Thalia’s eyes snapped open, cold sweat beaded her back. She had no goddamn fucking idea what her mother meant but Thalia was sure of one thing whatever her mother had planned, didn’t work because even years later she wasn’t free - they weren’t free. No wonder Carter had brought her back here, let his entire pack bully her before giving her a little taste of sweetness maybe this was his own f*cked up plan to let lure her in before making her fall and crush her apart.
And he succeeded, he slowly but surely crumbled every wall that she had around her heart.. well that wasn’t entirely right either because she never had a choice about letting him in or not, no... Carter had swaggered right in her life, sledgehammered the walls she built around her heart to keep her fragile little heart safe before carving a comfy place in there that solely belonged to him.
Now the very thought that he might have done it to see her crushed left a bit
Runaway? Yeah right. Thalia kicked the front of the car out of frustration. Because Carter had hardly driven this SUV, it wasn’t sent for servicing like the hummer which was why Thalia was stranded in the middle of nowhere after the stupid car broke down. Thalia looked left and right, she was pretty much the only pedestrian on the road which was good given that she had hunters on her neck and Carter on her back.Thalia shuffled through her duffle bag and she only had twenty dollars and some clothes, these twenty dollars will get her nowhere. She leaned against the car that was parked on the street and tried to steady her breath that was getting out of frenzy as she realized what she had done.She was an idiot, a fucking idiot.Why did she have to choose a car that was hardly used and why in the world did she leave the credit card Carter had given her? Apparently, her stupid pride to take the high road will only push her to her death even
Carter was here.“ So now what? Want me to open the door?” Dominic asked looking quite relaxed as if it wasn’t his door that was being banged like he hadn’t paid his rent for months. He continued to stretch out his hand, taking a handful of chips before popping them all in his mouth “ you better think it through girl, because if that hulk breaks my door I will be wanting compensation for it”Yup, a total gentleman his priorities were f*cking straight.“Open the door sugar, I know you are in there” chuckled Carter contrary to his silky, smooth tone that carried a hint of humourless laughter, the banging on the door was like a beast was standing outside yearning for their blood. It was a voice that chilled her to her bones, Thalia closed her eyes, breathing hard. And when she closed them, she saw could feel the anger that was radiating off Carter through the pack link, it was brutally filled with such truculenc
Thalia expected Carter to begin yelling the second they were out of Dominic’s door but he didn’t instead he kept dragging her. He remained silent throughout the entire journey to the parking lot, his silence was worse than his rage and as his grip on her hand tightened when she tried to yank it away from his grip, she knew that she was in a whole lot of trouble.“ you are hurting me” she snapped, the silence was biting. She wanted him to scream, raze anything that will show what was going on in his f*cked up head but he was too silent …a bit too silent and that scared her, in her entire plan being caught up by Carter wasn’t in and now Thalia had no idea how to this situation in her favour.In the parking lot, she could see three SUVs parked on the curb, from the many silhouettes that she saw through the windows let her know that Carter didn’t just come to look for her. No, he came hunting for her.. he actually mobilized every
Thalia tensed every muscle in her body locked up, she pushed against him trying to get away from him. She needed space but it was just her bad luck that Carter didn’t want to play the niche guy anymore, he didn’t let her go. Her mind was blank ..and she couldn’t think straight, he had gotta be kidding right? He had to be. Only he didn’t look like he was, that determined glint in his eyes clearly told her that he was serious, but she couldn’t believe it, there was no way the moon Goddess would make such a cruel joke right? She shook her head in denial “ No, it ..it can’t be. There is no way.,.. you can’t be”Carter laughed hard, but his grip on her arms was so harsh that he almost crumbled her bones, he jerked her straight and pulled her close until she was looking at him, nor past him or anywhere else for the matter. Her vision was full of Carter and Carter alone “ Sucks doesn’t it? Having a savag
“ Carter, wait” Thalia’s spine stiffened when Carter pushed her down on the bed, startled she looked at him but couldn’t hold that gaze for any longer. There was so much anger in those eyes that it burned her skin, she had done not a thing wrong .. that was what she believed all along and that was her only straw, her only belief that held her together against everything and everyone. The marks on her body were enough to make her look like a sinner and those who saw her, knew her believed it.. but Thalia always had a firm belief, that she never wronged anyone, the curse that she got was simply unethical and she didn’t deserve to suffer like this yet now all her credence and faith was being blown up into smithereens.Carter, of course, didn’t wait, instead, he loomed over her covering her body with his“ Do you know how hard it was for me? Hmm, sugar?” He repositioned her head so that she was looking at his face again, right
The loud snap of the whip on his back and the chains abrading his wrists, red hot pain roaring in his head as the claws dug in his scalp. The familiar rage and hatred pumped in his veins, a haunting voice murmured in his ears, the chilling taunts and the cold arctic blue eyes glaring down at him. The smell of blood and anger clogging the air - Carter sat upright in his bed, breathing heavily. The hatred and anger that was pent up in his heart clouded his mind. His wolf, paced back and forth releasing his own enraging growl, just as it lunged at the surface.Carter didn’t have these nightmares often, it was only when something or someone triggered the memories of his last that he would be like this- he closed his eyes to even out his breath just as his wolf realised that it was nothing more but a nightmare and settled in his pacing. He turned to look at the empty space beside him and released a frustrated snarl, he really couldn’t understand women, espe
Carter would be lying if he said that Jake’s one sentence flipped his entire world upside down. It wasn’t funny, it wasn’t at all funny- his way of dealing with the torment that he suffered was to blame, yes blame. As long as he could balance out his emotions, by putting the blame on Lydia, he would be completely fine but what if his tormentor became a victim? What was he supposed to do then? How was he going to blame her when he knew what she went through?“ You are lying, right?” He has to be lying. Because there was no way he would be able to cope with what Jake just told him- this has to be a lie-“ I wish I was..” Jake rubbed his eyes, he must have been tired after doing all that Sherlock Holmes shit. But Carter wasn’t thankful in the least, he didn’t want to know that the truth that he thought was a fact would become the fabrications that he made to save his childhood self? Was he supposed to praise Jake for f
“ She is talking and I am listening,” replied Thalia “ You might not have heard about it but thats how a logical conversation is held, well at least between people who actually listens to others”Carter winced. Yeah, he kind of deserved that “ I know you are angry and I am sorry that I took you by surprise like that but I really had no other choice. I don’t want you running away from me thats why I kept things away from you”“ Aww, thats so sweet” Kim whispered as she wiped the nonexistent tears on her face “ I would have never thought that he had it in him”Carter sighed and crouched down, patting Thalia’s hair. “ Get up sugar, let me bring you back to our lodge.”“ We can’t do that” said Thalia, her voice full of anxiousness.“ Why not?”“ I need to blow Alex up into smithereens with Kim”“ You don&rsqu
