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
Alpha Lake had seen how his guard had treated Audrey, and what he was planning to do to her, he had been standing by the door for some time, watching how Audrey tried to fight her way out with the guards as she struggled with them.Normally, he did not let anyone maltreat his servants, it was not allowed, unless, it was himself, or he ordered it. But he had kept mute because, it was Audrey after all, the person he hated the most, but then, why did he get angry when he heard what his guard had suggested? It was probably because he was not the one who gave the order, he was an Alpha, the strongest one alive, and he did not like it when people acted without his command.“Yes, Alpha.” The guards replied and left the dungeon. It was just Audrey and the furious Alpha that was left in the cold dungeon.“I didn’t do it.” Audrey managed to whisper. She was surprised at how her day ended, how was she unaware that she had stolen twenty bunches of grapes? And now, she had successfully landed her
She wished Alpha Sebastian would take Audrey away. The poor girl deserves a normal life filled with love and care, which were all absent in her life at the moment.“Who did this!” Alpha Lake barked at the two guards standing in front of the dungeon door. Rage filled him as he saw the blood-drained girl lying on the floor, looking all pale and dying. His wolf, Regal, sensed a very faint heartbeat from her, and for the first time, it became crazy, restless, and angry. He did not understand why his wolf was feeling that way toward Audrey, but it affected him too. Whatever his wolf felt, he felt too. They were one. He got more irritated as his wolf became more restless. He was angry at Regal for making him want to know who did that to Audrey and why. Left for him, he would care less about her.“You will answer me.” His eyes glazed over, and his wolf pushed forward, using their Alpha command on the two guards.“We do not know, Alpha. We were drugged.” They answered in a somewhat hypnot
