ALARIC “Noses to the wind and ground, everyone. He could not have gotten far. He is injured!” I yelled for the pack to hear. I came to a stop and inhaled the air with focus, but it was just like Valen had never been here. “I can’t smell him.” Ronan panted as he came to a stop beside me. “Fuck!” I punched a tree as I partly shifted. I punched the tree several times over as I yelled. Valen had come. Again. And I didn’t get him. Punching the tree only seemed to make me angrier. I needed to pour it out on someone. I abruptly turned and grabbed Ronan’s shirt and shoved him to the ground. “You had him!” I shouted. “How could you be careless and stupid enough to let him get away?” He grunted as I landed a punch across his face. Some of the pack members had already started gathering around to watch. They could feel the tension. I stood up from him and dragged him to his feet. He was bigger than me in size, but he was no match for me in strength. I shoved him against a tree and leaned

ALARIC Ronan had his snout to the ground below in the woods as I sat on a tree branch looking around. He was in his wolf form to help smell better. “Do you think he came alone? He barely left any trail behind.” I said and waited for a response, but didn’t get any. I looked down at his big wolf form as he sniffed the ground like his life depended it. I sighed and looked at the expanse of land. “And if he had any help, I mean if he didn't come alone, there would be signs, but I can't sense even a faint smell. They have to be using something.” I added and still didn't get any response. I looked down at Ronan again and he was still wandering and sniffing fiercely, with his nose too low to the ground, and his butt absurdly high in the air as his tail swung from side to side.“That won't do anything, Ronan! We have done that over and over. We have to do something that would actually yield results and not waste our time.”I watched as he shifted back to his man form and stood naked. “B

RONANI gulped down water as I listened to Selene. It was obvious that she had no trust whatsoever in me.“Look at her. You think she's up to trouble?” She asked calmly.“I know it. I can feel it.” I responded as I shrugged off my jacket. “It's just something in her eyes that tells me she won't just stay put and do nothing.” Selene gave me an incredulous look.“Really? You're acting on feelings now? In a situation like this?” I sighed. “I don't blame you. You wouldn’t understand. Just make sure you watch her closely and report back to me. Let me know even when she breathes wrongly.”She looked at me like I was insane.“Now, that just sounds creepy. Does Alaric know you are doing this?”“Look, I just… I can't explain anything now, because even I don't understand, but I know there is something.” Selene sighed and stood up to walk away.“You're just wasting your time, Ronan. Do you really think Valen would come back here after shooting him with poison? And that's if he even survives

ARIAI woke up to the sound of heavy breathing. So, I had fallen asleep after all. I yawned quietly before pushing the heavy covers off me and sitting up. I looked around and saw Alaric doing push-ups with one arm in the middle of the spacious room. He was dressed in black loose pants and a grey singlet that was already soaked with sweat. Tattoos covered both of his hands and his neck, they disappeared under his singlet. I wondered if the whole of his body was covered with tattoos. The designs were also amazing, nothing common like you'd usually see on people. The tattoos looked traditional, not just because he wanted to get something inked into his skin. I watched in amazement as his muscles flexed and sweat dripped down his chin and fell on the wooden floor, my mouth sudden felt dry. He looked so hot.I kept on watching silently. I was in love with the way his muscles kept moving beneath the thick arm that was on the floor, the other was on his back. This man screamed strength, be

ARIAI needed to get out of this place before things became more complicated than they already were.The way he had held me in place, the things he had said, and the way he had kissed me without caring whether I wanted it or not kept playing in my head, making me even more uncomfortable with the thought of being around him.I had enough problems without adding whatever strange obsession he seemed to have developed with me.The longer I stayed in this house, the more complicated things would become, and I had no intention of allowing myself to get tangled up in whatever was going on in his head.All I needed was an opportunity to leave.Unfortunately, escaping wasn't as simple as walking out through the front door. Mira had already warned me about how the pack members felt about me, and I hadn't forgotten her words. Still, I couldn't spend the rest of my life hiding in a bedroom just because a bunch of wolves didn't like me. I needed to know my surroundings if I wanted to leave succes
