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
Alex looked at me with a gloomy expression, "The Silver Moon Pack is famous for their hunting skills. That's why when you ran away with Vincent, Edward Adler was able to find you before me. They used to have a tradition of drinking Lycan's blood to improve the hunting abilities of Silver Moon Pack members.When I heard it, it felt like my body was doused with ice water, "They ... what?" I asked in a cold voice,"We all also don't like the sadistic rituals of the Silver Moon pack. It's been a long time since that tradition disappeared because Lycaan is extinct." Thomas Reed, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. "What Edward Adler wants from you is the pure blood of Lycaan flowing within you.""You are crazy." I muttered so angrily that I felt my hands begin to shake. Alex who realized my feelings gripped my hand tightly "Sam and Thomas are willing to help our pack in the upcoming war,""Aren't you two going to be the regulators in this war?" I asked both of them."Yes. In the
His brown eyes turned slightly golden as they locked on me so the atmosphere between us turned more intense. Why did our relationship turn this bad? I want to go back to the old Alex again ... I don't want to see him turn cold and walk away from me."I want to kiss you" he said suddenly in a low, slightly trembling voice. His words made me freeze for a moment, before I could respond Alex cupped my face with his hands. His face got closer then he closed his eyes and kissed me. Just like his voice, his lips also slightly trembled when they touched mine. He kissed me gently as if he was kissing something very precious. I can feel his hot breath on my cheek as his fingers slowly trace my face. I wrapped my arms around his neck and sat on his lap. Vaguely in the middle of our kiss I heard a muffled groan from Alex, I opened my eyes slowly then moved my face away to look at him but Alex still closed his eyes tightly. The expression on his face was painful."Alex?"A pair of golden amber eye
I stepped inside followed by Alex from behind me, this room looks almost as wide as Alex's work room. A dusty piano was placed in the corner of the room, Alex walked towards the curtains of one of the large windows and pulled them up until the sunlight illuminated the previously dark room. "Originally this place was going to be Alpha's workspace, but the decor is too... quirky to be a formal workspace." said Alex, pointing towards the ceiling. I also looked up and saw the colorful carvings that looked like paintings on the ceiling. "Wow" I muttered in awe. Even though the color has faded, it doesn't reduce its splendor. It looks like the carvings on the door and on the ceiling are still related as the pattern and forest theme are very similar. "Like an engraved story book." "Yeah, that's why I can't use this room as a workplace." said Alex from behind me. I couldn't take my eyes off the ceiling, somehow the carving looked familiar. Right in the middle of it was a large car
