Chapter 45 "How was training?" I ask her and her smile brightens. "Good! I was actually challenged in it and learned a few moves." She says, I nod and smile back. "Good. I am glad that you like it." I say and the door bursts open. I look over to see a giddy Amara buzzing with excitement. "GOOD! You're both here!" She yells. I look over to Maleena and she looks at me. We are both trying not to laugh at the state Amara is in. Her hair is a bit messy and she is bouncing like she has had 10 cups of coffee. "Yes, we are both here. Are you okay?" I ask her. "I am terrific! And you will be too! Let's go!" She says coming over to me and grabbing my hand. She drags me up and down the hall to our old apartment. Maleena is following closely behind us laughing at the way Amara is dragging me. Amara stops in from of the door and looks at me expantly, I guess she wants me to be the first to walk in. I grab the door and open it and walk in. "Oh my goddess. Amara you have outdone yourself." I say as I walk farther in. She has completely remodeled this place. There is a small kitchen to my right with a large island for the table. It is all gray and white with marble tops. The living room matches the kitchen with gray paint and white trimming. The TV is mounted to the wall in a small bookcase and the floor is a gray wood flooring. The couch and loveseat are dark gray leather, but still look plushy. I walk in further and see go to the bedroom we were using before. It is now not in a hallway, but connected to the living room. The bedroom is lavender and it has it's own bathroom. I see a desk with books and school supplies. Maleena must have wanted this bedroom. I close the door and go across to the other room. This one is the same size as the other and is painted a light gray, like the rest of the apartment. I walk in and look around. I have my own bathroom that is the same design as the original one here. I see another door and go to look at it. My clothes are already hanging up, but what catched my eye was another door. I look back to see Maleena with a big smile on her face and Amara jumping with excitement. "Open it." Amara says, clapping her hands. I look closer at the door and see that you need a code for it. I look back at them questioningly. "It's my birthday." Maleena mindlinks me. I go up to it and punch the numbers for her birthday and it unlock. I open the door to see it is set up like a safe room. "Maleena said that you had one in your old pack and wanted to add one here. Do you love it?" Amara asks, squealing the last part. I had a safe room in my old pack, it had my computer in it so that nobody but me could get to it. I smile and look at Maleena who is smiling at me knowingly. "I do. Thank you both for this." I say and Amara runs up and hugs me. "I am so happy you love it! Now we can all hangout here all the time." She says which grabs Fen's attention. "All the time? I don't think so." Fen says which makes me laugh. We walk back out to the living area and I see a stereo sitting in the bookshelf. I go over to it and turn it on. Maleena already has one of the CDs I burned in it. I have different music for different moods, this one is for my dancing mood, it has mostly spanish music on it. I grab Maleena and start to dance with her. Amara joined us after she got over the shock of seeing me dance. We all start dancing and laughing. After a couple songs comes on that I can't help but sing along. After the first minute of being in my head singing and dancing I look over to see a shocked Amara staring at me with her mouth open wide. I laugh at her. "Trying to catch flies?" I ask while still dancing. "You can sing too! What else haven't you told me!" She yells which makes me laugh. I shrug my shoulders and grab her hands and start dancing with her. After another minute I look over and see three figures in the doorway. Alaick, Markus and Garret are standing there watching us. Must have forgotten to close the door when we first came in. I dance my way over to the door and shut it in their faces. I turn around and the girls laugh and we continue to dance and sing. Alarick's POV This past week I have been trying to get closer to LeeAca. After our walk, I thought that we shared a connection, but she hasn't said anything else. We talked about the ceremony and what to do about the marking. I have asked her about the daycare and Breana and Christopher, but her answers are vague. We only have a month left before the ceremony. Right now I am sitting in my office when Garret walks in. Markus follows behind. "Garret, your back. What is the status?" I ask, getting straight to business. He sighs and takes a seat. Markus follows and sits in the chair next to him. "Well it was the shadow who attacked the man." He says. I wait for him to elaborate, while my anger starts to bubble. "The man was a pack warrior. He was running patrol when he caught the scent of a rogue. He followed her and found that she had stolen a blanket from one of the clotheslines. He confronted the woman and demanded she give the blanket back. When she refused he attacked her. The shadow came into the picture when he was about to rape the woman. The shadow attacked him, cutting a part of his pen*is off, and carved an R on his forehead, then a 'R*pist' on his back. The warrior was left there to die. All he remembers about the shadow is the neon green eyes and the demonic voice that rang in his head." He says and I sigh. Another attack. I don't know what to do with this situation. It has been going on for four years and we still have nothing on this guy. "Was there anything else?" I ask, already knowing the answer. "No. I tried to look around for the rogue she wolf, but she disappeared." He says. "I am getting sick of this monster running around playing hero. He isn't a hero, he is a sadistic monster who likes to kill people." I say, but even I know that apart of me admires this man for what he is able to do. It seems that he can mindlink anybody, and that he has the gift of weaponry. That gift has never been heard of, so when we found out it was surprising. Even though he is helping people he needs to be brought to justice for the crimes he has committed. He isn't above the law. "Look, Alarick. We have been chasing a shadow of a man for four years. Do you really think we will be able to catch him?" Markus asks me, making me sigh. No I don't, but I won't tell them that. "He will slip up one of these days." I say trying to convince them and myself that this man will be known eventually. I hear music blasting above us and look at Markus and Garret in confusion. Nobody ever plays music this loud. I get up to follow the sound and Markus and Garret follow me, curious as to where this is coming from. We walk upstairs and see a door open. It is LeeAca's apartment, the renovation must be done. We walk over to it and see the girls dancing and LeeAca singing. I stare at her and the way her body moves does something to me. Her voice is beautiful and the way her eyes are shining in happiness makes me happy. The guys and I just stand there watching, enjoying the show from LeeAca. She is beautiful. Although she is wearing leggings and a sweatshirt she is still gorgeous and my c*ck twitches with thoughts of what she could do to it. She looks up and sees us then continues dancing towards the door and shuts it. We stand there for another minute registering what just happened. "I have never seen her act like this." Markus says, taking a step back. Onin growls in my head, jealous of the way Markus seems to know her. "Looks like you don't know her as well as you think you do." I say back. Trying to hide the jealousy and make it more jokingly. "I guess I don't." He says kind of pouting. I look over to Garret and see him smiling at our interaction. I roll my eyes and head back to my office, adjusting myself and hoping that the guys don't see. In Addicted to You movie, Audrey's biggest regret?
