"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 Werewolf Academy 200
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

"I have to hurry back to Pack's house to meet Sam and the others," Val said to us then he turned to Zaya who was still in his arms, her emerald green eyes softened as they met her dead face. "I will be right back."Zaya nodded her head even though her face looked unwilling. "Be careful, Val."Val kissed her forehead briefly before letting go of the hug. "Of course, honey," he replied with a half smile that made his dark fierce face look even more handsome.'Calum has picked me up at the front, I have to get out before he starts nagging again."Val gave a curt nod to Balthazar and me, then he exited through his front door.Zaya continues to introduce herself to Balthazar, while my attention is now focused on my neck which is still throbbing. I grabbed my glass of juice with slightly shaking hands and drank the rest of it down.'I'll show you your room so you can get some rest soon. I'm sure you must be tired after everything that happened tonight," Zaya offered us.Still holding my gla

"Val is there!" Zaya gasped before turning to look at me with a pale face. "Cara, I think the new place-just exploded is the Yellowstone Pack house."Zaya's voice sounded like a person being strangled. I gazed up at the soaring flames with my heart pounding hard in my chest. "Then we should check it out," I told him.Zaya looked dazed, her vacant eyes contrasting with the look of terror on her face right now. But a few moments later he nodded his approval. We ran inside and were greeted by Balthazar who had just climbed the stairs."What sound is that?" he asked in a strained voice."Explosion. D- At the Yellowstone Pack house" I stammered a bit. "We'll check there" I added before Zaya pulled my hand down the stairs."Checking now?!" shouted Balthazar from behind me."Yes!" My screams echoed off the high ceilings of this house. But the sound of Balthazar's swearing sounded louder than me. I can hear his footsteps behind us.Zaya took the keys to a Hummer parked in the garage of her ho
