Again, I know going to see Dimitri alone would be stupid.I stared at the dark ceiling of my room while lying on my bed. Balthazar had returned from his night patrol about an hour ago. The clock opposite me showed half past two in the morning while I waited, listening for a sound that indicated Balthazar had not slept.It was still drizzling outside and interspersed with a fairly strong night wind, I could hear the occasional sound of raindrops hitting my bedroom window.After making sure Balthazar was asleep, I pulled my blanket and got off my bed. I took the parka I had prepared on the small couch and put it on before putting on my shoes and tying my long hair. Don't forget I also put a small flashlight in my park pocket.I can't go out through the castle door because Balthazar must be able to hear it, so the only way is through the window of this room. I pushed aside the heavy curtains that covered one of the windows in this room, then my hand carefully unlocked the window latch an
"Balthazar?" called me in horror. He stepped out from the side Dimitri had been staring at, his angry smile on me. He wasn't wearing pajamas, but a thick black jacket and matching pants. It seems he knew I was gone from the start ... "Don't move from where you are," he threatened suddenly before turning to Dimitri, still wearing his angry smile. "Haven't you guys ever been taught manners? You and Viktor have no manners either, have you." Dimitri certainly looked tensed, but the expression on his face was calm at the moment. "Sorry, my current situation doesn't give me the freedom to be polite," he replied in a low voice. I don't know if what he said was just sarcasm or real. Balthazar walked next to me, his body did look relaxed but the domineering aura emanating from him at this moment made me want to stay away from him. "So what's the pay, Dimitri?" I stared at Dimitri too, his different colored eyes looking expressionlessly at Balthazar. "You have nothing to do in this matter,"
"Remember carefully, Caroline, your identity as Leykan depends on your scent and aura" Balthazar explained that morning in the backyard of his castle. "Alphas have an aura of domination, because they were born to lead. Then there are Betas in the number two position, but they were not appointed from birth because they were chosen by Alpha. Then there are the members of the Pack, and the last one is Omega.""So Omega has the lowest rank in thePack?" I asked with a frown. The only Omega I knew was Edward Adler's daughter, but I never met her in person."No" he replied quietly. "Omegaes being weakcreatures is a very wrong notion, I've already told you. Omegas have hidden talents of their own-" He paused then looked up at the bright blue sky in annoyance. "What is clear, as Leykan you can put yourself in two positions, as Alpha or Omega. Or even in between both at the same time.""I ... don't understand," I replied, confused.We will start intense training to hide my Leykan scent today,
Vincent's warning kept ringing in my head until Balthazar decided to stop the training because I couldn't concentrate. I still feel irritated by her words because I think of all people, she is the one who understands my reasoning the best."Do I look that weak?!" I grumbled angrily as I followed him up the stairs to the third floor. Balthazar didn't answer me, so I continued my grumbling again. "He thought I was going to fall in love with Dimitri that easily. After all, he himself supported Alex and his plan to pretend to leave me!"This time Balthazar responded to me with a sigh."Even though he really hated Alex before." I clenched my fists tightly, still following Balthazar through the hall to his library."Maybe he thinks Alex is much better than Dimitri Stratovsky" Balthazar replied calmly.glared at him and furrowed my brows. "Didn't I say I would never fall in love with Dimitri? Didn't anyone hear what I said when I said it?"Balthazar stopped holding the doorknob and turned to
"What is it?" I asked with an uneasy feeling. The two of them were still staring at me while listening to the howling outside that sounded like calling for a long time. "Who's that?" I whispered to Balthazar.No one answered my question.I turned to look at the window in the kitchen, looking at the light from the lamp at the edge of the lake and into the darkness of the forest beyond. The wolf's howling had now stopped. But my heart still feels awkward, the howling voice calling ... I don't know what this is just my feelings, but the wolf seems to be calling me."Balthazar ... what's that-" My question was interrupted by the sound of the wolf's howl again, this time closer than before."Stupid policy, It'll only cause a ruckus in this place," he muttered with an annoyed snort. Balthazar stood up angrily and started walking towards the back door followed by Dimitri and finally myself. He opened his castle door wide and went out towards the lake. I meant to follow him but was blocked by
"Stop it, Caroline," Balthazar scolded in a commanding voice. Instantly all my strength disappeared and the tense atmosphere around us gradually returned to normal. I looked up at him slightly confused due to my Leykan power following Balthazar's orders more easily than my own.Dimitri slumped to the grass below, out of breath, while Alex managed to get back up, albeit with a sore frown."You mean to kill them?" Balthazar's jerk brought my attention back to him. He still looks angry."No! Of course not," I said defensively. "I can't control-"Use!My body fell hit by Alex who suddenly ran towards me. My back hit the grass and dirt of the yard pretty hard, but Alex's hand shielded my head from the impact. All my breath was blown out of my lungs as Alex's heavy body pressed against me. The smell of sweat and pine and a hint of mud wafted from his hot, hard, muscular body."Al- Alex, I can't breathe." My whisper was met with a muffled growl as he buried his face in the nape of my neck an
His lips and hands moved to touch me together possessively. I was trapped between Alex's body and my bedroom wall. Can't run away from him ... I don't want to run away from him.My hands crawled over his chest until a growling sound mixed with deep moans came out from between his lips that colonized me. Alex's whole body felt hard and very warm. One of my hands kept moving up to the back of her neck and then through her curls.Alex pushed me against the wall until our bodies pressed against each other, melting into one. My heart pounded wildly and erratically as passion and agonizing longing mixed together, clouding my senses. All I want right now is him, as much and as close as possible.Alex's tongue caressed mine impatiently before biting my lip hard enough to make me groan. One of his hands slipped under the long-sleeved shirt I was wearing, I could feel the warmth of his big palm on my stomach slowly tracing the bare skin under my shirt.My hunting breath turned into a ragged roa
Alex's body felt tense and hard beneath me. He closed his eyes and frowned briefly before finally looking at me again. Luckily I still have common sense, I pushed my body away from him but suddenly Alex's hands held my waist so I fell back into his warm embrace."I've dreamed about this hundreds of times in my head," he said in a deep, guttural voice."Me- Dreaming of what?" my reply was a bit stammered. My body squirmed in his tight embrace, but I realized my mistake when a painful frown crossed his face again. After that I didn't dare to move my body anymore."Holding you this tight, Cara," he answered softly. One of his large hands moved down my back.I pulled the corners of my lips down.Outside the sound of raindrops now turned into a pretty heavy storm. "Then why did you leave me so easily, Alex?" My voice sounded bitter, I didn't want to pretend to hide my feelings anymore."You know what the reason is."I snorted angrily in response. "So you decided on your own without telling
