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
(Back to Caroline's POV)Alex and I became more strained after that night.Alex slept in his study, while I locked myself in our room all day. Mum visited me and brought some food but I pretended to be asleep when she came into the room. Jake is my only source of information at thebmoment this afternoon he visited to accompany me in between his busy schedule. But what we talked about was mostly about the progress of the war between our pack and the Silver Moon pack."I know it's a little late," I said as I pulled open my bedroom curtains letting the late afternoon sun flood the room, "But what's the name of your pack?"Jake, who had been busy munching on a cheeseburger, glared then coughed several times because he was choking. "Are you kidding me? You didn't know this whole time?!"I shrugged my shoulders and handed him a glass of soda. "You guys never mentioned it."Jake shook his head as he drank his soda from the straw, "You really are ... " He crumpled the cheeseburger wrapping pa
For the first time Vincent lowered his head, I thought he was showing his submissive attitude because Alpha Alex's aura was radiating very strongly at this time. But a few seconds later he struggled and lunged towards Alex until both of them fell together into the grass. The rest of the pack and Jake tried to pull the two away but not before Vincent caught Alex in the jaw once, on the way to hitting him a second time Alex grabbed his hand easily."The first one I can still tolerate because of my previous misunderstanding, but the second one you will have to pay for." Alex said in a threatening tone that made the fine hairs on my hands bristle. Her brown eyes turned evenmoregolden.Alex's warning didn't make Vincent try to stop his attack even though he was already being held back by several other pack members, so Jake had to step between the two. Sometimes I forget that Vincent is half Leykan."Remember what I said, if anything happens to my mate ...you'll take the blame, Brennan."Ale
"Cara... returning home will only harm Mum and Dad." replied Alex more carefully. "Okay." I muttered finally "If you can find Evelyn Lance in 3 days, I will stay.""I can't repeal the sentence." His face stiffened again when he heard my request.My anger reappeared again, "Then I will leave.""Did he threaten you?" asked Alex in a low voice. "And you think I'll just let you go?""Then you're going to lock me up?!” I shouted angrily. “Why don't you kill me as well? Isn't that all the problems will be solved? Your grandfather must be feeling very proud from hell!”"What is it?" asked Jake breathlessly while Alex was still frozen in place with a hurt expression."We have to find Evelyn lance quickly." I said to both of them. "She's pregnant with Vincent's child.That means Evelyn is carrying my nephew." I added angrily. Jake who didn't know my realrelationship with Vincent opened his mouth very wide in surprise."If in 3 days we haven't found her, I will tell Vincent the truth." I said
