Audrey had already been expecting that from Alex for a long time now, she'd been aware of his feelings for her since the first time she met him.And right now, it didn't come as a surprise to her."Alex!" Sandra scolded angrily."you shouldn't have!" Sandra stood from her chair, glaring at Alex."Well, it's none of your business, you're not the one I asked to be my mate!" Alex stood, his eyes changing as his wolf pushed forward."Calm down, you two," Audrey said.Drama was the last thing she needed in her life at that moment.She pushed back her chair and walked over to Alex, "Follow me."Alex sent Sandra a glare before he obediently followed Audrey to the back of the Packhouse, close to the practice field."Before you say anything, Audrey, I'm not remorseful for what I said," He looked right at her while speaking."Because that's how I feel about you, I love you, Audrey," Alex confessed.He held Audrey's gaze intensely, looking expectantly at her, wishing his years-long crush would f
Audrey was quiet the whole ride back to the Grey Blood Pack. She kept thinking about what she had just learned about Mr. Russell and she couldn't bring herself to believe that the always-cheerful boss she'd known for a long time could be so inhumane.A thought suddenly popped into her head and she turned her head toward Alpha Lake. Thinking about it, she concluded that Mr. Russell was even merciful compared to what Alpha Lake did to her as a little girl without a wolf."What's the matter?" Alpha Lake asked.He had noticed Audrey staring at him for some time and decided to ask her if everything was alright."Nothing," Audrey replied and faced the window."We're here, Alpha," Henry announced as he rolled the car to a stop in front of the Packhouse.Philip quickly went out to open the door for Alpha Lake, bowing his head as the Alpha came out from the car."Catherine, follow me, there's something I need to show you," Alpha Lake said, stretching his hand out to Audrey who was already half

Audrey woke up very early the next morning and immediately ran downstairs after her shower. She quickly made breakfast for Alpha Lake and ran out of the house before he returned from his morning run."Hey, where are you?" Audrey spoke to Maria on the phone."Uh, sleeping, of course, it's just 5: a.m. I'm not a wolf like you," Maria replied groggily."Oh come on, wake up already, let's meet up at Sandra's," Audrey said and ended the call immediately.As she walked over to Sandra's house which was quite far away from the Packhouse, she kept looking back to make sure that Alpha Lake wasn't anywhere in sight.After that incident yesterda, he's not even so much as looked her way. It hurt her feelings and her pride, but she liked it that way. Today was a full moon by midnight and it would be easier for her to avoid him if he was still angry at her.She reached Sandra's house and knocked on her door, and immediately, the door opened to reveal Alex in brown shorts and a bare chest."Morning,
Audrey slowed down her steps as she neared the hall, slowly trailing behind her friends. "Are you sure you want to wait for us inside the hall?" Sandra asked as she slowed her pace to wait for Audrey to catch up to her. "Yes, it's okay, I'll just blend with the crowd," Audrey replied and held Sanra's hand, together, they walked into the large hall. "I'll be right here," Audrey let go of Sandra's hand as she stepped aside, blending with the people standing by the side of the door. "Then, I'll be right here too," Sandra said and weaved her way to Audrey. She too, was trying to minimize her proximity with Lawrence who seemed to be finding it difficult to take his eyes off her. Audrey smiled when her friend came to stand beside her, she knew she couldn't ask her to go be with the others because once Sandra's decided on something, you can't change her mind so easily. "Here he comes," Sandra pointed to the stage as Alpha Lake elegantly walked towards it, his powerful aura causing the
"What have you done to her?!" Lawrence angrily lurched forward to Audrey.He always knew this clique was crazy, but he never knew they could get this adventurous with people's lives."Calm down, it's not her," Maria said, holding Lawrence back."Audrey would never hurt an innocent person," Sandra spoke to Lawrence for the first time.On hearing her voice beside him, he felt his anger dissipate instantly, his rationality returned to him and he slowly turned to look at Sandra by his side."I'm sorry. I overreacted," Lawrence apologized to Sandra."You don't need to apologize, I'd do the same if I were in your shoes," Audrey replied calmly and walked toward the tall rocks.Alex quietly followed Audrey behind. Surprisingly, he didn't panic, he watched Audrey's reaction as the whole event unfolded and decided to put his fate in her hands.For her to look so calm meant that she was sure that Maya would be saved."I'm sorry," Lawrence repeated.Sandra sighed and replied, "It's o-""Audrey?"
Audrey looked up at the sky and realized that the walk out of the forest had sidetracked her from checking the time.The whole place was getting dark already as night approached, she knew she had to return to the garden very soon, the moon was starting to appear in the sky and she had to leave before it was fully out.'Honestly, I don't see a point of you running,' Selena suddenly spoke in her head."We'll see," Audrey whispered."You're... not coming?" Maya asked when she noticed that Audrey had stopped walking with them."Yes. You guys go ahead," Audrey replied.Maya looked at Sandra, Alex, and Maria, silently asking them to help convince Audrey to come with them but they slowly shook their heads at her.Maya sighed and walked back to Audrey."Why?" She was almost crying as she questioned Audrey."Maya-""You don't want to be my mate?" Maya asked anxiously, holding onto Audrey's hand I'm desperation."Calm down, Maya, there's a lot of reasons why I can't accept your request," Audrey
Audrey lay beside the river, looking up at the sky. The moon was almost full and it was the brightest she'd ever seen it glow."How about going for a swim?" The statue spoke to her."Nah, I'll pass. I'll just lay here till everything is over," Audrey sighed and put a hand behind her head for support."Whenever you're ready, Audrey," The statue replied.Audrey sensed a foreboding in the statue's voice but she ignored it, it was her way of talking anyway, always sounding mysterious.Audrey had just closed her eyes when she heard Avery's voice inside her head.'We need to find him!' Avery said desperately.Audrey immediately jolted up and sat up from the ground."Avery, no, we're not finding anyone tonight," Audrey said vehemently.She thought she had Avery under control, how did she get past her mind's threshold?'You forget you possess the wolf of the moon goddess, there's no controlling Avery tonight, Audrey,' Selena reminded softly.Audrey stood from the ground and started pacing bac
