"When I got to the scene of the massacre-" Dimitri stopped suddenly and cleared his throat awkwardly.I turned to him with a questioning look. He rubbed his mouth with the palm of his hand in passing before continuing.'By the time I got to your family's house it was too late. Me and Viktor only had time to visit the place briefly because our main goal at that time was to confirm your condition, but we didn't find your body ... ""So that's why you guys thought I was still alive" I muttered under my breath."Of course." His voice turned deeper. "Even though we didn't know each other at that time but you are my fiance?. At first I thought they kidnapped you, but it turns out you ran away with your uncle."I turned my gaze to the rocky road in front of me while my throat felt tight. "Did ... you see the bodies of my parents there?"Dimitri didn't answer my question right away. I could feel his hesitation before he finally opened his mouth again.'I saw Gregory Gold's body, while your mo
Alex and I froze in place after hearing Balthazar's last words.We turned to him together. The scowl on his teenage face deepened when he saw me surprised along with Alex."Wait, Balthazar- So Cara is really your daughter?" Alex gasped and staggered backwards a bit. Her bright brown eyes blinked a few times. All of his previous angry expression had disappeared from his handsome face.Why did Alex say it like he already knew about this before?Balthazar on the other hand, was still glaring at her fiercely. He shoved his hands into his pockets and his face darkened even more. "I don't know. Right now there's only one person who knows the truth. Get Dante to meet me asap, he still owes me an explanation. Ah ... tell him too, I'll come look for him if he dares to run away from me." His words sounded like a death threat.Alex nodded faintly then swallowed his saliva."And you Caroline, come inside when you're done talking. And don't stand too close to this idiot" he grumbled at me as he tu
For a few seconds we stood hugging each other tightly.I hold my breath while the forest's cold wind hits us again, but I only feel it for a moment because Alex's warm body protects me from the cold.I could feel Alex kissing the top of my head gently. His hands embraced me carefully, in contrast to me who hugged him even tighter.One of my ears against his chest caught the sound of his irregular heartbeat. Just like the rhythm of my heart right now.Unfortunately I was only able to survive for a moment. My stomach, which cannot be compromised, is churning again."Urgh." I pushed Alex's body away from me before stepping back from him as far as possible. I opened my lips to take a breath, but the scent of Alex's mate bond still lingering on my body made me even nauseous.I pressed my lips tightly again before looking at Alex who was still standing in the same place. A guilty look started to appear again on his face.I struggled to force my lips into a smile. "See you in three days," I
Because this cabin only has one bed and one sofa, so we took turns resting. I slept on the bed while Balthazar occupied the couch. Dimitri had been patrolling the wooded area around the cabin since three hours ago.I sighed as I looked at the wooden ceiling of this cabin. Maybe I can't sleep because I've laid down too much during my blackouts the last two weeks.Leykan's body is indeed great ... if I were human I would probably be dead by now.I pulled the covers over me and got out of bed carefully. Balthazar was still fast asleep on his couch, his soft snoring faintly audible as I stepped past him.I paused to look at his peaceful sleeping face.Dimitri lent us his clothes because Balthazar and mine weresodirtythey couldn't be cleaned anymore. Seeing Balthazar's teenage body sinking into Dimitri's clothes that were too big for him made me smile to myself.I continued my steps towards the back door of this cabin and slipped out without making a sound.Fresh cold air greeted me as soo
I thought Alex would come back for me in three days ... But the next day Balthazar returned from his daily patrol with Jake and Evelyn Lance."I found both of them lost in the forest," Balthazar said as soon as I came out of the cabin."Jake?" I whispered, not believing He was standing across from me right now. Jake smiled widely at me, his eyes looking at me with a warm twinkle that was very familiar to me."Jakes!" I ran towards him and hugged his big body tightly. He hugged me back just as tightly."Whoa, Cara!" The sound of his laughter rumbled in his chest. "Alex told me that you look different now ... But I didn't expect you to be this different.""What are you doing here?" I asked while pulling my body then turned to Evelyn who also smiled. Jake released me from his embrace then his big smile faded a bit."Oh, errr, Alex ... can't wait three days." Jake scratched his hair a little awkwardly. "He wanted to pick you up himself, but you know his current condition."Evelyn nodded a
With hesitant steps I began to walk into his office.At first I tried to hold my breath, but Alex looked at me while raising his eyebrows so I tried to breathe little by little.Balthazar was right ... the scent of the mate bond had almost completely disappeared, my nose could only faintly detect it.I raised my hand when my steps almost reached where Alex was standing, I looked up again to see the expression on his face that looked a little impatient.But before I can take his hand, Alex moves faster than me, his hand grabbing my wrist and pulling me with a jolt into his arms.My feet that were still walking had tripped over the carpet but he held my body with his hands and then pulled me into his arms."Now that you're in my arms, I'll never let you go, Cara," he whispered in a voice so low that only I could hear him. Somehow his intonation sounded like a threat in my ear.I buried my hot face in his chest while my heart pounded harder. Her familiar scent enveloped me like a blanket
Actually I also want to meet with Vincent at this time. Balthazar will probably interrogate him about the ring he gave me, given his temperament I've been a little worried about my uncle's safety ...I took another breath then turned back to Alex's study. My footsteps sounded loud in the silence of this house, but usually the laughter and chatter of the Pack members who live here filled every corner of this place."Cara?"My thoughts were broken when Alex called my name. I looked up at him, Alex was sitting on the edge of his desk.'Oh, are we going home now?" I asked before entering his office.Alex didn't answer my question. He got off his desk and stepped closer to me, his eyes turning brighter than before. My feet stopped in the middle of the room and I stared at him.Something was different about him tonight, but I can't explain what changed about Alex ...His intense gaze kept on me until he stopped right in front of me. One of his hands reaches up to tug at my hair before gentl
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.
