"What? How many?" I asked while standing, Bastien also stood up and followed us.'Two, but only one went inside," Jake replied as he led the way down the steps into the outer courtyard."How did he get in here?" Bastien was the only Rogue to break into our territory, I can't believe we conceded another one this quickly.I allow it," Jake replied from in front of me."What?!" I snapped angrily.Jake turned to me and Bastien. "The woman said your name. She said she had information on Cara."My feet were running before I knew it, I was ahead of Bastien and Jake into the front yard of the Pack's house.Reagan and Tim were looking after a blonde woman who had a frightened expression but tried to hide it. I approached them with hasty steps."Is he the one?" I asked out loud before I reached the three. The woman gasped and lowered her head. Reagan nodded curtly with a gloomy expression.The woman was wearing dirty clothes, her hair also looked messy. Looks like he was in a hurry when he came
In order to shorten the time, our group and Luca's group decided to meet on the street.We split into two cars. Me, Jake, Bastien and Vincent were in a car because I wanted to talk to Vincent before we got to Pack Basilisk territory. While Luca and Jordan were driving different cars, they followed closely behind.Vincent looks fine even though he has been in detention for five days. Only his grave and serious expression seemed different from his usual demeanor."So it was Dimitri who took Caroline?" asked Vincent as soon as he got into the car.I nodded and looked at him in the rearview mirror. "Yes. An hour ago the Basilisk member who escaped from his Pack told me."I immediately briefed him on the current situation."Dimitri Stratovsky ... " Vincent muttered his name in a venomous voice. "I thought he was smarter than this."'He seems to think Cara is your mate," Jake said as he drove.Vincent didn't reply to Jake's statement, but his expression hardened when he heard it. I can read
(POV - Caroline Brennan)I don't remember how long I lay on the ground.Maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours. My consciousness faded and reappeared several times. But I can feel the vibration of the feet of several people running towards me, with difficulty I open my eyes again to see.Dimitri bent over me, I could faintly see him open his mouth to scream but I couldn't hear his voice. An angry and worried expression appeared on his face. His black blue eyes were so dark that they were almost the same color as black.Why did he make such an expression? I thought amidst the pain I felt. For a moment I remember Alex's face. He would have put on the same expression Dimitri had now if he saw me in this condition.Dimitri stretched out his arms to hold me but I lost consciousness again as an intense pain coursed through my back and through my body.***The pain is confusing.For amoment Ifelta burning heat up my spine and then a chill that made me sick. Then I lost my senses again, but I
I turned my body quickly facing the source of the voice that called me just now.Dimitri was standing not far from me, but he was standing in the middle of the trees so thick and dark that I didn't notice him as I passed him.That meant Dimitri had been watching me all along.My heart started pounding hard inside my chest. "What ... Is that Alex?" I asked in a tight voice. I could see his tall silhouette in the dark, but I couldn't see his face clearly right now."Caroline" he repeated in an awkward voice. I blinked at him, his voice didn't sound awkward ... but sad.Dimitri held out his hand to me. "If you choose me I swear I will never make you regret it.?I stood frozen in my place. What is he really talking about? Don't tell me he really likes me ..."Dimitri, is that Alex?" I repeated again with a firmer voice than before.Dimitri didn't answer me for almost half a minute."Alex will never make you happy. He is not a match for you. I can make you shine as a pure-blooded Leykan, w
I must be crazy to even think about giving up. Even though we are very close.You suck ... You suck. I let my body rest for a few minutes while closing my eyes. The pain in my back was getting worse. The shirt I was wearing now was covered with cold sweat and blood, while my body, which couldn't hold back, shivered because of the cold from the mountain weather as well as the heat from the claw wounds on my back.My hands are now covered in my own blood, because several times I tried to feel my wet back to check it.Dimitri probably put something on the wound. I want to lie down and curl up hugging myself, back into the empty darkness without any pain."You're weak," I whispered hoarsely, then I opened my eyes again to stare at the soaring fire. As if it was encouraging me, the fire was also getting bigger as time went on. I smiled then stood up and started walking again.The sound I heard grew louder as I got closer. From where I was I could see a bunch of werewolves attacking each ot
My throat feels very dry. Maybe because of the discomfort I felt, or maybe because of the buzzing sound in my ears that made me have to open my heavy eyes.At first my eyes looked cloudy. I have to close it before I try to open my eyes again. One by one the faces of people I recognized looked back at me.Expressions of surprise, worry, anxiety, anger, shock adorned the faces surrounding my bed. I tried to speak but my throat was so dry I had to clear my throat several times before I could utter a word that sounded so hoarse."Apha," I said, looking at Mum, Dad, Jenna, Evelyn, Jake, and finally Alex. He stood farthest from my bed.I'm currently in my room. The room I've lived in for the past thirteen years. For a moment I don't recognize this place because I've been living in the Pack's house for the last few months."Cara-""Baby, you have to-""How's it going-"Everyone spoke together as soon as I said something. I closed my eyes again to block out the pain and confusion in my head.
I woke up again when my room was still dark, it seems Alex turned off the light before he left. I stared at the hundreds of tiny phosphorous stars on my ceiling. A very, very relieved feeling welled up in my chest, I don't have to stare at that whitewashed ceiling anymore.I glanced at the glass of water that was next to my bed, my throat felt very thirsty. With difficulty I dragged my body to the edge of the bed and then tried to move my hand to reach the glass.But my whole body still can't coordinate properly because of the side effects of the medicine given to me, so instead of taking the glass I nudge it so that it falls to the floor.The sound of glass hitting the floor and breaking into pieces was loud enough in the silence of this house. Shit, I thought a little frantically. Alex could definitely hear it from his room.And sure enough, a second later my bedroom door burst open. Alex with messy hair and bare chest examined every corner of my room with a wary gaze, then his brow
It turned out that I managed to get off the balcony safely. Even though my waist hurts because I hit the balcony railing of my room, I can still ignore it.Without looking back I ran towards the bus stop which was about half a kilometer from my house. Luckily the bus I was going to take came right away when I arrived at the bus stop, because it was still eleven o'clock in the afternoon so there were only a few other passengers on the bus.This bus doesn't stop near Pack's house, in fact I still have to walk very far becausePack's house is located on the outskirts of the city where there are not many settlements, so public transportation doesn't pass through that place.I stuck my head against the cold bus window staring at the people out there busy going about their day. It looks like there's a parade of school children around here, because along this road it looks a bit crowded.I hope Mum won't notice I've run away before I get to Pack's, I don't want to freak her out I thought as
