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
"Oh, so he's awake?" Balthazar's question hung in the air as Alex didn't answer it. I didn't answer either, the feeling of being 'caught' somehow made me feel very nervous.Alex stood up from my bed still with a sullen expression. His dark gaze fell on me before turning to Balthazar. "The marks and bruises are almost gone."Balthazar's body stiffened in front of me, clearly angry. "That's right. You've told Caroline apparently." He paused for a moment then took a deep breath. "We'll talk downstairs after I get changed."Balthazar turned around, glancing at me with those gray eyes that were as dark as the weather outside. He opened my bedroom door wide before stepping out of my room. I waited for the sound of Balthazar's footsteps to fade away before turning to Alex again. A smile, though very faint, appeared on his face. He walked towards me and put his arm on my shoulder."I know I shouldn't touch you so much," he muttered as he brushed his lips over the top of my head. "But I'm not
"What?" I whispered sharply. Alex who was just about to eat his roast chicken looked up at Balthazar with his dark, furious expression.Balthazar stared at me, his gray eyes as if warning me to be careful with my speech. "It looks like the werewolves from the Yellowstone Pack caught Dimitri.?"Shit," Alex cursed curtly. But his anger only lasted for a short time, he looked a little relieved when he looked at me again. "But at least the asshole stops bothering Cara." His long sighs and the black eye bags under his eyes made me feel sad. Alex rubbed his tired face with his hands. "I'll turn myself in to Vincent tomorrow.""I've called Vincent to pick you up tomorrow morning" said Balthazar, who immediately replied with an irritated look from Alex. Balthazar pulled one of his black eyebrows up. "My house is not an inn for you."I pressed my lips together tightly while the two men in front of me exchanged irritated looks. Has Dimitri been arrested? It means that Balthazar failed to escort
Well, we did sneak up to meet tonight.More precisely, it was Alex who came to my room. Around two o'clock in the evening after the castle turned quiet, a light knock sounded from my bedroom door and then a male silhouette walked into my room.My eyes blinked at him closing the door tightly and then stepping to the side of my bed. "What is it?" I asked in a hoarse voice as I lifted my body and sat on my bed. Alex touched my face with his big warm hand, I closed my eyes again because I was still very sleepy while enjoying the comfort of his hand.The sound of his breathing was loud enough in the silence of my room. Outside the heavy rain had stopped, leaving only a light drizzle. "Cara, after all this is over ... I want you to come home soon." Alex's deep voice sounded a little fragile that made me open my eyes again and look at him. I think I'm still very sleepy because in the dim light of my room I can see a glint from Alex's slightly glossy eyes, like someone who's about to cry."Go
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.
