"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
'We’re safe now.' Audrey heard the first voice again. She thought it was her mind playing tricks on her because she was dying, but she heard it in her mind, loud and clear.She carefully sat up from the floor. She looked at herself and saw how heavy her clothes were soaked in blood.“What's happening?" She whispered.“I can see clearly...at night?” She stood up slowly, not still believing herself to stand properly. Looking around, her surroundings were unfamiliar but her vision of the trees in the forest was super clear and the sounds of the crickets and frogs from a distance poured onto her ears like they were just at her feet, even the sound of a gentle stream running calmly in the distance sounded so close.She marveled at how strong she felt, her wounds were all healed like it was never there. She could not even feel the pain in her waist which she got three days ago by being pushed down the stairs by Cara.“What is happening to me?” She asked no one in particular.'Nothing.' The
Audrey did not know where to start, she did not know what to make of her life at the moment, her head was full and her thoughts were scattered. Her life was a mess. She slammed close the photo album, surprising Miranda with the unexpected behavior. Audrey stared at the closed photo album and made a decision right then. She was going to take control of her life, no more letting things and people from the past or present affect her. She had planned to inquire from Miranda why her mother had abandoned her in the hands of those cruel monsters, but she decided not to. She did not care anymore. Whatever the reason, she no longer wanted to find out. She just wanted to know, Where she was and how she got there.“Where am I? How did I get here?” She asked in a detached tone, shifting the photo album away from her. Miranda knew she was angry. She saw all her thoughts just by touching her hands. She was going to go slow with her, she had been through a lot for the past sixteen years.“Oh,
