Audrey’s POV:I could not believe what I was seeing, or who I was seeing rather. It had to be a dream, it just had to be. Kaden, whom everyone thought was dead, just stood there looking at everyone but me especially. I blinked my eyes twice thinking that it was just my imagination playing a trick on me, but Kaden still stood there. I raised my shackled hands to my face to rub both my eyes and when I opened them, he still stood there of course. I thought this had to be some trick most definitely or that I was simply running mad. I still could not believe it for ever since he was hospitalized, ever since he was pronounced dead, and considering with little strength in me, I had been having visions of Kaden; especially when I was told he had died. Sometimes I even saw him appear in front of me just as I was seeing that moment so it was difficult to believe he was actually there. I tried hard to rid my mind and eyes of the image of him there but he failed to vanish as he always did the

Audrey’s POV:Fear was the only feeling that I felt as Shantel pointed her gun at us. I knew that Shantel would not pull the trigger on Kaden which meant that she only wanted to shoot at me and that was why Kaden had pulled me behind him to protect me in the first place. It scared me though that Shantel who was obviously unstable could pull the trigger on impulse and out of her anger. Kaden tried to persuade Shantel to lower the gun so they could talk about whatever the problem was but she would have none of it, she was just bent on killing me. Kaden then began to plead with her, sweet talking her into listening to him.“Shantel please listen to me. Come on, lower the gun please so we can talk about this okay?” he said to her as he took some step towards her to try convincing her to listen.“No! I won’t!” Shantel screams, shaking her head continuously.She seemed mad with anger and was going maniacal which made her unpredictable; she refused to give in to Kaden’s pleas, instead, she

Audrey’s POVI breathed out heavily as I raised my hand above my head and knocked on Kaden’s large mahogany door and almost as soon as I knocked, it flung open revealing Kaden with a newspaper in his hand and a reading glass sitting on his nose.Asides the low waisted joggers he was wearing, he was completely bare; I gulped.“Come on in!” He offered, gesticulating with his arm and as soon as he said those words, I didn’t wait for him to repeat himself before I stepped in quickly and shut the door behind me.The room was a mess. He had tons of books lying everywhere, ranging from his table to the floor and sofas. It looked too disorganized.“Why do you have so many books lying about?” I asked but when I turned to look in the direction he was once standing, I was shocked to see that he was no longer here.“Where is he?” I thought to myself but then sighed when I heard sounds coming from his bathroom, which signified that he was there.A few minutes later, he walked out of the bathroom l

Kaden’s POV“What!?” Escaped? How is that even possible?” I screamed at Adler who had brought in the news.“We don’t know…we’re not sure.” Adler replied me his eyes looking down.“You’re not sure? How am I supposed to work with that!?” I screamed again.“I mean we are still trying to figure out how it happened, I have sent a few scouting team to track him down. We should know exactly how it happened soon enough.” Adler then said to me, this time looking straightly towards me.“A few Scouting team? The person who tried to murder me has escaped and you sent just a few soldiers to go after him!? Send half the soldiers and get him back here immediately!” I thundered at Adler.“Yes my king.” Adler replied me and turned quickly to leave the room.He was about to leave the room when I called him back and dished out more orders for him to execute. I wanted him to double all the guards’ duty and keep them alert on any suspicious movements around the pack. I also wanted to see for myself the c

Audrey’s POVFear, that was all I could feel as I stared into the deep dark orbs that glinted back at me. Shantel could be scary when she wanted to and this was one of those times I almost feared her.Right now, I wasn’t really scared of her but instead was scared of what she could do if she was allowed out of this cell.“Hey, deal or no deal?” She called, waving at my face and I had no other option but to look up at her.She had this maniacal look on her face that made me almost scream; ‘no deal!’ but this was important. Too important to let my fears get the best of me.I gingerly pulled my hands in front of myself and thrusted it into one of the spaces between the metallic barricades. She immediately took the cue and placed her hand in mine.“Deal.” I said.“Cool,” She replied with a smile, and then let go of my hand. For a minute, I almost wanted to take back my words but after weighing all of my odds, I ruled that thought out of my mind.I needed Shantel’s help whether I trusted
