We arrived at Pack's house about twenty minutes later. Tim immediately said goodbye again after dropping me off, I thanked him before he pedaled his bike again towards town.Even though Pack's house is quite far from downtown, he always rides his bicycle everywhere.I walked through the main gate. The front yard of Pack's house looks deserted this afternoon, maybe because the young Pack members who live here are busy with their own activities. Some are still in school, while some have started working.As I crossed the wide yard to the front door of the house. I accidentally looked up at the row of windows on the third floor, Alex's study was on that row. By chance or something, a man's silhouette suddenly pulled back the curtains on one of the windows and looked out into the courtyard ... right at me.And who was looking at me from the window on the third floor was Alex. Even though I was far away I could see the look of shock and anger mixed on her face. My steps stopped when Alex clo
Alex was the first to look at me after I threw out my question. He shook his head slightly. Then Jake, Luca, and Jordan took turns looking at me too."No, Caroline. There were actually two more Rogues who came into the Night Walker's territory when you were kidnapped" explained Luca kindly.I don't know how long I held my breath, but when I let out a sigh, all the tension I felt before was replaced by relief. "I think ... I think the victim is Bastien," I explained, a bit embarrassed because I had made my own assumptions.Luca shook his head briefly as he pulled his eyebrows up. "Sorry, we should have explained that to you first.""It's fine, just carry on. I can ask Alex later" I replied. I'll ask Alex about Bastien's condition later. I still have a lot to ask.Especially about Vincent. Why hasn't my uncle shown his nose since that night in the Godelin mountains? I get really nervous every time I think of Vincent. He fought in his wolf form with Jake and Alex, didn'tVincent says he c
Alex's whole body who was kneeling in front of me stiffened. So did Jake, Luca, and Jordan. The three of them looked shocked."Is it not Dimitri who hurt you like this?" Jordan asked, his black eyes widening. "So the Rogue who died this morning did it?"All pairs of eyes looked at me and waited for me to answer Jordan's question."Charlie and Zaya were assigned to look after me. There's usually one more werewolf but I only saw these two that day so I thought it was a good chance to escape" I explained as I tried to swallow the lump of sadness in my throat. Alex took my hand and held it, his warm hand giving me the strength to continue."After a week in that dungeon I was starting to feel hopeless. So I tried to run away. Maybe it was because Charlie panicked while chasing me. I'm here to tell Alex."I saw Luca shake his head as he listened to my story. "Caroline, you don't need to defend him. What he did and the consequences are his own fault," he said firmly."Luca's right" Alex said
Of the three of them, only Jake returned to report. Luca and Jordan immediately went after any traces of Dimitri they found. I felt a little guilty for not telling them straight away that I saw Dimitri, because before I thought he was just my imagination."We found no other evidence other than the few traces that Luca and Jordan found," Jake said as he threw himself onto the couch in exhaustion, his head up to the ceiling. "How can he hide his smell so perfectly?" he muttered with a deep frown."Vincent did that too. He disguised himself as a human for years," I answered.'Dimitri and Vincent are both half Leykan blood, and one of their strengthsishiding their scent so they can't be detected," I continued seeing Jake's confused expression."As long as they don't use Leykan's powers that they hide," said Alex who sat on the sofa across from Jake. He had been silent since earlier, after hearing Dimitri managed to escape from the Night Walker's territory his expression turned stiff."Ooo
I lifted my body and sat on the bed, my body felt fresher than before. I walked to the bathroom because I wanted to pee and check the wound on my back because I haven't had time to do that today.After finishing my little business I stood in front of the big bathroom mirror then opened my Cardigan and then the loose shirt I was wearing. I turned my body to check if the bandage I was wearing was stained with blood that was seeping again, but the bandage was still pure white without the slightest stain.When my fingers carefully touchedthe injured part over the bandages I felt no pain. It was very strange, even though this afternoon my whole back felt like it was on fire. Out of curiosity I felt harder, but again I felt nothing ... I just felt the pressure under the bandage.After a few moments of contemplating, I finally decided to remove the bandages covering my back. I took off one by one the bandages that stuck to my body and when I was finished I turned around again to see my back
Three days passed but there was no sign of Vincent yet. He still disappeared without a trace as if he had been swallowed up by the earth. Alex is still trying to track it down but so far it hasn't worked out anything.For the past three days we have received the latest news from Bastien Archer who is currently busy with his new assignment as the Alpha Pack Basilisk. Even though it's not official yet, all Basilisk members have started to accept it.At first the other members of the BasiliskPack could not accept the attack on Dimitri's loyal followers in Godelin's mountain range, but after that Bastien came forward and claimed to be the son of the previous Alpha. The people who once saved Bastien and smuggled him into the Silver Moon Pack also came forward to convince the members who still didn't trust Bastien.So far the problem has been resolved smoothly, but Alex as the person who is directly involved in the problem is getting more and more preoccupied too.Luka and Jordan came seve
I heard from Jake that apart from Bastien, now Luca and Jordan also know about Vincent's true identity. They could tell from Vincent's wolf form which had a silver tint. All the Leykans who had ever been seen transforming into their wolf form had silver fur, and the wolf Vincent yesterday had similar characteristics, although not all of his fur was silver.Luca and Jordan themselves felt a bit annoyed because they knew their defeat when testing Vincent in the Enforcer exam was actually because he had Leykan's blood that helped him. But Jake says the two Enforcers are willing to keep Vincent's secret ... for a while.Maybe both of them felt that they violated the rules, because as Enforcers they shouldn't be silent when they know that there are still Lycan descendants living in this world.I can't get rid of the guilt that tucks in my heart every time I remember him, he has protected me for most of my life and now Vincent has to reveal his identity because of me too.Nearly fifteen day
"He's- He's talking to me," I said in confusion.Alex frowned, his expression still tense."What?"I still looked at him with a surprised face.The wolf just now seemed to be communicating with me."Alex removed his hands from my shoulders, with the same expression as before. He looked towards the forest. "Do you think it was Vincent?" he asked in a near whisper. "Only fellow Lycans can communicate, and I didn't notice it coming into this territory until I heard its howling."We both fell silent, trying to hear any sounds that might come from the forest. Jake, Luca, and Alpha Sam are chasing the wolf ... they should be able to surround him easily."Was that really Vincent just now?" I asked in a tight voice."I don't know, I can't smell anything from this close" Alex replied. "I hope it is Vincent."But why did Vincent come in his wolf form? I'm sure Alex is also thinking the same thing as me right now. Did that mean the wolf was still in control of her body?We still stood in our pos
"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
