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
With a bit of frustration I grabbed Alex's BMW car keys and ran to the parking lot. Even though the pack house is usually visited by many werewolves, but this afternoon it felt very quiet. Worry made me hasten my steps."Luna!" Charmaine tried to follow me but she seemed to know that keeping me from going would be pointless.We got in Alex's car and started driving. I'm thankful his car has a GPS system because I don't know the quickest way to the Ripper forest. Hell, if only I could turn into a werewolf then I could get there faster than using a car.It took 20 minutes to reach the Ripper forest, when normally it takes 1.5 hours. We cut our way through Mr. Abernathy and exit directly at the fork into the Ripper forest. The sky outside was getting dark with the overcast weather, as if today's weather was trying to match my mood.Charmaine gripped her seat belt tightly, panic on her face again when we arrived. I looked at him with some sympathy."You can stay in the car, Charmaine." I
(POV - Alexander Brennan)When I saw Cara walking from the gate of Pack's house, a sense of relief enveloped me until my legs were almost unsteady. But that geeling only lasted for a moment"What's wrong with Luna?""What's all that blood?"The whispering voices of the people around me made my feet stop in place. It was like being splashed with cold water and my whole body froze as Cara walked towards us blankly. Blood covered her entire body from the ends of her hair to her bare feet."Smells like werewolf blood ... " Jake who was standing by my side muttered. We know this smell, because just a few days ago we encountered a werewolf from the Silver Moon pack. I took afew steps away from Jake and the others.Someone ran over to Cara and spoke to her, but Cara kept walking towards me, His vacant stare makes my hair sprinkle, like there's no soul left in. Those blue eyes. I didn't have to guess to know what happened, my pack members reported Cara who disappeared as soon as I returned f
