"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
"Of what?" I insisted."From ... drinking Lycan's blood."My stomach hurts when I hear it. I took my hand off Jake's jacket sleeve and leaned against the wall behind me."Cara, you don't need to worry. As long as you don't meet Alpha Adler in person, he won't know about your identity and Alex will never let him.""Adler? Again, the name sounded familiar. "Then if Alex intends to provoke a war between packs, how will he do it ?""Alex has been Alpha Silver Moon's rival for a long time, because our territory which is quite wide borders directly with the territory of the Silver Moon pack. If one of the Alphas collapses, the territory will automatically belong to the Alpha with the closest border. That's why Edward Adler has always been very interested in our territory, He is waiting for the right moment to-"I didn't listen to Jake's next explanation. My whole mind stopped when I heard that name.Edward Adler.My memory goes back to a few weeks ago when I visited Alex's apartment. My kne
My smile faded a little when I heard it, "You ... who chose this dress?""Yeah. Mum said she already cancelled your previous dress order because you weren't going to prom. Because time was running out so I ended up buying it ... Did you like it?"I can't answer that. I felt the corner of my mouth begin to vibrate. Shit, now I want to cry.Alex who noticed the change in my expression walked closer with a worried look. His hands touched my arm slowly, "Cara, what's wrong?""It doesn't matter." I replied with a smile but tears started to well up in my eyes. "I just ... " I swallowed my spit when I saw her worried brown eyes, " ... love this dress. Thank you, Alex.""Then it's not in vain I-"I cut off his sentence by kissing him. Alex was a little surprised but not long after he kissed me back, when his hands cupped my face I put my arms around his neck.'Alex ... I love you" I whispered in the middle of our kiss.Alex pulled his face away then studied my face closely, one of his thumb b
I dreamed the same thing again.My eyes flutter open in the dark wood-paneled room again. Everything happened exactly as before, the sound of a woman's scream that was too painful to hear, the sound of footsteps approaching me, and the conversation of two strangers who were on the floor above me. Only this time I didn't feel afraid, I felt nothing but tears running down my cheeks. My two small hands hugged my knees tightly."You found it?" the strange man's voice came from the floor above me. Several other footsteps approached me. The sound of objects being thrown made my body jump slightly. Then when I looked up I could see the silhouette of a shoe through the wood floor. He was standing right above me. He was not the same man who had previously spoken."I found it." The voice of the man above me finally sounded. His deep voice sounded familiar to my ears. The shadow above me bent, then a second later He opened the door where I was hiding. The light from the bright room lamp enters t
