The Werewolf Academy 196
Well, we did sneak up to meet tonight.More precisely, it was Alex who came to my room. Around two o'clock in the evening after the castle turned quiet, a light knock sounded from my bedroom door and then a male silhouette walked into my room.My eyes blinked at him closing the door tightly and then stepping to the side of my bed. "What is it?" I asked in a hoarse voice as I lifted my body and sat on my bed. Alex touched my face with his big warm hand, I closed my eyes again because I was still very sleepy while enjoying the comfort of his hand.The sound of his breathing was loud enough in the silence of my room. Outside the heavy rain had stopped, leaving only a light drizzle. "Cara, after all this is over ... I want you to come home soon." Alex's deep voice sounded a little fragile that made me open my eyes again and look at him. I think I'm still very sleepy because in the dim light of my room I can see a glint from Alex's slightly glossy eyes, like someone who's about to cry."Go

The offer sounded both crazy and tempting enough that I thought about it for a few seconds in my head. But I've spent most of my life on the run. I also don't want Alex to leave his Pack life and our family just to run off with me."You're still drunk," I muttered, pulling the corners of my lips down. Alex smiled lazily again and kissed my lips briefly before collapsing next to me with his eyes closed. The silence returned to my room until I thought he was asleep. But when I turned my body to look at him, his brown eyes stared back at me in the dim light of my room.My gaze traced the straight, defined features of his face, then the dark beard that covered his usually clean jawline. This past month must have felt like hell for Alex. Every time I remember what He has sacrificed for me so far it makes my chest feel tight."I love you" I whispered suddenly without being able to stop. Mate or not I will still love him until the end of my life, that realization just appeared in me. To hell

"You said your Leykan power was still very sensitive and depended on the emotions you were feeling" he continued in a low, gentle voice. "And my touch still seems to be having an effect on the strokes and marks at the base of your neck."This is the second time I've asked him to sleep with me, and the second time Alex has rejected me. "Oh ... " I mumbled a little shy and awkward. "Of course. You're right.""Hey, Cara ... " His hand tugged my chin so I could look back at him. He looked at me intently with seriousness. "Trust me, I'm not saying it because I don't want you." He cleared his throat slightly to get rid of the rough hint of hoarseness in his voice before continuing. "I just don't want to make the scar on your neck worse right now, after all we sacrificed to make the scratch and bruise fade."The base of my neck still throbs when we're close together, but not as badly as before."Well, what can I do." I replied with a sigh. "But why do I feel like all of this feels unfair to

Alex actually left his black sedan in the castle parking lot for me. I don't know why he gave me his car, even though I haven't been allowed to go anywhere alone.I walked to the parking area, approached the black car and tried to open the passenger door. But locked.After a few seconds, a short horn sounded from the car in front of me, indicating that the car key had just been remotely opened. I looked behind me and saw Balthazar who was walking slowly towards me with Alex's car keys and remote in his hand.I opened the passenger door of the car then took a duffel bag from it and opened it."Why did he give you his clothes?" asked Balthazar in a surprised voice. He was standing behind me while also looking into the bag left by Alex.I smiled to myself as I looked at some of Alex's loose hoodies, jackets and t-shirts inside. The marks on my neck have almost completely faded, and so has Alex's scent on my body which has faded with time. Damn ... It turns out that werewolves aren't all

The meeting with Dimitri went by quicker than I expected. Two hours only feels like thirty minutes to me. Even though all we talked about was trivial matters from the books in Balthazar's library to his newly planted tulip garden.But on second thought, it turns out we were only chatting about Balthazar ...As he had agreed with Balthazar earlier, Dimitri returned home after the two hours were over. He politely said goodbye, he even managed to ignore Balthazar's sarcastic remarks who told him tobring cake for him again at the next meeting.We watched him walk toward the forest until his towering body disappeared between the rows of dense trees. For a while Balthazar and I stood in the courtyard of his castle in silence until he finally opened his mouth again."What do you think?" he asked in a low voice."Very strange."He nodded in agreement and then stared at the forest with narrowed eyes. "Very, very strange. What were you two talking about earlier?""You" I replied simply. For now

Our first destination this afternoon is an electronics store because I need a laptop and portable wifi. Balthazar didn't bat an eye while paying for my groceries, as if he had just bought me candy instead of a very expensive laptop. Even though I already felt bad for asking him to pay for something that was quite expensive.Maybe for him the value of the laptop I just bought was nothing.It rained quite heavily when we had dinner at a restaurant that was quite luxurious and quiet. For this one, Balthazar himself chose his place. I think he's been to this place with Alpha Sam before. Visitors who come are welcome to choose where to have dinner in a private booth or in a more open bar area. Of course Balthazar chose the first option.A waiter guides us to one of the elegant booths surrounded by carved wooden partitions. Dim lights add to the elegant and warm atmosphere in this room. I took a seat across from Balthazar and then opened my jacket while he himself was looking at the menu bo

My question hung in the air for a few moments."Did Viktor leak that information?" asked Balthazar angrily. I can almost feel Leykan's aura and power even if it's very faint."We don't know yet" Val replied. "The first thing Sam did after receiving the request for a visit tonight was tell me to pick you up.""Isn't that pretty dangerous?" reprimanded Balthazar slightly curtly. "Right now Sam and Pack Yellowstone are being suspected by other Packs. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the werewolves from the Pack was stalking you, especially since you're a BetaPack Yellowstone."I looked at Val with a surprised look, I didn't know that he was a Yellowstone Beta pack. The Hummer we were driving shot through the quieter streets of Portland."Even if someone was stalking me, by now they would have lost track of me. I've been looking for you two hours ago, then changed cars with other pack members several times." Val kept looking straight ahead while talking to us. The tense atmosphere envel

Zaya stepped closer to me and gave me a hug. Even though he was smiling, I could see the worry on his face."Thanks for helping us, Zaya." I turned to Balthazar who was talking in a low voice with Val."Of course." Zaya put an arm around my shoulder and then took me into the house he shared with Val. "Don't worry Cara. You can stay with us until things cool down outside.""Have you heard about my ... situation?" I asked after sitting down on the long dark gray sofa. The interior of the house looks rather masculine with an industrial theme dominated by metal ornaments and red brick walls.Zaya sat down next to me before nodding. "Val told me about it after we met that night. Pardon my question then, Cara, I don't know about Alpha Brennan's real situation.""Oh, what are you apologizing for" I replied, laughing. "Have you and Val ... ?""Becoming a mate? Yeah!" Zaya's face turns bright with happiness. Her blonde hair looked longer than before, one hand moved to tuck a strand of hair beh
