Chapter Nine (Cara's POV) "And if I refuse to go on this date with you?, what happens?" I asked, staring at his lips.""Then... I'll have to force you," he said, coming closer.I swallowed, watching him. His thick black hair was neatly packed backwards, his emerald eyes staring at me with so much intensity that I might melt right before him, but then I see it—the little imperfection that I hadn't noticed. How didn't I notice the scar on his jaw? I traced my hands on his face and then on the scar but held onto my hands, taking it off his face.He didn't like me touching that scar; a part of me knew that there must be a story behind that, a story that he wanted to keep to himself, maybe a secret."What happened to you? How did you get the scar?""Just regretful mistakes," he said, letting my hands go. I wanted to know what those mistakes were, but I couldn't push it."Where would you be taking me on our date?" I asked, changing the topic. I had never been one to pry."It would be a sur
(Cara's POV)In the evening, there was a knock on the door. I couldn't deny that my heart skipped a beat. I was nervous. Who was this person looking for? Because it certainly couldn't be me. I wasn't comfortable around any of the wolves, not yet, not soon. I only felt safe with Rollins and Teo, but when the person wouldn't go away, I walked to the door, slowly and dramtically I pulled it open. I let out a breath when I noticed it was only a kind-looking woman in her mid-forties.She bowed, and I almost stopped her; she could be my mother. This was awkward, but she didn't seem to mind."Good day, Luna. I'm Chloe, a maid here, and the Alpha sent me to get you ready for... the date," she said, pronouncing the last words like they were the weirdest words she had ever heard.I nodded, opening the door wider for her to come in, then I shut the door."No need to call me Luna; Cara would do."Her mouth fell open. "I can't call you by your name; you are the Luna."What exactly was this Luna s
(Cara's POV)"I don't know what your problem is, Emmaline; it's probably too complex to mention, but I am your Luna, and if you don't let go me this instant, the Alpha would know of it, and you would be officially fucked." I say to Emmaline, giving her the hardest look I could muster."So cute of you, so you would go crying to the Alpha that I threatened you?, you are so fucking weak, you would soon fade away. This pack needs a strong Luna; a human can't rule. I would not only take your title, but I would take the Alpha; he is mine; I could give him so much that you can't," she says, then laughs. "You can't give him a decent fuck; what use are you for? You are so tiny, so breakable, I could kill you in a second, but you aren't worth the hassle...at least not yet, but I'll give you one good advice: do not cross parts with me. Cara, to the pack you can be a Luna, but to me you are nothing. To anyone who thinks clearly, you would always be nothing, I have been here long before you and yo
(Cara's POV)"You look beautiful," he whispered the moment I got to him, and I smiled wide.He stared at my dress again, as if memorizing it, his eyes hungry."What?""I'm just studying how easy it would be to take off," he said right there without any hint of shame, and I was all red again.Teo was at his side, pretending not to hear what we were saying, but of course he was smirking.Rollins took my hands, which had become sweaty and clammy, and led me out of the pack. That's when I noticed something I didn't pick out fast enough: he was hot, like his body held some kind of heat.~A black, shiny-looking Bugatti car was already waiting outside the pack house.He helped me in like an absolute gentleman before walking round and joining me in the car."Where are you taking me?" I asked him."A very expensive restaurant""A human restaurant?""Yes," he answered simply. My thoughts were centered on the possibility of escaping without him catching up."Don't think you can escape; you know
(Cara's POV)~~~~He moved in and out of me fast, spreading my legs wider to gain better access. He spread hot kisses on my cheeks, down my neck, and up to my lips again, like he couldn't get enough of me. His hands went to my cliritos, rubbing against them, and I bulked up against him, our breaths coming out in pants. I kissed his cheeks too, wiping off the red lipstick that stained them."I can never get enough of you," he whispered to my ears, biting on my ear, and then I felt myself build up."Rollins," I growled. Yeah, I growled like a wolf, like him, because I found it sexy, and he rocked faster, knowing exactly what I wanted, and I cummed hard, harder than I ever had, clenching around him. He split my legs wider, going faster, and he cummed in me. I could feel myself build up again, and he didn't stop until I had cummed again and again.Finally, he pulled out, pulling up my pants."I want my cum in you till we get back home."I nodded dazed, and then it started falling in place
(Cara's POV)The waitress finally delivered our order, though she gave one more glance at Rollins."Do you always attract this much attention?“ I asked, before I realized what I had said."Huh?""Don't tell me you don't notice all the stares.“"I don't care about those, all I care about is you, what you think of me and you seem to be missing all the stares you are getting.“"Me?""You don''t see what every other person out there sees, what I see.“"Jake didn't see that“, I said, that was another slip. I never wanted to bring him up here, but he was the one that made me doubt myself, made me belive I wasn't good enough."Jake, your ex boyfriend?“, he gritted his teeth, "Sometimes I wished I found you earlier, before anyone could come close to you“, he says, and it was surprising that this was what I wished for too."I shouldn't talk about him with you.“"No, I want to know all that happened in your life, who you are, I want to know everything about you.“I stayed silent for a few secon
I stared too long at his face, noticing his scar, and then I came up with an idea."Let's play a game. Twenty questions. I ask you a question you have to answer, you must be truthful, and you ask me questions too.He said, "Why do I feel like this has some deeper meaning to it than just a game?""We are out here; I think we should make the most of it.""You start"I started simple. "How old are you?""Twenty-five, next question.""Do you have any siblings?""No, just me.""Do you feel lonely?""Not really, but the thing is that werewolves don't breed much children like humans, something in our genre, I think.""What about your parents?" I asked, and from the look on his face, that was a much harder question. I hadn't seen any of his parents, and I wondered if they were still alive.""My mother was killed by rogues, and my father went out of his mind."I felt a flood of pity for him. I had thought I was the only one alone, I wasn't; he had gone through so much, far worse than I ever im
(Cara's POV)Just like me, he started with light questions, though I doubted I had anything interesting in my life—nothing mysterious, just my boring self."How old are you?""Twenty three"He smirked and said, "You don't look that big for your age.""How old do I look?""Nineteen, but from your 'story', I knew you were a bit older.""Well, it's not my fault; I don't grow as big as wolves."The questions went on easy; I had nothing exciting, yet he listened like there was something entertaining in each of my answers."I don't see you as a girl who likes to party.""Yes, I don't.""Then why were you at the bar?""I came with Sophia; she thought finding me a man to have a fling with would help me stop thinking about my breakup.""No wonder you seemed uncomfortable... but I guess I wasn't up to the standards, seeing as I only managed to scare you off.""No, it was overwhelming. Too overwhelming.""And I guess that's a bad thing?""Not really, just that moment. I was sure I heard you grow
(Epilouge, Part One)(ROLLIN'S POV) I walked into my room to see Gwen there. I didn't know how to tell her. Cara had decided that she would stay in one of the guests rooms till it was all over, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay here knowing that Cara was just a few rooms away and I had never been the one to get sneaky. Gwen had to know."We need to talk," I said to Gwen. She looked tiny now, too thin, but I still thought she was beautiful."It's about her, right?" she asked."I don't want you to stress yourself.""Let me guess, she is back at the pack, you both are back together, and you guys are waiting for me to die so you could go on with your relationships, right?" She asked, and I was silent. I had never felt this kind of guilt, but she surprised me when she smiled."I knew this was going to happen, but you see, I don't even care about the fact that all that went on between the both of us isn't real; I don't care about any of that. I am happy; you made me happy, and you
Three days after the war.I wished I could follow Rollins back to our pack; I wished... but I knew that things would never be the same, and so here I was, with Teo. I couldn't deny that I wanted to be with Rollins; every fiber of my being wanted him, but I couldn't have him.Teo walked down the stairs, fully dressed."Are we going somewhere?" I asked"No, not we, me."I shrugged. "Okay, when would you be back? ", He stared at me, giving me that long look. "Are you leaving me?" I asked, and I couldn't hold back the sob."Is not... is not in that way.""I don't understand.""We were never a thing; as much as I wanted it and still do, I know you love someone else, and I've learned some good lessons, we don't always get what we want , I would always love you, but not in that way, not anymore. You love Rollins; you would never settle for less. I want you to go get him.""What if he doesn't want me?""You both were meant for each other; I don't know what the outcome will be, but what I can
(Cara's POV)Teo led me towards the exit; he held the most of my weight, and I limped trying to go faster."Wait!""No, we have to go," he said, tugging me on, but I had stopped moving. I thought I saw something. "That window," I said, pointing to the window we just passed."No, Cara, not now.""Take me back," I said.Teo made an annoyed sound before taking me back. I looked through the window; I knew what I had seen. The 'human' girls ran out of the gate, but there were two vampires running after them. Those two vampires alone would be able to finish them off; how did they escape?"Sophie," I gasped."I'm sorry, Cara, we can't save them.""Yes, we can't, but you can.""Cara, I was given an order; I have failed him enough; please, we need to go.""Face the truth, Teo, I won't be allowed out of here, but they... they are so close to freedom, please. I have done so many wrongs; I want to do this one right thing, please.""Wait here, don't move one bit; you hear me, don't fucking move."
(ROLLINS POV)"I want to give you a more honorable death. I'll let you kill yourself," he said, throwing the gun at me. "One shot to the brain, that would do," he said, his face still having that smirk I hated."And what do you know about honor?" I asked, staring at the gun, that wouldn't kill him, I knew it."Nothing. That would have been a better death... but now," his eyes glittered. "Welcome to hell," and then there was darkness. I could not see a single thing, and then Cara came into view, it was like a clip was being replayed before my eyes, a clip from my mind. She walked into Teo's room and let her robe fall to the ground.Teo waited on the bed, watching her, his eyes watching every part of her. I couldn't run from this; it was like I had been trapped by some invisible force in a very dark room.And then I saw Teo again, forcing himself on her. I watched her sob.I inhaled. "Get out of my head," I growled."Not yet," Vlad whispered, and then I was in my pack. The Shadow Pack
(Laurent's POV)I couldn't look her in the eyes; she didn't know that I had come searching for her. When Teo told me she was here too, I knew that I had to find her, but I couldn't even look at her. I couldn't let her deceive me this one more time.Maybe we were never meant to be. The thought alone caused a strange kind of anger to rise in me, and I finished off the vampire. I exited her room, her scent in there was too strong. Finally, I could focus; I knew my next target. Ken.I ran through the hallways, checking through room, to find him. Nothing."I guess I am the one you have been looking for." Slowly, I turned back to see Ken, and a smirk spread on my face."I've always wanted to pass a stake into your heart.""Why? Because I have every right to fuck your mate, or perhaps because she would always be left with a part of me any fucking place she goes.""Maybe you are right, but guess what?" I asked, not even waiting for his answer, "We both won't be getting her.""Not if I kill
(SOPHIE'S POV)Ken left to help his master. Vlad. There had been an attack; I heard the shouts; I didn't know what exactly was happening, and maybe I didn't want to know anymore.I had made so many bad decisions in my life; I know I deserved this. I had never been a good girl, unlike Cara. I played with the feelings of others and was only loyal to Cara as a friend.My thoughts were cut short when the door to my room busted open and a vampire walked in. I knew him; he had always watched me with an expression on his face. I could only place it as hunger... and lust; he wanted my blood; he wanted to feed; and he wouldn't care if I died in the process. Ken was nowhere to be found; maybe he was dead. I was shocked that the thought of Ken dead didn't make me feel anything at all.The vampire licked his whitish lips as he moved closer, his dark red eyes regarding me, maybe deciding where to sink his teeth, and then they settled on my baby bump."No!, stay away from me!" I cried out. I hadn'
(ROLLINS POV)I knew I was in the right location when I got to the castle-like building; it had this dark loom over it; this had to be the place.Teo walked forward; he knew the directions. All through the journey here, I had given the two brothers some distance, as I knew they had a lot of catching up to do."That is the main gate; there are vampires guarding the gates—the strong ones; there is no way we can go in without being detected.""Then we would have to kill them as fast as we can," I said to him, and we walked towards the gates. Of course, the vampires noticed that we were not a part of them quicker than I anticipated. We had to act fast; there were about five of them at the entry. Teo ran forward; his speed alone told me he was stronger now, different. He faced two, engaging in hand-to-hand combat. I threw a wooden stake I had carved to him, and he slammed into the eyes of one. The remaining three came at me, all ready. I tried holding them all back at once till Laurent j
(Cara's POV)Shade walked into my room. I knew why he was here; it was time for my doze of wolf's bane. The past few days, I have begun to feel less pain anytime the liquid was injected into my veins, but I didn't know how much longer I would last.I didn't know where Rollins was now or what he would be doing. Had Teo found somewhere to start a new life? That would be better for him."It's so funny how this little liquid causes your kind so much pain," Shade said with a smirk as he drew closer. "I love seeing you in pain, and guess what? Vlad had been busy recently..." he trailed off, his hands on my throat. "And right now... he isn't watching you; he has finally seen you for what you are—a slut. He has that already; he doesn't need you, but I want to know... I've always wanted to know what he enjoyed when he was with you and what he saw so differently.His hands went down to my breast, and he pressed hard on it, his eyes brightening up. "Does this turn you on?""Get your hands off me
(ROLLIN'S POV)I couldn't bear it, that she was there with HIM. Teo assured me that he wouldn't harm her; Vlad wanted her alive... for other purposes, and that made me furious at the fact that he had touched her, but I guessed she knew when she was going to work for him.She was only helping. I tried to tell myself, after all she had said it, that I could be with anyone I wanted to be with, and I shouldn't be mad at her for fucking the vampire prince to get what she wanted. I couldn't help but wonder if she was hurt; if the bastard hurt her, I was going to kill him. But then again, vampires were already dead.Teo had managed to bring Laurent back from the woods. It was a wonder to me how he had yet again changed; little by little, he was becoming the Laurent I knew, but if you looked deeper into his eyes, you would see the little emptiness. Still, it was better; he was back now.Teo, Laurent, and Lucian sat in my office as we discussed tactics. Though deep down we knew the odds were a
