“Um...” I said as I looked at his hand that had an iron grip on my wrist. Goosebumps ran down my arm as sparks burned me at his touch.Suddenly, a flash of the day we were together flashed through my head, and I remembered how he had marked me in that moment. My body shuddered involuntarily at the bittersweet memory and he noticed it.He quickly let go of my hand and almost jumped out of his chair as he put distance between us.“Sorry, Chloe, I didn't know it was that time of the month. I swear I’m not willing to touch you without your consent,” he stammered as he spoke.“I usually try to stay away when you're going through this phase. I will leave immediately.I’ll tell Emma and Aspen to come keep you company.” He said as he headed for the door.For some reason, I didn't want him to go. I didn't want him to leave me. He was about to walk out the now open door when I closed it in his face. I go
WOLFANG Last night, I almost had my companion in my arms. For the first time, she was the one who initiated the kiss. If it weren't for that damn witch, we could have done it right there in the passage. I knew she was starting her heat phase. She was giving off a lot of pheromones, but I wanted to believe that she was willing to be with me because she wanted it too. She could have let me go when I was going, right? But she held me and kissed me anyway. After dinner, I decided it would be best for me to leave. Somehow, after the kiss, her heat increased, and the smell was driving Cronnos crazy, making it difficult to control him. Back at the mansion, I had to take a very cold shower to control myself. The next day, I decided to avoid her while she was still in heat and would keep myself stuck in the office. Since she was going through this, I doubted she would even leave the house. She was marked by me and everyone in the village knew she was my mate, but still, as the mating was
CHLOE Things couldn't have been better. My partner was the most amazing person who knew exactly what to say when you needed to hear it. If someone had told me a few months ago that this was Aaron, I would have laughed in their face. I would never believe in a thousand years that this would be the same person who would just look at me and tell me to. When Max mentioned he was meeting our most eligible bachelorette, species . I panicked. So when I saw her, for some reason. I was taken back to despair, remembering the time he hung out with Delancy. But things are different now, my partner is different and there was nothing that could change between us. He loved me and I loved him. I can not believe. I really love this guy. He gave me so much heartache that I just wanted him to disappear, but now, I can't think of being away from him again. I always dreamed of having someone as loving as my partner, and after I found out that Aaron was my partner, I lost hope that things could re
CHLOE We spent the entire night in that lakeside meadow until morning caught up with us. Needless to say, we shared intimate moments about ten times more. What can I say? We couldn't get enough of each other. Aaron and I made it our personal mission to make up for all the lost time last year, and boy, did we go all out. We even switched things up and let Rhea and Cronnos explore their connection, finally giving them the chance to be together as companions. When we were completely satisfied with each other, dawn had arrived, but we still clung to each other, not wanting the moment to end. Unfortunately, Aaron had his duties as Alpha. "Damn it. There they go again," he complained as he sensed others attempting to reach him through the mind link, but he had put up a block. "Maybe you should lift the block and see what they want. What if it's something important?" I expressed my concern that the pack might be in trouble since they had been trying to reach him for a while. "Nah. N
CHLOE I blinked twice looking at his dumbfounded face. Face "What did you say?" I asked him, not knowing if I had actually heard correctly. “I said you would gr=” "No." I cut him off. "What did you call me?" I saw him get nervous as he looked at our feet and scratched the back of his head. “Ah, um... Chloe,” he replied. timidly as if he had just committed a serious crime. “It’s the first time you’ve called me by my nickname.” I whispered, more to myself than him. “Actually, I've wanted to call you that ever since I heard Max do it,” he said. “But I won’t call you that if you don’t like it.” “No… please don’t stop calling me Chloe. I love the sound of that coming from your voice.” I confessed and I swear, your face lit up like July. “Chloe... You are mine. Chloe,” he said before pecking my lips. “I am yours, as you are mine… Aaron.” I said between kisses. His body rumbled as he laughed. "What is so funny?" I asked, amused by her sweet laugh. “I always hated that nickn
“Did you do this, witch?” he growled and I swear the ground shook beneath us. He took a threatening step towards her as she quickly raised her hands in mock surrender. "Sorry. Not me, mutt,” she said as she pointed at me. "Your." “Ror…” he turned to me. "You did...?" He couldn't finish the word and just gestured around the room. I nodded numbly. “How is this…” he started to ask, but Eleanor interrupted him. “She needs to train more. Chloe still doesn't understand how great and dangerous her powers are as the daughter of the moon goddess." “Wendell Grosvenor is out there getting an army to wipe you all out, and you guys are thinking about having a damn party tonight.” She scolded us like two teenagers who got caught in the janitor's closet. Without another word, she left the room, leaving Aaron and I alone. “Are you really okay, honey?” He said as he held my hands, squeezing them a little too hard. “I… I am. How do you know?" I asked. Realizing he was the only one who came. Ev
Remus and Aspen entered soon after, then the gamma couple from the Night Walker pack followed them. Then Max and Emma, as well as the beta couple from the visiting group. Sierra were the next to enter, leaving me alone, waiting for my name to be announced along with Aaron's. The nerves were consuming me. I didn't want to do this alone. I hated the idea of going in and being the center of attention. I can't do this Rhea. I should just go back inside, I told my wolf and I made a U-turn and was about to run when I came across a wall, only this wall rumbled as I laughed. “And where do you think you’re running to. Cinderella? The clock hasn’t struck midnight yet.” Aaron said as he gave me a quick hug, tingles of mate bond teasing my body as he held me. “Aaron.” I smiled. Relieved. “I thought you weren’t going to show.” “Sorry, baby. I got caught with something. You look stunning.” He responded as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and then leaned in to kiss my lips. I was alm
I shook my head, overwhelmed. "No, I'm not fine. I let my anger get the best of me and now, look what happened. How many people were injured?”Aaron stepped forward with a grim expression."We don `t know yet. We need to find out and help them. But first we need to get out of here before the hunters and their allies return.”Max nodded in agreement. “We should go back to pack territory and regroup. We’ll figure out our next steps there.”I shook my head, feeling a deep sense of shame and regret. I always knew my powers were dangerous, but I never imagined I would cause so much devastation.As we started heading back to pack territory, I couldn't help but feel like I had let everyone down.My mind was full of thoughts about how I could have done things differently, how I could have avoided causing so much damage.Suddenly, Rhea moved inside me and I could feel her presence in my mind.“Chloe,&
