CHLOE The Moon Goddess was definitely punishing me for something I did in a past life It had been a week since we got back from our trip, which meant it had been a week since Aaron moved into my house. Saying this was an awkward situation – living with my partner, same as, just a few months ago. He was determined to reject me and treated me like dirt – that was an understatement. He now roamed around my house like a good housewife: cooking, cleaning and even doing laundry. I couldn't deny that their food was excellent. I thought I might be gaining weight because of this, but it was still very uncomfortable. “So, how is life as a couple so far?” Emma asked during a video call. “That's not funny, Em,” I said, rolling my eyes at her. I was sitting in the living room, FaceTime with my best friend and scrolling through N*****x for something interesting to watch. Aaron was in a meeting, so I had the place to myself. “Oh come on, Rors It can’t be that bad, right? He's her partner, aft

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 AaronWhen 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 d

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 himHe 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 Moon Goddess so eager to keep me and Aaron together?It was clear as day that he didn't want me. He had only recently recognized me because I might be of royal descent, which could make him king of the werewolves.Just itKnock, knock. A-Miss. Kala knocked lightly on my door.“The day is over, Lady Chloe. I'm going back to the mansion now. Shouldn't you go meet beta Max in a bit?" she asked meMy stomach churned with anxiety.“Yes

CHLOE Somehow I managed to escape Wendell and quickly run away for over an hour, dodging trees, trying to get away from the hunters. I was trying to get back to the pack house, to warn them, but I couldn't get past the renegade bastards. and I couldn't call anyone since I wasn't in wolf form.I couldn't transform. My white wolf would be an easy target.If I had been crowned a luna, I could talk to each member of the pack if I needed to, without having to transform. Somehow, the human hunters created a barrier that muffled the gunshots, so that no wolves were able to hear them. .If they could, they would now be invading the entire forest. This had to be the work of a witch, but how did they get one to cooperate with them?I smelled nine people in total, including Wendell and Tallulah.This bitch I couldn't believe she was working with them.That's how they got to know our weaknesses. This is how they managed to cross our

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. 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 Tallulah 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 Tallulah failed in her task.” I was also sure that was the case. So far, our attempts to contact Alpha Wilhelm and his members have been futi
