Audrey’s PovI slept so well, more than I had ever rested in my entire time here, even more than when Asher told me he wanted to be with me. Yesternight was a moment I had always dreamed about, Asher breathing down on my neck, his hand on every part of me, kissing me, touching me, only just that he didn’t take me to his room and lay me down with him.But half-bread was better than none, and the fact that he did everything for me was more than enough. I was smiling as I absentmindedly stared at the maids clearing the room to take my morning bath.“My lady, the bath is ready.” One of them broke into my thoughts.I jumped up from the bed almost immediately, throwing the duvet away and dancing to the bathroom.I didn’t mind any of the stares I received from them. All that was on my mind was Asher and how he would be in breakfast, what he’d be wearing, how his hair would be packed, and how lovely he would look when he saw me.I wished I could brag into Selene’s face, tell her how much the p
Audrey's POV"Strip." He said, with an unreasonable soothing tone, but I didn't motion."Would you like me to repeat myself?" His eyes light up in flames of anger. "I said, Strip," He summed up.My lips tucked up into a small smile as my hand found the hem of my dress. Knowing how much my body craved for him since I stepped into his room, I decided to follow this one order, just this one, because I wanted it too. I pulled off my dress slowly, dropping it to the floor. Nervousness and excitement surged through me in all deliciousness. Our eyes pierced at each other, his eyes filled with lust and passion, raking my body through. I felt my heart leap up to my throat as he stood up, staring at me with his dark orbs and taking his steps cautiously towards me, like a cat who has taken an interest in his little mouse."Audrey..." He called out raspily, the corners of his lips tucked in a smirk.I felt my throat dry at his gape, the things only he could do to me. He continued to walk towards
Audrey's Pov"Fuck!" I curse, slamming shut the book I was reading.My eyes glanced to the door, obvious irritation and distaste on my face as I eyed it. This night was supposed to be silent, if not for anyone, but at least he should have taken it in for me, to let me have it for the death of my parents and partly his father. Today was the ritual night of my parents' death eight nights ago, yet the stupid bastard brother who showed up claiming the throne of the Alpha of Our pack won't even let them have it. I sat up from the bed, leaning on the headboard as I closed my eyes. I didn't want to bore myself with questions, which might lead to unnecessary accusations, but it deeply hurt. I have always thought people heightened the loss of someone's loved one, unnecessary crying, wallowing for months, and not moving on, but the sight of my parentsgasping for breath with black liquid pouring out of their mouths that night proved me wrong.Everything has been going well, from the food to t
Audrey's POVI woke up the following morning feeling sore all over but also pleased and eager at the same time. The maids cleaned me thoroughly, using diluted water to soothe my pain. Throughout the bath, I could only think of the sex we had last night. We didn't do much because of my pain, but he sank his teeth deep into my arm, which was slowly fading already.I didn't know why because all books claimed mate marks could last some days, but his was already leaving, and it wasn't even up to a day yet. As I sat on the chair where they dressed me, a knock interrupted my thoughts, and a guard came into view,"The crowned Alpha has sent for you." He said.I rolled my eyes to my head, flickering to one of the maids through the mirror as she stopped what she was doing on my hair. "Take me to him." He nodded as we both made our way outside. I could only stroll because of the pain down there, taking my time while he walked insignificant steps, glancing back occasionally to check on me. He o
Audrey's POVI gazed at him in shock. My lips slightly parted with words stuck between them. "Audrey, I don't understand. What happened last night?" My eyes widened a bit out of curiosity. "Wh…what...do...yo...last night, you and I?" I stuttered. He rolled his eyes away from me, leaving me in the utmost confusion. I didn't know whether he was joking or denying everything to me. My mind started to race. Was that the reason why he said my parents wouldn't like it? Was he trying to deny everything and not have anything with me? Didn't he want me last night when his hand roamed my body, touching and caressing me? Didn't he mean everything? Was it all for a joke when he sank his teeth into my shoulder?As I recalled the mark fading on my shoulder, I felt my eyes burn with questionable tears. Maybe it faded off because he had no interest in me. I closed my eyes, trying to stop the tears from spilling down and not embarrass myself in front of him. He didn't even spare me a glance anymo
Audrey's POVThe rest of the day passed in a twinkle of an eye. I could not even pinpoint what I did with it. After Alaric had left me alone in the room with warmth oozing out of my body, I decided to go for a stroll and walk till I could get him out of my mind, with only a thought on my mind. I had to find a way to keep his mouth shut. I had to reject Alaric and find a way to stop everything he did to me. And soon, it was evening, and I was seated in front of a mirror after a hot bath that the maids drew for me. I was lost in my thoughts about Alaric, trying to figure out why and how he had such a significant effect on me. It could not only be because we were mates. I was attracted to him,too, but was I that much attracted to a stranger?A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, the maid in my hair rushing towards the entrance to open it. I watched her through the mirror as she conversed with whoever was there before she closed the door and approached me, placing a squared box i
Audrey’s POV “She’s my mate, too,”Asher’s words echoed in my ear. Everything paused inside my thoughts, the eyes of the gleaming girls scorching on my skin, and even my wolf, Drea. Everything went still, leaving me with just my thoughts. How are Asher and Alaric both, my mate? How did it happen? I had thought it would only be Alaric, but yet. I gulped down, darting my eyes between the two brothers,who seemed to be fighting a silent battle with their eyes as if proclaiming both of their territories on me. I wanted to feel special then, with the little I’d heard from the maids. Both brothers were hot and the most wanted by all ladies, and I think I’d been blessed with them as mates. “I want her, Asher. I knew she was my mate and won’t beat around the bush. I want her to be mine.” I heard Alaric say, the rest of my thoughts going to the back of my head as I blinked rapidly. “Nope!” I shouted before even Asher could respond. The loud gasp from the females made me realise what I
Alaric’s POVFuck! I wish I could sweep her off her feet and take her to my room to fuck her until she moaned out my name. I clenched my jaw hard as her brown orbs kept inviting me in, wanting me to take her right there. Fuck! The way her throat moved, only if she knew she had the same effect on me as I had on her. “Hmm…” I continued, wanting to hear her response.If she said something about not being sure or yes, I swear to the moon goddess, I would lead her right in the face of everyone and take her to the room. “You can go and fuck yourself.” After a while, she said, her lips turned into a mocking smile as she walked away from me.I smirked as I watched her leave, my eyes roaming every part of her body. In my thoughts, the things I would love to do to her body. She was the first woman to have that effect on me, or probably because she was my mate. I couldn’t help but wonder if Asher was feeling that same way about her, wanting to be with her every time, hot for her, wanting to
