"Vi- Violet?" I pushed his body away, Alex only moved a little, his sharp gaze fixed on my eyes. My eyes should only turn violet when my powers are out ... and when I'm feeling anger or really strong emotions.I pulled myself away quickly from Alex and got off the bed. "Alex, the seal!" I put on my bra and shirt again in a hurry.Alex blinked briefly then as if just realized he also got out of bed and then put on his boarding house which was on the floor. He ran to my closet, grabbed a backpack and stuffed my clothes at random inside. I ran to the side of his closet to get two hoodies, one for him and one for me.The pouring rain and thunder were still thundering outside the window but I only heard them faintly because of my panic. I ran to the bathroom to get my toiletries, and when I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror, my body froze. My eyes are completely violet, a slightly lighter color and shimmery ... almost like gemstones. My heart is pounding really hard inside my
I don't know what true pure-blooded Leykan's power is like because every time my power explodes I can't fully remember the incident. Usually I just wake up or my eyes are covered in such thick darkness thatI can't see.Perhaps only once did I ever see that power clearly in person, even though I couldn't move my body at all either. And the personI attacked at that time was Alex, I remember the strong wind that surrounded us that afternoon and then the blood pouring out of Alex ... Maybe if I didn't try to stop him, Alex would have met the same fate as Charmaine and the members of the Silver Moon Pack who had intended to ambush me first. . I shudder every time I remember it.The heavy rain still hit the car I was driving, every now and then I could see the wolf Alex running with this car from behind the trees. Every time I turn to the right, wolf Alex also appears even if only briefly. With hunting breaths and body shivering I tried to calm myself, this seal must not be opened before I
The momentum when his finger touched my forehead felt like slow motion. Slowly I felt pain exploding in my body, maybe it felt the same as a broken bone, only at this moment all my bones felt crushed together. I wanted to scream as loud as I could, but my lips were clamped together and finally the scream stuck in my throat.Slowly my body drifted slightly away from Balthazar. With his eyes sparkling with satisfaction, he still smiled when he looked at me.Damn it, I thought vaguely through the pain I was feeling. I didn't have time to swear at him for long because the wind blew from my body to all corners of this lake. Even Balthazar had to take a few steps back due to the strong wind pushing him.My gaze swayed to the sky slowly, right now there were only gray clouds in the dense sky. I only had time to think of one thing before my body crashed into this lake.Cold .Then my body sinks into this murky lake slowly, my eyes are still fixed on Balthazar's face that ripples behind the su
My scream only lasted for five seconds because suddenly the same force as the one in the lake this morning hit me again. My body fell to the cold bathroom floor until my cheek pressed against the cold tile. Just like before, I tried to fight it even though I knew I would lose. And my frustration slowly turns to anger."BALTHAZAR!" I forgot about my problem just now, because of the anger that was burning red in my eyes at this moment. I want to destroy something ... I want to destroy Baltahzar because he dares to restrain me. I know my anger is unreasonable, but I can't hold back the explosive feeling.My ears caught the sound of the door opening and then a few moments later a pair of big feet covered in black velvet sandals stopped about a meter from my head. I couldn't see his face because my whole body was still pinned to the floor, as well as my head."Especially?" he asked in a lazy tone. Samar, in the midst of my burning anger, I could catch the strangeness in his voice just now.
"What do you mean? Indeed this is my real body" he replied, furrowing his thick eyebrows and then he continued to eat his dinner.I looked down at my plate of grilled vegetables and a few slices of meat and then turned my attention back to Balthazar. "Then why did you use that teenager's body earlier? To hide?" I asked again. I'm really curious, because if Leykan has the power to change their appearance it means I can go back to my previous face."No." He put down his spoon and fork and folded his arms across his chest. "Just so you know, living for decades in the body of a teenager isn't easy.""Then why ... " I stopped myself when I saw his eyebrows raised again. "Is it because of me?" I asked surprised.Balthazar didn't answer me, but I'm sure his silence just now meant 'yes'. I slumped in my seat, so the reason Balthazar's body looked like a teenager was because of me. "Then why ... you didn't break my seal a long time ago?""I'm waiting for you to come to me alone." he answered b
"I also want to see-" Then I remembered the video call just now. "Oh ... Sorry, it seems my cellphone camera was broken after accidentally hitting it last night," I lied.I bit my lip with a bit of anxiety because Alex was silent for a long time. We grew up together, so sometimes he can tell when I'm lying."Can I see you in person?" he asked suddenly.I slumped on the edge of the bed. "What do you mean?" Then a ridiculous thought crossed my head. "Alex ... don't tell me you were still in Yellowstone territory from earlier.""Today is still my day off, don't you remember?"I closed my eyes tightly, today we should still spend time together. "Alex ... ""I'm still in the forest near Balthazar castle, I just wanted to catch a glimpse of you. You just need to come out onto the balcony so we don't have to meet in person.I bit my lip harder to hold back my longing for him. "I can't." I stopped for a moment to swallow my sad feelings. "As Balthazar said I still need two weeks-""Five days,
Balthazar narrowed his eyes when he saw my response. "Don't'? You sound like I'm going to just kill Alex Brennan ... "I gave him a small smile. "You sound like you're going to beat him to the punch."He looked me up and down briefly then studied my face again. "You're still a little pale, would you like to come out for a bit to sunbathe?" he offered in a sympathetic voice."But today my schedule is cooking."Balthazar shook his head. He was still wearing his turtle neck sweater from yesterday. "Just let me cook breakfast today.""Are you sure?" I asked standing up and following him out of my room. "I already feel fine, really." And it's true, I don't feel dizzy anymore even though my chest still hurts a bit."No ... No need, I'll make breakfast. You can just sunbathe in the backyard," Balthazar replied.I followed him from behind. It's still a little strange to see his tall body, even though he's usually a little shorter than me. We walked past a row of large windows on the second fl
Balthazar took me to the small garden beside the castle because this is where it gets the most shade during the day. I remember this place ... because Alex kissed me here once at a Full Moon Night party. That night this place is very dark because of the lack of lights, but during the day this garden looks even more beautiful.The sound of a gurgling fountain could be heard faintly, Balthazar told me to sit on one of the benches while He himself stood next to the fountain. He just stared at me for a few moments until I frowned."What?" I asked."Don't you feel it?" he asked with a faint smile."Feel what?" I asked back. Only then did I realize I couldn't get up from my stool. It felt like my body was like a magnet stuck tightly to the bench. I looked up at Balthazar then pulled the corners of my mouth down. "Couldn't you have warned me before doing it?" I protested angrily.'Caroline, this is nothing compared to yesterday" she replied, grinning slightly. He took his place on another st
"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
