Audrey’s POV“Lock the door.” I heard him say. I gulped down instantly, roaming through my head, wondering what Alaric could do to me. I started imagining his hand on me, his voice in my ears, but everything was shut down as he breezed past me, closing the door and coming to slam me against it.He was so close, his lips so close, his breath fanning against my face. I stared deepinto his eyes, not wanting to bow down to any effect he might be thinking he hason me.“Audrey…” he staggered to say, blinking away from me and to my chest.“Why?”I bore the same look on my face at his question. He has acted so stupid and irrational, and I would not give in to whatever he had to say. Calling me out in front of the maids, making me look like I was just a thing for him and forAsher. Nope, I inhaled sharply. I was not going to give in.How he looked up at me next made all my resolve break, our eyes meeting instantly. His black orbs were soft as if pleading with me. His lips were quivering as h

Asher's POVI thought the kiss would work. Leaning to kiss the back of her fingers, I thought fingers would work. But at least I got a sweet smile from her. As I led her to the table, only one thought stayed in my mind, and that was that she was gorgeous. The desire I've seen in Alaric's eyes, everything was starting to make sense. I could sense her nervousness, but I could not say anything to stop that, so I didn't bother. With a sweet smile plastered to my face, I pulled out the chair for her as she took her seat before walking to mine. I had figured she might be hungry since Alaric cut the breakfast short, and I didn't see her eating much last night, so I set this up. I had just some hours to spare this morning since my pack meeting won't happen till afterward, and I've decided to get to know her. After all her loving speech, this was the least I could do for her."Well, I figured you might be hungry, so why not prepare this?" I said, meeting her eyes and hoping to lighten up th

Audrey’s PovAfter discovering that I’m a slut for Alaric and just a princess to Asher, my evening went as sour and sweet as possible. A part of me kept thinking and rewinding to the kinds of stuff I wanted Alaric to try on me, up to the extent I communicated to my wolf about things that one could try when having sex. And sour because of what i should be doing with Asher instead. Asher has always been my dream man and will always be my dream man. And guilt killed me inside that i preferred Alaric more than him when it comes to bodily stuff.“Maybe it’s just because you’ve not tried anything with him. It has always been with the devil.” my wolf mindlinked me.“Why is he not as charming as Alaric with words? Why can’t he be as sweet as Alaric regarding everything?”“But I thought Alaric was the devil and annoying one?”“YES!” I growled out, jerking off the bed with my eyes wide before a deep sigh passed away from my mouth. I let my shoulders slump with a tired pout in my mouth before

Audrey’s Pov.“Fuck!” I yelled, slamming the book shut and throwing it across the room. I stood up from the bed, my feet moving swiftly to the mirror as I stared at my tired and irritated face. I folded my hands underneath my breast, taking in my full expression. It was just mid-afternoon, and it looked like the longest day of my life. After breakfast, I returned to this room with the butterflies and suspicions embedded in my stomach. While Asher had already been lovely to me throughout breakfast, there had been a pit of warning in my stomach with the way Alaric stood up and disappeared when it was obvious that he had been waiting for me to get to the table. And when I asked Asher, he replied, “He’s just throwing a fit of jealousy. Do not mind him.”Even though he had said those words to me last night, and they had annoyed me madly, a part of me still did not like the angry Alaric.“Well, flirty Alaric is more fun.” My wolf chided.I growled under my breath, pulling my black hair to

Alaric’s PovThe more she cried, the angrier and dirtier the thoughts of what I would do to Asher. It took a lot of patting and soft words before she closed her eyes and fell asleep on my chest, and even her puffy eyes made my wolf growl. I gently laid her on the bed, covering her up with the duvet and placing a soft kiss on her forehead before exiting the room as quietly as I could. And as I closed the wooden door slowly, all my nerves and muscles started to boil.I had no idea what Asher was trying to play at, bringing a fucking female to the house like that, his tongue all coiled up when he was supposed to talk, and acting as if he was sorry by putting on those stupid pitying eyes of his. He has made her cry. Not just a drop. But it's a huge one. And he didn’t even chase back after her. He did not move an inch, and the stupid blonde haired beside him.I barged into where I knew he was going to be, sighting the fucking head guard and signaling him to leave. My wolf growled out hig
