Alex was the first to look at me after I threw out my question. He shook his head slightly. Then Jake, Luca, and Jordan took turns looking at me too."No, Caroline. There were actually two more Rogues who came into the Night Walker's territory when you were kidnapped" explained Luca kindly.I don't know how long I held my breath, but when I let out a sigh, all the tension I felt before was replaced by relief. "I think ... I think the victim is Bastien," I explained, a bit embarrassed because I had made my own assumptions.Luca shook his head briefly as he pulled his eyebrows up. "Sorry, we should have explained that to you first.""It's fine, just carry on. I can ask Alex later" I replied. I'll ask Alex about Bastien's condition later. I still have a lot to ask.Especially about Vincent. Why hasn't my uncle shown his nose since that night in the Godelin mountains? I get really nervous every time I think of Vincent. He fought in his wolf form with Jake and Alex, didn'tVincent says he
Alex's whole body who was kneeling in front of me stiffened. So did Jake, Luca, and Jordan. The three of them looked shocked."Is it not Dimitri who hurt you like this?" Jordan asked, his black eyes widening. "So the Rogue who died this morning did it?"All pairs of eyes looked at me and waited for me to answer Jordan's question."Charlie and Zaya were assigned to look after me. There's usually one more werewolf but I only saw these two that day so I thought it was a good chance to escape" I explained as I tried to swallow the lump of sadness in my throat. Alex took my hand and held it, his warm hand giving me the strength to continue."After a week in that dungeon I was starting to feel hopeless. So I tried to run away. Maybe it was because Charlie panicked while chasing me. I'm here to tell Alex."I saw Luca shake his head as he listened to my story. "Caroline, you don't need to defend him. What he did and the consequences are his own fault," he said firmly."Luca's right" Alex said
Of the three of them, only Jake returned to report. Luca and Jordan immediately went after any traces of Dimitri they found. I felt a little guilty for not telling them straight away that I saw Dimitri, because before I thought he was just my imagination."We found no other evidence other than the few traces that Luca and Jordan found," Jake said as he threw himself onto the couch in exhaustion, his head up to the ceiling. "How can he hide his smell so perfectly?" he muttered with a deep frown."Vincent did that too. He disguised himself as a human for years," I answered.'Dimitri and Vincent are both half Leykan blood, and one of their strengthsishiding their scent so they can't be detected," I continued seeing Jake's confused expression."As long as they don't use Leykan's powers that they hide," said Alex who sat on the sofa across from Jake. He had been silent since earlier, after hearing Dimitri managed to escape from the Night Walker's territory his expression turned stiff."Ooo
I lifted my body and sat on the bed, my body felt fresher than before. I walked to the bathroom because I wanted to pee and check the wound on my back because I haven't had time to do that today.After finishing my little business I stood in front of the big bathroom mirror then opened my Cardigan and then the loose shirt I was wearing. I turned my body to check if the bandage I was wearing was stained with blood that was seeping again, but the bandage was still pure white without the slightest stain.When my fingers carefully touchedthe injured part over the bandages I felt no pain. It was very strange, even though this afternoon my whole back felt like it was on fire. Out of curiosity I felt harder, but again I felt nothing ... I just felt the pressure under the bandage.After a few moments of contemplating, I finally decided to remove the bandages covering my back. I took off one by one the bandages that stuck to my body and when I was finished I turned around again to see my back
Three days passed but there was no sign of Vincent yet. He still disappeared without a trace as if he had been swallowed up by the earth. Alex is still trying to track it down but so far it hasn't worked out anything.For the past three days we have received the latest news from Bastien Archer who is currently busy with his new assignment as the Alpha Pack Basilisk. Even though it's not official yet, all Basilisk members have started to accept it.At first the other members of the BasiliskPack could not accept the attack on Dimitri's loyal followers in Godelin's mountain range, but after that Bastien came forward and claimed to be the son of the previous Alpha. The people who once saved Bastien and smuggled him into the Silver Moon Pack also came forward to convince the members who still didn't trust Bastien.So far the problem has been resolved smoothly, but Alex as the person who is directly involved in the problem is getting more and more preoccupied too.Luka and Jordan came seve
I heard from Jake that apart from Bastien, now Luca and Jordan also know about Vincent's true identity. They could tell from Vincent's wolf form which had a silver tint. All the Leykans who had ever been seen transforming into their wolf form had silver fur, and the wolf Vincent yesterday had similar characteristics, although not all of his fur was silver.Luca and Jordan themselves felt a bit annoyed because they knew their defeat when testing Vincent in the Enforcer exam was actually because he had Leykan's blood that helped him. But Jake says the two Enforcers are willing to keep Vincent's secret ... for a while.Maybe both of them felt that they violated the rules, because as Enforcers they shouldn't be silent when they know that there are still Lycan descendants living in this world.I can't get rid of the guilt that tucks in my heart every time I remember him, he has protected me for most of my life and now Vincent has to reveal his identity because of me too.Nearly fifteen day
"He's- He's talking to me," I said in confusion.Alex frowned, his expression still tense."What?"I still looked at him with a surprised face.The wolf just now seemed to be communicating with me."Alex removed his hands from my shoulders, with the same expression as before. He looked towards the forest. "Do you think it was Vincent?" he asked in a near whisper. "Only fellow Lycans can communicate, and I didn't notice it coming into this territory until I heard its howling."We both fell silent, trying to hear any sounds that might come from the forest. Jake, Luca, and Alpha Sam are chasing the wolf ... they should be able to surround him easily."Was that really Vincent just now?" I asked in a tight voice."I don't know, I can't smell anything from this close" Alex replied. "I hope it is Vincent."But why did Vincent come in his wolf form? I'm sure Alex is also thinking the same thing as me right now. Did that mean the wolf was still in control of her body?We still stood in our pos
"Foreigner? You mean Alpha Sam?" I asked him.Alex changed into his wolf form then disappeared for a while to meet the three who were still looking for Vincent on the outskirts of the Night Walker's territory.Alpha Sam was in on the quest as well so Alex couldn't just send them back, maybe because he found it impolite."Alpha Sam of the Yellowstone Pack you mean? " he asked back. I gave him a curt nod."Oh, I didn't recognize the wolf so I thought he was a member of this pack" he continued lightly. "If he's Alpha Yellowstone that means he already knows my identity from Luca, right?" he asked again."It seems so." My brow furrowed as I looked at him again. "Alex said you lost control, that's why you disappeared for the past fifteen days ... "Vincent pulled one of his brown eyebrows up. "Why? Are you worried about this uncle of yours?" he asked sarcastically, even though Vincent usually hated being called my uncle."You idiot, of course I'm worried" I said seriously. "Have you seen Ev
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.
