"Werewolves need more nutrition." Alex defended himself "We'll take you to school." he added."We? You mean you and Jake?" I asked, "I can go alone." I can't imagine being in the same car with both of them."We'll drive you Cara. Jake and I are going to my new apartment, so we're on the same line, right." he replied while biting the last piece of bacon."Errr ... I'd better go alone.""I'm moving into a new apartment today, maybe tomorrow I can't take you anymore.""Oh ... " A part of me suddenly felt disappointed hearing that, "You're moving already?" I did my best to hide the disappointment in my voice."Yeah ... So today I'll take you, okay?""Oh, okay." with a thin smile I continue my breakfast.Alex and Jake waited for me downstairs while I grabbed my bag in my room. Being in the car with Alex and Jake was the last thing I wanted, but since today was Alex's last day at home I couldn't refuse it."So who are you going with?" asked Alex while starting his car engine. I sat next to
I nodded at Dane "His apprenticeship is over.""Well, it's about time Alex came back." muttered Dane which made my forehead wrinkled. "It is time?" I repeated to him."Errr, Yes ... ""He meant it was time for Alex to take over your father's real estate business, Cara." interrupted Jen with a smile."Oh ... you're right, that was the plan." I replied to both. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone walking towards us, Eric and behind him was Julian-his prom partner."Ohhh ... is Eric finally going to introduce his new girlfriend to us?" Jen whispered back with a small laugh Dane. But our hopes were dashed when the two of them stopped suddenly, Eric was seen talking before Julian nodded and walked away. Jen groaned in disappointment when she saw Eric walking to our table by himself, making me chuckle."What is it?" Eric asked irritably at Jen before taking his place next to me."So when are you going to introduce Julian, Eric?" Jen replied in a sulky voice."Introducing her to you? H
"I hate this kind of Alex." I muttered as I opened his apartment door. What is clear this time he let me go, Alex did not even follow me.I leaned on my back while the lift slowly descended towards the lobby, did I overdo it earlier? Alex looked really angry when I told him about Vincent. But he wasn't thinking rationally, Alpha or not. Just because we are mates' then he feels entitled to ban me from hanging out with the opposite sex. The sound of the bell ringing before the elevator door opened, broke my thoughts. I threw a polite smile at the security guard who was standing near the reception desk when I passed him."Ms. Caroline?"My head turned as my name was called."Mr. Brennan just called, he asked me to hold you for a moment. Said you left something behind.""Why, thank you" I muttered with a frown because I didn't feel like I was leaving anything behind. I walked back to the elevator and pressed the up button. As I was about to step inside, the elevator door next door also op
"There isn't anything" I answered quickly while turning towards the elevator, ugh, the same elevator again."Maybe we should go down the fire escape.""Yup." Alex walked ahead of me to the fire escape.Mum came into my room after dinner with a big box in her hands. "Cara, this is a dress-'I groan before Mum finishes her sentence "No fluffy dress Mum!?"Of course, fear. Are you underestimating my taste? I chose it myself this afternoon." Mum replied sitting on the end of my bed and opening the box and the paper packet inside. Mum pulled on a dark green velvet dress, no puffs and no bows. Simple and very elegant. I stare at the dress in Mum's hands for a few moments with a stunned expression."You like it?" Mum asked with a big smile."I like it very much.""I think this dress matches your eye color." added Mum still with her big smile. "But I can't show you your prom dress right now-""Wait a minute ... This isn't my prom dress?" I asked confusedly.Mum chuckles and shakes her head "O
I turned to Alex who was looking at me with an angry smile behind me. His golden brown eyes flashed as he stared at my expression."Even to the ends of the world I will always find you, Caroline." He held out his hand to me.For a moment my breath caught in my lungs. Alex wore a black suit with a white shirt. The top two buttons of his shirt were open. His hair was unusually neatly combed ... and he looked so handsome that it made me freeze in place. His hand that was still outstretched moved impatiently to grab my hand, I reflexively took my book and bag before he pulled me out of the cafe."Alex-""Shut up, Caroline." cut in Alex, then he pushed me resolutely into his car before slamming the door shut making me jump on the spot. I know he must be very angry by now. But how could he find me? The cafe is not a place I usually go to and it's quite far from home.Alex drove the car in silence, his entire attention focused on driving. Although at this point it would be more accurate to c
Alex was shocked to hear my words, a hurt expression flashed across his face before he covered it with his stiff face. "Mum and Dad would be hurt if they heard what you just said.""Your family-Mum,Dad, Jen, Mr. Turner and the others, they are the Pack and your family! Not mine ... I don't have anyone."Alex gritted his jaw, his brown eyes gleaming with rage.What about me? Am I also nothing to you?"A few drops of tears fell from the corners of my eyes. What am I doing right now? I really want to hurt Alex but I also don't want to see the look on his face right now. "You -it was a mistake, Alex. I'm not your mate.""You are my mate." He growls at me "Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever."I shook my head, trying hard to make him understand but I couldn't tell myself. "You are wrong.""What's wrong with you-"Is Jen a werewolf too?" cut me off suddenly.Alex frowned then shook his head, "Are you angry that we hid our identities from you? By the way, werewolves are prohibited from t
"This place is the main home of the Pack, where we gather and meet."So this is the castle from yesterday. I was a little curious about the contents because from the outside this place looks very wide. "Like headquarters?" I asked again.Alex smiled a little when he heard that, "Yes, you could say like a base. The main house of the Pack is usually only occupied by Alpha and his family."'So ... you're going to move to this place in the future?" Then what is the new apartment for?Alex nodded again "But for now Uncle Brent still has it. I'll be moving in after we get married-" Alex stopped when he realized what he was saying. An awkward silence enveloped us for a few moments."I'll get you some food." he said breaking the silence between us. I'm not sure my stomach can digest something right now."Can I just go back to sleep? My head really hurts." I said while holding my temple which was throbbing violently. Even though I wanted to talk about yesterday afternoon too but I really need
Alex didn't answer my question, his hands went back to combing his hair unconsciously. "We call them Lycan. Apart from having violet irises, they can summon the power of the moon-""Wait a minute, I don't understand-""Just like you yesterday, Cara. The sky suddenly darkened, the thick fog, violet irises ... Cara, those are all characteristics of Lycan's power."Alex's words made me cover my mouth instantly. He looked at my shocked face then pulled the corners of his mouth down. "There's just one problem ... " Alex combed his hair again, this time with both hands. "The Lycans were extinct a hundred years ago.""They are extinct." I repeated to him, "So I'm neither Lycan nor werewolf."Alex looked at me with a gloomy look, "There is a reason why the Lycan became extinct. The Lycan are not friendly creatures, they kill humans, even fellow werewolves just for fun. The last Lycan was killed by the power of the three Alphas, after that no Lycan was ever seen again . Many victims fell when
