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 was feeling hot, she was at war with herself, she wanted to damn everything and get herself fucked and mated, she wanted to show all those brainless bitches who the Alpha's real bitch was! But, she knew she couldn't.She just wanted to feel him, to feel his hunger for her as an assurance that he wanted and would want only her. It doesn't matter if she didn't reciprocate.Audrey broke away from the kiss and went under the covers.Alpha Lake lay unmoving, still not believing his eyes. He wished it was what he was thinking and he dearly prayed to the moon goddess to ward off visitors at the moment! He didn't want a repeat of what happened in his study.He felt her unbuckle his belt and unzipped his pants. He cooperatively lifted his waist for her to pull down his pants.Audrey threw the bed cover to the floor, together with his pants. For the first time, she was close up to his dick.She gently traced the huge outline of his dick through his black trunk, teasing him."Fuck! Don't
Sandra had asked her the same question for the third time but she just seemed lost in her thoughts."Oh, yes, I'll help!" Janeth blinked back to reality.Alex had left them and went to a corner to help some guys prop some things up. He watched Sandra and Janeth as they joined some girls to decorate the chairs and tables.He kept staring at Janeth and couldn't help but wonder who the girl was, he couldn't wrap his head around the possibility of something or someone being able to clone Audrey to such an unimaginable extent. He was flawed.If Audrey hadn't revealed herself to them earlier at the training field, he would have believed the new girl without a second thought."Hey, man! Focus!" Someone yelled at him."Oh, sorry. Here!" He lifted a bucket of paint to the guy who was painting a 'Welcome' sign on top of a ladder."Hey, look! It's Alpha Sebastian and Beta Andrew!" Sandra said excitedly.She liked Alpha Sebastian, she got to get close to him because of Audrey. She was the one wh
She was mad when she saw Audrey comfortably standing beside Alpha Lake.Memories of how she had always been left out when they were younger resurfaced in her mind. She promised herself never to lose to Audrey again. Never!"I'll see you later, enjoy your time with your Audrey." Audrey walked away from Alpha Lake before he could hold her back.Alpha Lake was instantly mad. He watched Janeth slow her footsteps when she approached him. He wondered if whoever disguised the girl as Audrey had failed to inform her about his relationship status with the real Audrey.Did they tell her that they had been best of friends; because that was how the girl was acting towards him?"Halt!" He commanded her to stop before she could reach him."Leave!" He said dangerously.Janeth knew she had to stay on his good side, she didn't want to push her luck, and she was surprised he still allowed her to stay in his Pack. That was enough hope for her.Alpha Lake walked past her, not sparing her a glance.Just
He looked at her with a knowing smirk."No, don't get me wrong, just, I haven't seen you sound that nice to any female before..." Audrey babbled, trying to defend herself.He drew her chair close to him and bent over to her ears."And what's it to you if I'm close to her?" He softly whispered to her ears."Pfft! Nothing, absolutely not..." He grabbed her chin and hotly locked his lips to hers, shutting her up.Audrey's eyes widened in surprise, he had never touched her so publicly before, and now, in front of many prestigious woves', he was kissing her like his life depended on it. She was scared, scared because she liked it.She knew she shouldn't, but, Avery was swimming on cloud nine, making her feel euphoric.She felt worshipped that her mate was kissing her in front of a lot of people, staking his claim on her."Ahem, A-alpha, your drinks," Alice announced, feeling embarrassed by the scene before her. Not like she hasn't seen wolves kissing...even fucking before; but, she had ne
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
