"Dad?" I whispered, hardly believing my father was actually in front of me at this moment. My father looked tired to the point that his handsome face, which was similar to Alex's, looked older than usual. "What- What are you doing here?""Quickly get in the car" my father repeated with a strained expression. Without wasting time I walked around his sedan and opened the passenger door next to him."No, don't sit up front honey. I don't want you to be seen" my dad said before I could go inside. I closed the front door of Dad's car again, then opened the rear passenger door and got in.As soon as my hand closed the door, Dad immediately drove his car into the middle of Portland's fairly quiet streets. In the darkness of this car I was still staring at my father with a confused look. From the backseat I could only see part of the silhouette of his slightly shadowed face.Dad's stiff jaw was adorned by his rough beard, while his sharp eyes were fixed on the road in front of him. I haven't

"Cara, none of this is what you think," my father said in a hoarse voice full of sadness. "At this time only Alpha Adler can help you and Alex.""It's okay, Dad," I replied, repeating what I had said before. "I understand. Don't worry." My little smile felt stiff on my face, I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye while Dad still looked at me with the same eyes.The tips of my fingers have started to feel tingling, if I'm not careful to control my feelings and emotions right now, my Leykan power will appear without my control. Maybe Gabriel Adler had already found out about my identity from his father, but right now the scent that wafted from me was still that of an ordinary human.As long as He doesn't have direct evidence of my Leykan power, I guess I can still hide behind my human impression."But I want us to talk privately" I added when he didn't reply to my previous words. "My dad looks exhausted." I folded my jacket and looked up at him again."Of course, wait a moment." Gabri

I can't move from the soft sofa in this expensive hotel room. My body stiffened while my gaze was still fixed on Gabriel Adler who slowly started to smile."You already know it wasn't Alex who killed your father ... " I whispered in a very low voice."Sorry if I let you down, but I'm not as stupid as you think," he replied casually and then he folded his arms again in front of his chest.My forehead furrowed deeply, half angry and half confused. "Are you forcing Alex to get back at him? Because he's been feuding with your father all this time?? I continued bolder. My anger is gradually returning even though I'm still trying to restrain myself too."No. Of course not ... The matter of my father being taken to death with him to his grave. Right now I am representing myself, not my father. Once this matter is over, I will also plan a new, more profitable relationship with Pack Night Walker and Alpha in the future." Alex Brennan."There was neither hesitation nor concealment in Gabriel's

Gabriel's eyes slightly lit up when he heard my accusation. Shaking his head he answered me. "What makes you think like that, Cara?"My jaw twitched in anger, but I still tried to restrain myself so that my Leykan power wouldn't be detected by him. "It seems you are someone who cares deeply about your image. Surely catching your father's killer wrong and then detaining an innocent person would tarnish the reputation you have worked so hard to build."Gabriel laughed, whether he was laughing to cover up his true feelings or he was genuinely amused. "Then it seems my reputation must look pretty bad in your eyes right now.""I don't want to joke," I muttered curtly.He cleared his throat and smiled again. "Sorry, I was really rude. But it seems you underestimate me, Cara. Don't you believe my promise as an Alpha?""How can I trust you? You did say you wanted to negotiate but right now you're leaving me no choice but to accept the offer" I quipped in a low, sharp voice.His smile faded a

"Are you sure?" asked my father once again.I looked into his tired and worried brown eyes, with the same relaxed smile I took my father's arm and pulled him toward the exit of Gabriel Adler's hotel suite. We walked hand in hand while the two werewolves standing by the door of this suite opened it."Is Mum in this hotel too, Dad?" I asked as we stepped down the luxurious red carpeted hallway. My father nodded, his worried gaze still fixed on me. And there was a foreign expression that had been clearly visible in his tired eyes.father's arm and pulled him toward the exit of Gabriel Adler's hotel suite.

We gathered in the castle's kitchen which is attached to the dining room. Only Mum's amazed voice while observing every detail of this place has been heard since we entered the castle. Dad was silent as he followed behind us.I decided to make three cups of hot chocolate to wait for Balthazar to return. We chatted about light things, mostly dominated by the topic of the castle's interior and exterior because it seemed my mother couldn't stop being amazed by this castle.He said this place looked like a princess castle from a fairy tale book he had read as a child.I agree with him. This place also looks like a Disney Princess castle to me, unfortunately nowadays it's a grumpy old man living in a castle as beautiful as this.But I'm relieved Mum wants to talk about the beauty of this castle, because right now I want to avoid saying too much and then accidentally passing on top-secret information about Balthazar without her permission.It was half past three in the morning when my paren

I put a sullen face when I heard his threat."Please listen to my explanation first."Balthazar nodded his head in a stiff motion."I have to get away from that place because I met Alpha Silver Moon. Balthazar, he showed up at Pack Yellowstone's house tonight too ... and he already knows that I'm hiding in Val's house with you. Gabriel Adler already knows all about me," I explained to him.His thick black eyebrows furrowed deeper, while his jaw was still twitching furiously. "Wait, tell me everything from the beginning. Everything. The incident. The details, Caroline."I started to recount everything that happened tonight, from the first car explosion to when I had to save that little boy, then to the second explosion that made me meet Gabriel Adler by accident. Balthazar's face darkened even more as I told him about my brief escape which eventually led to my second encounter with Gabriel at his hotel."Your father ... handed you over to him?"Balthazar's voice turned increasingly fie

As Balthazar had said earlier, my mother accepted the offer to stay at this castle with pleasure. Dad on the other hand was silent with a faint suspicious look in his eyes.For who knows how many minutes I just lay on my bed staring at the dark ceiling of my room. From our conversation last night, it seemed that Gabriel Adler had confirmed that I would not be able to refuse his offer.Apart from risking his reputation as anAlpha and the reputation of the Silver Moon Pack, Gabriel was also betting Alex's fate on this deal.He had known my weakness from the start.
