They both crashed to the ground. Audrey was not going to play weak while Chloe meted all that pain on her. Chloe was on her and she was beneath.. Chloe soon rose to her feet and fumed.. Audrey managed to stand too, staggering backwards a bit.. she was not going to stand where it would be easy for Chloe to hurt her."If you have come to kill me, just know that I am not going to make it easy for you in any way," Audrey said, breathing heavily, her legs trembling.. she was not a weak woman and was not going to start being one because she was afraid."Let us see how you intend to do that, shall we?" Chloe asked still without moving from where she was standing. Audrey was braced for the next blow and her eyes followed every single movements that Chloe made. Chloe began to walk backwards in the tent. The place was not furnished and there was room enough for her to pace. She soon stopped, never turning her back on Audrey.. of course she knew that Audrey might cease the opportunity to hurt he
When Audrey woke up, she was aware of terrible pains shooting through her body and she needed no one to convince her that her life was a miracle.. perhaps, she could have been dead and her body would be sent to her father or to Ron. She could not move a limb from where she was.. she rolled her eyes to see the chair that she recalled blacking out on but it was no longer there.. she was not lying next to the chair. She was aware of something covering her lower body. Her eyes moved to her lower body and there was seated by her feet, Clara.. she seemed to have been sobbing.. her nose has a runny nose and she was biting into her already swollen red lips. When she saw Audrey's eyes come open, she was excited. She smiled."You are awake. I'm happy you are," she said.. Audrey tried to speak but even her mouth felt too painful to speak and so she gave up on the idea of speaking.. she could not also nod or move.. the blanket covering her lower body was the same one that Clara had brought to h
Ron and his men where in the woods for long without any hint on where the Rogues Could be. "We are all going back now!" Ron said to his men at a point in their search. They were surprised but they obeyed and they returned back to the Blood moon pack, taking a shorter route than they had used previously. Robert did not say anything as they returned because he knew when it was best to question Ron and when not to question him and at the moment all he was doing seemed right. When they arrived the pack, the men where restless but Ron seemed to know what he was doing. He always did, anyways.Carla was concerned that the development did not involve finding Audrey yet but she said nothing too. When they were at the pack, the men where still brimming with energy knowing that anything could happen at anytime.Chloe was in the pack house soon with the others who were Carla and Robert and Ron. She was in one of the halls, alone when Ron reached her. She saw how dark his gaze was and was tota
There was silence on both sides as Mike stood with Audrey's hair in his hands. Ron wanted nothing more than to reach him and set Audrey free and he had a hard time trying to wait for the the most appropriate time so that he would not hurt her. "Ron! It has been a long time since we last set eyes on each other, pal!" Mike called out, his voice laden with anger and spite, yet, he tried hard to be humorous and lighthearted in his speech."It has indeed been a long time and I am only wondering why you ask for my trouble by keeping my mate hostage," Ron replied. That was one thing that led Mike Corey to give his usual humourless laughter. He laughed a lot when he was in trouble and when he was to cause trouble but not on any instance did he never laughed for a good cause and neither was his laughter genuine at any point."Well, you really do amuse me Ron and i appreciate that. I see you are being the tough guy all over again, taking out my men and slowly outnumbering us without any effort
Robert was angry that the lady that Carla had saved had had to suffer such abuse from Mike. "So she was abducted!"He said when Carla mentioned that she was not a member of the rogues. She had been taken hostage and Mike had found her attractive and decided to use her as an object of pleasure, forcing himself on her when he wanted to, not caring about her feelings nor listening to her pleas..he was that wicked with a heart of stone and no one would pity him, seeing him die the way he had by Ron's hand."He had to be the most wicked idiot there ever existed..how could he do that to her?" He asked, pissed. There was no response from Carla..she was still staring ahead. Once, she was on her feet."I think I should go to her now. She was with the maid. She is still recovering from all the pains she went through. You know, they beat her up for a lot of flimsy reasons. Those men, all evil," she said as she left the place. Robert nodded and left right after she did. He was right behind her.
Clara was in the room where Carla had shown her when a knock sounded on the door..she sprang up and went to the door, she opened it and right there was her regular visitor, Carla who made sure to check up on her on daily basis and see that she was fine and lacked nothing."Hello, Carla," she beamed as she saw Carla's face."Hello. Robert told me that the Alpha is awake and I was going to go see him. Will you come with me?" Carla asked."Of course!" She exclaimed" hold on a second while I throw on this dress that you sent me and then we can be on our way," she said as she stepped back inside, leaving the door open for Carla who had no desire to go inside. She stood out there and waited for her to finish and then they ascended the stairs together, eager to go see Ron who had woken up for the first time since the last three days after the fight with Mike Corey. When they reached the door of the room that led to where Ron was, they both sighed and looked at each other."Let us go inside
Robert stood by Clara's door for long wondering what she could be doing in the room. He sighed. He was going to have to leave her until she was able to crawl out of the carapace of reserve she had built around herself by virtue of being a once brutalized woman.. he totally understood if she was terrified at the sight of him for that reason. He turned to leave but the door came and she reached her hand out, he gave her the flowers and left as he had promised. He did not get to see her face or her sparkling eyes. He left as he had promised because that was one way to get her trust.While he walked down the hall, he ran into Carla who was not in the best of moods because Ron was equally not in a good mood. He stopped abruptly when he saw her. His mood had been dampened."Hey, Carla. How is Ron? Did you go to see Audrey today?""Ron is sad. Audrey is yet to wake and that puts him in the worst mood. Does same to me too." She said. Robert sighed."Don't worry, we are all going to be fine in
By the time Carla saw Clara to her room, she was in a better frame of mind and she asked about Audrey and expressed her worry and her wish to have Audrey wake up soundly. "She will be fine soon. The physicians have said that she is going to live. Her chances of living are not slim. It is not longer a thing of chance," she said. Clara nodded and then retired."Have a good night, Clara," Carla said as she turned to leave."He is not a bad man," she blurted out at once.. Carla stopped and spun on her heels, turning to look at her."What man? You mean Robert?" She asked, she was aware that he had to be one. Was he not the one they had both spent the day with? She could not be possibly talking about someone else."Yes. The beta who gave me flowers yesterday. The one we were with today. He's a good man, right?" She asked this time only to get the affirmation she was sure of getting."Sure. He is a good man. Take it from me. He is your mate too. I know how difficult it is for you to find y
