MAGNUS' POV“I don't forgive you.“ She says, shocking us both. Audrey was not a vengeful person. She couldn't hold a grudge to save her life. Which was why I was deeply shocked to hear her say that.Alexa looked at me for help. I simply shrugged. I don't know what to do, either.“But…”“You know why? Because you almost cost me my happiness, and I didn't even do anything to you. You just thought it'd be okay to do those things to me. You want something that will never be yours, and you don't mind who you hurt in the process. I've been through a lot with Magnus, and you almost made me run to protect my baby, so yes, I don't forgive you.““Babe.“ “You can apologize. You can even be sincere about it, but I don't forgive you. That, I can do. You don't deserve it, and I won't do it. I'm not that magnanimous, sorry.“She was apologizing for not forgiving someone. This was the type of behavior that made me more obsessed with this woman.“Alpha Magnus.“ She whispered as if I had any say in it

44MAGNUS' POV“He's dead to me.“ She whispered as she collapsed in my arms, with the most broken expression on her face. I wondered what transpired between them that made her like this.“I'm sorry, baby.“ The first conversation we had about her father came back to me.“You're the Beta's daughter, aren't you?““Yes.“ She said nonchalantly,as if she could care less if she was or not.“What? You don't like it?““Like what?“ Her tone was becoming irritated.“Like you don't like being Beta's daughter.““It's not all that people think it is.“ She shrugged. “He's not all that, either.““It doesn't sound like you're a big fan of the man.““I put up with him, don't I?““But what if…”“Can we just drop it? I don't exactly want to talk about my father when I'm having a good time.““You're having a good time, huh? I better not ruin it.“ I smoothly changed the subject.For the remainder of that day, Audrey refused to speak to me or anyone. She huddled in bed and has been in that position all day

ALEXA'S POV“Hello, baby sis.“ He smiled at me like it was completely normal for him to be here or as if we were in our pack.“What are you doing here? When did you get here? Did you come for me? Wait… how come you are sneaking around? Can't you be here?““One question at a time.“ He said. “Long story short, I'm not supposed to be here but I am, aren't I?“I suddenly hugged him. “Whoa. Someone missed me, huh?““I did.“ I breathed him in. He smelled like home.“It's too dangerous here. Do you know Lucas's house?““Who's Lucas?“He pressed a paper into my hand. “That's the direction. Meet me there tonight.““I can't exactly go out.““Why? You're not a baby.“ His tone was indignant.“Something happened and now I'm being watched at everytime of the day.““What?!““Long story.“ I sighed.“Whatever. Just make sure you meet me back there. You can tell me everything then.“He sneaked out without waiting for my explanation. I sighed and went back into the house.I went back to my room early th

AUDREY'S POVMagnus and I have been seeing less and less of each other. I only feel him when the bed dips as he joins me in bed late at night. He leaves before I wake, and I wake up to his cold side of the bed, so I know he's been long gone.This morning, though I woke up earlier than him, I could at least see his face. I never get to see him during the day either. He has been following guards on patrol trips and just generally tightening our security. As Luna too, I've been spending more time with the women of the pack. They readily accepted me, and I feel more comfortable in the pack even though I have lived here all my life.“Good morning.“ I watched him squint in the morning sun.“What time is it?“ He hurriedly rolled off the bed.“A little after 8.““What? I'm so late.““You're the Alpha.“ I chuckled.“I have a lot of things to oversee. I promised to train with the guys.““Wow.“ I muttered and stood up, too. “Are you okay?““Bloody hell no.“ I spat at him. “Doesn't it bother yo

MAGNUS POV“Let's talk about this: What is Alexa still doing here?“The direction the conversation took completely blew my mind. I stood there, speechless. I didn't know what to say to that.“You have nothing to say? I knew it!““Knew what? I was just surprised.““Surprised that I was able to figure it out?““Audrey, what? What is going on? I know you have all the right to be mad at me for standing you up, but you keep talking about things I don't understand. I don't like how much you're working yourself up. It can't be good for our baby.““Our baby? This baby is mine.“ She declared. She wrenched her hand free from mine before storming out of the room.I stood there for a minute to take in what just happened.An hour later, Mane entered my office.“My Alpha.““Mane.““Did Luna take it well? I'm sure she can't be angry at you for long.“She's not only angry, Mane. She was completely irate.““What? She didn't believe you.““I didn't even have a chance to explain the things that happened
