Chapter- 6

Marcus's POV

I like the attention she gives to me while I train and she's so pretty this morning. It's so hard for me to take my gaze off her and concentrate on the drill.

When I look at her, she's talking to Karen. From the look on her face, I can understand they weren't having a friendly conversation. When I asserted my ears close to their conversation. I hear her say, homeless girl.

I am so pissed off to hear that. How can she be so mean to Chloe?

I hate Karen. She's obsessed with me. After seeing me and Chloe yesterday, she kept giving me this jealous look which I didn't care about. I never liked Karen in the way she wanted, I just pitied her but now I hate her for what she's doing. I can bear her flirting with me, crossing the line sometimes, and following me to all places I go. She's the most annoying person I have ever seen in my life; she kind of wants to know everything about me but she couldn't succeed.

Karen thought I wouldn't find my mate and I would ask her to marry her because she thinks she's the only talented woman in this whole world and the perfect match for me. But she's so wrong and that's the reason she's extremely jealous right now.

But she went too far this time, she called my mate homeless, how dare she say that when she was once homeless too. When Karen was thirteen she and her mother came to my father and begged to take them in the pack. He pitied them so they got a place but now she acts as if she's royal and owns this entire place.

I hate people who aren't grateful and taunt the weakling. It's enough that I forgave her for so long. After bullying Chloe, I can't be silent anymore, I lost all the pity I had for her.

I'd be angry if she called anyone that, but she bullied Chloe because of me, her one-sided feelings for me is the reason.

I went there after the first drill and intervened when Karen was about to say that she was going to marry me. I coldly asked her not to stay away from them and I don't know how far she was going to do.

These days, she isn't taking my orders seriously. If she's going to be like this, then I would show her what I am capable of, which she will regret forever.

When everyone was training, I was extra strict today. I don't know why I am doing this, is this because I am trying to impress Chloe, no! I am just pissed off right now because what if Chloe thought something was going on between me and Karen. Then our distance would grow even more and I can't let that happen.

Chloe is already looking at me, I can feel that on my skin but her attention isn't enough for me. I want more from her. I don't know how I am going to ask that? Today I am going to invite her to my home and tell her the truth.

While they are handling weapons, Karen took the daggers and aimed at the mannequin just a few feet away from Chloe. She never used that before and the way she was aiming made me anxious. Just as I feared, splitting the air, the blades were going towards Chloe and she stood there, stunned.

Whether this is accidental or not, I am not going to forgive Karen. I shifted immediately to run faster and save her. But as I stepped, the bright white dazzled in the sunlight. Squinting my eyes, my steps paused to see Chloe in her wolf form.

I am astonished to know that she's a silver wolf, a rare breed and blessed by the moon goddess. She must be my Luna. I froze in the place where I stood and Chloe quickly evaded the daggers.

Her eyes were on me and I am glad to know who she is. I don't know what was going on in her mind but in my eyes, she looked powerful but also vulnerable. Her clothes were shredded into pieces and I know she would be naked if she shifts back to human form.

Her gaze moved towards Karen and left an angry growl. I shifted back to my human self and handed her a towel. She grabbed it in her mouth and ran away from this place. I let her go, I didn't follow her, she'd been mistreated on her first day and I feel so bad. Among all of this, I am so pissed off at Karen.

"You're detained for two months, don't come to the drill or don't show your face to me," I said and ended the training for today. Karen looked upset but still, she didn't have any remorse.

I made my way to the packhouse. Mark, who's so curious about my actions, followed me eagerly to know the answers.

"It was quite a drama," he commented and I glared at him.

"Enlighten me, Alpha Marcus," he chuckled and we came to the entrance of our house.

"She's my mate," I confessed, loudly.

"Chloe?"

"Yes, she's a silver wolf, she's my Luna. The one that's destined for me," I smiled.

"Wow," Mark grinned.

"Have you realized it now?"

"No. I found out that she's my mate when I saw her at the ball but I got to know that she's a silver wolf today. It's quite surprising,"

"Didn't you sense her silver wolf,"

"I felt weird but I was too engrossed in other things,"

"Have you said that you're her mate?"

"No, not yet,"

"Why?" Mark frowns.

"Because it's not quite easy for me and she kept avoiding me. Now it has turned even more difficult,"

"Why? There's no way she's going to reject you," Mark was confident when he said that.

"I know but what if she does. She might think I am after her because she's a silver wolf,"

"Is that true?"

"No, I like her the moment I saw her,"

Mark laughed. "Then what's your fucking problem? Just go and ask her,"

Seeing my silence, Mark remarked, "I thought you're the most imperturbable person I have ever seen but in this matter, you surprise me by your dumbness,"

"You know my life is different. I can't make decisions so easily as you say,"

Mark huffed.

"You know what, I already know that she's a silver wolf. My mate Lily, told me everything last night. In my opinion, Chloe is just like you, if you want to be with her, you need to take a step forward,"

"What am I supposed to do now?" I ask.

"Stop contemplating like this. Go and talk to her," Mark suggested.

"Chloe knows that I am her mate but she refuses to acknowledge that. I don't know why? Will she believe my feelings were genuine after today's drama? Will she accept me as her mate? What if she takes this all wrong?"

I grit my teeth in frustration, "What should I do? Should I kneel in front of her because I am a coward and couldn't protect his mate?"

Mark laughed out loud seeing me like this for the first time.

"Oh God, Marcus! If you want to know the answers, ask Chloe,"

"Yes, I am going to ask her,"

"Chloe, please tell him what you think," Mark said looking at the door side. I turned my head to see Chloe standing there. Her innocent eyes were glued to me. Her face looked dull.

She must have heard everything I said out of frustration.

Crap! This is so fucked up.
