"Sparring?"."So what? Have Alex and Jake only been teaching you push ups all this time?" he asked, grinning playfully.My nod made his grin fade quickly. "Wait a minute ... So all this time they've really only trained you physically?""Isn't the title also physical exercise?" I asked back with a bit of surprise. Vincent rubbed his face with his hands when he heard that.He looked up at the evening sky above us, folding his arms across his chest. "That asked, grinning playfully.My nod made his grin fade quickly. "Wait a minute ... So all this time they've really only trained you physically?""Isn't the title also physical exercise?"

"That asked, grinning playfully.My nod made his grin fade quickly. "Wait a minute ... So all this time they've really only trained you physically?""Isn't the title also physical exer
Three days passed and finally Vincent had to start carrying out his duties as a new Enforcer member. Because the Enforcer's base is quite far from Pack's territory, he has to travel two hours by car every day. This means that Vincent can no longer train me every day.He was skeptical when I told him Alex would train me next. But Vincent himself knows, right now we have no other choice. Who else in the Pack had dared to hurt me while training besides Alex?We practiced every day for two hours in Pack's backyard when it was quiet. Alex is never late for my practice schedule, even though I know he's been busy lately.Even this afternoon he looked a bit tired than usual. I tried to tell him to rest and take turns with Jake, but Alex refused.So far I've only got bruises all over my body, Alex was very careful to make me cut to the point of bleeding ... and it seems he really avoided attacking my face. Well, at least now I have started practicing which is actually not just physical trainin
His teeth bit into my skin but didn't leave a mark. I know he has no intention of giving his mark to me right now. Alex returned to lick my skin briefly and then he leaned his forehead on my shoulder to regulate his hunting breath. My whole body felt like I was being flooded with a feeling I had never felt before in my life.I want Alex more than this.I swallowed my saliva to muffle that feeling and then buried it deep. A feeling of dread always ambushes me when I think about our future, and I'm too cowardly to ask Alex about it.Suddenly Alex sighed and pulled his body away from me, he smiled back at me until his face became more handsome. "Let's go now, before I change my mind." ***I went alone with Alex, while the other Pack members were allowed to go on their own. I thought Jake would be going with us, but he wasn't on this show. Alex said Jake hated Full Moon Parties, as much as Alex.He'd only been there once to socialize.Even though Jake doesn't have a mate yet. Thinking abo
As the night progresses, more and more new guests arrive at the Full Moon Party. Some approached us to greet Alpha Sam as the host of this event. Among them the majority are women, I think Alpha Sam's single status makes him a magnet tonight.I felt bad because he still insisted on accompanying me even though I had said I would join the Pack Night Walker member group to join in the conversation with them ."I promised Alex to stay with you until he comes back," she answered stubbornly. Is that really a mandatory trait of an Alpha? I thought in surprise.Alpha Sam introduced me to the people who approached him. But fortunately he introduced me as Alex's sister, maybe he already knows about the fact that Leykan doesn't have a mate? Or maybe it's because he can't smell Alex from me anymore after the marks on my neck fade. What's clear, I'm a bit relieved that he didn't tell anyone that I mate Alex, even though there's a bit of giddiness in my chest when I think about it.While Alpha Sam
Alpha Sam opened the white double doors in front of us. My eyes were immediately greeted by a row of bookshelves that soared up to the ceiling of this room.Just like the previous floor, a blue carpet covered the entire library floor, only this carpet had a beautiful pattern of gold and red. Sofas, table sets, chairs, and sofa beds that look soft and inviting are placed in the middle of the room. In the corner of the room there is a large fireplace and several individual sofas that have high backs.This place looks elegant and classic at the same time.I raised my hand to trace the titles of the books lined up on the bookshelf while reading slowly, from encyclopedias and science books to books with titles I couldn't read because they were written using the Russian alphabet.Alpha Sam didn't follow behind me while explaining how many books were in this library. I nodded slightly in response politely. I took a deep breath to smell the old books and papers in this room, this is my most f
He stared at me for a few minutes that made me feel awkward."You impolite," he muttered like a grouchy old man. I wanted to laugh when I heard his mismatched face and voice. I threw a smile at him and propped my chin on the back of the sofa."Why don't you join the show downstairs?" I askedHer hazel eyes looked irritated. He scratches his black hair briefly before answering me. "I wasn't invited. And this is my house."I can't hold back my big smile, this kid is really interesting. "Your house? I thought this castle was Alpha Sam's property" I said with a frown.He took a deep breath and closed his thick book. "Well ... this place is in Sam's name. But I bought it."He even called Alpha Sam's name very familiarly. I blinked a few times, it seemed he wasn't lying. Maybe he meant his parents bought this castle. "Do your parents live here too?" I continued.The boy pulled the corners of his mouth up, even his smile looked mature although a little arrogant too. "You son of a bitch is im
Alex didn't notice my interaction withDaniel just now. He took me to a dark and deserted garden which is beside this castle. When I looked back I couldn't see Daniel and his balcony anymore.'What is it?" His question made me turn my head at him again."Oh, nothing" I replied with a small smile.Alex let go of my hand and then cleaned one of the park benches with his handkerchief. The garden is filled with flower bushes and walls of tall but well groomed plants. In the middle of it a medium-sized fountain was lit up so that the sound of gurgling water flowing was loud enough around us. The only light now comes from the full moon above us.'Cara, you can sit here" Alex said, pointing to the bench he had just cleaned."Alex ... you don't need to wipe it clean." I could almost see the wood on the bench was glistening. I pulled his jacket to wrap around me tighter then sat down on the bench ."I don't want your dress to get dirty," she said and then she took a place next to me. For a few
His lips traced the base of my neck gently.Looks like Alex didn't hear my previous call. His hands were on my waist, almost gripping me so I wouldn't move from his lap."Alex" I called again when his wet tongue licked the skin of my neck, where the marks had once stuck to my body. He was getting ready to bite me, I could feel his hands squeezing my waist a few times. Maybe right now he is fighting the control of his wolf who wants to bite me and give his mark.Alex took a deep breath then exhaled it on my neck. "Wait a minute," he said in a low, hoarse voice. "Leave me in this position for a few more minutes."I hugged his head with one hand then ran my fingers through his brown hair until he regained control of himself. The night wind blows again, I feel warm because Alex's hot body temperature still covers me too. If only we could escape right now, to a place where no one else was at all. There's only the two of us.Idon't know how long my fingers played with his hair, Alex pulled
"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
