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
I didn't hear from Sam again after returning to Seattle. It was the tow truck from the insurance company that took my car wreck. After picking up my things from his apartment he drove me all the way to the animal hospital where I work. At first he wanted to take me to my place of residence, but because I looked doubtful he offered to take me to my place of work.Well, how else ... Even though my instincts trusted him but I lived in modern times and we had only known each other for less than twenty-four hours.The problem is ... I forgot to return the hospital fees that he already paid. Before that I thought of contacting the hospital, at least to get Sam's contact because he was the one taking care of my administration at the time so they must have the contact.But I can't find the hospital. Because I don't have a name I also can't ask my colleagues or look for it on the internet. When I tried to search on google maps, the hospital did not appear. Meaning it wasn't an official hospita
(POV - Sam Hunt)Val didn't show up when the threeEnforcers arrived to interrogate the woman again. I know he's looking for a way to free her, but he's not going to succeed ... because I've made sure that she gets the harshest punishment. What he and his brother did with Dimitri is not something that can be easily forgiven.At first I didn't want to accept it when that woman named Zaya came to our territory to be treated, but Alex had no other choice because he couldn't just let her die after being attacked by Dimitri himself. But I don't think letting him live is the right choice either. Werewolves like women are just like Rogues, they can't be trusted.Unfortunately Caroline Brennan also has the same desire as Val at this time. It seems that he is determined to help the woman escape from the Enforcer's punishment. Even though I'm sure his reasons for helping that woman are very different from Val's, my beta.I don't know when their relationship started. Initially Val was the one wh
"What ... " I muttered in a choked voice, but my eyes were still glued to Chloe. It looked like he had just come from the hospital if seen from the clothes he was wearing at this time, his blue shirt and black pants. In his hands he held a neatly folded white coat."What. You mean. Val." I couldn't hold back the angry growl that came out of my mouth at this moment. Chloe's face immediately turned pale when she heard that. I shifted my gaze to Val, because I didn't want to scare Chloe.Val stood behind the woman's chair, his hand on her shoulder for support. "I know what you're doing, Alpha, therefore I have to prevent it before you regret your decision."'What ... " I replied very slowly. I'm sure my eyes have turned gold by now. Vincent looked at us in succession with an interested expression."Should we postpone today's investigation?" asked Luca carefully. Since he's a member of the Yellowstone Pack too, he already knows the problem between me and Val.I took a deep breath to calm
Mate.I heard that word once when my father's distant relatives came to my mother and me. The uncle said that my mother was not a mate, or a real match, my father ... He explained that every werewolf has one mate for life. I was too young then to understand its meaning, but now that explanatory line is ringing in my head again."Yes. You are my mate."Sam's words made me slump in my seat. He only glanced at me for a moment because his attention had to return to the road in front of him. His confession made my stomach feel nervous, but I couldn't ignore the fear tucked into my heart too ..."So ... what is mate doing?" I asked in a low voice.Sam didn't answer me for a few moments. The car we were driving through the road that was getting dark."Do you have time? I can't talk about it while driving," he replied.We can't chat in a restaurant, can we? Our chat is vulnerable to being overheard by other people in public places. Where can we chat freely without having to worry about it?Th
"Oh my god, I've never felt like this before," she whispered breathlessly.Me too, I thought in amazement. I felt a shy smile form on my face at this time. "Are there any other conditions?" I ask after Sam pulls his face away, but our fingers are still intertwined."I have to give my mark to you," he replied, smiling until his face looked even more handsome."Mark?"He gave a small nod. "My bite mark that I will put on your neck" he continued. "That's a hallmark between mates, and that mark will stick forever in-""Wa- Wait a minute, you're going to bite me?" I let go of my hand and took a step back once. "Are you kidding me?"Sam shook his head. He came closer and held my hand again. "I won't do it if you're not ready" he replied in a soothing voice."What happened after you bit me?" I asked again. "Am I going to turn into a werewolf too?""No, Chloe. You do have half werewolf blood ... But unfortunately neither of your parents are mate. Only the children of a mate or fellow werewolf
The next day Sam took me to visit Portland and the Pack. At first I was hesitant because this relationship was moving too fast. But he promised that he would only show me around Portland and his Pack area, without introducing me to his Pack members.I still don't understand what Alpha really is, but it looks like Sam is the leader of the Pack. He picked me up early in the morning around eight, even though it was almost a three hour drive from Portland to Seattle.The long trip felt short when I was with Sam. We arrived in Portland at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon and then we immediately had lunch at a grilled ribs restaurant for half an hour and then continued our journey around the small town, as promised.I opened the car window and took a deep breath. The fresh scent of the forest immediately wafted into my nose, at this time we were passing through streets flanked by forests on either side."Where next?" I asked, turning my head and smiling broadly at Sam. He turned around
Sam still looked uncomfortable when we were on our way to his residence. I was totally confused as to why a man as big and tall as Sam could be made to act awkwardly by a fifteen year old teenager."Does Daniel live with his parents in the castle?" I asked, turning to him. The car we drove off the forest-lined track headed toward the outskirts of Portland."Balthazar lives alone there," he replied after a moment's silence."Huh? Alone?" I stared at him in disbelief."He lives in that place alone?"Sam nodded briefly. "Balthazar ... not as young as you think, Chloe.""How old is he?" I replied. We entered the basement parking of an apartment building and Sam drove his car slower to find an empty parking spot."I'll tell you his age after you become my mate" he said with a smile and then unbuckled his seat belt. His mysterious smile made me even more curious."How old is he? Seventeen?" I said after we got out of the car and walked to the lobby. Sam took my hand then lifted him to kiss
Looks like Gabriel Adler is a little desperate after failing to blackmail us.A pinch of satisfaction that appeared made me smile at him, this time my smile was truly sincere unlike before. Of courseGabriel returned my smile with an angry look that he tried to contain."Guarding and hiding someone is not an easy thing ... " I muttered, deliberately enjoying his gloomy attitude mixed with anger. "Especially with my current situation."I had planned to recruit Cameron into the Pack I was about to found, but luckily I hadn't offered it to him yet.'Quickly say what you want."Look at this damn thing ... You don't know yourself, before he himself was stalling for time now he's trying to push me.I glanced at the two Pack members chatting in the communal room while occasionally glancing back at me andGabriel. Even though they greeted me kindly but everyone still kept their distance from me after I came back here."We'll talk in Alex's study." Gabriel followed me from behind as I headed u
Doctor Pack gave specific instructions that Alex should stay in bed for the next three days, at least until the broken bones in his leg and several fractured ribs begin to regenerate. Luckily his other injuries had turned into faint bruises in just a night.I thought last night's injuries and events would make Alex more submissive and docile than usual ... but I was so wrong.Even though I was stuck in bed for almost twenty four hours straight, Alex still kept bugging me about last night's incident, more specifically, he repeatedly made me say every detail and part where Viktor 'touched me'.At first I understood his anger but after a while I felt annoyed because the anger was now starting to target me. Being next to him almost drives me crazy myself."Alex, Viktor is dead. What else do you want?!" I exclaimed when I saw the furious expression on his face."You shouldn't have chased him! Do you know what he would have done if the seal didn't kill him?!"I had told him about the seal t
'Victor!" My shrill scream pierced the silence of this forest. I didn't expect him to stop when he heard my voice but the sound of his footsteps stopped instantly when he heard my voice. I easily caught up with him then I stopped a few meters behind him without making a sound.We are currently in the deepest part of this forest. It's already quite far from Alex's crash site, I think it's safe enough if I release my Leykan power here.Viktor turned slowly in the darkness of this forest and stared at me without expression. His semi-naked muscular body was still tensing up, preparing to fight me.Why didn't he transform into his wolf form, the question flashed through my head but I didn't have time to think about it further.My Leykan power is already at its limit and I can't suppress it any longer.Just like when I attacked Alex the first time, the atmosphere around us turned even more sinister than before. A strong wind blew so that the trees around it shook violently. The forest that
Her sudden anger made me freeze for a moment in shock.Alex was still standing clutching my shoulders with his hands that were still shaking a little. From this close distance I could see his pale face filled with worry and anger."It looks like you're very busy so I decided to go home ... " I answered in a half whisper.Her two golden brown eyes closed instantly as her tense jaw continued to throb. "I thought you left me again" he growled before opening his eyes again. A few strands of her brown hair fell to cover her eyes which at this time looked terrible."Alex, how many times have I told you? I will never leave you again."Actually, I'm also a bit angry myself because her trust in me is only limited to this, but at the same time I also understand her feelings. I took a deep breath and knelt down to hug his neck.I'm sorry" I mumbled, kissing his neck briefly. "I was just about to call you to tell you."Looks like Ihave to buy a new phone soon.His tensed body slowly relaxed and t
I should have been able to anticipate the responses of the four people sitting in front of me. Even Vincent who had previously heard of my plan returned to his gloomy face while shaking his head.I glanced at Jake, Alex, and Balthazar in turn and then cleared my throat to break the tense atmosphere that permeated the room. "Of course once I announce myself as Leykan and they can accept me, I will step down from the Alpha position."Jake glared at me, the expression on his face clearly saying are-you're-mad. I know my plan sounds a little crazy and risky. So far there has never been a female Alpha, let alone a Leykan, leading a pack of werewolves.Not to mention that I have to meet the minimum requirements for setting up a new Pack which is quite difficult to fulfill. In addition to having territories and ten members, a new Pack must also have the approval of at least six other Alphas as the total of all Packs in the country is twelve.Well, if all goes well I've got five Alpha endorse
As I was about to follow the two Vincent grabbed my shoulder to hold me down. "We should talk too, Caroline.""Then you two just talk together first, I'll stop by Pack's house," said Evelyn which I waved my hand back.I waited for him to walk away before turning to my uncle again, pulling my eyebrows up and looking at his crumpled, bruised face. "Balthazar really beat you up, huh ? "Vincent groaned in annoyance then brushed his hand through his brown hair. "He just misunderstood, I also did not know the ring was actually his."I folded my arms across my chest and tilted my head briefly at the large oak tree across from Pack's driveway. "So ... Balthazar is my father?" I asked while walking towards the tree with him.Vincent didn't answer my question right away. We stopped under a shady oak tree while the morning sun illuminates all corners of this large courtyard. I sat down on the grass while Vincent stood with his back against the big trunk of this tree."I don't know ... " he mutt
One of my hands slipped through his slightly wet hair with sweat. Alex hasn't moved an inch to give my body time to adjust.Her eyes were tightly closed while her ragged breaths were getting more and more irregular. I can't imagine what he's feeling right now, but I understand he's trying to keep himself from hurting me.Her attitude touched me. I know for an Alpha, controlling himself is not easy.The drizzle outside had turned into heavy rain, the sound of water droplets hitting the window glass muffled the sound of my breathing which was starting to return to normal.I put my palm on his pounding chest, Alex opened his eyes again with a panicked look. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"I dragged my hand to his face and caressed it briefly. "You don't have to hold back like this, Alex."His erection throbbed violently at my words but Alex didn't move from his position at all. He took a deep breath then let it out slowly. "I want this moment to be perfect for you" he mumbled before kiss
I don't think there's anything else that can surprise me because I've known him for dozens of years. But apparently there is still a side of Alex that I have never seen from him before.My raised hand only lasted for a few seconds before Alex lunged at me. He moved so fast that I had to pull my hand again because of my instincts.For a moment a sense of surprised fear welled up within me, but that feeling faded on its own as I felt his warm and large body embrace me carefully.I don't know where the tingling feeling that tickled my chest came from, I couldn't hold back the laughter that escaped my lips. Alex who previously buried his face in my hair finally pulled himself to look at me."Ah, sorry" I said before laughing again. His face that looks really confused makes me even more amused. "Just now you looked like you wanted to pounce on me, your too serious face made me want to laugh."Alex snorted while raising his eyebrows, pretending to be offended. I raised my hand to tidy up a
Alex was standing in front of the bathroom door with an unreadable expression on his face. His gaze descended on my body which was only clad in his oversized black shirt and then stopped for a moment as he stared at my bare feet.He cleared his throat before pulling his gaze back to my face. At least now he doesn't look like he's pounced on me anymore."Ah, I didn't find my old clothes in the cupboard" I explained when he looked again at the shirt I was wearing."Mum cleaned it up when she visited Pack's house" Alex replied before stepping back so I could get out of the bathroom.'O- Oh." I awkwardly stepped out while pulling the hem of the shirt that covered part of my thigh."Cara, sorry ... I couldn't control myself before." His cautious tone made my nervousness vanish instantly. A guilty look that looked sincere appeared on his handsome face. "I understand you're not ready, I shouldn't have forced you."I tried to ignore my slight disappointment when I heard his last words. Argh.
