The meeting with Dimitri went by quicker than I expected. Two hours only feels like thirty minutes to me. Even though all we talked about was trivial matters from the books in Balthazar's library to his newly planted tulip garden.

But on second thought, it turns out we were only chatting about Balthazar ...

As he had agreed with Balthazar earlier, Dimitri returned home after the two hours were over. He politely said goodbye, he even managed to ignore Balthazar's sarcastic remarks who told him tobring cake for him again at the next meeting.

We watched him walk toward the forest until his towering body disappeared between the rows of dense trees. For a while Balthazar and I stood in the courtyard of his castle in silence until he finally opened his mouth again.

"What do you think?" he asked in a low voice.

"Very strange."

He nodded in agreement and then stared at the forest with narrowed eyes. "Very, very strange. What were you two talking about earlier?"

"You" I replied simply. For now

    Our first destination this afternoon is an electronics store because I need a laptop and portable wifi. Balthazar didn't bat an eye while paying for my groceries, as if he had just bought me candy instead of a very expensive laptop. Even though I already felt bad for asking him to pay for something that was quite expensive.Maybe for him the value of the laptop I just bought was nothing.It rained quite heavily when we had dinner at a restaurant that was quite luxurious and quiet. For this one, Balthazar himself chose his place. I think he's been to this place with Alpha Sam before. Visitors who come are welcome to choose where to have dinner in a private booth or in a more open bar area. Of course Balthazar chose the first option.A waiter guides us to one of the elegant booths surrounded by carved wooden partitions. Dim lights add to the elegant and warm atmosphere in this room. I took a seat across from Balthazar and then opened my jacket while he himself was looking at the menu bo

    My question hung in the air for a few moments."Did Viktor leak that information?" asked Balthazar angrily. I can almost feel Leykan's aura and power even if it's very faint."We don't know yet" Val replied. "The first thing Sam did after receiving the request for a visit tonight was tell me to pick you up.""Isn't that pretty dangerous?" reprimanded Balthazar slightly curtly. "Right now Sam and Pack Yellowstone are being suspected by other Packs. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the werewolves from the Pack was stalking you, especially since you're a BetaPack Yellowstone."I looked at Val with a surprised look, I didn't know that he was a Yellowstone Beta pack. The Hummer we were driving shot through the quieter streets of Portland."Even if someone was stalking me, by now they would have lost track of me. I've been looking for you two hours ago, then changed cars with other pack members several times." Val kept looking straight ahead while talking to us. The tense atmosphere envel

    Zaya stepped closer to me and gave me a hug. Even though he was smiling, I could see the worry on his face."Thanks for helping us, Zaya." I turned to Balthazar who was talking in a low voice with Val."Of course." Zaya put an arm around my shoulder and then took me into the house he shared with Val. "Don't worry Cara. You can stay with us until things cool down outside.""Have you heard about my ... situation?" I asked after sitting down on the long dark gray sofa. The interior of the house looks rather masculine with an industrial theme dominated by metal ornaments and red brick walls.Zaya sat down next to me before nodding. "Val told me about it after we met that night. Pardon my question then, Cara, I don't know about Alpha Brennan's real situation.""Oh, what are you apologizing for" I replied, laughing. "Have you and Val ... ?""Becoming a mate? Yeah!" Zaya's face turns bright with happiness. Her blonde hair looked longer than before, one hand moved to tuck a strand of hair beh

    "I have to hurry back to Pack's house to meet Sam and the others," Val said to us then he turned to Zaya who was still in his arms, her emerald green eyes softened as they met her dead face. "I will be right back."Zaya nodded her head even though her face looked unwilling. "Be careful, Val."Val kissed her forehead briefly before letting go of the hug. "Of course, honey," he replied with a half smile that made his dark fierce face look even more handsome.'Calum has picked me up at the front, I have to get out before he starts nagging again."Val gave a curt nod to Balthazar and me, then he exited through his front door.Zaya continues to introduce herself to Balthazar, while my attention is now focused on my neck which is still throbbing. I grabbed my glass of juice with slightly shaking hands and drank the rest of it down.'I'll show you your room so you can get some rest soon. I'm sure you must be tired after everything that happened tonight," Zaya offered us.Still holding my gla

    "Val is there!" Zaya gasped before turning to look at me with a pale face. "Cara, I think the new place-just exploded is the Yellowstone Pack house."Zaya's voice sounded like a person being strangled. I gazed up at the soaring flames with my heart pounding hard in my chest. "Then we should check it out," I told him.Zaya looked dazed, her vacant eyes contrasting with the look of terror on her face right now. But a few moments later he nodded his approval. We ran inside and were greeted by Balthazar who had just climbed the stairs."What sound is that?" he asked in a strained voice."Explosion. D- At the Yellowstone Pack house" I stammered a bit. "We'll check there" I added before Zaya pulled my hand down the stairs."Checking now?!" shouted Balthazar from behind me."Yes!" My screams echoed off the high ceilings of this house. But the sound of Balthazar's swearing sounded louder than me. I can hear his footsteps behind us.Zaya took the keys to a Hummer parked in the garage of her ho

    The Situation around me turned even more chaotic as everyone was panicking and running in all directions. Blood, broken glass, and shards of burning metal strewn around the car that had just exploded. Meanwhile the fire soared and started to spread to the next car. Firefighters are working to extinguish the dangerous blaze before it ignites a larger fire ignited by gasoline.It was obvious the car explosion just now had something to do with the explosion at Pack's house. I rubbed my forehead which felt a little wet with blood. I think the impact just now was really hard on my head, I thought and then my eyes fell on a boy around six years old who fell while running away from the flames from the car. The people around him kept running without looking back or helping the boy who was trying to stand up while crying.I can't stay in this car anymore. I pulled my seat belt and opened the car door to get out as fast as possible. My feet were running towards the boy while people were running

    The boy in my arms hugged me tighter, his sobs now turning into muffled cries because he was burying his wet face in my neck. My heart was still pounding hard from earlier, but I couldn't move from my spot.How did he find me so quickly? Adler already knows that I'm hiding in Val and Zaya's house ... If I don't go out with Zaya tonight, maybe I'll be caught soon and my life will be over right then and there. Imagining how easily this situation would turn into a disaster for everyone made me realize how dangerous I was right now.If I get caught then Balthazar will also be dragged along with me, then soon Vincent and the other Leykan-Leykan who are still hiding will also be found. All our struggles could end because of my one mistake"Ma'am? Are you sure you're all right?"My body jolted in surprise when I heard Gabriel Adler's voice right behind me. The terror I felt made my whole body stiffen and twitch slightly. I turned around slightly and nodded slightly. Th- Thanks for helping us

    "Dad?" I whispered, hardly believing my father was actually in front of me at this moment. My father looked tired to the point that his handsome face, which was similar to Alex's, looked older than usual. "What- What are you doing here?""Quickly get in the car" my father repeated with a strained expression. Without wasting time I walked around his sedan and opened the passenger door next to him."No, don't sit up front honey. I don't want you to be seen" my dad said before I could go inside. I closed the front door of Dad's car again, then opened the rear passenger door and got in.As soon as my hand closed the door, Dad immediately drove his car into the middle of Portland's fairly quiet streets. In the darkness of this car I was still staring at my father with a confused look. From the backseat I could only see part of the silhouette of his slightly shadowed face.Dad's stiff jaw was adorned by his rough beard, while his sharp eyes were fixed on the road in front of him. I haven't

    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.
