Chapter 83
“I knew it, who is the unlucky guy this time?” Stephanie said and laughed. Mirabel was known for not being able to stick to one guy at a time, it was like she enjoyed flirting with everybody she saw or anyone that caught her fancy.
” You really can’t stick to one man, I thought you had a date sometime last week, which man again?” Stephanie asked her best friend dragging her to the bed.
” See, this time I am for real I think I like this one” Mirabel said blushing as her cheeks had almost gone red from too much blushing, Stephanie had never seen her best friend do in love and bubbly like that, so she needed to know the man behind her smile.
” Who is it?” she asked inquisitively, poking her to demand an immediate answer from her.
,” Jeez chill would you relax, what you are doing is hurting me, it’s Austin” Mirabel blurted out
This did not come as a surprise to Stephanie because of the way they were behaving at the restaurant the day they all went , it was like she was hypnotized by the sight of the guy not like they had not seen before.
” Well I am not surprised but a werewolf really?” Stephanie asked and rolled her eyes.
” At least you are dating one” Mirabel said as she shrugged her shoulders, she then remembered that she had not fixed her nails so she quickly brought out the box of pressing she had brought from underneath the bed and started fixing it.
” You know girl, I have looked out for you, and your happiness is my happiness, if Austin is who you are sure you want and he is the reason behind your constant smile, who am I to say no?” Stephanie said and hugged her best friend.
” Really” Mirabel said she had thought that Stephanie would not be so happy about it considering the fact that he is friends with Audrey, ” I thought you would not like the idea of Austin and I going out that is why I did not want to tell you at first” Mirabel said and covered her face.
” So you really think that I am not going to accept it , why you are my best friend so I would always always support whatever decision you make, just know that if you ever want to cry my shoulders are there for you to lean on because this ain’t gonna be an easy ride I have been there and you saw how I balled my eyes out” Stephanie said, patting Mirabel’s back so she could brace up for the challenges ahead
After Mirabel had finished fixing her press on nails, she stood up as if she was ready to leave and hugged her Best friend, bidding her good-bye.
” Wish me luck” Mirabel said as she held her hands ” of course babe, you will gist me all about it when next we see if even over the phone, for now let me go and write a sweet message for Austin so he would not break my head” Stephanie said and kissed Mirabel’s hands as she left the room.
“Audrey, you are back” Bradley said as he greeted his roommate
“Yes, what’s up?” he asked.
” Some group of men came to look for you, I don’t even know whether to call them men or boys but I know they came to look for you” Bradley said.
Audrey’s eyes lit up at the sound of it. ” What were they wearing? Can you describe them for me?” he asked his roommate.
Bradley then gave a perfect description of the Ravens to Audrey, he said that he noticed one of them wielding a stick like he had come to attack him but he was unfortunately around.
” Bradley, do you have anywhere to sleep tonight?” he asked Bradley.
” Why” Bradley asked.
” I want my brother to come over, you see those guys there is every tendency for them to come back, and I would prefer it if they don’t meet you in the room, if they do you might get caught in the crossfire which I don’t want to happen” Audrey said urging his roommate to find a suitable place to go and sleep
” Alright, Alright, I don’t have anywhere per say but your brother stays in a hotel right, so we can switch places for the night, does that make sense?” Bradley asked.
” No, they know where my brother stays, you want to stay in a hotel , fine I will pay for it, this is my debit card make sure you go to a place that you would not be easily followed” Audrey said and immediately picked up his phone to call his brother.
,, In a few minutes , Derrick had arrived at Audrey’s place looking like someone was chasing him
” Jeez just how much did you run” Bradley teased and tapped him on yeh shoulder as he stepped out of the room
Audrey’s worst fears were coming to pass, they were already seeking him in his room, where next they would seek him most likely using Stephanie or any of her friends to reel him in. He knew he needed to do something and he needed to do it as soon as possible, he didn’t want to involve his father, because it would mean him being worried again. He put a call through to Austin but he was not picking his call so he prayed and hoped that Austin was doing just fine.
,” What do those people want? I actually want to get something out of all this madness,” Derrick asked in annoyance.
” I thought the rule was our activities stay in the forest, why did they come all the way from Ohio just to seek you out in school, if they were so sure of their person being the Alpha crown prince , why are they bugging your life we need to call Dad” Derrick continued further.
” No, no, do not call Dad, it will only get him worried considering that we are not even close to him right now, I will sort it out myself” Audrey pleaded with his brother.
They both stayed back in the room brainstorming on what they would do and what they would not do, when they heard a knock on the door in the middle of the night. Audrey stood up to open the door only to find Stephanie standing at the door with a card in hand and a piece of pizza, he immediately dragged her inside.
” What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night?” he scolded her.
“Middle of the night in New York, I don’t think you know what you are saying” she said and laughed, going to make herself comfortable.
“Are you nuts, you could have been killed, the Ravens came looking for me this evening that is why I’m so worried that you would risk your life coming out by this time just to see me” he said.
He was worried considering the fact that it was night no werewolf would be in their human form except for those who were inside their houses, night was the best time they did whatever they wanted to do
” Jeez calm down, I can handle myself besides no one was outside” she said as she just acknowledged the fact that Derrick was there, she had not seen him when she earlier entered the room.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
