Lucas' Pov :-
It's been almost a week since Mia's birthday and I have been training with Mia and Audrey after I finish with David. Things have been a lot good lately and I like the way they are.
I entered the training fields and began searching for David but before I could walk further Dad mindlinked me " Lucas , David come into my office right now ". We both walked towards the pack house and reached my dad's office .
I knocked at the door and then we both went inside .
" Sit down boys. I told you guys we were gonna visit Blue Mountain pack " dad said without averting his gaze from a file.
" Yes Alpha " David answered
" Well arrangements have been made . I already talked to Alpha Bob (blue mountain alpha) and told him that there is an additional purpose for our visit in addition to discuss our pack matters , it's to search for David's mate. But I find it disrespectful to gather all the girls just to be checked out if they are David's mate or not " my dad said putting the file down .
" I agree Alpha you're absolutely right" David said
" Bob said there is no problem but I still think it's impolite and I don't want the girls to get offended but we have to save time and we can't go from house to house without telling anyone the reason . So , I made a suggestion , blue Mountain pack has a hand full of female warriors right now and they have recently implemented for teens to learn self-defence and they are short on the crew and trainers.
I said I would bring some trainees from my pack to demonstrate some moves and then Alpha Bob can make an announcement for every girl who has her wolf to make an appearance to learn how a Riverdale fights. This way it's not impolite they learn some moves and if David find his mate it's a win win ".
" Yeah that's a good idea " I said
" So both of you get ready we are leaving in two hours and grab one or 2 good female warriors/trainees of your choice . I have already told Kate about the situation so there want be any problem . Just give me the names of the girls and I will inform their parents that we are going to Blue Mountain pack for a few days " dad said hurriedly searching through his pile of papers.
" Do you want us to choose ",David said confused
" Is there anyone else in the room David ?" My dad said
I stifled my laugh.
" Okay I got it Alpha I will give you the names " David said getting up and gestured me to get up to .
As we both reached the fields again I asked him ," now what? Who are we gonna choose , maybe we could ask miss Kate to get us one or two girls of her own choice" . I waited for David's answer and when it didn't come I looked at him and saw him staring towards the cafeteria .
" You know what Lucas there is no need to ask Miss Kate now , I already decided who we are taking with us" he said with a grin plastered on his face .
I glance in the direction he was looking at and saw Mia , Audrey and James walking out of cafeteria .
"Don't tell me you are talking about Audrey and Mia " I said
" Well these are the only two female warriors here I know a bit about. It will be fun ." David said taking big steps towards them .
We reached them their backs were facing us while James saw us .
" James go train with Marcus , the lunch break is over " David said to James and James nodded . Just when he was about to take off Audrey grabbed his hand,
"I am sorry beta but there are whole 5 minutes left until lunch break ends . He will leave once it's over "
James face turned white and he said slowly, " it's fine Audrey , Mia I will take my leave ".
" But we still have tim....." Audrey was cut off by David ,
" when I say lunch break is over it's over, argue more and I will think you want to join me Lucas on the morning runs again ."
"Aha I guess we should take our leave now too because lunch break is over although there are still whole 4 minutes left " Audrey said nudging Mia . James already went off.
" Who asked you guys to leave. I want to talk to you both about something " David said with a grim expression.
Audrey's pov:-
We both stopped right in our tracks upon hearing his words .
What the hell did I do wrong this time ?I replayed all past events in my mind but there was nothing I could think of.
" What is it beta David , we are listening " I heard Mia's voice.
" You both pack your bags we are leaving for blue mountain pack in 1 hour from now " beta David said casually.
" Why ?" Mia asked
" Their pack females need to learn self-defence that's all I know so we offered help" David shrugged.
" For how many days ?" I asked.
" 2_3 days that's all Audrey" Lucas said.
I had heard blue mountain pack was quite beautiful and I really wanted to visit it but not like this . At least we get to see the scenery I thought to myself .
" Can we say no " I inquired
" It's an order and if mine isn't enough maybe you can say no to Alpha " David smirked.
" I guess I will go pack my bags then , see you later " I said laughing nervously .
" You both better be at the parking lot in exact one hour from now or there will be consequences '' beta David said again and left.
"Omg , why does this guy always bring bad news , or there will be consequences " I said imitating him
" Trust me I would not be taking a step out of this pack if this damn trip was any longer than 3 days . I have my prom exactly 4 days from now . My high school is ending . " I said angrily .
"Calm down Audrey we have to go you know that and plus Blue Mountain is really beautiful . Maybe we'll enjoy a lot" Mia said to brighten.
" Yeah I hope so too" I said.
We both left to pack our luggage . When I was finished I was 5 minutes late . Why me? Why me? . I ran outside towards parking lot.
When I got there , the parking lot was empty . No, no , no I was late . They are gonna kill me when they come back . Alpha , beta they will both definitely kill me . I took my phone out with shaky hands to call Mia . I had 15 miss calls from Mia, Shit!! .
" Audrey where are you . I called you like 15 times? "
" I am here at the parking lot , did you guys left?" I asked worried.
" Oh my poor girl , don't get worried we didn't leave .Infact there are still about 45 minutes left" Mia said humming .
Wtf , then it hit me that bastard beta lied to us.
" But how do you know Mia.?" I asked
" Alpha Rob called my father to tell him that I am leaving with the guys for the Blue Mountain pack in less than 2 hours . I wanted to confirm so I called Lucas and he confirmed . I called you but you didn't pick up " Mia said
I gritted my teeth ," you know how scared I was , I am gonna kill that beta ".
" You can't do that Audrey even if you want to " Mia said chuckling.
" A girl can have her dreams can't she. " I sighed.
" Okay bye Mia , because I still have some time I am gonna go and say good bye to mom and dad" I turned around and hit a Goddamn wall . Where did the wall come from?.
Ouch ! I held my forehead but I forgot about my pain when I saw a hand extended towards me . So it wasn't a wall I hit someone's chest , I looked up and saw beta David . He was looking down at me with a serious look on his face.
I gulped hard . He was listening wasn't he ? I am sure he was listening Audrey , but don't worry I won't let him get you this time . Thanks Artemis but I can handle don't worry .
He gestured towards his hand for me to take it but I didn't and got up on my on . He was just staring ate quiet intently and I didn't like it.
There was a long dreading silence and I just wanted to vanish to get rid of his burning gaze. After a while when I realized he wasn't gonna say anything I tried to walk past him but he suddenly came in front of me and blocked my way .
" Can you please let me go. ?" I asked slowly . I didn't want to get in some kind of argument with him right now . But if he tries to test my patience then I am gonna show him that I am not a very patient woman.
He stated at me and then moved to the other side . I was about to walk off when his voice stopped me ,
" Audrey " there was a long pause but I didn't turn, my back was towards him and I could hear him walking towards me
He continued again," I heard you , you were talking to Mia I guess".
Can he please stop listening to my conversations ahhh but I don't give a fuck . Last time I was at fault but this time he told us arrive whole an hour early and made me angry and I was talking to my bestie dude . This kind of conversation is normal . I am not saying sorry for anything this time , do whatever you want dude.
I turned to face him ," we will decide for how many days I am gonna join you on morning runs when we come back from blue mountain pack " and then I turned back without hearing his answer but he grabbed me wrist not forcefully but enough to stop me from taking another step ,
" would you kill me if you got a chance ?Do you really hate me that much ? " His gaze burning me.
I wanted to say "yes" but I kept my mouth shut . I don't know how much time passed but it felt like an eternity . I tried to remove my hand from his hold but his grip got tighter,
" Answer me Audrey".
" Audrey you are here already I thought Mia told you I talked to her....and David you are here too..." Lucas was rambling and then he stopped when his eyes landed on Beta's hand on my wrist . Beta was caught off guard because of Lucas and I instantly took my hand out of his grip and put some distance between us
" I- yeah Mia told me and I am going back to say goodbye to my family, goodbye , seeya" I ran off leaving my luggage behind before this got more confusing.
I mentally thanked Lucas for making an appearance .
Lucas' pov :-
"Why did you tell them to be hear in exactly one hour, dad said two didn't he " I asked David.
" Trust me Audrey won't be there on time and I don't want us getting late " David shrugged.
" I am gonna tell Alpha that Audrey and Mia are going with us so that he can inform their parents " David said.
" Okay " I went back to my room to pack my stuff. I had nearly finished when I received a call from Mia and I told her that there is no need to rush .
After that I went to grab David but as soon as I stepped out of the parking lot I saw both David and Audrey . David was grabbing Audrey's hand but Audrey took her hand out his grip as soon as she saw me and left.
WTH is happening here.
