Chapter Thirty Three
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 could Aiden compete with that?
Aiden let out a deep sigh as he leaned back in his throne. He knew that he couldn’t give up on Chloe, that he had to keep fighting for her. But the question remained, how?
Aiden slumped in his throne, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. He couldn’t help but feel like he had let Chloe slip through his fingers, back into the hands of that monster Liam. He didn’t know what to do, how to get her back, and the thought of never seeing her again made his heart ache.
As he was lost in his thoughts, Jason entered the throne room, a small smile playing on his lips. “Hey man, how are you holding up?” he asked, his tone gentle.
Aiden sighed heavily. “I can’t even lie, Jason. I’m doing terrible,” he replied honestly, his voice low.
Jason raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on? Did something happen with Chloe?”
Aiden shook his head, his eyes downcast. “I let her go back to Liam. I don’t know what I was thinking. Now she’s going to be forced to marry him and there’s nothing I can do about it,” he said bitterly.
Jason let out a small laugh, shaking his head. “You’re the fucking Lycan prince, Aiden. Liam is just a prince. There’s no comparison there. You have the power to make things right, to save Chloe,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
Aiden looked up at his friend, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. “You really think so?” he asked, his voice hopeful.
Jason nodded firmly. “Absolutely. You have the support of your pack, your family, and the entire Lycan kingdom behind you. You can do this, Aiden. You can save Chloe and make things right,” he said firmly.
Aiden felt a sense of determination building within him. Jason was right. He was the prince, the future king of the Lycan kingdom. He had the power to make a difference, to fight for what he believed in.
“Thank you, Jason,” he said, a small smile tugging at his lips. “I needed to hear that.”
Jason clapped him on the back, grinning widely. “Anytime, man. Now, l,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
As they made their way out of the throne room, Aiden couldn’t help but feel a sense of renewed hope. Maybe, just maybe, he could save Chloe and make things right.
Aiden stood at the entrance to Chloe’s room, memories of that day flooding back. He remembered bursting into the room and finding Chloe barely conscious, struggling to breathe. He knew he had to act fast to save her.
Lost in thought, he then remembered the time Chloe was sick and he had to rescue her. He entered the room and saw Chloe breathing heavily, with Liam standing by her side.
“Why are you here?” Liam demanded, his eyes flashing with anger.
“I’m here to help,” Aiden replied calmly. “I know how to heal her.”
Liam scoffed, “I highly doubt that. I’ve tried everything to heal her, and nothing has worked.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Aiden took a step closer to Chloe’s bed and examined her. “You may have tried everything, but you didn’t try what I’m about to do,” Aiden said, his voice confident.
Liam looked skeptical, but stepped back to let Aiden do his work. Aiden closed his eyes and focused all his energy on Chloe, pouring his healing power into her body.
Slowly but surely, Chloe’s breathing began to ease and her color returned to her cheeks. Aiden opened his eyes to see Liam staring at him in disbelief.
“How did you do that?” Liam asked, shocked.
“I have powers that you could never comprehend,” Aiden said simply, a hint of a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
Liam didn’t respond, and Aiden turned to Chloe, taking her hand in his. He knew he had to fight for her, no matter what.
Aiden looked at Liam, his eyes narrowing. “I am here to help Chloe, Liam. I know you have been trying to heal her, but I have something that can cure her illness.”
Liam crossed his arms, his expression skeptical. “And what makes you think you have something that can help her when I have been trying everything and nothing has worked?”
Aiden took a deep breath and spoke firmly. “I am the Lycan prince, Liam. I have access to resources and knowledge that you do not. And I know how to heal her.”
Liam’s eyes narrowed. “And what do you want in return for your help?”
Aiden shook his head. “I do not want anything from you, Liam. I just want to help Chloe. That is all.”
Liam hesitated, then nodded reluctantly. “Fine. But I will be watching you closely.”
Aiden ignored Liam’s suspicion and turned to Chloe, taking her hand in his. “I will help you, Chloe. I promise.”
Chloe looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Aiden. I knew I could count on you.”
Aiden smiled at her, then turned to Liam. “I will need some space to work. Can you give me a private room?”
Liam nodded, still wary, but willing to cooperate for Chloe’s sake. “I will have a room prepared for you. But if anything happens to Chloe, I will hold you responsible.”
Aiden nodded solemnly. “I understand, Liam. I will not let anything happen to her.”
As Liam left to prepare the room, Aiden turned back to Chloe. “You just rest, Chloe. I will take care of everything.”
Chloe smiled weakly at him, her eyes closing as she drifted off to sleep. Aiden watched over her, his heart heavy with concern but also with a fierce determination to heal her.
Aiden couldn’t believe Liam agreed to his proposal. He knew he was taking a risk, but he had to save Chloe. “You won’t regret this, Liam. I promise you,” Aiden said confidently.
Liam raised an eyebrow and said, “We’ll see about that. But you better keep your word, Aiden.”
Aiden nodded and turned to leave. “I’ll make arrangements for us to leave tomorrow,” he said as he walked out of the room.
