Clayton looked at his Beta in surprised. Of all things that he could think about what Liam will be suggesting, breaking into someone’s territory didn’t came up in his mind. He also noticed Lily giving her twin a surprised look.
“Of all things that you can think of, that’s the best you can come up with?” Matt scoffed dryly.
Liam stared back at him evenly.
“You have a better suggestion, Doc?” He returned.
“Stop it,” Lily snapped at him. She gripped her brother’s wrist tightly as if sending him a message as well. “He’s just asking because there might be another way for us to get the answers we need. We should not be careless because Gabriel Saville might discover that we’ve been there.”
“That’s the only way. Break in can be done late in the evening,” Gavin suddenly agreed. He stood up and looked at Matt seriously. “How long can you be able to ma
Part II.Amarah opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long while before finally deciding to move. She sat up on the side of her bed, rubbing her eyes gently before looking out the window, and see the rays of the sun peaking through the tree branches.It has been two weeks since Clayton finally brought her with him to where his pack stays. He got into a heated argument with her father when he expressed his intent on bringing her with him back to his pack, Amarah was scared when she witnessed her father as well as Clayton’s temper clashed.“You are not bringing her there with you!” Mr. Saville exclaimed firmly when Clayton told him about his plan. “You will be putting her at risk once you bring her to your pack. She is safer here away from us!”Clayton narrowed his eyes.“She will be much safer when I am near her!” He insisted evenly. “You will no longer be responsible for her, Alpha Gavin. Fr
Clayton looked up from the book that he is skimming through inside the Lycan Royal Archive, his eyes bloodshot from sleepless nights to be able to get to the bottom of the thing bothering him since he came back from breaking into Gavin Saville’s residence.“Any luck?” He asked, his voice hoarse. He turned when he heard no response from Lily. He saw her sleeping deeply with her head on the table, her arms covering her face. He stood up and put his jacket over her, protecting her from the cold before he walked towards one window and looked out at the starry, night sky.He then looked down and saw wolves from different packs going around the castle grounds. He turned back towards the table he occupied with Lily and looked at the pile of books which contains the recordings of wolves around fifty years ago. The book opened in front of Lily, while she is sleeping deeply is about the history of the Saville’s.“You’re still here, Clay
Amarah leaned back on the tree trunk where she decided to sit down and continued sulking quietly. It has been five days since she attempted to leave the pack territory only to be caught up by Bradley near the border and dragging her back.“The alpha has told you to wait!” Bradley scolded, gripping her upper arm firmly without hurting her. “Amarah, please bear in mind that he has other things to attend to aside from your whining of seeing your family!”“He’s calling it whining?!” She screeched angrily. She stopped on her tracks and looked up at him intently and pulled her arm way. “Is that what he is calling it now?! Whining?”Bradley only let out a frustrated sigh, muttering under his breath.“You don’t have to keep your eyes on me, Mr. Bradley,” she said tightly. “I’m sorry that you have to babysit for me while the alpha is away. I give you my word that I will not leave t
Clayton opened the car door and helped Amarah out early the following night after parking in front of his parents’ house. He closed the door behind her and looked up at the house where he grew up.“Your house looks beautiful,” Amarah commented beside him softly.He took her hand and clasped it gently, bringing it to his lips and kissed it lightly. He looked down at her dress in a casual, denim, ankle pants with an oversized beige, silk blouse and black blazer. She paired it with a low-heeled strappy sandal with thick heels.“Have I told you that you look beautiful tonight?” He asked as he led the way to the front door slowly due to her ankle. “Anyway, I guess I have something to be thankful for with the doctor’s presence here. Though I didn’t like it one bit of him touching you.”“Matt’s a doctor, you know that,” she answered gently. She gently moved her ankle, showing it to him
Amarah sat beside Clayton at the Langston’s dinner table with her hands gripping the napkin she placed on her lap. She was staring blankly at her plate and only was shaken out of her reverie when he placed a hand on her shoulder gently to get her attention.She looked up at him warily.“Would you like some vegetables to go with the chicken?” He asked with a smile.“Chicken?!” She returned and she finally noticed that Clayton have placed a piece of chicken on her plate along with some potatoes. “Oh, yes. Please. Not too much though.”Clayton nodded and served her a spoonful on her plate.“Thank you,” she said calmly.“How do you find living in the pack so far, Amarah?” Mr. Langston asked politely. “Are you adjusting well? Do let Clayton know if you’re finding it difficult, okay? I’m sure it’s not going to be an easy thing for you.”Amarah ga
Amarah opened her eyes at something tickling her on the face. She suddenly sat up straight when she saw that the sky is already light blue and white clouds slowly filling it, realizing that it’s already dawn. She looked around frantically and gathered that she must have fallen asleep when she took a rest from walking back home last night.She braced one hand on the ground and gently stood up and finally taking off her other sandal, holding both on one hand as she slowly walked back the road, clutching her jacket tightly around herself. She then made her way back to the central grounds, limping and stopping from time to time when she felt some discomfort on her ankle.Her stomach suddenly grumbled, and Amarah remembered that she hadn’t eaten well from last night’s dinner due to the hostility she felt from Clayton’s mom.“Stop thinking, Mari,” she scolded herself loudly as events from last night came back. She shook her head to
Clayton nodded as he walked through the crowd, who are going towards the open grounds, which he had previously made a picnic area during weekends on a late Friday afternoon. He smiled as families passed by with the young pups getting excited and bringing some of their favorite toys.He finally reached the pack’s learning center and he proceeded to one classroom and stopped by the open doorway. He looked inside and watched as Lily meticulously arranged the books stacked on the table beside her back in the shelves along one wall.“Hey.” He called out softly and immediately noticed her gripping the book she is holding.Apparently, Lily is still mad at him for what he did with Matt.“Why are you here, Alpha?” She addressed formally without turning to him. She took another book and scanned through the row and inserted it in one section. “If you’re looking for Amarah, let me tell you that Matt is back at my home and cur
“Elise, look at me!” Matt’s voice ordered over the noise. He was kneeling in front of her while Amarah is beside him, ready to assist once he needs it. A chair with a basin of warm water and towels are beside her and a small table with the heating lamp Clayton took from his room. “Listen to my voice, okay? Just my voice. You’ll get to listen to your husband’s irritating voice for the rest of your life but right now, it’s my voice you should follow.”“Why you -,” Liam scoffed but Clayton held him tightly.Amarah bit her lip to keep from smiling. She knew Matt’s strategy and it is to turn Elise’s attention away from the pain she is currently experiencing.“I don’t want this anymore!” Elise wailed.“You can blame your husband after everything is over,” Amarah answered as she gripped Elise’s other hand gently. “Men, right?! They always think they&
