Chapter 195Chloe’s POV. We all surrounded the white table while Bryan cut out the piece of cloth, the one they had ordered for mating. I had asked Bryan countless times who the cloth belonged to, but he had told me the owner wanted to keep their identity secret. I had stopped asking, not wanting to come across as clingy. Time had already flown by, and it was getting darker, but we were determined to cut out the cloth before heading home.My heart raced with the thought of my mom's burial anniversary coming up. I was torn between attending and staying away, not wanting to cause a scene knowing I wasn't appreciated in the family. Even though I knew going there was the best option, I still felt uncertain. My mind was a jumble of emotions, thoughts swirling around like a vortex, making it hard to focus on the task at hand.Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder, jolting me awake from my deep thoughts. I wiggled my head and straightened up my neck, then realized it was Emma. I shifted my
Chapter 196 Author’s POV. Alpha Jax was in his domain, his eyes blazing fire. His body was getting better, and he could now walk without stress, but sometimes he felt a lingering pain. He had tried his best to find Chloe, but to no avail. Just yesterday, his new beta had told him he saw someone who looked exactly like Ryan. Alpha Jax didn't want to believe it, thinking maybe his beta didn't know Ryan well enough. But his beta had known Ryan for a long time, since they lived in the same pack. His mind raced with how to confirm if what his beta said was true. He thought about sending his beta to gather more information, but he was afraid of putting him in danger. He knew the alpha of MayHill pack, Liam, was ruthless and wouldn't hesitate to hurt anyone who got in his way. Jax paced back and forth in his room, trying to come up with a plan. He wanted to go to MayHill pack himself, but couldn't, since the alpha had banished His man with a warning: "If I see you again, I'll slit your
Chapter 197Chloe’s POV. As I got dressed for work, Lucy was still fast asleep. I considered waking her up, but she seemed distant lately, and I wasn't sure how to approach her. recently, she had been cold and distant. I didn't know what was bothering her, and I didn't know how to bridge the gap that had grown between us. I sighed and decided to let her sleep, hoping that she would come around eventually.My mind wandered back to the previous day when Bryan shared the painful story behind his phobia. He had confided in me about the traumatic experience in high school, where he lost his best friend to bullying. The memory of his tears and his vulnerability still lingered in my mind. I felt a pang of empathy for him, remembering how he had opened up to me, trusting me with his secret. I finished applying my makeup, my thoughts still on Bryan and his story.I walked over to Lucy on the bed and gently tapped her shoulder twice. She opened her eyes slowly. “I’m going to shop now,” I said
Chapter 198Chloe’s pov. After the kiss with Bryan, I hadn’t gotten myself together yet. I couldn’t get the reason why he kissed me out of my head. I was on the machine, joining the last pieces of the last cloth, but my mind wasn’t there. My mind was still reeling from what Bryan said earlier. I asked him why he had kissed me, and he told me he loved me, which I couldn’t believe. He always scolded me, always showing me his wrath, so why would he claim to love me?Someone tapped my shoulder, and I mistakenly set my hands on the needles, causing them to match and throw my fingers into a bloody mess. I screamed on seeing it, my body shaking as I used my second hand to hold the hand with the needles stuck in it.“What the heck!” Jake screamed, running towards me and holding my hands to take a proper look. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I just wanted to notify you that you’re making a mistake with your sewing.” Sarah covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock. My eyes darted
Chapter 199 Chloe’s pov. As I watched, Liam walked into the store with Luke by his side, a bright smile spreading across his face. I tried to speak, but my voice caught in my throat. Bryan emerged from his office, a look of excitement on his face."Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to our special guest," Bryan announced, his eyes shining with pride. "Liam, the owner of the very cloth we're standing on!."My eyes widened in shock as Liam greeted us, his eyes locking onto mine with a hint of familiarity. Bryan ushered him into his office, leaving me stunned and confused.Sarah turned to me, her voice low. "do you know who he is?" she asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.I shook my head, still trying to process what was happening. How could Liam be the owner of the cloth? I had no idea.Emma chimed in, her eyes curious. "Where did you know him from?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. How could I explain my connection with Liam? I d
Chapter 200 Chloe’s POV. I trudged through the door, exhausted from the drama-filled day at work. Lucy followed close behind, her eyes fixed on me with concern.“I know today was tough, but I think you should come with me to your mom's memorial service," Lucy said, her voice soft and persuasive."No way. I'm not going."I collapsed onto the couch, shaking my head. Lucy sat down beside me, her hand on my arm. "I understand the way you are feeling but you need to confront your feelings and go to your mum's burial” she spoke gently and I wondered what had changed about her. In the morning she seems so cold so why the character now? I shook my head pulling my arm away from her grip, my eyes welling up with tears. "I wish you could understand me better. You know today isn’t Mum's burial. It’s in two weeks to come. Going to celebrate with them is like betraying my mum also”’ my lips slipped from each other. “I know right but…..” Lucy started saying but I snapped at her. “There’s no but
Chapter 201Chloe’s POV. After the long talk with Lucy, I decided to attend my mom's memorial service. We both put on black clothes, specs, and scarves. As we walked outside, Lucy said, "Make sure you maintain your composure and don't let anyone get to you." She patted my shoulder, and I nodded in understanding.As we walked out, Bryan came outside, his eyes blinking in different colors. “Do you mind if I should drop you off? I also want to get something at the junction,” he offered.But I quickly shook my head, clearly not interested in his offer. "There's no need for that. We'll grab a taxi at the junction, and besides, where we're going is kind of far, and I won't want to stress you," I replied."Why are you lying, Chloe?" Lucy said, putting the tip of her finger to her mouth, then facing Bryan. "Don't mind her. You can drop us off."I pinched her wrist, causing her to whimper in pain. "Do you want to stress him? Can't you tell from his look that he's already tired and needs a lot
Chapter 202 Chloe’s POV. I was surprised and couldn't contain my anger as everyone agreed to what the priest said. How can they be so blinded? Is it a must to be at the mating before they believe I'm happy? Truly, I know I feel hurt by the thought of my mate mating with my sister, but what can I do? The least I can do is walk far away from them, but why do they decide to torment me with the idea of living with them till Mendy's mating day? I have refused to stay, but they told me if I didn't stay, it means I'm not happy with the mating. I wanted to tell them to believe whatever they want to believe, but I realized it would spoil something more. I told them at least to let me go home and pack my clothes, but they've refused. I wonder what they are planning. I walked inside my room, falling down on the bed, and Lucy sat beside me. "I told you my gut feeling didn't want to come here. See what's happening now?" I lamented angrily. "I'm surprised, I don't know such a thing will hap
Epilogue. Three years later. I stood in front of all the people that made mockery of me in the last few years and I came up with an idea that was going to yield a greater impact than whatever they decided to dump on me. It was going to take a long time before I finally gave up because now there was a reason for me to become Luna.Firstly, my eyes roamed about the crowd that had gathered one way or the other and I felt immensely proud of myself and my achievements. I had not wasted any time in making sure that this was completed and this made me very interested in whatever I could get. My eyes rested on my family which had come together after the first issue."Today we gathered together as a pack and celebrated the fact that we have only one person in our midst who has been wonderful through the beginning of time. We must have wronged her but she had never used this opportunity against us!" A moderator spoke on the platform, making me smile a little bit. Everyone's gaze was fille
Chapter 140.Author's POV.Liam didn't waste time to inform Mendy that there were a lot of things for them to do and they needed to do it as fast as possible. The only way they would be able to make a difference because if they were able to push Chloe away.Mendy hugged him tightly, planting a small kiss on his lips as everything she had ever wished for was falling into place in her very eyes. "If anyone had told me that I was going to experience this, I would never have believed it but, here I am with the most amazing man, who doesn't hesitate to do whatever I want. I think I'm the luckiest woman on Earth." Liam's feet tapped the ground in anger but he refused to allow himself to be mad at her. "Yeah, right." Scott and Ryan were already doing their thing, and it was up to him to have them get more answers. "So what do you want us to do? Do you want me to bring the kids over again or to kick Chloe out?" He asked in a somewhat weird voice. This was enough to sell the script that
Chapter 139. Author's POV. At Jax's pack, Jax walked out of his room with his head held high as he thought of the best way to humiliate the woman who had tried to make his life miserable. She had proven to be stubborn and he was going to love it when he broke her into pieces and made her forget the fact that she ever wanted to leave him. It was going to take a lot of mental stress, but what better way than to discover somebody who had wasted her time trying to fight for us, something that even she didn't understand. It was hard to say the least at least from the beginning but now that he had the upper hand, he was going to make it into whatever you wanted and hoped that she wouldn't come against him. "I hope you know that it's my birthday and you have to dance before everybody." He asked. Chloe looked up from the book she was reading. He had been kind enough to allow her access to books so that she wouldn't be bored out of her mind. He had claimed that this was the be
Chapter 138. Liam's POV. I jumped out of bed almost immediately as though somebody had pinched me. I looked around and found myself being alone in a room, wondering what the hell had happened and why I couldn't explain to anyone how I had felt. It was almost like I was telling a lie but I knew deep down that it wasn't. This was as real as possible. Something had changed inside of me. I looked at the teacup on my bed and smelt something weird. I picked it up immediately, inspecting the contents, and realizing it was just normal coffee, but something was highly different. The door opened immediately and I saw Bryan come in without my permission. "How are you feeling today?""When did you start being nice to me?" I demanded from him. "I think it has started to work and that's why you are trying to grasp why everything is upside down." "I still do not understand what you are talking about. I would love more context so that I have a perfect idea." I answered, a little bit worried
Chapter 137.Author's POV. One month later, Ryan and Lucy stood in front of the table in Liam's office this time fixated on him as they looked up and down coming up with nothing else but anger."What is the report from the people back there?""Everyone says that they have not been able to find her. In fact her scent is highly untraceable as everybody believes that she has probably decided to shield herself from the public. Are you sure she has been talking or this is just a way of getting her sanity back?" Lucy asked, a little worried but thinking of other possibilities. Chloe was a woman of many skills and sometimes she could deserve to come up with something but they wouldn't be able to comprehend. If that was the case, then they needed to be as careful as possible and not just Rush into conclusions like that. Liam came in just as they were having the conversation and was a little bit stifled even though he couldn't just ask how things had been going because of the bad relation
Chapter 136.Chloe's POV. Two weeks later, "There is only one place that I know that Mendy would never fail to take those kids to and that is back to Jax pack." Ryan's words rang in my head. It wasn't as simple as that because then I had so much to prove and I hoped that I was able to bring him back on track. I walked into a place that was formerly mine and my mouth fell wide open as I saw Sophia leaning on Jax's body stroking his chin softly. "What the hell is going on here?" I demanded angrily when I saw the way she continued even in my very presence without feeling like she had done something wrong. Sophia stood reluctantly, "I don't know why you are screaming. This is not your jurisdiction where you can do whatever you like so I would suggest that you tame your voice." My eyes widened at the second betrayal that I had received in the last few weeks. Why did everyone I trust turn on me so badly and make me feel like a fool? "You are not even sorry about your actions!" "Th
Chapter 135:Chloe's POV. After my brother collapsed on the ground, I had absolutely no choice but to think of what could be done next to ensure that I had everything back on track. Bryan attended a meeting that was supposed to help assist us on knowing how exactly to deal with my brother's case. Things were already getting out of hand and I didn't know how to handle it. Most importantly, I felt a little bit weird inside my bones as I was left with nothing but people just conversing and making mockery of me as I walked around the pack where I was once respected but now disgraced. My kids were still nowhere to be found and I felt like running mad but decided to hold myself together because if I did let myself go, how on earth was I supposed to get them back? That would simply be allowing Mendy to win and that was the last thing on my mind right now. All I needed was the faith that I was going to be able to overcome this without even batting an eyelid. "So, if I understand correc
134.Author's POV. Mehndi shook her head immediately when she heard those words come out of her younger sister's mouth. Of course, she was going to act like she was powerful, but she knew deep down that this lady feared for her life, and that was exactly what she was about to capitalize on. Her sister would never have the Liberty to move around and to do whatever it is that it took unless it was time and that she gave the permission. "Have you any idea what it means, to lose everything that you have ever worked for? Do you know how problematic your world turns?" Aria asked Mendy whose mind was completely somewhere else and didn't even care for whatever the child must have been feeling. In her mind, she couldn't wait for the kids to realize that she didn't love them and put them under her bondage forever. "You shouldn't disturb me when I'm trying to meditate. You, of all people, know that, don't you?!" She snapped at them, making them recoil in shock. This was the first time that
133.Chloe's POV. I was a little bit worried for my brother who had been doing a lot of work behind the scenes and had not been receiving any glory whatsoever. If there was anybody that I wanted to praise right now in my life, it had to be him, and I wasn't even ready to do anything besides just relax and wait and see what could be done. I had more than enough reason to be afraid when he grabbed the railing and immediately began to tremble like he had been struck by lightning. Someone else might think that I was exaggerating, but that was how I felt at that moment. I had more than enough reason to also fear my life when he came close to me and looked like he was about to give the ghost. My brother was the most precious thing in my life right now and I didn't think that I was going to change that for the world. I have more than enough reason to also relax and hope that the best came to me but I knew deep down that he was trying his best just to make sure that I enjoyed the fines
