Chloe's heart was pounding as she read the message from her pack. She knew what it meant. She would have to leave the palace, her newfound freedom, and everything she had come to love. She wasn't sure she was ready to face Liam and his father again.The thought of returning to her pack filled her with dread. She had been treated like an outcast and a failure, ever since she was a pup. And now, after all this time, they were summoning her back. She couldn't help but feel angry and resentful.Chloe knew that Liam would be waiting for her, with his cold, calculating eyes, ready to scrutinize her every move. She had always been his target, his punching bag. She had endured his verbal and physical abuse for years, but she was no longer the scared pup that he could push around.But what about Aiden? She couldn't bear the thought of leaving him behind. They had grown so close in such a short time, and she felt a deep connection to him that she had never felt with anyone else. He had shown he

Aiden sat in his throne room, deep in thought. The room was grand, with high vaulted ceilings and walls adorned with intricate carvings and murals depicting epic battles and legendary creatures. The floor was made of polished marble, reflecting the light of the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The throne itself was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, with intricate carvings of dragons and other mythical creatures adorning the arms and backrest.Aiden couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss as he thought about Chloe. He had let her go back to Liam, and now he feared that he had lost her for good. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had made a mistake, that he should have fought harder to keep her by his side.As he sat there, lost in thought, Aiden couldn't help but think about what he could do to win Chloe back. He knew that he had to act fast, that he couldn't let her slip away from him. But what could he do? Liam was the Alpha's son, and he had the backing of the pack. How co

Liam's jaw clenched, and he growled lowly, "You're wrong, Emily. You are my problem, too."Emily raised her eyebrows, looking amused, "Oh really? And why is that?""Because we've been sleeping together, and you know it. You have been manipulating me from the very beginning," Liam said, his voice growing louder.Emily's smirk faltered, "I have no idea what you're talking about. We have a mutual arrangement, Liam. Nothing more, nothing less."Liam shook his head, "You poisoned Chloe because you were jealous. You couldn't stand the thought of me being with someone who loves me, and now you want me to believe that you have no feelings for me? I'm not that naive, Emily."Emily's expression turned cold, "Chloe was never good enough for you, Liam. And she was getting in the way of your destiny as the future Alpha. You were starting to care for her, and that's why I had to do something about it."Liam narrowed his eyes, "Chloe and I were getting along just fine before she went to stay with Ai

Chloe sat alone in the dungeon, her mind racing with thoughts of everything that had led her to this point. She couldn't believe that she was back in this pack, back in this place that she despised so much. It had all started with Emily's betrayal, and now Chloe was paying the ultimate price for it.As she sat there, bound and alone, Chloe couldn't help but think about Aiden. He was the one person who had made her feel safe and loved, even in the midst of all the chaos. But she knew that she couldn't rely on him to save her this time. This time, she was on her own.Chloe thought about Liam, the Prince who had always rubbed her the wrong way. She couldn't stand him, couldn't bear the thought of being mated to him. But as much as she hated him, Chloe knew that he was her only hope of getting out of this alive. She had to be nice to him, had to play the game if she wanted to survive.But the thought of being mated to Liam made Chloe's skin crawl. She would rather die than be bound to him

Aiden was seated in his throne room, staring blankly into space as his father walked in. The King observed his son's expression and noticed the sadness etched on his face. He approached him and asked, "Aiden, why do you look so glum? Is it because of Chloe?"Aiden looked up at his father, surprised that he had guessed the reason for his sadness. He nodded slowly and said, "Yes, Father. I miss her so much, and I want her back with me."His father sighed and asked, "Then why aren't you doing anything to get her back? You're the Alpha, Aiden. You have the power to make things happen. If you really want her back here, you know that you can easily arrange for that to happen."Aiden's shoulders slumped, and he replied, "I made a deal with Liam. He allowed me to heal Chloe when she was poisoned, and in return, I promised not to interfere with his relationship with her. My word is my honor, Father, and I cannot go back on it."The King nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand your dilemma,
