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
