The Werewolf Academy 165
Drops of water fell down my face. My whole body feels wet. My bewildered eyes scanned the dark sky above me.I'm outside, I thought. But I couldn't move my whole body at all. The sound of raindrops falling on the leaves and plants around me was soothing, but I didn't feel at all calm.I frantically tried to raise my head but to no avail. The raindrops that fell into my eyes made me have to close them for a while while blinking because they were a little sore.Where is this? I thought worriedly. I'm sure I'm in the forest right now, but why can't I move my body at all-I blinked again when I realized it."Balthazar?" call me timidly.I didn't hear anything but raindrops around me. Then after a few minutes I heard the sound of heavy breathing followed by a very familiar voice."Are you awake?"My relief immediately made my body feel weak. "What happened? Why did I wake up in the forest again?""Again?" he repeated angrily. But the anger was not directed at me. Then Balthazar's face appe

Balthazar wasn't kidding when he said we'd be training seriously today. Even before breakfast he had dragged me to the backyard ... to plant his damn tulips.At first I wanted to protest because it's still six in the morning, but seeing his serious face that looked stubborn, I made up my mind. One by one I made holes in the ground."Do you know how I was able to seal your strength for tens of years?" he asked suddenly. I turned to him, but Balthazar was still busy planting."No, how is it?""The same way I paralyze you usually" he explained without looking at me. "Usually I just suppressed your body movements, but when I sealed you I compressed all of your strength into a small ball. The pressure of my power forced your Leykan power to gather in one spot. Because of that your body feels like a human's body.""That's why my power immediately exploded after my seal was broken?""Yes." He moved on to the next hole in the ground. I hastily shoveled dirt in the next hole. "You have to thin

Trickling his words ... I should have just slashed his head earlier, I thought as I shot him an angry look. Balthazar was still laughing, he wiped his watery eyes. But suddenly he stopped and fell silent as he tried to listen. Instantly his face turned tense then he looked at me again with a ferocious expression."Caroline! Come inside!" he ordered. "The wolf is back again," he said before walking into the woods, but he stopped again and turned around, his eyes looking angry. "Didn't you hear me? Come in. Now!"I flinched when I heard his scream and nodded. Balthazar looked so tense that I could feel the dominance of his strength radiating from his body. I turned around and jogged back to the castle, only a few steps I stopped again to tell him not to kill anyone in Alpha Sam's territory. But when I turned around, Balthazar was gone.I looked at the forest in front of me then turned around again to return to the castle.I'm feeling a little worried ... Not forBalthazar, but for whoev

(POV - Alex Brennan)I knew there was actually something Cara wanted to tell me. I can see it in his bluegreen eyes that look a little sad.Oh my God, It's so beautiful.Even when she's sad, Cara looks very pretty. His eyes looked brighter because they were hit by the orange light of this afternoon's sun. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheek. I could faintly see golden freckles on his nose that I had never seen before.Maybe it's because Cara has been spending more time outside the house lately, I heard that Balthazar forced her to do some gardening ...My gaze fell briefly to his lips that looked full and slightly reddened because he had just bitten them. After all this is over I will dedicate my whole life to kissing those lips. Then her face ... her jaw ... the curve of her neck that looked fragile and feminine ... then-My thoughts stop there.Being so close to Cara but just imagining her without touching her immediately felt like torture. Her big eyes were still looking a

Balthazar looked far behind me for a few seconds, either lost in thought or contemplating what he wanted to say to me."What do you want to talk about?" I asked impatiently. Jake would have been waiting for me at the Pack's house by now.He shoved his hands into his trouser pockets and then finally looked at me again. 'Mark on Caroline's neck," he said firmly. "Is that just a normal mark?"My forehead wrinkled when I heard his question, from the forest the sound of an owl could be heard welcoming the night. "What do you mean?"His face darkened instantly. "That mark hasn't disappeared to this day. This kind of thing is not normal for Leykan."I forgot not to notice the mark on Cara's neck today. "What about those weird strokes?"'Of course it hasn't disappeared. Those scars won't disappear until the marks disappear. That's why I ask you, is the mark on Caroline's neck just an ordinary mark."'Of course, I just bit him like-" my words came to an abrupt halt. "Is there a chance that the

This conversation with Balthazar tonight has been hanging over me so much that I can't concentrate on what Jake and Vincent are telling me. Jake snapped at me right away when I got to Pack's house, but I just listened in passing. After taking a shower I headed straight to my study to hear from Vincent on the next investigation into Edward Adler's death.Making Vincent a member of the Enforcer was one of the best decisions I've ever made."I can't believe you're daydreaming when I came to you and waited for you for two hours."Vincent's grunts distracted me from Balthazar. "What?" I asked, looking up at him.Vincent looked irritated but he just sighed when he met my gaze. Even Vincent was being sympathetic to me right now. I smiled weakly to myself. "Sorry, I'm a bit unfocused today" I said to the two of them.Jake looked at me with an understanding nod, while Vincent just rolled his eyes but he didn't reply me with his usual sarcastic answer."I was just explaining about Edward Adler'

"Dad we need to talk" I mumbled to him then led him into my study which is on the third floor while Jake was still explaining about the Stratovskys and where they might live. Without speaking Dad followed me from behind. To be honest we haven't talked much about Cara and her identity as a pure-blooded Leykan.I know Dad needs time to digest everything. After all my grandfather, Theodore Brennan, was one of the originators of the movement to hunt down and exterminate the Leykan. So my father grew up with teachings to always hate and hunt Leykan. Even though the teachings were not passed down to me because so far the Leykan have been considered extinct.I opened my office door and let him in. Dad sat down first on one of the black couches and then I sat across from him. Dad hasn't asked how Cara is even in the last month, but Mum keeps asking about Cara's progress so it seems like Dad knows it from Mum too.I looked at my father who still looked young like a man who was about to turn fo

My hand that was about to knock on the door stopped when my ears caught a faint laugh from the backyard of Balthazar's castle. The voice sounded like music to my ears. For a few seconds my legs felt difficult to move, I closed my eyes to control my emotions at this time.Today has finally come.Jake has taken over my duties for the day so I can spend time with Cara. I hadn't told him about Balthazar's request that I stay away from Cara for a year, but Jake didn't protest like he had before when I said I'd be taking a full day off. I guess he himself has had enough of seeing my somber face these past few days. Or maybe Jake thought meeting Cara would change my mood, which is why he let me go.I tried to persuade myself, repeating Balthazar's words in my head all night. But no matter how many times I tried to tell myself that this was the best path for us, in the end I still gave up. I couldn't imagine Cara's response in my head.The only thing that managed to make me appear in this pla
