Chapter Thirty Four
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.
As he walked down the hallway, Aiden couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over him. He finally had a chance to make things right with Chloe. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he was willing to do whatever it takes to heal her.
The next day, Aiden and Liam set off on their journey to find the cure for Chloe. They traveled for days, facing many obstacles along the way. Finally, they arrived at their destination, a remote village deep in the forest.
Aiden led Liam to the healer’s hut and explained the situation. The healer agreed to help them, but it wouldn’t be easy. The cure required rare ingredients that were only found in the most dangerous parts of the forest.
Aiden and Liam set out to find the ingredients, facing many dangers and challenges along the way. They fought off vicious creatures and battled treacherous terrain. But despite it all, they never gave up.
Finally, after many long days of searching, they found all the ingredients they needed. They returned to the healer’s hut, and she began to work her magic.
Hours turned into days, and Aiden and Liam waited anxiously for news of Chloe’s condition. Finally, the healer emerged from the hut and told them the good news. Chloe was going to be okay.
Aiden couldn’t believe it. He had saved Chloe’s life, and he knew that their bond was stronger than ever. As they journeyed back to the castle, Aiden couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had done the impossible, and he had won Chloe’s heart back.
Aiden’s heart was pounding in his chest as he made the offer to Liam. He knew this was a risky move, but he couldn’t bear the thought of losing Chloe to the Alpha’s clutches. He took a deep breath before speaking again.
“I have a solution to heal Chloe permanently,” Aiden said, his voice steady but firm. “But I need to go with her to do it.”
Liam raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. “And why would I allow that?”
Aiden leaned forward in his throne, his eyes locked with Liam’s. “Because you don’t want to lose her either,” he said. “I know how much she means to you, Liam. And I know you’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Liam scowled, but Aiden could see the hesitation in his eyes. He knew he had struck a nerve. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Liam spoke.
“What do you propose?” Liam asked, his voice low and guarded.
Aiden felt a glimmer of hope ignite within him. “I’ll let you have Chloe,” he said. “I won’t interfere. But you have to let me go with her and heal her.”
Liam’s eyes narrowed, and for a moment Aiden thought he might refuse. But then, to his surprise, Liam nodded.
“Fine,” he said, his voice cold. “But if anything happens to her, I’ll hold you responsible.”
Aiden nodded, relief flooding through him. “I understand,” he said.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment longer, neither one willing to break eye contact. Finally, Liam stood up and turned to leave.
“Let’s go,” he said over his shoulder. “We don’t have all day.”
Aiden stood up as well, his mind racing. He couldn’t believe he had just made a deal with Liam, but it was the only way he could think of to save Chloe. He followed Liam out of the throne room and into the night, his heart heavy with worry and anticipation.
Aiden sat in his room, feeling the weight of his decision on his shoulders. He couldn’t believe he had made a deal with Liam, the very one he despised, just to save Chloe’s life. The thought of her being with Liam made him sick to his stomach, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had made the wrong choice.
He was torn between his love for Chloe and his duty as a prince. As a leader, he had to put his people first, but he couldn’t bear the thought of losing Chloe. She was his everything, and he would do anything to protect her.
But now, as he sat alone in his room, he couldn’t help but feel like he had failed. He had traded something permanent for something temporary, and he didn’t know if he could live with himself for it. He hated himself for letting her go, even if it was just a temporary arrangement.
His heart ached as he thought about Chloe being with Liam, the very one who had caused her so much pain in the past. He couldn’t stand the thought of her being hurt again, and he couldn’t help but blame himself for it.
Aiden was filled with a deep sense of regret and remorse. He wished he could turn back time and make a different decision, but he knew it was too late. All he could do now was hope that Chloe would be safe and that he could make it up to her somehow.
The pain he felt was overwhelming, and he couldn’t even bring himself to leave his room. He was consumed by his thoughts and the weight of his decision, and he didn’t know how he was going to move on from it. All he knew was that he loved Chloe with every fiber of his being, and he would do anything to keep her safe, even if it meant sacrificing his own happiness.
