We gathered in the castle's kitchen which is attached to the dining room. Only Mum's amazed voice while observing every detail of this place has been heard since we entered the castle. Dad was silent as he followed behind us.

I decided to make three cups of hot chocolate to wait for Balthazar to return. We chatted about light things, mostly dominated by the topic of the castle's interior and exterior because it seemed my mother couldn't stop being amazed by this castle.

He said this place looked like a princess castle from a fairy tale book he had read as a child.

I agree with him. This place also looks like a Disney Princess castle to me, unfortunately nowadays it's a grumpy old man living in a castle as beautiful as this.

But I'm relieved Mum wants to talk about the beauty of this castle, because right now I want to avoid saying too much and then accidentally passing on top-secret information about Balthazar without her permission.

It was half past three in the morning when my paren

    I put a sullen face when I heard his threat."Please listen to my explanation first."Balthazar nodded his head in a stiff motion."I have to get away from that place because I met Alpha Silver Moon. Balthazar, he showed up at Pack Yellowstone's house tonight too ... and he already knows that I'm hiding in Val's house with you. Gabriel Adler already knows all about me," I explained to him.His thick black eyebrows furrowed deeper, while his jaw was still twitching furiously. "Wait, tell me everything from the beginning. Everything. The incident. The details, Caroline."I started to recount everything that happened tonight, from the first car explosion to when I had to save that little boy, then to the second explosion that made me meet Gabriel Adler by accident. Balthazar's face darkened even more as I told him about my brief escape which eventually led to my second encounter with Gabriel at his hotel."Your father ... handed you over to him?"Balthazar's voice turned increasingly fie

    As Balthazar had said earlier, my mother accepted the offer to stay at this castle with pleasure. Dad on the other hand was silent with a faint suspicious look in his eyes.For who knows how many minutes I just lay on my bed staring at the dark ceiling of my room. From our conversation last night, it seemed that Gabriel Adler had confirmed that I would not be able to refuse his offer.Apart from risking his reputation as anAlpha and the reputation of the Silver Moon Pack, Gabriel was also betting Alex's fate on this deal.He had known my weakness from the start.

    "I used too much of my strength when I helped put out the fire at PackYellowstone's house last night... Not to mention I had to find someone who ran away all night without telling me," Balthazar said in a low, half growling voice and then preceded us into the hotel lobby.Vincent turned his flabbergasted expression to me then whispered beside me as we both started walking in following Balthazar. "What happened to him?"I shrugged my shoulders briefly."Have you heard from Alex?" I asked after a while.My uncle didn't answer my question right away. His expression turned somber before he finally turned to face me. "Right now Alex is being held in the territory of the Silver Moon Pack."My feet stopped right in the middle of the hotel lobby which was quite quiet. Vincent also stopped walking while looking at me with his gray eyes that looked a little guilty."Caroline—""Since when..." I muttered with a sudden lump in my throat. I clenched my fists tightly at my sides until my fingernai

    Vincent was the first to open his mouth, breaking the silence between us."Caroline, can't we talk about it before you decide?"Vincent's request sounds reasonable... but right now I don't have much time.Previously I had the upper hand because I had what Gabriel wanted; Bastien Archer support as well as the Basilisk Pack...But now that I know Alex is being held in the territory of the Silver Moon Pack, my previous confidence is fading fast.I looked into Gabriel's green eyes that were still watching me and shook my head slightly.Gabriel Adler was not an easy opponent."I'll go with him" I repeated in response to Vincent's question. "Don't worry, I can take care of myself."Vincent groaned in annoyance but covered his mouth after Balthazar threw him a sharp glance."Can't I accompany him too?" asked Dad, who had been observing the situation silently all along.Gabriel flashed his friendly smile again toDad and shook his head firmly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan... It's not that I don't

    Gabriel was standing with his back to me when I walked into his hotel suite. His gaze seemed to be on the view beyond the window overlooking downtown Portland.From behind his high posture looks relaxed. But when I observed him further I could catch one of his hands which was at his side shaking faintly slightly.Exactly what did He talk to Balthazar just now? I thought a little curious.He slowly turned to look at me and smiled briefly. "Do you mind if I have a quick smoke before we leave?"I shook my head then decided to sit on one of the sofas while Gabriel walked over to the small table by the window and took out his cigarette. Leaning his hips on the table he lit his cigarette and took a deep drag. I can still see his slightly trembling fingers.No matter how hard Gabriel tried to hide it, his body's gestures made it clear that he was shaken. My curiosity almost made me ask him directly about his meeting with Balthazar, but when I saw his blank eyes fixed on the carpet of this ro

    "Soon we will enter my territory."Gabriel's words made me open my eyes again. Outside the window of his car the sky had turned dark, unfortunately it was drizzling to greet us.Just like other Pack territories, the Silver Moon Pack is also close to a fairly large forest area. I guess one of the main requirements for a Pack's territory is to have access close enough to the forest. Of course that makes sense, werewolves need sufficient area for them to run freely when they are in their wolf form.Too bad Leykan hardly ever transformed into her wolf form in their entire life. I want to feel what it's like to run really fast, hurtle through the trees and feel the wind in my face."Before I take you to meet Alex I have to discuss something with you ... Do you mind?"Gabriel's question broke my reverie. I turned to him with a questioning look. From his question just now it seems like he wants to talk somewhere else before we meet Alex. "We can't talk about it now?"Did he think I would agr

    I was still standing frozen in place with my amazed gaze while Gabriel walked over to his little brother who had just come down from the stairs.Her hair ... Cameron Adler has shoulder length, snow-white hair. I've never seen hair that white in my life ... And her hair looks so natural, not like it's been dyed or bleached."Have you eaten?" asked his sister in a low voice.Gabriel shook his head and smiled at his sister. And he didn't show his fake friendly smile like before, but actually smiled warmly at his sister.My gaze returned to Cameron Adler who was still talking to his brother in a low voice. Not only did her snow white hair stand out from her, her beautiful face and her two semi-amber green eyes made it even more difficult for me to take my eyes off of her.How could Edward Adler feel ashamed to have such a beautiful daughter? I thought half in disbelief. I heard he tried to hide Cameron Adler from the public by locking him in the house.He suddenly glanced at me briefly be

    The sound of glass hitting the floor and then shattering was very loud in the midst of this momentary silence."Cara," Alex called my name again in a hoarse voice. Her face turned pale, I could see the glint of guilt in her brown eyes. His tall body froze just like me, but a moment later his shoulders shook so faintly that the towel on one shoulder slid to the floor.No.It must be a joke."You are ... Cameron's mate?" I whispered in a tight voice. So this sickening smell I smell all over the house is Cameron and Alex's mate ... I can't smell Alex's scent that I usually recognize because it has changed now."Urgh ... " My hands darted to cover my mouth, suddenly the smell of their mate made my stomach very nauseous. It felt like my lunch was starting to slide down my throat again."Cara, please, you must hear my explanation." Alex's hoarse voice sounded closer.Slightly staggered I stood up from the couch and walked away from him.What happened? I thought over the painful throbbing in

    "So now you have two pet dogs?" askedAlex as I looked out the window to check if Gabriel had wandered out of Pack's house or not.With an amused smile I turned to him and frowned. "No, I only have one pet dog. The other one is a hunting dog."Alex pulled his lips down, clearly irritated at being on the same hierarchy as GabrielAdler. " ... so which dog am I?""Oh my god I was just kidding Alex" I replied with a chuckle then joined him on the bed. Quickly his hands pulled me into his arms."Have you reconciled with Jake?" His fingers slipped through my hair slowly."Uh-huh" I answered, nodding. "We plan to talk more about it at dinner tonight.""That's fine then."I looked up at him, Alex returned me with a questioning look. "Were you the one who asked the other Pack members to stay away from me?""Who stays away from you?" His brows furrowed in astonishment then he added, "I'm just asking the other Pack members to be more careful around you. I thought it would take you some time to a

    Looks like Gabriel Adler is a little desperate after failing to blackmail us.A pinch of satisfaction that appeared made me smile at him, this time my smile was truly sincere unlike before. Of courseGabriel returned my smile with an angry look that he tried to contain."Guarding and hiding someone is not an easy thing ... " I muttered, deliberately enjoying his gloomy attitude mixed with anger. "Especially with my current situation."I had planned to recruit Cameron into the Pack I was about to found, but luckily I hadn't offered it to him yet.'Quickly say what you want."Look at this damn thing ... You don't know yourself, before he himself was stalling for time now he's trying to push me.I glanced at the two Pack members chatting in the communal room while occasionally glancing back at me andGabriel. Even though they greeted me kindly but everyone still kept their distance from me after I came back here."We'll talk in Alex's study." Gabriel followed me from behind as I headed u

    "Jakes!" I called as I ran down the stairs.Jake stopped in his tracks but didn't turn to look at me. Some of the younger Pack members who had not yet left for school stopped briefly to stare at us."Can I talk to you for a minute?""I haven't slept since yesterday"Her expressionless face made me feel even more guilty. I bit my lip and nodded slightly. "Then tonight?" I asked hopefully.'Please?"My question was answered with a faint nod."Okay, good night," I replied slowly.Jake suddenly took a deep breath and folded his arms. "Cara, I don't hate you, so wipe that pitiful face of yours. What makes me angry is Alex- well, I'm a little annoyed at you too for being so stubborn, but I understand your reasons. I hope you can understand my reasons against that plan as well."Of course I understand, for Jake the interests of this Pack take precedence over his personal interests, and he expects the same from Alex as this Alpha Pack.But now I'm torn between his duties asAlpha and the inte

    Doctor Pack gave specific instructions that Alex should stay in bed for the next three days, at least until the broken bones in his leg and several fractured ribs begin to regenerate. Luckily his other injuries had turned into faint bruises in just a night.I thought last night's injuries and events would make Alex more submissive and docile than usual ... but I was so wrong.Even though I was stuck in bed for almost twenty four hours straight, Alex still kept bugging me about last night's incident, more specifically, he repeatedly made me say every detail and part where Viktor 'touched me'.At first I understood his anger but after a while I felt annoyed because the anger was now starting to target me. Being next to him almost drives me crazy myself."Alex, Viktor is dead. What else do you want?!" I exclaimed when I saw the furious expression on his face."You shouldn't have chased him! Do you know what he would have done if the seal didn't kill him?!"I had told him about the seal t

    "Don't fight." Balthazar's gruff muttering sounded from behind me. I tried to sit up but failed, the only thing I could do was move my head towards him. The pain all over my body was nothing compared to the crushing power of Balthazar who was trying to drown the Leykan energy from my body.Balthazar crouched over me to inspect while I writhed on the ground trying to fight off the painful crush that felt like it was squeezing every organ in my body. "Take a deep breath," he orders as he presses my shoulders against the ground. Her eyes only glanced at where Viktor lay for a moment before looking at me again with a look of worry and anger."Let me go-" I moaned while grinding my teeth hard to endure this pain."If I let you go now all the werewolves who are heading to this place will smell your Leykan scent." Instead of loosening his hand from my shoulder, Balthazar just pushed me harder until I groaned even louder."Take deep breaths," he repeated impatiently.I tried to catch my breat

    'Victor!" My shrill scream pierced the silence of this forest. I didn't expect him to stop when he heard my voice but the sound of his footsteps stopped instantly when he heard my voice. I easily caught up with him then I stopped a few meters behind him without making a sound.We are currently in the deepest part of this forest. It's already quite far from Alex's crash site, I think it's safe enough if I release my Leykan power here.Viktor turned slowly in the darkness of this forest and stared at me without expression. His semi-naked muscular body was still tensing up, preparing to fight me.Why didn't he transform into his wolf form, the question flashed through my head but I didn't have time to think about it further.My Leykan power is already at its limit and I can't suppress it any longer.Just like when I attacked Alex the first time, the atmosphere around us turned even more sinister than before. A strong wind blew so that the trees around it shook violently. The forest that

    "Caroline!" Alex yelled at me from inside the car but I didn't turn around. I closed the car door, muffled the sound completely and stepped out into the middle of the street.The cold night wind blew at me, brushing my hair away from my face. I took a deep breath while concentrating on finding the direction of the wolf's scent because it had stopped howling since I got out of the car.I wasn't going to enter the forest until he appeared in front of me because Viktor might have lured me away to get rid of Alex. Alex's car's airbags that didn't open during the crash are still bothering me, it's impossible for a BMW class car to have such a fatal malfunction.Slowly I turned to the side of the dark trees, waiting for him to emerge from his hiding place. Although my hearing is very sharp, the sound of his quiet footsteps was almost undetectable at all.From within the darkness a pair of shiny black eyes looked at me followed by a wide grin that looked vicious. Apparently he had returned t

    Her sudden anger made me freeze for a moment in shock.Alex was still standing clutching my shoulders with his hands that were still shaking a little. From this close distance I could see his pale face filled with worry and anger."It looks like you're very busy so I decided to go home ... " I answered in a half whisper.Her two golden brown eyes closed instantly as her tense jaw continued to throb. "I thought you left me again" he growled before opening his eyes again. A few strands of her brown hair fell to cover her eyes which at this time looked terrible."Alex, how many times have I told you? I will never leave you again."Actually, I'm also a bit angry myself because her trust in me is only limited to this, but at the same time I also understand her feelings. I took a deep breath and knelt down to hug his neck.I'm sorry" I mumbled, kissing his neck briefly. "I was just about to call you to tell you."Looks like Ihave to buy a new phone soon.His tensed body slowly relaxed and t

    Well, of course now both of them are at peace because now I am the one who is being emitted by them.I took a deep breath and looked up briefly to relieve the aching feeling in my stiff neck and then turned to face Jake who gave me a fierce glare."If you want to nag me, feel free, Jake" I muttered with another sigh.Jake chuckled in disappointment and shook his head in frustration. "Cara, do you know all the things Alex has sacrificed for you in the last eight months? If you still want to do your crazy plan, all his sacrifices so far will be wasted.""Of course, I also know what Alex has gone through for me ... but this is not the life I want to live" I replied with a heavy feeling that was starting to squish my chest.Jake's expression turned somber when he heard the change in my voice. "Method ... ""I also realize my reasoning sounds very selfish. It's just ... if one day I have children, I don't want my children who were born as half Leykan to have to live a life like this. I can
