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."
This might have been the most detrimental action Eris and I have ever taken, but it doesn't matter because I know that I must do everything in my power to save my mate as soon as I hear him calling out to me. I cannot let anything happen to Blaze even though I am deeply hurt with all that has transpired between us. Yes, I still continue to think of him as my mate, despite my mind's denial that I still need him. In my heart, we still have that connection, and there is still a vague hope in me that that connection we have will never fade. I am honestly torn between him and Phoenix because I know that, although it is a faint one, I still have a mate bond between both of them. And I am as confused as probably Eris is right now. I distinctly recall feeling that unbearable pain in my chest, and recognizing that Blaze was in trouble, I, right away, began to take act
"That's her! I am sure that's her; even if I haven't seen her wolf yet, without a doubt, I know that it is her." "Alpha Phoenix, you may be mistaken." "No. I know what I felt and I know what I am saying. That is her. That's Snow. Max is so sure about that scent as well. That pristine white wolf is my mate. Tank, you do believe me, right?" "It's honestly hard to say if that is really Snow or not. I mean, why would she be there?" "That wolf is Snow, and she is my fucking mate. However, I can't help but question why in the world doesn't she seem to even recognize me? And who the hell is that bastard who keeps calling out her name?" Phoenix is obviously incensed about what just happened, and everything that transpired is obviously driving his desire to kill someone, spec
Although it was not my original plan to bring Blaze and Quen to the house where Eris and I are staying, I don't have any other option as I find myself at a loss for what to do. I have to make sure that I heal my mate, who has been wounded, before I get rid of them. And on top of that, I need to make sure that the pack of wolves who ambushed them will no longer be a threat to them. He has been staring at me since earlier, and I am conscious of the fact that he has a lot of questions for me, but I'm not even sure if I'm prepared to give him the responses he was hoping for at this time. I may have revealed to him who I really am or what I really was, but I'm not sure if I can further explain my existence to him in more detail. There is a lot for me to consider before I tell him the story of my life other than what he already knows, that my fiance cheated on me w
"I don't know what has gotten into you, Snow, but I like it. I like this new you so much that this might actually be the first time that I have completely agreed with your decisions without a fuss." I could only roll my eyes upon hearing what Eris had to say. Of course, she would like the decision that I have made. Now that we are back in the human realm, my wolf is naturally happy that I was unable to restrain my desires for Blaze. The mate bond still exists between us, no matter how hard I try to end it. But to be perfectly honest, the mate bond may not have been the only reason why we are here with Blaze. I actually have no idea why I chose to be here instead of fixing the problem I created at the pack. Out of nowhere, I just felt the need to hear whatever he had to say. "The fact that he referred to us
And just like that, Snow was gone. Without saying anything further to him or any other explanations regarding her actions, she left him again. He did not want her to go, but he was powerless to do anything to stop her. He saw how determined Snow is in leaving, and because he eventually allowed her to go, especially to be with her original mate, Blaze despises himself even more.But can he really do something about that? He hates the fact that he doesn't know as much as he needs to about this fucking pack that she keeps on mentioning. He is even more agitated that even though he is a wolf, his level of understanding about what he truly is doesn't even come close for him to genuinely understand his kind."Fuck it!" he grumbled viciously. ""he left me to be with him, and I just let them. This is bullshit! What a total moron am I!"
Blaze's initial remarks after bringing Snow into his room have been, "What exactly in the hell was that? Who the hell does he think he is, and why the fucking hell are you kissing him?! And are you even real to stop me from killing that asshole?!"Blaze's impulses have become unrestrained after everything that he has witnessed. He doesn't fully understand what was happening, but all he knew was that he was losing his damn control and his mind because someone was taking ownership of what was supposed to be his.And he hates feeling this way. He hates the fact that his heart is aching like this. The primary explanation for why he never wanted to fall in love in the first place was basically because of this. Love is an intricate emotion that merely causes upheaval and confusion.He was better before because he never in
Blaze finds it hard to believe what he's actually witnessing. He left Snow earlier because of some urgent matters that he needed to attend to, but when he came back, this scene was actually what made him seethe in anger. He cannot, for the life of him, let any man take what is his, but right at this moment that asshole is actually taking what is his.He had completely forgotten the need to wait for an explanation as soon as he saw the man's lips connect to Snow's. He wanted one thing, and that is to kill the asshole. With Quen behind him and getting ready to take action as well, he charged at the man and then delivered him the most powerful shove he could. "You will die, jerk!"Snow yelled back at him, "Blaze! Stop!" after which she attempted to block his way so he wouldn't get too close to the guy she was smooching with.
If she had been taken aback by Phoenix's sudden appearance in the human world, she is now completely dumbfounded by what she has heard him say to her. It seems that this man has a habit of shocking her each and every time they meet.The words he said kept repeating over and over in her head, and even her wolf popped up to rejoice in that declaration, despite the fact that she had previously accepted that they were already destined for their second chance mate, Blaze.She glared, letting Phoenix know that she had no intention of listening to whatever he was attempting to say. How can he change so dramatically after rejecting her? What actually happened between him and Maddie to make him want her this much after everything that he did to destroy her self-worth? What kind of game is he playing right now with her?
To say that Snow was taken aback to see Phoenix again after he rejected her would be considered an understatement. And if that was not enough of a surprise for her, seeing him in human territory is another big shock. But what was even more unexpected for her was when he introduced himself to Blythe as her fiancé.Is he out of his damn mind? How can he even consider himself her fiancé when he outright rejected her when he realized that she was his mate? A lot of questions are going on in her mind as she stares incredulously at the two men in front of her."What are you two doing here?" She asked in disbelief. She is doing her best to act nonchalant so she can prevent Blythe from asking questions, but her tone in questioning Phoenix was admittedly in utter shock."Fiancé? You are Snow's fiancé? Since when?" Blythe ask
It's early in the morning, and Snow is trying her best not to wake anyone up in the house as she goes to the kitchen. Blaze and Quen left early that day, so she was left to herself. He promised, though, that he wouldn't be out too long and that he'd be back for breakfast, and that is the reason why she is planning to prepare a meal for him.Indeed, everything between her and Blaze changed. They spend more time together now than ever, as if Blaze is terrified of losing her again. Well, with Cleo out of the picture, that won't be necessary anymore. She has taken her rightful place as his mate, and the only thing left for them is to complete the mating ritual and explain to Balze's family and gang what they truly are."Gotcha!" A voice blurted out behind her. "I don't know where Blaze kept you or where you've been hiding the past few days, but that is over now."
This was what I wanted. Although I am still not prepared for the entire mating ritual, as Eris mentioned earlier, I nevertheless desire him. There is nothing that can stop me from lusting over Blaze, since I wanted him as much as he wanted me.To make our bond stronger, and in order for my bond with Phoenix to weaken, we simply have to complete the mating, but that can be a discussion for another time. After all, the mating will have to happen on the full moon. Right now, I need him. I need him to be inside of me.He is my mate. In the same way as I am his, he is mine, and when I'm in his arms, any uncertainty I had about the uneasiness that's still present in my being vanishes. His kisses are enough for me to give him my full attention.I am now ready to give in to my desires. I may be confused about a lot of thing
She had not seen Blaze or Cleo after her dispute with the woman. And for several hours now, her train of thoughts, with each passing instant, is making her feel even more anxious than before. A lot of questions and what-ifs are going on in her mind, even if she doesn't want to. She is feeling very scared at the moment of the possibility that, in the end, everything will not turn out to be what she wanted.But this is so wrong. She knew that this wasn't how it was supposed to be. As Quen earlier pointed out, they have already found out that Cleo is lying about the pregnancy. The baby and everything are all a product of Cleo's wild imaginations and her made-up stories; therefore, she shouldn't be feeling this way. The reports that Quen and his men managed to get will take care of Blaze and her troubles all by themselves, right? It should be, but why is it that there is anxiety inside of her?
Blaze snapped at Cleo, his booming voice reverberating in the room. "How dare you! You are such a liar!" He is trying his best to control himself to no avail, but what he learned just a few minutes ago is making him react this way.Quen arrived just to stop him from sending Cleo home when she was ready to depart and his friend gave him the most amazing news: Cleo is not pregnant with his child; in fact, she is not pregnant at all. And everything she just said is a made-up story.He had waited for this validation for so long. Cleo definitely prepared well for her lies, but consequently, not too well to keep his men from knowing the truth. Yes, the news is fantastic, but he can't help but feel enraged with the woman in front of him, who appears to be too shocked to even respond to him.He notices that Cleo is frighten
