**Audrey's POV**I woke up with a start when I heard a loud alarm blaring, signaling that it was the middle of the night.I looked at the clock close to where I laid and saw that it was already 4:04 AM, meaning that it was still too early to be up. After a second's thought, I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs where the noise came from and was surprised when I saw other slaves running up and down the hallway.I frowned in confusion wondering what must be happening until I saw Maria from afar and I ran to her."What's happening?" I asked."Go and collect your duty schedule immediately." She pointed to the line I had first walked past.I ran towards them standing in line immediately, they all were so busy running around and yelling and screaming that they didn't even notice me standing there until one pushed right into me causing me to fall on my butt as she yelled. She laughed loudly, without bothering about apologies; and then continued running, ignoring me completely and
**Audrey's POV**The sound of his voice made me shiver, but not in fear. I couldn’t quite explain why I suddenly got goosebumps all over; it almost felt like he had awoken something in my body, something I couldn’t quite understand."I said, who did this to you?" He asked as his hand went towards my face gently, but firmly. I winced from the contact, not sure of what his intentions were.I tried not to let my tears fall as he continued, his grip on my face tightened and he leaned closer. "Who." He demanded again."Uhm." I didn't know what to say, what could I say? "It doesn't matter anymore." His eyes widened slightly."Whenever I ask a question, I demand an answer so don't go telling me shit like it doesn’t matter when it obviously does!" He snarled in my face, I swallowed.Being in close proximity with him was alarming, I was aware of him, everything about him, how good he smelt, I wanted to sniff him right now, he was beautiful. My eyes wandered across his body, looking for flaw
**Kaden's POV**Walking away from her that day was the hardest thing I had ever done. She was like a virus that I had no cure for and I couldn’t help but think about her at every passing hour. I couldn't help it, her scent was intoxicating, everything about her was amazing; it drew me in, mesmerizing me.I wanted to run to the slave quarters and call her back. I wanted her, everything about her and even bed her immediately if she would agree to.She awoke the lust I didn't know I had in me, something I didn't really feel with my former mate, the mate pull was worse this time.I felt so drawn to her, even in the night while trying to sleep, she was in my thoughts.I stood up walking to the window, lost in thoughts. I looked out the window to the vast land beneath, showing silver rays of the moon shine down on me.It was a clear night sky, no clouds were around. The stars were out too and I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by it as I stared outside.A breeze swept through the window, ca
**Audrey's POV**My heart thumped loudly in my chest. I could still remember her stern instructions vividly, I’d planned on following it too but now I cannot remember how I’d been so drawn to the king that I totally forgot to stay away from him. As soon as she flew past the doorway like a bird, I immediately released my grip on him, and took a few steps backwards while I ignored his eyes that were presently narrowed at me.My breathing and pulse were ragged as I thought of what she would probably do to me now that she’d seen me, but at the same time, I tried to control myself, she was no God but simply someone I could easily maneuver my way around."What's wrong?" He asked and I immediately shook my head, forcing a smile.Almost immediately, I bowed to him and rushed out of his office, with my mind preoccupied with thoughts of how I would avoid the bitchy woman’s wrath.I walked quickly, stopping at the flower garden. It was quiet, peaceful, quite the best place to hide for a whi
**Audrey's POV**My eyes widened when I saw him. He looked clueless as he stepped out of the bathroom.His towel was wrapped tightly around his waist, his hair still wet, now had damp curls falling across his face, the water dripped down his chin, and down onto the floor, creating puddles on his feet.He looked so deliciously attractive and absolutely clueless that I wanted to touch his wet hair and frolic through its soft curls. I stared longingly at him, with my cheeks flushed. I could feel my cheeks heat up from the way he was looking so intensely into my eyes as if in search of clues; but then suddenly I looked away, feeling like quite an idiot for not being able to control myself around him. "I'm sorry." I muttered, glancing away.I couldn't help myself, my eyes trailed down the length of his body, from where I stood, I could see every single line, and every single crevice in his body; they called out to me, indulging me.His muscles were strong and defined, his chest slight
**Audrey's POV**I clamped my hands tightly and pressed my lips into a thin line as the door creaked open while I waited for whoever it must’ve been to come in.As soon as I saw that it was the man who showed to me the slave quarters the very first day I came here, I heaved a sigh of relief, ignoring the way the King started at me in confusion.I didn't know much about him and didn't want to, the fact that I knew he was harmless; and that he was the Lycan king's friend as well as his second in command was more than enough reason to feel slightly comfortable."There you are." He stood at the entrance, looking at me, and back at the king."Good evening, Beta." I bowed quickly, suddenly finding my voice.He stared at me, a small smile playing on his lips, "Hello there." He greeted me with a smile, which made me look confusedly up at him. The words sounded strange coming out of his mouth, even the expression on his face was quite inexplicable; almost like he was suggesting something.
*Kaden's POV*"Wow you're enjoying yourself." Adler chuckled loudly as soon as she practically ran out of the room, and even continued after she had finally disappeared down the corridor..At first I paid no attention to him but simply watched her run until I could no longer see her. I immediately turned to give him the stink eye.“You’re not going to try explaining the scene I was met with when I walked in here?” He asked cockily, and I rolled my eyes as I leaned on the door.“No.” I deadpanned.I saw the suggestive grin on his face, one that I really wanted to wipe off, but I said nothing about it. I knew him well enough to know that talking to him about it would mean an extremity of extreme teasing.I suddenly remembered how close she had been against me and the way her sweet feminine fragrance had assaulted my senses.I almost kissed her. I wanted to though because her lips had looked soft, really inviting; it looked like home. Her presence had filled me with a sudden surge of wi
**Audrey's POV**A sudden chill went down the length of my spine as soon as he growled. It was so intense that I instantly felt a tad bit cold and my body shivered with anticipation. Everyone looked at him the same way I did, staring at him in surprise, wondering why a king would want to train with a slave like me."King Kaden, you shouldn’t have to bother." One of his men said confusedly. I could hear the harsh whispers in the crowd but tried very much to ignore it. I was already bothered enough as it is to listen to something else that would bother me even more..His eyes narrowed, making him look more dangerous than usual and I noticed how the soldier stepped away from him as if to escape him.His voice was low as he replied. "Yes I do.""It's going to be weird for us." Another one of them said."Seeing you train a slave." He added."You think that's important?" He snarled."Well no but-""It doesn't matter." He sighed."You train the others and I'll train her." He held my waist.
