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
"Blaze, damn! Blaze! Dammit! What could possibly have happened to you?" Quen lashed out in panic as his friend lay motionless on the bed. "Blaze, bullshit! You're scaring me! Wake up!" Damn! Everyone was on edge, searching for any indication as to what had happened with Blaze, especially when the underboss was the one who found out about the status of their boss. Doctors were called immediately, but none of them could say what really happened or what was wrong with their leader. Quen yelled again, directing his men, "What the hell happened in here? How stupid all of you can be not to know what took place in here! Who was with him? Damn all of you! I need fucking answers!" It was to be expected that the underboss would be incensed after witnessing their boss unconscious in his own room at the warehouse. There is n
"Snow, we weren't supposed to abandon him like that. Are you sure he is going to be all right? What if he is in pain? What if something happens to him?" Eris has been persistent since they left Blaze, and Snow is not liking it. Eris has been beseeching her since they left her mate, but she is trying her best to disregard her wolf's whims. She knows that he might be in pain, but this is just the proper course of action for them and nothing else. Staying with Blaze is not an option anymore, especially if he is indeed fathering a child to another woman. "We need to get back. We need to alert Quen or his men to check on him. Don't be too harsh on him, Snow. We may be in pain because of what he did to us, but we can't let our mate die just like that." To be honest, she is also worried about Blaze. She saw how he got o
"Finally, my mate is here." "What are you talking about? What do you mean your mate is here? Are you completely out of your mind? That can't be, and you know that. You must be hallucinating." "My mate is here, Tank. I am sure of that, and it is not just my imagination. Me and Max can sniff our mate." "Do you honestly believe that you have a mate? Are you forgetting that you are bound to have no mate at all?" "I have a fucking mate, Tank! What are you even saying?" "So you think the Moon Goddess has forgiven you already? Is she like giving you a second chance now, you mean?" "No, idiot! This is not a second-chance mate, but probably a second chance for us to make things right
"We're losing it, Snow. We're losing our mate's scent. We have to move fast. We can't lose him again. We can't let him slip away from us again. We have wasted so much opportunity to find our mate; it is our chance to be happy." As usual, my wolf has been too preoccupied with the scent that was welcoming us when we reached the pack borders, and her conviction that we would eventually find our mate again has been what she has talked about since then. I mean, is she not getting tired of this? She can only be heartbroken for a couple of hours before returning to claiming that we have a potential mate, which frustrates me so much. Isn't she tired—not just of us running away and draining our energy to reach the pack but also of running away from our mates, who always turned out to be assholes? I really don't have any p
"Where the hell is she? Did any of you find her?" Another burst of fury from Blaze's voice reverberated across the room. "Where the fucking hell did she go this time? I need to find her by any means necessary! Fucking let me out of here! Are all of you forgetting who the boss is?! Quen, damn you!" Quen responded by saying, "Damn it, Blaze! Will you calm down? Tantrums like this are not good for you." "Come on, really? Calm down? You want me to fucking calm down? Are you hearing yourself right now?" "Yes, I want you to calm down. Don't stress yourself too much." "I find it impossible to calm down or even to be at ease when the reality that Snow just left is hitting me hard. She can't just leave me. I had to go after her, like I have been telling you since I woke up. I
After returning to the pack a few days ago, I'm still not certain if I made the right choice with this one. Eris and I haven't talked much about it, but I know that she is feeling my apprehension about a lot of things, and her choosing not to nag me about it is a good thing. I am the only one who can take responsibility for the complexity of things at the moment, and that is not very encouraging at all, but I cannot do anything about it. I am so stressed to the point that I don't even know what to do anymore. My thoughts constantly return to the particular day of my arrival, reliving every detail of that scenario in my head. Even though I am aware of the consequences of my actions and must accept things just the way they are, I cannot help but wonder what is truly happening. ---
My father and I had been staring at each other for a few moments now, too taken aback about seeing each other again to say anything at the moment. He acts as the Alpha, not my father, so even though my heart wanted to rush to him and give him a tight embrace, I am trying to contain myself. Eris is also whining inside of me; I am aware of how this scene is also affecting her as much as it is affecting me. I want to simply cry and let everything out because I wanted to admit just this once that I am weak, and with my wolf being as emotional as I can be, I don't know how to be strong. My father finally said, "Snow." When I heard him call out my name, a tear escaped from me because I couldn't stand it any longer. I missed him so much and wanted to feel that he felt the same way about me as his daughter, b
Quen showed up in his office at the exact moment he had anticipated, frustrated and angry at the command that he had issued to his men. "Bullshit, Blaze! You have done it again! Why did you order the men to get themselves ready and to gear up? What the hell are you up to this time?! We don't need to trouble ourselves for this. Won't you stop?" "I told you several times, Quen, I am not going to stop until I find her. I need to find Snow, and that's what I am doing." "Damn! You have a lot more important things to focus on instead of focusing your time on finding her. I have already placed an order for some of our men to locate her, so this is no longer your job, Blaze. Your child needs you." "This is my job," he answered firmly. "I need to find her, or else I will die."
