Chloe's POV Having Alaric chase me through the woods felt so freeing, exhilarating, and I know he let me run longer than he really wanted to do.He could have caught me so many different times but he let me continue. He's always so great at reading my feelings, even before being mated.Even with everything that has been going on, especially with that dream, the moment I am around him all those doubts just seem to fade away, his presence has such a positive effect on me.I can feel how much he loves me, it makes it hard to believe that he would hurt me in such a way, he cane clean about using magic on me to make me believe we were fated, that he basically stalked me for my birth father, I believe he's told me everything, but this dream is still nagging at the back of my mind 'The Lycan King is alive'. What's worse is Alaric is the Lycan King, since my father died, so that would mean it was him, the magic, me turning, everything, but I just don't believe it, not my Alaric. After a li

Chloe's POV We walked behind him to the old pack house, I could tell he was taking in the changes as we started through town."Adding to the pack I see. I know the territory was expanded, I could sense the barrier being quite bigger than before."His tone was very matter of fact and somehow cold.Alaric and I glanced to one another but neither of us spoke as we continued until we reached the house.As we entered I noticed him sniffing the air when his head whipped back to look at us, his eyes black with rage."You don't live here" anger laced in his tone as he sniffed again."This place reeks of Omegas along with warriors and children" his aura wrapped around us, I could see it was having an effect on Alaric but not myself.I can feel it but it doesn't suffocate me, maybe because he is my birth father?"Stop it! Reign in your rage. You asked to come to the pack house, we are here to speak, whether we live here or not any of your damn business. You want to speak, let's go sit and talk

Lucas's POV Seeing Chloe, standing under the lights I couldn't help but feel the love radiating from her as she looked at Alaric. The love that grew between them is so strong, that chosen love that I feel for her. I know we are fated mates so feeling were already there but falling in love with her was by choice, she draws you in with her heart.Chloe walked over to us looping her arms in ours, linking us together as one as she walked us to the table she set up.Every desert that we love is sitting upon it, her smile telling us how happy she was to be with us in this moment.Some soft music started playing when she stood herself I'm front of Alaric. Reaching her hand out to him as he looked up at her, taking her hand as she led him besides the table, slow dancing in one another's arms.Jealousy should probably be running through my veins but I guess since we are all marked as one all I feel is the love, no sense of jealousy at all.Watching the two of them I worried about tomorrow,

Alaric's POV After putting the babies down, my heart sank into my chest.This could be my very last moment with them, the last time I see their perfect faces, those cute bow mouths, the little smiles looking up at me.Tears trying to fall but I force them back because I can't let those emotions take over right now.There is so much at stake right now I can't let fear or sadness take me, just the thought of Chloe being there, witnessing what's to come, that's weakening me enough.I don't want to leave her, or put her in the position of taking her father's life, but my choices are quite limited right now.My only worry is that if I die, it breaks her, the bond snapping leaving her incapable of moving or reacting to follow through.My only saving grace will be that she does it before I am fully dead, if it comes to that.I know everyone looks at me, they see it as I'm giving up, that I know I'm not strong enough for this fight, but the reality is, he has a witch.He has Sydney and Endor

Chloe's POV 'Lucas! She is doing something, she has magic flowing from herself to him!' I linked to him as fast as I could, panic settling into me as I watched frantically as they took their stances to begin fighting.Lucas looks dead at me, confusion at first before turning to the witch. 'How can you see the magic flowing!?''Maybe because he's my father? I've felt different since he's come back, like I can see certain auras, but I can literally see the magic flowing from her to him!'I feel like I'm hyperventilating now, pure terror coursing through my veins as I watch a pale red mist like cloud coming from her to Lucien.'Calm down Clo! I'll figure something out.'Lucas disappeared from my sight as I watch Alaric take a defensive stance as Lucien lunged towards him.Ric slipped to the side, Lucien stumbled a bit when Ric kicked him behind the knee knocking him down slightly before he was back to his feet, now circling Ric.My heart feeling as if it's going to pound out of my ches
