Audrey’s POV:“No, get away from me!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I sprung out of bed.I jerked awake, panting like I had just run a marathon and glanced around myself only to discover that I was still in my room and on my bed, and not in the makeshift pack I’d seen myself in only a few minutes ago… in my dreams.My lacy nightie was soaked through and through with sweat and even my limbs still shook, probably due to how fast I’d been running in my dreams.“How’s this even possible?” I muttered, slapping against my chest and stomach looking for signs of the cut I had sustained but sighed when I felt nothing.The hell?I’d just awoken from a nightmare, a nightmare where I was being chased around by a fire spitting Shantel who had somehow managed to morph into something that was neither a beast nor a werewolf but was scary all the same. At one point, she had almost killed me but I’d barely escaped when some sort of force had made me spring up from my bed.The nightmare shook me
Audrey’s POV: The excitement of feeling stronger waned and was replaced with irritation when I remembered the position I’d met Kaden and Shantel in. Whenever I closed my eyes or even blinked, I would see them embracing, would see how close they’d been with their arms circled around each other and it still made me see red. Pure red rage. …and I hated Kaden for it. Hated that he had the ability to make me feel different strong emotions and could also use it to his advantage. I also hated that he didn’t feel any form of remorse for what he’d done. He didn’t try to explain, neither could he even look me in the eye. After my hands had totally healed themselves, I pushed the door open, stormed inside my room and slammed the door shut behind me with so much force. It shook on its hinges but I paid no attention to it instead it only seemed to fuel my anger even more. My mind was everywhere, and my brain was too fogged up with anger to care about anything else. All I cared about was a w
Audrey’s POV: “Audrey…!” Ian called out to me again and this time I jerked awake, letting out a blood curdling scream. It was as if his voice had penetrated through the dark fog around my head and had pulled me out of that peaceful place I’d wanted to sink into. I slowly turned around, ready to snarl at him for scaring me the way he did but as soon as I saw him… and the condition he was still in, I held my tongue, feeling sorry for him. He was still wrapped in bandages, probably from that attack days ago and his face was swollen in such a way that it almost seemed botched. His eyes were dark and reddish and had dark circles around them. For a minute, I almost imagined it to be a costume until I noticed the broken flesh by the side of his lips. “Ian…” I gasped, “how? What happened? How did you get this…” my voice trailed off as I couldn’t come up with any decent words to describe how he looked. He seemed to understand my unvoiced thoughts and said nothing. Instead, he limped over
Kaden's POV:"I know you've got lots of documents to handle, why don't you go handle them and come back later while I sort these documents out." I said whilst avoiding Adler’s stare."Are you indirectly saying I should give you some space? Sending me out of your office" Adler retorted sharply, he understood exactly what my words meant, yet he asked me rhetorical questions.I knew the best way to get Adler out of my office, and he hated this so much that he wouldn't hesitate to leave my officeI stared at him for minutes, gathering my words and phrases, looking for the right words that would sink directly into his head. "You know sometimes I feel there's a nut stuck in your brain that needs to be removed. You act like a wise man sometimes and the other days you're a total nutcase. It's quite difficult to ascertain if you’re really okay or not." "I would be leaving now. '' Adler said quickly, but before I could say a word, he walked out of my office. I knew Adler hated being insulted,
Jacob's POV:She moaned, but I wasn’t sure if it was out of pleasure or pain but I didn’t care. All I cared about was getting myself sated.I smiled to myself, thinking of how thrilling it’s been to taste the bud of this beautiful maid. It was quite a thrilling experience to me, knowing that she would be killed today. I definitely wouldn't want anyone telling Elora about my infidelity, it would be disastrous and would surely spoil my plans… the reason I always killed every one of the girls I slept with.They were just maids who naturally became history due to their social status, and this one was just one of them. With these evil thoughts swarming I’m my head, I pulled her hair and fisted it, watching her cry out in pain as if she already knew that today was her last day on earth. It's quite intriguing deciding the day everyone dies, I am their master and I own them even until death, so killing them is a method of justification to me. Pleasuring myself, covering my tracks, these ar
Audrey’s POV:I helped Ian to walk as we both took a stroll in the orchard, for he was still recovering but slowly so from the poison that he had taken. He was strong but the poison had taken a huge toll on him and that made his recovery slow paced. We talked as we both took precise steps according to his rhythm and rested any time he ran out of breath and seemed too tired to carry on. I was patient with him because I knew the condition he was in and because he was my friend. After all the hurdles we both had been through, I was surprised that we were able to establish a good friendship and somehow, I was grateful to have him as a friend, it felt really good.As we continued to walk now in silence for some minutes, I drifted off in my thoughts and Ian noticed that and became quite curious of what ran through my mind. He almost seemed like he could openly see my train of thoughts like it reflected on my face and so he became concerned as the friend he now was. Pausing for a moment,
Audrey’s POV:When Kaden got to where Ian and I stood holding hands, the first thing he did was to rip my hand out of Ian’s hold. This pissed me off instantly and fora moment, I simply stood there, panting staring back angrily at Kaden who said nothing also but stood breathing heavily. I finally let out my anger and lashed out at him.“Hey, what the hell is your problem, Kaden? Why did you do that and why the hell are you even acting this way!?” I scolded Kaden with my voice high pitched, almost screaming at him.“What do you mean by what am I doing?” Kaden shot back at me.“I don’t know what you’re trying to do but you just are interrupted a peaceful moment I was having here with my friend.” I said angrily to him.“Nonsense!” He shot back at me again, this time without looking at me but at Ian who stood helplessly saying nothing to Kaden.I tried to get closer to Ian and held him again but Kaden would have none of it. He quickly came between us and tried to forcefully tear us apart
Audrey's POVMy heart throbbed painfully when the memories of how I injured Alpha Kaden ran uncontrollably through my mind like some stereotape. I knew I was the only one to be blamed for my actions. I shouldn't have pushed him, but it was harder to push him off with my words, action they say speaks louder than words, but in this scenario my actions have brought me a bag of troubles that I don't know practically any solutions to solve them.I should have just walked out on him, that would have been better.This is harder than I thought, remembering the last time I had seen Kaden's body looking lifeless and sprawled on the floor like his existence had been sucked out of him.I knew that my push wasn’t enough to kill him, rather he had only fainted out of exhaustion and the strength I’d used."I would want to see you get back on your feet Kaden, I didn't mean to push you, it was never my intention to hurt you. I hope you will definitely understand when you wake up, please be strong." I
