A WEAK SLAVE 72
CHLOE"For!" I ran towards the two, my heart in my mouth, an entire living organism.Aaron was so busy trying to choke Eleanor that he didn't hear me right away. His wolf was furious and his eyes were red with rage.“I'm going to kill you once and for all,” he said to Eleanor, holding her tightly. “You dared to come between me and Chloe and push her away. I will finish you.”I couldn't see that nothing I said would bring him back, so I did the next best thing.Or maybe this was the best thing I could have done under the circumstances.A warm glow like an ember began to take root in the center of my chest. I waited until it was a little ball and removed it so it could nestle in my arms.But this time I didn't shoot at the two with the intention of causing harm.No, I told the ball what to do.Show them I'm okay, I whispered to him. Show them that they don't have to k

"Chloe?" The question echoed until I stirred from my restless sleep. Once again in the forest, seeking answers without knowing what I pursued. Riddles in the dark. Rhea nudged me awake. "Hey. You’re having a rough few days, aren’t you?” I sighed. “Tell me about it.” Yawning, my attention fixed on the concerned face before me. Aaron regarded me as if I were a fragile trinket. "What is it?" I asked him. “And can I have a coffee first?” He smiled. Moments later, I had a cup of steaming, frothy cappuccino. Much better. “I'm leaving the castle grounds for a while. I don't know when I'll be back. Reports of witches in the southern bend of the White Mountain.” My heart sank. If witches were near our territory, Wendell wasn't far away. “You’re not going alone.” I took a sip of coffee, meeting his gaze. He gave a characteristic frown. “I thought you would resist. It’s not safe, Chloe.” “No more for you than for me,” I replied. “The south curve is just a few miles from Fairbank. We

ChloeI fought on the front lines, side by side with Aaron.The sound of clashing metal and the heat of battle surrounded me, but I remained focused on the task at hand.Suddenly, I spotted Wendell running away from an explosion.Adrenaline pumping through my veins, I followed him, determined to bring him to justice for what he did to our pack. I found him crouched behind a fallen tree, trying to escape the chaos like a coward.“You won't get away with it, Wendell,” I growled, taking a step toward him. “You and your hunters will pay for what you did here.”But Wendell just laughed, his eyes shining with a cruel light.“Oh, I think so, my dear Chloe,” he said, a sneer on his lips. “I have plans for chaos here. Plans to look like a hero at the end of the day.”Anger rose at his words and I lunged at him, claws bared. He dodged and we faced each other, circling each other cautiously.“Why are you doing this, Wendell?” I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. “Why hurt so many innocent peo

CHLOE Coronation day has finally arrived.It had been a month since the war that nearly destroyed our pack, and the sun was shining once again.I couldn't believe I was finally going to be crowned Luna from Blood Moon. Aaron would be by my side.“Girl, I can’t tell you how excited I am for you!” Emma staggered, almost twice as excited as I was. “You look so stunning! I’m fainting!”I stood in front of the mirror in my dressing room, wearing a bright, light blue dress that the witches had given me as a gift.It was embroidered with silver threads that caught the light and sparkled like stars. My hair was styled in loose waves, my makeup was minimal with a hint of pink on my lips.As I walked down the hall toward the makeshift stage, I could see the witches and pack members gathered together, waiting for me.I felt his eyes on me and for a moment my nervousness took over me.But then I saw Elenaor smiling at me and all my worries disappeared. I knew this was my calling, my path to clai

AARON“Reject me! I would rather be a wolf without a pack than become your stupid luna.”Chloe stood before us. The tears still streaming down her face, her eyes filled with hatred and determination.“Lady Chloe, think about this carefully. If you are marked as a renegade you will lose the protection that only a pack can offer,” said one of the elders.“Ah, you mean the kind of protection I should have had when the renegades attacked the hospital?” she scoffed. “Yeah, I think I’m better off alone.”“Chloe, the elders are right. If you leave the village, you will be exposed. Most of the groups around the area know that you are our luna. You would become a target immediately,” Max interjected.She turned to me “What now then? Do you go out and shout to the world that I'm your partner? After all the threats and warnings you gave me if I did this?!”“No, Chloe, I…” I started to make up an excuse, but Elder Leto spoke before I could finish “No, Mrs. Chloe. This-"She interrupted him. “Stop

CHLOEI was released from the hospital shortly after, but I refused to go to the pack house, so I returned to my parents' house.Aaron, the elders, and Max complained about it not being safe, but I couldn't care less. Anywhere was safer than being near them. Close to my partner, to be more precise.When I reached the threshold and saw the dust covering every corner of the place, I realized how lonely I felt. I had finally returned to my home, but I had no one to return to. I was completely alone. Mom is gone. Dad is gone. And Montana too.I walked into the house, remembering the good old days, remembering when Dad and I played hide and seek or when I met Montana. She and I would argue about everything, but we would make up later, while watching a scary movie and eating popcorn.A single tear fell and I wiped it away. I was tired of crying.I went to the kitchen and took out the broom, dustpan and other cleaning utensils.I would clean this place until it was sparkling. I would clear e

CHLOEThe next day I woke up feeling like shitAfter my talk with Aaron last night, I marched up to my room.A while later. I heard the front door close and thought he was gone. My stomach growled and I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything the night before, thanks to Aaron Argh's sudden visit. I can't help but think about him. -No matter what I do, I can't help the feelings I have for Aaron. Of course you can't. After all, he is our partner, Rhea said casually, sitting down and wagging her tail.Whatever. –I rolled my eyes, then got up and took a quick shower before going down to the kitchen and getting something to eat.I was surprised to find that the dishes from the night before had been washed and the pizza had been stored in the fridge.Aaron must have done it! He's so cute! Rhea sighedNo he's not. Remember the hell he put us through: -I made a face at my wolf, but she was too busy thinking about our partner to notice.I went to the fridge and realized it was empty. All I had
A WEAK SLAVE 80
CHLOEI spent the rest of the night with Aspen, Max and Remus, who insisted that I drop the formality and just call him by his name. I agreed on the condition that he also stop calling me lady or luna. There was no way I could accept it. I was home at dusk. It felt strange walking into the house when there would be no one there to greet me, but I had to get used to the idea that my family was gone. As soon as I walked in, I went to the kitchen to put my groceries away, but I heard the phone ring.I ran to the corner where he was in the living room and answered it."Hello?"“Thank the Goddess! Where have you been?! I was starting to panic here!”, Emma's voice boomed on the line “Em? What’s the problem?” I asked.“What do you mean WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?! I was super worried. Mom called me telling me that you had been kidnapped and that now you are the luna!”, she shouted.“What the hell, Rors” Why didn’t you tell me that you and the alpha mated?”I sighed, exasperated. Not again, I though
