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

At first Cara stiffened slightly in surprise when she felt our lips touch, but over time her tiny body relaxed in my arms. His lips kissed me gently, this time I let him lead our kiss while enjoying it slowly so it doesn't end quickly. One of my other hands is on his back to hold him while my other hand is still behind his head.Cara's kiss was soft and wet, her warm breath brushed against my face. He wasn't as hasty as I was, his kisses felt like hesitant exploration then slowly turning bolder. His lips and mine together to share the sensation andsoft passion, occasionally his lips kiss mine before my tongue slowly opened it impatiently. As our tongues brushed against each other, electricity shot through my body. I vaguely wondered to myself if Cara felt the same way I did.The smell of grass and sun mixed withCara's scent in my arms. A few strands of her hair fell to the side of my face and tickled me. At this moment I forgot all the problems that surrounded us, the only thing on m

This silent atmosphere only lasted for three seconds because of the arrival of Cara who had just entered the kitchen. Balthazar turned around and walked over to the sink to rinse those damn tomatoes."What is it?" he whispered as he stood beside me, "Why is the atmosphere so awkward ... "I turned to her, the lavender scent of her soap wafting from her body. My gaze fell on her current attire. Balthazar was right, Cara was trying to cover the nape of her neck. Currently he was wearing a high-collared shirt with all the buttons tightly closed, even though he usually always unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt."Nothing, looks like Balthazar is just being sensitive today" I replied deliberately in a neutral voice so that the person we were talking about could hear too. Cara poked my arm with her elbow before walking over to Balthazar to help her. They chatted for a while, while I haven't moved from my place since earlier. From behind, the two looked nothing alike. But I myself do

Cara's lips were as sweet and soft as ever, but every time our lips touched a pleasant electric shock coursed through my body. Makes me want to touch it every time I see it. I traced his lips slowly then bit his lips gently to open it before slipping the tip of my tongue at a glance. Our hearts were both pounding violently, as if melting into one and rhythm.Cara tucked her fingers under my head and squeezed my curls. Her sighs mixed with her soft sighs. The sweet smell of strawberries mingled with the scent of her soft skin, my hand that was still on her shoulder moved to her jawline. I want to kiss these lips forever ... only these lips, I thought before kissing them deeper with more passion.Mate. Mine.That's just what kept repeating in my head. For a moment I almost forgot my main goal at this time. His neck ... I have to unbutton his shirt. But as the thought crossed, Cara's tongue caressed mine until I forgot about her again. I pushed my body until our bodies were touching each

(POV - Caroline Brennan)I know the reason behind Alex's shocked face yesterday is because of the mark on my neck. I looked at the reflection of my naked body in the bathroom, water still dripping from the ends of my hair because I had just finished showering. The base of my neck looks like it's rotting from the inside, even though my skin looks and feels fine but the area around Alex's mark is turning gray and almost black. Tiny purple vein-like strokes adorned the surroundings to make my neck look hideous.Idon't know when this black bruise turned to this terrible, when I woke up two weeks ago this bruise did look more intense than before but I ignored it until it suddenly became like this.Of course I tried to hide it from Balthazar, sometimes I covered it with bandages or with closed clothes. But I'm sure actually Balthazar already noticed it, only he pretended not to see it. With a gloomy face I averted my eyes and began to dry my body with a towel.I was supposed to start traini
