Audrey quickly ran out the door and flew down the stairs. Reaching the general living room, she saw people gathered in peers in each corner of the living room.She slowly walked outside the packhouse and was surprised to see more people at the entrance.She slowly walked past them and trailed the crowd that lined from the front to the back of the Packhouse.She could hear them as she passed;"It's a teenage witch,""I wonder how she got her,""She's asked for trouble,""Didn't she hear about the feud?!""Poor thing's gonna die," Audrey hastened her footsteps as she heard their talks.She had a feeling that the witch at the border might have something to do with her, or she just felt that way because she needed to save the witch.She went into a full sprint and ran into the forest.Her heart leaped when she saw some wolves standing in front of her secret garden, but she sighed in relief when she saw it was still tightly sealed, she had thought they found the witch girl in there."Who s
"Thank you, Ms. Bridget," Alpha Lake, said, opening the lid up of a container."Oh, please, it's just a bento, I didn't have the strength to cook anything tonight. So don't worry, it wasn't stressful," Ms. Bridget said, smiling."It's still going to be yummy, so, thanks," Audrey smiled at the woman.Ms. Bridget smiled warmly at her. She was happy seeing Audrey and Alpha Lake finally start to get comfortable beside each other, they seemed like they were getting along just fine. But she wished they would stop denying the sizzling hot chemistry between them, it'll do them some good to accept their feelings for each other."Want me to feed you, kitten?" Alpha Lake asked and took his fork to feed Audrey."No! I've got hands, and, don't call me that in front of people..." Audrey subtly jerked her head towards Ms. Bridget."Ooh!" Alpha Lake acted surprised like he was truly surprised by the news."Yeah!" Audrey slowly nodded her head, playing along with him."Ok, how about when no one's arou
Sandra came in that morning to 'help' Audrey get ready for the day."So, you're saying that Alpha Lake has a human brother?" Sandra asked with a deep frown as she fixed her hair in front of Audrey's mirror.She couldn't understand how that was possible. For as long as she could remember, Alpha Lake never had any siblings, no less a human sibling."Mm, I'm just as confused as you are. But I'm determined to find out," Audrey said as she pulled her grey baggy shirt over her head.She walked over to Sandra and handed her a hairband, turning her back and lowering herself in front of Sandra so she could be able to pack her hair into a pony."Ugh, he's such a hypocrite," Sandra rolled her eyes."Yeah... He is," Audrey nodded."But, what kind of person is he? He treated you so badly then partly because he thought you were just a normal human, meanwhile, he had a human brother hidden somewhere," Sandra complained."Which of his parents owns him?" Audrey pondered."Yeah...it couldn't be an offs
Audrey quickly ran up the stage, Sandra trailing behind her.She reached Maria and squatted before her, palming her face.No one was paying attention to them, everyone was busy exiting the hall to find shelter till everywhere was announced safe again."What do you think you're doing?" Audrey asked angrily."Helping you," Maria smirked."For fuck's sake! This is no time to make jokes! Get up!" Audrey waved her hand over Maria's wrist, releasing the chains."I knew you would save me," Maria smiled."Come on," Audrey held Maria's arm and quickly dragged her out of the hall.Sandra followed them, giving them some space. She didn't want to intrude on their family bond moment.She couldn't describe how she felt seeing her friend so close to someone that wasn't her. She never knew she could be jealous in friendship."This way," Audrey directed Maria towards the passage that led to the servants' quarters.Knock! Knock!Audrey knocked on Ms. Bridget's door, tapping her foot impatiently on the
"Ah, this? I don't know. But since they put it around my wrist, I couldn't use my powers," Maria said."You can't be serious! You've had this around your wrist for almost a day and you knew nothing about it, yet you didn't say anything about it. How dumb could you get, Maria?" Audrey was frustrated."This is a power inhibitor, Maria, that's why you couldn't use your power," Audrey informed."Oh, I see," Maria said. Audrey rolled her eyes, "Unlocked," Audrey said and the locked bracelet clicked, falling into Maria's lap."Wow, thanks, cuz. What would I do without you?" Maria asked, hugging Audrey."Get off me you witch," Audrey pushed her away.Sandra chuckled and stood from the chair."So..." She lowered herself beside Maria on the bed."What's your supper power?" Sandra was curious to know since she couldn't see Audrey use her powers, she was curious to know how a witch worked."I'm a healer," Maria said. "Awesome, so, like, ouch!" Sandra brought out her claw and scratched her arm."
Audrey wasn't expecting that question, she'd been taken unaware.She stared blankly at him, not knowing how to reply, because after all...she was his mate.She felt Avery pushing...hard.She blinked her eyes and moved away from him."Don't joke about things like that," Audrey whispered.Her heart was beating rapidly. He looked so insecure when he asked that question, as if he was scared she would reject him if she discovered she was his mate.Would she?"Hey," Alpha Lake walked over to her and hugged her from behind."Don't think too much about that... I was a bit spontaneous," He said behind her, gently wrapping his hands around her lower abdomen.Audrey just nodded, still not trusting herself to speak, she was fighting with her wolf who wanted to surface by all means.They stood there, in each other's embrace, not saying a word, just enjoying the peace and comfort they felt with each other."Join me for a bath," Alpha Lake whispered."Huh?" Audrey spontaneously turned around in his
“No, no, don't leave me. Please! Please!" The red-haired young woman ignored the little girl's cry, turned, and walked away hastily; She left the little girl standing in front of the big intimidating Packhouse. The little girl slumped onto the dirt, wailing at the young woman's retreating figure... But, she never turned back. "Audrey, Audrey, get up!. You're going to be late...again." Audrey jolted up in her tiny single bed. "I'm up, I'm up." She rubbed her eyes and yawned."Morning, Ms. Bridget." She greeted in between her yawns. "Same dream again?" Ms. Bridget asked, stroking Audrey's red hair. Audrey nodded. "It's okay child, everything's going to be all right." Ms. Bridget removed the thin blanket from Audrey, pulled her out of bed, and pushed her into the bathroom. "But we have to survive first, right? Now, wash up and get going before he chops your head off." She heard the old lady giggle before leaving her room. Audrey did not have time to think about the dream she’d be
‘Stupid, stupid, stupid Alpha!’ Audrey cursed the Alpha in her head as she dropped the last bunch of grapefruit into the basket. Her stomach rumbled terribly from hunger, she had not eaten anything since morning, and now, the sun was about to set. When other workers had launch brakes, she used hers to rush over to the Alpha's house to prepare his launch. Her stomach rumbled so loud that she placed her palms over her tummy in embarrassment, hoping no one heard it. “I heard that.” A voice whispered into her left ear from behind,"Me. Too.” Another followed. She closed her eyes in embarrassment, wishing for the earth to open and swallow her. “He-he-he!” Sandra giggled beside her. “Alex, I think you should take her out to dinner now.” She slung her hand over Audrey's shoulders. Alex was her and Sandra's friend, the two people she could call friends.She had known, for a long time, about Alex's feelings toward her, even though he tried so hard to hide them. “I don’t think Audrey h
