About To Have A Mild Stroke

He counted every word down as if it was laced with deadly explosives. She turned to look at him with panic in her eyes.

"Relax. I'm not breaking up with you." He laughed at her reaction.

"We need to talk? That's the line that usually leads to a breakup." She said, raising her brow at him.

She had grown to trust and love him for such a short time that she was so scared that at any moment the carpet could be pulled right from under her feet.

"What are we talking about?" She asked.

He was grinning at her but she still felt a pain deep in the pit of her stomach because she wasn't sure what to expect. Her wolf could feel her unease and threatened to unleash itself but she was able to tame it before it let loose.

"Relax, Stephanie. You look like you are about to have a mild stroke." He teased.

She tried her best to relax even for a little while but she soon realized just how impossible it was to perform such a simple action.

"Tell me already. You're going to kill me with suspense."

Audrey felt a little sick. He couldn't bring himself to say what he needed to say but he knew it was inevitable. It was just one of those things that needed to be done.

He pulled her close. "I don't want to hurt you. And I'm hoping you don't misunderstand me but I'm leaving."

She gasped and lost her color that very minute. She went so pale that Audrey got frightened that something bad might happen to her.

"Leaving? Where? How? I don't get it." She sounded frantic.

She pulled her hands away from his withdrawal with tears in her eyes.

"It's not like that. I got accepted into NYU. I will leave soon." He said rushing his words.

He was hoping to reduce her panic by telling her the news as fast as he could but he saw her expression fade away.

She got up to leave, avoiding Audrey's worried stares. He reached her on time and held on to her before she had the opportunity of storming away. 

"What's wrong?" Audrey asked, his voice was thick with fear emanating from deep within him.

"Let go." She struggled to break free.

"Talk to me please." He pleaded with his whole being.

"Let go of me." She yelled.

He let go out of shock. He couldn't understand why she had yelled at him. Stephanie felt like her whole world was crumbling down finally and it was hard for her to draw in oxygen. She couldn't even think properly anymore.

"Just go. That's what you all do isn't it?" She yelled some more through the tears.

He couldn't understand what was happening as much as he tried to get a grip on the situation. She was pushing him away for whatever fucked up reason she had for doing something like that without even putting his feelings into consideration.

The feeling of hurt slowly morphed into anger and rage that threatened to drown him. He looked at her remembering just how much he had hated her not so long ago and why he had hated her.

"Fuck it!" He grunted. "If that's what you want then let's end it."

Stephanie felt a huge part of her break into a million pieces at his word and her tears flowed down an endless stream through her face. She jerked from the grips of erratic sobs.

"Fine. Do it." She said with conviction.

He turned his face away from her. He didn't want her to see the tears in his eyes forcing its way through the external rage.

"I reject you."

Audrey Brown the first legitimate child of Sir Roland Brown  and twin brother of Derrick Brown, he belongs to the wealthy Brown clan as his father  is the biggest and most influential shareholder in Brown holdings limited, a company situated in Cleveland, Ohio. Audrey had everything going for him apart from one thing, his love life.

 He  is a werewolf who had been married to Sophie, the daughter of Catherine his dad's former lover but due to the fact that Sophie had a stronger bond with his twin brother he let her go and hoped to find a better  mate so he could become the Alpha crown prince.  After his sojourn in Ohio he wanted more for himself, a better life and  hopes of reviving his dead love life so he applied to  New York University  to study 

 Computer Science. He was to resume in the Fall. He  told his dad and brother after he had gotten admission and preparations were made for him to resume at NYU.

     Time flew by and he arrived at the most popular city in America, New York to begin his academic journey. The day he got to New York was a very draining one for him as he met a lot of hooligans on his way  and he tried all he could to hide his real identity as he got very angry at the way Humans were treating him. He arrived at the Washington Square Hotel  to spend the night before he went to campus the next day to start his registration.  After he got settled in the hotel, he went out for a walk  to catch a glimpse of the new city he will be in for a long time. 

As he stepped out he entered a bar to take a few drinks, after a while his eyes caught the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.  He instantly became mesmerized by her beauty and the way she carried herself at the club.  Alas he thought to himself  "she most likely has no one with her that's why she's all by herself" so he ordered the bar man to send a bottle of Champagne to her which she kindly rejected.  After a while, she stood up and left the club, he also left  immediately hoping to  strike up a conversation with her but she seemed to move very fast as he lost track of her within the city.

      The next day, he set out to campus  to start his  registration and with hopes of meeting the girl he met the night before.  On getting to  school he had a lot of hardships navigating  around campus as  he did not know his way around. In a split second he finds a board that gives a vivid description of notable places  on campus, on seeing the board he finds that his first point of contact as a freshman is the Porter's lodge so he could be assigned to a dorm and settle in. 

The campus was filled with a beehive of activities, freshmen looking like lost puppies who have been separated from the owner. Sophomore and Final year students looked like the alphas of the school since they knew their way around. On getting to the road leading to the Porter's load he bumped into a long-time friend and pal, also a fellow werewolf like him named Austin . 

Austin was a sophomore English student  who also wanted a change of environment and needed a breathe of fresh air.
