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
"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
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
"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
"So ... has anyone asked you yet?" asked Jen, my best friend, we were walking towards the school gate.Her large, dark gray eyes looked at me suspiciously. Her golden hair was carelessly tied up to frame her face in a slightly messy way.And yes, Jen was discussing Prom, her favorite topic for the past three weeks."Ah ... not yet?" I answered with a little hesitation, because I knew what she would say next."You turn down anyone who asks, right?" Her forehead furrowed in annoyance, "Cara, honey, you need a prom partner!""How about I go with you?" I replied with a sweet smile."I'm going with the Dane. And you can't be the third person in my relationship." her eyes narrowed as she looked at me."Then I'll go with Eric.""Eric? Cara, please, why can't you find another boy? Eric's probably going out with his girlfriend anyway." Jenna blinked with laughter.Eric and Jenna are my two closest friends in high school, even though our class is different from Eric, we always meet during reces
EW! Cara, she's your sister, you idiot! I repeated in my head."What were you thinking about that made your head contort like that?" Asked Alex after sitting in the driver's seat, then he took something from the backseat of his car.At this close distance the smell of aftershave and perfume faintly wafted up my nose. I always liked the smell of his perfume, Alex never wore expensive masculine perfume that actually smelled strong.The smell of Alex's perfume made me think of the forest and trees. Smells of pine and a hint of mint."HappyBirthdayCaroline Brennan." Alex held out a bouquet of blood red roses and a black velvet box with a small smile.I stared at him stunned, too shocked to speak. If Alex wasn't my brother I would have stopped my thoughts quickly at this point, now I'm thinking about if Alex wasn't my brother? I feel disgusted at myself.Usually Alex only gives me small things like perfume or sneakers on my birthday.I stared at the bouquet of roses whose smell permeated t
He was silent for a full minute. "Whoever your biological parents were, Mum and Dad are still your family. They love you as much as they love me. We can find out your parents' information later, I promise. There's something else I want you to know right now." His brown stared at me expectantly, while part of my brain has processing the information that just came out of his mouthHe looked at me fixedly with his brows furrowed"Cara, I'm a Werewolf."I looked at Alex with a feeling between wanting to cry and laugh"Are you kidding me?" My voice started to rise out of the anger I felt.Alex shook his head quickly. "You are my mate and I knew it from the first time we met. That's why I asked Mum and Dad to adopt you."My almost exploding anger made me really want to punch him right now. I pulled my hand from his grip, Alex just replied with a slightly hurt look."Show me." I almost laughed at my own words because I almost believed what Alex just said. He looked at me before standing up f
"Mate ... Soulmate. Every werewolf has a soul mate, whether it's a human or a fellow werewolf. Mates are predestined from the moment they're born, and nothing can change them. Like a puzzle, nothing but their mate can complete them." he answered while rubbing the back of his neck."And you are my mate, Caroline." My heart flutters when Alex says my name, I love it when he says my full name."Alex ... I am your sister." I said quietly. "Are you crazy?""You still don't understand, Cara? Haven't you noticed all this time when I threatened every boy who wanted to approach you? When I hit Joseph because he almost kissed you? You are mine, Cara."I flinched when Alex said I was his. "I'm not an item." I replied with an angry frown."You know that's not what I meant." he said softly. "You are mine, because I am also yours. All ... all. Mate is a once in a lifetime partner for a werewolf."His words made my stomach feel like it was being surrounded by hundreds of butterflies."That's why I b
