Thalia dropped the boxes she was holding in her hands, she could see the raw need in Carter's eyes but she was sure that was as harmless as it seemed. She could feel stiffness all over her body as she stared at him like he was some monster that seemed to have barges right inside her world and was determined to conquer it. And Thalia had a sick suspicion that he would and could do that.
" Jesus, just look at your expression" chuckled Carter with a touch of lazy hum in his voice like he just didn't say something that might flip their upside down and change everything about them " I didn't ask you to give birth to my firstborn"
Thalia narrowed her eyes as she eyed him wryly " I'm pretty sure that's this is worst, giving birth has a limit to it but becoming yours, seems like a tough job without a determined timeline but you are not serious are you?"
His mouth flattened and Thalia could see his nostrils flare but she really had to hand it to him, his expressio
" and what if I am your mate?" he asked tipping her chin up so that she was looking right in his Chocolate mocha coloured eyes. " it's impossible" " and how are you so sure about it?" " I have always been waiting for my mate, nothing is jamming on my side. I have yearned for my mate like my next breath - so save your lies for someone else Carter because fate will let me know when my mate comes for me" Her unexpected bluntness surprised him and he paused momentarily. For the damndest silver of second, he started reconsidering his plans. He does agree that her defiance sometimes entertained him, and her scent was something that seemed to have been designed just for him. It enticed him, his cock and his wolf. If he does what he initially intended to do then he might burn her out, but then again it was highly impossible for her to agree with him, not after he kind of manhandled her, let her get bullied and now seem to lure her in for the sak
" what are you doing with her?" asked Scarlet her gaze fixated on Carter but Thalia could hear the acidic note in her voice, that biting edge was a promise that she should start watching her back, in case she didn't want her head to be bitten off by a crazy she-wolf. Thalia could feel her stomach churn, she has never considered this possibility where Carter might have a girlfriend. She knew that this could be Scarlet ' piss off from the man I like' tactic but Thalia still felt sick in her stomach.Ripping his arm from Scarlet, Cartee bristled " fuck off," before he turned around to leave. He didn't once look back much less help her up after he pushed her down on the ground.Thalia watched him go, and her rage burned more and more in her heart. She was really a fool, wasn't she? Just a few sweet words and fake promises and she let him wind her up as he liked. Though his short concise answer did refute the claim Scarlet tried to make on him but it didn't change the fact
Alpha Carter 26"I don't think he is loony enough to up in our territory," said Jake. "I am pretty certain that if Marcus was smart enough to leave his sister behind for the sake of saving his skin. He is smart enough not to do such a suicidal act.""So you are saying that Marcus most likely would try to corner us when we are alone?" asked Shayne, as Jake nodded. "The way I see it, we should hunt him down before he goes around hunting for us. If we continue to wait for him to show himself, Marcus would only have more time in his hands to plan a well-thought-out attack against us. Don't forget we plundered his territory and killed his sister. Even if that ratass is a coward, he would still want revenge on us. It's no longer the matter of a simple business feud between two packs. Now his pride as an Alpha is on the line. He will definitely try to regain his territory as well as his pride by attacking us.""I have better th
Damn motherfucker....Carter felt his wolf slam right against his gut as soon as he recognised that pouty mouth, long sable hair and those electric blue eyes, Carter sometimes wondered why his wolf didn't care about those inscriptions that were embedded in her skin but the animal didn't even look at them much less care about those inscriptions. His attention would be completely focused on Thalia whenever she was around, but despite the hardening of his c*ck and his wolf's constant urging, Carter could feel his mood shift from normal to irritating real quick.Because Thalia came with a guy... A guy. A guy he has no idea about when he made a quick check through the people who worked with Jonathan did pop up but his presence and skills were just mediocre and Jonathan specifically mentioned that this guy had a very firm code of never dating his colleagues. So, what was this now?Carter's mouth flattened when he saw Thalia giving that guy a beaming smile, a
Thalia walked past the dining table where the rest of the pack was gathered around, she pretended not to notice Carter's gaze that was locked on her. His glare has been drilling into her ever since she returned home... And not in a good way. He looked angry and vengeful, and that only made him look even more brooding than he usually looked. On normal days, his gaze would have heated up her blood but not today, he was making a chill rise up her spine. He had shot the same look to her at the diner in the noon, but back then they were surrounded by a good audience, and Thalia was able to react appropriately to the incoming danger. But at the pack territory, there was no Dominic to protect her and as his gaze turned more and more chill, Thalia couldn't help but wonder whether it was time to hone her ' flight' skills.It was hard to ignore him when he was driving all his attention on her.Yet Thalia was quite certain she did a good job ignoring it as she rounded the d
Barely holding back a sigh, Thalia brushed her bangs out of her eyes. She had to pay strict attention to where she was going because the entire packhouse was built like a weird crisscrossing maze. Worst of all was Carter's office; as the Alpha of the pack, his office was situated in the center. One wrong turn and Thalia might end up somewhere she didn't intend to go to, not that she wasn't willing.Not one person looked worried about her well-being when she walked out of the room, except for Kim. In fact, if anything, their icy glares seemed to be burning in her back from their dislike. They couldn't believe that she had just put Scarlet in her place where she belonged. Well, great, she wasn't up for bonding with her bullies either."Thalia -" Kim rushed past the kitchen counter, ignoring the groaning Scarlet as Mercy helped her up from the ground. Scarlet was handed a tissue to wipe the blood off of her face, "You don't have to. I will talk
Thalia waited for Carter to say something, but she awkwardly raised her hand when he didn't. "If we are done, then maybe I should just... you know, leave?" she said, pointing to the door of his office."You seem to be in a hurry?" Carter replied as he narrowed his eyes. He looked at her. It almost felt like he looked through her, his dark gaze focussed on her, "Do you have a prior engagement or something? Why are you rushing to leave?""Well... uh, yes I do. I have a prior engagement, and I do need to be there soon," Thalia had arranged to go to the shifters club Essence with Kim. Those passes were only valid for this weekend. But she didn't have any pretty dresses to wear to the club. Kim had suggested going shopping and then going to a movie or something before they headed to the club. Of course, their plans couldn't be finalized because Scarlet jumped the gun and jumped Thalia, causing the current mess she was dealing with.
"Hello?" Thalia didn't know where she was. It was dark, too dark for her to even see what was next to her. She could feel her skin prickling with unease. She hated darkness, not because it completely blinded her but because she was unconsciously afraid of what was hiding in it. Her eyesight was greatly diminished because of the curse. She was almost reduced to being like a helpless human with only the additional defenses of her swift and agile movements together with her sharp claws."Where am I?" she asked to no one in particular. What was she doing before coming here? Thalia tried to remember any details before this sudden darkness engulfed her, but nothing came to her mind. She tried to step out of the dark corner that she felt she was cornered in. Thalia felt that she was hiding but had no idea why or what she was hiding. She walked away from her hiding corner, but almost involuntarily, she started to walk in a particular direction.Now
