(Cara's POV)I didn't notice I was crying till the tears dropped down my eyes. The last thing I wanted to do was cry in front of him and confirm all he had said, but it hurt bad that he could say all those things to me and tell me more about how incompetent I was. I didn't fit in; I would never fit in. No matter how much I tried, it would always be a waste of time."What did I ever do to you? Why do you always torment me? I didn't ask for any of this, and you know it. Am I wrong to enjoy my time rather than hate everything about my new life?"He watched me silently; I didn't see the hate in his eyes, making me see that he thought he was being reasonable, and maybe he was, maybe he was right—that pained me the most—the thought that he would be right."I don't hate you; I have no reason to. I know that you didn't want this, so I am not condemning you; I'm just trying to explain to you that it just can't happen- whatever is going on between the both of you, it won't work. I know you are
(Cara's POV)At training, I wasn't exactly focused; Teo noticed it because we weren't making any progress."I think we both need a pause. What is going on, Cara?""I'm sorry, I just have a lot on my mind.""You could share, you know, it makes the burden easier to bear," he says.I thought about it; I couldn't share; I didn't want more trouble than I have."Could you tell me more about Emmaline?" I asked, and he gave me a long stare."Why do you want to know about her? She is not that important to you.""I want to know why everyone thinks she deserves to be Luna in place of me."Teo watched me closely, as if figuring out the unspoken words behind my question. "I don't think she is fit to be Luna.""I just want to know, Teo."He sat on the grass, and I sat beside him."You see Emmaline was born in a wealthy family, they had everything but they always wanted that golden title, none of them got it, so when they gave birth to Emmaline they actually decided that she would have to become a L
(Cara's POV)I woke up to the feeling that something was very, very wrong.I felt hot all over and a strong, blinding pain all over my body, and then I felt the want. I couldn't move; I couldn't move one inch. I was two hours late for training, yet I couldn't move. I heard a knock on the door; I couldn't answer, I didn't want anyone to see me like this and after a few minutes, the door was pushed open, and Teo walked in."What is wrong? Are you sick?" He walked closer to me, placing a hand on my four heads. "God, you are burning up.""Teo," I called, and he looked at me.Had I not noticed how very beautiful Teo was? I wanted him."Let's have sex," I say to him, and he pauses, staring at me like I've lost my mind."What the hell are you saying? Are you alright?""I would be when I have sex with you, dammit, now take off those clothes.""You are trying to prank me," he said, paused, and then inhaled. "Why do you smell like that?""Like what?, appetizing?; you can have me, you know, howe
(Cara's POV) He was right besides me by the time I woke up, showering me with hot kisses, I giggled like a teenage kid, it was like I had finally started living, I once thought I liked Jake, but whatever that was, it wasn't love, maybe it was some kind of desperation that I would be left alone, maybe that's why I sticked to him, maybe because I thought there was no body out there, but the truth was that I was wrong, I never really loved him, not in the kind of way that I feel butterflies in my belly just by his presence but in a kind of way that I was always left satisfied- I let myself think that I was satisified but maybe I was never satisfied, maybe I had always been looking for the one thing missing in my life and now... I just found it, everything that completed me was in my mate Rollins. "Good morning, baby," he whispered to my ears. Since I brought up the term, he just wouldn't let it go."Morning. Did you actually sleep, or were you watching me like a creep all night?""I did
(Teo's POV)The first time I saw her was at the bar. I had so much on my mind that I didn't notice her till she walked up to the Alpha, offering him a lap dance. I thought she was one of the sluts at the bar, but she wasn't dressed like them. Usually the Alpha didn't care about their feelings when he turned down- each and every one of them that came to him, but I was surprised he let her.I remembered when she got scared and wanted to escape him, but he wouldn't let her go, I couldn't blame her for that. Her pleading eyes went to her friend, and that's when I understood what was going on. Her friend made her do this—maybe some kind of dare. I wondered what she wanted to prove; she had been so scared of us all that she left the bar the moment he let her go.Then I got home, and anytime I closed my eyes, I saw her, the girl at the bar. I wondered why she was in my thoughts; I had never seen her before, and little did I know that that was the beginning of something more complex.I wanted
(Cara's POV)I couldn't believe what I did. I kissed him. I kissed Beta Teo. I couldn't stop asking myself why I had done that, why I had kissed him, and why I had said all those things.I felt like I had betrayed Rollins. He gave me everything I wanted; what more did I need? Was I always this ungrateful?Rollins kissed me in the morning; I didn't let him go further than that. It didn't feel right that I had let another man kiss me and then have sex with him the next day; it was unfair."I'll be back late today," Rollins said to me, and I could only nod. "Are you alright?""Yes, Rollins, I am alright."He stared at me longer, as if trying to read the expression on my face, but I gave none."Would you still be going out shopping with May?" He asked. I had told May that I would come along, but that was before Lucian told me all that stuff. Now, I didn't want to be anywhere near him and they were mates, it might feel a bit strange."I am not sure yet," I answered."You should; you know y
(Cara's POV)Someone had broken into Jake's house and chopped off his fingers.I remembered telling Rollins about Jake, and he wanted to hurt him. I begged him not to, and he agreed, but I always thought it was strange how quickly he agreed with me. That was only because he didn't see any use in arguing; he had already made up his mind.Rollins had done this. I had no proof, but I just knew.How could he do this? In the human world, 'partners' cheating isn't rare, but that doesn't mean he would go avenging me, chopping people's hands. Did he have no idea that Jake would remain that way for the rest of his life?Finally, what Lucian had said was sinking in. He was far more dangerous than I thought, far more dangerous than I could even imagine- he told me but I didn't believe him. I sat lost in thoughts. The question bothering me was: what would he do to me when he discovered what happened between me and Teo? What would he do to me if I ever broke his heart? Would he chop off my hands
(Cara's POV)It was my first pratical fighting session with Teo, and he finally thought I was ready.I couldn't help but feel very nervous. I pushed everything else from my mind, focusing on what was before me. Teo.He didn't come at me first; he waited patiently, and when he made no advances, I went at him first. I gave the first strike, and he swiftly dodged, returning the hit, and I dodged too, almost as fast as he did. He looked surprised. My improvement over the last few weeks was mind-blowing, according to him.I went for the next strike, and this time it hit him. Taking that grand opportunity, I threw more blows at him, and he managed to dodge some. I was so focused on giving out more blows that I didn't notice his legs; they moved so quickly, and in the next minute I was on the floor."Do you give up?" he asked. His attention wasn't on my hands anymore, but on my face. I used his momentary distraction."Never," I say, my hands gathering the sand from the bare ground, and befor
