Ooh, Nathan, he is a sophomore student here , did not know he had it in him" Stella said and rolled his eyes. "Yes, Yes I know he is a sophomore student what else do you know about him, I was shocked when I saw him at this party, he happens to be childhood friends with Derrick and I " she replied. " Well, honestly I don't know much about him, all I know is that he had an ugly past in Boston, this made him to relocate to Cleveland " Stella said. "Ugly past?" Sophie inquired and was shocked he did not tell her anything despite the fact that they had been in constant Communication. " I don't know though, but rumour has it that he raped someone in Boston" Stella said in hushed tones . Sophie opened her mouth in amusement, that was not the news she was waiting to hear, she thought of money laundering, kidnapping and other stuffs but Rape was a big thing and she did not know how to swallow the Information. " Wait you didn't know Soph, I thought you were childhood friends he ought to have to
Sophie on the other hand also woke up with a big hangover, but this time Derrick was not there for her, he had placed everything she needs to get better at arm's length but he knew he would not stay there, he could not stand vomit and what's more could not stand a drunken person when they are having hangovers and this she already knew, so she had to take care of herself. She knew how caring Audrey was and knew that Audrey would never leave Stephanie like that because he loved her. "This jerk, he left me all to myself" she screamed , "why did I choose to fall in love with him, at least he got me some painkillers and helped me to bring my food in and he also made me some coffee, how romantic" she said in a sarcastic tone. I Unknown to her, Derrick was just in the adjacent room monitoring all her activities through the security systems so if she ever needed his help he would be able to rush in, he kept laughing and admiring how she was cursing at him the time she thought he was not there
As both friends saw each other they bumped into each other, giving one another a very big hug to the amusement of those who stayed around them and onlookers too. After the exchange of pleasantries, Sophie made sure she introduced Stephanie to Stella. "Stella met Stephanie,and Stephanie met Stella 7" she said , they both shook hands and hugged each other. "Stella is my long time friend. We go wayyyyyy back from high school, she even lives in Cleveland here before she left for Boston" Sophie said. "Wow, Boston, I live there too but I'm currently in New York, I go to New York University" Stephanie said. "Then what are you doing in Cleveland?" Stella asked . "Sightseeing," she replied. "I love traveling," she continued. Sophie shook her head at Stephanie she knew She didn't want to reveal that she is with Audrey so she decided to pry into her business. "Let's come in," Stella said after she noticed they had been standing outside for too long. They all went inside the party venue, Sophie c
Roland, Stephanie and Audrey all decided to step out to the goods together, on getting to the woods . They found the other pack of wolves who had come hunting for food and wanted to stay away from their human lives for a while. When they saw the three of them had come to interrupt, they began growling and made preparations to start chasing them as they had come with a human. "You guys need to chill out you know, you might hurt someone here" Roland said calming them down "She is a human I know but she is also my son's mate" he continued. "What do you mean, Alpha, what do you mean that she is your son's mate, couldn't your soon have found another wolf to mate or even a vampire that would be more manageable than a human" one of the wolves said in wolf language, this was a language that Stephanie they did not understand . "I know but this is the only person that actually matched my son's energy and ever since they met their bond have become stronger and inseparable" Roland said " She isn'
Suddenly a wolf jumped to Stephanie's front, which made her really frightened, " hey, hey, leave my front right now" Stephanie said directing the wolf to leave her front but the wolf kept standing and staring preventing her from escaping further, this made Audrey and his father to catch up with them "You did not tell me you were a runner in secondary school" Audrey teased. "Please just listen to me for once , just stop running away, we would figure this out , we would go to New York and figure this out transforming into a werewolf is not as easy as you think" he said. It was just then he noticed the wolf who prevented Stephanie from running. "Sophie,what are you doing here?" he asked. He looked at his father as if he was expecting an answer from his dad too, Roland shook his head in negation. "Hey calm down, Aud, I knew you guys were coming to the woods so I decided to follow and peek on what you are saying or doing" she said. "Jeeez Soph so if we were coming to fuck each other, you w
After a while, both Sophie and Derrick leave the room, so the two lovers can have a civil conversation. "Heyy, babe" Audrey said "I'm sorry, he came over to our house, I did not know that he was invited" he continued. "It is not your fault really, I understand I know you would not want something bad to happen to me" Stephanie said giving him a reassuring smile. Both of them looked at each other as if they hadn't seen each other before. He looked at her with admiration and began striking her hair while trying to remove some hairs that got stuck at the front. He imagined what his life would have been if he had not met her earlier on. They just met and he could not imagine a life without her. "You know, I was actually surprised to meet him in the living room, Sophie said that she tried introducing Jim to me at the party but I was so drunk that I did not answer her" she said and laughed. "Actually, how wasted were you that day" he teased "How did you know him?" Audrey asked, looking at he
Audrey stayed back to ponder on everything Nanny Maria had said, he then knew there and then that he had to be stronger for Stephanie, it made him want to go back to school the more. He hoped that Stephanie would overcome whatever she was going through at the moment, he hated to see her in pain and wished there was something he could do to make her feel better. He decided to put a call through to Mirabel to see if she would open up to him too; he needed to find out the truth before they left for New York. He did not know how he would react if he ever found out that his suspicions turned out to be right. So he picked up his phone and put a call through to Mirabel. "Heyyyyy" he said when she picked up the call. "How's Stephanie?" she asked, sounding worried. "I'm sorry I could not come straight away. I booked the last flight to Ohio but had to cancel it as I had an emergency test that day" she said. "It's fine Mirabel" he replied giving out a smile because he knew just how much Mirabel
After Nanny Maria's scolding they proceeded to their various rooms with Derrick and Audrey still giving each other attitude. Nanny Maria knew they would settle their differences; it was just a matter of ego going on between them. "I'm sorry" Stephanie apologized when the duo got to her room. She was at the point of breaking down, she had seen enough drama for the day and she did not know what she could do to fix everything that was going on, she had disrupted the once peaceful Brown family even if they did not get along before now at least they tolerated each other. She felt guilty for inviting Nathan to the house, if Nathan had not come maybe all the drama that happened would have been averted. "I should not have invited Nate to this house, I would have avoided this thing by just listening to you" she said breaking down in tears. Derrick could not bare seeing her in tears, Sophie hardly ever cried she only shed tears on few occasions so he knew that her bursting into tears at that po
