‘Where are you?!’ Ciara shouted while running towards her arrival.‘Help me!’ was all Bianca had been saying. She sounded scared. Seemed the situation was very dire.Ciara nearly collided with Scott while sliding down the ridge. She yelped, and Scott nodded. They both ran towards the caves on the cliff, beyond the pine forest. It was quite dark there, moreover the clouds had just passed and covered the moon.Scott lifted his snout in the air, smelling Bianca, and Ciara tried to do the same. But instead of finding what she was looking for, she found another scent. And all her fur bristling with horror.The same scent she had inhaled most of her life.They are here; she thought. They had found her.Her wolf felt the panic, and fear build up inside her, and the calm she had enjoyed earlier, the control she had had over her wolf, was gone in the blink of an eye.Ciara growled loudly and dashed past Scott, into the dense forest, following her keen sense of smell. Their smell became more pu

Anxiety crept all over Ciara’s body when her steps brought her back to Alpha’s house for the second time. She had a feeling that whatever talk that was about to happen would definitely not be good for her. But she had no other choice but to obey the order, because she was an eyewitness to the terrible events on the territory’s border.Scott repeatedly calmed her down, but the words he said didn’t make her anxiety go away.“Ready?” Scott asked as they reached Hugh’s study door. Scott held the door handle and looked at her.Ciara raised her gaze to him. “I have no choice,” she muttered.Scott pursed his lips. “I know. Hang in there, okay?”She nodded, and he opened the door.Inside, Hugh, Gordon, and several other werewolves that Ciara had never seen were waiting for her and Scott.“When they said you were badly hurt, I thought they were kidding,” Gordon said. He stood up from the chair and greeted Scott, giving him a manly hug while gently patting him on the back.“I’m not badly hurt,”

Ciara and Scott returned home, mentally and physically exhausted. But they didn’t have much time to rest. Burke had scheduled each member of the patrol team to assemble later that evening, conduct briefings and increase the number of members on each sub-team. The main team also wanted to emphasize to each member not to run away when they encounter an enemy, even though they are at risk of facing death.“What a shame what Bianca did,” Scott muttered as they walked into the house.Ciara didn’t dare to comment on Scott’s statement because she was just an outsider. She didn’t want to pretend to be the wisest and most meritorious after what she did. What was on her mind right now was the question of what punishment Bianca would receive for neglecting her duties.“I’ll cook,” Scott said, walking into the kitchen.Hearing that made Ciara jump in front of him, stopping his steps. “Stop!” she screamed, stretching her arms to her sides.Scott arched an eyebrow as he looked at her. “Something’s

Scott hasn’t really thought about it. He hadn’t even considered the matter before. All he knew was that every time he saw Ciara, he wanted her. And he knew if he continued his relationship with Hayley, it would close the possibility of being with Ciara.So when Ciara asked Scott to stop caring about her, he had to decide. And he chose Ciara.He chose her over his position as the Alpha of Silvercrest.Scott was just as surprised as Ciara when he said from his own mouth that he would break off the engagement. But he had said it and he had no intention of taking it back.Now his steps led him to Alpha’s house. Hugh was in the study with Gordon. It seemed they were discussing what steps the elders should take to improve the security of the territory. Hugh and Gordon greeted Scott and told him to sit down, but Scott refused.“You seem to be in a hurry,” said Gordon. He glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, “Isn’t training starting in half an hour?”“Yes. But I really do not intend to

A week passed after the attack by the rogues on the border. And nothing happened. Even after Scott gave her the smile in front of everyone and Ciara hoped something would happen between them, Scott did nothing to her.Instead, he acted like he didn’t want to be in the same room with her.Scott greeted Ciara every morning when they accidentally passed each other while leaving the room, or while in the kitchen. But after that, he would leave her and head first to the main base.Scott did look a lot happier than before he broke off his engagement to Hayley, but that was all that had changed in him. Other than that, there’s nothing else.What do you expect, Ciara? Ciara scolded herself, when one morning Scott finished eating breakfast at a speed that would make the Moon Goddess amazed, then left her with the excuse that he had to do morning training with the key team.Scott breaking off engagement with Hayley doesn’t mean he likes you. He could have done that purely because of his awarene
