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
"Edward ... Adler?" Vincent repeated still in a low, angry voice. "That bastard again?" He got up suddenly from the couch and headed for the door. "Wait, where are you going?" I asked, standing too. "Silver Moon Pack." he replied, "I will kill him tonight." "Vincent! I haven't finished telling you anything yet." I snapped before he opened the door and walked out. "Is there anything else I should hear?" he asked in a low, deathly voice. "Because if he hurt even one strand of Evelyn's hair-" "You can't kill him tonight. Night Walker and Silver Moon will have a duel in the Land of Ashes. After all, Evelyn Lance is fine, I can guarantee it with my oath." interrupted Alex in his absolute Alpha tone. Vincent turned around and looked at Alex with his dark green eyes flashing "I don't care about your oath as Alpha. Your words are as meaningless as trash to me if I can't confirm Evelyn myself." Alex clenched his jaw angrily, but to my surprise. He managed to control his emotion
Last night Alex and I talked until 2 am in his office. We talked about the upcoming duel in the Land of Ashes, Alex also gave me information about the Silver Moon Pack. It turns out that Edward Adler's family is notorious and feared enough by its members that many of them try to escape from the Pack, but when someone is caught they don't always fare well. Alpha Adler is famous for its 'wolf and rabbit' punishment, a werewolf who is sentenced to running from a group of other werewolves tasked with hunting down and killing him. Sometimes if he was in a really bad mood, Adler would order a relative or a victim's own family to kill him. Hearing it brings back memories of Charmaine and the huge claw marks on her body. I don't know why even though I don't like her, but I feel sad every time I remember Charmaine. Rumor has it that Edward Adler's 20-year-old youngest daughter was born an Omega. Alex explained to me that Omega is a werewolf who can't change himself into his wolf form,
"Ah..." I muttered when our eyes met, suddenly the fluttering of butterfly wings in my stomach just disappeared. Alex let go of my hand and followed my gaze. "What are you doing here?" asked Alex in an irritated voice. 'What do you think? I want to eavesdrop on you guys dating." he replied with an annoying grin. I almost couldn't believe it when I heard what he said. "Does your uncle have a split personality?" Alex whispered to me, it seems what he's thinking right now is the same as mine. I also feel a little amazed by his changed attitude from the sweet guy who asked me to the prom to the grumpy bloody werewolf Lycan, and now Vincent has turned into my annoying uncle again. "I want to talk to Caroline." he interrupted as he walked towards us, then Vincent glanced at Alex "I want to speak to him alone." They stared at each other for a moment but finally Alex gave in and walked out "I'm in my study if you need me." he said to me. Vincent took a seat across from me. He gl
The lavender fields still look the same as when we last visited. The boulder right in the middle looks like an island surrounded by a sea of lavender. The sweet fragrance of the flowers fills the cold air tonight. Alex lent me his jean jacket even though I was already wearing a hoodie jacket. Holding my hand, He guided me through the small path that cut through this flower field. We stopped right next to a boulder and Alex helped me onto it so I could sit down. "Do you want me to change now?" he asked, looking up at me. I nodded enthusiastically at him. Alex pulled one corner of his mouth up, forming a half smile that made his face look younger. Then suddenly Alex took off his black shirt, the bruises left over from his sparring with Vincent had faded drastically from his big and athletic body. My eyes were fixed on the muscles in his arms and six-pack abs that moved every time Alex raised his hand. It was only when his hand unbuttoned his jeans that I realized what he
The day of the duel between Pack Night Walker and Silver Moon finally arrived. In the morning, Alpha Thomas from Misty Willow, who becomes the regulator in the duel, gives bad news. Over the phone he informed Alex that Edward Adler had invited a delegation of the entire pack to attend Land of Ashes tonight. Even though the news made him very upset, therewas nothing Alex could do because there was no prohibition against watching duels in Land of AshesEveryone in the Pack seemed very busy talking about tonight's duel, although Alex had only decided to bring six people with him later. Because the territory of the Land of Ashes was not very large, dueling Packs were only allowed to bring a maximum of ten members, it was also to avoid cheating that would provoke an even bigger war. Meanwhile, each Pack delegate is only allowed to send three people.I was so nervous I had to skip breakfast and could barely taste my lunch. Vincent had been here since morning but he headed straight to Alex's
There was only one man in a military jacket standing alone not far from the pack of Silver Moon packs. His face looked to be in his thirties. The man with very close cropped hair was a big man, much bigger than Uncle Brent who I already thought was like a bear. His eyes fixed on his shoes, he leaned against a tree with his arms folded and an expression of indifference. Permanent scars on both of his cheeks made his face look vicious."They say the wound on Igor's face was made by Dimitri, his own brother." whispered Jake from behind me. "I don't know what he's here for. Be careful not to attract his attention, Cara. After all, he's an enforcer with impunity.""Is he that strong?" I asked again. "Stronger than Alex?"Jake didn't answer me right away. "I've neverseen him fight directly, but he is said to be the most powerful of the three Enforcers. Unfortunately he is also the cruelest. Igor has never missed an execution session, and he has never given a second chance.""But I am strong
In the end Alex failed to negotiate with the two regulators who presided over this duel. Since Vincent had already announced himself as deputy, no one could replace him unless the deputy resigned himself.Uncle Brent and Reagan, who had been socializing with the other Packs, came up to us with confused and worried expressions. I watched them talk to Alex, the three of them argued until they finally stopped when Alex shook his head.Jake on the other hand, looks satisfied. He folded his arms while leaning his back against one of the trees, not far from where I was watching."What's your minute bet? Five? Ten?" Vincent demanded again, in a tone even more annoying than before. I didn't care about the question."Are you sure you can hide your Leykan power among these werewolves?" I asked him."Tsk. I won't use my Leykan power." he answered, glancing at Igor."Then you want to kill yourself? You heard that Igor Stratovsky is the most powerful Enforcer." I replied.He turned to me with an a
Looks like Gabriel Adler is a little desperate after failing to blackmail us.A pinch of satisfaction that appeared made me smile at him, this time my smile was truly sincere unlike before. Of courseGabriel returned my smile with an angry look that he tried to contain."Guarding and hiding someone is not an easy thing ... " I muttered, deliberately enjoying his gloomy attitude mixed with anger. "Especially with my current situation."I had planned to recruit Cameron into the Pack I was about to found, but luckily I hadn't offered it to him yet.'Quickly say what you want."Look at this damn thing ... You don't know yourself, before he himself was stalling for time now he's trying to push me.I glanced at the two Pack members chatting in the communal room while occasionally glancing back at me andGabriel. Even though they greeted me kindly but everyone still kept their distance from me after I came back here."We'll talk in Alex's study." Gabriel followed me from behind as I headed u
Doctor Pack gave specific instructions that Alex should stay in bed for the next three days, at least until the broken bones in his leg and several fractured ribs begin to regenerate. Luckily his other injuries had turned into faint bruises in just a night.I thought last night's injuries and events would make Alex more submissive and docile than usual ... but I was so wrong.Even though I was stuck in bed for almost twenty four hours straight, Alex still kept bugging me about last night's incident, more specifically, he repeatedly made me say every detail and part where Viktor 'touched me'.At first I understood his anger but after a while I felt annoyed because the anger was now starting to target me. Being next to him almost drives me crazy myself."Alex, Viktor is dead. What else do you want?!" I exclaimed when I saw the furious expression on his face."You shouldn't have chased him! Do you know what he would have done if the seal didn't kill him?!"I had told him about the seal t
'Victor!" My shrill scream pierced the silence of this forest. I didn't expect him to stop when he heard my voice but the sound of his footsteps stopped instantly when he heard my voice. I easily caught up with him then I stopped a few meters behind him without making a sound.We are currently in the deepest part of this forest. It's already quite far from Alex's crash site, I think it's safe enough if I release my Leykan power here.Viktor turned slowly in the darkness of this forest and stared at me without expression. His semi-naked muscular body was still tensing up, preparing to fight me.Why didn't he transform into his wolf form, the question flashed through my head but I didn't have time to think about it further.My Leykan power is already at its limit and I can't suppress it any longer.Just like when I attacked Alex the first time, the atmosphere around us turned even more sinister than before. A strong wind blew so that the trees around it shook violently. The forest that
Her sudden anger made me freeze for a moment in shock.Alex was still standing clutching my shoulders with his hands that were still shaking a little. From this close distance I could see his pale face filled with worry and anger."It looks like you're very busy so I decided to go home ... " I answered in a half whisper.Her two golden brown eyes closed instantly as her tense jaw continued to throb. "I thought you left me again" he growled before opening his eyes again. A few strands of her brown hair fell to cover her eyes which at this time looked terrible."Alex, how many times have I told you? I will never leave you again."Actually, I'm also a bit angry myself because her trust in me is only limited to this, but at the same time I also understand her feelings. I took a deep breath and knelt down to hug his neck.I'm sorry" I mumbled, kissing his neck briefly. "I was just about to call you to tell you."Looks like Ihave to buy a new phone soon.His tensed body slowly relaxed and t
I should have been able to anticipate the responses of the four people sitting in front of me. Even Vincent who had previously heard of my plan returned to his gloomy face while shaking his head.I glanced at Jake, Alex, and Balthazar in turn and then cleared my throat to break the tense atmosphere that permeated the room. "Of course once I announce myself as Leykan and they can accept me, I will step down from the Alpha position."Jake glared at me, the expression on his face clearly saying are-you're-mad. I know my plan sounds a little crazy and risky. So far there has never been a female Alpha, let alone a Leykan, leading a pack of werewolves.Not to mention that I have to meet the minimum requirements for setting up a new Pack which is quite difficult to fulfill. In addition to having territories and ten members, a new Pack must also have the approval of at least six other Alphas as the total of all Packs in the country is twelve.Well, if all goes well I've got five Alpha endorse
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
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
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
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.
