The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 1095: Side story: second chance

On Raine's orders, Calleb went to a neighbouring pack to deliver some documents. He didn't need to do this and could ask someone else to carryout such a menial task. But, his Luna insisted that he needed to meet someone outside of their pack.

Or, more specifically, a woman.

Yes, Raine had been trying so hard to help him get rid of Rossie's memories, despite his great pretense of laughing and joking around with the people in their pack, Raine seemed to be able to see through him and knew very well that he was not okay.

D*mn her for being so sensitive to even catch that!

However, at the same time Calleb was also grateful that someone was able to notice this side of him and this kind of feeling, being noticed by someone, comforted him in a way that he couldn't describe. historical

Therefore, here was Calleb, entering the said neighbouring pack to deliver the required documents, a labor work that didn't need the Supreme Beta's involvement in the slightest.

Even Jack didn't have to do this…

Calleb sighed deeply. Raine gave him an advice to go out, but he didn't listen, but he couldn't do that when she went all Luna on him.

That girl could be annoying sometimes and no one would believe that Raine didn't even say a word when they met for the first time. She carried traumas with her and was very quiet…

Yet, look at her now; she was living up to her role as their Supreme Luna and was ruling side by side with Torak very well. Along with that, she was a mother of two children. She surpassed the expectations of everyone who knew her from the beginning.

And Calleb was proud of Raine, as someone who witnessed all the things that she had to endure to become who she was right now.

However, right now, he had another problem that he needed to settle down first.

Calleb shifted into his human skin when he reached the border of the pack and greeted the warriors that were in charge to look after their pack's border safety.

Of course, they knew who Calleb was and he entered the pack easily, without as much as a simple fuss. One of the warriors asked whether he wanted to be accompanied to the pack house or if he wished to go there alone, Calleb chose the latter.

He knew this place like the back of his hand.

It didn't take so long for him to arrive in the pack house, since this pack was not very big and didn't cover so much land, and their population also decreased greatly when the war ended twenty years ago.

Calleb greeted some of the warriors and had a few quick words with them when he entered the pack house, nodding to some women there and grinned when he saw children roaming around on the second floor of the pack house.

It was so lively here. They seemed to have overcame the trauma of the war and the sadness upon losing someone they loved. Or maybe, they were just like Calleb… hiding their true feelings and trying to live the best of their life, while carrying their wounded hearts.

What he felt here was something familiar to him, but when he went to the third floor, where the study room of the Alpha of this pack was, he felt something unusual.

This strange feeling made the supreme Beta frown, and as he went step by step, closer to the study room of Alpha Rodrigo, this weird feeling became stronger.

It just got stronger and stronger…

Like the sound of footsteps that echoed throughout the walls, as if someone was in a rush to go somewhere, or maybe this someone was in a rush to confirm their own feeling as well.

Yet, Calleb was too dumb to realize it in time, since he was in disbelief that such thing could happen to him.

This was impossible, right? Something like this wouldn't happen to him, right?

Yet, a part of him, the very void in his heart, the place where he buried Rossie's memories, was shaken. The feeling was too familiar, but odd at the same time.

However, there was this big part of him that made him realize something before anything else, which was; his beast craved this feeling.

The beast in his head was wailing painfully and howling, urging him to find the source of their restlessness.

As the sounds of the foot steps got closer and closer, Kace could feel the tension in the air getting thicker. He couldn't help but anticipate what would happen in the next second.

His limbs went numb the moment he saw her for the first time. Her big eyes stared at him indisbelief and equal shock that Calleb felt right now.

The Beta was standing in the middle of the staircase, while the woman was on the third floor, staring down at him and tripped on her own feet when she stopped all of a sudden.

Of course, out of instinct, Calleb would stretch out his hands to catch her, but he was not in his fully conscious- self to be able to handle the impact.

Therefore, instead of saving her from the fall, both of them rolled down the stairs with Calleb hugging the woman tightly, afraid she would get hurt.

And that was also the time when Calleb felt the spark between them, the moment he touched her. The spark that he thought he would never feel again.

The feeling was very amazing and couldn't be described in words alone. This was the same feeling that Calleb felt when he met Rossie for the first time, but there was something significant that made it seem very different.

Both of them grunted when they finally stopped rolling down the stairs and ended up sprawled on the floor.

The scent of this woman that he smelled was nothing similar to Rossie's scent, yet it made him feel the feeling that he craved for years.

Especially when the woman smiled and started laughing at their current situation. "Hi, stranger," she said and her voice rang like a melody in his ears.
