Audrey’s POV“Erik.” The name kept ringing like church bells in my ears.No wonder he’d been so unnecessarily nice to me in the past even though there had been some sort of bad blood going on between him and Kaden.A thought fleeted past my mind that that was his way of drawing me close, luring me in until I was fully enmeshed in his trap and it scared me.I shook my head, willing the thoughts of Erik out of my head and focusing my attention on the most pressing issues that had presented themselves but it was impossible as I couldn’t help but feel this uncomfortable sensation run up my spine whenever I remembered that my life was in danger.I couldn’t say exactly what I had done to Erik to make him want me dead but then decided that it was his form of getting back at Kaden, seeing as they had a right relationship going on.“What do you intend to do now?” I asked him in confusion as I couldn’t think of any other way we could avoid Erik finding out about my whereabouts… or even finding

Audrey’s POV“Argghh!” I groaned in frustration when the lamp in my hands suddenly went off.I felt my hands around the dark tent, and when I had finally gotten the match box I was looking for, I struck it only for it to go off again.I nearly exploded with frustration.A wild chilly wind suddenly made its way into the warm tent that had been built just for me; it ruffled my wild hair in such a way that sent strands of it into my eyes and mouth but I didn’t mind it.I didn’t care s about a lot of things right now as long as it didn’t rain.It came again, and this time it sent a shiver up my body and made my burn fire almost turn off at its strength; and for the first time since I started living alone in this cave, I feared for my safety.I worried even more because I couldn’t help but feel like something terrible was about to happen.I could definitely sense it but couldn’t quite explain it, and for a minute I thought about calling out to Kaden but then thought against it as this wasn

Audrey’s POVMy heart pounded frantically against my ribcage as I tried to run as fast and as stealthily as I could into one of the dark caves situated by the walls of a particular mountain around.It was high up and from here we could watch everything happening on the ground below without being noticed by whoever it was that had made that loud noise earlier.Ian ran closely behind like a bodyguard or something and as soon as we had successfully hidden ourselves within the confines of the cave, he brought out an elixir from his pants pocket and quickly sprayed it on himself and myself.“What’s that for?” I whispered in confusion, wincing as its terrible stench assaulted my nostrils.“It’s a spell… to hide your scent.” He whispered back and I nodded.My eyes widened in shock; I wanted to ask him how he got to possess something as powerful as that but held my tongue because I knew that this wasn’t a time to ask tons of questions or strike up a conversation.He seemed to understand my si

Kaden POV:“What’s your take in this issue, Alpha?” An elder asked me but I could only shake my head because the only thing I could think about at the moment was Audrey.My butt cheeks felt like it had suddenly been placed atop a hot plate, making it difficult for me to sit still. I couldn’t say exactly why I felt this way but I couldn’t help but think that it could be because Audrey was in trouble.That should explain why my heart pounded against my ribcage frantically for no reason at all. That should also explain this restlessness I am feeling right now.“Alpha?”“I am going to summon a meeting with the doctor, my beta and a few other prominent people of this pack and when we’re done, I’ll let you all know what the outcome of that meeting is.” I muttered mechanically and smiled inwardly when no one refuted my suggestion.“Why can it not be held here and now?” Someone said, and I didn’t need to look to know that it was no other person but Erik; I ignored him.The elders resumed thei

Audrey's POV:I was still bound in place with thick rubbery ropes; and my eyes stung when the blindfold was forcefully pulled off my face, making me gasp slightly from the pain. It almost felt as if my eyes were about to pull off with it. I frowned.I squinted into the overly bright room and nearly cried as a splitting headache wracked my head until my eyes began to hurt severely. While I tried getting myself together, I discovered that the place didn’t look familiar but had this familiar aura about it that I couldn’t quite place. I held onto the ground and tried observing the place. The headache persisted and I felt it was because I had been blindfolded for so long that my eyes had already adjusted to the darkness. No one was there and I wondered where the person who removed the blindfold had gone. I didn't want to bother myself about things like this.All I knew was that I have been here for some time and that I needed to leave... and fast. I still didn’t know why I wa
