LOGINHannah’s POVThe look of Jax’s face was starting to annoy me. How could he be sleeping at a time like this?I was fighting tooth and nail to make him Alpha, trying to make Chloe look bad and drag Axel down. Yet, all Jax knew was going about his day, content in being in his brother’s shadow forever.How was he going to become Alpha like this?When he let out a particularly loud snore, I lost it and kicked his shin. His eyes snapped open instantly, a low growl slipping from his lips. I quickly disguised as though I had been asleep before stretching my hands over my head and sitting up slowly.“Baby,” I said through a fake groggy voice. “What’s wrong?”Jax calmed down, one of his charming smiles slipping onto his face. “Did I wake you? I am so sorry. I thought there was an intruder.”When he spoke so gently to me, it was easy to forgive him. This intimacy was what Chloe enjoyed in her past life. This time around, the gifts, the love, the attention, everything was mine.If only I could fi
Chloe’s POVSomehow, the news spread through the entire Everdeen that Axel wanted to go through a cinema.In reality, it should not have been that big of a deal but Axel was usually the very stoic heir completely focused on his role as Alpha. So suddenly, his wanting to relax like a normal person was news.As the gossip heightened so did the eyes watching Celestia and I. I could not count how many times I had entered a room today and the chatter instantly stopped with everyone staring at me like they were expecting me to snap and sink my claws into someone’s neck.Celestia, on the other hand, was going around with a skip in her steps, muttering under her breath. Probably her rehearsals on how she was going to ask Axel to the movie.Lunchtime came around and it was finally show time.As the entire pack filed in for lunch, Axel came down as well unlike his usual behavior to eat lunch in his office. He passed by me in the hallway, about to stop but I waved him away to go to the dining ro
Chloe’s POVI left the house through the back door to the beautiful sound of Hannah and Chloe screaming at each other.Tony and Axel were waiting for me, about a quarter mile away from the backyard. As I approached them, I ripped the bandage off my head and let my wolf heal the wound.Axel looked at the wound and there seemed to be amusement playing in his eyes but I pretended not to notice it. “Did you do it?”I smiled. The only reason I was helping Axel with this matter was how problematic I knew Crane could become down the line for me. If he continued forcing his daughter onto Axel, this would cause serious problems for me when the pack no longer saw me as the Luna in training.“It was not very difficult to get Hannah to trip up and embarrass David,” I said, shrugging. All she needed was a little push.Axel carrying me and taking me to the cabin for an entire day helped loads. David probably still had that last threat from Axel at the back of his mind when Hannah started going craz
Chloe’s POVDavid was moving the lawn when I walked to the house in a floral dress and a picnic basket.When he saw me, his face contorted to something ugly as he spat. “What are you doing here?”I smiled, not bothering him with a second glance. “I did not come here to see you. Is Mum home?”Just then, the door opened. Mum stood in the doorway, wearing the apron I had gotten her for Mother’s Day when I was twelve. Five years and it was still pristine.“David, I have finished making breakfast. Come in for…Chloe…”That day, I did not bother with trying to test her motherly devotion to me or giving her the time to agonize whether she should acknowledge me as her daughter.I simply walked past her into the house, my boots clicking against the newly washed floors. I was usually the one who washed the floors and instantly spotted at least four cleaning errors that the cleaner had made.I doubted it was Hannah who did it and I was certain that it would not be David. So it was definitely Mum.
Chloe’s POVTony stumbled backwards as Crane opened the door and walked past quickly as though fire was licking his heels.He entered the cabin and pointed towards Crane. “You guys were able to scare him off so quickly. I am impressed.”I smiled at Tony because Axel’s expression was so hard that he might have terrified a ghost. Tony noticed and sat down in one of the chairs near the door, ready to listen in case Axel needed him and ready to bolt in case not.The two had been friends for as long as Chloe could remember. Not just Alpha and Beta but real friends.After Axel died in my past life, the death had hit Tony the most. Everyone could see it that the young Beta was never going to be the same again as he vehemently turned down being Jax’s Beta, swearing that he could never serve Everdeen as its Beta, except beside the man he promised to do it with from day one.Undoubtedly, Axel was a good Alpha. Whether he deserved that level of loyalty was…questionable based on what I had seen o
Chloe's POVAxel's hand tugged on mine. “Sit and eat. The food is getting cold,” he said, trying to get me back onto the couch while completely ignoring the clan leader.Crane watched the entire interaction with an annoyed frown before going ahead to take a seat himself on a chair to our left.“This is a surprise really,” he commented, his voice now more pleasant. “I had not sent congratulations earlier because I did not think you two were well fit for each other.”Smart man. He was retreating to know how to advance.Axel hummed, lowering the volume of the television so he could hear Crane as well. “You still have not sent your congratulations now so your opinion has not changed.”Crane’s eyes narrowed slightly at Axel’s swift comeback but his smile did not drop from his face.The entire room was tense. I felt like I was in between two colossal giants fighting for territory and in this war, one of them was going to emerge in some kind of victory, however small.“Chloe, we are just mee
