Chloe's Game

Reya's POV. 

Chloe exited the slick black car, its stilettos gripping gravel, with the moon low and blood-red in the sky. The moment came. The estate in front of her loomed over like a beast, full of black powder and cold might. The reason she pulled her coat closer was not the cold, but the weight of the secret that had consumed her. 

Her name was not mentioned by the gate guard at all. The. She was known to them from the start. She'd made sure of it. 

The air inside was filled with a smoke-like image of might and peril. Standing tall and in a black suit, Alpha Wyvern stood by the fire, holding sipped whiskey.' She was immediately drawn to his piercing eyes as they entered her. 

He spoke in a velvet-like voice, "Chloe," and said: "What brought you to my doorstep." Then he continued. 

I like storms. Surprises are not something I enjoy. 

"You will love this one." She didn't utter a word. No response. 

With heels piercing the stone chamber, she approached him. "I came with an offer.". The person who will provide you with the most is Reya. 

Wyvern's jaw tensed. The wolf flickered, flashing in front of his eyes. "Shut up."

"At least I have a proposition for you, " I said, his gaze flickered with affection. "

"He swung his arms. I am keeping my distance."

I said, "I want Tristan to come back," and you also have a desire for Reya and her children. 

"Give me time."

She's been a big problem for me,' I said. 

Our efforts can be counted towards transforming that. 

He lowered his eyebrow. "What are you suggesting?"

I said, "I will give you Reya and her children.... You help me get Tristan back."

Wyvern chuckled. "Do you think Tristan will run back to me if Reya is not around anymore?" asked. 

I declared, "He will." But he still loves me. 

Reya is nothing more than a distraction. 

For an instant he thought, “wait, what do you reckon that I will capture Reya and her children?”. 

It's a breeze, I said. "They have settled into Riverdale in Tristan' house."

I have the ability to guide you to them. 

"Herself. 

Her children's identities. Everything necessary to reclaim what she took from you. If you grant me my wishes, I'll get all of it. 

His gaze widened. "What's your goal, dear?" He asked. 

Tristan, as I mentioned earlier. 

It was that name that loomed over the room like a shield. 

The lips of Wyvern pressed tightly. "Do you want to be my enforcer?". 

She made a bold statement, saying "I desire him to love me. You have the power to achieve that goal.". 

Wyvern laughed. “Love? Can I be a traffic jam in fairy tales? 

"I believe you used leverage," Chloe retorted. "And there's definitely a lot on your plate."

He would go to great lengths for his precious memory. For loyalty. You must convince him to pick me. Mate me.”. 

Wyvern scrutinized her, whizzing around. "What can you tell me about?

With a deep breath, Chloe said, "I hate Reya more than you do."

He stopped; interest piqued. "Come on." in response. 

“She humiliated me. 

Took everything. My partner, job title, her sway. Although she's been hiding, she maintains her innocence. She has twins—Tristan's bastards. She has plans to come back. She's building alliances. Quietly. But not quite enough.”

The wolf belonging to Wyvern was visibly flaunted by gold eyes and peeped out. 

“One boy, one girl. 

About four years now. 

You're asking me to chain a man who doesn't want to be with you. What is your question? 

Her smile was venomous. "He had a longing for her." He can want me next. People can be… redirected. When the leash is in close proximity, especially.' 

With a single swallow, Wyvern consumed his beverage. "You're colder than I anticipated."

"I gained knowledge from my teacher, who taught me about the consequences of being a silent waiter," she said. 

I won't wait anymore.”

Walking towards the fire, he observed it with an open mind, as if looking into a battlefield. "It's something I accept.". Let's say you took Reya and her pups. Make her crawl. In exchange for my help, I offer Tristan.... How can you justify him not wanting to kill me for this? 

She shrugged. “He won't. Is it accurate to say so or not? Tell him Reya betrayed him. Lied. The succession of wild blood could pose a threat to Xander's reign. He'll see it as justice.”

Then Wyvern chuckled in earnest. "You really are a viper."

Chloe muttered, "I'm tired of being lost," while adding, “You want to place Reya's head on a platter. 

I'm handing it to you. But I also desire love as a reward. ". My goal is to achieve victory once and for all. 

In the distance, I saw a shadowy scene.' 

The cries of the twins kept me awake. 

"My heart raced, and I couldn't control my sudden movement."

"Jessi cried out loud! "They are gone. "The man with silver eyes took them away!"

I embraced her, comforting her. "It was like a dream."

But my instincts screamed otherwise. 

I came across Xander in the training yard, sparring with a soldier. 

I exclaimed "Xander!"

He turned, his fear inflicted upon him. 

"Reya? 

"We need to talk. 

Now. 

Our destination was a remote corner. 

Xander's eyes were reduced to tears. "That'd be quite unsettling.". 

Do you have any acquaintances like that? 

But he hesitated: ‘There is an Alpha believed to be of silver eye. Alpha Wyvern. "

I felt a chill in my heart. "Do you believe he is after us?"

Xander stated, "It's possible, especially if someone didn't tell me."

"Like who? 

His gaze disappeared into the distance. "I'm unsure."

I gripped his arm. "Xander, do you have any knowledge?

He held his breath and exclaimed, "There have been whispers.". Someone in the court could be a mole. 

Can someone confirm if the person is Chloe? 

He did not answer. 

But I turned around."

"We will enhance our security," Xander declared. 

But I was not convinced. 

Later, as I walked through the corridors, I heard two warriors talking. 

"Did you hear? 

A secret meeting has occurred with Chloe. "

My heart sank. 

The shadows were closing in.

Silence. 

Afterward, he slowly extended his hand. 

They shook. 

With a final voice, Wyvern spoke "Deal" as if on the back of his coffin. 

“On a single condition,’ you will complete the job, but if Tristan refuses you and instead chooses to die. 

She maintained her smile. "I'll do what needs to be done.". 

The task was accomplished by Chloe. 

Wyvern's eyes gleamed. "Very well. Unless you betray me... 

I firmly denied, "No way. We've made a deal.". 

"Deal," he said with an open hand. 

And I hit it, sealed our deal."

I couldn't help but smile as we departed. It was likely that I would return to Tristan soon.
