A WEAK SLAVE 45
I ran up the stairs and down the hall until I reached our room. I went in and marched to the bathroom and turned on the sink tap. I grabbed a handful of water and splashed it all over my face. When it comes out. Aaron was standing there, waiting for me. "I told you. I'm fine,” I said, then walked past him and sat on the bed. He was still standing in front of the bathroom door staring at me. “I contacted Remus. I told him we were leaving for Fairbanks tomorrow,” he said I nodded and we both fell silent once more. We sat in that awkward silence for a few minutes. He stopped at the door, looking at me. I was looking at the ground, but I could feel his gaze on me “Don't look at me like I'm a strange animal. I’m scared enough by all this,” I replied. "I am really sorry. Chloe,” he said, looking at his feet. “But I never saw you as a strange animal. On the contrary. I thought what you just did was incredible.” He came and sat next to me on the bed. “I think you're the most extraordina

The man dropped the knife immediately “Welcome back, Lady Chloe,” Remus turned to me and bowed his head, the others followed suit I growled in annoyance and huffed before entering the chambers. I know I should have just changed back to my human form and let them know who I was, but I still wasn't comfortable walking around naked in front of everyone. I looked around the locker room until I found a huge training t-shirt that someone must have left behind. I put it on. The hem barely reached mid-thigh, but it would have to do for now. I came back and found everyone still stunned, looking at me Aspen was the first to approach me, she hooked her arm in the my “Your wolf is so beautiful, Chloe! How come you never showed it to us?” she said. I couldn't help the blush that quickly took over my face. “I never had the opportunity to do that,” I replied. The cook then approached me, bowing his head, showing his neck in submission. “Forgive me, Lady Chloe, for threatening you with a kn

"I'm telling the truth. Things are fine. We stay out of each other’s lives,” I said. He finally nodded, accepting that this was all I was going to say about living with Aaron. We continued walking in silence, until Max finally spoke again. “Chloe, I know you already have a partner, but I've been thinking. Well, actually, hoping that maybe you and I could... you know, hang out?” he blurted out. Scratching the back of the neck I looked at him in shock. “You mean leave... like a couple?” I asked, still perplexed. "Good. Yes. As a couple. I thought that since you don't want to accept Aaron after all the shit he did to you, and I haven't found my partner yet, maybe we're meant to be together. “ His cheeks were red “I don’t know what to say, Max.” I really didn't know what to say. All this time, I had seen Max as a big brother. I never thought of him as anything else, but he was right. He wasn't mated, and things between me and Aaron didn't work out from the start. “You don't have

CHLOE After agreeing to go on a date with Max, I returned home, still not knowing if it was a good idea or not. After all, I was still mated to Aaron When I opened the door, someone hit it with their hand and pushed me against the wall. Closing my eyes with sudden force as my back hit the wall. When I opened them, Aaron trapped me between the wall and his body. His eyes had a menacing gleam that I had never seen before. They were a deep shade of blue, not the normal baby blue I was used to. “What the hell is this—” But he put his hand over my mouth, shushing me when he started smelling me. What the hell? Let me go!, I mentally connected to him. He lifted his head to look at me as he growled. That's when I realized it wasn't Aaron, but Cronnos who had taken command. I managed to get his hand out of my mouth. “Cronnos. Let Aaron take back control, now,” I ordered him. He didn't move, however, and his glare turned into pure lust. I knew what that meant. I could feel the sparks

I turned my attention to Max's message. “I'm more anxious about the consequences of this,” I told myself. I felt like I was going to throw up all my breakfast. Instead, I looked at the remaining texts, which were from Emma. I snorted. As usual, so authoritative. Well, I didn't need to meet Max until five o'clock. Which would give me more than enough time to think about what to say to him. I had to find a way to make it not sound so harsh, but still enough for him to understand that I could never there is an “us” between us.. ** CHLOE The hours passed painfully quickly. I sat at home, thinking about whether or not I should pretend to be sick and not go to the date. But then I imagine Max getting hurt because I dumped him, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Max has been nothing but sweet to me since the first time I met him He took care of me, gave me a shoulder to cry on when Aaron treated me—his own partner—like trash. Why couldn't I have been mated with Max? Why was the Mo

“Thanks for the day, Max. I really had a great time.” I said before running out of there. It would take me at least forty minutes to walk to the bus station Emma would freak out, and I would never hear the end of her rant about me being late “Rors, wait! I’ll take you to the station in my car.” Max said, catching up to me easily. “It's okay. You don't have to do that,” I said. I really didn't want to spend any more time with him. It was already strange up until then "Everything is fine. I'll take you there, it will be much faster. Also, I assume your friend is coming with bags, and as far as I remember, you don’t have a car.” He moved his keys in front of me And he was right. “Okay,” I said. He smiled and led me across the parking lot to where his Jeep was parked. It was a Wrangler model, all black with huge wheels. I jumped into the passenger seat and we headed towards the bus station. I imagined Emma furious as she waited for me at the police station. Thank the Goddess, the jo

She patted my shoulder. “Remus, Max, Emma and I will always be ready to support you, no matter what.” “Thank you, Aspen. I will remember this." I gave her a reassuring smile, which she returned before heading back into the crowd. I turned and leaned my hands on the table. Stifling a sigh of frustration. I lifted my head and looked out the window at the dense forest beyond the yard. It felt so lonely and scary out there. I felt like someone was watching me. I thought I saw a blonde woman darting deeper into the forest. Delancy? -I asked myself What is she doing here? Rhea growled. I don't know, but it's dangerous for her to be in the forest. We don't know who is kidnapping the gang members. Oh, please. If they kidnap her, they will be doing all werewolves a favor. - Rhea replied, rolling her eyes. I personally agreed with her, but my protective instincts got the better of me, so I quickly ran through the crowd, unnoticed, as everyone's attention was on the new beta couple. The

A dozen more hunters exploded above the trees, all of them holding guns or bows with arrows. They shot at Aaron, but he managed to dodge as he ran toward me and Delancy. Climb! -I heard Aaron's voice command my head. I quickly climbed onto his broad wolf back and grabbed as tight as I could into his fur. “Aaron! What about me? Aren’t you going to help me too?” Delancy whimpered. Cronnos just glared at her before huffing and running off. "Hang on! Aaron!” It was the last thing we heard before a round of gunshots rang out behind us. Cronnos quickly ran through the dense forest. Dodging every tree in our path. I held on tight, so I wouldn't fall. “Aaron, we could have saved Delancy,” I scolded him. You're impressive), I heard his exasperated voice in my head. I? Why ? I asked Delancy literally sold you to those hunters and here you are arguing why I didn't save her skin?! She was lucky I didn't bite her head off! Aaron growled. I still couldn't help but feel bad for Delancy. Ye
