When Life Changes

71. "There's only one choice"

Caroline's POV

After getting dark, Brad took me to his apartment and now was thanking me for what seemed the 57th time.

"I did it because I care about you and the rest of the werewolves. I don't hang out with them but they are innocent and no one deserves to be always worried about dying. I just did what anyone would do."

"No. You did it more. Most vampires wouldn't care but you... You always care about people, no matter if they are human, Vampire, witches or werewolves. You are so kind... I really like that about you." He said and I kissed him.

"I really like you..." I said and he kissed me passionately.

He took me to his bed and take my dress, leaving me only in my underwear and then he looked at my body with desire. He kissed me with hunger and then started to let kisses from my lips to my neck, making me moan and then another trail of wet kisses ending on my belly. I took his t-shirt and kissed him passionately. Things started to heated up very fast from that moment.

After we had sex and cuddle for a bit, I went back to the Quarter, where I saw Nik drinking some bourbon.

"Are you happy?" He asked.

"What?" I asked confused because I wasn't expecting him to ask me that.

"Are you happy? I am now helping the wolves because of you. I am doing to see you happy, so my question now is: Are you happy?"

"I am. Thank you for helping them." I said and gave a peck on his cheek.

"I will do anything to see you happy." He said, making me smile, then I got a text from Brad asking me and Nik to go to the Bayou because something happened.

Nik and I went as fast as we could to the Bayou and saw all the werewolves upset and sad, when I saw Brad, I run over to him to see what happened and if he was okay.

"Hey! What's going on? Is everything okay?" I asked softly, worried about him.

"Our leader... he... he... he's gone." He said and I hugged him trying to comfort him but in this kind of thing there's not much we can do.

"I'm so sorry..." I whispered while hugging him.

"Attention, everyone! I know there's people who don't want this to happen but we know there two people here who come from a royal family of werewolves. We all know that if they mate and choose to be with each other for the rest of their lives, that would let us get back on our feet because it would be not only a marriage but a ritual to give us power and give us two leaders. I'm sorry..." the werewolf said and Brad gave his friend a look but the wolf just kept talking. "Brad and Olivia are from royal families and their union can give us not only two leaders but power."

"No! I'm not going to get married for power." Brad said.

"You need to. This is your pack." Someone from the small crowd said.

"What if I don't?"

"Then You can't be part of this pack. You no longer have our trust. All in it all out. You know how things are here." Someone said.

"You need to do this..." I said with a sad smile.

"But... what about us?"

"It was good while it lasted but now you have to do this..."

"I can't just let you go like that." He said while I let out a few tears.

"This pack is your family. Family is the most important thing we have. There's only one choice and we both know what is it." I said with a sad smile and he gave me a peck on the forehead.

With that I vamp speed to the car and Nik drive us to the Quarter while I just thought about how I should have enjoyed more having those moments with Brad.
