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
Opening the door to the interrogation room Carter went inside -it was just as Jake had said the hunter was dead. Not even an hour have passed but the dark blood trickling from the corner of his mouth have already dried up. Carter gave an indifferent glance to the dead body and then walked out of the room. There was no point in dismantling a dead body, he wanted to keep this hunter alive to satiate the anger that was coursing in his veins but if he was dead then there was no point in letting his wolf play with a corpse. What was the fun in it? Without the screams of agony was there any point in ripping apart a human body? He marched past the corridor of the basement and turned right where the operating room was and sauntered inside raising a brow at Jake and Shayne who seemed to be having an intense discussion. “What’s going on? Did you guys find out anything? Or did you keep that dead body to play fetch?”
“What are you trying to say?” There was a tick going on in Jake’s left eyelid as he held his gaze. If it was someone else the latter’s knees would have buckled under his intent gaze with the Alpha pheromones wafting off his body. “Do you have any idea what you are doing Carter? You are questioning my loyalty as the beta of this pack. In case you have forgotten but I have always done what was in regards to the safety and well being of this pack. I have never ever stepped back even in the face of threat when it came to the protection of the pack.”“And for the sake of this protection you were prepared to let Thalia die?” asked Carter his hands in pocket. He didn’t show any signs of attacking his beta but when Jake stayed silent in a silent agreement he couldn’t stop himself from lunging at his throat. Fingers curled around Jake’s throat he slammed the latter aga
“Caroline.” Carter ambled inside Caroline’s room it wasn’t in his personality to barge into someone’s room no matter what, it would be a blatant show of his unstable emotions that he was being affected by her manipulative schemes behind his back.Which was not something he would like to let Caroline know, the second he finds out that she had the desired effect on him. She will only become more and more ornery like she was being right now. He paused in front of Caroline’s tea table where she was leisurely sipping her tea. He hated it - hated how wrapped up she was in her own self that she just wouldn’t wake up and see what kind of menace she was being to her son.Taking a breath he tried to calm the twisted rage he was feeling, he wanted to rip Caroline’s head apart and see for himself just how can a woman be this much of a calculating, controlling freak. But she was his mother the one who h
