Alaric’s PovThe more she cried, the angrier and dirtier the thoughts of what I would do to Asher. It took a lot of patting and soft words before she closed her eyes and fell asleep on my chest, and even her puffy eyes made my wolf growl. I gently laid her on the bed, covering her up with the duvet and placing a soft kiss on her forehead before exiting the room as quietly as I could. And as I closed the wooden door slowly, all my nerves and muscles started to boil.I had no idea what Asher was trying to play at, bringing a fucking female to the house like that, his tongue all coiled up when he was supposed to talk, and acting as if he was sorry by putting on those stupid pitying eyes of his. He has made her cry. Not just a drop. But it's a huge one. And he didn’t even chase back after her. He did not move an inch, and the stupid blonde haired beside him.I barged into where I knew he was going to be, sighting the fucking head guard and signaling him to leave. My wolf growled out hig
Audrey’s Pov.My eyes fluttered open gently, feeling all sore and tired. I swallowed deeply, closing my eyes and reopening it to stretch on the bed. A yawn escaped my lips as i stood up, stretching out again before sitting still on the bed. Everything came running down in my brain again, how he walked in, his words, his eyes, everything that happened before I cried myself in Alaric’s arms and slept off.“Stop!” I yelled out, closing my eyes, and using my hand to block it as the light came on.“You’re finally awake, Princess. I thought you’ve already turned sleeping beauty.” His voice softly said.I opened my eyes again, slowly and trying to balance it with the light. My eyes went to him and met his immediately. He passed me a small smile, looking at me with nothing but pity and a softness I did not like. “How long have you been sitting there?” I asked, stifling a yawn from my mouth.“Long enough to watch all your sleeping positions while sleeping. For a princess, you need to honestly
Audrey’s POVDinner was silent for the first time since I got here. There was no discussion about how my day went, the occasional glances from Alaric, or expecting him to disrupt the table, and a part of me missed that. The only thing close to that was the burning stare I was getting from both parties, Asher and his so-called girlfriend.I continued to pick through my food; my appetite had already lost the instant I set my eyes on her, but when I tried to leave the room, Asher drew me back and begged me to eat.“So Audrey..”I looked up to meet her eyes, taking in her beauty. Her eyes had this cunningness to them, peering deeply into your soul and wanting to know every one of your dark secrets,“Is this where you live now?”Even though her question was not harmful, every part of my body, the hair on them, went on edge, standing up and taking a defensive stance. I carefully dropped my fork, our eyes boring into each other’s, “yes, is there a problem?”“Nope.” She laughed out, her gaze
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
