Trapped with the Alpha

As both friends saw each other they bumped into each other, giving one another a very big hug to the amusement of those who stayed around them and onlookers too.

After the exchange of pleasantries, Sophie made sure she introduced Stephanie to Stella.

“Stella met Stephanie, and Stephanie met Stella 7” she said , they both shook hands and hugged each other.

“Stella is my long time friend. We go wayyyyyy back from high school, she even lives in Cleveland here before she left for Boston” Sophie said.

“Wow, Boston, I live there too but I’m currently in New York, I go to New York University” Stephanie said.

“Then what are you doing in Cleveland?” Stella asked .

“Sightseeing,” she replied. ” I love traveling,” she continued.

Sophie shook her head at Stephanie she knew She didn’t want to reveal that she is with Audrey so she decided to to pry into her business.

“Let’s come in,” Stella said after she noticed they had been standing outside for too long.

They all went inside the party venue, Sophie collected some drinks for them so they could loosen up a bit which quite worked because it wasn’t long after they had taken the drink that they had loosened up as Stephanie began dancing and shaking her body to the tune of the music.

“Stephanieeee” Sophie called out from across but she couldn’t be heard and music was blasting through the loudspeakers into their ears. She then noticed that Stephanie was not even hearing her call so she walked up to her and gave her a tap on the shoulder, ” Stephanie, I have been calling you, you didn’t hear me” She said.

“Whattt, you are spoiling the fun” Stephanie said.

“Someone looking at you, will think that you actually wanted to come for this party, to think that I forced you to come and you are already drunker than I am ” Sophie said.

“Don’t be a party pooper, come let’s dance” Stephanie said urging Sophie to come dance with her.

“No, I’m not dancing, I want you to meet somebody, he is a family friend to the Brown’s, and if you want your question answered faster he has the solution to them” Sophie said.

” I don’t want to meet anybody Soph, I just want to dance and have fun, it’s been a long time since I came to a party and had plenty of fun” She said.

“Well,” Sophie said, sounding defeated.

All of Sophie’s efforts to pull Stephanie out of the crown proved abortive, what was she going to do? , Who was going to drive them home. So she decided to walk up to Nathan, the guy she tended to Stephanie to meet.

Nathan was a Sophomore student at Cleveland State University and a very good friend to Derrick and Audrey, they all grew up together until sixth grade when Nathan left for Boston with his mum, his mum hot a very beautiful Job at Boston, the Job came with a house for the family, a health insurance policy for the family anda mouth watering salary for the mother, it was an opportunity she could not decline as she knew it would help their family as they were not earning much in Cleveland. Despite the fact that he left Cleveland he never failed to keep in touch with his friends back home, they constantly called each other and sent each other mail and messages. Sophie was the main person who kept in touch.

Nathan was the only one amongst their friends who knew their deep-seated secrets that they were all werewolves and Sophie was mated to Derrick, he kept it nevertheless because he knew that there was no point in spilling the beans, this was until Derrick’s mother died.

None of what Audrey said that day made sense to her as Boston was such a big place so there was no way they knew each other but she was not going to take it further. She knew Audrey knew something but was not telling her and she was not going to force him to tell her.

“I don’t feel like walking again, let us go back home” she said.

She was not going to take a walk with someone who was behaving like a lunatic, she would rather go home and meet annoying Derrick than face what she was facing, now she got her answers this was the reason why she didn’t get mated to Audrey or they could not get mated, he had the tendency to space out when they were talking, he did that a lot even if he could open up to her at that moment he would not, he would rather wait for a long time.

They ended their walk and turned back in the direction of their home, Audrey was still trying to connect the dots bit he did not want to believe that Stephanie was the Victim of Nathan’s rape.

They went back home and he found Stephanie still sleeping, so he decided to let her rest and went to meet his father to discuss his plans for the day before waking her up.

“Dad, good morning” he knocked and entered his father’s room

“My son, how are you, how is Stephanie? I noticed the drama she and Sophie did this morning,” he teased.

“Father, don’t start your teasing now, I came to tell you something about Stephanie and I” he said.

“What is it?” his father said.

“Error” he started clearing his throat, ,”I want Stephanie and I to go back to school, so I need us to finalize everything we came for, like meeting with our people and the rest” he said.

“Sweetie, we don’t need to do that anymore, you told me your mother showed up in the dream she had right, that is a very good sign son, your mum approves of her whenever your mum shows up it means that she wanted this Union between you and Steph to happen” he explained.

“Really dad” he asked in excitement and began jumping up and down the room

His father laughed in amusement and became really happy for his son, he was happy that his son had become so happy, he knew how distraught he was when he realized that he could not get mated to Sophie, what hurt him the more was Sophie got mated to his twin brother, seeing Sophie everyday with Derrick made it even more painful.

“So, dad you mean that I can officially ask her out , like asking her to be my girlfriend and all?” he asked. This made Roland shocked as he did not know that they were not together yet.

“Wait you mean, you have not asked her out yet?” he asked in surprise, mouth aghast.

” No, dad” he replied

“You want a young girl to slip by you again, why did you not ask her out?” his father said.

“Dad, you know it will be more hurtful, if I had asked her to be my girlfriend and she would end up not being my mate, in as much as it would be painful for me she would feel the pain more, and I definitely don’t ever Intend on hurting her ” he said.

“Okkkkk, what’s the difference between a relationship and what you guys are doing?” his father mocked.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Audrey knew where his dad was driving at so he was not going to give him the chance to keep asking questions, so he decided to send it before his father started telling him the story of how they were “sharpshooters” in their family, who never joked with their women.

“Dad, will you follow us into the woods or not?” he asked trying to evade his question.

” I see what you did there son, Yes I will when are you going” he asked, not wanting to push further before his son who i just warming up to him pushes him away again

” Now” , Audrey said.

“But is it not too dangerous?” he asked.

“No dad, we are werewolves remember” Audrey replied.

“Yes I know we are but Stephanie is not one yet, you confirmed it yourself son” Roland said trying to change his mind.

” See Dad, I promise we won’t stay long” he assured his dad

“Alright, let me quickly get dressed,” his father said .
