I didn’t hear anything on the other side of her door, but I could tell she was in the room. Her intoxicating scent was already going to my head.
Slowly, and silently, I turned the knob and opened the door. I pushed it just enough for me to squeeze into the room and hurriedly walk to the otherside.
I almost laughed at the look on her face when she stared at the door for a moment. She wasn’t thinking too much of the door though, because she just stood up and walked across the room.
While she was quickly checking the hallway, I grabbed her book and hid it.
It took her a moment, but as she was walking back to sit down she saw that the book was missing, which made her stop dead in her tracks.
“What the? I know I left it right there.” She seemed to be at a loss for a moment.
While she was distracted I took the opportunity to walk past her, really close. While I walked I blew a small stream of air at her and I grinned when I saw her shiver.
“Who’s there?” She asked, but I stayed quiet. This time I walked closer to her, gently tracing two fingers on her arm as I went. I saw her hair move and she jumped to get away from the sensation.
“What’s going on in here?” She looked around nervously. “Is there a ghost in here?”
I couldn’t help it, I chuckled then. But that’s when I learned that my voice would be muffled as well as it came out soft and sounded far away.
“Carter?” She called my name, but it was like she was calling for me, for my help. Not like she was accusing me of being the one in the room. I smiled happily knowing she would want me in her time of need.
She started to back away then, like she was scared. It was time to bring this to a close. I positioned myself behind her and let her bump gently into me. She turned around, a look of wonder in her eyes and just as she opened her mouth I reappeared before her.
I leaned in quickly and kissed her cheek while she stared with wide open eyes.
“Hey babe.” I said playfully as I pulled away.
She didn’t scream, yet, she didn’t yell, yet. No, that would have been expected. What I didn’t expect was the hand that came shooting out of left field, or out of sight of my left eye, as it slammed into the side of my head.
“OW!” I screamed in pain at the same time she started yelling at me.
“DAMMIT CARTER!” She was panting heavily and holding her chest with one hand as she continued to yell at me and beat me with the other hand. “What the hell were you thinking? You could have given me a heart attack. What the hell is the matter with you?”
“Ow, stop it. I’m sorry. Ow, please stop hitting me. Ow.” She kept hitting me over and over as she yelled at me.
“How did you even do that? You scared me half to death.”
It took a long time to calm her down and explain what had happened. By the time it was done, I was covered in bruises. And she wouldn’t even let me kiss her for the rest of the day.

Things passed in a blur again. I had been so scared when Carter went off with the others to visit the Warlocks and rescue the kids. I had known he was granted a special power by Riviana, he had shown me in a not so nice way, but that didn’t mean anything. He could be invisible, not invincible. They didn’t mean the same thing but he didn’t seem to understand that.
The entire time he had been gone I was a nervous wreck. It really made me miss being home. And I wanted to go back and visit my parents when I got the chance.
It turned out that right after they rescued the children, Riviana and Joaquin were leaving for France with all their guards. Noah was staying to run the pack and Carter was staying behind, he didn’t say what for but I had a feeling it was for me.
Things had been hard for Carter’s family and the pack lately. They had to deal with the missing children, the ones kidnapped by Riviana’s father, then they had to heal and recover from Riviana’s miscarriage. I couldn’t believe she had lost the baby. That was something else that made me glad that Carter was staying. People were dying and it was so hard for us all.
We had decided that while Riviana and Joaquin were away we would go visit my family for a while. Daddy would put Carter to work, or so he said. He wanted to train him how to be a man worthy of his daughter or something like that.
The others left at the beginning of April, and we left just two days later. The slight delay was so we could have one last dinner with Eve and Wesley before we left, with just the two of us. Eve was so sweet and kind, I was going to miss her.
But I was glad to be back home. I had missed my mom and dad. I had missed my little sister, and I had missed my brother even though he was a bother. I had missed being here and seeing everyone and everything.
I didn’t think I would miss it all so much after less than a month away, but I guess I loved being with them more than I had thought. Mom and I were going to spend some quality time together while I finally decided on a major for school. And Dad was going to train Carter. What for, I didn’t know. I just hoped we would get some time alone together once in a while.

When I was told that Bryce wanted to train me while we visited their pack I was nervous. He was a hardass when it came to being an Alpha and he was very protective of his daughters. Was he mad at me for having avoided my mate bond in the beginning. Judging by the hell he was going to put me through, I had a feeling he was.
The first thing that Bryce wanted to train me with was combat. I think he said that he wanted to make sure I was strong enough to protect his daughter. I think he just wanted a bunch of his pack mates to kick the shit out of me for taking off on his first daughter. I felt sorry for whoever mated with Katie, she was the youngest daughter after all, the true baby.
I was in the yard with Bryce watching over us. Eight of the Black Canyons warriors were surrounding me. They came at me all at once. It was supposed to teach me how to mob fight I guess. Well, they didn’t know what I could do.
As they rushed toward me I masked myself, scent, sound, and sight. They couldn’t detect me at all. I watched their stunned faces and I proceeded to fight them while invisible.
