With my chest pounding, my hand reaches out to turn the knob in front of me. Just now she called me Gabriella, not Caroline. I pushed open one of the library's heavy double doors, only halfway to fit my body inside.When I entered this room it looked darker than that night. Even though it was still early evening ... The four large windows in the room were covered with thick dark blue velvet curtains. The fireplace in the corner of the room lit up and made a faint sound. Apart from that, no other sounds caught my ears.I looked around for Vincent, but I couldn't find him. There was only Daniel Balthazar who was sitting on the sofa bed that I used to live on. A thick book was open in her lap, but her hazel eyes were fixed on me.I was still standing hesitantly in front of the door I just closed. There was no expression that I could read from Balthazar's face at this time, and he just looked at me without saying a word. Over time, his views made me feel uncomfortable with myself.I walke

I felt bad that it was Alpha Sam himself who escorted me back to the Night Walker's territory. Even though it looked like he was busy."Al- Sam, are you sure it's okay to accompany me? Didn't you say you had a meeting?" I asked from beside him. The Jeep we were driving drove fast through the night streets. Turns out Alex wasn't driving this car when he came back earlier, maybe running in his wolf form was a lot faster than using a car.He glanced up at her with a smile before looking back at the street in front of him. "Don't worry, my business is done ... and actually I was chasing a prisoner who was running away. Luckily he hasn't gone too far."I could see the furious expression on his face as he said his last sentence. "Prisoner? Is that ... Zaya my friend?" I asked a little doubtful.His jaw twitched slightly when he heard Zaya's name. I don't know why, but Alpha Sam seems to really hate it."Are you sure he's your friend?" he asked in a low, sharp voice. "That woman has kidnappe

We had dinner with Jake, Reagan, Dane, and some of the other Pack members who were helping in the search for Dimitri. Even Annelise also helped search. Everyone looks tired and somber while eating. Luca and Alpha Sam immediately returned to their territory after the search was over.Of course they were grim, Dimitri had disappeared like a ghost.Alex looked a little tense, but he tried to improve the mood at the dinner table by discussing lighter things. I wasn't hungry at all, so I just swiped the food on my plate with my fork.Because everyone was feeling tired, we immediately rested after dinner. Jake had asked me about meeting with Balthazar, I gave the same answer I gave Alex earlier. But I promise I'll tell you everything tomorrow afternoon."I have to go to my study in a minute to get my jacket," Alex said suddenly. I followed him until we got to the third floor."Alex .. " he croaked.Alex stopped before he reached the door of his study, then he turned to face me with a questi

(POV - Sam Hunt)Bastard squirrel.Growling my gaze followed the last squirrel that managed to escape from me. They don't have a lot of meat and are very hard to catch. Rabbits are so much better than those damn squirrels, rabbits can't climb trees anyway. Just like us. By 'we' I mean me and my wolf.Werewolf.We live in the same body, it's just that my wolf mind is more dominant when it transforms into its natural form ... wolf. When we return to being human, then my mind will dominate our body.Back to the previous problem. Did I say I hate squirrels? Well, my wolf really likes those little squirrels. In fact, squirrels are his favorite animal. Somehow the harder the animal is to catch, my wolf likes it more. Dusk is the best time to hunt, after the last rays of the sun have disappeared and a few minutes before the moon appears in the sky.Wait a minute ... What's this smell? I lifted my snout in the air and sniffed around me. Smoke? Oil ... human blood ... and gasoline? And ... som

(POV - Chloe Miller)"How can a dog get that big?" I asked a bit shocked.In all my years studying veterinary medicine I had never seen a dog that big, I think it was a Siberian Husky but almost 1.5 times the size of an adult Great Dane.The large man, wearing a hospital gown this time, stopped where he was in shock. One hand holds a glass filled with water."Did I just imagine it?" I continued, raising one hand to examine my head.Hallucinations are one of the side effects of a concussion."You'd better have a drink first," he said before holding out the glass in his hand. I received it then drank the cold water from the glass a few sips while trying to organize my thoughts."Ouch!" I screamed as I bent down to set a glass on the bedside table, I think the bruises on some of my ribs were worse than my head because it hurt so much when I bent down."Are you okay?" he asked, grabbing my arms to help me out. "Don't move much as long as the bruise is fresh."This man was probably a nurse
