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
Ema raised her eyes to focus on his and when he inquired whether he should stop she shook her head in agreement. She answered, “Only this way can the pack be reunited. ” “To show it to them of your commitment to the pack’s future and our ways…” we shall mend all the problems Amelia has done, with me as the Luna, we can strengthen the pack anew. The following silence seemed to stretch and it felt like it would take an age for the next sound to be made. Thus, while the two of them stared at each other, waiting for the Alpha to give his verdict, Ema quivered in anticipation of Bruce’s response. Everything she worked for and the plans that she and Caroline set out required this specific moment. Bruce had been silent for quite a while and then he spoke, at least this is how it appeared to me. His voice was collected and steady which did not convey the tiniest trace of the anxiousness Ema knew he had to be going through. I pointed her and said gently, Ema, I know that you have be
A few months earlier, Amelia finally accepted the fact that the little home in the woods had served as both her sanctuary and her prison. She seemed to be weighed down by the weight of time, unable to do anything except sit at the window and watch the raindrops land on the glass. An entire year. The man she loved, her house, and her pack were all forcibly taken from her for a whole year.Instead of a pulsating bond, Amelia felt a throbbing agony as her fingers apathetically ran over the skin surrounding her mate mark. The sensation of Bruce's arms around her, his laughing, and the things she would receive with the pack were all things she attempted to recollect.The memories were fading away day by day, much like carelessly left photos in the sun.A phrase that Amelia would repeat to herself repeatedly throughout the months: "He will come for me." "Elijah assured me that this is temporary. We are strategizing. I simply have to be patient. ” But, as soon as she uttered it,
