Trapped with the Alpha

She marched to Audrey’s room but realized he was not back from the tete-a-tete with his father, she wondered what could keep him so long in his father’s room, so she allowed herself into the room and sat down on his bed hoping he would be back before Sophie called her else she would just have to tell him before she went out.

Back in Roland’s room, Audrey stepped into his father’s room with the intention of talking to him and apologizing for the way he acted earlier. His father was listening to an album of old classical music and smoking his largest stick of cigarettes..

“Father, I told you to stop smoking this thing, cigarettes are not good for your health” he said.

” When did my son start worrying about my health” Roland mocked

“Father, don’t be so sarcastic, you know I care about your health a lot and I always look after you” Audrey said.

“Well” he said and stood up to use the toilet

” I’m sorry Dad, I’m sorry for telling you earlier, I just couldn’t imagine you would be blamed for what happened when you and I know it wasn’t my intention to cause havoc” he said.

” I understand son, I think my approach was wrong I was just warning you, so you should have been more careful” Roland said

“You know how terrible the Ravens are, what if Derrick hadn’t taken that Initiative to create an escape route, or what if Sophie had not come to your rescue, what would have become of me” he lamented and admonished his sons to always take caution next time and not allow love blind his eyes.

” Okay , Father, what are we going to do about it now they know about Stephanie?” Audrey asked.

” Well, I have a meeting with my partners tomorrow, after which I will go to see them,” he replied to his son.

“Alright, father” Audrey said and smiled

Father and son hugged each other at that moment and it dawned on Audrey that he never really had an emotional moment with his father all his life, he was always closed off and distant from them so he decided to make the most of that moment, hug him like it was going to be his last time on earth.

They both discussed Audrey’s plans for Stephanie. He decided to tell his father about everything that happened in New York, the dream Stephanie had and the fight they had.

“Did you say she saw your mother” Roland asked

“Yes father” Audrey replied

This made his heart warm at the mention of his wife’s name, he was happy to know that his wife still had an influence in his family even if she was long gone, the presence of their mother in Stephanie’s dream meant that she liked her and was willing to accept her as their son’s mate, he felt elated and happy that she still found a way of communicating with them.

After a while they heard a gentle knock on the door, it was Derrick who had come to apologize to his father for walking out on him too, he felt bad for what he did and decided to tender a heartfelt apology.

“Bro, thanks for the other day, you were really smart with your moves” Audrey told Derrick as he shook his hand in a playful manner.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

” It’s nothing bro” Derrick replied and responded to the playful handshake.

Stephanie waited and waited for Audrey to come out of his father’s room but he never came out till she and Sophie went to the store together, they were to get some clothes, shoes and bags.

“Sophie please don’t make me buy all these, I can’t pay for them” she lamented

“Who said you should pay for all of them” Sophie said and hissed

” You are not the one paying for anything, I am, I forced you to this party, I also forced you to come get clothes so it’s only natural I pay for the clothes with my money” Sophie said.

After a while of searching and moving round the store, he saw a beautiful gown she liked and would want to have for herself. We aren’t over to the shelf to take the gown, she admired how beautiful and nice it was, it even had the design of a moon on it.

” I’m getting this dress” she exclaims in excitement.

” Alright alright,” Sophie said as she collected it and added it to the pile of already stacked clothes.

The design of the moon made Stephanie remember that Audrey did not answer her questions the last time she asked him what a full moon was sks she decided to take her chances by also asking Sophie.

“Sophie, can I ask a question” she said

Sophie who was rummaging through her bag to see if she carried along her debit card just nodded her head in affirmation.

“What’s a full moon?” she asked. This made Sophie stop what she was doing and looked up; she was surprised that Stephanie could ask such a question in a public place.

” Steph, this isn’t the right place for this question, do you know where we are right now, we are in the middle of a store, do you want everybody knowing our business” she replied in hushed tones

“Besides, the question is for your boyfriend and not me” she continued further.
