One man shattered the car's rear glass while Caiden was still deciding what to do. Caiden got ready to step out of the car as he opened the door and felt rage fill his body."There are over fifteen men out there Caiden. What do you think you're doing?" I said, tears welling up in my eyes."How dare they touch my car?" His eyes gleamed as he emerged, indicating that his wolf was present "I don't want you to get hurt Kamara. Stay in the car.Despite my knowledge of Caiden's power and fighting skills, I thought it was ridiculous that he intended to face these men by himself; the plan looked too dangerous. I felt bad that I couldn't assist him. Since my wolf had left me, I was helpless to defend myself. I was almost human.His hands were lifted as if he was giving up as he got out of the vehicle. About eighteen men lifted their bats, and judging by their demeanor, they weren't here to talk or discuss anything.One of them pointed at me and said, "We want her," to Caiden as he peered insid
"Is mom safe out there? Do you think she will experience the same thing that happened to Aunt Catherine?" inquired Lucas.He gave his brothers an even closer hug and said, "Our mother is a very strong woman. I know no one will be able to capture her.""Sterling, do you think she'll come to our rescue?" Noah enquired.Gazing into his brother's puffy eyes, he answered, "I know she will. I'm sure Mom is searching everywhere for us right now."Noah smiled, then Kyler murmured, "I'm hungry."Although Sterling felt bad about it, there was nothing more he could do.In the face of the anguish that lay ahead, he remained silent since he was at a loss for words with his brother. Silence fell over the room as the brothers in the corner got more dejected. Sterling became aware of how keen his senses had grown. Dim noises from outside the room could be heard by him. A bird soon began to sing, and the intensity of the wind caused the leaves to rustle. The boy heard what seemed to be the sound of a
Jessie walked over, but all I could sense was that a quiet woman was sitting next to me, observing me with a dubious expression on her face. Feeling the warmth of the blanket as she extended her hand to touch me, she frowned and asked, "Did Caiden offer you this blanket?" before turning to face me."He did. He offered it to me as it was freezing. I sighed deeply and asked, "Is there a problem?""A problem?" she asked, grinning. "There is absolutely no issue. I asked only because I gave the blanket to him during our honeymoon.Pain churned in my stomach. I was so disgusted by the blanket that it was nearly hard to look at it without feeling repelled. That brought up memories of being rejected and not having the chance to say farewell to anyone. I removed the blanket from my body and returned the blanket to Jessie in a slow motion."Sorry I was unaware, you can have it."I said in a humiliating tone. That was something I didn't want to hang onto for even a minute longer.With a smile, J
Though suspicious, Caiden nodded. He quietly left the area, observing the two of us as we made our way to the building. Although I didn't feel at ease, Caiden appeared glad to have me back, even though he would never say so.Jessie showed me to the building's basement, where there was an abandoned mattress, and urged me to lie down. The space had a musty mold odor and it was dark. It was unbelievable to me that I could have been so stupid as to follow Jessie there. It was obvious that Jessie would degrade me by making me stay in such a place like an animal. Also, I lacked the bravery to confront the Luna and insist on having a better sleeping area.I thought that the quads might be in a similar or worse situation than mine as I surveyed the area. How much suffering must my kids be experiencing? I felt really guilty that I'd never had them ready for this, as I made the old mattress and lay down. Perhaps if I had told them they were werewolves, they would have tried to defend themselv
He murmured in my ear, "Why are you screaming?""Because there are giant rats roaming around," I said, meeting his gaze. "You know I'm afraid of rats.""Yes, I am aware of it." My face was too close to Caiden's, and it seemed like he wanted to kiss me right then and there, which was an issue.With Caiden getting closer, my heart was racing. When we were mated, he had this look on his face, and he would often tell me how much he loved me."Why did you allow Jessie mistreat you in this way?" His voice lacked any hint of coldness or haughtiness."Because I'd rather not start a conflict with the alpha's luna." I smirked as I stated. That's when the spell was broken.Moving away from me, Caiden stepped back and looked away. It was the first time since I had rejoined the pack that he acted this way with me, so I felt bad when I saw Caiden acting like his old self again. When he turned his face back to me, his countenance changed. There was only the alpha playing his part; there was no tender
I sighed deeply and went to the bathroom at last. It would be too risky to spend the whole night with Caiden so near to me. Jessie already didn't like me, so she would have an unheard-of argument with her mate if she found out that he had slept somewhere other than home to keep me safe. But I knew there was no way I could persuade Caiden to reconsider.I discovered one of Caiden's old shirts in the bathroom and put it on before I came out. I had nothing to wear and had fled my house without packing any clothes. I noticed something I hadn't felt in a while when Caiden turned to face me. The alpha soon stopped responding or uttering words. He merely observed me, attempting to conceal his admiration."I figured wearing this shirt wouldn't be an issue after finding it in the bathroom.""Not a problem," he said, staring at me nonstop, "I'll ask someone to buy clothes for you tomorrow."I thought it was nice that he wouldn't ask Jessie, at least. A blanket was prepared for me when I moved
They were both laying on the mattress. Kamara was wearing Caiden's shirt; he was shirtless. With one of his arms encircling her petite frame, she slept soundly in his arms, her head propped on Caiden's chest. It looked like a lovely moment, and judging from a distance, it appeared as though the two were passionately in love and were having a good time.A tornado of horrifying ideas raced through Jessie's head. This betrayal would be too much for her to handle. Her cheeks heated with rage, and tears filled her eyes. Enzo felt a terrible thing was about to happen when he glanced at her, but he was too late to stop her. Jessie sprinted over to the two and grabbed the blanket firmly, causing her to scream in agony from her throat. Startled, Kamara stood up, but Caiden only slowly opened his eyes and scarcely moved. It appeared as though he had done nothing wrong and didn't give a damn about getting caught.*****"Caiden, what's going on here?" Her intense rage was visible in her large, d
I believed that asking for Caiden's help to search for my kids had been a grave error. I knew I couldn't stay here any longer, even if I didn't understand why he was helping me. I had to make a decision. Either I stay here and become a problem, or I go alone and without Caiden's assistance in the endless hunt for my kids.I gave Caiden a sad look as if I were saying goodbye and said, "You don't have to choose anything. I'll be on my own from now on, but thanks for the help."He meant to stop me, saying, "Kamara, you can't do this alone.""You don't actually expect me to remain in a place where I've never been welcomed," I said, gathering up my bag and my dirty clothing from the floor.After giving him one last glance, I left the room. Caiden tried to stop me, but Jessie moved her own body in front of him to block his moved. She looked like she was pleading with him to stay. She gave him a tight hug, sobbed, crying her eyes out in front of the alpha by letting all of her feelings out.
When Kamara finally made it to the pack, she was taken aback by how much was going on. Caiden was welcomed with open arms by all, and she was no different. She refused to let another second pass before resolving their differences since she had been waiting too many days for this. The children were holding on to her skirt as she walked there. In addition, she had trouble getting through the front door, but security let her in right away."Miss Kamara, the Alpha is meeting with Alpha Stourin from the Mystic Moon pack," Oscar said with a big smile.She sighed in frustration and said, "Okay, I'll wait.""I will be defying an edict from Alpha Caiden if I permit this." He took Kamara by surprise. "You may go in; he gave the order for you and the children to be permitted to enter the main room whenever you please.""Oscar, are you sure?" He nodded, and she gave him a wide, eager look. "If that's the case, I'll ask you to watch the kids while I talk with Caiden. Are you cool with that?"Oscar
Caiden did not want to discuss what had transpired with Jessie. Caiden had not been inside the old house since the day the complete truth about her was uncovered, and he slept in the main building. He would occasionally catch himself thinking about it, the anxiety he experienced about staying there, all by himself, and full of memories.Before long, word of his split from Jessie reached every other pack of wolves. All the young ladies in the several packs, who came from strong families, were eager to mate the alpha who was single at the moment.Something wasn't right when Lisa walked into the room that morning and noticed Caiden sitting on the couch with large dark bags under his eyes."You haven't left this place since Jessie was put in jail."She looked about the room, noting that it wasn't quite as disorganized as it had been that day. "Caiden, what's going on?"After giving Lisa a quick glance and finishing the last swallow of brandy, he got up."I'm not this way because of Jessie,
Caiden did nothing but watch as Nate carried Kamara off. They had a lot on their minds, but Caiden had other things on his mind that needed to be addressed, and one of them was in front of him."Did the Alpha stay to hear my final word?" Enzo gave him a sad, indifferent look. He had clearly been confronted by Kamara's statements.He said, "You are banished from the Moon Howlers pack," but Enzo wasn't shocked. "And I'll make sure no pack on the planet welcomes you into their ranks if, by some chance, you ever manage to escape from prison."While Jessie whimpered once again, unable to even protect herself, Enzo swallowed hard. Matt was waiting for this moment with great anticipation when he emerged from the prison area.He leaned against the car and watched Caiden do the same, saying, "What occured in there was a tough one. Your town's residents don't seem to think good of me.""Your scent draws them in. Besides, the pack is not accustomed to human visitors, and none of them know you as
The modest police station was suddenly filled with a heavy quiet. Trying to see how Kamara would respond to Enzo's account, Caiden watched her closely, but she remained silent.Jessie looked at Enzo within the cell, stunned. How far would he go in his quest for vengeance to the point where he would openly lie to Kamara about their own history?"Enzo, what kind of madness is this?" Jessie asked, but her brother seemed dead serious from the look on his face. "Is Kamara really our sister?""I did say she was our sister," he said, clenching his teeth in a vile manner. "She is my sister. Indeed, I have been dealing with this psychosis ever since I learned of our father's adultery."Kamara found it hard to accept this as reality. Her legs began to weaken as well."You're saying this only to cause me pain," Kamara's heart burned in her chest as tears filled her eyes. "My parents loved each other, they would never do such a thing.""Kamara, you were only a child when they passed away." Enzo s
Jessie, for one, had obviously not come to that realization yet. Alone with herself in a damp, cold confinement like an animal, she had no company except herself. They just allowed Caiden to occupy her mind. Her wolf would not stop howling, and she knew one thing for sure: she could not go on without the greatest love of her life.She heard footsteps hurrying toward her. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought that it might be a remorseful Caiden coming to her aid, but her shocked expression proved she was wrong.When Enzo was pushed inside, he yelled out in agony. Jessie showed contempt for her own brother and did nothing to assist him. She secretly thought that he was the only one to blame for her horrible misfortune. If Jessie hadn't given in to his insanity, all of this could have been prevented.Enzo held back, leaning against the wall and feigning not to be in pain when he saw Jessie there. He said, "You're not surprised to see me, are you?" without irony or derision this time.
In the dark jungle, the wolves howled. Nearly all visibility was obscured by a dense mist within a meter's radius. The only thing that Enzo could see clearly was what the moon was shining through the cracks in the trees. He was directed by the sounds and noises of the forest to avoid the impending peril.Following Jessie's capture and humiliation in front of the pack, Enzo was relentlessly pursued. A sizable payment had been offered by Caiden to the hunter who caught his ex-partner's brother. Hunters from all over began looking for the precious fugitive as soon as word got out.Enzo was aware that he wouldn't be able to go very far, especially without somebody to protect or assist him in getting away. When he made the decision to flee, abandoning Jessie in pursuit of his irrational retribution, he had sealed his doom.There would be no mercy or revenge now.He hurried through the dark woodland, desperate to get away, and stumbled into a trap. Enzo broke his femur because the fall was
Caiden had no time to be sorry. Lisa was worried about him, but the alpha was preoccupied with distracting himself from the pain of realizing that his wife had deceived him. He still had thoughts and pleasant recollections of a life he had shared with Jessie, so it was obvious that it hurt. But he'd made up his mind not to feel bad. He prepared to leave for the Full Moon pack in order to see his kids, packing his little luggage. He had to go on because of the children. Only a few hours had passed since Alpha Cornelius' departure, and Caiden was already tracing his steps back."Are you sure you'll be fine?" Lisa was concerned. "Mom, I'm okay," he said, giving her a tender hug. "It's going to be a quick journey. I'll be back before morning." He cast a sorrowful glance into her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Caiden," she said, kissing his cheek. "You're not supposed to feel bad." He remarked, moving aside. "You were the only one who warned me that Jessie wasn't the best choice for me." He put
Had Jessie come to terms with the fact that it was a result of her troubled background, maybe her heart would not have hurt so deeply. Tears filled her eyes as she gazed at Caiden, wishing it was all a nightmare. She had never anticipated being in this kind of moment. Jessie was being rejected by the alpha man she loved.She slid to his feet and gripped him, pleading with him, "Caiden, please don't do this. I can redeem myself, but I beg you not to leave me."Jessie was humiliated, and Alpha Caiden loudly and forcefully reacted, making her let go and ignoring her cries for forgiveness. She held his kid within her, yet there was no way he could forgive her."You will face the most severe punishment imaginable for what you have done." His words, "and I wish never to see or hear from you again," caused Jessie's eyes to widen in terror. They also left her thoughts troubled.She was still in disbelief after hearing his words, which kept repeating in her head and did not let her sleep: "I c
Jessie gave the man in front of her a nod. He smelled so strong it was nearly too much for her to bear. But even though she was sick to her stomach, she forced a smile and walked up to the man.He gave a cold shoulder in return. Wearing combat boots caked in dry mud that tracked filth everywhere it went, he sported a checkered shirt. She studied the human for a moment, whose name escaped her, then turned to pretend not to be overwhelmed and smiled at Caiden."Caiden, why is this man here?" Within the pack, a rule stated that unless the Alpha himself disclosed it, no human visitor could be aware that the city was home to werewolves. Everyone had to pretend to be normal as a result.Caiden suppressed a deep impulse to punish Jessie at that moment. His thoughts was still troubled by the accused's remarks. The mastermind behind the quadruplets kidnapping was Jessie. "Matt is a detective in the city and a very good friend of Nate's." Then he had to close his eyes and take a deep breath. "H
