" 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
I waited until the car disappeared around the corner. The sound of something moving through the trees across from me caught my attention. This bus stop is opposite a city park which is quite big, I can't see anything but the shadows of the trees and the darkness. I quickened my pace toward the house, when I saw Alex's car parked next to Dad's car.Dad was standing at the door when I walked in. He was on the phone with a serious expression. His gaze shifted to me instantly, "Cara!"My body jumped slightly hearing Dad's voice which was quite loud. "Do you know what time it is?! We've all been looking for you."Mum appeared from behind the room. She also had a cell phone in her hand. "Goodness!" the sound of Mum's screeching made me jump a little again. "Honey, where have you been?"'I'll call Alex." Dad muttered as he put the phone back to his ear."Alex isn't here? But his car is out front.""He went with Jake to look for you because you disappeared. He picked you up at Jenna's house a
How could I leave Alex? My stomach churns again when I remember Vincent's words last night. I lifted my chocolate cup and put it to my lips. My hand shook slightly as I put my cup back down. Should I leave it? Can I live like Vincent? Controlling my power then hiding it? Is it possible after that ... I can come back again? Maybe in five years, or ten years, when I'm more normal I can go back. Alex will be fine without me. I'm sure we can-The sound of something crushing distracted me, suddenly my hands felt wet, I lowered my head looking at the cup I was holding, or the one I had previously held. My hands were covered in a dark brown and red liquid, several pieces of porcelain stuck in my palms. I stared at my hands in horror, I didn't even feel the pain.I carefully picked up every bit that stuck in my palm and threw it in the trash. I wash my hands until they are clean again then dry them with a soft towel. Blood was still flowing slightly from his open wound, now sticking to the to
Jake gave a small nod "I shouldn't have told you Cara ... but I can't just let it go. He doesn't listen to my opinion at all. I hope you can stop his crazy ideas, because he won't solve problems just by letting go of his power. If Alex did it I can't imagine what will happen." Jake paused for a momentbefore continuing, "The vacant Alpha position will be fought over by other Alphas. Our Pack is one of the largest, fighting over it is tantamount to starting a war between us."'Shouldn't you be the one leading it?"He smiled briefly, "I'm just a Beta, Cara. And will forever be a Beta. The position of Alpha can only be filled by werewolves who have Alpha blood."We were both silent for a long time until Jake decided to go back to sleep since it was already 3am. He let me sleep on the sofa across from him because I couldn't sleep in the room anymore.I woke up when a hand touched my cheek, I opened my eyes that were still half awake then my memories of last night flooded my memory again. M
Alex heads out of town again the next morning. At first he asked me to stay at the house we lived in yesterday accompanied by Jake or Jenna, but after a long debate I finally decided to go home. Of course Jake would still check on me every day.I know the reason Alex objected to me returning home was because neither of our parents knew about my true identity. At the moment only Alex and Jake know about it and it seems the less people know the better the situation will be for me.But in mine and Vincent's plan I had to come to the Prom, so I had to go back home like it or not. Originally Vincent was going to be my prom partner, but things weren't so good right now and it seems Alex also asked Jake to keep an eye on Vincent. So I ended up going with Eric, he just happened to have broken up with his partner. Vincent would pick me up at school and then we'd leave town together.All of this had to be done as unobtrusively as possible without Alex's knowledge."Cara?" Mum's voice broke my r
