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. I bit my lip and tried to close my eyes again.room. From our conversation last night, it seemed that Gabriel Adler had confirmed that I would not be able to refuse his offer.

"I used too much of my strength when I helped put out the fire at PackYellowstone's house last night... Not to mention I had to find someone who ran away all night without telling me," Balthazar said in a low, half growling voice and then preceded us into the hotel lobby.Vincent turned his flabbergasted expression to me then whispered beside me as we both started walking in following Balthazar. "What happened to him?"I shrugged my shoulders briefly."Have you heard from Alex?" I asked after a while.My uncle didn't answer my question right away. His expression turned somber before he finally turned to face me. "Right now Alex is being held in the territory of the Silver Moon Pack."My feet stopped right in the middle of the hotel lobby which was quite quiet. Vincent also stopped walking while looking at me with his gray eyes that looked a little guilty."Caroline—""Since when..." I muttered with a sudden lump in my throat. I clenched my fists tightly at my sides until my fingernai

Vincent was the first to open his mouth, breaking the silence between us."Caroline, can't we talk about it before you decide?"Vincent's request sounds reasonable... but right now I don't have much time.Previously I had the upper hand because I had what Gabriel wanted; Bastien Archer support as well as the Basilisk Pack...But now that I know Alex is being held in the territory of the Silver Moon Pack, my previous confidence is fading fast.I looked into Gabriel's green eyes that were still watching me and shook my head slightly.Gabriel Adler was not an easy opponent."I'll go with him" I repeated in response to Vincent's question. "Don't worry, I can take care of myself."Vincent groaned in annoyance but covered his mouth after Balthazar threw him a sharp glance."Can't I accompany him too?" asked Dad, who had been observing the situation silently all along.Gabriel flashed his friendly smile again toDad and shook his head firmly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Brennan... It's not that I don't

Gabriel was standing with his back to me when I walked into his hotel suite. His gaze seemed to be on the view beyond the window overlooking downtown Portland.From behind his high posture looks relaxed. But when I observed him further I could catch one of his hands which was at his side shaking faintly slightly.Exactly what did He talk to Balthazar just now? I thought a little curious.He slowly turned to look at me and smiled briefly. "Do you mind if I have a quick smoke before we leave?"I shook my head then decided to sit on one of the sofas while Gabriel walked over to the small table by the window and took out his cigarette. Leaning his hips on the table he lit his cigarette and took a deep drag. I can still see his slightly trembling fingers.No matter how hard Gabriel tried to hide it, his body's gestures made it clear that he was shaken. My curiosity almost made me ask him directly about his meeting with Balthazar, but when I saw his blank eyes fixed on the carpet of this ro
