The doorbell rang propelling me forward to the door to check up on who might be visiting. I looked through the peephole and saw a man standing there. I opened the door slowly.
" Good afternoon, ma'am. I am here to deliver this package to you." He said, and I noticed the bag in his hands. He brought out a paper. " Please sign here." He said. " I don't remember ordering anything," I said. He issued a secretive smile like he knew something that I didn't. " Yeah, you'll know who it is from when you open it." He said. Okay? I collected the bag and shut the door not without saying thank you. " Alright, let's get to it," I muttered and opened the bag. A beautiful purple dress stared at me. I ran my hands over the material. Silk. It was expensive, I reached into the bag again and found a red designer stilettos. A note was pinned to the shoe. " A lovely dress for aAubrey's POVThe car stopped in front of a huge building and I was wowed by its sheer magnificence. The array of flowers around the house and the waterfall at the center of the driveway was a masterpiece. I couldn't wait to see how the interior looked. It was ten minutes to midnight. I hope that I was in time for it. Whatever it was. Meg had told me that they would be going for a run tonight.A few men were already standing outside the house when the car stopped, they were probably guards. The front door opened and Meg came rushing out. She had better be careful so that she didn't trip. I thought.Wasn't it weird that no one stopped the car at the gate? " Welcome, I've been waiting for you," Meg said and pulled me into a tight embrace. I moved back a little because of her protruding belly." Yeah, I hope I made it to the party," I said, feeling a bit self-conscious by the wolf gazes. " Do they know that I'm hu
Aubrey's POVHe advanced towards me with a loud growl deep enough to make anyone wet their pants. My heart responded by racing to the rhythm of fear as he stalked closer. Was he going to hurt me? I wondered. He was staring at me but not actually seeing me. Oh my goodness, why was no one saying anything?Rob groaned and he turned swiftly remembering his prey. I sighed in relief as his attention was shifted away from mine. Why did Rob even twitch a muscle in the first place? " Who allowed you into my house? How did you know that she is here?" He asked.Rob moved back again and I shook my head. Fear and guilt flickered in Meg's eyes, and she whispered. "Stop him, do something!"" No one." Rob replied as he took another step back.Mr. Knight cocked his head to the right as he walked closer. His talons protracted and my eyes widened. Oh shit! Things were going downhill so fast. " Hmm, I can
Aubrey's POV " Who would have thought that you would be this happy?" A voice spoke and I bunched my forehead and tried to make out the owner of the voice, but sleep had a strong grip on me."Get out, Josh." Declan replied in a neutral tone. " I'm sorry to cut short your moment of bliss but you need to attend to these Alphas. They're insisting to see you." Josh replied with seriousness. I felt the covers tilt a little before Declan rose, " I'll be with them shortly. Give me an hour." He replied. "That's more than enough time." Josh replied and chuckled when an object hit the floor with a loud thud. I guess it was a pillow. " I'm sorry, bro. It's good to see you happy." He said wistfully before leaving. " I know you are awake." Mr. Knight said after planting a kiss on my forehead, but I shut my eyes tighter. " These covers need to go off." He said and attempted to pull them off. " I was asleep." I replied and held onto them. He could yank them off if he wanted but he didn't. Inste
Aubrey's POV Wolves gathered in the training area. I wasn't prepared for the large sight I saw when we arrived. Although, I had a mental picture of what the pack would look like I didn't think that I would be driven to a gigantic building with a large expanse of land stretching on without boundaries. As if that was not enough, I was greeted with the sight of a sea of wolves. " I bet you never imagined this." Meg chuckled lowly as she stared at me with knowing eyes. "This is almost like a whole state. What's the average population?" I inquired. No wonder Mr. Knight was being treated like a king. How did he even manage to rule over these plenty of wolves?" We were about fifty-five thousand as at the last census." She replied and my mouth dropped. Was this the people I was supposed to govern? Where do I even begin? " When was that?" I asked. " Six years ago. Give or take, we should be around sixty-five to seventy thousand." She said casually like it was normal. " Stop staring at us
Aubrey's POV " Gring!" My alarm clock rang rudely the next morning and I groaned into the pillow. Don't you have an iota of respect for me? I muttered to the clock. It wasn't even that early, or so I thought. Just five more minutes I told myself and shut my eyes about to fall into sleep again when it rang yet again louder. What the hell? This stuff must be after my life. I concluded and rose to begin the day. The first thing I noticed was the cold on the other side of the bed. It was neatly laid indicating that he didn't sleep here last night and that got me thinking. If he didn't sleep here, where did he sleep?I exhaled and slipped my feet into my footwear. It's too early to start worrying my pretty head over stuff. I took a look at the culprit, it was just seven a.m. "I guess it's not too early." I said and went into the bathroom. I used his moisturizer again, well in my defense we were in winter and my skin needed all the moisture it could get. The house was silent when I walke
Aubrey's POV"She had no right." Meg exclaimed as I held her by the shoulder drawing her back from hitting Lila again." Says the pitiful woman who has nothing to her name." Lila retorted as she rubbed her eyes which she received the punch. " Get out of this place right now. That's why you haven't found a mate. Who would want you with all your baggage?" Meg replied angrily. "Make me." I held Meg back from lunging at her, she was very furious on my behalf. " Meg, it's okay, let her be." " She doesn't have no right to speak to you in that way. How dare she?" Meg replied angrily and I held on to her tight. I was afraid that she was going to do something terrible to Lila. "You have no right to tell me what to do. See you simping over a little girl. Tell her the truth, she will never be welcomed here. She wants to waste her life over nothing." " You are just a bitter woman." Meg shouted at her. " Why don't you leave, Lila? You are stressing her." I suggested and Lila turned his eyes
Aubrey's POV "I hope I don't look overdressed." I muttered when Meg finished dressing me up. My waist was so snatched that one would think that I was auditioning to be a runway model. " What? That bitch of a girl must have been disturbing him since morning, he needs a breath of fresh air around him." Meg said and took one long look at me, before hugging me. " You are so beautiful. I hope he has control tonight." She said with a teasing wink." This isn't a hookup night." I replied begrudgingly as I looked into the mirror. A stunning woman stared back at me. "It might look like I'm trying too hard." I complained. This was different from my regular look.She snorted, " Who cares what they think? Their opinions are invalid. You are going to see the love of your life after two days. It's worth it." She said and cupped my chin softly. " My dear, he will love to see you in this dress." She said. " Alright, are we forgetting anything?" She muttered and waved her hands in the air as she tr
Mr. Knight's POV " What the fuck are you doing here, Claire?" I growled at the naked woman on my bed. How dare she come into my room?" " That is no way to treat your wife, Declan." She sneered at me before rising and strutting down the room like a peacock. " You have been entertaining ladies since my absence. She is your daughter's age." She said." Thanks, Captain Obvious. For the love of old times sake. Get out of my room." I said. I was this close to throwing her out of my room in her naked glory. " This is no way to treat your wife." I chuckle darkly. Was she expecting a warm welcome? She must be delusional. " Gather your shit and get out of my room." I said. I had nothing to say to her. She strutted towards me and I growled loudly in warning. " For fucks sake, Declan. You have become cruel." She hissed and gathered her belongings. " This is not the last of me. I am coming to see my daughter." She called loudly when she exited the room.Whew! My head was messed up and I picke
