Audrey walked behind May, watching her step. May had kept her gaze in front and didn't even turn to see if Audrey was coming with her or not. She was walking like someone In a hurry and had only stopped when they entered into a big room that was obviously a library. Audrey gasp, looking around. She had never knew about the Library! Everywhere was neat and the books were all neatly arranged. It was obvious that these are ancient books. "Wow!" Audrey says, but still May didn't reply nor look at her. She stopped at one of the book stocks and slowly push a particular book and surprisingly, there was a door! May entered and Audrey followed, still surprised and taken aback about the whole thing. May stopped once she reached a desk. Audrey looked around to notice that this room was filled in with only a few books and the other things are things that seems to be insects in a bottle. All dead and frozen, Audrey saw a toad too. "What is this place?" "My study room. Come over here fo
AUDREY'S POV It's been an hour or so before May returned back to the chambers. When I glance at her, I couldn't help but notice how tired she was. And it was obvious she had cried. I wasn't surprised, cause no matter how much she tell me she was already prepared for this day, there was just no one she could he prepared enough. Especially after finding out that someone in this pack was obviously after her family and who ever it was had started with the Alpha's Father. Who could be next? "May. Are you okay?" I called out her as I sat next to her, she gave a wry smile as she removes the beads around her neck and carefully drop it on the drawer. She went on to bring out another one and wore it. This time, the colour was black. "I'm totally fine. We should go to My brothers chamber. He is expecting visitors, the news of my father's death had spread and the Alpha of the closet pack had visited. Alongside his daughter, I need to show my respect"When I heard her words, it had alm
"What's your name, lad?" I asked, curious to know the name of the young man that was kept under my watch."I'm Brian. You can call me Brian.""I'm Audrey, it's nice meeting you, Brian""Don't infect him with your lousiness, you moron!" She screamed after us. As usual, she was always keen to say something bad about me, no matter how hard I tried to please her. "Okay, ma'am," I replied. "I'll do my best to be a better influence on him."I didn't even know when it flew from my mouth. I had thought about ignoring her instead of saying what exactly was on my mind. "Damn you!" That was what I wanted to say to her initially. I guess my mind was smarter than I thought.As we walked, I held onto Brian's hand very firmly. It was like a mother holding her child whilst walking. It was almost as if I didn't want him to get lost or anything. He didn't seem to have a problem with it though. He just followed like an obedient child. I did hope it was what I was thinking, but I didn't want to be too f
I had already apologized, so I didn't know what else he expected me to do. I wasn't going to kill myself for him to be happy. From the look on his face, he was keen on inflicting pain on me. I knew this because I knew him. Each time he was angry, he usually squinted and clenched his fists. I looked at his hands just to be sure and I was correct. I turned to Brian, who drew closer to me and whispered in my ears. "You weren't even at fault, Audrey. He was. Why's he acting this way? I wouldn't let him hurt you."As much as he cared about me and it was just sweet, he was only going to give the warrior the pleasure of destroying two people instead of one. "Please, stay out of this," I said to him."What are you people talking about?" The warrior asked. I used to know his name, but somehow, I forgot all about it. I guess it wasn't worth remembering, but there was something that I couldn't forget. The sudden pain I felt on my left cheek, courtesy of his palm, landed hard on my face. I never
“Freedom.”The taste of that word sounds so foreign on my tongue..Almost as if I could touch it. as if I could feel it. is it wrong to desire something with so much zeal? All my life, I had never wanted something the way I wanted freedom right now.‘ What?’ Brian asks, shutting the door behind, as he walks deeper into the little compartment. “Let us run away. Better to leave this wretched place and go have a life of your own. Somewhere we are not beaten up for no reason. A place where we are not tortured. Where the obligation of being someone's privilege does not fall on our shoulders. Let us Run Away From Here Brian’He seems to be taking all this information in bits. As though it is all too much for him to comprehend. And even though I respect and understand that; I feel that I don't have much time. I feel that the next person into that door is interested in giving me much more torture than the one I have already received from the daughter of the alpha. Am I ready to have my ribs
‘What the hell are you even talking about?’ I ask my hands falling over my ears as I tried to block out all the noise. It was too much.“Listen to me Audrey. You're not yourself right now. You're acting crazy and I don't know what the hell is wrong with you. Why don't you have a seat right now. Let me take care of you and let us have a conversation. Perhaps about what we are going to do about each other's feelings. You know I like you..’When I look up at him, realization suddenly dawns on me that this is everything I've wanted to hear him say to me. I have never had a guy admit to me that he was interested in me. That he liked me. but why today? Why on the day that I wanted to run away? Why on the day that I was already fed up with the torture that this world threw in my face?‘You like me?’ I ask him failing to believe what I was hearing. this was a dream come true. it was like living in a fairytale of some sort. Girls like me never get such type of Affection? girls like me are neve
‘Maam.. something is terribly…’ the expression that she gives me scares me the most. When they look at each other, I can almost tell that there was a sense of familiarity. A wave of tense air rests in the atmosphere. It makes me afraid.With the little courage and confidence that I had inside, I look up at Anna directly. I know it was a sin to look into her eyes. It was against the rules. She was f****** Royalty for crying out loud. But this was important. I needed her to see the fear in my eyes and not for her but for the man standing in the room with us. She was after all the alpha's daughter. She could very well see emotions like this just as every other werewolf could..‘I believe that Brian..’“Take care of her!’ she speaks up her eyes never flattering away from mind. my lips open with confusion. I stared at her and then back at Brian. None of them flinch. It is there that I realize I have just skipped from the frying pan and Into The Fire.“Any suggestions?” Brian asks a devilis
‘And what are you doing here slave? Did you come to rescue your little girlfriend?’ His voice is filled with mockery. The origin of his question does not surprise me. ‘Girlfriend?’ Brian asks as though with an expression of shock and unexpectancy. There is a pain in my heart at how he had asked that question. At the fact that I really was nothing important to him. But I have not made a difference with this man. I know that I wasn't as important as he has led me to believe. I haven't ever had my heart broken before. I've never even heard affections as deep as this one. I had genuinely grown attached to Brian. To how kind and caring he was to me. The realization that he is a monster. Someone completely different. ‘Yes of course..’ The warrior answered taking a few steps toward Brian. The man didn't even flinch. He did not appear to be bothered with his presence. He seemed well cooperated. Well-prepared. Like he had absolutely nothing to lose in this world. I would be lying if I sai
