"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
"You're a real witch?" Caleb asked Audrey as they stood in front of the hospital.He was holding a bottle of water in his hand, sipping gulp after gulp to rinse the nausea away."Yes, Caleb," Audrey replied."Unbelievable," Caleb said."Better believe it, hun," Maria patted his shoulder.Caleb stared at Maria and Audrey and wondered what next those two had in store for him.How was he supposed to forget what he had seen now? He did pity Adeline, but he also knew she had a dark heart; maybe she'd learn from her mistakes this one."Come on, we've got lots of things to discuss," Maria said and dragged Audrey away from the hospital, Caleb stared longingly at her as she walked away from him."I need to grab something from the kitchen, hang on," Audrey said and walked toward the kitchen as they entered the pack house."I'll come with," Maria replied and immediately followed behind.Audrey pushed open the door to the kitchen and stood frozen at the door, staring right at the table they norma
Audrey watched the surprise on Alpha Lake's face and realized that she wasn't the only one who had been blown off by the unfolding situation."Hey, chipmunk, you've grown bigger, and who the hell mated you?" Mark asked protectively."That's enough! Both of you!" Audrey went and grabbed Maria's arm, dragging her away from Mark and into the living room.Maria wanted to whine but suddenly realized the situation, she understood that she'd just landed herself into a big problem with Audrey and the Alpha.She had been carried away and didn't think about the aftermath. She understood why Audrey would be angry; if it were her, she'd feel angry and betrayed, too."Sit!" Audrey pushed Maria down on the sofa and glared at her before turning to Mark who was now standing beside her with a little smile on his lips."Hi, Catherine, or, is it Audrey now?" Mark asked, looking at her hair and her face.Alpha Lake had told him everything on their way to the Packhouse, so he knew that his little Catherin
Audrey sat in the dining, slowly eating her food and staring at everyone at the table.After Mark had proved his magical ability, Sebastian had come in to discuss something with Alpha Lake and Mark. Both Alphas pretended like they hadn't wanted to cut each other's throat earlier that day.Audrey had paused their conversation, and she had dragged Maria to the kitchen; it was time for lunch, and she was starving.She silently ate her food, looking from one person to the other, she stopped at Alpha Lake and suddenly remembered the conversation she had with him on his balcony when she had given him the box that had the pictures and letters; he had told her that he'll never mate her because he'll only see her as a sister, so, does it mean they're stepcousins now?Alpha Lake felt someone staring at him and raised his head to find the familiar green eyes of his mate staring thoughtfully at him. He felt her troubled mind and he felt her indecisiveness."Are you alright, Kitten?" Alpha Lake a
Maria gasped loudly; she never imagined their little conversation was going to end up that way; she turned to Mark and saw him looking unconcerned through his phone; she glared at him, blaming him for the turn of events, if he had only kept his big mouth shut, none if this would have happened.She slowly looked toward Alpha Lake; she'd heard that getting rejected by one's mate could be life-threatening, but when she looked at Alpha Lake's face, he was fucking smirking at an angry Audrey.Maybe Audrey was right in rejecting him; now he was showing his true colors, and he couldn't even pretend to be bothered by her rejection.What a scum!Audrey closed her eyes, waiting for the bone-crippling pain to pull her down to the ground but nothing happened. The only thing she felt was Avery's whiny voice giving her an earful for trying to reject their hot and sexy mate.She was surprised at that. Why was Avery thinking she was still 'trying' to reject him? She just did! That's exactly what she
