"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
I wanted to tell Alex everything, but my instinct told me if I told him now there would only be two responses from him; Alex will think I'm crazy or he'll fall back on his Lycan theory. So I just shook my head and gave him a small smile, "Just lack of sleep.""You can sleep at home all day." Alex answered while pulling one corner of his mouth into a smile that never fails to make my heart stop beating for a split second. Even his waking hair doesn't detract from the effect of his smile.OK." I replied while returning his smile without being able to prevent it.***Mum was in the kitchen when I visited the house. She was cooking a casserole for dinner. Alex was picking me up in 3 hours so I decided to keep myself busy helping Mum cook. Meanwhile Dad just got home at 5 o'clock."You okay with Alex?" asked Mum as she put the casserole in the oven.'Hh-mmm." I muttered. Mum asked me to prepare the salad and dressing. "Mom, can I ask you something?"Mum turns from her oven to face me "Sure
I decide to go to the bathroom which is the farthest from my class, hoping that when I get back Eric and Jenna have finished talking about Prom. The back of our school is directly adjacent to the Pepperwell forest, even though there is a guard rail but in certain parts it has been damaged. The few kids who wanted to smoke or skip classes usually did so while hiding in the Pepperwell woods.The fresh morning air and the scent of the trees greeted me asI came out of the hall of the main building. There wasn't anyone in the backyard this morning, but usually a few kids who had skipped classes were hanging out under the Oak tree. I walked towards the bathroom slowly, enjoying the sound of the trees rustling in the wind from a distance.I wash my hands then wash my face a little while in the bathroom. When looking at the mirror in front of me my eyes were glued to my reflection, a few drops of water still running down my face. My eyes which are green bluish are now more blue in color, I wr
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.
