Trapped with the Alpha

As both of them ran together, she then told him to stop as she was running out of breath.

“Stop Audrey, I’m tired already, where are we even going?” She asked.

He then decided to stop and stretched his hand towards her,

“Let’s go, I want to show you something he said .

They both walked till they got into the woods holding hands, she then became curious wondering why he said he wanted to show her something, curiosity got the best of her but she decided to keep going knowing fully well that Audrey would do nothing to hurt her.

“He loves me” she thought to herself

As they got inside the woods she admired how serene and beautiful the environment was, it was quiet too she considered just coming into the woods for a walk if not that it would be dangerous walking there alone as different animals would be roaming around.

It was not long after they had gotten into the woods when they started hearing strange noises from inside, Audrey recognised the noise and decided to go deeper into the forest telling Stephanie to follow his lead.

He used his footsteps to trace where the noise was coming from and was finally able to get the source; what he saw shocked him beyond marrows.

His father had told them they were going home, he wondered what he was doing in the woods, he scanned around for his brother and did not seem to find him suddenly he heard wolf-like noises coming towards them. He told Stephanie to stay behind himProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Stay back and don’t move until I say so, these are werewolves coming towards us and they are in their wolf form, they don’t care, just stay with me and do what I say”. He said

She instantly became scared of what was going on.

” Why did I follow you inside this scary place?” she said while shaking.

He didn’t even answer her, all he was concerned with was everything going on at the moment and why his father seemed to be in the midst of wolves in his human form.

They kept watching from a distance to see if Derrick would show up but he didn’t, suddenly the seemingly calm environment turned violent as his father had already turned into a wolf, he noticed the gathering was becoming violent and they started talking in angry voices so be quickly hid Stephanie so she won’t be easily noticed and instructed her not to come out under any condition until he comes for her.

” Oooh God, what’s all this please forgive me if I’ve offended you” Stephanie began lamenting and crying.

Audrey could not help laughing at how she was reacting , he decided to leave her and check up on what was going on, as he got closer he recognized the People his father was in an argument with.

” Are these not the people that killed his mother” he thought to himself

” What is my father doing with them and when in God’s name is Roland?” he said.

It was at that point he turned back to see Derrick standing behind him

” If you know what’s good for you take Stephanie out of this place, this place isn’t safe for her just yet, knowing fully well she might still be a human””Derrick said

“What do you mean she’s still a human? ” Audrey asked and turned back to meet his brother.

” You see those people with Father are the same ones who killed mum” he replied his brother, ” and they got wind that you brought a girl home they are hoping it’s a woman ” he continued

” I do not understand, what is their business with the fact that I brought a human home” Audrey asked getting pissed

” Bro, no need to start getting angry I’m just letting you know the situation of things on ground ” Derick told him

” You know it’s almost time for the full moon, I think they need you to speed up your process with her and get her to be yours before the full moon” Derrick said.

” Plus you have a competition in getting to be the Alpha crown prince ” Derrick said, “not me though, I stepped down. I figured that if you could leave Sophie for me, I knew how much you loved her it’s only wise I leave something you’ve always wanted to be ” he further continued.

,” Besides we have lost so much as a family I would not want to lose a brother because of our differences” He said and walked away.

Audrey didn’t seem to know why he was pissed at Derrick, since their mum died he never abandoned him and always looked after him like a brother should, but he kept pushing him away because in his mind they were both responsible for his mother’s death and to make matters worse Derrick didn’t show up on his mother’s burial, so he felt offended that he would treat their mother like that.

He noticed as Derrick walked into thin air leaving specks of dust behind him, he also noticed how the gathering was becoming violent and he didn’t want Stephanie to see how violent they could get.

He had to choose between protecting her and defending his family, hell he didn’t even know what he was defending them for, he didn’t know what they were fighting for.

“Maybe it was for the position of alpha crown prince, just like my brother said” he thought.

He then turned back to Stephanie so they could both go home and he could ensure she was safe, he tried calling the chauffeur to come pick them but he found out there was no signal on his phone neither was there signal on Stephanie’s phone too.

” Why are we going home” she asked

” Isn’t it obvious Steph, I don’t want you to witness how violent this thing will turn out” he said

” But you have a family to protect there, your father and your brother are both there”

“Steph, you are a human in the midst of wolves deep in a forest it is my Job to protect you, besides I don’t think you have gotten the ability to transform to a wolf yet” he said

” What does that mean?” she asked. She needed to ask yeh question because it was confusing for her.

” It means I did not mark you enough to turn you into a wolf” he said

She did no’t know whether to feel elated with this news or feel sad that she didn’t get to become one.

“Ooh” she said sounding upset

“Wait I want to get something is someone sad or unhappy that I did not get to turn her into a werewolf” he teased

“No” she said , “can we leave this place, it does not feel safe” she added

” Yeah yeah we would” he said

“I just need you to follow my lead, and hide yourself” he added.

Both parties walked quietly along the path leading outside the forest, they had not walked for long when they were accosted by the ravens.
