When Audrey got loose from the ropes, she favored her hands for a minute, observing how bruised they had become. "I noticed a long list of ancient texts and I would like to have one of the books to read."Audrey revealed."We don't give out books in this place. They are sacred books and we keep them safe."Martin replied. Audrey walked directly to him, staring him in the eyes."I guess your secret isn't safe with me then."She had a cheesy smile on her face and this made Martin really angry."Are you trying to black mail me?"Martin asked; a question that forced Audrey to laugh for a moment."This is no blackmail Beta Martin, this is just the plain truth. You give me what I want and I speak not of your group to any soul."Audrey could see from his eyes how conflicted he looked. It was a hard choice to make, but Martin knew that Audrey speaking of the group would spawn as a threat to the Alpha and he may be coerced to eliminate them all."Very well then. You can pick whichever you want."Se
Audrey stared at May in disbelief. Just when she had high hopes that she would be termed a liar, even though she has always loved to be proven right, May's revelation shows things are getting darker in the pack. "Let's go check it out."May suggested that Audrey get out of the bed alongside May and they both head outside the chambers. On getting to the scene, which was barely outside the mansion, people had already gathered. Martin made sure no one came close to the dead bodies as they were horrific sights to behold. When Audrey laid eyes on the two dead bodies; one belonging to Benard and the other belonging to a pack member, she was fully satisfied that this was the act of the wyvern she read about."Pave way for the Alpha."Alexandros announced and Hercules stepped into the scene. Apparently, he had been informed by his gamma about the incident and he halted the meeting with Alpha Brandon.Upon seeing the dead corpse, Hercules was bewildered, especially seeing Benard as part of the
When Audrey arrived at the chamber, it was quiet that only the steps of her feet made noise. The evening time around Airpack was cool and it made the chamber a little extra cold as well. Audrey looked up and Hercules' eyes bore holes into her own. Audrey took a little step forward, before halting and bowing to the Alpha."Sometime ago, you came up with a supposed conspiracy. Everyone took it with a grain of salt because we all thought you were lying. However, with the incident that happened today, I have to fully believe there is truth in your story. So....."Hercules stood from the throne and walked down the little steps. "...Narrate the story once again." Audrey was fidgeting. Considering the fact that she had gathered new evidence, if Hercules gets to find out about the whole situation, without valid evidence, she could still be accused of lying."I got to the market that fateful day, and all I ever wanted was to do the bidding of your sister. While exchanging price offers on a cer
"As the tradition demands, you will casted into the burning flames and die a horrible death."Audrey's eyes widened."No brother. You can't do this to her, she is your mate."May attempted to intercept, but the deadly stare from Hercules, made her keep quiet."An evil deed has been done and as my father has taught me, I will get rid of all sages of black magic. Take her!"Hercules ordered as Martin, Bradley and himself left. The soldiers stepped inside and despite the struggle, she was hoisted up like a common thief. Audrey cried out as May stood there watching her with a look of pain written all over it. Certainly, there was nothing that would be done at this point.Audrey was tied round cannons as every member of the pack was made to be present. She was filled with tears as people rain curses and accusatory fingers at her. She looked behind to see May standing with so much pain written across her face. After a blast from the horn, Hercules and Martin stepped into the large gathering
While everyone threw different shades of pure abhorrent words, Audrey was speechless. She had believed it would be Bradley like she suspected, but was surprised to see that it was William."Now that the ancient sword has been able to identify who has been an adept learner of black magic, it is pertinent I sound this warning to everyone, regardless of what you think is best I want you never to indulge yourselves with people outside the mansion."Mammon warns as William's lifeless body is taken away.The sword had struck deep into his stomach and rivers of blood flowed endlessly on the floor. Audrey turned to look at Bradley; clearly the sword had picked its victim and this meant that things were back to normal. She made it a mental note to ask later on why he had lied about being caught on fire.Once the gathering had been dismissed, Hercules, May, Martin and Audrey were left in the chambers. There was a tense atmosphere and right before Hercules could speak, Martin raised his hands to
On getting to May's chambers, Audrey hesitated before knocking and after she did, the door opened almost immediately. May engulfed Audrey into a warm hug the moment she saw her friend. They both stood at the spot crying and for Audrey regardless of what transpired, May showed she was a true friend and despite there was nothing she could do, Audrey had a strong conviction that if May had powers like her brother, she would have halted the process."I am sorry!"May said the moment they both head into the chambers."There is nothing to be sorry about May, you tried your best. You proved that you can stand for me but nothing could be done. I am just glad Mammon came to the rescue."Audrey indicated. May still had a little guilt in her, she felt there was more she could do, despite everything that had ."It's all in the past now."Audrey replied, hugging her friend once more."How did your meeting with my brother go?"Audrey's lifted mood suddenly deflated as May brought the issue of Hercules.
Later that evening, Audrey slipped out of the room and made her way towards the wolf statue. If she was going to know the truth, she needed to go to any length to find it. After reading the Greek text on the statue, a crack sound forced the tunnel opened and she made her way into the tunnel. She had made sure to bring a fire torch with her, but was surprised to see there was several fire torch. Audrey walked directly towards the shelve, in a bit to see if there was a copy of the book of Alphas. While skimming through the series of books, she heard footsteps. She paused for a moment, and turned to see Martin standing right behind her. Audrey almost screamed, but held herself back. "I thought we had an agreement for you never to come here again!" Martin asked with rage written across his face. "There is something urgent I need to check out and I have this strong feeling that only your library could contain such book." Audrey replied, after regaining her composure. "You haven't retu
When Morning came the next day, Audrey was already up. All that filled her mind was digging up the truth about what exactly was going on the mansion and also in the pack. May wasn't an early morning person, she chose to stay in her bed till when the sun was at its peak. Audrey got up from bed and walked towards the wardrobe to change into something fitting for the task she had at hand. Right before she had slept, Audrey had made the conclusion of searching the old mansion for the truth she so desired. Slowly, she tiptoed out of the room, not making attempt to wake May up. Once she was out of the room, she walked through the hallway, which was particularly silent as many had not fully woken up.Once outside the mansion, she head towards the old mansion. The pack was unusually quiet, but Audrey alluded the silence to people not haven to be awake.When Audrey arrived at the old mansion, she was glad it was still opened and made her way into the huge building. Audrey was convinced there
