The luna had spoken at length to Audrey about the pack that were to come the next day. She had spoken about poise and charisma and had told Audrey that she was not to be at the fields, training. She was to exude all the charm that daughters and heirs of packs exuded and she had been bored listening to her mother give her all the detailed lectures. Some of which she did not even need. "Mother, is it necessary that I act the way you have asked me to?"She asked lazily at a point."It is not how I have asked you to, it is how you should act..like the royal daughter that you are. You are not supposed to carry yourself like any common member of the pack"Her more replied sternly."Well, I will chose to be myself at anytime regardless of the people around and the place that I find myself. Again, I find that having to act like the royal daughter that I am limits me from doing a lot and being myself_"Audrey said. She had learnt to always speak her mind and she did that everytime no matter w
Audrey was not going to stop. She ran all the way up the stairs and only stopped when she reached the door of the library upstairs. The library was one of the many rooms in the pack house that gave a lucid view of the house below. She opened the door and went inside. It was calm and as serene as she always remembered it. As a child, she had ran into the library a few times to escape being scolded by her mother after she must have indulged in one mischievous activity or the other. The library brought her memories as she stepped into it, a sweet sense of nostalgia teased her. She looked around the shelves holding the antique books that had been passed down from one generation to the other, Passed from one ancestor to the other and eventually amassing to the number they were. She walked around, the smell of her mate whom she was aware was only downstairs was temporarily forgotten and in that instance, she wished she could just remain in the library, away from the arriving guests and the
Audrey was a bit uneasy as she did not smell her mate anymore. She still had not seen the fellow and she had no idea whom among the many men he was. She was still busy, having to order the maids around as the hostess, see that everything was in place.. it was almost lunchtime and the sun was high up in the sky. She took the stairs once again and was going to head straight to her room when the scent of her mate came to her again, this time stronger and more compelling. By the time she reached the door of her father's study, it was unmistakable that the scent was coming from there.. she felt the compelling force push the door open and she stepped in. There was seated right across her father the Alpha of the blood Moon pack. Ron! She gulped in some air and greeted her father. She was obviously disoriented. "Father, good day.." she said. She had no good excuse to give for coming into the study unannounced and so she busied her brain by cooking up a suitable excuse."I had only come to a
Ron was closely followed by Robert as he continued to walk briskly. He did not see Chloe walk from where she had been towards him until she was right behind him. She called him."Wait up, Ron!"She said in suppressed whisper and Ron turned back sharply.. she quickened her pace."Yes, Chloe what do you want?"He asked as he turned away from her but did not walk away. She reached him and breathed loudly."Why do you ask me such question, Ron?" She asked with a forced smile. She was in front of Ron in the next moment and her hand raised to rest on the lapels of Ron's shirt. He moved a step back and stood more comfortably a few feets away from her. She sighed but did not make any attempt to go closer. "I ask what you want, Chloe that you must detain me _" Ron said as his eyes moved from her across the hall ahead of them."You know what I want and you won't say no to me, right?" She hinted, biting down on her lower lips. Ron did not pay any attention to her latest seductive look. He was s
Audrey suffered all night with the scent of her mate plaguing her. She was not sure what to do about it. She could not avoid it even if she did. She had walked in wobbly feet when she had gone before the maids, showing them how and where to place the deserts after dinner and Ron had looked her way.. she had lost her composure and had felt her insides go hot and then cold. And then there was the sudden fluttering of butterflies in her innards. She loved and despised the sensations he stirred in her and she hated how totally indifferent he was in all of that!"Well, it was a good night, was it not?"Luna Victoria asked as she came into Audrey's room that night." I loved how totally composed you had been my dear.. I told you, you were only nervous, but once you set your mind away from all of that nervousness, you do really good. A good hostess you made, indeed my dear," she said as she plopped on the bed. Audrey was in the bed. Still pondering on all that had happened.. the breaths she h
Audrey took her place next to one of her men as the training began. Ron's Beta, Robert was around the same place that Ron was and they trained together. Carla took every opportunity to smile at Audrey and she tried to pay back the smile everytime it was flashed her way. They continued to train while her mind wandered often to Ron. His lean body and the dexterity with which he handled the sword, effortlessly, yet swift. She had stopped a few times and had taken a few seconds to watch him and when he had turned his head her way, she had pretended she was not looking his way. Ron was discomfited. He had to admit that of all the troubles he had had with women, being in the same place with his mate without being spoken to was the worse. He grew angry a few times over it and used his sword more ferociously until he was calm. She was doing so much to ignore him and he was not enjoying any bit of it.Last night after they had been taken to the place where they should lodge for the time they
Audrey was still standing with Carla who seemed to be giving her all the reasons to hate the pale-skinned Chloe and she was not bored in Carla's company. They talked about other things and at a point she was tempted to tell Carla that the Alpha of her pack was her mate. She imagined Carla being surprised and shouting gibberish. She ditched the thought. He was doing well at Ignoring her and she was not going to make a fool of herself by trying too hard to make him speak to her.. he was infuriating enough!"Well, after the training today, maybe you should come to my rooms and let's stay together,". Audrey offered.. it was the first time she was making friends with someone. The first time she was inviting a friend to come and be with her in her room and she was comfortable with the thoughts. Johnson would be happy for her. He had often complained that she had no friends and that to him was really wrong for a girl her age."Of course. I am definitely coming!"Carla replied, excited. " Yo
While they continued to walk around the pack house, Audrey stopped suddenly."Carla, I had an invitation to a party that will be holding in town, at a werewolf bar, let us go together!" She invited with excitement. "Wow. That is just about the kind of distraction I need and I will like to come!" Audrey laughed, wondering what she needed to be distracted from. She was also relieved that they will not have to talk about finding mates and falling in love with mates since they had found a new topic of discussion. That was exactly what she had tried to come up with until she had remembered the invitation."The party is to hold tomorrow evening and you can come to my room and see which of my dresses will fit you if you did not come with yours," Audrey offered. She was almost of the same body build with Carla and she knew without doubt that her dress will fit Carla. Talking of dresses, she had many of them that she would not notice if one went missing everyday for one year. It was that muc
