AUDREY'S POV

“Good evening, Jaxon.“

“Hi, Audrey.“ He was exhausted, and he sounded like it.

“Do you want to eat? I can throw something together.“

“No.“ He yawned. “Just sit with me a bit.“

“OK.“ I put something on the TV, so the silence wouldn't be uncomfortable. He scooted closer, so he was resting his head on my shoulder.

“Do you want to talk about it?“

“It's nothing. Just the monotony is getting to me. Doing the same thing every day can be very tiring.“

“Tell me about it.“ I sighed.

“What do you use to entertain yourself?“

“In the middle of nowhere?“ I teased.

“Do you want to come live in the pack house then? We can lord it over people together.“ It was a subtle invitation, but I dodged it.

“I don't know the first thing about lording it over people. I'd cry if they didn't do as I said. I don't think that's a good quality in a leader.“

“It isn't.“ He laughed. Our position was intimate, and we were speaking in low tones. Magnus' gray eyes flashed in my mind and I suddenly felt guilty

    AUDREY'S POV. “Audrey?!“ I thought I heard Jaxon's voice. “Jaxon? What are you doing here?“ I was happy to see him because I was dreading having to walk back by myself. “I stopped by the house, and I saw that you weren't back, so I thought I'd come walk you back.“ “Thank you.“ “Let's go.“ “Oh, lest I forget.“ I dragged Paul to Jaxon. “This is Paul. He was incredibly supportive today.“ I gushed. “Alpha Jaxon.“ Paul bowed respectfully. Jaxon didn't say anything. I noticed what caught his attention—me and Paul hand in hand. I quickly dropped his hand. “Paul. Thank your grandfather for me when you see him, yes." “Yes, Alpha.“ “Now be a good little boy and be on your way.“ I frowned at his demeaning tone, but I said nothing about it.I couldn't take it, so I said, What's on my mind? “You didn't have to speak to him that way.““What?“ I could tell I caught him off guard. “Paul. I wanted to introduce you to him because he was so supportive today when he didn't have to be, but the

    ALEXA'S POV. If asked to recount the details of that afternoon, I wouldn't be able to give an accurate response because one minute I was whipping an insolent maid, and the next minute, it was as if a wolf leapt at me. It was not a wolf, however. It was Magnus. I tried tapping and wriggling out of his hand, but I was no match for his gigantic hand. His gray eyes had turned black, and I was seeing spots. I tried to turn, but my wolf suddenly seemed to be in a coma. “Alpha, please, you'll kill her.“ Words filtered into my ears, admonishing him on my behalf. “My Alpha, her death would cause more trouble than she's worth. It would cause war, and you just barely established your reign.“ His beta said: That was when he eventually dropped me. I took a much-needed breath of air, and I coughed violently. The maids made no move to help me. Only looking at me makes me gasp for breath in amusement. “Consider this your last warning.“ Magnus said it as if he just didn't try to kill me. “Mane's

    JAXON'S POV“Do you want to go back to him?“ I asked quietly. I doubted if she heard me. “I…” she hesitated. Why was she hesitating? “You want to, don't you?“ My tone was accusing. “It's not like that.“ I could see tears run down her face. I wanted to console her, but I didn't. Not when she's considering going back to him. “What is it like, then?“ “I can't do it alone.“ She sobbed. “I have no idea of what to do with a baby. What am I going to do? I can't hide his baby from him forever.“ “You remember what he put you through, don't you?“ “I do, but maybe he'd treat me better now that I'm carrying his baby.“ My heart broke all over again at this news. She was carrying his baby. “He will, and can you guarantee that after you give birth, he won't revert to his old ways?“ She mumbled something incoherently. “Plus, Audrey, he's engaged to get married soon.“ I could see that she still loved him from the way her eyes widened at the news of his engagement. “I know.“ She muttered sa

    AUDREY'S POV“Are you really not going to change your mind about working?“ Jaxon asked in a hopeful tone.“No, Jaxon. That's final, okay?“ We both found out that I was pregnant a week ago, and he insisted that I rest. I rested for a week to keep an eye on my reactions, and I stopped retching after food three days ago. Plus, I now have supplements to make sure I'm healthy.“I'm just worried about you and our baby.“ I didn't want to remind him that the baby was Magnus'. I didn't want to ruin the mood.“I'm okay, Jaxon. Thank you. I'll be off now." He even sleeps over now. I'm afraid he's getting too attached. I sound like an ingrate; thousands of single mothers would kill for someone to take responsibility for their baby, and here I am, not wanting him to get attached.There was just something unsettling about the whole thing. I pushed the nagging thought to the back of my mind. I'll worry about it later.“Audrey.“ I grinned and jumped into his outstretched arms.“Paul, it's so good to

    AUDREY'S POV“Let her go, man. Where are you taking her?“ Paul's panicking voice was the first one I heard when I came to my senses.“If you say one more word, I'll rip out your tongue.“ Magnus threatened. I opened my eyes and tried to wriggle out of his arms.“Stay still.“ He commanded.“No. I'm going to scream if you don't let me down.“ I guess he doesn't want to make a scene because, surprisingly, he gently let me down on my feet.“What are you doing?““You ran.“ He accused.“I'm not yours to do with as you wish.““You are until I'm done. Now, you'll go back to your boyfriend and tell him not to say a word of this to anyone or else," he sneered.I didn't need to be told twice. I went back to Paul.“Who is he? Are you okay?“ He met me halfway.“I'm fine. I was just shocked by his appearance.““You don't look safe with him.“ He protested.“I'm fine. He won't hurt me.“ Physically, at least. “But please, don't say a word of this to anyone, okay?““Yeah, sure.““I got you, Audrey.““Whe

I wanted to do this without any confrontation. But that boy toy of hers had to open his big mouth.“Magnus. This is madness. You have to stop this madness right away.“ She shrieked from the back.I can't believe she got pregnant. I know who's going to pay for this transgression of hers.“Shut up, Audrey. Shut up.““Just please listen to me, okay?““No.“ I said it stubbornly and kept driving. The weather was not looking favorable, and I want to get to my territory on time.“I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to."“Run away and get pregnant for my friend."“No. I did mean to run away, but...“Just shut up, Audrey.“You hurt me!“ “Not without reason. You betrayed me. What did you think would happen? I would come back, and we'd go back to the way we were. You rejected me, Audrey. I was at the lowest point in my life, and you turned your ba

I knew you'd come to your senses.“ My father smiled in satisfaction.“What?“ His words weren't adding up, but I just wanted to save the love of my life.“I'm happy you agree with me. I'll see to it right away that he gets released.““Thank you?“ Somehow, it didn't feel right to thank him.“Anything for my daughter.“****PRESENT DAY“That was why I rejected you. I thought I was saving you.“His silence made me nervous. I don't know what he's thinking, and that worries me a lot.“Magnus ? Say something, please.“"I..." he stood up and paced the room. “I had no idea.““Yeah, that was the point. I knew you'd never agree to it, but I had to make sure you didn't get killed.“He kneeled in front of me and held my hand. “Thank you.“ Hearing those words from him triggered another round of tears.“For?““I do need you to let you know something. I think your father misled you on purpose. I was suspected of treason. There was no evidence. The punishment was to be banishe

    AUDREY'S POV “You're not going to marry her, are you?“He dropped what he was doing and came over to me. I wondered when I was going to get food.“Audrey, baby. I'm going to do everything in my power to get out of this, I promise.““You promise?““Yes. It's a delicate matter because, you know, she's Jaxon's sister. There's the matter of your situation with Jaxon, too. I don't want to start a war. I mean, the guy is in love with you.“I snorted. “No, he isn't. Does he like me? Yes, but love? That's taking it too far.““A guy who only likes you will take responsibility for a baby that's not his own? Wake up, Audrey.“I said nothing to that. “When will the food be ready?"“In a few minutes.“ True to his words, I was served a few minutes later. I gobbled it up, and he only looked on in amusement.“What?“ I asked with a mouthful of pasta.“Nothing. It's just. I missed you.“I squeezed his hand before going back to my food.“We will leave first thing in the morning. We will be there befor

We won't give him one.""So we are not attacking him?""We definitely are.""I'm confused, Alpha.""It's simple. We are still going to go with the strategy you drafted, except that I'll go in first. Distract him.""Oh. That's much better; the spy said he's getting passports done, so we know he's leaving soon, and he will be at his pack.""Exactly." I stood up, battle-ready. "Let's get a move on then. I would hate to miss him.""Yes, Alpha.""I'll go first. Lead the men and meet me there.""Yes, Alpha." I got in my car and drove off. This was the third time I was traveling this route in months, and I hope this will be the last time I'm going with fear and uncertainty in my heart.If our plan works, then this will be an easy win.

    JAXON'S POVI brought her back to the old place where it all started. The house at the edge of the pack was where she hid when she was still in her right senses. When she still saw Magnus for the hypocrite that he is,"Why are we here?" She was even more beautiful than before."You will see.""Is my baby in here?""Do you want to see for yourself?" Why was I answering her questions with a question?I pushed the door open. "I fixed the door. You know the one Magnus threw me into?""Jaxon, I really am not interested. I don't feel sorry for you or anything. I just want to see my baby. How hard is that to comprehend?""I'm sorry, my lady." He smirked. He finds her adorable with her smart mouth. "Your baby is right up ahead."She climbed the stairs and went into his room. There was the baby. There was a maid with him."Who are you?" She jumped up."His mother, that's who. Get out.""No, Alpha Jaxon said...""I don't care what Jaxon said. Get the fuck away from my son." She yelled at him. I

I handed him the note Audrey left me. Soon after, Estelle joined me too."What's happening?" He showed her the note. "Oh Goddess." She groaned."What?" We both turned to her. "Do you know something?""She suddenly wanted to be alone yesterday. This might be what she was plotting.""Why didn't you say something?""I didn't think it was important. I didn't know she was planning anything. I'm sorry."I relented. "There was no way you could have known." Mane said."She obviously got a letter." "What?" We turned to her again. "What are you talking about?""She said she was going to be long gone, meaning she knew where she was going.""That's not hard to guess. She's going to go to the Blue Moon Pack.""Jaxon would not go back to his pack with a baby. No one is that stupid. He must still be nea

    AUDREY'S POVLAST NIGHT"Where are the men now?" I asked Estelle. It was a rhetorical question. I didn't expect her to know."Last I heard, they were searching all the empty houses.""Why?""They say there is a possibility that the kidnapper might still be on ground." My nerves spiked up. "Is it possible?""I don't want us to put our hopes up." She said gently. "I believe the Alpha will do everything he can to bring him home.""I know."About twenty minutes later, I left her to go back upstairs. We came down earlier to see what was happening."What is happening?" I pulled one of the guards aside."The Alpha got injured.""What?""He is at the physician's already.""Oh No. Is he okay?" I couldn't afford to lose my husband either."Yes, Luna. He might be unconscious for a while because he was hit pretty badly.""Thank you for scaring her, you jerk." Estelle sneered at him, and I patted her hand."Can I go see him?""No, Luna. I have strict orders to keep you here.""I see." I sighed. "

Was I really ready to tell him my life story?“You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.“ He said. It wouldn't hurt to tell someone.“No, it's cool. What did you ask again?““I want to know why you have never felt at home anywhere.““So my parents died in my last year of high school. Rogue attack or something like that. I stayed with a friend of theirs until I could leave for college. The point is, I've always been on the move. I never stay in the same place long enough to feel at home there.““I see.“ What did he see? “It sounds like an eventful life.““A sad, eventful life.““My life has been very boring. There's nothing spectacular about my life. My father

Same as the third.“All clear, Alpha.“ I was beginning to think this was a futile effort.We reached Audrey's old house.“Do you know where this is?“ I said to Mane.“No, Alpha.““This is Audrey's old house. This was where she lived for the first twenty years or so of her life.““Oh. Are we checking it?““It's not necessary. I still send maids to clean this place out regularly.““Yes, Alpha.“We moved on from the house.“Alpha.“ One of the guards caught up with us.“Yes.““I think I saw a curtain move.““Are you sure?“ Mane asked.“Well, why didn't you say anything?““I'm sorry, Alpha.““It won't hurt to check it out.“ I directed them to go back.“I don't have the key, shit.““We could break it down.“ Mane suggested.I thought about it for a while.

That is exactly what she feared. You would have waged war against them. She just gave birth. I'm sure she doesn't want to see the father of her child injured or, worse, dead.“I thought about that. He was right. “What do you suppose I do now?““Wait it out. Let's wait for the search party to come back. We will join them in the morning and lead the search party to Blue Moon Pack.““Hmm. We can do that.““The kidnapper has the advantage of the night. Besides, the person might still be in the pack.““You think so?““I feel strongly about that.““Hmm.“ I went back to the office.

What are you cooking?““Just some soup for the guards.““Give me some.“ I don't know why I was suddenly craving soup.“Yes, Luna.“ I sat on the stool and waited for her to set up the dish. “Here you go.““Thank you.“I slurped up the soup, and I was surprised by how tasty it was. “This is delicious, Elsa. How come you never make soup for us?“She smiled. “I didn't think you would like it, Luna.““Well, I do.“ I smiled. “Please include it in the meal plan.““Yes, Luna.“ I took a big swig of water.

I wish there was a way I could see her reaction when she got the gift. Would it be too much if I fashioned a secret camera into the jewelry?It's too late, anyway.
