Chloe's POV After we ate dinner together the other night Alaric has been distant with me. I don't understand why, things seemed really good for a while there, I was actually happy. I'd made friends, started socializing with the many different pack members that were here. It's crazy how this pack has so many different species living together happily. my best friend here is Aria, she's a vampire! I never thought they even existed, I mean I never thought werewolves did either, all just fairytales and legends. I love being here, it's much different than with Lucas, there I still felt more like a prisoner, never able to really go out, spent all my time in the pack house, with him mostly, whereas here, I am a prisoner, can't shift, but I feel more free here. The next three weeks went by in a blur. Alaric seemed to be working more, hardly around, even when he was it was like he was living inside his own head, not talky her with me. We sleep in the same bed but he feels dis
Chloe's POV 'What do I do Chloe? Do you go to them? We are a part of their pack, we marked Lucas, I want to stay with Alaric though, mark him' 'Shift me back! NOW!' we shifted back instantly, Alarics look of surprise was unforgettable. "If I go to them, they may stop attacking, they are hear for me" panic in my voice. 'Chloe!? Where are you? I'm coming for you my love!' Lucas was in my head suddenly sending a shiver down my spine, Goddess I missed his voice, woah, shake that out of your head girl."You would go to them because you love him too" Alaric's eyes were expressionless, back like they used to be when I first got here "I'd go to save everyone including you, them also, no one should die if I can stop it" He looked down at me anger overtaking him, that raw animalistic feeling seeping out of him, I could feel it all. He started to shift when I grabbed his hand, he stopped and turned back to himself when I jumped up on him, completely aware that I was ful
Lucas's POV We have been scouting all the areas surrounding the parts we no longer feel our wolves.For weeks I have tried to be patient, waiting to find her, hold her, kiss her all again. I can't believe it has been so long, her scent is no longer in the house or on anything she owns. I need to smell her, feel her touch, I miss those tingles, the way she touches me, the feel of her bare skin touching mine. 'Ugh oh Gage we need her' 'We will get her if I have to rip every single wolf that is around her to shreds, I want our mate now' he was pacing and growling so deep my chest was rumbling' Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to stare at me, my Alpha aura rolling off of me, when I realized I reigned it back in."Apologies, so Beta David, where are we? When are we going to be able to break through their borders?" I noticed David look over to Austen, then to Cole and Finn."Finn, Cole and Austen found a witch that will be willing to help u
Lucas's POV As I watched Endora being taken away on Finns back, I linked everyone to tell them to be careful, shift the moment you can, stalking through as quietly as possible.As we trekked through the woods, close to the paths that were laid out for about an hour we finally started to see houses coming into view. As we got closer to the town we were sensed, we heard alarms going off, then wolves appeared in front of us, they surrounded the entire town, also some creatures like the one that made its way into our home, the monster that took Chloe except now there were multiple around, weaving themselves throughout the wolves. Vampires were in the shadows, we could see their red eyes.'The vampires can't attack out in the daylight, stay clear of the shadows of possible, if they attack pull them into the light!' 'Yes Alpha' Growls were filling the air from both sides, louder and louder they became until the first attacks started. I needed to find Chloe, I didn't want her caught up in
Chloe's POV I can feel Alaric, hus emotions are overwhelming as he stares at me, he's all over the place right now, I can feel his eyes on me, lust pouring from him, love stronger than before, admiration, want, a need, a hint of worry as well. 'You saved me? I didn't want you to do that Chloe. Are you feeling okay?' I was steady staring down at myself 'I saved you because I love you, I wouldn't let him hurt you, we had to do what we did' hoping he can hear the love from me as I feel his swell.Callie was all rage right now, anger just cascading through us when she stopped, snapped her head to the side, looking at Lucas. she lowly growled at him. His eyes widened, his fear and confusion as he looked at us, well up at us, not by much but for us we've never been so tall before. I walked closer to him, bent down inhaling his scent from his neck, looking at his neck now I could see my mark on his neck, when I had marked him on my birthday I didn't get to see it heal, e
Alaric's POV That guy walking up, looking me in the eyes, without wavering, I knew he wanted to embrace her so I bit back that initial jealousy then nodded to him. He was obviously respectful unlike most would be. Then I saw him look to his Alpha, rage seeping from him but he looked back at her, embracing her in a tight hug iniwhich she returned.I knew they were speaking to one another but words weren't processing with me at the moment as I watched the moment around us all. No one on either side was moving, some slowly shifting back then putting some clothes on but they all stood in place just watching everything unfold around them.The fighting had stopped, no more blood shed. We lost a few on both sides, I felt the link break 6 times, others definitely injured. When the man hugging her finally let her go, I could tell they were still speaking, privately through mindlink, made me wonder what kind of relationship these two seemed to have. I felt myself b
Chloe's POV It's been two week living back in this house. Lucas has been giving me my space, not sleeping in my room, being respectful to my privacy. When we first got back he came right into my room to take a shower, I knew he expected me just just join him, as if nothing had changed, no time had passed, but I couldn't do it. I ended up downstairs eating, waiting for him to come find me "Where did you go? To hungry to take a shower?" He had a cocky tone that I really didn't appreciate "Yes I was hungry, but I also wasn't just ready to jump into a shower, then bed with you. Honestly I need some time, a lot just happened to us all, plus me shifting finding out I'm a Lycan, it's just a lot to process." I sighed deeply then looked to him, his eyes were dark, anger in them was apparent. "Where's Alpha Michael? I would like to see him after I clean myself up" he looked down "He's down in the cabin by the lake at the far west of our territory, he relinquished his title
Lucas's POV 'You hurt our mate! I told you not to touch that witch but you didn't listen, you blocked me out, not mate is hurt' Gage is reeling in me right now, trying to ouch forward, show her he still loves her, wants to beg her not to leave him but I am torn.I went to shower, in her shower like she asked me to do. We aren't done, she said, I don't know if I want to know where this is going.Turning on the shower, stepping in letting the heat run over my body as I scrub off Endora's scent off of me. I don't know what had come over me, since the moment I saw her she has consumed my thoughts, no matter howbhard Gage would fight against it I couldn't help myself, most times I didn't even hear him until it was to late anyway, letting those feelings take over me.I finished cleaning myself, I scrubbed myself so hard I was red, I did it twice as well. I didn't mean to hurt Chloe, I definitely wanted to get her scent off of me for her also.As I got o
