We walked back to the hotel and I thanked him for dinner. James soon went up the stairs to his room and I to mine without another word. I went in, put my backpack on the side of the bed, and took off my clothes, throwing myself on the bed and staying there until I fell asleep.I woke up to a light noise coming from the window. I looked up and was surprised to see rain first thing in the morning. For the first time, I stood there in bed just watching. The weather was dark and at least I wasn't going to work. I turned to the side and stretched. On the one hand I would miss getting up, getting ready and going to the cafeteria, because at least I would be busy with something. But on the other hand, I was also grateful. I wouldn't be in so much danger being stuck here.Nothing better than sleeping listening to the rain at the window. James must be awake at this hour and cursing himself for having to go to work.I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. I woke up two hours later with
" Are you sure Jake? " I asked confused." I do. We're closing early today. " I said to myself, to Maxwell, and to Scarlet.We were all looking at each other confused and not knowing what was going on. Jake had arrived at the cafeteria and told us that it was closing early. I decided not to question it and to go and change. Jake paid us half price for the service and dismissed us as soon as the last customer had left.I went out a little after lunchtime and the sky was still falling. The torrential rain was washing the streets and creating some small puddles on the sidewalk.Maybe Sarah and I could go jogging today. We could go somewhere further away from here. A safe place for her.I packed my coat and as soon as I left the cafeteria, I felt a man walk past me to enter." We are closed, sir. " I warned." I know. " I felt a shiver run down my spine and saw the man enter without even seeing his face.I shrugged and walked back to the hotel. I stopped by a convenience store
When I arrived at the hotel, I saw Oliver looking at me from the front desk with a curious face. I took off my glasses and cap in a long sigh before closing the umbrella. " James had come out after you to look for you. " He soon spoke up. " He asked about you before he left." Of course you asked. " He found me. " I tried to give my best smile and kept walking. " Thank you. " He gave another smile. I'm glad he didn't ask about him. I climbed the stairs, made my way to my room, and went inside, closing it immediately afterwards. I put the umbrella by the window and dropped my backpack on the floor next to the bed. I put my hat and glasses on top of the nightstand and sighed again as I threw myself on the bed. "I feel like I've known you for a long time Sarah. I know you can feel it too." His words came back in my head and I didn't understand what it all meant. Suddenly I heard three knocks on the door. I looked toward it and sniffed the air to try to smell it. The faint f
I woke up as fast as I slept. I felt something poking my nose and opened my eyes. The faint smell of lilies mixed with her soft perfume numbed me. The coppery strands of her hair were on my face so I pulled away a little. Only then did I realize that I was almost on top of her. I carefully removed my arm from her body and my leg from hers.How come she hasn't woken up yet with my weight crushing her?Who has seen you and who sees you James... The last time I had such a female in my bed, things were different.I stretched and got up slowly. I looked at Sarah and realized that maybe it would be a while before she woke up, because it was still early. The weather was still gray and it was still drizzling. I went to the bathroom to pee, brushed my teeth and splashed some water on my face. When I finished, I went to find a shirt among the others that were messy on the shelf. I put on a long sleeve shirt and felt my stomach rumble. I was starving. I didn't know if I should wait for Sarah to
" And where are we going? " I asked and looked at James. " Well, the first time I ran here, it was in a forest further away, almost out of the pack territory. It's a great place. There would be no reason for the wolves here to run so far away if there are forests closer. If they run today. " He concluded. " Got it. " " We will have to take a bus and get off at a stop outside the city. It will only take a few minutes. " " What a complication... " " No, it'll be fun, you'll see. " He smiled. We proceeded to the nearest bus stop and took the bus that went to the neighboring city. The bus we took was almost empty, so it was not a problem. We got off at one of the roadside stops just like James said. And just behind the bus stop, there was a small trail leading between the trees. I followed James in the rain and couldn't wait to get there soon. After about five minutes of walking, we arrived at what looked like a small shack where there was a water pump. " It's okay, no one's com
I growled and moved into position. Sarah was right behind me, but I soon felt the air change. I knew she couldn't hold her dominance for long after seeing a wolf challenge us. It was the same way as when she first saw me, but now she seemed to be able to hold her anger a little.The wolf began to walk toward me slowly. Its paws sinking into the puddles, its head bowed as it growled harshly. Probably trying to find a perfect moment to attack or prolong the moment until the others arrived. He wants to challenge me. I can't stay here with Sarah for long.I growled and stared at him with the same intensity. I knew that Sarah was watching our surroundings because she remained silent.The gray wolf was a little smaller than me. I could just as well blow him away and still dominate him, but someone next to me wanted to do the same and I couldn't let him. I heard Sarah's heavy breathing and looked at her. The she-wolf was heading in his direction as well, but before she could get past me, I s
He looked around, seemed to observe the situation carefully, and when he saw some of his injured wolves, he stared at James immobilized by his more dominant wolves. Then he laid his eyes on me. Those orbs were so red and wild that they could frighten anyone in my place. I had never seen a wolf with eyes that color before. And that... that was not of this earth. I felt my breathing become heavy and my body tense up like it had never been before. But I still managed to bar my teeth at him and face him with hostility. James was closer to him than I was. It must have been hell. I looked at the lone man, who looked back at me worriedly. He was all bruised up, but he was still trying to get loose. He was shaking his head at me, but I didn't know what he meant by that. He growled and let out air through his nostrils and tried once more to bite the wolf beside him, but he couldn't loosen his grip. Alpha began to transform, and I lost the air in my lungs at his human form. He was tall, had
JamesSarah finally decided to do as I said and ran like never before through the forest. The she-wolf took off like a coppery bolt of lightning without even looking back. And I was much more relieved now. Because luckily she was fast enough to lose them. As for me, what they were going to do now didn't matter. I had been through this before. Not with a sizeable pack like this, but I already knew how things would work out. And Sarah was still their major focus. I would just be an unexpected tool for them to find her. And they would probably do some pretty nasty things to get me to open my mouth."Take him away." The damned Alpha said. "I'm going after her." I saw a damn smile appear on his face."You won't be able to catch her, you know that, right?" I said. The more I roll him, the farther away Sarah will be.He looked at me and his smile disappeared."You don't know me, loner." It turned and transformed without even giving me time to say anything else. Skin tearing and reforming int
