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
My ragged breaths kept pace with the pounding of my heart. I haven't stopped my feet even though the pain bites almost every inch of my body. My thoughts keep going back to Vincent still squeezed in his car and the SUV. Who hit us? Who's after me? I know that at this moment someone is following me not far behind me, I can feel it."Caroline!" The sound of angry screams echoed around the forest. I stopped my feet for a moment, tried to find the source of the sound and then ran again. My heart was beating faster and faster, pumping adrenaline through my body ."Caroline! I'll find you!"The scream returned, this time closer. Now that I'm running with all the strength I have left, I don't even care about the pain in my body anymore."Caroline! Do I have to kill the guy in the car first?" The scream made my running legs slow down. "Or should I kill Alex?"This time my feet actually stopped, frozen in place. I turned my body slowly, the panic I felt before just disappeared."Caroline!" The
A mumbling sound could be heard faintly in the darkness, I half-heartedly forced my heavy eyes to open. What time is it?"Cars?" Alex's voice called me then followed by the sound of the door closing."Hmm. What time is it?" I asked in a hoarse voice I barely recognized. My eyes were still half open, I could see Alex who was standing at the end of the bed. He was wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans. I opened my eyes wider and looked at him. His beard would cover most of his jaw, his brown eyes staring back at me. Then a second later I realized we weren't in his apartment. My confused feelings only lasted for a moment, the previous events rushed into my memory. I was trying to get out of bed when pain hit my head. I dropped my head back on the pillow while groaning, my eyes tightly closed."Cara..."Alex's voice got closer. The pain made my previous sleepiness disappear. I opened my eyes again as the pain faded away, I remembered. I remember what happened yesterday. Vincent, the crash, Edwa
We didn't speak for the rest of the trip. Alex only spoke occasionally when he picked up the phone that entered his cell phone, after which he fell silent again. When we arrived, Alex didn't take me to Mum Dad's house or to his apartment, He took me to the big house where the pack meeting used to be.Alex parked Jake's jeep and got out and opened the car door for me, still not looking at me at all. A few people gathered in front of the big house, Mum, Dad, Jake, Annelise, Regan, Jenna, Dane and a few other people. Someone half ran up to us ... Evelyn Lance.I thought she would approach Alex, jealousy made my steps slow down, letting Alex walk a little ahead of me, But I was wrong, Evelyn didn't come to him, She ran past me and Alex headed towards Jake's car. This time my steps really stopped. I turned my body when she stopped in front of the jeep, her face looked panicked as hestared at the empty jeep.Then she came running back to me, "Where is He?" her voice sounded so frantic that i
"This afternoon there will be a pack meeting to announce Miss Lance's rogue status. You must attend." he added without looking at me. I could only stare at his tense back from behind."Alex,you can't do it .. ""Of course I can, I am the Alpha of this pack. Now go,Caroline. Go before I hurt you too."My entire wall ofndefense crumbled whe I heard his last sentence. "Before you hurt me too?" I repeated angrily. He didn't answer my question or return my gaze. "You want to know who Dante is, Alex? You're right. He was the one who gave me the idea to escape." Alex's hands clenched at his sides again."He planned all of this. He knows I'm Lycan. He's the one who has protected me all this time!"This time his body trembled a little, He was holding himself back from turning into his wolf form.'Because Dante is my uncle!"Alex turned his body, his eyes stared at me blankly for a few seconds.'He's the one who protected me all this time. He's the one who took me running from one place to anot
