Lucas's POV It's been a week and there is no sign of her, I feel so lost. I can't sense her, we never finished marking one another, I wonder if she can feel me, feel how worried I am about her. "Lucas" I snapped back to reality, lifted my head and saw Austen, my mother, father, Cole, Finn, and even Anabel standing around me, I didn't even hear them come into the room, every eye on me looking at me with sympathy, I felt pathetic and useless. We have searched everyone within a 200 mile radius and nothing, even her scent was gone. I had rushed down and out the back after hearing our bedroom window smash, Chloe's heart racing and felt pain. I got there and she was already gone! How could she disappear that fast? It wasn't possible, she had to have been hurt from that fall. Her scent was there at the fall point, scattered glass shards everywhere along with blood, but then her scent just disappeared, no trail of her scent, absolutely nothing. How can she just vanish without
Chloe's POV I have no idea how long I have actually been here, I'm brought meals multiple times a day, I can't see if it's even light outside, I haven't left this room since they brought me in. Alaric comes and goes and so does Sydney with food and forcing me to bathe myself. I'm sick of being here, alone, I've never felt so alone. No Callie, or Lucas, Austen, David, Cole, Finn, Laurie, Claire... My head feels empty, like a dark hole that never ends, Callie has been with me since I was 15 years old and now she's just gone, granted I didn't realize she wasn't just my own subconscious for the first 2 years but she was still there. 'Callie, I really miss you' it's like it just echos in there, then no response as usual. I wonder if she can hear me and I just can't connect to her, is she screaming to me trying to get my attention or is she lost in the dark, sleeping away without realizing she's gone? "UGH! I hate it here!" Suddenly the door opened and there he was, his scent swirling aroun
Alaric's POV What the fuck just came over me!? I can't believe I let that happen, I showed her a side of me no one sees, I couldn't contain myself, stay angry, looking intonher eyes something happened, I let my feelings come to the front, the me before the Beast, that can't happen until I get her where I want her. It's hard to look at her, see her emotions, she was compliant today, coming to me when I called no fighting with me, she was still a smart ass but no reluctance in her step, she cleaned me without fear, stripped naked without complaint. She treated me, differently, almost without hate, her eyes were locked onto mine, the anger wasn't there, it was different this time but I don't know why. Did she like it? Like being treated that way? Me not forcing her, just gently taking her? I need to know.Walking to my office I called for Aria to come see me. "Yes your highness" she lowered her head in a bow then looked over to me "I want you to put a silver cuff on Chloe
Chloe's POV Sydney brought me some dinner tonight, she was very aggressive, she threw my tray down knocking off most of the food on the floor, she had some clothes tucked under her arm that she just dropped onto the floor, glared at me them left abruptly without speaking to me at all. It was strange, but then again so was she, it's not like she was ever exactly cheerful or nice towards me but this was different, like I pissed her off. Oh well, I ate what was left on the tray, it wasn't much but something was better than nothing right, beggars can't be chosers. I was sitting on the chair in the corner when the door opened again, I flinched because it was way to early for someone to be coming in, I looked up to see someone new. She was quite beautiful, long black wavy hair, almost to her but, these breathtaking amber eyes with swirls of green in them, petite and pale, must be another vampire. She walked over to me, knelt down in front of me, looked up to me "I need
Chloe's POV When Alaric walked into the bathroom I wasn't sure what to dow the myself so I walked to the foot of the bed and sat down 'Why is he in here!?' 'This is his room Callie, he has us stay in here, I don't leave this room, I sleep, eat and bathe in this room, I am his' 'What the fuck do you mean you are his? We are Lucas's, you marked Lucas!' 'Yes Callie I did, but he didn't mark us, we are unmarked, Alaric is the Lycan King and if you would calm yourself down you would notice something different about him, how we are drawn to him, no matter how much I have fought it, something is there, his scent is so intoxicating, more than Lucas's ever was. You need to calm yourself, take a deep breath and relax please. Feel your environment without the judgment, please' I could feel her anger as I spoke but I want her to feel what I have felt since the first moment I could smell him, not even see him, just catching his scent around me, something was able to do without her.
Alaric's POV Chloe is being so very different with me today, I feel so guilty over choking her against the wall, I didn't even think about how her wolf was going to act when she finally came forward. I should have known it wasn't Chloe but I always let my anger have full control, act first think about it later. I came back from the bathroom, just got up, got me some clothes the carried them to me before climbing up into bed. I was shocked to say the least, I got dressed then walked to the bed to get in when she pulled the blankets back for me, again, shock, not knowing what to think or how to feel. When she told me about Sydney, the way she acted it upset me, the thought of her hurting Chloe made me see red yet Chloe didn't seem angry about it she just matter of fact told me what happened as well as telling me how Aria was, that she likes her.Chloe sat forward to look at me, I could feel my self letting my walls fall down as she looked into my eyes, she looks to me with curiosity, a
Chloe's POV 'What the hell Chloe? That was the most intense feeling, it completely washed over us, it felt like when we were intimate with Lucas but much stronger, so much stronger.' 'I know, like I gives us more energy, diesnt drain us, it's primal and the most amazing feeling I have ever felt. It's him tho, he brings it out of us, you may not like him right now but the way he makes me feel inside is even more intoxicating than his scent' Callie was doing flips in my head, she's itching to run off this extreme energy that's building up in us but we can't so I need to think of another way to burn some off."How about that shower now? I will clean you, from head to toe if you want" Yes more of him would definitely work, if he has it in him of course, and something tells me he does. "You want to clean me now?" He cocked his head while asking "I mean I'm perfectly fine with you walking around with my scent masking yours at its entirety but I could always do that again for
Alaric's POV She missed me today, I stayed away all day after last night, if she heard me say I lived her she didn't let on, I doubt she heard me, she was sleeping already. I have no idea what came over me to even say that out loud, she does something to me, she makes me feel things I've never felt before. Now she's laying on my chest, trailing her fingers through every line on my chest down to the top of my boxers. She slowly stopped as her hand fell, her breathing evened, I knew she was sleeping. I brushed her hair from her face looking down at her, those perfectly long black eyelashes resting on her face, her flawless complexion, I trailed my fingers down her arm to her finger tips, they twitched as I touched them, her hand turned to hold onto mine. Who is this girl? How does she bring out this other side of me? I finally fell asleep, one arm wrapped around her body the other holding her hand.When I woke in the morning she was turned away from me as I was behi
