Alex's words took me a bit by surprise. Didn't Lycan not have a mate? Does Alex still consider me his mate to this day? We haven't had a chance to talk about it yet, so I'm not sure how to respond to what he just said."I came to seek connection," he continued when I fell silent. "Right now our Packs need more allies to stand up to the pressure from Edward Adler and the Silver Moon Pack.""I understand," I replied gently. But talking about the Full Moon Party got me thinking back on our relationship. The mark on my neck is almost gone but it seems Alex still doesn't notice it.Right now my biggest fear is not about Leykan who doesn't have a mate ... But about a werewolf who definitely has a mate. If I actually open Alex's mate ... then will Alex's real partner appear one day?Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous. I can't get the picture of Alex with another woman out of my head. For me, I'm the only one by his side. I want to ask him because my curiosity is really torturing m
"Sparring?"."So what? Have Alex and Jake only been teaching you push ups all this time?" he asked, grinning playfully.My nod made his grin fade quickly. "Wait a minute ... So all this time they've really only trained you physically?""Isn't the title also physical exercise?" I asked back with a bit of surprise. Vincent rubbed his face with his hands when he heard that.He looked up at the evening sky above us, folding his arms across his chest. "That asked, grinning playfully.My nod made his grin fade quickly. "Wait a minute ... So all this time they've really only trained you physically?""Isn't the title also physical exercise?" I asked back with a bit of surprise. Vincent rubbed his face with his hands when he heard that.He looked up at the evening sky above us, folding his arms across his chest. "That asked, grinning playfully.My nod made his grin fade quickly. "Wait a minute ... So all this time they've really only trained you physically?""Isn't the title also physical exer
Three days passed and finally Vincent had to start carrying out his duties as a new Enforcer member. Because the Enforcer's base is quite far from Pack's territory, he has to travel two hours by car every day. This means that Vincent can no longer train me every day.He was skeptical when I told him Alex would train me next. But Vincent himself knows, right now we have no other choice. Who else in the Pack had dared to hurt me while training besides Alex?We practiced every day for two hours in Pack's backyard when it was quiet. Alex is never late for my practice schedule, even though I know he's been busy lately.Even this afternoon he looked a bit tired than usual. I tried to tell him to rest and take turns with Jake, but Alex refused.So far I've only got bruises all over my body, Alex was very careful to make me cut to the point of bleeding ... and it seems he really avoided attacking my face. Well, at least now I have started practicing which is actually not just physical trainin
His teeth bit into my skin but didn't leave a mark. I know he has no intention of giving his mark to me right now. Alex returned to lick my skin briefly and then he leaned his forehead on my shoulder to regulate his hunting breath. My whole body felt like I was being flooded with a feeling I had never felt before in my life.I want Alex more than this.I swallowed my saliva to muffle that feeling and then buried it deep. A feeling of dread always ambushes me when I think about our future, and I'm too cowardly to ask Alex about it.Suddenly Alex sighed and pulled his body away from me, he smiled back at me until his face became more handsome. "Let's go now, before I change my mind." ***I went alone with Alex, while the other Pack members were allowed to go on their own. I thought Jake would be going with us, but he wasn't on this show. Alex said Jake hated Full Moon Parties, as much as Alex.He'd only been there once to socialize.Even though Jake doesn't have a mate yet. Thinking abo
As the night progresses, more and more new guests arrive at the Full Moon Party. Some approached us to greet Alpha Sam as the host of this event. Among them the majority are women, I think Alpha Sam's single status makes him a magnet tonight.I felt bad because he still insisted on accompanying me even though I had said I would join the Pack Night Walker member group to join in the conversation with them ."I promised Alex to stay with you until he comes back," she answered stubbornly. Is that really a mandatory trait of an Alpha? I thought in surprise.Alpha Sam introduced me to the people who approached him. But fortunately he introduced me as Alex's sister, maybe he already knows about the fact that Leykan doesn't have a mate? Or maybe it's because he can't smell Alex from me anymore after the marks on my neck fade. What's clear, I'm a bit relieved that he didn't tell anyone that I mate Alex, even though there's a bit of giddiness in my chest when I think about it.While Alpha Sam
Alpha Sam opened the white double doors in front of us. My eyes were immediately greeted by a row of bookshelves that soared up to the ceiling of this room.Just like the previous floor, a blue carpet covered the entire library floor, only this carpet had a beautiful pattern of gold and red. Sofas, table sets, chairs, and sofa beds that look soft and inviting are placed in the middle of the room. In the corner of the room there is a large fireplace and several individual sofas that have high backs.This place looks elegant and classic at the same time.I raised my hand to trace the titles of the books lined up on the bookshelf while reading slowly, from encyclopedias and science books to books with titles I couldn't read because they were written using the Russian alphabet.Alpha Sam didn't follow behind me while explaining how many books were in this library. I nodded slightly in response politely. I took a deep breath to smell the old books and papers in this room, this is my most f
He stared at me for a few minutes that made me feel awkward."You impolite," he muttered like a grouchy old man. I wanted to laugh when I heard his mismatched face and voice. I threw a smile at him and propped my chin on the back of the sofa."Why don't you join the show downstairs?" I askedHer hazel eyes looked irritated. He scratches his black hair briefly before answering me. "I wasn't invited. And this is my house."I can't hold back my big smile, this kid is really interesting. "Your house? I thought this castle was Alpha Sam's property" I said with a frown.He took a deep breath and closed his thick book. "Well ... this place is in Sam's name. But I bought it."He even called Alpha Sam's name very familiarly. I blinked a few times, it seemed he wasn't lying. Maybe he meant his parents bought this castle. "Do your parents live here too?" I continued.The boy pulled the corners of his mouth up, even his smile looked mature although a little arrogant too. "You son of a bitch is im
Alex didn't notice my interaction withDaniel just now. He took me to a dark and deserted garden which is beside this castle. When I looked back I couldn't see Daniel and his balcony anymore.'What is it?" His question made me turn my head at him again."Oh, nothing" I replied with a small smile.Alex let go of my hand and then cleaned one of the park benches with his handkerchief. The garden is filled with flower bushes and walls of tall but well groomed plants. In the middle of it a medium-sized fountain was lit up so that the sound of gurgling water flowing was loud enough around us. The only light now comes from the full moon above us.'Cara, you can sit here" Alex said, pointing to the bench he had just cleaned."Alex ... you don't need to wipe it clean." I could almost see the wood on the bench was glistening. I pulled his jacket to wrap around me tighter then sat down on the bench ."I don't want your dress to get dirty," she said and then she took a place next to me. For a few
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.
