Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

I had the feeble she-wolf’s eyes looking up at me with intrigue. She had been trying so hard to sound confident. Ballsy. It was almost laughable. This she-wolf was neither of those things. There was nothing self-assured about this little thing. She looked like she would jump at her own shadow. I smirked at the idea.“Are you laughing at me?” She asked, a hint of defiance in her tone. “Considering you are wanting me to help you, you seem to have an odd way of gaining favor.”I once again found myself unable to resist the urge to smirk, even a small chuckle slipped out, which caused a flicker of irritation to burn within her bright blue eyes. Okay, so there was some emotion other than fear hidden inside of her somewhere, I pondered.‘Stop being an ass.’ My wolf warned. ‘We are here for a reason, and she may well be the key to helping.’My shoulders sagged. My wolf was right. There was me enjoying the teasing a little too much. Though I have no clue where th

I didn’t know what the hell had come over me. But Mari was all but up against the wall, with me standing in front of her. Admittedly, it ws me that had maneuvered her there, but I needed answers. I hoped by saying what I did to her, she may slip and give me some information that may indicate what the hell was going on with her. Because I was near certain, something about the girl did not add up. But frail or not, she was not for sharing information. She said not a damn word. Maybe she was stronger than I gave her credit for...And just as I was about to speak again in a bid to continue my efforts, there were heavy footsteps behind us, as I heard a familiar voice. “I’m sorry, Mari, is my jackass of an Alpha getting in your face?” Hudson’s voice rang out. “Or was he playing nice and were you getting it on? Because that would sure be a turn up for the books!”Anger pulsed through my body. How fucking dare he? He was implying I wou

My eyes narrowed at the man in front of me. Had he lost his god-damn mind?! I swallowed more than a little anxiously. Weighing up my options right now. What the hell was I to do? I had already agreed to help them, or at least I think I had, but never did I think he had meant in this way. Truth be told, when I did agree, I didn't really contemplate what it may entail. Now, I was left pondering exactly what might be expected of me. I knew I was stuck...The man was an Alpha. He was watching me closely; and that made me feel like a fallen piece of prey. I was done for. He could sense so much more than the standard man… the standard werewolf. He would know I was hiding things. And I was terrified if I did not go along with this, then it would make him suspicious, giving away the secrets that I held…“You lost the ability to talk now?” Alpha Carter’s harsher tone was back. I swear this man could not stay being nice for long. I knew the niceness was forced simply to gain his own way. Or bec

My head felt like I had been hit. It was spinning. My insides were churning, and I felt like I wanted to throw up. Yet I had to compose myself. I had Alpha Carter sitting watching me. And his intense gaze was enough to make even the toughest of men crumble. He had been at our family home. Looking for Mari. That, in itself, was bad enough. But to know my Dad had been there too? That was fucking disastrous. I needed to know Mari was okay…But, right now, I needed to act like everything was okay. I needed to escape this situation. ‘What is going on?’ Matty’s voice was bugging me through the mindlink. Pestering. Asking me yet again. ‘Why are you ignoring me? You are acting weird.’That had to be his third time of asking since I had responded to the Alpha. I wish he would just leave me alone. Did he not understand I was worried about my sister? No, he did not know what was going on at home, nor would he ever, if I got my way, but surely

Alpha Carter’s questions were hitting a little too close to home. I did not like it. I had made my excuses and left as fast as I was able. Using much the same tactics I used with my Dad when he was at his worst, in a bid to distract him, only Alpha Carter was not so easy to divert. The fact he was stone-cold sober likely made a huge difference, unlike my father…I brushed all thoughts of our current guests aside, and made my way to the house. Dread weighing heavier than ever inside of me. I did not know what I would find. My Dad did not hurt her… not really. Only with his words... his mind-games. But the way things were going of late, his aura had altered once more. He had become more withdrawn. Darker. Colder. I barely recognized the man I once idolized. Adored. Now, I struggled to look in his direction. With the way he had changed, I knew he had become further entangled with his grief. His depression. His inner-battles... And, I feared that he may lose c
