The Werewolf Academy 215
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

"Soon we will enter my territory."Gabriel's words made me open my eyes again. Outside the window of his car the sky had turned dark, unfortunately it was drizzling to greet us.Just like other Pack territories, the Silver Moon Pack is also close to a fairly large forest area. I guess one of the main requirements for a Pack's territory is to have access close enough to the forest. Of course that makes sense, werewolves need sufficient area for them to run freely when they are in their wolf form.Too bad Leykan hardly ever transformed into her wolf form in their entire life. I want to feel what it's like to run really fast, hurtle through the trees and feel the wind in my face."Before I take you to meet Alex I have to discuss something with you ... Do you mind?"Gabriel's question broke my reverie. I turned to him with a questioning look. From his question just now it seems like he wants to talk somewhere else before we meet Alex. "We can't talk about it now?"Did he think I would agr

I was still standing frozen in place with my amazed gaze while Gabriel walked over to his little brother who had just come down from the stairs.Her hair ... Cameron Adler has shoulder length, snow-white hair. I've never seen hair that white in my life ... And her hair looks so natural, not like it's been dyed or bleached."Have you eaten?" asked his sister in a low voice.Gabriel shook his head and smiled at his sister. And he didn't show his fake friendly smile like before, but actually smiled warmly at his sister.My gaze returned to Cameron Adler who was still talking to his brother in a low voice. Not only did her snow white hair stand out from her, her beautiful face and her two semi-amber green eyes made it even more difficult for me to take my eyes off of her.How could Edward Adler feel ashamed to have such a beautiful daughter? I thought half in disbelief. I heard he tried to hide Cameron Adler from the public by locking him in the house.He suddenly glanced at me briefly be

The sound of glass hitting the floor and then shattering was very loud in the midst of this momentary silence."Cara," Alex called my name again in a hoarse voice. Her face turned pale, I could see the glint of guilt in her brown eyes. His tall body froze just like me, but a moment later his shoulders shook so faintly that the towel on one shoulder slid to the floor.No.It must be a joke."You are ... Cameron's mate?" I whispered in a tight voice. So this sickening smell I smell all over the house is Cameron and Alex's mate ... I can't smell Alex's scent that I usually recognize because it has changed now."Urgh ... " My hands darted to cover my mouth, suddenly the smell of their mate made my stomach very nauseous. It felt like my lunch was starting to slide down my throat again."Cara, please, you must hear my explanation." Alex's hoarse voice sounded closer.Slightly staggered I stood up from the couch and walked away from him.What happened? I thought over the painful throbbing in

It turns out that I'm still the same Caroline as before, in the end I can only run from all my problems.Coward Caroline.But who am I really? My steps slowed as that question popped up in my head. Am I Caroline Brennan or Gabriella Gold? Who am I? Wherever I go I feel like I have no place to return to.I've dropped the name Gabrielle Gold.And now I can't go back to the Brennans. I wasn't sure I could see Alex's face again without breaking down. My entire life as Caroline Brennan has been centered around Alex and this pseudo mate bond.Once this fragile bond is broken, I have no place to return to ... I have no reason to return to Alex.Seeing and feeling Alex and Cameron's mate bond directly made me realize that what I believed in and tried to achieve all this time was only a false hope.What's between me and Alex is different from what a real mate has. Different from what I saw and felt from Zaya and Val's bond, from Alpha Sam and Chloe, and even from my parents.A drop of hot tear
