CHAPTER 3

Chapter 3

Audrey's POV

I shut my ears to Courtney's words at least I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore, that was a relief.

My eyes felt heavy as soon as we hit the road. I didn't sleep a wink last night and I could really use some at the moment, at least we have a very long journey ahead, so a few hours of sleep won't hurt anyone.

After sleeping for a while, I opened my eyes slowly.

"Did you sleep well?" Gamma Guillmette asked as soon as he noticed I was awake.

I nodded in response. I looked over at my watch and realized I had slept for five hours straight. I had no idea where we were but I know we left Dawnstar's territory a long time ago.

"You can go back to sleep if you like," He told me. "We still have a long journey ahead of us."

"Thank you," I told him.

He chuckled. "What are you thanking me for?' He asked.

"For treating me nicely," I answered.

"You don't get treated nice often, huh?"

I couldn't find the words to answer. It was no news to anyone that I was treated badly by my father and his wife and daughter, but I didn't want any form of pity from Gamma Guillemette. I'm going to try and start afresh at Blue Lotus Pack. I have no idea what the future holds, but it can never be as terrible as staying with my Dad and his family.

"There are some books in the backseat, see if you'd like anyone," Gamma Guillmette told me. "Use it to keep yourself busy till we arrive Blue Lotus Pack."

"Thanks," I said.

"You're welcome," he answered and focused on his driving. I had no idea whose territory we were in but the roads looked deserted. I haven't seen a single car pass by since I woke up.

"Is it okay for me to sit in the backseat?" I asked politely. I wouldn't want to offend him and make him think I was treating him as my personal driver or something. "I'll feel more comfortable reading in the back seat."

"Sure, why not," he answered.

I made my way to the back and picked up the first book I could lay my hands on. It was a book about strategies, I was about searching for something more interesting when the car stopped abruptly accompanied by a screeching sound.

I looked up sharply to know what must have happened, and to my surprise I saw a werewolf right in front of us, and four others behind. From the looks in their eyes, it was obvious they were not friendly.

"Stay put," Gamma Guillmette ordered me. "Don't leave this car for any reason whatsoever."

Gamma Guillmette came down from the car, with me locked inside and he walked over to the werewolves. I felt completely useless as I could not do anything to help. My wolf hadn't surfaced yet, so there was no difference between me and a mere human.

"I'll advise you to just hand her over without any issues," One of the wolves spoke.

Gamma Guillmette chuckled. "The only way you're getting to her is if you pass through me."

"You know you're greatly outnumbered, right?" Another wolf spoke.

"I have faced worse situations," Gamma Guillmette retorted.

The argument seemed to get heated and Gamma Guillmette transformed into a big black wolf. Fear gripped me as I feared for his safety. He was greatly outnumbered like they already pointed out, and those wolves didn't look like regular wolves, they looked like warriors who had trained all their lives.

The sounds of snarls and growls, accompanied by the clash of fangs and claws, sent shivers down my spine as I watched. Despite being greatly outnumbered Gamma Guillmette was able to defend himself and even succeeded in killing two of them, the remaining three.

My breath caught in my throat as I heard a knock on the window. Turning sharply to my right, I saw a wolf on the other end, his eyes felt like an endless pit as he glared at me with his fangs and claws in full display ready to rip me to shreds.

I was still trying to process all that was happening when I heard a knock from the right window. Panic surged through my veins and tears streamed shamelessly down my cheeks. The first wolf gave me a devilish grin before forcefully pulling the door open.

I buried my face in my hands with my eyes shut as I awaited the worst to happen.

"Pack only what you'll need," Gamma Guillmette's voice came next, sending waves of relief and shock through me. I had expected to feel fangs or claws on my skin but instead, I heard his voice.

"The– they–" I stuttered for words with tear filled eyes. The last time I checked, Gamma Guillmette was still fighting with three wolves and in just a split second the shredded bodies of all the wolves, including the two that had suddenly appeared by the window were on the ground.

I didn't bother asking him how he did it though, it was a dumb question, instead, I did as he instructed. I took my mum's diary, and also the little backpack I carried with me from Dawnstar Pack.

"You have to shift into your wolf," Gamma Guillmette told me. "It's dangerous for us to work around in our human forms."

"I– I can't shift," I stuttered.

"What do you mean you can't shift?" The look of disappointment in Gamma Guillmette's eyes broke my heart to shreds.

"I- don't have a wolf," I said in between tears.

Gamma Guillmette sighed and muttered something under his breath.

"Get in my back," he said, as he crouched in front of me. "I've sent for help," he informed me. "A helicopter will meet us up ahead."

"What about the car?" I managed to ask.

"Don't worry about it," he told me.

The feel of his fur on my skin instantly put me at ease and I felt safe.

I woke up to the rattling sound of a helicopter. I had no idea that I had slept off on Gamma Guillmette's back. Feeling embarrassed I made to come down, and he let me down.

Without saying a word, we got on the helicopter, and it took off, heading straight to Blue Lotus Pack.

The flight to Blue Lotus Pack was a quiet one, as neither I, Gamma Guillmette nor the pilot that came to pick us up spoke a word.

We soon arrived at Blue Lotus Pack, I didn't even have time to take a good look at the environment when a man and a very beautiful lady walked up to us.

"Welcome back Alpha Trudeau."
