His hands were warm to my face, but Alex's were different. Dimitri's warmth only made my heart feel colder.He sighed then pulled his hand away from me after seeing my frightened response. "Caroline, you are a pure-blooded Leykan ... But why do you always look scared every time you see me?" he asked in surprise. He combed his black hair with one hand and sat down on the back of the sofa.What he said had some truth to it, but right now I was still as weak as a human. And I can't use my power carelessly, because the consequence is that my seal will be released and my power can explode without my noticing it."What are you doing here?" I continued without taking my attention away from him."Alex Brennan and the others are scouting their territory right now ... so where is the safest hiding place for me if not this house?" he asked bluntly."Alex isn't that stupid, Dimitri .. " I retorted."But he didn't notice when I snuck into your room this morning ... Or before," he muttered still wi
We had dinner with Jake, Reagan, Dane, and some of the other Pack members who were helping in the search for Dimitri. Even Annelise also helped search. Everyone looks tired and somber while eating. Luca and Alpha Sam immediately returned to their territory after the search was over.Of course they were grim, Dimitri had disappeared like a ghost.Alex looked a little tense, but he tried to improve the mood at the dinner table by discussing lighter things. I wasn't hungry at all, so I just swiped the food on my plate with my fork.Because everyone was feeling tired, we immediately rested after dinner. Jake had asked me about meeting with Balthazar, I gave the same answer I gave Alex earlier. But I promise I'll tell you everything tomorrow afternoon."I have to go to my study in a minute to get my jacket," Alex said suddenly. I followed him until we got to the third floor."Alex .. " he croaked.Alex stopped before he reached the door of his study, then he turned to face me with a questi
Our kiss was interrupted by loud banging on the bedroom door. Alex pulled his face then looked at me while panting, without realizing we were both lying on the bed. Alex who was above me closed his eyes for a moment then pulled his body away from me and rushed to open the door with a little hard."What?!" he snapped angrily."Al-Alpha, your parents' house is on fire!" answered the voice. I jumped out of bed and immediately grabbed the jacket that was slung on the dresser chair. Alex turned to me but I was already behind him."Come on," I said, walking ahead of him and the Pack members who were standing in front of us. My heart was pounding really hard inside my chest, but I tried to stay calm ."Have our parents left yet?" I asked Jake who was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs."They're fine, just a little in shock," Jake replied with a strained face. "Let me drive," he continued. We followed Jake into the Pack's parking area. Several members of the Pack who had woken up acc
(POV - Sam Hunt)Bastard squirrel.Growling my gaze followed the last squirrel that managed to escape from me. They don't have a lot of meat and are very hard to catch. Rabbits are so much better than those damn squirrels, rabbits can't climb trees anyway. Just like us. By 'we' I mean me and my wolf.Werewolf.We live in the same body, it's just that my wolf mind is more dominant when it transforms into its natural form ... wolf. When we return to being human, then my mind will dominate our body.Back to the previous problem. Did I say I hate squirrels? Well, my wolf really likes those little squirrels. In fact, squirrels are his favorite animal. Somehow the harder the animal is to catch, my wolf likes it more. Dusk is the best time to hunt, after the last rays of the sun have disappeared and a few minutes before the moon appears in the sky.Wait a minute ... What's this smell? I lifted my snout in the air and sniffed around me. Smoke? Oil ... human blood ... and gasoline? And ... som
"How is the condition?" I asked moments after I'd brought her into the private suite of Pack Yellowstone's hospital.This hospital is a 3 story building located on the outskirts of Portland, from the outside this building looks like a private apartment but inside is the hospital owned by Pack which I lead.With a membership of nearly two hundred werewolves we have our own public facilities in our remote little town as it is almost an hour away by car to the nearest human city.Around our territory there are only a few farms, plantations, and forests in Black Valley National Park. Of course a few tourists pass through our town every now and then, but as long as we can hide our werewolf forms I guess it shouldn't matter.In short, coexistence with humans is not a problem for us.Dr. David Burns is the primary physician at the hospital and Alpha's personal physician.He is also the one who will take care of that woman, whose name I still don't know, if she really is my mate. The wolf ins
(POV - Chloe Miller)"How can a dog get that big?" I asked a bit shocked.In all my years studying veterinary medicine I had never seen a dog that big, I think it was a Siberian Husky but almost 1.5 times the size of an adult Great Dane.The large man, wearing a hospital gown this time, stopped where he was in shock. One hand holds a glass filled with water."Did I just imagine it?" I continued, raising one hand to examine my head.Hallucinations are one of the side effects of a concussion."You'd better have a drink first," he said before holding out the glass in his hand. I received it then drank the cold water from the glass a few sips while trying to organize my thoughts."Ouch!" I screamed as I bent down to set a glass on the bedside table, I think the bruises on some of my ribs were worse than my head because it hurt so much when I bent down."Are you okay?" he asked, grabbing my arms to help me out. "Don't move much as long as the bruise is fresh."This man was probably a nurse
We chatted for a while because a few minutes later Dr. Burns had been called out again by one of the nurses.But Dr. Burns, isn't he a vet? I think still a bit confused. Sam was still looking at me, it seemed he was waiting for my question. But seeing his handsome face makes me a little uncomfortable, I myself have not seen what my face looks like right now. I have so many questions I'd like to ask him, but I have more pressing matters than those questions ..."Oh, no. My car ... " I muttered in horror to myself. I just paid off my car loan, so I guessI can still claim insurance ... but still insurance only covers up to eighty percent of the car's price. I still have to cover twenty percent at my own expense."What's wrong, Chloe?" asked Sam when he heard my groan."My car ... Ah, that's okay. Looks like I have to get out of here asap" I said as I raised my hand to press the button on my bedside to call the nurse. Judging from the comfort of this room, it looks like I'm currently in
Sam immediately stepped in front of me, his large body covering me from the wolf's gaze that was walking towards us. My hands gripped his shirt in panic. I just realized this hospital is surrounded by dense forest Black Valley National Park, there is only one narrow road access that only one car can pass.I tugged at Sam's shirt so he would back away with me, but he didn't budge an inch from his spot. "Sam!" I screamed when I heard the low growl of the wolf. I peeked over Sam's back. The wolf was grinning at Sam so that its sharp teeth showed through."Val. It's none of your business. Go." Sam growled back, but his voice sounded so much deeper than before that it gave me the creeps. His body tensed in front of me until for a moment I thought he would attack the wolf with his bare hands. But to my surprise the wolf stopped grinning then lowered his head while whining a little."Go!" snapped Sam to which the wolf immediately responded by turning and darting into the woods again. My mout
