"Eris, what do you think has taken place here since we were gone?" It was an inquiry that had been brought up more than once before, but his father nor Ryder never had anything to say, nor did they have the drive to give them the answers until now. "Aren't you wondering what's wrong and why the Alpha refuses to allow us to go home? I mean, I can't understand why we aren't allowed to return home and see the pack."
The only thing Eris was able to say was, "I don't know as well, Snow."
Like Snow, Eris is curious as to why they are unable to return home, but unlike Snow, she is not inclined to keep asking for an explanation—especially if the Alpha is the one who is preventing them from doing so. Eris happens to be terrified of the Alpha, so she knows when to give up on finding out the answers that are being kept away from them.
"Ahh! Fuck it! I'm wounded." Blaze's anguished growl resonated amid the crossfires, causing his troops to feel worried about him once again. Trying to do everything he could to drag Blaze away from the chaos, Quen stated, "Damn it! This is exactly what I was so concerned about. We're under attack again. Take cover and ensure the boss's safety." He mumbled, furious, "Damn, we're back in this hell hole again." Blaze declared, "I am fine." He is doing his best to keep his men from getting distressed because of him again. He doesn't want to further add to the concern of his men. "I can still fight, but damn try to locate who is ambushing us." "This is pointless, Blaze. We need to retreat or we will all die in here." "No. We have to at least try to find her."
This might have been the most detrimental action Eris and I have ever taken, but it doesn't matter because I know that I must do everything in my power to save my mate as soon as I hear him calling out to me. I cannot let anything happen to Blaze even though I am deeply hurt with all that has transpired between us. Yes, I still continue to think of him as my mate, despite my mind's denial that I still need him. In my heart, we still have that connection, and there is still a vague hope in me that that connection we have will never fade. I am honestly torn between him and Phoenix because I know that, although it is a faint one, I still have a mate bond between both of them. And I am as confused as probably Eris is right now. I distinctly recall feeling that unbearable pain in my chest, and recognizing that Blaze was in trouble, I, right away, began to take act
"That's her! I am sure that's her; even if I haven't seen her wolf yet, without a doubt, I know that it is her." "Alpha Phoenix, you may be mistaken." "No. I know what I felt and I know what I am saying. That is her. That's Snow. Max is so sure about that scent as well. That pristine white wolf is my mate. Tank, you do believe me, right?" "It's honestly hard to say if that is really Snow or not. I mean, why would she be there?" "That wolf is Snow, and she is my fucking mate. However, I can't help but question why in the world doesn't she seem to even recognize me? And who the hell is that bastard who keeps calling out her name?" Phoenix is obviously incensed about what just happened, and everything that transpired is obviously driving his desire to kill someone, spec
Although it was not my original plan to bring Blaze and Quen to the house where Eris and I are staying, I don't have any other option as I find myself at a loss for what to do. I have to make sure that I heal my mate, who has been wounded, before I get rid of them. And on top of that, I need to make sure that the pack of wolves who ambushed them will no longer be a threat to them. He has been staring at me since earlier, and I am conscious of the fact that he has a lot of questions for me, but I'm not even sure if I'm prepared to give him the responses he was hoping for at this time. I may have revealed to him who I really am or what I really was, but I'm not sure if I can further explain my existence to him in more detail. There is a lot for me to consider before I tell him the story of my life other than what he already knows, that my fiance cheated on me w
"I don't know what has gotten into you, Snow, but I like it. I like this new you so much that this might actually be the first time that I have completely agreed with your decisions without a fuss." I could only roll my eyes upon hearing what Eris had to say. Of course, she would like the decision that I have made. Now that we are back in the human realm, my wolf is naturally happy that I was unable to restrain my desires for Blaze. The mate bond still exists between us, no matter how hard I try to end it. But to be perfectly honest, the mate bond may not have been the only reason why we are here with Blaze. I actually have no idea why I chose to be here instead of fixing the problem I created at the pack. Out of nowhere, I just felt the need to hear whatever he had to say. "The fact that he referred to us
Eris was stopped in her tracks by a piercing shriek that resonated throughout the forest. "Did you hear that?" She called it into question, "What the hell was that?" I answered back, "I did hear that, but how was I supposed to figure out what was all that? We are both on the same track here if you are simply forgetting." She tilted her head upwards and began to scan the surroundings with her nose. Sniffing the air to see what she might get. The shifts in Eris' stance end up giving me the distinct feeling that something may not be right right away. We both said, simultaneously, "Rogues are approaching the border." I questioned her back, gearing myself for a probable fight to break out, "Are you up to find out what it was? Can we handle this alone or do we need to seek out some assistance?" "We can handle this, honey." As soon as she said that, Eris began sprinting quickly into the forest in the area of the outland boundaries, leaving me with hardly any time to consider just
Ryder walked straight up to me in the middle of the field and started asking, "So where were you last night again, Snow?" Being this curious at this hour was unprecedented for him. I knew he wouldn't just let me off the hook easily. I decided to start my warm-up stretches and decided to ask him back, rather than answer him, "Isn't it a great day to start the workout rather than just me answering your question? I kept telling you that I was merely out there at the backyard gates, trying to enjoy the chilly air, preparing myself for the full moon. You know how excited I am to meet my mate?" He began his own series of stretches and then said, "I won't easily be misled, Snow. I know you so well. We looked all around for you, but we couldn't find you anywhere near the back gates." "You were just not diligent enough in your search for me, but I was there." "You were definitely not. Soon you'll tell me the truth." "Want to spar?" I said snarkily as I gestured to the empty space. "If you
While we were out for a stroll, Eris tried to reassure me, saying, "Snow, it's alright. They'll come around. I just truly believe that everything will work out for the both of us. We just have to continue to hang on to that hope that our mate will find us tonight." How can I be hopeful when there has been no sign of my mate up to this point, despite the fact that tonight is the full moon, and other than the fact that my engagement will be announced within the next hour? If Eris and I don't get to meet our mate before the announcement, then I am sure that we won't be able to meet him anymore. And I am now beginning to lose all optimism that I will still be able to have a chance to meet him before the news of my marriage to whomever is revealed. How screwed up is my life really? Just about everything for me appears to be going south. Phoenix, who Eris strongly believed to be our mate, is trying to make it look even more emotionally detached from me, despite the fact that Maddie has s
