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
A WEAK SLAVE 38
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

AARON I thought you were going to win our partner back, idiot. So far, you've only failed, Cronnos muttered as I walked away from Chloe's house. Shut up, you bag of fleas. I wanted to see her so much. I came with a bouquet of roses from my mother's garden, hoping she would let me in But she just ignored me and left me there So I decided to put the roses on her doormat and leave Even though I wanted to break down the door to see my partner, I decided to leave. I couldn't force her to see me. I couldn't do this to her. If I wanted her to take me back, I had to do things right this time. I found my gamma, who was waiting for me at the village gates. He bowed when he saw me approaching. “Alpha Aaron, are you sure you want to venture that far for this?” asked Remus. “I need to find more answers about her past.” Answered “How long do you plan to be gone?” “I'm going to be gone for a few days. Max will be in charge, but you will help him with whatever he needs. I don't want cle or the

The next day, I ran back to the pack house with the book under my arm, looking for Remus. I ran into Aspen on the way and she told me he was in the alpha's office, so I marched straight to it. I knocked once before going in. I knew Aaron wasn't there, so I was able to relax. “Remus, I need to talk to you…” I said as I walked into the office, shouting without thinking. I came face to face with the perplexed looks of Max and the elders. Remus looked at me with his usual vacant expression, “Chloe, are you okay?” Max asked, standing up from his desk. I blushed, embarrassed by the way I walked in without think . "Hey, Max. Yeah. I'm fine." “Lady Chloe. What a pleasant surprise Have you finally decided to return to the pack home?” Elder Leto asked me “No. I'm never going back here. I just need to have a word with range Remus”, I said sternly to the old man, who sighed in anguish “If you wish, you can wait for me in the library”. Remus said. I just nodded and left the room, I went down

CHLOE To say I was angry was an understatement, I was pissed off. Why is Aaron so interested in making my life miserable? I don't want to be near him. Oh come on, it can't be that bad. Besides, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't know where to start to get answers about your mother and what's happening to us, Rhea said as we headed home. Yes, but that doesn't mean he should come along. I murmured. I opened the door and went up the stairs to my room. I needed to lie down and take a nap. Since the night of the purple flames, I couldn't sleep. Sleep almost took over when the doorbell rang, “Holy shit.” I forced myself to get out of bed, went downstairs and opened the door. “What?” I growled, but I regretted it the moment I saw Max, Remus and Aspen at my door. “O-**, someone’s grumpy,” Aspen giggled She and Max looked at me like I had a second head “Sorry, guys I had a long morning. What brings you here?” I asked, letting them in. “We saw you leave the mansion furious and we were wo

CHLOE I spent the next few hours in my room until I felt hungry. I decided to go to the dining car to see if I could eat something. I took the book of the descendants of the Moon with me. It has become an extension of my arm since the day I read it for the first time. I peered down the hall first, making sure Aaron was still in his room. When I was sure the coast was clear, I walked quickly down the corridor and straight to the door that led to the next car. Once I arrived at the cafeteria, I discovered that it was almost empty. After all, it was after ten Most of the passengers were locked in their rooms, sleeping Fortunately, the service continued until eleven, so I went to the buffet and got a bowl of hot soup and some bread I looked around and saw a lonely table in the opposite corner of the car. I took a sip of the soup, opened the book and continued where I left off. “That’s an interesting book you have there, young lady.” A strange male voice suddenly broke my concentration.

In addition to the sofas, there was a large window that looked out onto the forest. “It’s beautiful, Alpha Magnar,” I said to the copper-haired man. “Is Aaron’s room also located in this hallway?” I asked, hoping he would stay away from my room. "Drop it. I'm not one of those guys who doesn't expect you to have a little intimacy. This is the 21st century. You will sleep here together.” He laughed as he spoke, but I couldn't help but panic, Aaron and cu... sharing a room, a bed? “Um, actually, I prefer…” I started to say, but Alfa Magnar cut me off. “No need to thank me, darling Just make sure you don’t wake up the whole house.” He winked, laughing once more as he walked away, leaving me to my horrible fate. Needless to say, Rhea was happy, jumping and singing. Let's sleep with our partner! I turned around and saw that Aaron had already entered the room. I slowly walked in too and saw him looking out the window. This wasn't going as I planned. The last thing I wanted to do was s
