Chapter 60
Lol, she is here she can hear you” Sophie said.”mum Audrey sends his greetings to you” Sophie said in whispers to her mum.
” So what is it again, you only deemed it fit to call us now right” she scolded him
” I’m sorry soph, since I got back to school I have been extremely busy and you know how it is over here, you have been to New York haven’t you?” He explained and began apologizing to her profusely; he knew he had messed up because Sophie never ever showed her grievances towards him.
“So how is Steph, I have missed her, she literally was my sister when she was here, I should come to NYC soon” she declared.
” That would be nice, I’m sure she would be more than happy to have you around, how are the packs, and every other person, are the Ravens still mad at me for bringing a human home” he said and chuckled.
” Yes, yes they are still mad, they are against their future Alpha having a human as a mate plus they are trying to bring up a contended for you, full moon is by the corner you know” she said
” Soph, I asked her out yesterday and she said yes,” Audrey told Sophie.
Sophie screamed in excitement as she was very happy for Audrey, he was one of the most important people in her lives and she was going to be happy whenever he was happy.
He waited for her to finish dreaming through the phone before she continued talking,
” So tell me how the proposal went,” she said in excitement.
” It went pretty well, I proposed to her in the most magical way” Audrey declared
” I trust you my boy” she teased him
Sophie and Audrey might no longer be dating but they have the strongest bonds that no other werewolves could have with each other. When they realized that they could not be together it really broke Audrey’s heart as he had fallen in love with her but he knew that his brother loved her just as much and was willing to let go of his pride just so his brother could be happy with her, he knew she loved him just as much too. But now he had found something much more and was happy that he let Sophie go at the time he did because there was no way he could have found Stephanie who had brought so much peace and Stability in his life since she came into his life.
Shortly after, he hung up with Sophie, Austin came rushing into his room to let him know that he found something in the woods when he visited the woods the night before.
” Audrey I need you and I need you now” he said as he sped into the room luckily for him the door was open.
” What is it Austin, don’t you know how to Knock, jeez what if I was naked” he scolded his friend.
“Audrey we have to go to the woods if you really care about Stephanie, I went to the woods and I found something really strange”Austin said
” Alright calm down we would go, we don’t have any woods particular in New York so which one” he asked
“That is why I want to show you, you should follow me” Austin said urging his friend to follow them
Audrey then saw the urgency in which Austin came to him and noticed that it was really important so he decided to go check it out with him and he hoped that it was not what he was thinking it was.
When they got to the woods, it was empty and dark as it seemed like no one had been in there in ages so they immediately transformed and began walking into the woods.
” Austin, I hope you are not playing pranks on me,” Audrey said.
” No I’m serious you need to come with me into the woods, there is something I want to show you, it is really important you get to see this” Austin replied.
They both walked deep into the forest and saw the fur of a wolf lying on the floor; it looked as if it had been shredded into pieces. Audrey picked it up and wondered what could have gone wrong. They walked further into the woods and found traces of blood along a bush path which led deeper into the forest, at a point Austin was skeptical about going further, he held Audrey back.
“Guyy, I do not think it is wise for us to go deep into the forest considering the fact that you are not used to the terrain of this forest yet. What if this is just a trap?” Austin said holding him back and preventing him from walking into the forest further.
“No, we need to find out what is going on, what if a wolf is dead” Audrey said.
” But they are not in our pack” Austin cried out,” we should be careful the way we tread” he said further.
” Wait, are you chickening out now? You brought me to the woods and we are going to finish what we started,” Audrey said.
He needed to get to the bottom of the matter, why a wolf died and there were traces of blood on the floor leading up a lonely path. So they walked up the path they saw the traces of blood and hoped that it would lead them to something concrete. By the time they got to the end of the path, they saw a host of other furs lying on the ground, he searched through the furs to see if there was one he could recognise, maybe he would call his father to talk to him about what happened.. Then he saw a fur that was marked with red paint on it and he instantly recognised it, picking it up he screamed ” I knew it” , ” this fur looks familiar” he said further.
” What do you mean by this fur that looks familiar, where do you recognize it from?” Austin asked.
” They come from Ohio, these wolves don’t live in New York, you see these wolves are Intruders that is why they properly got killed by the original inhabitants of this place” Audrey explained
What he feared most was coming back to him. He left Ohio because he did not want any harm to come to Stephanie and now they followed them to New York so they could get her. He needed to do something about it and he needed it to be done pretty fast. He picked up the furs and started leaving the woods with Austin.
” We have to leave Austin, this place is not safe, we do not know if the rest are lying somewhere waiting for us” Audrey saidCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
” What is going on?” Austin asked, not getting a grasp of the whole situation. He needed to know what was going on so he was going to disturb Audrey until he got an answer.
“Stephanie’s life is in danger” he shouted.
” What do you mean?” Austin asked as he was confused as to what or who would want to kill Stephanie.
