Before he could enter the kitchen, Sandra and Alex beat him to it from the other entrance of the kitchen.
They approached Audrey with cautious steps, Alpha Lake thought she would have detected their presence, then he remembered she didn't have a wolf, she didn't have a super hearing. She was busy peeling potatoes for Ms. Bridget, oblivious to the people coming behind her.
"Audrey?" Sandra called hopefully.
Audrey knew the time her friends entered the kitchen, this was her first time seeing them after they parted ways in the grapevine a year ago. She wanted to drop everything she was doing and run to them for a long warm hug, but she also knew that the Alpha was at the door, watching her with his hawk-like eyes.
She gently lifted her head up to her friends, it killed her to see their hopeful faces, she knew it would turn sad as soon she opened her mouth.
