"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."
"Eris, what do you think has taken place here since we were gone?" It was an inquiry that had been brought up more than once before, but his father nor Ryder never had anything to say, nor did they have the drive to give them the answers until now. "Aren't you wondering what's wrong and why the Alpha refuses to allow us to go home? I mean, I can't understand why we aren't allowed to return home and see the pack." The only thing Eris was able to say was, "I don't know as well, Snow." Like Snow, Eris is curious as to why they are unable to return home, but unlike Snow, she is not inclined to keep asking for an explanation—especially if the Alpha is the one who is preventing them from doing so. Eris happens to be terrified of the Alpha, so she knows when to give up on finding out the answers that are being kept away from them.
"Ahh! Fuck it! I'm wounded." Blaze's anguished growl resonated amid the crossfires, causing his troops to feel worried about him once again. Trying to do everything he could to drag Blaze away from the chaos, Quen stated, "Damn it! This is exactly what I was so concerned about. We're under attack again. Take cover and ensure the boss's safety." He mumbled, furious, "Damn, we're back in this hell hole again." Blaze declared, "I am fine." He is doing his best to keep his men from getting distressed because of him again. He doesn't want to further add to the concern of his men. "I can still fight, but damn try to locate who is ambushing us." "This is pointless, Blaze. We need to retreat or we will all die in here." "No. We have to at least try to find her."
