the pattern to unlock her phone with so I drew the pattern, unlocking it and immediately saw red when I read the message she had received. Rage and anger flashed through me and I clenched my fists tightly, drawing blood as my elongated nails dug into my skin. Who the hell is J and why would he threaten Chloe like this? Somehow, I thought of something bu
JAMES.[Two years and ten months later]Bang! Bang! Bang! The familiar banging of my office door made me groan tiredly knowing exactly who it was. Bang! Bang! Bang!“Hey my cuties, let’s go downstairs, your father is working, don't disturb him,” Lisa’s voice echoed from the hallway.“No!! We want daddy!!” My 2 year old son Asher’s voice boomed and I could imagine him stomping his feet with a pout on his mouth. “Yes, we want daddy!!” Two other childish voices screamed in unison. Bang! Bang! Bang!“Daddy…” Asher’s voice cracked and I knew he was about to cry. I put down what I was doing and sighed softly.‘Let them in,' I mind-linked Lisa to let them in.The door creaked open on its hinges and three little munchkins with a face that looked like mine ran into the office with their short tiny legs. They had worn cute adorable teletubbie’s onesies.Chloe had surprisingly given birth to two girls and one boy when we were only expecting one pup... We named the girls Carinna and Sabrina wh
CHLOE.[Minutes prior to the victory]I was terrified and very sure that this was it. That the rogue king had succeeded despite people saying the good guys always win. But why did rogue king win? Why? All he did is harm people for the blue lily and covet things that didn’t belong to him. Why did things go his way?I took a deep breath and closed my eyes in resignation as I tilted my head to the side, exposing my neck. The rogue king buried his head in the crook of my neck, inhaling lecherously and I almost gagged. His hot breath fanned my neck but all I felt was terror and repulsion. The moment his teeth grazed my neck and he was about to mark me, I felt the heaviness on the chains that bound me become lighter and I immediately broke out of them. The rogue king was too busy basking in my scent that he didn’t realize I had broken free and I wasn’t going to give him a chance to do so. Elongating my claws, I swiftly cut through his neck and his head was ripped off before he could e
JAMES.The moment I received the rogue king’s message, I started off after informing everyone about our plan. I would head to the location, which is a forest next to the dark forest that Chloe was taken to the last time she was kidnapped, then the warriors would follow and scour the woods. If the rogue king was smart, he wouldn’t place all the hostages in one place. So my father, Lisa and some warriors would search the forest whilst I go to meet the rogue king. Lisa wasn’t a warrior but her mate was captured so naturally, she couldn’t stay back home and worry all day.It was 7:15 PM when I reached the forest. Zeke was very agitated, it seemed like the moon was calling out to him.He kept growling and clawing in my mind, fighting for control. But I wasn’t going to let an edgy beast out at this critical moment when our pregnant mate needed us. I ran through the forest pack and felt some burning sensations on my skin. It wasn’t my pain but Chloe’s which meant I was close if I could f
CHLOE.I scoffed, “Has anyone of your blind followers told you that you are delusional? Fuck you.” I hissed and spat on his face. The rogue king was momentarily stunned as he probably did not anticipate my reaction.Did he think I was still the wolfless girl who cowered in fear at the sight of him like last time I was taken?“I wasn’t in a rush to do it but since you’ve suggested it yourself, I can’t say no, can I?” He said and stood up, lifting his hand towards his face as he wiped my spit with his finger and put it in his mouth. The woman holding him up sneered with a scowl but didn't say anything.Closing his eyes, he groaned as he licked my saliva off his finger. “Fuck! Your powers are amazing than I thought. I can’t wait to taste you.. the whole lot of you to see what it will do to my body,” he whispered and when he opened his eyes, they had darkened with a lecherous gaze as his frail body began to build out right in front of my face. I couldn't believe my saliva did that thim
JAMES.Months had gone by since Chloe had broken the good news about our family growing. I could say that life was great.The rogue king hadn't attacked my pack in months, peace and tranquility rained over my packmates and I.I couldn't ask for a better life than this until the day Chloe asked me to leave the pack for some baby shopping.I had been feeling edgy and extremely irritated since I woke up today. Although I had mixed feelings about letting Chloe leave the pack territory, I had to let her go after she suggested being discreet. I did not want to restrict her movements in the name of protecting her to the point of suffocation. And since no one saw her going out, I figured there would be no problem.I instructed the IT guys to keep a strict eye on the rogue king's movements so that Beta Thomas can avoid him at any cost. ‘Alpha, we found something,' one of the IT guys said through the mind-link and I immediately became alert. ‘Go on,' I said. ‘I found out something about the
CHLOE.The next morning after I tried to poison my family with my horrible food, I was more certain that my James wasn't cheating on me with that bimbo, Cindy as I thought.... Maybe, I might have overreacted just a tad bit to much…. Let's just blame it on the pregnancy hormones.“See you later babe,” I sighed softly while waving at James goodbye as he his car drove off for work the next day.Today was a brand new day and I was going to reveal my big surprise to James when he got back home.Walking back into the mansion, I couldn't stop smiling with myself at the wonderful night of passion I shared with James as he kept proving to me that he loved only me and no other she-wolf. I couldn't wait to surprise him with the good news when he got back home from work today....“Good morning Luna,” Bridget greeted me with a smile as the kitchen air filled with the sweet aroma of vanilla and cinnamon enveloped me. “Good morning Bridget,” I stood at the doorway, my heart racing with a secret th
JAMES.Women and their jealousy! I scoffed, while watching Chloe walk out of my office because she found me with a good friend of mine, Gamma Cindy Peterson who owned multiple well-known jewellery shops around my alliance packs.Cindy and I were just talking about her designing a one of a kind ring I would gift Chloe to replace the boring ring my father picked out for her I gave her during our wedding, but my beautiful mate took it the wrong way and got upset over nothing.I guessed jealousy got the best of her and now I had to make peace with her before things escalated out of proportion.Running after Chloe to calm her and explain why Cindy visited my office... Sort of. I found Chloe almost getting into her car, fuming with a red face.“Cupcake, wait up,” I grabbed her hands and she turned her head, whipping her blonde hair in my face and glared at me.“Wait for what, James?” She hissed, catching me off guard. I began to doubt if it was only jealousy she was feeling to act up like
CHLOE.A full month after Lewis's funeral had passed, James and I were busy training as usual in secret in the ballroom, but my body was failing me and James wasn't happy about it….“Come on cupcake, why are you slacking today? Don't hold back, fight me like you always do,” James encouraged me to train my best like I did but my body wasn't just cooperative.It's like I wasn't in the mood to do any physical activity…. My body just felt tired and heavy even after 9 hours of undisturbed sleep. I felt like someone had possessed me and taken me on an unknown marathon which left me sore and tired all over… I huffed breathlessly and sighed heavily as sweat profusely ran down my face, “Babe, I'm done for the day. I can't work out anymore…. I'm going to take a shower and rest for a bit,” I said sweetly, grabbing my towel from the floor and wiping off some sweat off my face.James huffed with flared nostrils, “But we just started?” He countered with a slight frown and I groaned inwardly as I w
JAMES.[Two hours later]Lewis had only his mother and sister as family, hence a good number of packmates attended his funeral. We all surrounded his grave in black outfits as some warriors buried him six feet underground.This wasn’t supposed to happen…at this rate many of my loved ones would be at risk of being killed. Perhaps I should hand myself over to the disgusting rogue king and have a final show down with him and fight man to man. Anger flared up inside me as I thought of dismembering the rogue king. The first thing I would do is gouge his eyes out so that they wouldn’t set their sight on any one ever again. A small warm hand enveloped mine giving it a gentle squeeze. ‘We’ll find him my love…. Together,' Chloe said through the mind-link. I led Chloe towards Lewis’s grave and got a wreath from an omega who was distributing flowers. We knelt down next to the grave and placed the wreath on the center. Staring at the picture on the tombstone. My heart squeezed painfully whe
