Lucas' Pov :-
We returned after a good long ass drive . Brian and Audrey were laughing like crazy on each other jokes .
" These two are getting along" Mia smiled.
" Yeah " I shrugged.
We entered the pack house and David's eyes landed on us , well mainly on Audrey and Brian and his gaze followed them . David was sitting with Dad , Alpha Bob and Luna .
" Come children join us " Luna Ayla called us .
We all knew by now that Audrey is a Blue like me . David and Brian told me this morning
Mia's pov:-
" Audrey have you seen Brian's childhood pics " Luna Ayla said laughing.
" Don't bring them up Mom , those are embarrassing . If I could get a chance I would burn them all " Brian whined.
" Well I have kept them in my locker and you are not getting your hands on them any time soon . Come on Audrey I'll show you. Mia want to join us" Luna smirked .
" I am fine here Luna thanks" I said
Three of them left .
Beta David stood up, " I am tired, gonna get some rest ".
" What happened to him ?" I asked Lucas.
" I don't know , I tried but he isn't telling me . All this mate thing maybe" i said.
" So did he have any luck today , felt a connection with someone or something " Mia asked.
" No , maybe tomorrow . At least 50% girls are still remaining " I shrugged.
................
After dinner we made a bonfire outside near the edge of mountain and sat down . Brian brought cards and we all started playing . David joined too.
" It's so serene and calm here . It's so beautiful , mountains , valleys, nights especially when moon light lits up mountain tops . Trust me I don't want to leave " Audrey said looking at Brian.
David sneered , " says the girl who didn't even want to come , what changed ?"
" I was a different person yesterday so don't bring that up " Audrey rolled her eyes.
After finishing our game we all got up .
Audrey's pov:-
I woke up in the middle of night feeling extremely thirsty . I looked at the glass bottle.
" Crap I forgot to fill it " I murmured and went down to pack's kitchen . I heard someone behind me
" Can't sleep " Brian said.
" What are you doing here in the middle of the night " I asked him.
" I could ask you the same " he said taking a water bottle out of fridge and sat down on the chair .
" So when are you leaving " he asked
" I guess tomorrow is the last day here . We leave the day after tomorrow early in the morning " I said.
" So soon Tch. " he said looking down .
" Can you stay for another week " he asked .
" We can't stay here for any longer Brian. Alpha and beta of our pack both are here , miles away from their territory with rogue threat lurking on our heads . We have to go as soon as possible "
" They all can go , I am just asking for you to stay "
" Why me ? " I asked
" you um you know I am turning 18 next week ,so maybe if you are my mate I could feel it " he said scratching his head .
My jaw dropped ," you think I could be your mate , but even if I am by any chance I turn 18 after 2 weeks . We can't feel it unless we both are 18 or above and I don't think we are mates"
He stood up from his chair ," it's not impossible we could be , so can you stay or not ".
" I can't I have a prom to attend , high school ended so " I said slowly.
" Oh sorry, it's perfectly fine Audrey , so any date for the prom ? " He asked me.
" He is a class fellow named Marcus, he asked me and I said yes " I said shrugging .
We talked for a while and then Brian left .
I turned off the light and stepped out but a voice stopped me in my tracks,
" What were you two doing?"
I turned and saw our beta leaning against a wall with arms crossed.
" Nothing that you should concern yourself with " I scoffed.
He stood up straight and walked towards me and looked me straight in the eyes ," is Brian your mate or something "
Can I punch him ? Well what would happen if I punch him . How bad it could be ? . Will they throw me out,Ah but I love my pack and I want to live there so ...
" It's not your damn problem b-e-t-a " I said crossing my arms.
" If you guys are mates which I highly doubt then it's fine but if he isn't then I am gonna remind you Audrey that you are here to teach some self -defence training not for luring an Alpha kid by your charms " he said clenching his jaw , his eyes turning a darker shade .
What the hell is his problem man . Why is he getting so worked up about it ?
" Then you should remember that you are here to find your pretty little mate not for sticking your God damn nose in my business" I scoffed and ran to my room .
I have dealt with enough bullshit shit today now I need some beauty sleep.
................
The next was pretty much the same training and making new aquaintances . Seriously man I like all these girls not one of them deserves to be that Beta's mate . Today we training some older one between ages of 18_20
We were having a 15 min break till we head back .
" Your beta and Future Alpha both are really hot " a girl said swooning .
" Well our beta is free and nobody is interested and plus he is in search for a mate ,I guess this could be your chance . But Lucas is a kid , he doesn't even have his wolf yet " I winked at the girl .
" Well he looks quiet mature , I didn't know he was that young . But your beta is so handsome how is no one interested " the girl said drooling .
" Audrey isn't interested but I am sure every other girl back at my pack is " Mia smiled at the girl.
" maybe I should try my luck " the girl said standing up and walked towards beta David .
" We have to see this Audrey it's gonna be really interesting " Mia nudged me .
" Nah I am eating lunch and I don't want to leave these delicious treats behind " I said
Mia showed me her puppy eyes.
" Ah let's go " I said getting up and Mia squealed in joy.
The girl I guess her name is Carol marched towards Beta and Lucas.
Lucas' pov:-
David that girl has been staring you like crazy . Look she is coming here Maybe she is you mate.
" Ah , I am fed up with this shit . My mate isn't among these girls . Can't we go back to our pack right now " David said irritated.
" Okay be nice David here she comes " I smirked.
" Ah Hi I a-m Carol it's so nice to have all of y-ou guys here " the girl said extending her hand towards David.
David's pov:-
Tell her to fuck off David, Dakota said irritated she isn't out mate I am sure of it.
I wish I could tell her that .
" It's nice to meet you too " I shook her hand and remained silent .
" So are you guys enjoying your stay here " the girl chimed again . What was her name , I forgot.
" Yeah we are " Lucas answered to cover me up.
The girl kept on rambling I couldn't make out a word she was saying . My gaze was fixed on a certain brunette , Audrey . Audrey pushed an unruly , wayward strand of hair aside from her face and I just couldn't take my eyes off her .
She was waving her hands in the air like she always does when she's excited or explaining something and I couldn't help but smile . Ah now I am smiling like some stupid guy without any reason but damn she is beautiful and that's the least of her charms .
I never intended to fall for her but those damn eyes fucked me . Everytime she's near me I get irritated because of the fact she's not mine and I can't get her .
Maybe she isn't the one for me but deep down I wanted her to be .
She doesn't give a fuck about you David , so better start finding our mate , Dakota smirked.
Well my dear friend , once we are out of this pack , I will have to choose one because our mate hasn't made an appearance so shut up and don't disturb me , I tried to push Dakota away .
I want to be with our destined mate Dakota whined .
You think we have a choice . She isn't coming . She is probably marked and fucking someone else . I don't know why saying those words made me shiver .
Dakota growled , she's out there David .
Well she can stay there then because after a few weeks we are getting a chosen mate whether you like it or not , I stated facts .I have searched , I have waited but now time is up Dakota.
I will never forgive you David , Dakota whined .
Blame our mate friend .
If you are choosing then I want the Miller girl, Audrey , she's exciting, Dakota said.
I knew you like her, if only it were that easy .
Her mate is gonna be one hell of a luck guy , that bastard, jealousy overwhelming me.
My train of thought was broken when Lucas nudged me and I heard the girl ," so what's your type beta, am I your type?" .
She is still here . Her question caught both Mia's and Audrey attention and they were all ears now.
" No you aren't " I said stoically.
" That's a shame , but tell me your type maybe I can find you one . I am friends with plenty " the girl persisted .
" I am not interested miss , thank you " I said irritated .
" So how can I get you interested " she smirked .
So she is not gonna back off that easily . My eyes landed on Audrey and I could see her fidgeting to hear my answer and I inwardly grinned.
" Okay let's see, you can only get me interested in two ways " I smirked looking at the girl in front of me.
I could see some surprised faces in response to my changed demeanor.
" And what would they be " the girl asked seductively.
" First , if you are my mate , which you aren't "
The girl's face fell down .
" And second if you are that girl , she is my type . These are the only two ways you can get me interested " I said pointing towards Audrey .
" I see you already like someone " the girl said sadly and left.
I looked at Audrey , her mouth was wide open and the sandwich she was munching on dropped to the floor . Her eyes locked with mine filled with rage and I smiled and left.
Audrey's pov:-
"What the fucking hell was that ?. Ask that crazy beta to see a fucking psychiatrist . That man has messed with me for far too long . Who does he think he his ? . Let me go " I was yelling where as Mia and Lucas were holding me.
" Calm down please Audrey , he probably said that so he can get rid of that girl Carol " Lucas tried to calm me down .
" Huh ,you know Lucas I have beared it all considering he is my senior and a respectful person but that was too much . I am seriously done . One more incident like that and I will raise hell and I 'll make sure he burns in it. He is just trying to piss me off. " I scoffed and left .
Training was over soon and after dinner I went to sleep early.
................
Next morning after breakfast , we packed our stuff and we're ready to leave .
Luna Ayla requested that she wanted to take picture with all of us before we leave .
" Okay everybody , camera is ready . Ou oi wait for me" Brian said running towards us .
" And here it's a really good one look Audrey " Brian showed me .
" Yeah it is " I replied
" Don't forget to send us the picture " Lucas said
" Okay kiddos say your goodbyes and then off we go " Alpha Rob said.
After saying goodbye to Luna Ayla and Alpha Bob , I looked for Brian and found him brooding in a corner.
" Come on Brian , don't look so sad , now just say goodbye to all of us happily so I can leave in peace" I said
He looked at me and then suddenly he hugged me out of nowhere. His hug was too tight I was squirming to get out of his grip and take a breath " B-rian , h-ey you are ch-oking m-e"
He left me suddenly and then smiled sheepishly moving his hand through his hair ," I am sorry , are you fine?".
" Yup" I said catching my breath
"Promise me , you will come back to the Blue Mountain pack whenever you get a chance and you won't let your parents stop you" he said slowly.
" Don't worry , I will come back I promise and it's not an ending it's the beginning of a new friendship isn't it? , so smile and say goodbye" I said giving him my best smile to cheer him up.
He smiled and then came closer ," if we both don't find our mates on our 18 birthday, then don't forget to pay me a visit , maybe we'll end up together" he winked at me.
I put some distance between us, " well , maybe but I don't think we'll be mates , I just get this gut feeling that I'll be a horrible Luna so friends then?" I said putting my hand forward .
He took it instantly," Yes , but I don't think you'll be a horrible Luna , you'll be a good one trust me ."
" Source is ' trust me dude' " I said chuckling and Brian started laughing .
" I wish I could say I am sorry to interrupt this awfully happy 'friendship' moment but I am not , we are running late and we are on a tight schedule, but if you want rogues to greet you on our way back home then you can continue you little chit chat Audrey"
Ah I could recognize this voice anywhere , my nemesis . I turned and beta David was eyeing both me and Brian and then his stone cold gaze stopped on me .He motioned me to move but I didn't move an inch .
" Alpha Brian we are running late , we want to reach our pack in the daylight, I hope you understand " beta continued again .
Brian was as usual cool and just nodded," have a safe trip Audrey and damn I have to say my goodbyes to Lucas to do excuse me" Brian left .
I still didn't move a muscle and it pissed beta off.
" Audrey , if you don't come with me right now ,we will leave you here because it seems you are really enjoying the 'company' " beta David said gritting his teeth .
" And what will you say to Alpha and to my parents and Mia for leaving me here huh" I crossed my arms .
"I have plenty of stories " he said smirking .
I gulped hard but still didn't move although I wanted to . He won't leave me here can he ? and Alpha, Mia Lucas what will he tell them?.
Beta David eyed me and when I didn't move he shrugged ," your choice then Audrey , stay here and party" . Beta David turned and started walking .
" Wait wait I am coming " I said hurriedly.
" Help yourself finding your way back , because I am not taking you with us " he said without turning .
" As if you can leave me here,you are just bluffing " I said loudly .
He stopped and I smiled inwardly.
" I can I will beat you slightly to make you unconscious and we are standing just a little bit farther from the border so I will throw you outside the border and you won't wake up until tomorrow " he said with a straight face.
Is he serious? Well he looks dead serious.
"A-nd wh-- what will you tell everyone?" I said stuttering.
" I will say you ran off with a rogue or you left the pack you got your chance when you were alone " he said shrugging.
" And they will believe you" I chuckled nervously.
" They will , considering how rash and impulsive you are and considering my good reputation who won't believe me " he said grinning.
" You will leave me outside the borders in forest . It is littered with rogues" I said furrowing.
" You can kill one or two rogues you won't die , relax " he said as if we were talking about dinner.
"Well if I won't die or something then as soon as I wake up I will come back to the Blue Mountain pack and tell everyone what you did and then you'll suffer" I scoffed.
" Still you won't be able to attend your precious prom tomorrow" he sighed sarcastically.
Shit! My prom , my eyes widened .
" Let's go aren't we getting late " I said nervously I tried to mind-link Mia, Lucas but I guess they were out of reach .
" Only I am getting late , you are going to take a nap Audrey " he said grinning.
He is serious shit !.
Audrey we can't beat him, Artemis said worriedly.
We haven't tried yet Artemis and I am not going down with out a fight .
Suddenly we heard a twig snapping and we both glared in that direction , it was Brian.
He looked at both of us in a confused manner.
" Wo wo easy easy are you guys fighting again ? I knew it was bad idea to leave you two alone so I came back. Is everything fine? Why are you in fighting stance Audrey ?" He said looking between us.
" Ah i-t's noth-ing I just wanted to stay a bit longer and beta was constantly telling me we were running late (which we aren't I know ) and just that and..." I was trying to cover it up .
"If you want to stay you can " Brain said happily.
" And who will drop her back " Beta David said grimly .
" Well I can get anyone to drop her I am future Alpha dude but considering the danger maybe I will drop her myself," Brain said.
I grinned at beta David and his smirk was gone as tables had turned now. Although I didn't want to stay but I still played along to piss our beta.
"Maybe I will stay Brian but...." I said slowly
" No you will not you have a prom to attend don't you?" Beta eyed me "your help is much appreciated Alpha Brian but I guess you have more important jobs to do ,we don't want to trouble you more . Let's go Audrey " beta David grabbed my hand and took off.
