"I'm sorry if I've asked the wrong questions. Goodnight." Audrey drew herself away from him but he immediately drew her back to his side, spooning her."No, not that, kitten." He put his nose on her neck and sniffed her. He was starting to scent something different from what he did before.Each time he sniffed her, it always felt like there was a repressed scent hidden beneath the flowery scent of hers. She intrigued him.He wanted to know everything about this mysterious human in his arms."Catherine?" He called quietly behind her."Yes?" Audrey answered, wondering why he needed to say her name; she was right in front of him, gummed to him."I'm a wolf." He said calculatelively, gauging her reaction."Yeah, and I'm a witch and a wolf too," Audrey said calmly.She knew he wouldn't believe her, but, at least, she felt like saying it to get the secret off her chest. By the time he would go ballistic when he finally found out, she would remind him of this night. Maybe, this was not the n
Audrey didn't get enough sleep the last night. She had sneaked out when she was sure Alpha Lake was deep in sleep; and went to seek Ms. Bridget.She could not bring herself to close her eyes beside such an evil man.KNOCK KNOCK!Ms. Bridget who was in deep slumber woke up from the consistent knocking on her door."Who could that be, so early in the morning, it's barely sunrise." Ms. Bridget mumbled sleepily.KNOCK! KNOCK!The knocking continued."Hold on, I'm coming." She put on her foot wear and went to open the door."Audrey?""Mama!" Audrey hugged Ms. Bridget tightly, sobbing into her chest."Oh, poor girl. Come on, let get you sitted." Ms. Bridget took her in and closed her door.She let Audrey cry for sometime, to let out her frustration, she knew it had something to do with their unruly Alpha."Now, now, it's okay child. Talk to me. Tell me everything." She said soothingly, gentle petting Audrey's back.Audrey gently calmed down, she didn't know why she cried, but the moment she
"What. Did. You. Say?" Alpha Lake asked dangerously. His demeanour changed Instantly, the atmosphere turned cold.Janeth shrank back, but she didn't run away, she knew what she would benefit from the outcome of her actions were worth every punishment she would receive."He asked you to kill her, Audrey. She's the daughter of Isabella; the Pack murderer. She killed your mother, our beloved Luna Aurora-""Quiet!" He snarled and snatched the letter off her hands.He had not read the letter since he picked it from his father's cold hands in the forest five years ago.Why? Why did Janeth have to go and read it, now, he had to choose between honouring his father's words and his feelings.He knew the latter was now out of the question, any one who hurt her mother was his enemy.Audrey was his enemy."Go away, Janeth. I'll deal with you later." He said in a very low and dangerous voice."But, Alpha, I think you should love me instead-""I said, get lost!" He growled at her.Janeth ran into th
He groaned as he went faster with his hands, thinking about their time in the kitchen, on her bed, and imagination of how she would kneel in front of him, taking him all in. It drove him and his wolf crazy.His movements became sloppy and faster as he neared his peak."Fuck-Audrey! Ah! Shit!" He groaned loudly as he finished off. He didn't care if she heard him, in fact, he wanted her to hear him. He made up up his mind to make her beg for him before full moon, by then, he would have had his full with her and he would have made his mind up on his mind on how he wanted to go about their ever growing mate-bond."Damn it!" He cursed out when he realised the name he had called during his intense release.This was the most confusing state of his life. How could his brain be this treacherous?After dressing in his black joggers and a black tank top, he paired it up with a black Nike shoe.Today was training, and they had missed a training session last week because of Catherine(Audrey), bu
Her statement rang a bell in his mind. He was very familiar with those words, but this time, he wasn't the one saying it, it was someone who looked the person he used to say it to.He felt stung by her words. He was about to say something else when his eyes finally caught the bracelet around her wrist.His brain stopped functioning and he couldn't explain how he felt. Mixed feelings.The gold bracelet was the one he had gifted Audrey in exchange for her amulet, which he still had with him. He didn't know why he still kept it, but he did.How did she come to be in possession of it?"What's on your wrist?" He asked, his voice sounded cracked."Oh this? Ms. Bridget just gifted it to me this morning." Audrey said and turned back to continue with her potatoes, but, her wrist were held, stopping her from turning away from him."What do you think you're d...""Mate!" Alpha Lake said out loud.Everywhere went pin drop silent in the kitchen. The servants all paused what they were doing and loo
"Stacy, you know well why I tolerate you, don't push it. I don't care about your parents, and cut off my monthly supply to your Pack, they're no match for me. I can send you back right now and never let you step your foot into my territory. So, do not push it. Okay?" He whispered lowly so only both of them heard what he said.He was saving her face, he knew her type of person was too proud and wouldn't want people to hear him talking about her that way. He helped her maintain his reputation."Oh no, I'm sorry if I've crossed the line, I just thought, after all these years, maybe we should ma...""Alpha, training has commenced." Andrew informed as he walked up to them and stood directly between them.He knew how difficult Stacy could be when she wanted something. They had all went to the same school as children, he knew her too well, he wished he didn't."Let's go. Take her with you." Alpha Lake pointed behind Andrew and walked away."Oh, hey there Stacy. Didn't see you there, thought
He knew for a fact that the girl before him wasn't his Audrey, her lavender was too strong and too fake.He could still remember Audrey's scent, her Lavender scent was mild and sweet; not this shocking and pungent smell that seemed like she had soaked in lavender for centuries, it was irritating."Audrey?" He stepped forward and looked at the girl from hair to toe.Everything about her screamed fake! But he wasn't going to expose her yet, if she could look this way, it was with the help of a witch. He wanted to find out her mission here, and why she thought Audrey was her best appearance to wear."Yes, Alpha. It's me, Audrey." She answered and walked towards him but he raised his hand and stopped her."You said you accepted her challenge?" He asked."Yes, I do." She agreed.And there he had it; his answer.Audrey would never accept such a challenge from Stacy, but this imposter was eager to fight with her.Everyone was still trying to wrap their head around the strange girl's sudden
She knew she was threading dangerous grounds, and now, was the time to step back.There was no way holding Avery back if she let him touch her wet pussy."Oh dear moon goddess! I'm sorry. I didn't know you were busy, please carry on." Ms. Bridget covered her face with her hands, trying to close the door without looking at the horny mates.'SLAP!!'Ms. Bridget had to look when she heard the loud sound from the room.Audrey had immediately pushed Alpha Lake off of her and gave him a hard slap on the cheek the moment the door was pushed open. She quickly adjusted her clothes and walked briskly out of the room.She didn't look at the old lady as she passed the door, she already knew the look she would see on her face.Deep down, she was glad Ms. Bridget chose to come by the time she did. She had been saved by the bell.Alpha Lake stood perplexed with his hand on his stinging cheek."I-she-we.." He stammered for the first time in his life."Say no more, child. It's not my place to know." M
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
