CHAPTER FIVE
(Cara's POV)I didn't think Alpha Rollins was the only freak in this vehicle because here I was, actually believing that wolves exist, how pathetic, but there was no other way to explain the speed and his ability to read my mind. I should be afraid; he was about to capture me, maybe take me away, but for some reasons, I wasn't. On the contrary, I was allured by it all—his beauty, so strange, so unique, I couldn't be blamed. Any other girl would fall right on their knees to have a guy like Rollins chasing after them. That leads me to the question that had been on my mind since I first saw him. Why me?Alpha Rollins hands trailed up and around my body. He seemed starved, like I could only give him this, but that has to be wrong. I wasn't the prettiest girl, and I bet he could have any other, but then why me? Was this all like some kind of trap? It was risky to let a man like Rollins in. I was treading on a dangerous path, and still yet I couldn't turn back. I loved the way his hands felt on my body, like they were made for me. How could I feel so strongly for a stranger?"Take it off," he orders, and I shiver. He actually ordered me to take my pants off; it felt kind of weird, and in the next second, he reaped the thin fabric off me, leaving me exposed. He lifted me, placing me against his laps. I didn't struggle; I couldn't. I loved how hungry he was. I also wanted this; I couldn't even explain it, but I couldn't let him stop. I wanted him to go on and on. His eyes raked down my body, and he hummed in contentment. His explosive hands went further up to my clitoral area, rubbing against it. I moaned out louder. Never in my life had I felt this much pleasure from a single touch like I was feeling now. My palms were all sweaty, and as I managed to hold on to him, he rubbed against me, increasing his space. Then he pulled away, and my eyes shot open. I didn't want him to stop. There was something addictive about his touch. Could this be some strange kind of power he had?. Without warning, he slipped his finger into my opening, and I screamed out his name. He stopped again. I was already getting impatient, grinding myself against his fingers."I want you to moan out my name again," he ordered me. I never liked being ordered around, but there was something different about it that only turned me on. Still, I delayed, and he pulled out only to go all the way in with his finger."Rollins," I moaned out. I could see his cock pushing against his pants, the size of it mind-racking. He pulled in another finger, going faster, pumping in and out, and I wasn't even ashamed of the thought that only my moans could be heard. I could see the desire in his eyes, and that was all I needed. I reached my climax far faster than I ever had. For a few seconds, I was on cloud nine, but then he pulled out of me, staring right at me as he licked his fingers coated in my cum.He unzipped his pants, adjusting his briefs, and his cock sprang free, and the size of it got me thinking about how I would contain it all. I couldn't help but notice how Jake's was small in comparison to this."You like what you see?" he asks as he takes my hands. "Ever done a blow job or hand job?.I did it a lot of times with Jake, but now I don't think I was ever doing it right. "No," I lied. I better be a novice than disappoint him, because he knew every way to make a woman scream."I'll teach you," he said. "Now just circle your hands around it," he says, and I do exactly as he says. He guided my hands up and down his erection, then let me try it out alone, and I did. He felt so warm and I loved it; his moans turned me on, and I was wet again, but I wanted to see him react more; I wanted to... please him, and so I went faster, gripping on him."Fuck Cara, faster," he growled, and I obeyed, going faster, loving how hard I made him, loving how 'partly' in control I was. I wanted him to cum, but no, I needed him to cum. So I go faster than I ever did, and then I go further, bending to lick the tip of his erection, loving the taste of his pre cum."Either you are a pretty fast learner or you lied," he says with a smirk."I'm a fast learner," I mumbled before going back to business. This time I teased him a little with tongue before taking him in my mouth, I couldn't take him all of him, I went deep and out, his hands tangled in my hair, forcing me to take more, but not quite choking me, he pulled me off him so he wouldn't cum in my mouth. I lick my lips, feeling satisfied."You would be the death of me, mon amour."Rollins whined down the glass, letting the smell of sex out.
"We are close" he says.I stare outside the car, but all I see is the woods."Uhmm... I don't see anything," I say. The fear was rising again; had I been so blind? Maybe he was taking me out to the woods to butcher me, because why else would we be heading there?"Don't be scared; if I wanted to kill you, I don't even need to bother chasing after you and bringing you back here," he says.I gasped, "Did you just read my mind? We had a deal"."No, I didn't," he says simply, looking out the window and back to me. "You don't believe me? I keep to my words. Well, sometimes.""Then how did you know?""It was all on your face; you're an open book... and I think we are here."The car stops, and he walks out of the car, rounding to open the door for me. I take a little time before walking out of the car because we are in the middle of nowhere and all I see are the trees ahead, but he was right, and a part of me 'wanted' to trust him.The other two men walked out of the car, and I discovered they weren't even as old as I thought; they were young, somewhere in their early twenties, while Rollins looked to be a few years older than the both of them. The first one was more muscular, with brown short hair and tanned skin; he was huge, almost as muscular as Rollins himself, but the Alpha was taller; then the next was completely different, lean muscled; he was presently wearing a hoody, and he still managed to look hot in it; he had short brown hair too and striking blue eyes, he would have been my type."Meet my Beta Lucian and my Gamma Teo." Alpha Rollins introduced me; I was a little lost and couldn't find the right words to say."Hi," I say stupidly to them, and the Gamma smirks. There is something about the way he looks at me that tells me he must be a flirt. The Beta, on the other hand, gives me a nod."Welcome... Luna" The beta says, and I notice how hard it was for him to pronounce the title Luna. Did he think that I was below him? undeserving of the title? If only he knew that I didn't even care about that."You don't need to call me Luna; you can call me Cara," I say, and I feel like those words brought some kind of tension into the whole thing; it had to do with the way Rollins stiffened, Teo looked away, and Lucian... well, he looked like I had said something utimately wrong.I wanted to scream at them that I am only human, and I believed I was handling these all far better than any other 'normal' human would. "That's if you don't want to; I really don't care about some stupid title." I cut myself off; I think I made it worse, and now Rollins pointed gaze was directly at me."You are the Luna; it's an honor, and everybody in the pack has to give you that honor," he says."I really don't care about a damn title," I say stubornly, shrugging."Teo, Lucian, give me a few minutes with my mate," he says, and they nod, walking away."There are so many things you would have to... learn as you aren't a wolf; the Luna and Alpha are the heads of every pack. In the human world, you could imagine a monarchy where we have the king and the queen. Here we have Alphas and Lunas, and you have to look the part at least.""Well, I'm sorry if I don't look like the strong wolf you were looking for.""You don't have to make this hard. Damn, it is so hard. Knowing you are human, so weak, so fragile, and breakable, why the hell does this have to happen? I could have even been given an Omega," he says, like I wasn't standing right there."You brought me here, in the middle of the woods, talking about Lunas and Wolf and shit I don't care about; if you don't want me, then let me go, and I apologize that you were given a weakling like me; maybe you could just let me go and no one would have to know that your mate is such a weak human; you wouldn't have to face the disgrace!" I finshed. I hadn't even realized when I started screaming at the top of my lungs or when the tears fell down my eyes. I was crying over someone I had just met. What mattered if he thought I was incompetent, if he thought he was unlucky to have me? It shouldn't matter, but for some strange reasons that I'm starting to understand, it does. It hurts bad that I am not enough, that he thinks I am not enough for him, just like Jake had, he too believed I wasn't enough, so he needed another girl to cheat on me with."No, Cara, you don't get me; I love you, but I'm concerned for you, there would always be this constant thought that if I get angry, if I mistakenly hold on too hard, I could break those fragile bones; maybe when we are making love, if I pull at your hair too hard... You would never be safe because every single person would be a threat to you; I would never be at peace when I'm not close to you and I fear..." He cuts himself off; he didn't want to say the last line, but I knew it, I didn't have to be a mind reader to know it."You believe I can not be strong enough to rule a pack of wolves, right?" I completed his sentence, but he remains silent. "Then I think you should fear, because you are so right."(Cara's POV)It's starting to bother me. We were in the middle of the woods, and I didn't see any houses close by. I wondered where exactly Alpha Rollins mysterious pack is."We can't take the car to the pack," he says."So you'll just abandon the car here?" I was confused."No, someone would pick it up; don't worry about it."The car looked really expensive, and I wondered how he wouldn't care about leaving it behind; anything could happen."So we are going to walk, like on feet?""No, we are going to run; come with me," he says, taking my hands and leading me deeper into the woods, where I spotted Lucian and Teo.Alpha Rollins hands slipped away from mine, and I suddenly felt so alone and out of place, especially with the look Lucian gave me. I was forced to look down to my feet, avoiding his eyes and he scoffed, walking away into the woods."What's up with him?" I asked no one in particular."He could be like that sometimes." The Teo answered, I didn't think he was being completely
(Cara's POV)"You must like me reaping your clothes off, don't you?" he asked, and I shivered."First, I want to ask you a question.""No more question; I want you, and I want you to cooperate... or we could do it my way," he says, and despite the warning in his statement, I secretly wanted to know what his way looked like."If you want me to cooperate, then you have to cooperate. I've been on my best behavior since I arrived here, and this is the least you could do."I actually think he would take off my clothes and get them over with, but he doesn't. "You have two minutes; what is your question?" he asked."The girl... the blonde down stairs""Emmaline? What about her?""I want to know what has been going on between the both of you.""That's none of your business", he says, suddenly furious, and I flinch. His eyes soften. "You don't need to worry about her", he corrects."What do you say I am to you?""My mate""Mates, aren't they like partners? I don't like her, and from the way s
(Cara's POV)I didn't know what I expected after what went on between us last night.Okay, maybe I knew what I expected. I expected him to be here, on bed, lying next to me. I expected to feel his kisses, hot and rough on my skin, but he wasn't here. He was gone right before I woke up. I was the cheap slut who gave him my body without a thought. Maybe it was due to what had happened between me and Jake and I needed to be remembered that I could be loved... It wasn't that though, there was this strange and sick attraction I had towards him and when he said he felt the same, I was in cloud nine.I couldn't stop the tears. What was I thinking?I pushed off the covers, I noticed that I was naked, I had let him reap off my clothes last night and none of my stuff was here now. Still I decided to take a quick search in the bathroom. Nothing. Except his clothes.. oh, well. I picked one of his shirts, long enough to cover me, thick enough to hide my nipples, it stopped mid thigh, way too big fo
(Cara's POV)Walking inside the dining room, I didn't expect what I saw; it was a damn full house. I envisioned a table with just Alpha and me, but there were about thirty people seated there on the very long table, all dinning together and chatting- till I came in of course.Everything stopped; they stared at me like I was a monkey. Stop thinking about that; Teo was only joking. What if he wasn't? ... he called you beautiful. What if he was only saying that?I felt unsure of myself, but Teo was beside me."Come on, Luna." I didn't miss it; he had called me Cara back then and Luna now, the title made me feel weird like there was font I had to keep on, like there were so much expectations to be met.Even as he led me, I could see every gaze following me. I noticed he avoided holding my hands and even stayed a little distance from me. I knew why. Alpha Rollins was here, and I felt the anger rising again. He had left me on the bed after the sex we had. I guess it didn't mean anything to h
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
(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
