Chloe's POV

The air was filled with a sense of serenity as Blake and I found ourselves in a quiet place. It may have been coincidental, or maybe subconscious on my part, but I let Blake to the secluded part of the forest behind the pack house... the very place where we had our first meaningful conversation... that time we talked after he marked me.

The forest seemed to breathe with life. Leaves rustled in the wind, whispering secrets that only nature could comprehend. The gentle swaying of branches created a mesmerizing dance, as if the trees themselves were in harmony with the rhythm of the earth. It looked so lively... very contrary to the emotions that I was feeling inside.

I stood there, gazing at the horizon, the chilly wind blowing on my face. Deep inside, the memories of that time started flooding back to me. It was the first time I discovered about Vanessa and Alan's betrayal. Then, my father had forcibly switched our mates.

That time, I was scared and confused. I was very helpless. My emotions were deeply intertwined.

Alan was my mate, but everyone, including him, worked hard on breaking us. I remembered how helpless and loss I was, with my heart shattering into a million pieces.

Then, I looked at Blake’s clear eyes. That time, Blake spoke softly to me and opened his heart.

‘Maybe, that was the time when my feelings for him started to develop,’ I thought as I watched the horizon, the gentle breeze brushing against my face ‘So ironic that we are back in this place... this place where everything started...’

‘After this talk, where will the two of us be?’ The weight of our past and the uncertainty of our future causing my emotions to sway like a pendulum. The tremble in my eyes mirrored the whirlwind of emotions within me.

After a few more minutes, Blake, who kept quiet the whole time, opened his mouth to speak.

" C-Chloe?" I turned to look at him. Surprisingly, he looking noticeably nervous and pale and glanced at me with unease.

More than that, he stuttered as he called my name. His stuttered words was what took me by great surprise, revealing a side of him that I had not witnessed before.

It was as if the powerful Lycan King had shed his tough exterior, ready to kneel before me like a nervous schoolboy. Blake struggled to maintain composure and looked very vulnerable. It was as if he would easily break just from my words.
