Chapter Forty Six
With that, Chloe turned and walked out of the room, leaving Aiden standing there in stunned silence. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she had to stand up for herself and her own happiness. And maybe, just maybe, things would work out in the end.
Chloe walked out of Aiden’s room, fuming with anger. She couldn’t believe how he was acting, making it seem like Liam’s sacrifice didn’t matter. She stormed through the corridors, feeling the rage coursing through her veins. She needed to talk to someone who would understand her, someone who would listen without judging her. She immediately thought of Janet, her best friend and confidante.
Chloe made her way to Janet’s room and knocked on the door. Janet answered almost immediately, her eyes widening when she saw Chloe’s angry expression.
“What happened?” Janet asked, ushering Chloe inside.
Chloe collapsed on Janet’s bed, feeling the tears stinging the corners of her eyes. “It’s Aiden,” she said, her voice shaky. “He’s being so unreasonable. He’s jealous of Liam and he’s making it seem like his sacrifice means nothing.”
Janet sat down next to Chloe and put her arm around her. “Tell me everything,” she said, a sympathetic look in her eyes.
Chloe took a deep breath and recounted everything that had happened between her and Aiden, from Liam’s visit to their heated argument. Janet listened intently, nodding in all the right places and offering words of comfort when needed.
After Chloe had finished, Janet sat back and looked at her friend. “You know what I think?” she said.
Chloe shook her head, feeling exhausted from all the emotions she had been through.
“I think Aiden is scared,” Janet said. “He’s scared that he’s going to lose you, and that’s why he’s acting out.”
Chloe looked at Janet, surprised by her insight. “Do you really think so?” she asked.
Janet nodded. “I do. And I think you need to talk to him, tell him how you feel and make him understand that you’re not a prize to be won. You’re your own person, and you deserve to be treated with respect and love.”
Chloe wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded. “You’re right,” she said. “I’ll talk to him. Thank you for listening, Janet.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Anytime,” Janet said, giving Chloe a hug.
Chloe got up from the bed, feeling a little bit better. She knew that talking to Aiden wouldn’t be easy, but she also knew that she couldn’t let him treat her like a possession. She had to stand up for herself and make him understand that she was her own person.
As she walked back to her room, Chloe couldn’t help but think about what Janet had said. Was Aiden really just scared? Was he afraid of losing her? She didn’t know, but she was determined to find out. And she was also determined to make him understand that she was worth fighting for, but not at the expense of her own dignity and self-respect.
Chloe finally arrived at her room, feeling a little bit calmer than before. She took a deep breath and opened the door, preparing herself for what was to come.
After talking to, Chloe was still fuming with anger and frustration. She decided to take a walk in the woods to calm down before talking to Aiden again. As she was walking, she thought about what had just happened and realized that she loved Aiden and didn’t want to lose him. She decided to go back and talk to him.
When she got back to Aiden’s place, she found him sitting on the porch, looking out at the woods. He turned as she approached and stood up to face her. They looked at each other for a moment before Aiden spoke.
“Aiden, I’m sorry,” Chloe said, her voice softening. “I overreacted earlier. I was just upset about Liam being there.”
Aiden sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “I understand, Chloe. But you have to know that I only want what’s best for you. I don’t want to lose you.”
Chloe stepped closer to him and took his hand. “You’re not going to lose me, Aiden. You’re the one I love. Liam is just a friend. Nothing more.”
Aiden looked at her, his eyes searching hers. “Do you mean that, Chloe?”
Chloe nodded. “Yes, I do. I love you, Aiden. You’re the only one I want to be with.”
Aiden’s face softened, and he pulled Chloe into his arms. “I love you too, Chloe,” he whispered. “I don’t know what I would do without you.”
They stood there for a moment, holding each other, before Aiden pulled back to look at Chloe. “But you have to promise me something, Chloe.”
“What’s that?” Chloe asked.
“That you’ll always be honest with me. No matter what. If there’s something bothering you or something you need to talk about, you’ll come to me.”
Chloe smiled and nodded. “I promise, Aiden. I’ll always be honest with you.”
Aiden leaned in and kissed her gently. “Good,” he said when they broke apart. “Because I can’t lose you, Chloe. You mean everything to me.”
Chloe smiled and snuggled into Aiden’s arms. “I’m not going anywhere, Aiden. I promise.”
Chloe sat alone in her room, lost in thought. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something had changed between her and Liam. He wasn’t the same cold, ruthless monster he used to be. He seemed kinder, more human. And yet, she couldn’t deny that she was with Aiden now, and she loved him deeply.
She sighed, running her hands through her hair. Why did life have to be so complicated? She never asked for this supernatural world or the problems that came with it. But here she was, in the middle of a love triangle between two powerful Lycan men. It was overwhelming.
Chloe knew she had to make a choice, but it was tearing her apart. Aiden had always been there for her, protecting her and making her feel safe. But Liam had risked everything to save her, even if it meant going against his own kind. It was hard to ignore the sacrifices he had made for her.
She shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. This wasn’t fair to anyone, especially not to Aiden. She couldn’t keep stringing him along while she figured things out. She needed to make a decision and stick to it, no matter how hard it was.
But how could she choose between two men she cared about deeply? It felt like an impossible choice, one that would break someone’s heart no matter what she did. She didn’t want to hurt anyone, but she couldn’t keep living in this limbo.
Chloe closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. She knew what she had to do. She had to talk to both Aiden and Liam, and be honest with them about her feelingsone day and it won’t be an easy conversation. It wouldn’t be easy, but it was the right thing to do.
She stood up, determined to face her problems head-on. It was time to stop running away and start taking control of her own life. No more excuses, no more lies. It was time to be brave and face the consequences of her actions.
Chloe knew that whatever happened, she would find a way to make it work. She was strong enough to handle whatever life threw at her. And who knows, maybe there was a way for everyone to be happy in the end.
With that thought in mind, Chloe took a deep breath and stepped out of her room, ready to face whatever came her way.
