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

“There's nothing you can do, princess.” Wendell finally showed his face as he stepped out of the shadows of the trees. The moon was the only source of light. “What did you do to him?” I growled, feeling my blood boil at the sight of him. “Your partner is in a trance, thanks to the potion the witches threw at you. I'm surprised it didn't knock you both out, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on you,” Wendell said, sneering. “I'm sure it has something to do with that witch, Eleanor, who raised your mother. But now Aaron has succumbed to his true nature. A wild beast!” Aaron ran after me, trying to bite my arm with his powerful jaws, but I managed to avoid him, jumping over him. I quickly ran to the nearest tree, needing to get to a high place. A human blocked my path, his gun pointed at me, and a witch created some kind of lasso that Cronnos avoided. "Don't shoot! Let’s make them fight," Wendell commanded his henchman. “This is a sight to behold. The alpha is about to destroy his

AARON “The doctor's diagnosis was that the mixture the witches threw in was a combination of dogkill and nightingale serum,” Remus explained. “He said it wasn't a strong dose of dogkill, so it wasn't that harmful, but the affected pack members may be debilitated for a few days,” he continued. We sat in my office, assessing the situation that occurred the night before. He and I took less damage than the rest of the pack. Max was seriously injured because he received most of the scams aimed at his newfound partner, who happened to be Chloe's best friend. What were the chances? “There haven’t been many casualties so far?” I asked my gamma, inspecting the papers the pack doctor had sent me. “Very few, alpha. Just the trackers and warriors who were on guard and Delancy Wilhelm,” he replied. He hesitated. “We still haven’t been able to contact the Blue Moon gang. My guess is that the pack disbanded when Delancy failed in her task.” I was also sure that was the case. So far, our attempts

"Don't be so sure about it, Chloe. You were lucky last night, but that hunter is far from defeated. He's determined to exterminate your kind forever." “My species?” I repeated "Royal members." I hesitated a little with your pronouncement . We already suspected this, but I heard her confirm... “How are you so sure,” I asked her. “I'm a witch, Chloe. And gossip travels quickly among my kind.” She winked at me and rolled up her sleeves. “So, have you mastered any elements so far?” “Element?” I had to ask. What did she mean by that? “As a member of royalty, you have the power to control the elements Earth, wind, fire and water. Once you master all four, you will be the most powerful wolf in all of creation,” she explained. This explains the purple flames and the what you did to Delancy, Rhea butted in. “Does that mean I’ll be able to walk on water and stuff?” I asked, excited by the prospect of being able to do incredible things. She laughed. “Well, I’m not sure about walking on

“So, Mr. Alpha, would you mind explaining to me why you treated my Chloe the way you did when she found out you two were partners?” she asked, taking a sip of her tea. “It was a misunderstanding, but we're getting over it. this,” Aaron said with a serious expression. Are you kidding me! We are not even close to getting over this! “So, is it okay for you to make fun of my little girl, running around with another wolf, harassing her and even threatening to turn her into a renegade? However, you question whether my intentions are sincere or not?” Eleanora's skin tone changed to a pale green. She seemed to be transforming into some unknown creature. Then his eyes turned gold and the house began to shake. Aaron, Remus and I stood up, on guard. What little sunlight came through the windows was quickly covered by rumbling clouds, casting an ominous shadow inside Aaron's office. If not for our enhanced vision, I might not have seen the beast transforming before us. “You were gifted with
