Audrey looked up at the sky and realized that the walk out of the forest had sidetracked her from checking the time.The whole place was getting dark already as night approached, she knew she had to return to the garden very soon, the moon was starting to appear in the sky and she had to leave before it was fully out.'Honestly, I don't see a point of you running,' Selena suddenly spoke in her head."We'll see," Audrey whispered."You're... not coming?" Maya asked when she noticed that Audrey had stopped walking with them."Yes. You guys go ahead," Audrey replied.Maya looked at Sandra, Alex, and Maria, silently asking them to help convince Audrey to come with them but they slowly shook their heads at her.Maya sighed and walked back to Audrey."Why?" She was almost crying as she questioned Audrey."Maya-""You don't want to be my mate?" Maya asked anxiously, holding onto Audrey's hand I'm desperation."Calm down, Maya, there's a lot of reasons why I can't accept your request," Audrey
Audrey lay beside the river, looking up at the sky. The moon was almost full and it was the brightest she'd ever seen it glow."How about going for a swim?" The statue spoke to her."Nah, I'll pass. I'll just lay here till everything is over," Audrey sighed and put a hand behind her head for support."Whenever you're ready, Audrey," The statue replied.Audrey sensed a foreboding in the statue's voice but she ignored it, it was her way of talking anyway, always sounding mysterious.Audrey had just closed her eyes when she heard Avery's voice inside her head.'We need to find him!' Avery said desperately.Audrey immediately jolted up and sat up from the ground."Avery, no, we're not finding anyone tonight," Audrey said vehemently.She thought she had Avery under control, how did she get past her mind's threshold?'You forget you possess the wolf of the moon goddess, there's no controlling Avery tonight, Audrey,' Selena reminded softly.Audrey stood from the ground and started pacing bac
Audrey knew it was pointless to resist, she was still trying to signal him to turn around when Avery suddenly decided to change her back to human form, right in front of the Alpha.Well, it's not like he hadn't seen her naked before, but tonight was different, she felt so exposed under his heated and hooded eyes.Alpha Lake's eyes darkened as he stared at the naked girl in front of him... His Audrey.He couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe how stupid and dumb he must have looked in front of Audrey all those while she was deceiving him.He locked his gaze with hers as he covered the space between them.Audrey leaned her bare back against the tree as Alpha Lake stopped right in front of her, and unconsciously, she closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. It was now starting to cloud her reasoning, and with him standing that close to her, both naked and horny, it left her breathing turning shallow and her arousal leaking out of her pussy like an open trickling tap.Alpha
Alex was standing behind a tree, hiding quietly, but he knew it was fruitless. No one could hide from any werewolf tonight, especially not when you're that werewolf's mate."No, no, no, this can't be right," Alex whispered anxiously as he felt the scent getting nearer and nearer.The moment the moon turned full, a strong musky scent hit his nose; he instantly ran in the direction of the scent, but when he found the big brown wolf that owned the tantalizing musky scent; he suddenly shifted to human form and quickly ran to hide away from the wolf.But it was too late because the wolf had already scented him and was now tailing his tracks.Alex closed his eyes as he felt the presence of someone behind the tree he was hiding, wishing a miracle would happen and he'd be somehow missed by his seeker."Open your eyes, Cub," Andrew's voice sounded right beside his ear, sending tingles from his ears down to his toes.He slowly opened his eyes and found Andrew's brown eyes staring into his soul
"What's happening?" Alpha Lake asked, staring at Audrey with an unreadable expression."Wear this," Audrey made a grey sweatpants materialize in front of him and went ahead to dress herself up in a white pant and a white top.Alpha Lake caught the short in disbelief. He couldn't believe he could be this dumb for an Alpha. He's lived with a witch and a wolf under the same roof for almost a year and couldn't detect anything, no scent, no characteristics."You're... a witch?" He slowly asked Audrey as he put his legs through the shorts."Dumb," The statue said."See you later, Catherine," Audrey said and turned away from Alpha Lake, not answering his question.As mates who had joined their bodies as one under the full moon, she knew they could now feel each other's emotions, and what she felt from him at that moment was hurt, betrayal, and curiosity.She scoffed as she walked toward the gate. He dared to feel hurt and betrayed because she didn't reveal her identity to him. She knew he co
The moment the witches marched out of the forest, Alpha Lake turned feral. The stench of rogues soiled his nostrils, his wolf surfacing through his eyes to show dominance and make claim to his territory.Andrew too, was beside him, glaring at the rogues, awaiting his Alpha's orders.If not because Audrey was the one who led them there, their heads would have been rolling on the floor by now."Calm down, Lake," Audrey went and placed her hands on his cheeks, but he instantly drew her into him and hurried his face in her neck, taking a long draw of breath before he finally calmed down. How he had missed her pure lavender scent, now he got it back, he wasn't letting her go anywhere again."Why are they here?" Alpha Lake asked as he gently raised his face from Audrey's neck."You can't tell?" Audrey asked, looking from Alpha Lake to Andrew."Well... they're not trying to eat our fresh anymore..." Andrew replied with a little frown."True, but that's not the point," Audrey said and waved a
Audrey didn't even flinch; she just stood in front of the door, watching the Oscar-worthy drama as she easily leaned her head beside the door."Why did you do it?" Alpha Lake asked angrily as he lifted Adeline from the floor and escorted her out of the pack house without sparing Audrey a second glance.Audrey shrugged and went back into the house to continue her cooking, filling her stomach was more important than anything at that particular moment. The incident only solidified her decision about Alpha Lake. Sleeping with him was just a perk of the mate bond and was something she'd discovered she had no control over.But, marking him, was solely her decision, and she had decided not to mark him nor let him mark her.He was free to choose whoever he wanted, as long as he gave her what she wanted. And speaking of, it was about time she stated her rules with him. ***Alpha Lake lowered Adeline to the hospital begging, her wrist still bleeding."What happened?" Caleb asked as he carried
Adeline's heart skipped a beat as she heard what Caleb had said.What did he find out?She panicked internally; she had been so blinded by jealousy that she didn't take her time to come up with a fail-proof plan. And, now, it looked like this stupid doctor was about to spew rubbish about her.No! She won't let that happen."What is it, Caleb?" Alpha Lake asked, folding his hands on his chest."Um, I kind of noticed that-""Ah! It hurts, Alpha. Please help me!" Adeline cried, holding her chest for emphasis."It was her!" She pointed at Audrey, "Catherine put me in this condition, Alpha. Punish her!" Adeline was now wailing hopelessly.Audrey chose to keep quiet, to see what Alpha Lake would do. If he ever believed Adeline for a second, then she'd waste no time in doing what was on her mind.Alpha Lake sighed and looked at Audrey for a long time, she was also holding his gaze, daring him to make the wrong decision."I don't believe you, Adeline," Alpha Lake slowly shook his head.Adelin
