Alex pulled his hand away from my neck instantly as if his hand had just touched a hot pot. I reflexively turned to him. He was looking at Balthazar with a stiff expression of astonishment."Killing Cara slowly?" he said in a hoarse voice. His face paled slightly but Alex forced himself to look calm. I know because my eyes accidentally saw his hands that were tightly clenched into fists."Well, very slowly" corrected Balthazar, his voice not too sure. "What is clear is that it was your mark that triggered this anomaly.""Earlier everything was fine," said Alex, still hoarse. "My marks are faded but everything is fine."Balthazar sighed softly."Before Caroline's body was in her human mode because of my seal, now she has returned to being Leykan completely.""But my parents who are mixed werewolves and Leykan never had this kind of problem, I'm sure my werewolf father must have given his mark to my mother when they were still together." Suddenly Vincent spoke from the sofa next to us.

We walked through the passage on the third floor. Alex's face still looks dark but he's been holding my hand since we left the library. "He became even more annoying after returning to his original form, muttered Alex curtly.I smiled when I heard it. At first I thought so too, but now that I think about it,Balthazar had been arrogant from the start. His attitude hasn't changed at all. It's just that we don't find him too annoying when he's still in his teenage body, in fact sometimes I feel he's cute when he's being arrogant. But now that his body had returned to its original state, that arrogant demeanor had gone from cute to annoying. "Do you want to chat outside?"Alex'squestion broke my mind. For a few moments I thought as I walked down the stairs with him. "Are you coming to my room?" I offered when we reached the second floor.Alex looked a little surprised but gave a curt nod without the slightest hesitation. I smiled back at him then pulled his hand that was holding mine, he

I don't know how long I lay on this cold bathroom floor. My silent sobbing had stopped a while ago and was replaced with an empty feeling.Balthazar knocked on my bathroom door at a glance, I knew because I could hear his footsteps and smell him distinctly as he stood at the door. A few moments later the bathroom door opened and Balthazar came inside."Are you all right, Caroline?" he asked in a calm voice.'I guess," he muttered briefly. Alex was gone,Iknow because my super sensitive new ears can hear it too."Have you calmed down yet?" he asked again.I nodded on the floor without looking at him. After a few seconds, I was able to move my body again. I wanted to curl up on the cold bathroom floor hugging myself but since Balthazar was waiting for me I finally stood up and looked at him."Is Alex okay?" I asked darkly."Brennan is an Alpha, that just now was nothing to him.""What happened?" I asked frantically.Balthazar returned me with a sympathetic look. "It seems you feel very s

"Vincent"bI Muttered after a moment. "Is what Balthazar said true? It was my mother - my mother who instigated the massacre and the extinction of the Leykan people?"Vincent didn't answer me right away. He cut each meat sandwich in half and arranged them on a plate. Then he cleared the rest of the food on the counter and returned it to the refrigerator."Vincent."He took a deep breath and looked at me with his gray eyes. She combed her curly chestnut brown hair with one hand and sighed. "I can't blame your mother completely like Balthazar ... Your mother, she is a very ... ""Ambitious?" I continued as He looked doubtful. Vincent nodded curtly."Elizabeth was ambitious and revolutionary. She just got stuck and met the wrong people- Or too right? Depends on how you look at it," he said. He took the large bowl of salad in front of me and divided it into three small plates."Your father is the right person because he can make your mother's wish come true, both of them have the same big

"Are they still letting you investigate?" I asked worriedly because Vincent was from the Night Walker Pack too.'Of course. My presence or absence is not a problem for the investigation. The problem is ... " Vincent looked doubtful then gritted his teeth again.'What?" I insisted impatiently.Vincent exhaled loudly. "Edward Adler died the same night your seal was broken. No one has been able to confirm Alex's whereabouts that night, and Alex hasn't bothered to answer because ... " He looked at me with an expression of sympathy.Because I.Alex couldn't tell me where he was going that night because if he told the truth then I would be involved too. And I may not be present to provide my statement with my current condition. I put my sandwich back on the plate because my appetite was gone. A feeling of anxiety welled up inside me."It looks like all of this was planned ... " Vincent continued. "Because everything is too ... coincidental.""Then what will happen next? How did Edward Adler

The next day Alex didn't come to visit me, but he did call me in the morning. Of course I already knew the reason, but Vincent asked me to feign ignorance so Alex could focus on the issues with the current Silver Moon pack. So in short, right now me and Alex both pretended not to know.My day is still going on as usual withBalthazar. I'm still practicing controlling my power and breaking free from the shackles of Balthazar's power. It's just that my routine is now burdened with my worry for Alex.If only my seal hadn't been broken ... I could testify to clear Alex's name. But on second thought, none of this would have happened if my seal hadn't been broken. Whoever framed Alex must have been waiting for that night to kill Adler."Balthazar ... Can't you testify for Alex? You also saw Alex's wolf that night when I came here right?" I asked as we planted the edge of this wide lake with purple tulips after breakfast. I can't concentrate on doing my job, the peaceful life with Balthazar

Drops of water fell down my face. My whole body feels wet. My bewildered eyes scanned the dark sky above me.I'm outside, I thought. But I couldn't move my whole body at all. The sound of raindrops falling on the leaves and plants around me was soothing, but I didn't feel at all calm.I frantically tried to raise my head but to no avail. The raindrops that fell into my eyes made me have to close them for a while while blinking because they were a little sore.Where is this? I thought worriedly. I'm sure I'm in the forest right now, but why can't I move my body at all-I blinked again when I realized it."Balthazar?" call me timidly.I didn't hear anything but raindrops around me. Then after a few minutes I heard the sound of heavy breathing followed by a very familiar voice."Are you awake?"My relief immediately made my body feel weak. "What happened? Why did I wake up in the forest again?""Again?" he repeated angrily. But the anger was not directed at me. Then Balthazar's face appe

Balthazar wasn't kidding when he said we'd be training seriously today. Even before breakfast he had dragged me to the backyard ... to plant his damn tulips.At first I wanted to protest because it's still six in the morning, but seeing his serious face that looked stubborn, I made up my mind. One by one I made holes in the ground."Do you know how I was able to seal your strength for tens of years?" he asked suddenly. I turned to him, but Balthazar was still busy planting."No, how is it?""The same way I paralyze you usually" he explained without looking at me. "Usually I just suppressed your body movements, but when I sealed you I compressed all of your strength into a small ball. The pressure of my power forced your Leykan power to gather in one spot. Because of that your body feels like a human's body.""That's why my power immediately exploded after my seal was broken?""Yes." He moved on to the next hole in the ground. I hastily shoveled dirt in the next hole. "You have to thin
