She knew those were the key yet crucial questions, but she was also curious to find out what was going on inside his head."I...I don't know. The relationship is none of my business, it happened before she met my father," He took the glass of wine he had prepared and poured it into his and Audrey's glasses."Here," He handed the glass of wine to Audrey."Thanks," Audrey said but didn't raise the glass to her lips."So, you're concerned about Audrey?" Audrey swirled her drink, staring at his face as different emotions ran across it."Well, my mother intended her to be my adopted sister, but, well, I made her a slave," He shrugged."Yeah, you did, that was wicked of you," Audrey teased.Even though she knew this topic was about her, she was acting as Catherine at the moment, she had to remove her grudge and be the comfort he needed for now.When the time comes, she'll vent her anger."Yeah, I was..." He gulped his drink at once, chuckling lightly."So, what's she to you? If you ever saw
Audrey woke up but didn’t open her eyes. She felt Alpha Lake’s strong arm around her waist and she could feel him staring at her face.“You can stop pretending, open your eyes,” Alpha Lake’s morning voice was deeper than the ocean, it had Audrey thinking bad things early in the morning.“Good morning, Sir,” Audrey finally opened her eyes and was met with dark gray orbs that were very close to her face.He looked sexy even after just waking up from sleep, she wanted to run her hands through his messy bed hair, but she refrained.“You’re stubborn…I like it,” He said in a lazy tone.He sneaked his hand into her shirt, holding her in place by her waist when she wanted to withdraw from him.“Don’t move…or I’ll fuck you,” His voice was serious, dark, deep, and seductive.Audrey froze, she’s been mentally dilapidated, who casually throws those kinds of words around as a warning? But, she didn’t want to get fucked, so, she didn’t move.“Good girl,” He nuzzled his nose against her chest, sniff
“How did you unlock the box?” Alpha Lake asked as they ate their food on the dining table.He knew the box was locked with a special kind of key that was specifically designed for only that box.It was the only one in the whole world, he’s been wondering how she could have easily opened it without breaking anything.“Oh, that?” Audrey asked and subtly stuffed her mouth with food and chewed slowly, hoping he would forget his question by the time she was done.“So?” He asked with a smirk, after patiently waiting for her to swallow her food.Audrey sighed resignedly and looked up to him, “I shimmed it...sorry,” She said convincingly.Alpha Lake stared at her unbelievably, what more did he have to find out about her? She was like a mystery box, you never knew what lay underneath the closed lid.“Mm, it’s fine, I was just curious,” He said reassuringly.He saw how she acted like she had committed some big offense, so he put her at ease.Audrey smiled secretly to herself, she was glad he bo
“Mr. Lake,” Mr. Russell offered his hand to Alpha Lake, wearing a bright smile.Alpha Lake shook him briefly and went to sit behind his table.“Aha! If it’s not my most trusted employee!” Mr. Russell engulfed Audrey in a tight hug as she walked into the office.“Good morning, boss,” Audrey smiled politely and subtly withdrew from his embrace.“Sit, Russell,” Alpha Lake said from his chair.He wasn’t comfortable seeing how handsy Mr. Russell was being with Audrey.“Please, sit,” Audrey said and brought out a chair in front of the Alpha’s table for Mr. Russell to sit.“Thanks, Cathy,” He winked at her as he took his seat.“Catherine, analysis,” Alpha Lake said coldly.He was angry. She’s been giving him the cold shoulder since morning and here she was being and smiling and loving toward her ex-boss. Ex, because he wasn’t intending to let her return to him, or return anywhere else that wasn’t by his side.“Yes, sir,” Audrey brought out her Apple iPad and placed it on the table.“Over her
She felt his tongue between her lips, licking across her lips. His hand grabbed one of her breasts and squeezed it, palming the bouncy softness in his hands.Audrey was feeling heady and dizzy. She couldn’t stop him now because her brain was all mushed up and his knees between her legs were causing hot ripples to spread from her core to every part of her body.At this rate, she was sure she could not stop him if he chose to fuck her right there and right then.“Ahem, Alpha, it’s time to go,” Philip announced awkwardly from a distance.He was afraid he’d be punished for interrupting his Alpha and he also feared he’ll be punished if he let him run late on his appointments with Mr. Mark.“Mark my words, Kitten, I’ll have you, and I’ll stop at nothing to get you,” Alpha Lake said in a deep, husky voice, hooking a finger below her chin and tilting her head up to look at her face.“I don’t care anymore about what’s right or wrong between us, I’ll fuck you in the end,” He kissed her one last
Alpha Lake was shocked when he heard Mark calling Audrey’s name. How did he know her?Audrey walked over to Mark and politely offered him a handshake but he wrapped his hand around her and hugged her.He always preferred to act friendly with her outside the office, and right here was not a place to act professionally.“What are you doing here?” Audrey asked, raising her voice so he could hear her because of the loud music. She didn’t know... She didn’t have to.“I could ask you the same, Missy,” Mark replied.Alpha Lake watched them with narrowed eyes. He didn’t know how to describe it, but he felt greatly uncomfortable seeing Audrey in another man’s arms.“I have to apologize for the incident,” Mark said sincerely.“It’s alright, you guys came just in time, thank you,” Audrey smiled.“Let’s go,” Alpha Lake breezed passed them angrily.He was the one who saved her, yet she went ahead to thank someone else.“This way, Catherine,” Mark held Audrey’s hand and led her away from all the no
Alpha Lake was still giving instructions to Henry and Philip when he heard Audrey’s painful cry, he looked in her direction and his vision turned red. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Audrey, holding her up as blood flowed out from her stab. “What have you done!” He was lethal as he stared at Grace. He would have ended her then and there but, Audrey was more important, he would take her to the Pack hospital, and then, he’d deal with Cara and Grace later. “A-Alpha, I d- didn’t-" “Silence!” He growled at Grace. His wolf was fully present now, everyone lowered their head in total submission to his Alpha command. Cara was visibly shaking as she stood beside the wall, she had just been gossiping and badmouthing Audrey, and she never expected Grace to take it so personally and act the way she did. She feared for herself...and for Grace, but for herself mainly, for she knew the Alpha already knew she had a grudge against Audrey and he’d think she’d been the one who asked
"Hey, Hey, calm down," Audrey placed her hand on his cheek, gently rubbing her thumb over it, "I was just trying to lighten your mood, you were so uptight and-" "Never, never ever joke about your life," Alpha Lake's voice was filled with pain as he placed his hand over Audrey's on his cheek. He closed his eyes and a tear escaped his eyes. Audrey felt her heart shatter as she saw the tear slip down his cheeks. It was the first time, she never thought he could cry, and for her... Were his feelings for her that genuine? "Don't cry..." She used her thumb to wipe his tears from his face. "I thought you were going to die!" He leaned over and gently hugged her, burying his face in her neck. He thought he would never get to smell this strange yet addictive flowery scent again, even though it wasn't the Lavender and honey he craved to smell again, he had gotten addicted to this one too. He didn't know why, but when he saw her bleed, he felt like he was witnessing how Audrey had been stab
