Is Soph overreacting or is her fear justified? Also, do you think Kaden orchestrated everything?
"What is this?" " What is what?" Leander asks driving through the entrance of Arctic Warriors. What happened to four hours? We left the mall an hour ago and here we are. Is this one of Kaden's mind control? Did he trick me into thinking we'd spent four hours on the road while I circled the same place or did he do it just after we left the hotel? Great, now I'm not even making sense. "How come we're back so fast?" I want to explode and ask if this is all Kaden's doing then scream at him, wherever he may be but I hold my tongue. I can't lose my shit. Although, at this point, all it'll take is one little thing to tip me over the edge. "I may or may not have tampered with the directions. I thought it would help you two get closer" "You did. Didn't you?" "I'm sorry. It won't happen again" When the car stops in front of the pack house, I jump out and head straight to my room. Not bothering to carry any of the bags filled with my clothes and shoes. I can't remember a single piece
I know he was here and it is my fault for being reckless. I didn't think he would come back so soon. Then again, in the last ten years, Sophia is the only outsider who has spent more than a night in the pack. That explains why that man got curious about her. When I left her at the hotel, I was angry but I still took Leander there to keep an eye on her. My anger lasted for about an hour before I forgot about it and started searching for traces of the man. I call him ghost man because he comes and goes as he pleases but I haven't found out anything about him. Not even the first letter of his name. Everywhere I go, I'm always searching, hoping he would slip up and make a mistake. So when I caught his scent, I was too excited and forgot that he liked to play games. Isn't that the reason he hasn't revealed his face? Because he wants to keep playing with me? For a second there, I lost my cool. And when I followed his scent, I went in circles before it led me back to the pack. I've never be
He left without saying anything. When I told Kaden I was leaving, he didn't even act like he'd heard me. I expected him to try and stop me or taunt me about how I'll never escape from him. But he just walked out. Leaving me standing in the middle of the kitchen and confused as hell. Does this mean I'm free to leave? Or is he playing with me? Why can I still feel my skin burning where he touched me? He only grabbed me by the waist and set me aside. His purpose to get me out of his way. So why did it feel like he set my stomach on fire? I lean on the counter, holding my face in my hands. If I'm being honest with myself, the only reason I'm scared of Kaden is because of his mind-controlling abilities. I don't want to be his puppet. Other than that, there's really nothing to be afraid of. It's just the word Lycan rattled me. Up until the day before yesterday, I didn't think they existed. Not even in my wildest dreams. But after I gave it some thought, I realized that maybe he wasn't as b
I tap my foot continuously, waiting for Hector to arrive. This time, he won't be able to leave me behind because I won't let him. The second he arrives, I'll take over from him. He can get some rest while I drive. Yesterday, I remembered about the clothes Leander paid for and even though I won't take them with me, the least I could do is refund him. So imagine my surprise when he told me the money he used wasn't his but Kaden's. My guilt multiplied tenfold. I'd judged him too harshly but he still paid for my clothes. If he wanted to, he could drop me off far away from his territory and leave me to fend for myself. I decided to leave before he thought of doing just that. It's clear that I'm the asshole here. Too mortified to face him, I woke up early and settled for standing right outside the front entrance to wait for Hector. I'm determined to leave before we bump into each other. After two long hours, I finally hear the sound of a car approaching. Goddess, it took him long enough. S
It will only take me a few seconds to rip those arms off his sockets and roast them. I could prolong his torture by tearing him apart piece by piece until there's nothing left of him. What will his father do to me? It's not like the older man can start a war with an almost non-existent pack. Even if he does, I'll crush him like a bug under my feet. We've met a few times and despite not knowing what I am, he's scared of me. Why did Cahill let his son come here? Alphas don't let their heirs out of their sight. Especially when they only have one heir. If this idiot happened to die, the power would have to shift to another family. Are they both so dumb? I ask Leander to retreat. We don't beg. Even if it's that foolish woman who doesn't know what's good for her. I don't care that she left with another man who appears to be in love with her. It's her life. She's been trying to go back to him and I was holding her back. Foolish, blind woman. That kid would never make her happy. The moment h
This is definitely not the person I was expecting to see. Judging by the smug smile on his face, I know he was lying low, waiting for this moment. Reagan told me he'd withdrawn and never went back to Bittercrest. We were foolish to believe he'd do anything remotely close to that. His gigantic ego wouldn't let him. He's in a navy blue crisp suit, a white shirt, and a black trench coat. Aside from being a conceited asshole, he badly needs fashion advice. Who the hell wears Italian loafers to a jungle? I lift my eyes to his face "What do you want from me?" "Step out of the car so we can talk" "No thanks. I'm fine where I am" "I wasn't asking" His electric blue eyes flicker with impatience. He came with four guys. So it's five against four. I assume Nova and Hector can take two guys at the same time but what about Logan? Can Reagan and I take him? The answer is no. He's an Alpha. Which means, he's even stronger than Nova who has Alpha blood. As long as he hasn't taken over Alpha du
Before I can ask Kaden what he means, he's gone. Reagan huddles closer as Kaden walks back, dragging a white, dead bear. He's been gone for thirty seconds at most, and he already killed it? I look around nervously, noticing everyone staring at him curiously. Wondering if he truly killed that gigantic animal so fast. Even with our speed, most of us can't outrun one. But I already know, Kaden is not one of us. He's in his own league. Everything about him is extraordinary. Starting from his looks to his abilities. My eyes flicker to Reagan and I can see the appraisal in her eyes. She's sizing him up, trying to figure out how she can get him in her bed. Well, newsflash bestie, he's mine. Even if he might never want me again. "There was only one?" "Were you expecting a sleuth of them?" I open my mouth to tell him, no but Logan beats me to it "Who the fuck are you?" "That is none of your business" I jump in, not wanting him to start thinking. He'll go looking into Kaden and I'm su
It's been hours since she stomped off but I can still smell her on my fingertips. Feel the texture of her pussy, the way she trembled while I fingered her, and how much she wanted me. She's still as tight as she was when I took her virginity and it took a lot of effort not to drag her back. I refuse to be consumed by Sophia Rush again. The last time I did it, I paid a hefty price. It won't happen again. But even as I try to deny it, I know there's no avoiding it. Unless one of us leaves and never comes back. Problem is, try as I might, I can't seem to let her go. How many times has she tried to leave but I still followed her and brought her back? She's not the problem. I am. Maybe a little fun will keep me from hunting her down and fucking both our brains out. Strolling to the building where we keep our prisoners, I stop in front of a cell. "Rise and shine, princess" I whisper into his head. He groans, turns around slowly, and takes in his new cubicle. A few seconds later, he jumps t
