” ‘It was,’ said Caroline, ‘the house, the husband, the job, the wolves – everything was beautiful for a while,’ ” The hybrid assisted the Pack by applying her power and expertise. She contributed to their growth and even to saving people’s lives. Similarly to the way Bruce believed in Amelia, the Alpha never doubted her. Ema experienced a cold feeling that went down her spine. "And after that?" Caroline dragged her attention, her brown piercing, keen eyes back to Ema. “And then she turned her back on the Pack when it could have used her most. Many werewolves died,” ‘A whole night, a whole bloodline gone. ’ Ema felt that her face had lost the usual redness that symbolizes life. ”That’s —that is awful. ” However, Amelia. . . " He did not argue and Caroline continued, “Perhaps not the same?” ‘Perhaps. ’ Can you though be sure? Can you put all the life of your pack in jeopardy based on this view that you hold so dear? Ema slouched into her chair and glanced at th
He lay low in the dense shrubs, his lungs functioning as if they were governed by a metronome - steady, and even, his muscles did not appear tight anymore; they were calm. He had been in chase of Ema for hours clinging to her smell along all the curves of the forest pathways. It hadn’t been simple — Ema was skilled at disguising her tracks here and there and more than once Elijah almost gave up on her. However, He had sustained he was building up for the part of Bruce’s Beta over the years and had honed himself to a fine tip. Elijah was now lurking beneath the tree’s shadow as observed Ema approach a small, ordinary-looking cabin. The place was fine, he had to concede that. Were it not for the fact that he has been following Ema around he never would have located this area. It was entirely concealed thereby being hidden from the human eye by natural structures and what he thought to be anti-Visualization charms. Elijah‘s expression went serious as he observed Ema knock on the
Bruce furrowed his brow. So, an elderly lady? Were you able to identify her? " Elijah ground his teeth and nodded. "It was Caroline. " The name hovered in the air between them like a heavy, symbolic burden that they knew they were responsible for but didn’t want to face. Bruce’s eyes opened real wide as if he could not believe what he heard, and then they became slits of focus. ‘Caroline,’ He repeated and when he spoke her name once more, it was as if this weighed utterly against her genuine identity. "Are you sure?" "Definitely," Elijah said. ‘‘She was there even in the dark And Bruce… The cottage was awarded. Magically shielded They will do everything they can to keep whatever they are up to hidden. ’’ All of a sudden he felt frightened, Bruce began to pace and every single unnerved fiber reflected it. ‘This has taken me by surprise. Everything becomes different when Caroline is included. ‘ Elijah eyed his Alpha up and down, with the scrutiny that equals the amoun
Bruce wandered around the breadth of the personal portion of the Packhouse, seeing the Guard at night and the moon that was high above the building. There she was, sitting on the ledge and observing him closely with her eagle-like vision fixated on whatever he was doing. Lightly taunting him, she added, “If you keep that up, you’re going to wear a hole in the floor. ” “You ought to know something was wrong when your lover is quiet like this,” he continued. Bruce slammed on the wall and raked a hand through his hair and Amelia knew this was not a good sign. Finally, he stated what seemed to be in a low tone and with considerable strain, “It is Ema. ” The gorgeous Amelia brightened up instantly and stood from her sitting position. “What about her case? Is it something new? Bruce closed his eyes for a second and he took a big breath to center himself. Today Elijah followed her. She has been hanging out with someone. Someone whom we assumed was on Vacation. Amelia
Amelia listened intently to the night’s music while she proceeded on the path of the forest where Elijah directed her. Due to her half-breed nature, she was able to stroll softly yet at the same time, sense any danger or pursuit surrounding her. Amelia could sense the magical wards around the cabin rising the nearer she went to the Cabin. Holding back in agony she continued. Caroline had wanted to escape the situation at all costs and although she had attempted to defend herself enough with magic, it was not enough to dissuade a hybrid. Before her, the cabin rose, a black figure against the background of the night sky. Amelia drew closer to the structure warily, every part of her attention on detecting any sign of liveliness from inside. A light was on in the house and the windows were covered by curtains through which one could just make out the light. Amelia took a deep breath before approaching the door and knocked violently on it. Moments passed and it seemed that th
Caroline is stiff and nervous; she frequently paces the modest cabin she has been assigned. She could not acknowledge it to herself, but what had occurred to her with Amelia earlier that evening saddened her very deeply. The elder woman’s anger boiled with such audacity of the hybrid; she had dared to pursue Caroline and practically offer a threat. Caroline emitted a low growl of anger, standing with her hands by her sides ‘damn that girl’. “Who does she think she is?” But the wrath was gone almost as soon as it surged, replaced by the cold creeping back into her at the center of her being. Caroline was wrong thinking that Amelia would not do anything to gain what she desired. What more was she able to do if she had been able to locate the warded cabin, and face Caroline face to face? Caroline's gaze turned towards the mound of scrolls and books that clutter the table and the floor all over the cabin. It seemed so exposed, everything of it: records from the secret con
Caroline softly nodded at him, but she did not look content in any way. Ema, this is a bold step Indeed. Are you sure you are prepared though? This is our only chance, and my thoughts are we regard it as a call for us to make the proper decisions. What if it doesn't work?"It won't fall apart," Ema whispered. I assure you, Caroline. Everything has been considered. By the time Amelia is expelled, she intends to have left traditional leadership, so Bruce will have no choice but to stop trying to save her by tomorrow and install a stricter one.As she locked eyes with Ema, the older woman pondered the dangers they were prepared to endure to achieve the same expression in the girl's eyes. When she finally let out a breath, the sound was deep and passionate. "Ema, I hope it works. I am here to inform you that my return this evening was witnessed by the other werewolves. Word on the street will get around fast Anyone who knows that Amelia is half-vampire will undoubtedly be monitoring her
Bruce had thick drapes that he normally opened in the morning; unfortunately, the rays simply lighted the wooden floor across the room. Bruce placed his hands on the table with his fingers interlocked and a scowl on his face when deep in concentration. The man had gotten the sensation that there was something odd in his pack and that is why he had arranged to see Ema this early in the morning. He was determined to identify the root of the quarrel that seemed to build during the last few weeks. Across the table Ema sat, her spine straight, her gaze gleaming with curiosity and barely veiled stubbornness. She was waiting for such a moment and had planned it well; she was ready to launch her approach. Ema began by tendering an apology, “Thank you for getting this meeting so early, Alpha,” she said this with no shakiness in her voice while inside she felt the fluttering of butterflies in her abdomen. No, I wanted to address certain points that I had at the present I will take you
