CHLOE'S POV:“What do you want from us, mister stranger?” I spoke as the two men came into the hut where I and Abigail stayed and stared at us before focusing more on Abigail.“I guess you must have missed the road, and this place isn't the right place for you to be. This place isn't a path to follow; this is my little home." Abigail spoke up while looking at the two men staring at her with no iota of fear in her voice.The two men, who were clothed in black attire that covered their heads until their toes, exchanged glances, a silent communication passing between them. It was unnerving the way they synchronized without uttering a single word.As they approached Abigail, their movements were calculated, and I could sense an ominous energy surrounding them.Without warning, they reached Abigail and seized her hands, their grip firm. I tensed, ready to intervene, but Abigail remained surprisingly composed. "Release me," she commanded, her tone unwavering.The strangers ignored her deman
LIAM’S POV.“Mendy! Mendy! Where are you?’ I continuously called her out as I went outside the compound of my house. I searched the backyard to check if she was in there,but to my utmost surprise, she wasn’t there at all.I kept searching every corner of the house to check if she dropped any letters at all before heading outside of the house. I searched carefully without any limiting factor weighing me down."I hope she hasn't gone to attack Chloe. I hope she isn’t planning to do anything dangerous that could tarnish my image in the pack." I spoke to my inner child as I flooded my mind with different thoughts.I pushed the door of my sitting room open and went to go make coffee to start my day properly before I heard footsteps coming from the end of the door. I turned and saw Mendy with some luggage on her back and on her hand. From the look of things, she looked very distressed and palpable as she stood at the entrance of the door.I dropped the glass cup of coffee I had in my hands
CHLOE'S POVThe blood of Abigail splashed on my face as I tried to pull her down from the thread where she was hanged, but I was unfortunate to pull her down, for before I got to hold her legs, the guards used her as their aiming targets.Guilt washed over my face as I saw the only girl who picked me and saw me as her confidant was murdered right in front of my eyes. It was unbelievable to see an innocent witch go extinct just because of one's useless culture and traditions.He walks up to me and squats right before my sight as he watches me mourn over my friend, whom I just lost.“This isn't the end of you; you just have to brace up and get over everything. Besides, you have a long way to go, starting from now on." He spoke without any guilt in his voice.With the way he spoke, someone would have thought that he was a saint in this scene. He didn't even feel remorseful for a second, not to mention an iota of anguish in his voice.“What else do you want from me? Do you want to kill me
CHLOE’S POV“Was I drunk when I told you to enter my pack?” He questioned me, turning around to look at my face.“No! Not at all. I replied with a shaky voice while trying to hide my face from his.“Then! Pack your things, that is, if you bought anything for my pack.” He ordered with a fierce voice.Without any hesitation, I followed his lead and went into his packs. As I entered, almost everyone was murmuring with their fellow mates and their fellow people in the packs, wondering who I was.“Who is she? What exactly is she doing in this pack?” One of the wolves spoke in a lower tone as she looked at me with a disgusted look.“What if she is the one betrothed to Alpha Jax? Or, what if she wants to come and snatch our one and only handsome Alpha Jax away from us?” Another one spoke, as she was scared of losing her crush to another woman.Ignoring the speculative glances and whispers, I focused on the task at hand—packing my belongings. The small room assigned to me felt both foreign an
CHLOE’S POV“Yes! You heard me, right? Starting tomorrow, you’ll resume your duty as my personal maid.” He instructed as he passed the message across to his other peers.“What about the former maid?” I asked because I didn't want to be tagged as someone who made her fellow gender be removed from her job.“Is that piece of information necessary?” He asked as he looked into my eyeballs, trying to detect my current state."Well…"—I cleared my throat before proceeding. “It is necessary because I don't want to be tagged as a bad person who only cares about her own well-being without considering others."Since you really want to know just to clear your intentions, the former maid has been demoted. She didn’t beat up my expectations, so I had to do the needful.”“Does that also apply to me?” I questioned him.He looked at me, trying to understand the question I asked him:"I apply to you in what way, May?”I took a deep breath, steadying myself before responding, “Do I risk being demoted if I
LIAM POV“Listen to me, Mendy; Chloe has no choice but to come back to her pack. Don’t you know that we are the ones that treat her like family?" I said this to her while trying to make her smile a bit."But what if..."I made use of my hands to block the remaining words that were about to come out of her mouth. I sealed it with a kiss and looked into her eyes.“Mendy, there is no what-if. I am Liam, and I know the tactics I’ll use on Chloe to bring her back. You don’t have to be bothered about that at all.” I assured her as I sealed her lips again with a soft kiss.I packed her bags and luggage as I took her upstairs to our room. We spent our evening downstairs, talking about how she can make amends with her sister, while I was engrossed with the activities of tomorrow, looking for Chloe in the May Hill Pack.The evening was so warm that I and Mendy didn’t make out at all. We got carried away with our sweet cuddles. With the little information I have gathered from my little stay and the r
Chloe’s POV"Alpha Jax, what happened?" I asked, rushing to his side.As I reached him, I fell to my knees, my hands grabbing his arms. His body was burning up, yet he was shivering like a soul trapped inside a freezer."Alpha Jax," I murmured, frantically thinking of a way to save him. Did I even know the nature of his sickness?His face looked pale, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were shut tight. It seemed like he was about to have a seizure at any moment.I couldn't let him die. If Alpha Jax died now, everything would go bankrupt. I pleaded, "Please wake up, open your eyes," tears welling up in my eyes. I couldn't afford to lose him.I touched the blanket covering his body, and it was as if the cloth was soaked through, feeling damp and cold."What’s happening? I can’t even think of a way to cure his sickness. His body is hot, but he's shaking with cold, and the blanket he used was wet with his own sweat.My mind is racing as I search for a way to bring him back to normal. I
Chloe’s POV His words kept ringing in my head, how the hell would he tell me to get out of his room after treating him? If not for me, he would’ve still been lying down lifeless, or probably he would’ve died by now. “Are you telling me to get out of your room?” I repeated and he wiggled his head in approval. As I keep glaring at him dangerously my heart limps my flesh and the regression of saving him Tear me apart. “Yes I mean it, so stand up and get out” he repeated and I stood furiously storming out of his room to mine. On walking there my eyes fixed on space while my mind thought of a way to get back at him. How dare he Send me out of his room after giving him a full treatment? If not for me he would’ve been miserable by now. “He’s so ungrateful after treating him he can only send me out of his room” I scoffed finally getting to my room and I banged the door loudly. Falling heavily on the bed while a loud groan escaped my mouth. My mind pinpointed the injury on my legs and
