‘ you were once a member of the Venus pack ‘
It wasn’t like that Thalia hadn’t thought about the possibility, many times she had considered the option whether or not she had known Carter before she lost her memories. The only reason she thought that it was too far fetched was because the last thing she remembered after waking up - she was clearly in Arizona, so how did she reach there? Did her parents move or were they on a run? She wished Brandon had told her something more but the latter had left the conversation there saying that this much was enough for today .A brief flash of something flickered in her mind but before Thalia could grasp it, it vanished. She bit back a curse as she stumbled to the ground because of the pain that twinged her marks - Brandon wasn’t lying when he said that the curse will rebound if she tried to remember something that she shouldn’t, the pain was worse than before and she has never feint soThalia watched Carter pause, as he leaned forward and pinched her chin between his thumb and forefinger, as the pad of his thumb rubbed her very distended neck sensitive skin, Thalia winced trying to jerk her head away from his hold. He didn’t let her as if silently telling her just how weak she was “ So, Darling -what did you say? “It wasn’t the I didn’t hear you kind of question, it was you better think of an excuse while I am giving you a chance to - she glanced at his face, there wasn’t an ounce of anger that could be seen on that handsomely gorgeous face, the same smile, the same whisper-soft voice - not a crease in sight but Thalia knew him far better than this now .. she knew the angrier Carter was the better he hid his temper. Her fear told her to do what he had asked her to but the cur
“ Is that why you have covered up your mark? You don’t want the world to know that I have claimed you ?” Thalia stiffened underneath him as his eyes drifted down to her neck seeking to see the mark he had left there, and Carter felt his gut wrench when he saw that Thalia has covered his mark with concealer. His wolf uttered a slow rumble as he unsheathed his claws, and a deep growl rumbled in his chest, he has been trying to be understanding give her the time and space to accept him in her life, so that she was no longer as off-balance as she was when he claimed her before he made his next big move but Thalia just seem to have a way to piss him off- first, she defied him and now this, maybe his brother was right, mates were born to make life difficult for them like she was making him, never in his entire life, he had lost control of his emotions as he had when it came to dealing with Thalia.
Sitting in the coffeehouse, Thalia set down her half-empty mug .she nursed her temple as the constant chatter, clattering of dishes and the murmurs of voices together with the whirs of blenders, and the chiming of the bell hanging on top of the door registered. She wasn’t in her best form and all of this was thanks to Carter who had repeatedly ‘claimed her ‘ last night, Carter had woken her up to a countless number of times last night, there might little of what can be done that he might have not done to her body. Thalia was sure that now Carter might have a rather good idea about her body than her, he had staked his claim such that she might never dare to either forget or deny.He had continued to stake the said claim of his until this morning, after she had fallen unconscious, Thalia has expected that he might leave her alone. Oh boy, she was wrong, not only
“ Weird? In what sense?” Asked Thalia, feeling a little awkward and dubious, well it wasn’t every day someone told her that her mother was a weirdo.“ oh don’t take it in the wrong way,” said Brandon chugging the last bit of his coffee, putting down the empty mug he continued “ She like I told you, had a very bad habit of pleasing the one who was in power. She was sweet but she was a seer like you, she believed that she could be more than she was at that moment, she believed she could be the beta female. And with her powers as a seer and her dominant wolf, she was well suited for the job.”Thalia understood Brandon’s words, Seers especially dominant seers had a hard personality, they didn’t like to bow to anyone else if the latter wasn&rsqu
The door that was knocked open, slid on the tiled floor. “She is in here. I saw her walking inside in the CCTV recording.“Thalia’s head snapped up, oh no, don’t tell her. She didn’t recognize the voice and she was sure she wasn’t familiar with the scent either. But it could be that Marcus was done waiting, bidding for the correct time to capture her and sent someone after her.“Ah it's so dark in here, what is supposed to be a wolf right? Why does it feel like she was doing some dark magic mumbo jumbo?” “You can never be sure of them, shifters are nasty little things, you know? Snickered the other one.Great. Humans. God just how much do you hate her? She was in no condition to deal with humans. Not while her curse marks were overwhelming her with so much pain that she couldn’t even get a hold of herself. The three humans stalked inside the washroom and flipped open
“There you are.” Brandon rushed towards her as soon as he spoofed her coming out of the restroom. He was sporting a bad cut on his face with a bruised eye, definitely a work of one of those neurotic humans. “Where were you? I came to look for you in the studio but you weren’t there-““I had an emergency.” Thalia didn’t want to talk about the small vision that she had after Brandon had told her about her mother- a chorus of grunts and curses rang behind them and Brandon grasped her wrist, pulling her with him. “Where are we going?”“We are getting out of here.” said Brandon harshly still running as he dragged her with him. “Those bastards won’t stop not without-“ He stopped as he briefly glanced over his shoulder and cursed. “I have already called Carter he is coming. But before that.. we need to get out of here.”Thalia did as he said not breaking th
Many things happened suddenly all at once, One of the shifter hunters lunged at Carter with his gun aiming as he shot.“No.” screamed Thalia but then Brandon came from behind and pushed her down. “Down girl.” He shouted just as three to four bullets whizzed past their head.The scarred faced man lunged past Carter trying to get to her consecutively shooting in their direction when Jake tackled him down and punched him right on the face.A nasty crunch followed by a muffled scream. Then everything turned silent Thalia raised her head and realized that Carter had already shifted back and was stepping on the dismembered head of the hunter while Jake was holding the scarface by the scruff of hi
Once Alice was done with needles, threads, bandages and all that medical shit that made no sense to him, he brought the pale and pallid Thalia back to his room.He laid her down on the bed feeling worse than ever why hadn’t he stopped her from leaving?He should have just stopped her from going to work or maybe he should have at least sent another more compatible and strong enforcer to keep her safe.He laid her down on the bed but still kept his arms tightly around her. He was still reeling in the shock of nearly losing her. He didn’t know how he stopped himself from going berserk - when he found out that the shifter hunters came after her the fear and rage in his body was still quaking like crazy.&nb
