I was actually surprised Kyle chose to leave me alone. It was kind of him and, at the same time, infuriating. wanted to hear his voice as he teased and comforted me when I felt down.

He wasn't exactly comforting, but his words would make my situation sound so small compared to how it actually was. "Alright, you can talk now." I started, eyeing him from the corner of my eye. "I am sorry."

Kyle nodded with a dangerous, yet mischievous, glint in his eyes. He wasn't so forgiving of the pack that killed his father. "There are two guards working directly for the Alpha of this pack in this vehicle. They don't seem to like discussions." "Really?" I exclaimed in a loud voice, playing along with Kyle. It was his own way of infuriating the guards.

However, you do not want to see an angry Kyle, because you won't be able to decipher if he was threatening you by joking with you.

"Sh, Naya. You do not want to anger the inspectors." Kyle boomed the last part in a loud manner, causing me to snort. The name 'inspectors' was really stupid. Who calls their wolves 'inspectors'? We were wolves, not some f*kg army. I eyed the rear mirror, where one of them gave me a weary glare. He knew he was in for a long night. The second didn't seem like he was fazed by anything. He was the type that lobed to do their job' no matter the circumstances. "Hey!" I tapped at the man. "Do you work closest to the Alpha? If not, why are you so stiff?"

Kyle burst into loud laughter. "You are so silly." He admonished with a bit of love in it. I felt it somehow. This was how it should be-no tension, except the s**** ones, of course.

Noved this side of Kyle. Despite the negative fact that he poured me pop soda on our first encounter, I couldn't resist the positive fact that his wolf, Shadow, was the first to welcome Naya. It was as if Shadow knew something I didn't. "Oh, he definitely does." Naya chipped in like a small rat.

She has been quiet all day, watching me bicker and smile around.

"What's that?"

Naya sighed before scratching her hind fur. It was not an easy side to reach, so she was trying her best to scratch away. "Look, Naya. Some things are not best said." Her voice held a tinge of sadness.

"Is it the fact that I am an elder? Wait a minute, do they have something on me that I don't know?" I asked Naya, wide-eyed like a child, who shook her head. It was as if she wanted to poke my shiny eyes with her claws. Oh, yes, Naya was irritated by both of us. "Drop the subject and focus on getting out of here. Don't mess with Kyle. He has the brains and muscles to get out of here alive. Not you."

I rolled my eyes at her words. The irony of it all? We didn't have what Kyle had. Don't even talk about Zeke and his charismatic nature. Looking at him now, I was reminded of our night of pleasure. I would do anything to have that night again, right here, right now. "Are you alright?" Kyle's concerned face blocked my view.

He was another dose of pie at my feet. It was apparently close, but not within my reach. He was out of my league and made for people like Brooke. Who was calling right about now?

But he wasn't picking up. 1 don't understand.

"You are not picking up your phone. Isn't that Brooke?"

Kyle blinked, refusing to look at the phone.

"I will call her

later. My question is: are you okay? Your eyes seemed glazed earlier. Were you talking to your wolf?" Zeke's interest was suddenly piqued at his mention of my wolf. "Naya?" He called, and I knew he was asking for my wolf. What the f**k? Their attention to me was a bit overwhelming.

"I am sorry. What is going on?" I frowned at the guards, who had their eyes on me the entire time and not the road.

When they turned back to the road, I noticed we were approaching a place that looked like the pack house.

It was obvious how magnificent it was. "Wow." I pointed at the sheer beauty. There was nothing to be seen after the rows and columns of houses we passed by. But this? This was beautiful.

It was beautiful to me because I haven't seen anything better than this before.

"Wow, they put up the lights too." Kyle said it in a bored tone. "It's almost like a celebration."

"We are going for a meeting, remember?" Zeke spoke slowly, like he was talking to a two-year-old. "We weren't the only ones invited, so get a grip of yourself, Naya." Oh, he was referring to me, as always. I thought he was speaking to Kyle.

But I was the one who was excited, not Kyle, so yeah, it was directed at me.

"Where do they run?"

"On tracks. The two guards answered me. Clearly, they were both eager to show me the wonders of their pack.

"The tracks are soft under the feet and absorb heat. When the heat is absorbed, it makes the ground a bit cold.

Balances all things." One of the guards completed

"It's a beautiful thing."

Huh? Clearly, he hasn't been on our forest floor before. The trees blur as we pass by, the dew drops on our fur and our eagerness to shake it off, the sun filters through the leaves, offering whatever balance they are talking about. "Is it?" I asked gently. Why did Renée leave these 'beautiful things' to come to our pack? It seemed like everything was artificial to me. No wolf would like it.

Everything should be of nature. Everything should be about...

"I don't feel good, Naya." I whispered to my wolf. It happened this morning. I was thinking about stuff like this, and my body began to feel numb.

"I don't feel good either. If only we had a chance to talk to Elder Rosalie. Rest assured, this silly excuse for suicide will come to an end in three days."

Three days? I groaned to the heavens. Both guards seemed to be lost in thought because I asked a single question about whether it was really as beautiful as they thought it was.

"Tell me, have you ever left the pack?"

"It's forbidden." One of them snapped.

That earned me angry glares from Zeke and Kyle. They didn't like where this question was going, but something in me wanted to continue the conversation. I was determined to make them see a world better than this.

"It should not be forbidden." I slowly said, although I felt my body grow numb and my eyes a bit dizzy. I dropped my head on Kyle's broad shoulders. "I don't feel so good, Kyle."

He was on me in an instant. It made me wonder if we were truly friends. "What's wrong?"

Zeke placed his rough, wide palms on my head. It was warm and comforting. "You are hot; stop talking."

I shook my head. "Everyone deserves to live just fine, free from confinement. I feel that you are confined and that you want out. I should release your wolf into the world." By now, I was saying gibberish because I couldn't think! Each time I wanted to think, it mixed into jellies.

"I don't think she is aware of what she is saying. We need to calm her down."

"Elder Rosalie.

. I tried to stop them from talking so that

they would hear me. It was as if I was drunk all over again.

But this time it wasn't with wine. It was something I could place my hands on. There was a source around here that I was tapping into.

"Stop the car!" Zeke thundered in anger.

"I can't until we get to the house. Alpha's orders." The first guard replied like nothing was happening. It seemed at that moment they didn't mind their own thoughts.

I sighed, knowing why he would not follow Zeke's order.

"Leave him, Zeke. He has been given an order with a hint of the Alpha's power infused in it. You can't stop him because you are not his Alpha."

Kyle had an amused smile on his face. "And how did you know about all of these?" He seemed so handsome. His jaw lines were so clean and sharp that they could cut into anything. His eyes were more colorful than usual.

"You are pretty." I dropped my head into his chest again, moving it from side to side so that I would drown in his scent.

"I think she is either in heat or something else. Her hair is beginning to glow purple. They are almost covering her hair." Zeke whispered to Kyle, despite knowing wolves had supernatural hearing. He was wise enough not to reveal my powers yet.
