"Happy birthday!”Audrey almost threw the tray of baked muffins she was carrying to the floor, but she held her palms upward, making the muffins and tray float in the air.“Oh my…what the fudge! Maria!” Audrey faked a frown at the culprit who was laughing hard, barely holding onto the cake she was carrying, her black bulb hair moving all around as she laughed.“you witch! You scared me!”“Aww, I’m sorry love. Happy birthday sweetheart.” Maria carefully placed the cake on the kitchen counter and spread her arms for a hug.Audrey smiled, holding back the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. She placed her muffins near the cake and went into Maria's open arms. She was engulfed in a very warm and friendly embrace. For the first time in eighteen years, she got a cake for her birthday. She felt very emotional.“Aw, come on, don’t cry. It’s just a cake, not a proposal.” Maria teased.“Don’t be a villain, Maria. Leave our little cousin alone.” A girl that looked exactly like Maria ca
“Sure.” She put down the telecom and went into Mr. Russell's office. She changed her name and look when she applied for this job. She decided to make use of a white lie; Catherine was her name after all...Centuries ago. And she dyed her her to a dark color.“Please, sit.” Mr. Russell pointed to the chair opposite his table. Audrey quietly sat, waiting for him to finish what he was typing on his computer. Audrey suddenly got agitated, Just before she could say something to remind him of her presence, he finally looked up from his screen.“I'm so sorry, I have to reply to those emails you sent yesterday night from Mr. Mark.”“That’s okay, sir. What can I do for you?” Audrey was confused by the sudden rage she felt toward her boss a few seconds ago, she was glad he spoke a second before she almost did, if not, she was sure she would be jobless by now.“I need you to do me a favor. I have a business meeting with Mr. Mark tomorrow afternoon but I won’t be going, I’ll be traveling to Lo
"Let's go, grumpy," Audrey outstretched her hand to her cousin. Maria took the outstretched hand and Audrey teleported them both back to the house."Come have breakfast with us, Audrey," Miranda called from the kitchen."Morning, Miranda. Juice will be fine."Audrey went over to Miranda and gave her a peck on the cheek before going upstairs to take a shower."Trust me, Mom, She's not hungry." Maria plopped down on the dining chair and dragged a plate of lasagne to herself. Eat first, shower later."Where are your table manners?" Miranda frowned at Maria for talking and dragging dishes over the dining table."Probably with Cody," Mary replied as she entered the dining room, smiling mischievously at her sister."What's Cody?" Miranda asked, confused."Who Mum, it's Who's Cody?" Mary replied with a cocky tune."Her boyfriend," Audrey said coming into the kitchen as she packed her hair into a pony."Don't believe them, Mom. You know me." Maria said in a defensive tone."Who Mum, it's Who
Audrey gave him a light smile and nodded. One thing was for sure; she wasn't afraid to be back here again, they couldn't do anything to her anymore, but, she could not understand the strange feeling she had within her, Avery was restless too. She hated these kinds of gatherings, she believed it was just to show off.Alpha Lake sure outdid himself...again. She wondered if this was where they had held the full moon ceremony last year. As they stepped inside the building, Audrey felt like she just walked into a different world. A world of glitter, class, fashion, and sophistication. The inside was a very big hall, it's safe to say; it could contain ten football fields. Classy chandeliers hung on the roof, giving the decorated room a domineering atmosphere. Everyone here was someone in the country, you had to be somebody to be able to attend the great Lake Aloha's Gala, he was the richest bachelor in the States. Ladies were in their most expensive designer gowns, and men wore custo
Audrey froze when she heard Alpha Sebastian call out her name. She heard his fast-approaching footsteps behind her, and she knew the moment he came to stop directly at her back that things were not going to go as smoothly as she had thought.She sat still, playing dumb to gauge if she had been busted or if he was just guessing because she still looked a little like her formal self (Okay, it's just the hair that changed...and her physique.) She should have expected this kind of thing to happen. Who was she kidding? Wolves were smart creatures, they could not be easily fooled, and after all, she was still herself, just because she changed her hair color and personality did not mean she changed her whole features.She had to thread with caution."Hello, Mr. Sebastian. This is my secretary, Catherine." Mr. Russell stood from his seat and went over to Alpha Sebastian and shook his hand. Audrey secretly let out a sigh of relief, thanking her boss inside her head for taking her away from
After washing her hands, she dried them in the dryer and left the restroom."Humph!"Just before she could take a step from the closed door, her back collided with the wall beside the door, with her two hands pinned to the wall above her head.The familiar mint scent filled her nostrils before she even looked up. And then... She felt it. She felt the bone-weakning tingles from her wrist which was pinned above her, down to her toes, her knees threatening to melt like butter. She felt her pulse accelerate, but she pretended like she didn't feel anything and made it look like was because she had just been ambushed by a stranger. She deliberately acted like she was scared; she would rather he saw her as being startled by him than being affected by him. She would rather burn herself to ash than admit to those feelings. She wondered why the moon goddess chose to do this, was her life a sort of game to her?"Who are you?" His voice was menacing.Alpha Lake was stumped, not in his wildest
Audrey was walking behind Andrew as he led her to the place where she would be staying for the period of her one-year contract as Alpha Lake's secretary.She had just parted with her boss after the party was over, and he had refused to let her leave with him, so she made him promise to fetch her packed bag from her apartment tomorrow."Umm, this is more like a family house, but don't worry, you'll be staying with Alp-Mr. Aloha. Trust me, his place is almost abandoned, but in a good way." Andrew told her as they reached the Packhouse.All the memories of the past came rushing through her mind as she walked into the Packhouse. She remembered how she had slaved her days away and how she had brutally been dragged to the dungeon; once again, she was reminded of the reason why she hated him.She could easily kill him with the snap of her finger, but she'd rather not waste her energy on something irrelevant, she had something more serious ahead of her and that was the reason she was here.
4:a.m, she needed to run, she needed to run!'Damn it!'Seems like she did not think her plan through."Fuck!"She kicked the foot of the bed to assuage her anger. She knew him too well to know that this was exactly the time he went out for a morning run. But she hoped his schedule might have been adjusted on that aspect after a long time. She decided to open her door and listen in if she would hear any movement from him but the moment she opened the door, the door opposite hers was dragged open as well.Both of them stood there for a few seconds, unconsciously taking each other in, they were wolves and wolves are highly sexually active in the morning.The tension between them was palpable, Audrey was the first to break eye contact."Good morning, Mr. Aloha. Why are you up so early?" She faked a huge yawn, using the back of her hand to cover her mouth. She did not know what else to do so she decided to ask the first question and remove his attention from her and why she was up by t
