"Blaze, where have you been again? Why do you always have to do this? Why do you have the habit of leaving me? I've been around looking for you everywhere, but I can't find you, and nobody knows where you are." Cleo instinctively enveloped Blaze in her arms as soon as he walked into the room, and he was making an earnest attempt to keep from his rash actions and not lose his composure about the woman in front of her.
He disentangles himself from Cleo's embrace and heads straight in the direction of the couch, ready to do what he had planned to do. He doesn't want to drag this on longer than necessary. He made a mistake when he asked her to come, so he needed to correct that and let her leave.
"We need to talk."
Cleo is starting to have doubts about Blaze's intention for this sudden talk based on the tone of his v
"So, like, what's going on with us now? And I am specifically referring to what you and Blaze are right now. Aside from the fact that I am considering you to be clandestine make-out buddies, what else is there between you two in the real world? Is it some kind of relationship between you two now? Does this mean that you are not just believing in me but also accepting the fact that he is our mate?" I made the choice to go for an early morning stroll because all I wanted to do was get away from thinking about exactly the things that Eris is asking me now. However, as always, my wolf had other ideas, because she started to question me as soon as I was enjoying myself in tranquility. Once more, she grumbled into my thoughts, "Don't pretend to be deaf, Snow; I know you heard me. But to be honest, though, I know you are confused about this, and I am also as baffled
After having been able to pacify the two ladies that were engaged in an argument that turned physical, and after Blaze confronted Snow, the two of them quickly headed back to their home office. Once inside, Quen furiously exclaimed, "What the fucking hell was that?" to Blaze. Blaze responded with a flippant tone, "What do you mean, what was that?" making a concerted effort to tune out whatever it was that Quen was trying to say to him. "Why do you seem so surprised with what I did? I merely called out Snow for her behavior; in essence, there really is no issue here. Much like Cleo, she doesn't have the right to behave as though she is the owner of the house when in fact she is only an unwanted guest." "Bullshit!" said Quen, narrowing his eyes at him. "I am baffled by just how awful you are! You really are a piece of crap. Do you have a sudden loss of vision?
Over the last two days, Blaze and I have grown more distant and alienated from each other. He even lacked the nerve to explain and tell me why he did what he did, particularly why he chose to side with Cleo. And that action has truly pained me so much because I thought that I could depend on him. I'm not sure if he is genuinely trying to find a way for me to leave or if he is simply acting like the stupid fool that he is and believing what his girlfriend has said about me instigating things. I don't know what to make of it anymore, and the only thing that occurred to me was to pack up and leave without waiting for the full moon. Eris and I have not been able to find the strength to defend ourselves for the past two days. We gave up and conceded the loss to Cleo, and we are more than willing to walk away from a fight that we are sure we won't be winning. I've
At his warehouse office, Blaze has been consuming copious amounts of booze once more. After that awful day of confrontation he had with Snow in front of Cleo, this has been an ongoing situation for him. He has been staying here ever since, wanting to have the peace that he badly needed at this time. It is to be expected that Snow has been avoiding him in the same manner that he is avoiding her, and his heart is breaking with that reality. How can something so beautiful end so abruptly? Why is it that he has to be stupid to destroy something that gives him peace? He has made an effort to distance himself from Snow ever since he learned that he got Cleo pregnant, and that was the hardest thing that he had to do. But while it may be difficult, he knows that he has to do the right thing. Although it was not in his pl
"Snow, are you completely sure about this?" A nod of her head confirms her answer. "But why? What's the matter?" Needless to say, Blythe was not prepared when she found out that her conversation with Snow would be centered on her friend's impending departure from their home. "I mean, no one is asking you to leave, is it? I mean, forcing you to leave and go home?" A shake of her head answers her friend's next question. "Then why do you have to make this sudden decision? What's really happening? Is it Blaze, or is it Cleo again? Tell me, Snow." She wants to avoid adding to the already complicated situation, and she especially doesn't want Blythe to be caught between her and Blaze or with her and Cleo. Blythe has been nothing but a good friend, almost like a sister to her, and she could never put her in a difficult situation of choosing between her and Blaze whe
"Where the hell do you think you are going, Snow?" Blaze blurted out to me as soon as we went for an evening stroll outdoors to talk about things. Though I had no desire to talk to him in the first place, I can't tell him that directly, not with Blythe witnessing how he barged into our conversation earlier. "Who told you that you could leave?" Though I'm not sure if it is directed at me or someone else entirely, I get the impression that he is making an effort to restrain his anger. But I am not one to stand down from this. I am no longer the weak and fragile woman he thought I was. And for the record, for all that has been happening and all that he has done to me, I am just as furious with him as he is with me. With a stronger voice this time, he demanded an answer again: "Have you suddenly become mute again? Aren't you hearing me? Where the fucking hell are
I've found my mate. My second chance, mate. Once again, out of nowhere, the moon has disregarded my pleas not to show me the truth. Who would have predicted that I would one day have another opportunity to find my mate after having been turned down by the future Alpha of Sky River pack? I am a rejected she-wolf. I am a rejected warrior, but right now the tables have turned and I have another mate. I feel like the Moon Goddess is playing tricks on me; therefore, I don't even want to think of myself as fortunate. How can I feel lucky when I have this overwhelming confusion in my head? Is it a natural and moral thing for me to be in the arms of yet another man when I know deep down that I am still tied to Phoenix? I never actually heard of anyone having a second chance mate when the bond between the first mate hasn't completely disintegrated yet. Do I have a good feeling about this? To be really honest, no. I should be delighted about this, I know, but I can't help but dwell over what
Cleo is pregnant. I heard that very loud and clear, and I was just wide-eyed, staring at Blaze. I know I heard him correctly, and thus I was waiting for an explanation, but then nothing came out of him.That outburst from me was the last to be heard, as it was immediately followed by silence in the room. I am so furious that I wanted to smack Blaze right there and then wait for him to give me an explanation, but it seems that he never plans to.I am doing everything in my power to keep my furious outburst under control, but it can be really challenging and difficult because I can feel and hear Eris whimpering inside of me.My wolf is in pain. I can feel how disheartened she is after hearing the truth from our supposed mate. It is like history is repeating itself for us once more. But I do understand Eris's plight, b
