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.
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
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
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
