Her eyes widened to their greatest lengths in surprise, and her brain scrambled up in webs of confusion. Her system shut down. She froze.Alpha Lake was turned on as he felt Audrey's soft lips on his. His wolf had taken over; Regal aggressively pushed forward to claim his mate. His. But he did not yield to it.As hard as it was, he did nothing else, he just placed his lips on hers and did nothing more.In as much as he wanted her, he was also allowing her to execute her plans, to show her real purpose of coming to his Pack, he was testing her, but, he was surprised to see the horrific reaction on her face; as if he disgusted her, and for some unknown reason, it hurt him and his wolf badly."You, Wh-What did you do?" Audrey managed to whisper in a low voice.Her voice trembling from shock and excitement. Audrey applauded herself, she did not believe she would be able to hold back Avery and not reveal herself to him in such an erotically critical moment, with the explosions of tingles s

"I'll be damned," Audrey spoke to her wolf with a frown as she shifted the chair toward the new table, she had brought into the Alpha's office.She placed it a good distance away from Alpha Lake's table. She needed to stay away from him the best she could; especially, after what transpired between them at the lake earlier that morning.Audrey was currently at war with her wolf. She was angry and disappointed at Avery for allowing them to get swayed by that monstrous Alpha."You knew all he's done to us, yet, you almost gave us away like all those sufferings did not matter." Audrey continued but Avery just kept mute, brewing in her bubble of anger and worry in Audrey's head.She knew all Audrey said was true, but who could blame her? She was just a wolf who recognized her mate and wanted to bond with him, and if possible... mate. She did not want to go by Audrey's feelings, she had her strong beliefs that would overshadow Audrey's willpower with time."Answer me, you crazy wolf," Audre

"Let me go," Audrey snapped."No." He replied simply, tightening his hold on her slim waist. Audrey was exasperated.He was unbelievable. She didn't know how to react anymore. She couldn't help but wonder if he was bipolar - saying this and doing that, giving hot and cold signals.She could not believe the man before her was still the same man who acted like a devil towards her, he was still a devil, but it was safe to say he'd toned it down a little bit, probably because he believed she wasn't Audrey and mostly because of the mate bond.He still hated her, that was an obvious fact, but he tolerated her to some extent; an act he considered a favor to her given that she was just but a useless human.Remembering the kind of person he is changed her mood instantly.She turned off the stupid mate bond switch that was messing with her brain, ready to light him up if he still refused to release her.Seeing as Audrey went quiet all of a sudden, Alpha Lake smirked to himself thinking the mat

Audrey paused and turned to him."I'll be lying if I say I'm not curious. But, I wouldn't want to cross the line and pry into your matter. So, I'd rather not know." Audrey replied calmly. But deep down she was dying with curiosity.She wanted to know who Janeth was and why she was trying so hard to look like her, she wanted to understand what Janeth meant when she mentioned Andrew and the Alpha having a crush on her, and she wanted to understand why he hated her(Audrey) so much.She wanted to understand a lot of things about him.Alpha Lake watched her as she turned her back to him to finish what she was doing. He wasn't going to lie to himself anymore; he felt stung each time Audrey mentioned she wasn't interested in anything about him.Strangely, he wanted her to care about him, be interested in him."But, I'll tell you anyway." His voice sounded close behind her.Audrey felt him come up behind her, her heart missed a beat for a second and then started beating erratically.He went u

That wasn't at all the reaction she expected."How about we make a deal, Kitten?" He proposed, gently putting her hair behind her ear.He didn't know came over him, but he didn't care anymore. He knew what he was about to say would be a shock and a surprise to her, and anybody who would ever hear of it.But, he. Did. Not. Care. He was going by his instincts. He had ignored it enough, it was time to admit to himself that he did not have a problem with Catherine(Audrey), and if she was really his mate, he might as well try to find a middle ground with her.He haven't been the best partner so far. It was time he changed it. At the end of the day; he was the one caving in."What deal?" Audrey asked, raising her cute brow."Cuddle me tonight and...""Hell no!" Audrey said flatly. Cutting him off completely.She could not believe her ears, there was no need letting him finish the nonsense he was about to say. She admitted that she had been carried away earlier in the kitchen, but now? No!
