Knight's POV 'Mate is beautiful.' My wolf uttered in awe of Aubrey as she folded her arms and stared at me with defiance shining in those depths. " What are you doing here?" She challenged. I dipped my hand into my pocket as I scanned her room. It was neatly arranged. It was obvious that she just cleaned the room. " You have a nice place," I commented and watched in amusement as she kissed her teeth in irritation. If it were another in this position, I would have laughed so hard, at the irony of me being mated to this little girl. Well, she had filled out in the right places. Her eyes narrowed at me in anger, " You still haven't answered my question." She replied. The air crackled with tension, my wolf was going mad in my head. 'Mate is so gorgeous when angry.'" You feel it too, don't you?" I walked towards her, and she moved a step back before planting her feet and staring me square in the eyes. Other people's heads would have rolled for this similar action." Feel what?" she
Aubrey's POVI was moody the next day and when I walked into the class, Alexis didn't spare me."Why does your face look sour?" She commented as I dropped my bag on the seat beside hers. " Not now, Alexis," I replied and brought out my notes from my bag. I set them on the table too hard because it resounded throughout the class and everyone turned to me.I smiled sheepishly as my face heated up, " Are you okay?" Alexis inquired. " Yes." Luckily, she didn't bother me anymore and we sat through the lectures without talking. Her eyes strayed to mine at different intervals, but she didn't say anything." We will be having a test next week on Tuesday. I hope we are also getting our trip next week Wednesday. Get prepared." Mr. Drew announced.Choruses of yes sirs filled the hall. Plans were made and I scrolled through my phone. " I am going to the cafeteria, are you coming?" I shook my head. " I'll be fine, I just need to get my head together," I explained. It was not right to give her
Aubrey's POV " Thank you," I whispered after entering the car. He hummed in response and turned on the heater. I didn't feel as cold as before. His body was stiff. His hands focused on the road as he drove on.This was the best time to apologize, but trust me and my pigheadedness, I refused to. " You have passed my intersection." He didn't reply and I stared at him, hello? " This is not the route to my house," I repeated in case he didn't hear me the first time. " I heard you." He replied and I folded my arms. " So, where are you taking me to?" I replied. It was raining hard, no one would hear my voice if I screamed. He turned on the radio and Bishop Brigg's River blasted in the car. I never knew that he would be fond of our generation's music. I brought out my phone and scrolled through it to keep myself busy. A text popped up from an unknown number. Intrigued, I opened the text. " Hi, My name is Josh. We spoke today. I got your number from Matt." This guy was giving me stalk
Aubrey's POV It was nice meeting you, I hope we can do this some other time." Anna replied and gave Mr. Knight another glance before leaving. " Are we going to pretend that she wasn't interrogating me?" I asked as we walked back to his car." No, she wasn't. Trust me, she loved meeting you. Very excited even." He agreed cryptically again.That sure didn't look like it. It seemed that they had silent conversations with their eyes. He said he wasn't in the mob, " So, you have chains of businesses. Why are you teaching at the college?" He didn't need the money. He sighed, and turned on the ignition, " I was hoping that you wouldn't ask that question." I scoffed, " Of course, I am going to ask. So? Ellie never told me that you are into any business." I replied. It was a huge deal for me because I felt that I knew everything about her and vice versa. They never lived flamboyantly so I could never imagine.He sighed, " You can call that an inherited business. I actually live teaching."
Knight's POV " Good morning, Mr. Knight." Bella greeted me immediately when she walked into the office the next day. She wore a large smile and I nodded in response. " Morning, Bella. I trust you had a lovely night." I replied and looked up from my computer. " Yes. It was good, these are some of the research I came up with." She dropped a file on my table, and I smiled. Resourceful, I like." Good, I didn't think that you would do it so fast." She smiled again, " Well, what can I say? I didn't rise to this position by being lazy." She replied and I nodded. " I like that." It was good to know that there were still hardworking young people. I flipped the pages of the file and skimmed through them. From the look of things, she did a great job." Great, I'll assess this when I return. I have a class." I replied. She was still standing, and I looked up. " Is there a problem, Bella?" I inquired. She shook her head as if she wanted to clear her head out of a daze. " Nothing. Your shir
Aubrey's POV " Hey, babe" Xander pecked me on my forehead immediately I opened the door the next day. We didn't have lectures so I was lounging at home. What are you doing here? " Hi," I replied and bolted the door. He placed his backpack on the table and sighed as he plopped on the sofa." I didn't see you today. How are you doing?" " Fine." " It has been long since we hung out together. There's this new restaurant that I want us to try. Are you up for it?" He inquired. If I say no, chances are that he would pick a fight and make a fuss about it. "Now?" It was almost seven p.m. " Yes. Are you busy? I know you're not." He answered. I've been indoors since morning, so I guess I needed to stretch my legs. " Just give me some minutes to change," I replied, and he nodded. I disappeared into my room and discovered that I didn't know where we were going. " Do I need to dress fancy?!" I shouted. "Kinda." He said, I wore a navy blue dress and paired it with a pair of teardrop earr
Aubrey's POV I backtracked, "Wait, what?" I asked. He was behaving weirdly. Why was he looking around like someone was going to burst in at any minute?" Come over to my house." He repeated, and I took a step back. What was he doing? If I followed him home, I knew what was going to happen. " I can't." He sighed, " This is not the time to be stubborn." He said. I grew annoyed, " Well, if you had given me a reason why I should follow you, I would be more inclined to listen to you."I replied. He raked his hands through his hair. " Don't make this any more difficult than this. It's simple; this place is unsafe for you."I rolled my eyes, and went to the sofa to sit. He sure knew how to ruin beautiful moments. " I am not going anywhere." I crossed a leg over the other. " Then you leave me with no choice then." He muttered and picked me up, like I weighed nothing. " Put. Me. Down." I muttered through gritted teeth, yet he continued walking to the door. " What if someone sees us li
Knight's POV "I need some guards to resume tomorrow." I told Josh over the phone. " Are you in danger?" He replied. " Not really, I smelt some rats last night and I have to take care of them." I replied with one hand on the phone and another on the window blinds. " This is serious. I'll send five guards tomorrow. You have to make provision for their stay." He said. " Done, do you have any news for me?" I asked. He sighed, and I knew that he was about to tell me a bad news." There was an attack last night at the mall. A sudden fire that couldn't be traced. It took a while before we could douse the fire." " The arsonists? Were there casualties?" " We didn't catch anyone. No, it was late at night, the patrol wolves didn't see anyone." He replied and I cocked my head. This was an attack. " I'll be there in two days." I replied, and we hung up. " Where are you going to?" Aubrey asked, and I turned. " Its rude to eavesdrop." I replied and she folded her arms over her body. Her
