KNOCK! KNOCK!

Audrey stood to answer the door when she heard the knock, she almost fell over as she suddenly felt weak in her knees.

Waves of tingles moved from her wrist and spread like butterflies all over her body, she looked down to see her wrist enclosed tightly in Alpha Lake's hand.

She stared at him questioningly but, he did not take his face away from the computer, neither did he take his hand off her wrist.

"Sit." He commanded.

Audrey reluctantly sat down thinking he would release her wrist when she did so, but he held on tight, using his other free hand to scroll through his monitor.

Alpha Lake knew she was not comfortable and so was he not, he only held her hand for the sake of his wolf who had been restless since the moment Audrey sat beside them, he just wanted to calm Regal down and that was it, Regal needed to feel her skin, if not he would go out of control and it wasn't all fun and games whenever he was out of control. Regal needed her, not him.

    Audrey never knew Alpha Sebastian was this fun. She only knew him as the kind and handsome Alpha who she once had a crush on, she had never held a long conversation with him before to fully know his personality.But now, he seemed like a different person, carefree and fun."Then he pissed on himself in front of the girl, ha-ha-ha!" Alpha Sebastian laughed loudly."Oh no, poor Andrew, he was so drunk! I'm sure the girl left him there and then."Audrey laughed along, actually enjoying her time in the Grey Blood pack for the first time."You bet," Alpha Sebastian used his thumb to wipe a food particle from the side of Audrey's mouth and that was when Alpha Lake came through the door, watching them with hawk eyes.They did not even seem to notice his presence as they were too busy chatting happily with each other and doing their PDA.Alpha Lake lowered himself onto the empty seat beside Audrey.The temperature suddenly turned cold, making the first occupants of the table turn to him."It'

    Her eyes widened to their greatest lengths in surprise, and her brain scrambled up in webs of confusion. Her system shut down. She froze.Alpha Lake was turned on as he felt Audrey's soft lips on his. His wolf had taken over; Regal aggressively pushed forward to claim his mate. His. But he did not yield to it.As hard as it was, he did nothing else, he just placed his lips on hers and did nothing more.In as much as he wanted her, he was also allowing her to execute her plans, to show her real purpose of coming to his Pack, he was testing her, but, he was surprised to see the horrific reaction on her face; as if he disgusted her, and for some unknown reason, it hurt him and his wolf badly."You, Wh-What did you do?" Audrey managed to whisper in a low voice.Her voice trembling from shock and excitement. Audrey applauded herself, she did not believe she would be able to hold back Avery and not reveal herself to him in such an erotically critical moment, with the explosions of tingles s

    He increased his speed, wanting to reach the lake before she would disappear again.Audrey was enjoying her morning swim, floating leisurely on top of the water.She loved swimming, and that was when she fully enjoyed her naked alone time.She used her magic to play some fun tricks with the water, she placed her palm on the surface of the water as she floated, causing strong ripples around her, she placed the other palm down and made the water spurt like geysers.But her fun was suddenly interrupted when the strong scent of pinewood drifted into her nose, she quickly masked her scent, seized her actions, and then went under the water.'What the hell was he doing out here earlier than usual?' Audrey wondered as she used her powers to create an oxygenated air bubble around her face which let her breathe under the water, she did not know for how long the Alpha was planning to stay here.Alpha Lake was met with disappointment the moment he reached the lake, he looked around the trees that

    "I'll be damned," Audrey spoke to her wolf with a frown as she shifted the chair toward the new table, she had brought into the Alpha's office.She placed it a good distance away from Alpha Lake's table. She needed to stay away from him the best she could; especially, after what transpired between them at the lake earlier that morning.Audrey was currently at war with her wolf. She was angry and disappointed at Avery for allowing them to get swayed by that monstrous Alpha."You knew all he's done to us, yet, you almost gave us away like all those sufferings did not matter." Audrey continued but Avery just kept mute, brewing in her bubble of anger and worry in Audrey's head.She knew all Audrey said was true, but who could blame her? She was just a wolf who recognized her mate and wanted to bond with him, and if possible... mate. She did not want to go by Audrey's feelings, she had her strong beliefs that would overshadow Audrey's willpower with time."Answer me, you crazy wolf," Audre

    Audrey clenched her fists as walked behind the Alpha, it was as if he was purposely walking slowly down the narrow stairs, silently provoking her to lose her cool with him, but she did not, she had made up her mind never to put herself in a situation that would lead them to stand face to face to each other for any reason except work.She endured it till they walked out of the pack house where a black-tinted car was parked waiting for them."Alpha, the car's ready." A tall young man in a black suit opened the back door for Alpha Lake.Alpha Lake paused, he turned his head toward Audrey but she was quietly standing behind him, he was glad she did not hear what his driver had just called him, he was glad she was just a human with clumsy hearing, she couldn't have heard it, right?"Get in." He told her and went over to the other side and let himself in.Audrey reluctantly got into the car, she had planned to sit in front, away from him, but he ended up getting them seated together. She w

    "Let me go," Audrey snapped."No." He replied simply, tightening his hold on her slim waist. Audrey was exasperated.He was unbelievable. She didn't know how to react anymore. She couldn't help but wonder if he was bipolar - saying this and doing that, giving hot and cold signals.She could not believe the man before her was still the same man who acted like a devil towards her, he was still a devil, but it was safe to say he'd toned it down a little bit, probably because he believed she wasn't Audrey and mostly because of the mate bond.He still hated her, that was an obvious fact, but he tolerated her to some extent; an act he considered a favor to her given that she was just but a useless human.Remembering the kind of person he is changed her mood instantly.She turned off the stupid mate bond switch that was messing with her brain, ready to light him up if he still refused to release her.Seeing as Audrey went quiet all of a sudden, Alpha Lake smirked to himself thinking the mat

    Audrey just sat there, observing quietly. She saw everyone lowering their head from the strong aura emanating from the Alpha.He was using his power to break her will but because he channeled it only to Janeth, others only felt the heavy Alpha command that was coated with rage."Are we done?" Audrey placed her hand on Alpha Lake's lap under the table.He instantly snapped out of his rage, blinked his wolf away, and turned to Audrey, surprised at how a single touch from her could calm him down, not even a bit of rage was left in him."Yes." He replied calmly, placing his palm over her hand that was still resting on his lap. He liked the feeling, he loved that she took too initiative to touch him, Regal was over the moon.He looked over to Janeth who was still crunched over on the floor."Take her away, she should never be seen on this territory again.""Yes, Alpha." Andrew bowed his head to the command.He wondered why it was always him that had to do the dirty work. He took a deep b

    Audrey paused and turned to him."I'll be lying if I say I'm not curious. But, I wouldn't want to cross the line and pry into your matter. So, I'd rather not know." Audrey replied calmly. But deep down she was dying with curiosity.She wanted to know who Janeth was and why she was trying so hard to look like her, she wanted to understand what Janeth meant when she mentioned Andrew and the Alpha having a crush on her, and she wanted to understand why he hated her(Audrey) so much.She wanted to understand a lot of things about him.Alpha Lake watched her as she turned her back to him to finish what she was doing. He wasn't going to lie to himself anymore; he felt stung each time Audrey mentioned she wasn't interested in anything about him.Strangely, he wanted her to care about him, be interested in him."But, I'll tell you anyway." His voice sounded close behind her.Audrey felt him come up behind her, her heart missed a beat for a second and then started beating erratically.He went u

    Audrey felt herself forcefully sucked into another time and place, a battlefield filled with creatures of furry, and in that moment, she knew; she had time-traveled, but she didn't travel alone.Amid the chaotic battlefield, she heard the distant voice of Alpha Lake shouting her name from behind. She was about to turn and go to him when she heard Sandra's voice shouting for her to watch out.She immediately turned towards Sandra's direction to see what she was talking about, and, when she did, she was too late to dodge the iron spear aiming right at her chest.But when she thought she would feel the impact, it effortlessly passed through her like she was made of wind, and the next thing she heard was Alpha's Lake's familiar voice groaning loudly in pain.Without thinking, she ran towards him and fell beside him; blood was already pouring out from his mouth and nose. In despair, Audrey wanted to lift his head onto her lap, but when she went to touch him, her hand weaved through his b

    "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! What are we going to do?!" Sandra asked anxiously, she was audibly shaking and hyperventilating.Maria was scared too, but she needed to stay calm for her powers to be effective.She quickly leaned over Audrey and tried to heal her by placing her hands over her forehead, but she instantly withdrew them from the shock she got from touching Audrey's skin.She scanned her eyes helplessly around the room, and when her eyes landed on Sandra who was busy walking back and forth and biting her nails, she suddenly remembered something."Alpha Lake!" Maria said in a shaky loud voice. She understood that only her mate could hold her at that moment."Yes? Huh! What?!" Sandra didn't understand a thing Maria said or what she was replying to either."Get yourself together and get Alpha Lake!!!" Maria shouted at Sandra. "I'm sorry, yes, Alpha Lake!" Sandra vigorously nodded and ran up the stairs.Before she could reach his door, the door was forcefully opened, and h

    Audrey was deep in thought as she walked into the long passage to Ms. Bridet's room. She didn't realize that she was being followed the moment she walked down the stairs from Alpha Lake's condo.She reached Ms. Bridge's door and absent-mindedly raised her hand to knock on the door, but before her hand could reach the door, another hand beat her to it and knocked on the door before she could.Audrey was startled and quickly looked behind her just to find Sandra staring at her with a smirk."Figured you were in your sloth era so I decided to speed things a little bit up for you," Sandra winked at Audrey.Audrey huffed in silent laughter, shaking her head at her friend."Are you okay?" Sandra asked seriously.She knew her friend was worried, it was obvious from the way she looked.Before Audrey could reply, the door behind them opened."Everything alright, children?" Ms. Bridget asked as she opened the door and saw Audrey and Sandra standing there.They never visited without a reason. 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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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
