In just a hundred steps I had arrived at the outskirts of the forest directly adjacent to the highway. The sky was getting dark but there was no light on this lonely street. I stood shivering from the cold, if I sat down I was afraid that Alex would just pass me by.What forest is this actually? I thought while looking tiredly around me. What is clear is that this is not the same forest as before.About five minutes later I heard the screeching sound of a car coming this way. Hopefully my eyes fixed on the crossroads at the end, and sure enough Alex's black car appeared a few seconds later with a high speed that for a moment made me think he would not see me because of his fast speed.The car stopped suddenly about ten meters from where I was standing, the sound of tires screeching loudly. Alex stepped out of the driver's door, his eyes already golden and almost blazing in the darkness. His tired and panicked expression was etched on his face.I opened my mouth to call him but he sudd
Alex told me Vincent was back safely that afternoon. But just like me He immediately fell asleep at Evelyn's house, I also feel very tired every time my strength is used.'Where are we going?" I asked when Alex asked me to go. We walked to his car which was parked in Pack's driveway."I have to talk to Bastien. Jake has already gone to his place." Alex answered while opening his car door for me."Thank You." I muttered as I fastened my seatbelt. I waited for Alex to get into the driver's seat before continuing. "So who already knows about Bastien's plan? Still the same people as that night?""The whole Pack already knows whoBastien is. I can't hide it from them, but I've made everyone promise to keep their mouths shut. As for the only people who know about our plans are me, you, Jake, Reagan, Luca, and Jordan ... now plusVincent." Alex stared at the street in front of him with focused eyes. From the side her brown hair looks a bit messy until my hands itch to tidy it up. I reached o
Vincent and Bastien come to the Pack's house the next day. Of course Jake also showed up, even though he didn't like Vincent but it looks like Jake came because he wanted to hangout with Bastien. I don't know what they've been talking about since yesterday but both of them looked really excited chatting in Pack's yard. We are waiting for Alex who is having a routine meeting with other Pack representatives."Where are we going to practice?" I askedVincent also seemed surprised by Bastien and Jake's close relationship that had developed overnight. He was observing the two of them with slightly raised eyebrows."I'll be sparring at Red Forest with Bastien." he answered before turning his gaze to me. 'Meanwhile, you ... I haven't gotten a definite answer about the location. What is clear is that we need a safe place so that your powers can be released freely without injuring anyone.""Why did Alex suddenly let me practice? Did you say something to him?" I'm sure it was Vincent who was be
After walking for nearly forty-five minutes, the five of us arrived at an empty field deep in the Red Forest forest. Alex said this place used to be used for sparring, but now the sparring location has been moved to another side of the forest. Due to long disuse wild bushes grow around this field. Pine and oak trees grow around this field as well.Without further ado Vincent walked to the middle of the field then grabbed his shirt and threw it to the sidelines. "Let's get this over with as soon as possible, Evelyn asked me to have dinner at home because she will be cooking." he said while waving his hand at Bastien for him to come forward.Bastien also opened his shirt. I took a sharp breath when I saw the long claw wound on his back, it looks like the wound is very deep and new because it still hasn't healed to this day. He turned to me when he heard my breath, "Oh, it's just a souvenir from Adler." he said with a smile before focusing back on Vincent who was standing across from him
Several days had passed since Vincent and Bastien's first sparring; they had not had time to start practice because Vincent and Alex had been having frequent guests lately.Alpha Sam from the Yellowstone Pack and Luca who also happens to be a member of that Pack too. So the last five days we have our own activities.Vincent was always seen having a serious chat with Luca in the backyard, it seemed the two of them were chatting about Enforcer topics or maybe Vincent was digging for information on Dimitri.Jake sometimes also visits Bastien at his apartment. Now I know what they were talking about so excitedly all this time.Bastien's previous job at Pack Silver Moon was an auto mechanic, and Jake seems to be planning on customizing his black Mustang. They can talk about car parts for hours without a break.Vincent once tried to listen in on their conversation once, but he gave up after only five minutes.While Alex has been spending his evenings meeting with Alpha Sam lately, sometimes
I shrugged my shoulders a little hesitant, "I don't know ... I think Alex has a point, it's best to solve Dimitri and Bastien's problem as soon as possible. But on the other hand, we can't be careless either ... ""The time will come. Isn't Dimitri looking for me? Sooner or later he will come out of hiding" Vincent stood up from his spot and looked at me and Alex in turn, "You guys be careful ... Don't forget about Edward Adler.?"Where are you going?" I asked while watching him walk towards the door."Today I'm going on a date with Evelyn, I'll go home first!" she replied before exiting and closing the door.I stood up because I wanted to go back to my room. Alex looked up from behind his desk."You want to go too?" he asked slightly"I'm going back to my room, do you want to come?" I don't know why the question just came out of my mouth.Alex looked frozen for a moment, but then he stood up from his chair."Uh ... I mean I'm going to sleep for a bit. Tonight Annelise asked me to acc
I feel so stupid.I should have shouted while it was still crowded. The big man pushed me into the van with him and then slammed the car door shut really hard. Unfortunately my bag fell when I tried to fight it.The van moved as soon as we were inside. Two other men sat in the front seats, while his accomplice who was in the aisle earlier did not come with us.I bit the hand covering my mouth. The man withdrew his hand in surprise, before I could scream his hand slapped my face so hard that my head hit the car window."You son of a bitch." he grumbled, then he grabbed my hair roughly so that I was closer to him again. My vision was still blurry but his hand slapped me again until the corners of my lips were bleeding."If you don't shut up, I'll beat you up again. Do you understand?" he asked in a low, threatening voice.Both sides of my face hurt. I replied with a challenging look, "Just try."Suddenly he grinned happily, "Ohhh ...Lycan is really different from werewolves, huh? They
I fell back asleep several times after eating. My body feels better after waking up.Unfortunately I don't know what time it is. Maybe the day has changed again. I haven't seen the sun at all since arriving at this place.Edward Adler hasn't come to visit me either, only food pops up when I use the bathroom or when I sleep.After circling the room more thoroughly out of boredom, I found a wardrobe filled with clothes that were my size ... even down to underwear.Maybe the day has changed again.

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.
