CHAPTER 44
CHAPTER 44
Marcus's POV:
I pulled my shirt over my head, as I came back into the room. I felt pretty bad for how I had acted with Chloe, she was just as stress as I am or even more stressed over the situation and I had made it look like she was to be blamed for all that had happened.
I was going to apologize but just as I opened my mouth to speak, I felt her absence in the room. I looked around and truly, she was gone.
I sighed, rubbing a hand down my face as my soldiers sagged. Maybe I had been to harsh on her, I should have been able to handle the situation properly. I decided to go down and have a chat with the maid who she had said saw her transform but when I went down to the kitchen, the cool said the young lass had left in a hurry.
Poor girl, she should have been scared to the death!
I went over to the dinning to have my breakfast, but I could not eat much as I had gotten too accustomed to eating with Chloe ny my side, and how she fed me sometimes and also stole my food. I slammed my fork down on my plate, took a glass of water and went in search of my wife.
She was not at the training ground, which I noticed had become one of her favourite places. She was not at the little lake where she loved to pass free time and obviously, I knew she would not be over at Mark's and Lily's, but I had to check for some certain reasons and she also was not there.
My mind clouded with fury, when after five hours of searching non stop, I still had no trace on her. She would not reply to any of my messages, neither will she come back home and it was making me feel restless.
I went back to Mark's and the house was full. Mark and Lily sat, cuddled up on one couch, while Titus sat across from them, sipping on a glass of something that smelled like beer. I let myself in and plopped down into a chair, not minding if I was invited or not.
“No news on her yet?” Lily asked immediately her blue eyes fell on me. She had concern written all over her face and the fact that I was still a bit upset with her for keeping away important information from us, did not stop me from replying. “I have not and she would not even reply to any of my messages,” I growled.
“Oh,” she replied, a dark look fell over her face as her eyes lowered to the ground. “This should be my fault, we wouldn't be having these issues if I had not hid things away from her. She always came to me when she was sad,” she complained.
I rolled my eyes, a scoffed unintentionally escaping me. Everyone turned to me and I shrugged. “What? Lily deserves all that is coming to her and more, because I do not even think that Chloe has any plans of forgiving her.” I looked pointedly at her. “She can never trust you again, do you can forget about that friendship because I think it is long gone and washed away!”
Mark growled at me and I growled back with a greater force. He relax back, giving me a deadly glare. “With all due respect Alpha,” he stated, his voice as cold as an iceberg. “You can't completely blame Lily for this, she was put under pressure by everyone! That red head aunty of Chloe you brought her, not excluded!”
“Keep her out of this,” Titus snapped, shooting an equally death glare at Mark. “She is trapped in a bed, struggling for her life, keep her out of this!”
“To hell with you and your man whore attitude,” Mark snapped back, making a disgusted face at him. “You act all righteous now z that I almost forgot you had drawn a naked picture the Luna! You shameless wolf!”
I growled, my hands clenching into fists, as I tried to get a control on myself. My pupils started to dilating and I couldn't see anything but my rage, as the memories came back all fresh in my head.
“Marcus!” It was Lily's voice. “Get a gripped on yourself! You can't lose it right now, Chloe needs you!” She turned to Titus. “Leave, he is losing his mind!”
I battled with the rage, struggling hard to subdue it and soon, I began to calm down, taking deep breaths and thinking about Chloe. The most important thing was to find her now, I could not waste a moment worrying about stupid Titus. “Make sure he gets a good beating soon,” I instructed Mark and he agreed with a nod.
Lily came to squat in front of me,asking sure that I met her eyes. “Marcus, I am so sorry for everything that has happened and as untrue as this sounds, I find it hard to also forgive myself! Please when you see Chloe, help me beg for her forgiveness and let her know that I truly am sorry for everything and got would be highly appreciated, if she found a place in her heart to forgive this stupid friend of hers,” her eyes watered, and I had to divert my emotionless one.
“You know how strong headed that friend of yours can be, you would just have to take care of that yourself.” I said, shari g a look with Mark. “When you see her, go talk to her yourself.” My tone was sharp and final, but not harsh, at all!
She heaved a sigh, placing her hand on her knees as support to lift herself off the ground. She went backwards, dropping back on the couch into her former position. “I will try, I will keep trying until she forgives me," she said in a sober voice.
