I wanted to tell Alex everything, but my instinct told me if I told him now there would only be two responses from him; Alex will think I'm crazy or he'll fall back on his Lycan theory. So I just shook my head and gave him a small smile, "Just lack of sleep.""You can sleep at home all day." Alex answered while pulling one corner of his mouth into a smile that never fails to make my heart stop beating for a split second. Even his waking hair doesn't detract from the effect of his smile.OK." I replied while returning his smile without being able to prevent it.***Mum was in the kitchen when I visited the house. She was cooking a casserole for dinner. Alex was picking me up in 3 hours so I decided to keep myself busy helping Mum cook. Meanwhile Dad just got home at 5 o'clock."You okay with Alex?" asked Mum as she put the casserole in the oven.'Hh-mmm." I muttered. Mum asked me to prepare the salad and dressing. "Mom, can I ask you something?"Mum turns from her oven to face me "Sure
I decide to go to the bathroom which is the farthest from my class, hoping that when I get back Eric and Jenna have finished talking about Prom. The back of our school is directly adjacent to the Pepperwell forest, even though there is a guard rail but in certain parts it has been damaged. The few kids who wanted to smoke or skip classes usually did so while hiding in the Pepperwell woods.The fresh morning air and the scent of the trees greeted me asI came out of the hall of the main building. There wasn't anyone in the backyard this morning, but usually a few kids who had skipped classes were hanging out under the Oak tree. I walked towards the bathroom slowly, enjoying the sound of the trees rustling in the wind from a distance.I wash my hands then wash my face a little while in the bathroom. When looking at the mirror in front of me my eyes were glued to my reflection, a few drops of water still running down my face. My eyes which are green bluish are now more blue in color, I wr
He shot quickly towards me, then stopped 10 meters from where I stood. The huge wolf grinned at me, revealing a row of large, sharp-looking teeth. I pushed myself against the tree trunk behind me until I felt the surface of the wood stab into my back through my shirt.I remembered Alex's story about Rogue, a wild werewolf who doesn't have a pack. What if he kills me?We stared at each other for a few moments until finally the wolf growled loudly then turned again and ran away. All my energy seemed to disappear as relief washed over me, my body slumped to the ground. I held my breath until my shaking body lessened a bit. Then I heard a very familiar voice calling my name."Cara? Are you all right?""J-Jake!" I tried to stand up and looked around me to look for him, his voice sounded quite close. "Jake? Where are you?""Here" OnlyJake's head was sticking out from behind the tree, his whole body was covered by the tree. He looks like a child playing hide and seek. I walked quickly toward
"Hmmm ... " "I shouldn't have bitten you. I couldn't control my dominant wolf, and you disappeared for 5 plus hours. My wolf-It just wanted to make sure you were okay." "Okay ... I understand. But what happened to me yesterday -Alex, I think there's something wrong with me." I muttered. "I don't want to talk about yesterday." I looked at Alex who was washing his hands in the sink with a frown. He didn't look at me at all when he spoke to me. "What do you mean? Alex, yesterday-" "Cara, I don't want to talk about it now." He said slowly, as if he was talking to a child. "You're just lost." He added as he walked out of the kitchen. I watched his back walking away then followed him towards the room. "Alex, I'm not lost. Something is happening to me. And what were you talking about the other day, about Lycan" Alex stopped for a moment then turned around, his eyes darkening. "Never talk about it to anyone. Do you understand?" I looked at Alex in disbelief, a few days ago he suspecte
" Hey -""Who are you?" interrupted me with narrowed eyes. Alex paused for a moment then smiled wider."You're not Alex, as far as I remember my brother still locked himself in his room all day like a child." I added with sarcasm. The smile on Alex's face disappeared in an instant."I'm not your Brother, Cara."I really didn't realize the words I just said. "I-I mean I just ... " I couldn't continue. We were silent for a few moments until Alex finally opened his car door for me."Where are we going?" I asked when we were both in his car."A place." He replied, glancing at me briefly then focusing back on the road, "Don't worry, you're wearing the right clothes.""What's wrong with you all today?" I muttered to myself."Why did Jake pick me up?""Because I have to take care of some things this morning and it doesn't look like you're going to want to go with me ... ""Yeah, if you didn't act like yesterday maybe I would-""Cara, I don't want to talk about it now." interrupted Alex in an
I turned my attention away from Alex slowly, looked at the woman next to him who was smiling at me. Suddenly there was a huge hatred in my chest. It's so big that it makes me want to hurt it. Alex stood up from where he was and walked towards me quickly, one of his hands gripped my wrist then pulled me away. But I didn't move to follow him, my eyes were still focused on Evelyn who now looked a little confused."Cara, we have to talk." muttered Alex before pulling me again. He stepped in front of me, shielding Evelyn from my hateful gaze. Then his other hand tugged my chin gently, turning my gaze to him again. The expression on Alex's face made me forget my anger for a moment. He looked sad, just a little but that expression appeared on his face briefly. In my entire life, as far as I can remember Alex had never shown his expression or feelings freely. Maybe He showed pleasure or happiness, but that's all. If he feels other feelings, he always covers them with his flat expression.I ga
We stopped at a fast food restaurant, Jenna and I were busy calling some people from school. We were busy with our mobile phones for the next hour. And the strangest hing is that of all the people we contacted, none of them knew Vincent Brooks' number, even though they did. Jenna unwrapped her burger and bit into her burger angrily."I can't believe it, how could it be ... " he muttered while hewing. My two eyes stared at the fries on my tray, there must be a way to reach him."We can check his personal data at school tomorrow." Said Jenna. "There must be a number or address that can be contacted.""Yeah ... " I replied weakly. "Jen, can you walk me home after this?""You don't want to go back to Alex's apartment?" he asked after finishing his burger."No" I replied standing up, I didn't touch my fries or the soda I ordered at all.The sky had turned dark by the time we got to the house. Jenna waved at me before driving away. Dad's car was nowhere to be seen in the garage, only Mum's.
"And now it's your turn."I looked up at his serious face looking at me in the dim light of his car headlights. But the expression in his two blue eyes was not the same as his current expression, both of them looked at me gently. For a moment I was familiar with the look in her eyes."What do you want from me?" I asked half whispering. "You want me to take revenge?" I continued.He pulled the corner of his mouth up into a slightly sinister smile. "Revenge? Of course. I've spent part of my life plotting revenge ... " the expression on his face was slightly hesitant."But?" I demanded when He didn't continue."Well, let's just say I abandoned the plan." He glanced briefly at the rearview mirror. "Actually I didn't expect you to meet your mate ... ""You mean Alex?""Yes." He looked back at me, "You really aren't that lucky, huh?""I don't understand."He smiled again, "Maybe this is all still confusing to you, but sooner or later your memory will come back ... In fact, maybe you already
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.
