- I don't know. I've been feeling sick since dinner.
- Me too. Maybe we're just tired. Let's rest tonight and we'll see how it goes tomorrow, okay? I said.
A good idea Rhea replied. With a weak smile, she lay down, curling up into a ball.
A few days after dinner, I was still not feeling well and Tallullah was being more demanding than ever.
It was as if something was draining my strength.
My wolf has been away recently too. I tried to contact her, but she was nowhere to be seen.
I figured Aaron and Delancy's engagement announcement had affected Rhea too. She didn't seem excited the night of the dinner.
— You know, you don't have to put up with this. You are the alpha's handmaiden. Not hers. said Aspen.
She was helping me with the dishes I had just brought from Aaron and Delancy's room.
- Everything is fine. I don't call. - I said. And I wasn't going to stay here much longer either, anyway.
I decided to escap

“For your partner, Delancy Wilhelm,” Max said, anger burning in his eyes.— Remus said he tried to defend her, but he couldn't do anything because of the warning she had already received, the incident with the uniform. — He looked at me. - For your cause! If you don't love that girl, why can't you just leave her alone? She is young and will probably meet her partner soon. What will you do when that time comes?I turned around and punched the wall.Why did I put that fucking warning on her record?—Aaron! What... what are those marks on your back? — Max asked.I turned to face him.- What are you talking about?But even as he spoke, I instinctively raised my hand and scratched the spot he mentioned.— You have red marks all over your back. — said Max.- What? — I tried looking over my shoulder. But I couldn't see it properly.“It doesn't matter,&rdqu

AaronI ran to the hospital as fast as I could, and there I marched to the emergency room.I found Remus and Aspen sitting in the living room.- Where is she? I asked.— She's fine, alpha. They gave her something for her fever and are treating the wounds on her back,” Aspen replied.—Treating the wounds? Shouldn't they be healed by now? —Our wolf powers should have healed those wounds the same day they were made.— They were all intact and, in fact, infected. That's why she had such a high fever. said Remus.My stomach started to churn.How was this possible? Why were his wounds still open after almost a week?“Beta Barone found Chloe semiconscious and hallucinating,” Aspen added.I was getting even more anxious.— I still can't feel it. I can't feel your wolf,” Cronnos said, tormented.—Did the doctor say anything about her not being cured?

Aaron As soon as I returned to the mansion, I met Elder Leto. —Did the security people finish reviewing the video? I asked him. - No sir. But we have another problem. A report has just arrived; There are records of movement of renegades towards our sides. — They didn't try to get in here, but it's still suspicious. — he continued. Excellent. Not only did I have to investigate the allegations against Chloe, but now I still had to deal with the renegades. Aaron I was sitting in a meeting about the renegades that had been seen roaming the pack, but my mind was on Chloe and the evidence that she had been falsely accused that my beta would bring. I kept remembering Max's words. — If you don't love that girl, why can't you just leave her alone? She is young and I am sure she will find her partner soon. What will you do when that time comes? But she had already found her partner: it was me. She was a commoner, an omega wolf, a simple servant, while I descended from a long line of l

She approached me trying to reassure me.- No! — I countered. — He never cared and he never will. I have to get out of here on my own, Rhea. I need to escape.AaronI opened my eyes and saw myself lying on my bed.- Like me...? — I murmured.Then it all came back. All those horrible memories, everything I had seen through the mating connection.I held my head in agony, remembering the pain I felt my partner go through.— Chloe... — I mumbled.The door opened and my gamma entered.“You're finally awake,” Remus commented.— How long have I been unconscious?— About three hours ago.- What?! — I jumped out of bed, but lost my balance, feeling nauseated. Remus caught me in time and carried me back to the bed.— Wow, sir, take it easy. - he said. — We have already sent the troops. Beta Max is leading them.— Max we

Chloe I lay down on the floor next to the dungeon door. My eyes grew heavy as I looked at the doorknob. I could feel my life slipping out of my body. I heard voices on the other side of the door and tried to clap, but my arms felt as heavy as lead. “He-help,” I tried to scream, but my voice was little more than a whisper. The door opened and I felt someone kneel beside me. My vision was blurry. I couldn't see who it was. —Chloe! — I recognized the voice. It was Max. — Chloe, hold on! Hold tight! - he told me. - Doctor! Someone call a doctor here! We found her! I heard more footsteps approaching, but I couldn't identify who they were. —She's seriously injured, beta. I don't know if it will survive. — said someone. My eyes were closing. I couldn't keep them open any longer. —Chloe! Open your eyes! — I heard Max shouting at me, but I couldn't open them. I just wanted to sleep. My body ached all over and I felt exhausted. I just wanted to rest... —Chloe! Chloe! Silence and

Chloe— Max, you don't have to do this. I'm perfectly capable of cutting my own apples. — he said to the beta, who was clumsily cutting the poor, innocent piece of fruit.— You are the patient and you are sick. I can handle it. — he said, continuing to butcher the apple.We heard a knock on the door. Max let out a frustrated sigh.Rhea lifted her head into my subconscious, one ear cocked in the air. She sniffed, then jumped up excitedly.— Cronus! Cronnos is here! — she jumped with excitement.Max handed the apple slices to me and headed for the door. When he opened it, Aaron was on the other side.— What do you want, alpha? — Max growled at him. I was surprised by the hostility in his voice.— Can I have a word with Chloe? — he said to Max in a calm but authoritative voice.— Whatever you have to say to her, you can talk to me here, because I'm not moving

CHLOE I 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 c

He got up from his desk and walked around, stopping right in front of me.“I am the alpha. I had to be the one to tell the village, before they heard it somewhere else. How do you think they would react to hearing news of another pack?”He spoke nonchalantly, using his most stoic expression where the gentle alpha who asked for my forgiveness in the night was.Last? I knew it was all an act to make me give in“I don't care if you're the king of the werewolves. Aaron. I said I didn't want to be your partner. Why don’t you just reject me so we can both get on with our lives?”I shook my head in anguish, then suddenly I felt a warm, gentle hand caress my face, forcing me to look up.“Chloe, I don’t want us to fight anymore.Please. Don’t push me away Let me make it up to you.”He spoke so sweetly that I felt like I would melt in his arms, but I had to stay strong.I could
