Audrey’s POV Fuck this…I was dreaming about him again. His handsome face skimmed down my thigh as he breathed past every spot his saliva had turned wet.I couldn’t map out my surroundings or the room we were in. I haven’t been here long enough to be able to tell which was which but the golden embroidery floral design that ran down the drapes on the wall glowed in the dim amber light in the room where this was happening. He was kissing everywhere on my body but my lips which infuriated me, but I knew I had no right to complain about it. The best I could do was nibble on my lower lips and hope I wasn’t being too loud. He would turn into fog in my vision as he goes down between my legs and I wouldn’t be able to see anything as I shut my eyes from the contact. He was so gentle it made the dream feel unreal. Or too real.A strong moan in my ears brought me awake. My eyes broke open. It was pretty easy to adjust to the light since there wasn’t much of it than the one that appeared from th
Audrey’s POV “Alright. That’s all for the night.”I didn’t take him seriously at first. My body was still cloudy with the warm haze of pleasure, burning with the need for fulfillment. All of that panting that filled the room with our breath eventually died down. As my body began to get cooler, I started to see that he was serious. He was going back to sleep when I expected him to at least take it over the edge. It was only when I turned to check on him, only to find him with his eyes shut that I believed his words thoroughly. I wanted to say something, anything. Touch his legs, make him see that there was more we could still do but I was afraid. Scared out of mind to cross the line again so he didn’t have to call my father again. I was thankful not to have a cell phone at the time Because now I could easily avoid anything concerning my family. I badly wanted them to remain something of the past from this point. I sighed, finally accepting it as what it was.If he thinks he’s the on
Audrey’s POV “You like it?”I almost pissed myself screeching from shock as Sabrina suddenly appeared out of the blue. “Dude! Never do that again!” I clutched my chest, feeling the solid radical beat against my palm. “Never,” I repeated.“Oh don’t be a wuss. You are now officially part of the alpha house, and part of the bargain is that you are supposed to be brave and strong. You know…I’m just kidding, sorry. You do look better than you did yesterday...” she stated, pointing at the portion of her face beneath her eyes, going in a semi-circle right under her eyes. “Doesn’t look like you cried yourself to sleep this time around,” She stood up from the stone, shaking off invincible dust from her butt area where she had sat down. She had on a long pale pink skirt and an overly flowing white blouse. It’s been a long time since I have seen someone dress this differently, you would almost think she was a hobo of some sort. Regardless, she looked good and the compliment made me feel good
Audrey’s POV “Audrey, may I speak to you privately.” I turned to Sabrina. My anxiety peaked so fast when I saw her wave me and walk in the opposite direction. What an asshole. I thought to myself. An image of me walking out of the room flashed in my head and it occurred to me, I was also an asshole, leaving him high and dry like that when the point of being his breeder was to play wife while he figures out if I’m what he wanted or not. I looked back at Sabrina who was now on the wooden swing. It made me wonder how we moved from walking away from the tree to being outside the tree and standing in the rising sun. “How the hell did we even get here?” I looked behind me again at the three in time to catch her waving in my direction. I flipped a middle finger with her with a faux grin on my face that wiped off the moment we broke eye contact and I was facing Trudeau. “Don’t worry about here. This is her territory. She does all kinds of weird stuff around her and doesn’t allow anyone—
Trudeau’s POV “Okay, now it’s time for the Main event.” I walked towards the secret door, Town. Don’t even ask me why the torture chamber holding all of our offenders was called ‘Town’. It was a silly idea by Guillemette to make the name some kind of pun. It was a secret chamber hidden behind the council building. A trap door led to the dungeon, I took a deep breath before taking my first step into the dark hall that descended the stairs. I didn’t mind it down here. I was okay with torturing people who had gone against me, they remind me of how much mercy I have shown people even after they claimed I was the devil. The only downside was the smell. Having a nose so sensitive to smell was just wrong for the occasion. Chains rattled, signifying someone was struggling. I quieted my steps so whoever it was down there wouldn’t know of my presence. “You have one more chance to tell who you are and who sent you to attack us?”“I already told you, I AIN’T TELLING YOU SHIT!” Then the perso
Trudeau’s POV I turned around to the Gamma. “Unchain him.”He remained static, staring at me like horns were growing out of my head. His eyes narrowed, staring between the chain lunatic and myself.“You heard him, boy?! Fucking unchain me!” He grinned like a fucking maniac, saliva dripping off the side of his lips like a rabid dog. I was going to have fun killing him off. The site of him brought a great level of irritation to my system.“Just do it,” I told Guillemette, turning away from the awful sight before I had the urge to throw up. The smell was already goddamn awful as it was already, I couldn’t handle the might of another irritation.“You don’t exactly have the balls to Unchain me?! Pathetic.” He spat in Guillemette’s direction. The saliva ended up spilling an ugly mess on the surface of the steel table.“Okay, I have had enough.” I stormed to him, grabbing his neck before he could find some corny ass lines to say. He immediately began struggling to breathe.“Wait, Unchain—me
Trudeau’s POV “I would have gotten out of that.” He said, through the full glass of shot into his mouth.“Bullshit, Guillemette. Bullshit.” I called him out, fully staring at him waiting for the next thing he was going to say. He stayed quiet, taking a drink from the counter and pouring it for himself. His face was neutral and reading his body language was such a waste of time because his posture was too stoic for my liking. I knew what he was doing, or rather I knew what this meant. Staying silent and just sipping his bourbon. It wouldn’t be the first time he results into not making a move, or saying a word when he felt like it was useless to do so. “So you are just like going to say quiet and shit right?” I asked him. “I am just going to take my drink and let you be alpha.”“I’m Trudeau, goddamn it! Stop being so fucking difficult. My job is already that, I don’t need you acting part.” I snapped, banging my hand against the polished wooden counter. Unlike the council’s round tab
Trudeau’s POV Maybe I should go see Cassandra…“Argh…” A groan of frustration left my mouth recalling how much the distance was between the alpha quarters and the beta station. It was walkable, but considering how hot the sun was, it was surely not going to be a pleasurable one. I didn’t need the scorching sun hanging upon my head while I drilled myself to know if I had overreacted ripping off his hand.A walk to the Beta station turned into a walk back to my quarters. I mentally prepared myself to call Felix for an update when I ran into a pair and a plus one I didn’t think I would see out in the mid-day.My eyes paired with that of the Shaman, Phil. His weak blue eyes opened up wider and he immediately stepped back from the pair that had their head together in a hushed condition. In my opinion, there was a knowing look in his eyes that only they understood. I knew this because they both nodded at him. Ever since the council meeting the previous day, Phil had decided that he was abo
Trudeau’s POV “We have to test the blood of the child. We need to know he is of our bloodline and fit to take the throne for the future.” Phil said.I could have argued that part too about how I have been the only one to lay with her since she had arrived at the pack but even I felt I would be disrespecting Audrey in a way. I believed I was the father of her child, plus the defeat in his voice gave me life. I agreed to the terms willingly. Even though I didn’t want to, it was the tradition to test for the bloodline of a child to show he was in line to take over if anything ever happened to me. “Why don’t we do that right now? I will go and bring the mother of my child and my five-day-old child. Here and here, Phil. Let this be where everything about this subject ends. After this, I do not want to hear you talk ill about Audrey or anyone else in this room. Is that understood?”Everyone gave some form of a reply from nodding to mouthing a not-very-audible yes.I took some seconds to t
Trudeau’s POVWalking through the council doors and seeing the faces of the people I have so dearly avoided for months.“One would think you had gone to join the ancestors early the way you completely deserted the table, Alpha Trudeau.” Elder Fiona announced out loud for everyone to hear. I heard it in her voice. That angst against me and the decision I made. From past encounters, I have known her to share a close bond with the shaman, and therefore his idea. Several others whispered amongst themselves as I walked by the long dull table that was placed in the center of the hall.I have watched this room shift into a jury room, back to a council room and a place to party in the past. Today, it felt like my own throne was my judgment seat as I drew it back and sat in it, looking at faces that had added a line of wrinkle and of course, the clear expressionless face from Guillemette who sat on the last seat at the end of my right hand.“Good evening, council.” I nodded to Elder Fiona in p
Audrey’s POVI never thought pain could feel this unearthing before. I could swear I was in the afterlife at some point during the operation. I thought they would tear my stomach up like I heard them whisper amongst themselves while they thought I was completely under the drug's seduction. There were moments in between where I sifted in and out of consciousness while wondering where the fuck I was. With the pain racking through my body and none of the drugs keeping them fully at bay, I was left watching the life show while wondering where this would leave me after it was all over.At a point, I had completely dissociated from the entire procedure going on between my legs. I asked myself, “How did I get here…”With no one else to answer but myself, I kept on watching. The moment the sound of my child hit my ears, life zapped back into me. I don’t know how I was able to tell it was a boy from his first cry. I could barely even see him though his body hovered over the cover clothes that
Trudeau’s POVWho paid to have my sister and Audrey killed months ago? This question took a ride back with me to the hospital. Before that, it haunted my mind while I tried to pick out the most comfortable clothes for Audrey. I recalled how she would avoid the darker clothes and stick to the lighter ones because according to her, they made her feel less hot. I understood the science of it. The rest of her things I just picked at random from flashbacks of what I have seen her use. A little bit of everything.Before embarking on the journey, I was kind of tempted to ask what the current situation was but hesitated last minute. I picked out some of her favorite flowers by the garden, again a little bit of everything.By the time I got to the hospital, the time was a few minutes past nine. I just feel the energy, the buzz. It was electric, very daunting and it was making its presence known. I was still approaching the entrance, roughly parking at a spot away from the entrance where the p
Trudeau’s POVI Can’t tell how long we waited. If you ask me, I will say it would take forever. I rose myself up and rode to the very high mountains that were the pack upstate. I needed to clear my head. There were already Elders by my door by the time I arrived first in the morning. ‘The doctors were still performing surgery ’ was the reason why I picked up and returned to the pack. After sleeping in my car and getting tired of the clothes I was wearing, I decided to leave and keep everything else secondary.“Alpha. You are back…but without the breeder.” Yousef said. An older man who was in charge of the northern territory but stepped down from his role and continued to hold a table on our council because no one in the band district knew this section better than him. I liked him, he was useful, and multiple times has he shown his usefulness. I smiled at him.“Yes, I arrived alone. She is still being taken care of by the doctor. I only came to get some necessities and go back to her.”
Trudeau’s POVShe passed out right in my arms. But she was still breathing. That was all that mattered to me. That she was still breathing.“Alpha, we need to make room for her. There is a chance that we might have to go into surgery.” The doctor tugged me by the arm gently. One looked at him and immediately let me go. I looked towards Audrey and Cynthia, they were the only familiar faces I knew here aside from Peter who has been the Lycan family doctor for as long as I can remember. I couldn’t bring myself to let her go. That would mean uncradling her head and letting her go through this alone.“I am here, Audrey. I am here!” I found myself yelling at her. I aggressively kissed her forehead. The need for her to feel my presence wherever she was deep in there was all that concerned me at the moment. I needed her to know that I was right beside her. We got out of the room after another minute or so of Cynthia trying to round us up. I just found it hard to let her go.I peeked through t
Cassandra’s POV“How does it feel to be pregnant?”She had barely slipped the blunt past her lips when I decided to ask. It took her a second or two delay before she began coughing up the smoke. I shook my head, not enough to get noticed but still showing a little bit of disappointment at her level of predictability and I haven’t even spent that much time with her.She looked up at me as if contemplating what her next reply was supposed to be. She kept staring at me and I stared back at her. Something in my expression should have told her I knew exactly what I was talking about and she didn’t have to lie. Eventually, she conceded. Her eyes fell to the ground. Good girl…“Yeah no, I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on for now. I don’t even think I want to be pregnant right now…I am sure that is not what the pack would want.” She said, staring down at her fingers.“Hey…” I touched her shoulder, studying her reaction to know if I could move further. She didn’t seem bothered by it. Y
Audrey’s POVI wasn’t supposed to be out. I mean outside here in public. Inside the hall would have been safer in Trudeau’s opinion but I was tired of the loud music, the dancing, and the increased popularity. Plus, I was moving around with the consciousness of anyone who could tell I was pregnant. At times I would find myself looking at an unclear reflection of myself and my heart would skip thinking I had a bump shooting out of my tummy. I should know better that pregnancy doesn’t work like that.So I was outside smoking a joint under a tree instead of trying to fit in with everyone inside. Heck…I don’t even dance. That’s the problem. Or part of it rather.“Tired already?” Cassandra’s voice never failed to take away all of the peace I had every time she showed up unannounced, which was beginning to happen a little too often for my liking. There was a time when we barely ran into each other. It is scary that that is what I would refer to as a good time right now. She made herself vis
Audrey’s POVYou may be wondering why I had to jump back on the bed a second before I heard Trudeau slam something on the wall before yelling through the house with frustration.“Fuck!”I sat back up on the bed, looking for an excuse, anything to come out without sounding like I had been awake for a while. So I went into the bathroom, dabbing my face with a moistened clean towel, making sure to make me look kind of messy before I walked out of the room with the stray in my hands. My room was one of the few rooms on the downstairs floor and it emptied into a corridor which in turn showed the way to the living room.There he was, lying on a chair with the frustration of the world evident on his face. I dropped the tray on the closest flat surface I could find. It was never really my main mission to begin with. I got closer to him, subconsciously being careful of my every step as I didn’t want to piss him off by being too loud knowing how sensitive he got whenever things got too loud aro
