Mr. Knight's POV

" Don't pour him another glass." Aubrey's voice permeated the air and the bartender stopped pouring the glass. I was annoyed at her audacity. How dare she come here and try to make orders?

I growled in warning and the bartender wore a conflicted look on his face, he didn't know who to obey.

" Don't make me do something drastic." Aubrey narrowed her gaze at him causing him to be afraid and I looked at her.

She was dressed in stilettos and a flaming red gown. It was as if she was going to a party. This tiny woman putting fear in a full-grown man's heart was so amusing. She jutted her chin daring him to disobey her.

The bartender shot me a pleading look and I decided to come to his rescue. " You can leave."

" But sir..."

" Leave." I replied. I was the only patron today.

He picked up his keys in a hurry and rushed off not before shoving them in Aubrey's hands before exiting.

We were thrown into silence and I poured myself the drink. Her heels clicked towards me but I

    Mr. Knight's POVDread mixed with regret filled the pit of my stomach when I read the contents of the letter that Aubrey wrote. "Dear, Mr. Knight, it's with deep regret that I write this note to you. Staying with you has been a wonderful experience and I wish that it could continue but due to reasons best known to you, we are finally apart. I want you to know that I regret uttering those words to you. It was because I was afraid to let you make decisions for me. I wish you all the best.” Love- Aubrey. It wasn't that long but I felt the emotion in the note she wrote and my wolf howled inside of me, berating me for allowing his mate to go away when I could stop it. He wanted to see his mate. He gnawed at the back of my skull trying, but I fought against him. when he saw that he didn't win, he howled in my head and whispered despicable of me. I didn't reply him because he had every right to. Let her experience life and if she decides to return, she is highly welcome. I told him. Un

    Mr. Knight's POVAnna flew out of his embrace the moment she saw me. She grappled for momentum as she smothered her skirt to sort out the creased lines present. She patted her tangled hair. " Good to see you too, brother. Stop fidgeting." He scolded Anna who went still at his rebuke.It looked surreal to me, but I schooled my features and watched their interaction. Their gazes fell on me in anticipation as they expected me to explode. But I smiled inwardly. That shows how negligent I was not to notice that my reliable P. A and my brother were having an affair. George rose to his feet and I looked at him. He was the most stubborn of my mother's children and seeing him here only spelled one thing, " Trouble is here." "I'm sorry if you feel awkward seeing my pretty girlfriend and me making out on your couch." He said with a smug smile. It was only Anna who had the decency to be bashful. Her head was bowed and all I could think of was how long this had been happening and no one bother

    Aubrey's POV This was what I wanted, to leave the place where I was confined. The place I felt like he was watching each of my movements, but why was I missing it now? That hot gaze sent a tingle down my spine and made me feel so safe. Why was I missing the warmth of his embrace? And that smile of his, the one that makes me weak in the knee. Why do I feel like I shouldn't be here like I am in the wrong place? I bumped into an old woman and apologized immediately. She shot me a glare and walked away muttering something that I couldn't catch. I sighed before looking for a place to sit. I spotted a cafe shop not far from where I stood and walked over. A bell jingled as I closed the door. The tantalizing smell of coffee beans teased my nose making my mouth water. Only a few people were occupying the place. I went to the table at my left not far from the door and overlooking the busy street. I sat down and looked outside the big window. People walked past their various workplaces, ca

    Aubrey's POV " Who is that?" Alexis called from within and I arched backward. " Uh, a neighbor. I will be back soon." I told her and stepped out of my room. I didn't want her in the room because it was going to beget questions from the inquisitive Alexis. With Josh's presence, adding Claire to the mix was going to fuel her curiosity and we can't have her knowing these things. " Why are you here?" Claire looked at me, " You promised to help me talk to Declan, but you haven't." She said. "Uh... We are no longer together. So I guess both of us are in the same shoes." I replied. A glimmer of satisfaction shone in her eyes and I remembered Meg's warning, " What did you do this time?" She asked.I looked at her, how did she know that?" Pardon me?" I asked and she shook her head." It's nothing, I was just wondering about how to reach him. I saw Josh leave this place not long ago." She said and I looked at her.Was she watching me? " Oh, no, I was just passing by in the neighborhood

    Aubrey's POV " Are you kidding me?" Alexis asked in surprise after I finished telling her what transpired between Miss Bella and me." She is beautiful, why does she want a married man?" She asked me. I shrugged, " I don't know. I was in complete shock when she told me." I replied and shook my head to get rid of the image of the venomous look Bella had. " She threatened me." "There should be a way for us to report this to the school." She said and placed her hand on her waist. " What do you say?" She asked.I shrugged, " I don't think she will follow through with her threat. She might have said it in the heat of anger." I replied. I was surely going to report but I didn't want Alexis to be aware of it. Alexis shook her head in disbelief at my statement, " I don't believe you. That wasn't a mistake it was a very intentional statement. Who knows what she is capable of? What if she fails you? Make you resit exams continually or send people after you? What if she tries to attack you?"

Did he leave a name?" She asked excitedly and I rolled my eyes. She was happy for free food. Didn't she know that not all free things are profitable? " No, he said that he's a friend."" That's...." I nudged her hard and smiled at the waitress, "Thank you." I said. The waitress walked back to her position, and I looked at the croissants. I'd never experienced a stranger buying me things before, " Do you think we- I should take this?" I asked Alexis who was enjoying her pint of ice cream. " Well, it's not like he can poison you. He only paid for what you ordered and added an extra. What's the big deal?" She shrugged. " You are a freeloader." Her mouth fell into a pout and she placed a hand on her chest, " That's so heartbreaking. I never expected you to say that." I rolled my eyes at her theatrics,

She asked and I didn't say anything. " Are you sure that you're okay?" She asked me. Her face filled with concern. " Yeah, I'm good. I just need to make some calls." I told her and she nodded, her gaze fixated on me in concern. She didn't believe me but I didn't have the time to convince her." Okay," She replied and I walked a few steps away to be out of ear shots." Hello, Josh." I called the first person who came to my mind. He was the best person to inform. It was you direct to be a coincidence, " I think I have a stalker." I told him. " You don't say." He replied. Then I narrated everything that had happened, " What do you think?" I asked him. He sighed, "I should have known. I told him that it was a terrible idea." He said and I scrunched my brows. " Told him what? Known what?" I probed. " I

    Aubrey's POV Ellie walked into the house and Alexis rose to her full height. " Ellie, right? Your friend?" She asked. "Hmm." I nodded as she walked in. It was then I noticed her small overnight bag. " Who brought you?" I inquired and she looked at me. " He's downstairs?" I whispered and comported myself when I saw that Alexis was staring at me deeply, " Okay, come in. You must be tired." I said and she followed me into a spare room." You can stay here." I said and watched her drop her bag on the floor gently. " I'll bring some towels for you right now." " Don't bring them yet. My father misses you, he wants you to come back." I sighed, " Jumping right into the heart of the matter, are we?" I asked and she nodded, " Let me check up on my friend and I'll come back." I told her. I didn't want Alexis to feel bad, I noticed that Ellie didn't respond to her cheerfulness earlier. She was not in the living room and I heard a faint noise coming from the kitchen. Could it be that she was

I stood in front of Amber, eyeing her suspiciously.“What do you want?” I asked her, my gaze was intent on her and I made sure to keep my distance.“Not here, can we go for a stroll?” she askedI kept quiet, I didn't want to be alone with her and I was very reluctant to go on a stroll with her. I couldn't trust her.“Please,” she said,“We are in a public place if you are worried about being alone with me.” She said, with a helpless smile on her face.I sighed, I really did not want to go with her, but I had to hear what she had to say. Reluctantly, I decided to follow her." Have a seat." She ushered but I refused, and she rolled her eyes, " Really, Aubrey? Do you really think I am here to harm you?" She asked and we sat down by a bench.I looked around a bit, scanning the surroundings to make sure that this place was public enough. As if reading my mind, Amber chuckled,

Hey," I whispered when I opened my eyes and saw Mr. Knight staring at me with laughter in his eyes." It's noon." I stretched my hands. I was thoroughly plowed, in a good way though, the sheets fell from my body and I picked it up immediately." Are you still painfully shy?" He asked and I gave him a look. Of course, I was still shy, " You weren't shy last night." He teased and I felt my face grow hot indicating that I was highly embarrassed."Don't remind me." " You were begging for more. I can still remember you saying, harder! harder!" He mimicked my voice." I don't sound like that." He shrugged, " Well, that was what I heard, It's cute though." He said and I stared at him." Yeah, yeah, you'd do anything to get into my pants." He grinned widely, " Is it working?" He wiggled his eyebro

He was very happy saying it." What if I don't want to be tied to you, Mr. Knight?" I feigned annoyance and he chuckled as he rose to his feet and walked towards me." I know that's a lie. One of the proudest things I own is your heart." He said smugly and drew me closer to his body, more tingles ran through my body as I stared at him, he spoke with utmost confidence. " You are really full of yourself mister." I said, not bothering to deny the obvious fact. " Aren't you scared that I might leave you one of these days?" I said and he growled loudly.The sound didn't scare me anymore. It was an empty threat but he didn't have to know. What's a little love

I asked him. if I had known the gift, maybe I could understand what was going on with Amber." To see visions. Do you have them?" She asked and I shook my head. I had never had flashes, that was what they were called right? " I think you inherited your father's trait then because that's the only explanation I can give." " Okay," I replied, I still had doubts in my mind, " are you sure that I am completely human, and there's no mutation lurking in me?" I asked. " I would have known since you were little." He answered and I stared at him softly. " What's the way forward?" I asked.He stared at me in confusion as he tried to understand what I was talking about. " I mean, now that the burial is out of the way and whatnot, what's the next step? What plans do you have for me?" " What would you like to do?" " I would like to return to college, I know it's not safe

I guess it's in the open now." He said and I stared at him, he didn't seem ashamed one bit, and I found it admirable.He heaved a deep sigh which spoke volumes, and rubbed his face to get rid of the tiredness that sat in his eyes.I couldn't imagine how he was feeling, bottling all of that up for so long. My feet trudged toward him, he opened his arms widely and I walked into him, his large arms enclosing me in his warmth. I rested slowly on his chest and shook my head. How was it possible that he was hurting deeply and still wanted to protect me? These were the little things that comforted me and made me know that he loved me very much, "I hope you're doing fine? It'll soon be over." He said.I shook my head, " Sometimes, I wonder if I am not making a big mistake." I began, I was a firm believer of speaking the

    Aubrey's POVA week later,"We are gathered at the burial of our beloved brother, friend, father, son, colleague to usher him into the great beyond today. We wish that the circumstances were different but we cannot help it." The priest said. The air was solemn and Mr. Knight rubbed my back. I was breathing hard seeing George's body in the sand, the only thought that came to my mind. He was killed because of me. I understood that this was a dogged arena and it got me thinking. Would things have been different, if he had exercised some patience? I didn't want to die too, but why couldn't we just have it all? Helen's eyes dug into my flesh like daggers and I didn't blame her for a second, a lot of us would have done the same. Hell, I would be more angry if it was my sister who was killed indiscriminately because of a so-called mate, so I didn't blame her one bit. " May the family step forward?" The priest said and Mr. Knight, Helen, Josh, Meg, and Ellie stepped forward.Mr. Knight si

How can you even say that?" She scoffed, " I'm challenging you, what will you do? Beat me up? Tie me up? Tell me what exactly." She spat again.I could see his fur ruffling, " Tell your sister to get the fuck out of my house." He stated, his muscles expanded in the white shirt and I knew that he was stopping himself from doing something stupid. When I didn't move, he growled and I jumped into action. I pulled my sister out of the house and she stared at me, "What are you doing?" " Can't you see the way he's controlling you? You jumped at his growl, who the hell scares his girlfriend? He wants to turn you into a sex slave." She exclaimed and I sighed. He didn't tolerate any slander against me regardless of who it was coming from so I wasn't also going to tolerate Amber speaking to him in that way. "Listen

He called as if he was very surprised to see me, as he walked closer to me.He hugged me and I felt pain in my neck as he squeezed it hard, I wasn't expecting him to hug me tight. My bones ached causing me to wonder what happened to me. " What happened to me?" I asked and he looked at me, " Was I shot?" I inquired again. That was the last thing I remembered but I wasn't bleeding so I knew that I probably escaped. "No, you weren't."He replied, but you passed out due to the shock from the attack. " The attacker was apprehended." He raised his brows upwards, "Thankfully," He replied, " I am so glad that you are awake. goodness! when I saw you fall, a part of me died a brutal death." He said.
