With my hands planted firmly on my waist, I stared confusedly at the two crying babies in front of me and no matter what I did or said to calm them down, nothing seemed to be working. Seemingly Lost in confusion and not knowing what to do, I tried hard to comfort the crying babies in front of me but they instead laid, crying tirelessly that at a point, I did not know what else to do for they could not stop crying. I carried one of them in my arms and began to rock it gently, the other laid in the crib built for the two babies. I continued this way, giving turns to each of them as I held them in my arms attempting to get them to fall asleep but they wouldn’t. That did little to make them quit though and I grew frustrated but I knew I could not give up. I had tons of work to do, a lot of paperwork also and the thought of attending to those immediately after dropping these kids filled me with so much tiredness that I felt I would drop dead. Since the takeover from Jacob, there
**Audrey's POV**“Jacob Huxley!” I cried out my mate’s name as hot tears began rolling down my face, burning my cheeks. How could he possibly do this to me? To make matters worse, even after yelling out his name, he still didn’t stop what he was doing. Instead I was made to watch with blurry eyes as He continued slamming himself into the body of a lady who was supposedly my ‘best friend.’ “Elora!” I yelled at her, hoping that maybe she would at least be different, maybe she would do better, she was my best friend for fucks sake!“Oh, shut up!” She snarled back; her eyes looked angry, she was obviously irritated by me and it shocked me.Jacob slowly got off her, pulled on his pants and turned to look at me. My heart immediately sank at the expression in his loath filled eyes, for he looked at me like I was some sort of shit, some burden He has been forced to carry.Fresh tears sprang into my eyes when I thought of the effort I had put into choosing my outfit this morning simply beca
**Audrey's POV**I returned to the pack house, with the sole aim of going straight to my room and sleeping… probably. It had been a long day, after all, and it wasn't as if I was feeling particularly happy right now. I could feel the harsh glare of some werewolves watching me walk by, but I ignored them, entered my room and shut the door gently behind me. I understood that most people wondered why the Alpha's daughter was an omega when both parents were strong wolves with high rankings. It wasn't my fault though, it wasn’t my fault that the moon goddess had decided to make me this way. It wasn't my fault that I preferred being a normal teenage girl to the flash and luxury that came with being a princess, but despite all that, I had never for once felt like I was any different from anyone in this pack.I hoped to wake up the next day knowing what the future held for me. I wanted to wake up with a feeling of bliss, and a life that went so smoothly, I wouldn’t have to worry too much
**Jacob's POV**“What did you do to Audrey that made her disrespect me in the most annoying way possible?” My father yelled the second I walked into the living room.I shut the door behind me and gave him a confused look. What was he talking about, and why would Audrey disrespect him? Was she out of her mind or what?“Father, I don't understand what you're talking about.” I let out a sigh.“Didn't Audrey leave the palace to meet you today?” He asked, his eyes boring into mine.“Yes, she did, but we got into a fight.” I answered.“I knew it, what did you do?” He startled, staring intently at me as if he knew the next thing I was going to say even before I said it.“I rejected her.” I answered.“What!”“She was just so annoying and unbearable and I had to do it. Besides, I never needed her anyway. Eventually, you'd become Alpha, and I'd be your heir.” I replied, smirking.I could see the effects my words had on my father, for almost immediately his frown vanished, replaced by a bright
**Audrey's POV**“You cheated on me, insulted and called me names, and then you had the guts to join forces with your father to betray my family?!” I yelled and punched him as the picture of my mother's dead body flashed before my eyes. It infuriated me more that my punches felt like weak foams against his hard chest, making me weep in both frustration and anger as I continued punching him, each hit harder than the rest.He grabbed my wrists and pushed me to the ground. “Do not piss me off,” He snarled.I watched as the two of them fought, biting and tearing each other’s flesh into pieces, creating a messy streak of blood on the floor. Soldiers started firing their guns frantically, I wasn’t sure if it was in a bid to stop dad’s Beta or in a bid to stop dad, but the gunshots resonated loudly and violently, I wanted to block my ears.A particular soldier’s bullet struck my father in the chest, making him topple to the floor in agony. Before I could say or do anything, I felt somethi
**Audrey's POV**"She's the one." Jacob snarled, pointing a crooked finger at me while the huge man whose scent seemed to be attacking my nostrils stared at me with a brooding expression on his face.I silently hoped that it was just my imagination, and that Jacob wasn't trying to sell me.But as soon as the thought crossed my mind, he asked; "How much are you willing to give?" I wasn’t sure if it was the way he said it or the look on both of their faces but I instantly felt my breath hitch in my chest.The man seemed hesitant, but after a few moments, said "fifty hundred.""Well I’d take that, seeing as she’s really not important in my pack." He murmured under his breath while pointing to me disdainfully.I felt hurt, as if he had just stabbed me in the heart.Nothing he did surprised me anymore, yet this was the height of it, the fact that he wanted to sell me and was bargaining my price like I was worth nothing hurt.I suddenly wanted to scream at him. To make him understand that h
**Audrey's POV**My nostrils were immediately assaulted with a kind of sweet smelling smell that I couldn’t quite comprehend. It smelled of a blend of every sweet thing you could ever imagine and I had to sniffle continuously to find its source, thinking it was Caleb;But unfortunately, I didn’t see where it came from.I silently trudged behind the big guy who walked right in front of me with a thick rope clasped in his hands. The thick rope was connected to my wrists which were tied together like that of a typical slave.He slowly got into a large sleek looking truck that was parked right in front of Caleb’s palace and pulled at the rope until I begrudgingly got in the back seat with him. A few minutes after we had settled into the car, it drove off the curb and into the street. I was so confused, and didn’t know what to think. I wasn’t sure if he was actually going to kill me or not or of he would decide to make me a slave in his own kingdom The same way Caleb had enslaved me.Th
**Kaden's POV.****8 Hours Ago*******I knew I didn't need a slave, I already had too much of them in my palace oanyways, yet this alpha managed to convince me in getting one.I bought her reluctantly and I was shocked by the meager amount of money he was selling her for.Though, I knew that that wasn't the main reason I had bought her. I had already seen her face.When I walked into the room, all eyes were on me, I'm not sure why but it always did that.It was like my presence was enough to make Everyone held their breaths and stared at me like there was something on my head beside my crown..But my eyes were on her when she came in, I couldn't look away.There was something I couldn't quite place my hands on about her; I knew she was weak, just by setting my eyes on her, the energy she gave off was low.Her beauty was mesmerizing, and her vibrant red hair, and blue eyes almost seemed to be dead, drawing anyone that looked at her eyes.They seemed to hold secrets and stories in t

Audrey's POVFeeling happy and fulfilled that I had fulfilled my words and that I had been able to Kill Jacob in the exact way I had imagined it, I smiled to myself thinking of how this was the first time I felt like I had done something worth deserving as I stared down at his decapitated body which was now covered in a of his own blood, and could vividly see the hole I made on his heart.A smile got stuck on my lips and I couldn't let it go. I allowed it, wondering why Ian had this weird stare on me."You finally killed the predator, after being the prey for so long. You're taking over the predator's land." I muttered to myself as I stared at his blood dripping neck, making trails as I walked, I wanted them to see that I had killed Jacob and ended his reign of terror and destruction.I walked out to the corridor where she listened to the silent gasps and the scared look on the faces of the people.I held the head in my hands and showed it to the people."This marks the end of this he
Audrey's POVI knew Jacob was a bit surprised that I had smiles all over my face, despite the fact that he had a knife pressed on my neck.He was a bit stubborn and I wondered what I would say to him that would make him move the knife away from my neck despite all the white lies I had told him. It was a little confusing to watch him and the cynical smile on his face and at the same time, I was bothered because I knew he was psychotic and could do anything."You could just remove this knife, I would surely guarantee your safety." I said quietly as he pressed the knife deeper into my neck, it was hurting but I couldn't let out a tear, knowing that it would mean defeat and I hated being defeated by clumsy enemies such as Jacob. "Do you expect me to believe you?" He retorted sharply as he pressed the knife, adding a little force to it. When he wasn’t watching, I tilted my head slowly, in a bid to pull my neck away from the sharp blade. "Come on, you have my word, I would surely beg Kad
Kaden's POVI loved the fact that Logan had to turn against his pack, knowing fully well that Jacob turned them against him. Having killed some of his men, Logan grew tired of killing and felt like setting it amicably.They surrounded him as he let down his guard, he told his men to do the same as they all stopped fighting, Jacob's soldiers were afraid, I guess filled with that thought that they were just leading them to a trap."Why won't you fight us?" The Chief guard questioned as the guard paved the way for him to walk through. "I can't, we can keep on wasting our strength on each other when the real devil is up there watching us." Logan explained, wondering how Logan tends to make this work, it would be hard and it might get ugly. "What do you mean?" The Chief guard was confused. "Jacob is a man that would surely have you all killed if need be. He wouldn't hesitate to threaten the lives of your family if you dare flout his orders" Logan uttered, wearing a smile on his face, ho
Kaden's POVI felt uneasy, knowing that I had my reservations with Audrey's plot, but I had to give in, she had it all planned out and now that I thought about it, mine had loopholes.If we had attacked Jacob as I planned, he would have escaped or better still led us into one of his unforseen traps which would leave us in jeopardy; harming my men, weakening my manpower and having a strong hold on my resources.But with Audrey's plot, she handles on the inside, while we take care of his men outside which would make everything even and provide Jacob with an extremely slim chance of escaping or having to use someone as bait while trying to escape. "I just hope Audrey succeeds with her plan, I'll take care of these ones here with my own plan," I muttered to myself, knowing that my men were also waiting for my signal.I assured myself, rigging off every fear and trying to remain at peace as I waited for a signal to show that Audrey was in trouble. For now though, I hadn't felt any pa
AUDREY’S POVI waited for Jacob’s reply to my sarcastic but true comment about the palace but it did not come, the intent of it had not fazed him a bit I noticed and I began to wonder what went on through his mischievous mind. Jacob gently placed his arm around my back and I flinched at the feel of his strong arms around me but let him guide me to a chair close to his throne. Surprisingly he had not still said anything in reply to the view I had concerning the place, perhaps he had sensed the sarcasm in my voice even though I suspected that he knew what I said was true. He acted really sweet towards me while I acted according to the script I was writing in my mind.I sat down calmly on the chair he had offered me and he sat on the enormous throne. We started to talk and he asked about my trip there, asking if I had any troubles on my way. I sweetly replied to him, not forgetting to remind him of how I was capable of taking care of myself. I wondered why he and Kaden always felt that
Audrey’s POVDespite the anger I felt coursing through my veins and spiking up my nerves, I managed to force a smile as the soldier who stood guard at the door to the throne room opened the huge doors for me to pass through. I stepped into the room slowly as if expecting to be met with some kind of trap and then stopped at some point to take my first real glance at the expanse of the room and the striking view ahead of me. I marveled at the sheer beauty it emitted but couldn’t help but think about how it had lost its shine. The palace, even though ancient as it was, was one of the most mesmerizing views I had ever had the pleasure of seeing. It looked different from what I remembered it to be; the structures were getting old, the decorations were fading out, and what made the room gorgeous most was no longer there – the glitter of people laughing and cheering happily nonstop, in love and harmony.The memory of how the palace used to be filled with love and glamor when it was still m
Audrey's POVI sat with my hands folded in front of me as I had become more than a little tense due to how much I was wondering what Kaden wanted to tell me that made him keep me in a weird suspense. I hated the fact that my heart raced, hoping that the news wouldn't affect me, or have anything to do with Kaden or Shantel but then from the expression on his face, it was difficult to ascertain if the news coming was a bad one or a good one. I gulped.Filling my head with irrelevant thoughts, I was getting confused as I felt someone holding my left palm, Shantel tilted her head upwards and down, assuring me that all would be fine. I hearkened to her with the evidence of doubt still writhing in me."You're making me uneasy, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" I stuttered as Kaden bowed his head down as he said in a low tone;"I can't tell you, when she's around. She has to leave us, it's personal and urgent.""That won't be possible, Shantel says. If I deserve to listen to this new
Audrey's POVI hated the fact that I had soiled my fingers trying to take down a guard, knowing that this was a test to show my strength and skills which I knew I didn't have. I just wanted to be able to fight off my enemies with my hands and legs in combat, which would be to my advantage and would come in handy whenever I would need to protect myself, knowing fully well that this was dark times and that Kaden's soldiers were dying in their numbers.It was hard to believe it, but they would just go missing and their dead body would be found, wondering what he was planning or his plans on how to catch this culprit that has murdered many men. I knew this was a plot to reduce Kaden's man power, and it was working effectively. Jacob knew this, and was using it to his advantage. "You're doing quite well, keep it up" Shantel said to me even though I knew I wasn’t doing any good. I knew that she was only being helpful, the smile on her face said the words she was hiding. This was her wa
