Alex didn't notice my interaction withDaniel just now. He took me to a dark and deserted garden which is beside this castle. When I looked back I couldn't see Daniel and his balcony anymore.'What is it?" His question made me turn my head at him again."Oh, nothing" I replied with a small smile.Alex let go of my hand and then cleaned one of the park benches with his handkerchief. The garden is filled with flower bushes and walls of tall but well groomed plants. In the middle of it a medium-sized fountain was lit up so that the sound of gurgling water flowing was loud enough around us. The only light now comes from the full moon above us.'Cara, you can sit here" Alex said, pointing to the bench he had just cleaned."Alex ... you don't need to wipe it clean." I could almost see the wood on the bench was glistening. I pulled his jacket to wrap around me tighter then sat down on the bench ."I don't want your dress to get dirty," she said and then she took a place next to me. For a few
His lips traced the base of my neck gently.Looks like Alex didn't hear my previous call. His hands were on my waist, almost gripping me so I wouldn't move from his lap."Alex" I called again when his wet tongue licked the skin of my neck, where the marks had once stuck to my body. He was getting ready to bite me, I could feel his hands squeezing my waist a few times. Maybe right now he is fighting the control of his wolf who wants to bite me and give his mark.Alex took a deep breath then exhaled it on my neck. "Wait a minute," he said in a low, hoarse voice. "Leave me in this position for a few more minutes."I hugged his head with one hand then ran my fingers through his brown hair until he regained control of himself. The night wind blows again, I feel warm because Alex's hot body temperature still covers me too. If only we could escape right now, to a place where no one else was at all. There's only the two of us.Idon't know how long my fingers played with his hair, Alex pulled
Since Jake hasn't arrived yet so I hastily shower and then change into my pajamas into a comfortable flannel shirt and jeans. As I was wrapping my long hair in a towel Jake's noisy voice came from downstairs."Cara?!" he shouted in his annoying voice."What?!" I replied with a scream too. "I'll be down in a minute!"I put my cellphone in my trouser pocket and then left my room, my head was still covered with a towel covering my wet hair. Jake was curled up on the couch closing his eyes and folding his arms across his chest. He looks very tired."Are there any problems with the Pack at the moment?" I asked worriedly.Jake opened his eyes briefly then groaned lazily. "No ... Nothing. I just finished playing the game at four in the morning, that's why I'm still tired" he answered with a yawn and then opened his eyes wide. Jake stretched on the couch and grinned at me playfully."You bastard," I grumbled before removing the towel from my half-wet hair and throwing it in his face. Jake cou
Since Alex was still busy with his guests while Jake was sparring, no one could coach me that afternoon. I'm still waiting in the communal room while chatting with the Pack members who don't have anything to do either.The sound of the door opening made me stand up from my seat and step into the passage that connected to the front door. And as I expected, the ones who had just entered were Vincent, Luca, and Jordan. The three of them looked at me together after hearing my footsteps."Hi" I greeted with a big smile."Hey, Caroline" Luca and Jordan said in turn. Only Vincent returned my greeting with a reluctant look. I wanted to glare at him, but unfortunately there were two Enforcers watching me."Alex is still seeing his guests until now" I said to the three of them."That's fine, we'll be waiting" Jordan replied kindly ."So how far have you gone with your training?" Vincent asked me as the four of us walked to the communal room to wait for Alex.I shrug my shoulders casually. "Only
"I am alright!" I said to Vincent while coughing a few more times. I wiped the blood on my face with the back of my hand, but instead of getting it clean my face and my hands got even more messy. Ugh, that's gross, I thought, wiping my hands on my TshirtVincent let go of my shoulders without saying anything, but Alex just arrived and immediately pulled me away from Vincent."Cara, your blood ... "Alex looked at me in panic, his brown eyes looked at the blood that covered my clothes, hands and face. Then He released me and turned angrily to Vincent. "What did you do to him?"In front of me Alex's back tensed up, ready to attack. I rubbed his arm until he turned to me again. "Alex it wasn't Vincent who did this" I muttered quietly, I wished my tone had penetrated his current emotion. I didn't let go of my hand from his arm until he stopped shaking.Vincent didn't answer Alex's question, he didn't even pay attention to Alex at all. He was still looking at me with a horrified look on hi
We turned simultaneously towards Vincent. My heart sank when I heard what he just said. He was standing not far from us, his serious face grim as he stared at us both."Currently the seal on Caroline's body isn't leaking anymore, but it's almost partially opened," he continued in a low voice. From the front yard came the voices of the Pack members who had just finished running through the woods. Jake being one of them, He was walking back to the Pack house through the side door like the others. But when he saw the three of us, he turned his steps towards us."Tell me you told Alex, Cara" Jake said suddenly as he was near us. I glanced at him and then nodded slightly."Oh, then you guys are going to the hospital now?" ask again."No." This time it was Vincent who replied, but his gaze was still on us. "What we need right now isn't a doctor. We have to find Lycan who helped me seal Caroline's power. As soon as possible."'Why are you only telling me now?!" Alex snapped next to me to mak
"Balthazar" repeated Alex through gritted teeth.Jake got up from his sofa with lightning speed. "Should I contact the werewolves guarding the border? It's possible that Leykan was never tracked down here because she lives in Canada."Alex nodded in agreement. "Ask Luca Anderson and Jordan Shaw too. Usually theEnforcer has information we don't expect.""You won't be able to find him just by asking. Balthazar is not an ordinary Lycan, he is used to living alone in seclusion.Sometimes he doesn't even come out of his hiding place for tens of years." Vincent sounded pessimistic.Balthazar. It felt like an electric shock when Iheard that name. I tried not to panic as I satfrozenbeside Alex. The Balthazar in question isn't the same Balthazar I met a few days ago right?Jake who was about to leave suddenly stopped and turned to Vincent. "I don't understand your train of thought," he said curtly. "You said your life is tied to Cara forever because of the promise you made with Cara's mother.
My ears heard the sound of dripping water from outside my window. When I peeked, the digital clock next to my bed showed that it was still four in the morning. It's still early morning, I thought as I closed my eyes again and listened to the sound of the rain outside. I sighed because my bed felt very comfortable and warm, especially my back and stomach ...A few moments later I opened my eyes again and looked at the big hands that hugged me from behind. Warm breath felt like stroking the top of my head. I felt a smile form on my face.I held his hand hugging my stomach and went back to sleep.***We reconvened at Pack's house that afternoon, Vincent also came even though he had to take a day off from his Enforcer duties. Jake also wants to come but Alex asks him to stay in the Pack."You know that unless there is a certain formal event, Alpha and Beta shouldn't come together to another Pack. They'll think of it as an aggressive gesture. I don't want Alpha Sam to feel that way," said
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.
