Aubrey's POV Rejecting his offer turned out to be a big deal as he was silent throughout the day. Apparently, Alphas had a sense of ego when they provided for their mates. In this case, i had made my stance clear but it seemed like he was not getting it. " I need to take this call." He informed me and walked out of the ward, which was a great relief because then could I breathe and reflect on everything that's been happening I called Alexis who picked up almost immediately, " Hey, babe. You went off the radar." She replied in an accusing tone." I'm sorry, I was just caught up with some things. What's up? Any news in school?" I asked. " Nah, I think next week is lecture-free week. I'll be coming over to your house." She informed me." I don't know when I will be returning, my friend hasn't woken up," I replied. Also, with everything that's been happening, that was a very bad choice."Oh my god, I am such a bad person. It skipped my mind. How is she doing?" Alexis asked." I don't

Aubrey's POV "What the hell was that?" Alexis asked as we walked into my apartment. I could see the question marks in her eyes but she did well not to ask any further questions.I walked into my room and picked up my phone. This wasn't to be taken lightly. " Hello, I just received a letter," I informed Mr. Knight. " Hey, Calm down. I can sense your panic. Tell me what's wrong." He said, and I narrated the incident to him. "Who's there with you?" He asked. I wondered how he knew that I wasn't alone. " Alexis," I replied in a low tone. Her head shot up, at the mention of her name.He sighed. " I'll get back to you in a few minutes. Just be calm and don't out us. I would have come myself but I am required to be somewhere else." He said. I wondered how that was supposed to calm me down right now. I walked into the bathroom. " You said you had guards watching me. That was the semblance of hope I had that my life was going to be somewhat safe. It is not up to twelve hours and I've rece

Aubrey's POV " We have to go to the hospital then," I said, but she shook her head. " What do you mean by no?" I asked. I was more worried than she was. I didn't want her to get hurt on my watch. " Just calm down. I'll go to a hospital later, but it's not an emergency. I can get my drugs from the pharmacy. It's a sedative. It helps me sleep better at night." She replied, and I went down memory lane. My fourteen-year-old self opened the door and saw Amber snoring away when there was a fire. I couldn't get her to wake up, and I was already getting scared. It was some neighbors that helped me put out the fire. " That explains why you sleep deeply," I said. Amber shook her head again, " I only sleep deeply at night. I've always told you not to disturb me at night." She told me. She used to be very angry whenever I woke her up for an unnecessary cause. " The question is why?" I asked, and she looked at me, heaved a sigh, and collapsed on the bed."I have been seeing visions since I w

Aubrey's POV My sister paced around the house and I looked at her. Xander was losing blood rapidly and I was getting scared. What if he died? This was a perfect recipe for disaster. " Let's take him to the hospital."" What if he dies? We will be held responsible." She replied instead and I rolled my eyes. " Standing here will be more dangerous." I replied, picked up my phone, and called Mr. Knight." Pick up. Pick up." I muttered when he didn't pick up immediately. " He's losing a lot of blood." My sister said and I walked into my room, brought a thick towel, and wrapped it against his head, to stop the blood. My phone buzzed and I picked up. My hands were bloody. " I have an emergency. Xander is lying in a pool of blood in my house. I need to take him to the hospital." I said. " I'll send a car right now. Have you tried to stop the blood?" He asked. " Yes." " Keep applying pressure against it." He said and I nodded."I'll meet you there." He replied, and I sighed. " Who did yo

Aubrey's POV " Come sit." He tapped the sofa and I pulled the drawstrings of my pajamas together, before walking towards him. " What was the dream about?" He asked. " I saw a group of wolves barking at me. That's what it's called right?" I asked, and she nodded. His eyes were shrouded with an emotion that I couldn't identify. " They chased me to the mouth of the cliff. When I tipped over, I thought I was going to die." I shuddered at the thought. The dream was so real that I pleaded for all my sins to be forgiven. His hand snaked out to me and pulled me into a half embrace. My head rested partly on his shoulder and he stroked it gently. " I won't allow that to happen." He promised." " So you keep saying. I am tired of living in fear." I replied honestly. He raised my head and looked straight into my eyes. " I will not allow harm come to you. I promise you that." He said with utmost sincerity that I believed him. "What did you dream about?" I asked. He shrugged. " Quite similar
