2022-10-21 14:09:26"So ... has anyone asked you yet?" asked Jen, my best friend, we were walking towards the school gate.
Her large, dark gray eyes looked at me suspiciously. Her golden hair was carelessly tied up to frame her face in a slightly messy way.
And yes, Jen was discussing Prom, her favorite topic for the past three weeks.
"Ah ... not yet?" I answered with a little hesitation, because I knew what she would say next.
"You turn down anyone who asks, right?" Her forehead furrowed in annoyance, "Cara, honey, you need a prom partner!"
"How about I go with you?" I replied with a sweet smile.
"I'm going with the Dane. And you can't be the third person in my relationship." her eyes narrowed as she looked at me.
"Then I'll go with Eric."
"Eric? Cara, please, why can't you find another boy? Eric's probably going out with his girlfriend anyway." Jenna blinked with laughter.
Eric and Jenna are my two closest friends in high school, even though our class is different from Eric, we always meet during recess or weekends.
Of course it's been just me and Eric lately, because Jen prefers going out with her boyfriend. And Eric is gay-FYI.
"Okay, that's for later." She continued impatiently. "Now for the dress and…"
"Cara?"
A familiar voice interrupted Jen's sentence. We both turned to the direction of the sound.
One meter behind me stood a tall man wearing a black shirt, jeans and jacket. He smiled broadly at us, his brown eyes beaming with a smile as well. Her dark brown hair, like mine, was left a bit messy.
My gaze shifted to the bouquet of white roses in her hand. "Alex?" I whispered in disbelief when I saw him standing in front of me, "What are you doing here?"
Alex is my only brother five years older than me. He graduated from college two years ago and started an apprenticeship at a property company out of town before later taking over Dad's business.
At first glance we may not look alike. The only thing Alex and I have in common is that our hair is brown which matches his eye color, while mine is a mix of green and a bit of blue.
Alex always said that my eyes are like an Angora cat. Exotic-aka weird.
"Nice to meet you too, Cara." Alex hugged me tightly and kissed the top of my head. "Hey, Jenna!"
Jen smiled shyly while waving her hand, before going out with Dane she had fallen deeply in love with my brother.
"Cara, I'll go first. Dane is waiting for me. Bye Alex!" She waved at us before turning around and walking away, occasionally glancing in our direction.
Alex waved his hand back.
"So?" I turned my attention to Alex after he let go of his hug. The smell of mint and the scent of roses wafted from him.
"Hmm?" he replied before we walked hand in hand out of the gate.
"You came home early and didn't tell me? Did Dad and Mum know?"
"Yes. I will not miss your birthday again, not this year." Alex handed me the bouquet of flowers he had brought.
I paused for a moment staring at the cluster of white rose petals wrapped in an ivory white bouquet.
"My birthday is still tomorrow, Al" I said with a smile, Alex hates it when I call him Al. He only answered by rolling his eyes as I held his bouquet of roses in my arms.
"So there's a party or something?" he asked as he walked towards his car, BMW, and new. I didn't know Dad bought him a new car.
"Just mum, Dad, Eric, Jen and now you" I answered while looking at his bouquet of flowers, "Thanks." I said sincerely.
"Anything for you Cara-bear." He answered with a big smile.
***
"Happy Birthday Cara!" Jen stood at my door with a big smile.
"Happy Birthday!" Eric trailed behind Jen. His slightly long black hair was neatly combed back. Two dimples were visible in his cheeks when he smiled.
"You didn't bring me a present?" I asked in a tone of feigned disappointment.
"Your gift is coming, Eric and I have prepared something for you." Jen and Eric alternately kissing me on the cheek.
"Sorry that I suddenly replaced it with lunch. Alex wants to invite me to dinner." I said while walking towards the dining room with the two of them.
"Ah, I wish I had a brother like Alex." Jen sighed enviously.
"I wish you had a brother like Alex-and he was gay." Eric's interjection had us laughing out loud.
Lunch today went great with Mum, Dad, Eric, Jenna minus Alex. He had little to do and had to skip lunch.
Mum made my birthday cake herself, like all previous years. I looked at my parents with a big smile before blowing out the candles on my birthday cake.
Dad and Mum are 46 years old, but they still look 30 years old, and sometimes people think they are my brothers. And that kinda sucks.
Mum was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, her shoulder-length golden brown hair framing her face gracefully,and her light blue eyes always made me a little jealous of Mum's beauty.
While Dad is similar to Alex, he has brown eyes and dark brown hair. Dad is my hero. I remember when I was 7 years old, Dad used to take me out every week to buy all the candy I wanted, unbeknownst to Mum and Alex.
We call them secret missions, although after that I always have a stomach ache. I love them very much, they are the best parents.
After eating lunch and talking for a very long time, Jenna and Eric finally came home. I helped Mum clean up the leftover lunch.
"Cara, you already know where Alex will take you?" Mum asked as she stacked the clean plates.
"Not yet, Alex just told me to get ready. Normal dinner I guess."
Mum was silent for a moment, busy continuing her work. "Alex will live here again, in this city, he wants to buy his own apartment. According to him he is no longer fit to live with his own parents." Mum said with a laugh.
"He didn't tell me anything ... " I grumbled with a frown, usually I'm always the first to know.
Lately Alex has been calling me less often, I think because he is busy with his work.
"Oh yeah? Maybe he forgot. How about I help you get ready?" Mum asked, wiping her hands on her apron.
"Prepare for ... ?" I asked confused.
"Your dinner with Alex?"
"Mum, I'm just going to have dinner with Alex. He won't even mind if I'm just in some tattered pajamas." I said laughing then left Mum and headed for my room on the second floor.
I can faintly hear Mum grumbling to herself behind me.
After half an hour lying in bed waiting for Alex to pick me up, my cell phone vibrates next to me. I glanced at the clock on my desk that showed 6 pm.
"Alex?" I replied when I saw his name on the cellphone screen.
"Are you ready, Princess?"
"Ew, you sound gross." I replied with a laugh which was answered with a laugh too.
"I'll be there in 15 minutes. Don't forget to bring your jacket." he ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty." I replied with a smile to myself then disconnected.
After half an hour lying in bed waiting for Alex to pick me up, my cell phone vibrates next to me. I glanced at the clock on my desk that showed 6 pm.
Jen said I had an 'okay' face. My eyes are a clear bluish green, Mum and Dad always say I have a same color with Mum's great-grandmother.
I do have a slightly different face from Mum, Dad and Alex. The only thing that makes me look alike is that I have the same hair color as Dad and Alex.
Tonight I'm wearing a white t-shirt with the logo of The Strokes, Alex's favorite band which is now my favorite band, and black leggings.
I'm not wearing any make up because it's just dinner with Alex. Not a date.
I grabbed my black jacket that was on the bed and went downstairs. Dad, Mum and Alex were talking in the kitchen even though I couldn't hear what they were saying very clearly I frowned as they whispered loudly. 'Alex?" Say hello from behind. Alex turned around and smiled at me.
He wore a semi black suit with a white shirt and black pants, minus a tie. His usually messy hair was now neatly combed back, his brown eyes looking at me warmly.
I know my brother has the allure to make all the female species in this world fall in love with him. Sometimes I'm not immune either, although I hate it too.
It's disgusting and fun at the same time? Who knows.
"What is it?" he asked, still smiling with his annoyingly handsome face. I felt my cheeks heat up a little. "Cara, he's your brother!"
"Oh, so, um, I think I got the costume wrong?" I asked frowning slightly to hide my embarrassment after thinking about Alex.
"No, you look perfect. Mum, Dad, we're leaving now." Alex kissed Mum on the cheek as she said good-bye.
Mum rubbed her nose when she saw us both, she looked like she was going to ... cry?
'Mum? Are you all right?" I asked hesitantly.
"Looks like it's just a cold. Have fun, honey." Mum replied. Dad put his arm around Mum's waist and whispered something.
I threw my smile at both of them before following Alex to nis car.
Alex opened the door for me which made me look at him questioningly. He didn't usually act like this.
he answered me by raising one corner of his mouth upwards. My heart is pounding again, somehow I feel like this is like a date.

EW! Cara, she's your sister, you idiot! I repeated in my head. "What were you thinking about that made your head contort like that?" Asked Alex after sitting in the driver's seat, then he took something from the backseat of his car. At this close distance the smell of aftershave and perfume faintly wafted up my nose. I always liked the smell of his perfume, Alex never wore expensive masculine perfume that actually smelled strong. The smell of Alex's perfume made me think of the forest and trees. Smells of pine and a hint of mint. "HappyBirthdayCaroline Brennan." Alex held out a bouquet of blood red roses and a black velvet box with a small smile. I stared at him stunned, too shocked to speak. If Alex wasn't my brother I would have stopped my thoughts quickly at this point, now I'm thinking about if Alex wasn't my brother? I feel disgusted at myself. Usually Alex only gives me small things like perfume or sneakers on my birthday. I stared at the bouquet of roses whose smell perme

He was silent for a full minute. "Whoever your biological parents were, Mum and Dad are still your family. They love you as much as they love me. We can find out your parents' information later, I promise. There's something else I want you to know right now." His brown stared at me expectantly, while part of my brain has processing the information that just came out of his mouth He looked at me fixedly with his brows furrowed "Cara, I'm a Werewolf." I looked at Alex with a feeling between wanting to cry and laugh "Are you kidding me?" My voice started to rise out of the anger I felt. Alex shook his head quickly. "You are my mate and I knew it from the first time we met. That's why I asked Mum and Dad to adopt you." My almost exploding anger made me really want to punch him right now. I pulled my hand from his grip, Alex just replied with a slightly hurt look. "Show me." I almost laughed at my own words because I almost believed what Alex just said. He looked at me before standin

"Mate ... Soulmate. Every werewolf has a soul mate, whether it's a human or a fellow werewolf. Mates are predestined from the moment they're born, and nothing can change them. Like a puzzle, nothing but their mate can complete them." he answered while rubbing the back of his neck."And you are my mate, Caroline." My heart flutters when Alex says my name, I love it when he says my full name."Alex ... I am your sister." I said quietly. "Are you crazy?""You still don't understand, Cara? Haven't you noticed all this time when I threatened every boy who wanted to approach you? When I hit Joseph because he almost kissed you? You are mine, Cara."I flinched when Alex said I was his. "I'm not an item." I replied with an angry frown."You know that's not what I meant." he said softly. "You are mine, because I am also yours. All ... all. Mate is a once in a lifetime partner for a werewolf."His words made my stomach feel like it was being surrounded by hundreds of butterflies."That's why I b

"Don't ever call us dog-like in front of other werewolves. It's a sensitive topic for us, especially Jake."My eyes locked on Alex who was laughing, his low and slightly hoarse laugh made my heart jump in my chest. I might have a heart attack if this continues, I thought while trying to calm my pounding heart. Alex's laughter stopped when he saw the expression on my face."What is it?" he asked in a half whisper, as if he was aware of every change in my feelings-or maybe it was just my face that was too easy to read."There isn't anything."I replied before looking back up at the sky above us. "Today the stars are very beautiful, right? It feels like I haven't been up here in a long time, I almost forgot about this view." I muttered, trying to change the subject."But nothing can beat my current view." His answer made me turn back to him. Alex stared at me full ... I'm not sure, what's clear is that his gaze took my breath away.The next thing I noticed was Alex's face getting closer,

Alex already has a girlfriend." I said short while walking towards class while Jen followed me from behind."Oh?Who's his girlfriend?Ugh, it must be nice to have a boyfriend like Alex. He treats you-his sister, like that.Especially his girlfriend."My steps stopped suddenly when I heard Jen's words.What would he say if he found out I was Alex's girlfriend. "Method?" Jenna stopped beside me."Have you found a dress for Prom yet?" Prom was the only topic that could distract Jen."Not yet! How about we go find a dress together? Oh! Have you got your prom date yet?" Jen started talking excitedly, for a moment I regretted changing the subject."I-no, I don't think I'm going to the prom." My reply made Jen's blue eyes pop, her mouth slightly agape upon hearing me."You! Caroline Brennan, you have to come. Full period. I'll make sure you go to the prom even if I have to drag you. And from this second on I'll be the one to find you a prom date." She said in a half squeal making some of the

Now Mum is forcing me, today already 2 people forced me to go to the damn Prom."Let Cara decide for herself." Dad stood up for me. I smiled gratefully at Dad, finally someone who agreed with me in this house.'Oh, of course he'll go. Alex has also refused to go to prom like this but I managed to persuade him to go, right?" Mum replied with of times refusing to go to prom Mum finally forced him.He even wanted to wear the suit Mum picked out, I have to admit he looked really good in it at the time. Hisbrown hair was cut very short, unlike now which grows rather long. And he asked Evelyn Lance as his prom date.I remember feeling jealous when I found out that Alex had invited Evelyn Lance, who got the title of the most beautiful woman in his class. I silenced Alex for a week afterthat.An idea flashed through my head suddenly. Now is the perfect time for revenge."Okay. I'm going to the prom." I said suddenly to Mum. Everyone looked shocked when they heard me, they didn't think I would

"Werewolves need more nutrition." Alex defended himself "We'll take you to school." he added."We? You mean you and Jake?" I asked, "I can go alone." I can't imagine being in the same car with both of them."We'll drive you Cara. Jake and I are going to my new apartment, so we're on the same line, right." he replied while biting the last piece of bacon."Errr ... I'd better go alone.""I'm moving into a new apartment today, maybe tomorrow I can't take you anymore.""Oh ... " A part of me suddenly felt disappointed hearing that, "You're moving already?" I did my best to hide the disappointment in my voice."Yeah ... So today I'll take you, okay?""Oh, okay." with a thin smile I continue my breakfast.Alex and Jake waited for me downstairs while I grabbed my bag in my room. Being in the car with Alex and Jake was the last thing I wanted, but since today was Alex's last day at home I couldn't refuse it."So who are you going with?" asked Alex while starting his car engine. I sat next to

I nodded at Dane "His apprenticeship is over.""Well, it's about time Alex came back." muttered Dane which made my forehead wrinkled. "It is time?" I repeated to him."Errr, Yes ... ""He meant it was time for Alex to take over your father's real estate business, Cara." interrupted Jen with a smile."Oh ... you're right, that was the plan." I replied to both. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone walking towards us, Eric and behind him was Julian-his prom partner."Ohhh ... is Eric finally going to introduce his new girlfriend to us?" Jen whispered back with a small laugh Dane. But our hopes were dashed when the two of them stopped suddenly, Eric was seen talking before Julian nodded and walked away. Jen groaned in disappointment when she saw Eric walking to our table by himself, making me chuckle."What is it?" Eric asked irritably at Jen before taking his place next to me."So when are you going to introduce Julian, Eric?" Jen replied in a sulky voice."Introducing her to you? H

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 ...

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.
