Has she successfully convinced him? Whatever! She walked into the living room and kept walking on, intending to ignore the duo.Alpha Lake sensed Audrey the moment she walked in. He felt conflicted, he didn't know what to do.How was he supposed to function well when he had two people that looked exactly the same?He had brought Janeth up to his house and asked her to prepare him dinner, at least he would know if she was Audrey or not, and, from the food in front of him...she was no Audrey, the food was inedible and smelt like rotten egg.It was a simple omelette, yet, she managed to make it look raw, and the mixture of the wrong ingredients she used made it smell awful.Alpha was reaching his limit with the fraudster in front of him."Alpha! That's her! The imposter! Tell her to return my bracelet!" Janeth stood from the dining chair and walked up to Audrey.SLAP!!!Alpha Lake wasn't expecting it, but the next moment, he heard a loud slap from the living room.Audrey palmed her cheek
The hall was filled with wolves from different Packs, from near and far regions.The Pack was filled with different types of cars, ranging from luxury to extremely luxurious.Alphas of different Packs were all present, their betas by their side. This was the day decided where to hold their full moon which was just a month away."Distinguished ladies and gentlemen!" Andrew's voice rang throughout the hall drawing everyone's attention to himself as he stood looking all dashing on the stage."Welcome to the Grey Blood Pack!" He announced proudly.Thunderous applause and howling filled the air, everyone was in merry spirit, they were always excited as the full moon approached, it meant mating, and mating meant more reproduction and more reproduction meant more expansion to the werewolf community."This is going to be the most eventful full moon; because everyone is around. All those who traveled for school, business, and, other reasons are back to their various Packs, and the best part is
"Enjoy the rest of your night," Alpha Lake wished his guests a lovely evening and walked away from the stage. Andrew followed behind."Alpha, where is our table?" Adeline asked, immediately wrapping her arms around Alpha Lake's as he came down the stage.Alpha Lake felt repulsed the moment Adeline's arm wrapped around his, but he could not complain. He was the one who had asked her to be his date for the night, he was using her as bait, and, until he successfully caught his target, he would endure Adeline's touch."Oh, there! I see Alpha Sebastian!" Adeline said excitedly, pointing at Audrey's table.She wanted to rub the fact that she was Alpha Lake's date on Audrey's face."After you, Adeline. I'll attend to my guests. Andrew?" He removed her arm from his and placed it on Andrew's."Take her with you.""Yes, Alpha." Andrew took Adeline's hand and they walked towards Audrey's table."Good evening, Alpha Sebastian." Adeline greeted them as they reached, completely ignoring Audrey."Go
Andrew was successful in stopping Janeth from meeting the Alpha.He had met her halfway, blocking her path."Excuse me, you're in my way," Janeth sneered."I know," Andrew said with a smirk, folding his hands on his broad chest.""But, you see, miss... whatever you are, our Alpha is deep in a serious discussion with people of class and prestige. Trust me, the last thing they need is an unknown entity barging between them," Andrew explained calmly."When I report to the Alpha, you'll be sorry for yourself," Janeth huffed.Alpha Lake has been quietly observing everything from where he stood.He'd not seen Audrey since yesterday evening, and looking at her right now, it seemed like she was glowing and he was a moth to her flame.He kept getting distracted from his discussion, always looking in Audrey's direction. He had seen when Janeth and Stacy came, but he didn't pay any attention to them, his sole attention was on Audrey, and when he saw Adeline trying to pour her drink on Audrey, he
Stacy was the only one who heard Audrey when she whispered those weird words because she had been watching her closely all this while.Stacy found Audrey's quietness to be frightening. She knew what she was capable of and she seriously feared for the chained girl whom she knew was the fake Audrey, for Audrey had revealed herself to her.Loud gasps and sounds of shock filled the air, and everyone's eyes were on the girl on the floor.Unbeknown to Janeth, she didn't know a great change had occurred within her, she slowly quieted down as she saw everyone staring at her with an unreadable expression on their faces."Janeth?!" Stacy was the first to call out her name.Janeth's body turned cold like the undead. Fear enveloped her whole being, and she broke out in cold sweat from every part of her body.She slowly turned to Stacy to see the indescribable shock on her face, and she slowly looked down at her hands and saw the heart-shaped tattoo she had on her wrist before Enissa changed her t
Deep in the forest, Audrey stood amidst trees. She made sure Alpha Lake didn't follow her, or anyone else for that matter.The night wind was slightly heavy, blowing the tree leaves around and rustling the dry fallen ones.Audrey closed her eyes and lifted her face to the sky, allowing the wind to blow harshly against her face and muss her hair around; she didn't care about her appearance at the moment. She was pissed."Argh!!!" She let out a loud frustrated scream, sending the birds flying away from the nearby trees.She was angry and bitter.Why did it have to be her? Out of all the wolves in the world, the moon goddess had to choose her to pair with such an unfeeling villain.Why did she have to suffer the way she did? She didn't ask for any of these, given a choice, she would choose to be a normal human, just the way they thought she was, no powers, no gifts, and, no wolf.'Ouch,' Avery said dejectedly.'We say things we don't mean when angry. She doesn't mean it, Avery.' Selena c
She looked to her left, from where the giggles had come from; and saw a young girl of about, twenty-one years old.Her hair looked as if it was in flames as the sunrays danced around it, and her long white dress was embroidered with flower patterns on the neck and sleeves. She wore simple brown sandals that exposed her delicate smooth feet.The girl looked pure and charming with her fair skin glowing with every sunray that touched it.It was her.It was her as Catherine.Audrey didn't need anyone to spell it out for her; she knew she had traveled to the past.Catherine was trying to help her understand everything.Audrey watched as Catherine covered her palms over her mouth to stop herself from giggling and revealing herself self to the voice that was searching for her.Audrey stood up and walked closer to her. She was in the orchid part and looking at the whole garden from there in daylight made it look more beautiful, but she noticed there was no grotto present in the garden as she
"And you don't want it getting into the wrong hands, blah-blah-blah, yes, I know." Enissa interrupted Catherine and finished for her."You know I love you, right?" Catherine sighed and hugged her sister snuggly."Maybe, just maybe, sometime in the future, I'll teach everything I know, maybe even with a few more people, and we could have a community of our own, where we can be ourselves," She kissed Enissa's cheek and let her go."Fine," Enissa sighed and nodded."Promise you won't tell anyone about it, not even Mama," Catherine asked."I promise," Enissa replied."Thank you! Now let's go get ready for a forced marriage!""Let's do that!" Both sisters giggled.Catherine bent over and picked up the blue dress from the floor, but she was unaware that a small book had fallen out from her dress."Let's go," Catherine folded the clothes in her hand and started to walk ahead of her sister."Catherine!" Enissa called as she picked the book up."What now? come on! Mama will have my head if we
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
