This conversation with Balthazar tonight has been hanging over me so much that I can't concentrate on what Jake and Vincent are telling me. Jake snapped at me right away when I got to Pack's house, but I just listened in passing. After taking a shower I headed straight to my study to hear from Vincent on the next investigation into Edward Adler's death.

Making Vincent a member of the Enforcer was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

"I can't believe you're daydreaming when I came to you and waited for you for two hours."

Vincent's grunts distracted me from Balthazar. "What?" I asked, looking up at him.

Vincent looked irritated but he just sighed when he met my gaze. Even Vincent was being sympathetic to me right now. I smiled weakly to myself. "Sorry, I'm a bit unfocused today" I said to the two of them.

Jake looked at me with an understanding nod, while Vincent just rolled his eyes but he didn't reply me with his usual sarcastic answer.

"I was just explaining about Edward Adler'

    "Dad we need to talk" I mumbled to him then led him into my study which is on the third floor while Jake was still explaining about the Stratovskys and where they might live. Without speaking Dad followed me from behind. To be honest we haven't talked much about Cara and her identity as a pure-blooded Leykan.I know Dad needs time to digest everything. After all my grandfather, Theodore Brennan, was one of the originators of the movement to hunt down and exterminate the Leykan. So my father grew up with teachings to always hate and hunt Leykan. Even though the teachings were not passed down to me because so far the Leykan have been considered extinct.I opened my office door and let him in. Dad sat down first on one of the black couches and then I sat across from him. Dad hasn't asked how Cara is even in the last month, but Mum keeps asking about Cara's progress so it seems like Dad knows it from Mum too.I looked at my father who still looked young like a man who was about to turn fo

    My hand that was about to knock on the door stopped when my ears caught a faint laugh from the backyard of Balthazar's castle. The voice sounded like music to my ears. For a few seconds my legs felt difficult to move, I closed my eyes to control my emotions at this time.Today has finally come.Jake has taken over my duties for the day so I can spend time with Cara. I hadn't told him about Balthazar's request that I stay away from Cara for a year, but Jake didn't protest like he had before when I said I'd be taking a full day off. I guess he himself has had enough of seeing my somber face these past few days. Or maybe Jake thought meeting Cara would change my mood, which is why he let me go.I tried to persuade myself, repeating Balthazar's words in my head all night. But no matter how many times I tried to tell myself that this was the best path for us, in the end I still gave up. I couldn't imagine Cara's response in my head.The only thing that managed to make me appear in this pla

    At first Cara stiffened slightly in surprise when she felt our lips touch, but over time her tiny body relaxed in my arms. His lips kissed me gently, this time I let him lead our kiss while enjoying it slowly so it doesn't end quickly. One of my other hands is on his back to hold him while my other hand is still behind his head.Cara's kiss was soft and wet, her warm breath brushed against my face. He wasn't as hasty as I was, his kisses felt like hesitant exploration then slowly turning bolder. His lips and mine together to share the sensation andsoft passion, occasionally his lips kiss mine before my tongue slowly opened it impatiently. As our tongues brushed against each other, electricity shot through my body. I vaguely wondered to myself if Cara felt the same way I did.The smell of grass and sun mixed withCara's scent in my arms. A few strands of her hair fell to the side of my face and tickled me. At this moment I forgot all the problems that surrounded us, the only thing on m

    This silent atmosphere only lasted for three seconds because of the arrival of Cara who had just entered the kitchen. Balthazar turned around and walked over to the sink to rinse those damn tomatoes."What is it?" he whispered as he stood beside me, "Why is the atmosphere so awkward ... "I turned to her, the lavender scent of her soap wafting from her body. My gaze fell on her current attire. Balthazar was right, Cara was trying to cover the nape of her neck. Currently he was wearing a high-collared shirt with all the buttons tightly closed, even though he usually always unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt."Nothing, looks like Balthazar is just being sensitive today" I replied deliberately in a neutral voice so that the person we were talking about could hear too. Cara poked my arm with her elbow before walking over to Balthazar to help her. They chatted for a while, while I haven't moved from my place since earlier. From behind, the two looked nothing alike. But I myself do

    Cara's lips were as sweet and soft as ever, but every time our lips touched a pleasant electric shock coursed through my body. Makes me want to touch it every time I see it. I traced his lips slowly then bit his lips gently to open it before slipping the tip of my tongue at a glance. Our hearts were both pounding violently, as if melting into one and rhythm.Cara tucked her fingers under my head and squeezed my curls. Her sighs mixed with her soft sighs. The sweet smell of strawberries mingled with the scent of her soft skin, my hand that was still on her shoulder moved to her jawline. I want to kiss these lips forever ... only these lips, I thought before kissing them deeper with more passion.Mate. Mine.That's just what kept repeating in my head. For a moment I almost forgot my main goal at this time. His neck ... I have to unbutton his shirt. But as the thought crossed, Cara's tongue caressed mine until I forgot about her again. I pushed my body until our bodies were touching each

    (POV - Caroline Brennan)I know the reason behind Alex's shocked face yesterday is because of the mark on my neck. I looked at the reflection of my naked body in the bathroom, water still dripping from the ends of my hair because I had just finished showering. The base of my neck looks like it's rotting from the inside, even though my skin looks and feels fine but the area around Alex's mark is turning gray and almost black. Tiny purple vein-like strokes adorned the surroundings to make my neck look hideous.Idon't know when this black bruise turned to this terrible, when I woke up two weeks ago this bruise did look more intense than before but I ignored it until it suddenly became like this.Of course I tried to hide it from Balthazar, sometimes I covered it with bandages or with closed clothes. But I'm sure actually Balthazar already noticed it, only he pretended not to see it. With a gloomy face I averted my eyes and began to dry my body with a towel.I was supposed to start traini

    "Is this because of the bruise on my neck yesterday?" I asked in a trembling voice. There's nothing wrong with my eyes already feeling hot.Alex gritted his jaw a little then his eyebrows furrowed for a moment like someone who was in pain but trying to hide it. "No- Cara, we'd better sit down first," he offered, his voice suddenly softening. He pulled my shoulder gently towards one of the sofas in this library.He sat next to me but there was quite a distance between us. That's when I knew things weren't going to be okay. I stared at the empty space between us with my burning eyes before looking at Alex again. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked in a small voice.Alex licked his dry lips briefly. "Cara-Caroline, I don't know how to tell you .. "I waited in piercing silence. Alex turned his eyes from me to the carpet beneath me, He didn't even want to look at me. Every second that passes feels like torture to me."During the past few weeks, while we have been temporarily apart,

    When I opened my eyes again suddenly I was in my dark room. My whole body felt sore and hot. For a moment I felt relieved because I woke up from my nightmare just now, but that relief only lasted a few minutes ... Because slowly I realized all these nightmares were indeed my life.The base of my neck feels like it's on fire, when I touch it my skin feels hot and wet. With a slight stagger I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom and turned on the light. My eyes blinked because of the bright light. I unbuttoned the knitted turtleneck I was wearing and brushed my hair back to reveal the base of my neck.The color is still almost blackish gray and is now widening until it almost spreads to my collarbone. The purple streaks that surrounded it were also getting longer, this strangebruise seemed to be growing inside me.I'm still not entirely sure but deep inside I can guess what's triggering these growths of bruises and scars ...Alex.The heavy and tight feeling returned to my chest wh

    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.
