"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
I could see the conflict on Alex's face as he thought about my question. It seemed he wasn't convinced himself either, but I knew how stubborn Alex was so I wouldn't be surprised to oppose this plan."Of course I will protect this Pack." Alex put down the paper he was holding. All his attention was fully focused on me. "But that doesn't mean I'll just let you go, Cara. Either way, I'll find a way so you can stay here."Alex's words sounded so convincing that for a moment it made me feel relieved. But I know this feeling is only temporary, deep down I don't want to risk the safety of this Pack member just so I can stay here."Vincent's right, we don't have to get into that now" I said with a small smile. Alex looked like he wanted to argue but he restrained himself by clenching his jaw then he cleared the pile of papers on his desk and stood up."Let's go now," he said before putting on the black jacket that was previously draped behind his chair. I nodded and stood up too. Only Vincen
The Jeep we drove into the white castle grounds where the Full Moon Party was held a few days ago. At night this place does look romantic, but this afternoon the light that floods the entire courtyard and building makes this place look even more magnificent. Like a castle in a fairy tale world.But I can't enjoy it too much because my mind is still filled with stories about Zaya and his sad fate.How can I help him? I thought as I stepped into the castle entrance with Alex. Vincent walked slowly behind us. When we rang the bell, Alpha Sam himself opened the door and greeted us. Unusually, her amiable expression today looked somewhat anxious.Seeing his face made me refocus on my own fate at this time. He ushered us inside, his gaze immediately fixed on Vincent when we entered.'He's waiting" he said as he led us through after a brief pleasantries. Alpha Sam doesn't need to explain who the 'He' is referring to.We entered one of the large rooms on the second floor. I'm not sure what th
"Wh- What do you mean?" My whole body felt cold all of a sudden. "Alex, don't be kidding me" I whispered in horror.I didn't come into your room this morning" he repeated in a strained voice."Then ... who ... " My question didn't need to be answered, because even without saying it, we both already knew the answer. Alex's face looked so angry that it turned pale, his hands began to shake because the wolf inside him also woke up when he felt a very strong emotion.Alex stood up and took out his cell phone and made a call. Her two brown eyes changed drastically very quickly to golden."Jakes!" he snapped into his phone. "Dimitri is still in Night Walker territory."All the fine hairs on my body bristle when I recall the events of this early morning. My hands rubbed my arms to get rid of the cold feeling I felt. But this feeling comes from within me so no matter how much I try to rub it to feel warm, I still shiver myself."No, no. Dimitri is in our territory," Alex insisted sternly, "Pr
With my chest pounding, my hand reaches out to turn the knob in front of me. Just now she called me Gabriella, not Caroline. I pushed open one of the library's heavy double doors, only halfway to fit my body inside.When I entered this room it looked darker than that night. Even though it was still early evening ... The four large windows in the room were covered with thick dark blue velvet curtains. The fireplace in the corner of the room lit up and made a faint sound. Apart from that, no other sounds caught my ears.I looked around for Vincent, but I couldn't find him. There was only Daniel Balthazar who was sitting on the sofa bed that I used to live on. A thick book was open in her lap, but her hazel eyes were fixed on me.I was still standing hesitantly in front of the door I just closed. There was no expression that I could read from Balthazar's face at this time, and he just looked at me without saying a word. Over time, his views made me feel uncomfortable with myself.I walke
