A WEAK SLAVE

Chloe Some time later... I couldn't keep working like a rat in that restaurant. I was too tired and hurt. It was then that Montana took me into his home. She was also once a slave, and knew better than anyone that I was destroyed. Of course, that didn't mean my work was over. Every now and then, I would be asked to do something. It took us a whole day and half of another day to prepare the place for the moon ceremony. Luna told me that there would be more than six hundred guests, between our pack and the neighbors, with whom we shared a peace treaty. When we finished packing everything, Luna sent me home so I could rest for a few hours. I had to be back at the leader's house by nightfall. The party wouldn't start until nine o'clock. When I got home, I was greeted by the unpleasant sight of my aunt walking around the living room naked... “Ecaaalt,” I said out loud, to get her attention. — You know, these rooms were made specifically for our privacy. Not to walk around the house

— Oh, come on, don't be a spoilsport. There's no way you're bored,” he drawled as he drank his beer. —Yes, I am, actually. I'm only here because I'm the host,” I looked at him. — Have you found your partner yet? I want to end this party soon. I regretted the question the moment it left my mouth. Max started crying and threw his arms around my shoulders. - No! I'm starting to believe I don't have a date. Ah, Goddess of the Moon! Will it be my destiny to be a lone wolf forever? — he shouted, holding my arms. — Let go of me, you idiot! But he held me with an iron hand. — No, you need to comfort me! I'm heartbroken, I can't find my partner. — I told you to let go of me! — I stopped abruptly when a heavenly scent entered my nostrils. I pushed Max aside, trying to sniff the air for the source. — What... hey! — Max started to whimper, but I stopped him. — Do you smell that smell? I asked him. - What a smell? Delancy asked. I completely forgot she was still there. - Hmm? — Max sniff

His voice was so rough that I started to shake. — I'm sure it must have been a misunderstanding, Alpha Aaron. I know Chloe wouldn't do something like that,” Luna said. “That's right,” Montana agreed. — I assure you, alpha, that my Chloe is not a thief. Something or someone made her run away from the party. She came home crying last night. Montana got in front of me, trying to defend me. — Surely, in her rush to get home safely and away from whoever hurt her, she forgot to return her uniform. I couldn't speak. I was shaking, pinned to the floor, fighting back the tears that desperately wanted to fall. Why was he being so mean to me? — Who did this to you, Chloe? — Luna asked suddenly. I looked at the alpha, who gave me a silent warning. I closed my mouth tightly and looked at my feet. — May I have a word with Miss Craton? Alone? — Alpha Aaron asked. I turned to Montana, who glanced at me briefly and then looked at the three people standing before us. “Um. Sure,” she said. My

And trying to shut up Cronnos, who was still barking about me ruining his chance at love. I decided to take up patrol duty tonight to get her out of my head, but I couldn't stop thinking about those beautiful gray eyes staring at me sadly. — She's out here! I can feel it! — Cronnos started screaming in my head. —What the fuck are you talking about, you old fleabag? I asked my wolf. Then a sweet smell entered my nostrils. I would recognize that smell anywhere. Was her... Chloe was here. But what was she doing so far from home at this time of night? It wasn't safe to run without protection. Anger rose inside me. What the fuck was she doing here in the woods, near the border, alone? - Who cares?! Find her before something happens to her! — Cronnos screamed in my head. I ran toward her scent—anxiety increased as I realized the scent was stronger near our pack border. I arrived at a clearing. Right next to the lake sat a beautiful wolf with fur as white as snow and eyes that spar

I turned to look at the only familiar figure I had left. “I don't want to leave you alone,” I told her. And it was true. Even though Montana and I didn't always see eye to eye, she was the one who raised me and took care of me after my father died. “I'll be fine, honey. I'm sure the alpha will allow us to meet. I highly doubted that. — I'm sorry, darling. But we must hurry,” Luna interrupted us. I ignored her and continued looking at aunt. “It's going to be okay, Chloe,” Montana said. — Go ahead and pack your things. We don't want to make the alpha angry. I thought about it. Make that man angry. What difference would it make? He was always irritated. Even so, I shook my head and went up to my room to pack my things, collecting everything I would need, before leaving the place I always called home. As soon as I finished packing my things, I went downstairs and caught part of the conversation between Luna and Montana. —He accused her of stealing yesterday! Why does he want he
