Trapped with the Alpha

“Hey son, when do you plan on going back to school?” Roland asked Audrey during dinner.

” I’m thinking of going back tomorrow or next,” Audrey replied.

Stephanie looked at him and tried giving signals with her eyes, she knew instantly that Audrey was delaying their return back to school because he knew he would miss his father, their decision to come back was a good one after all, she was happy that she was part of something that made their life complete and she had a chance to meet his family and got to know the people she had heard so much about.

She felt sad she was leaving, she did not know why she had grown so close with people who she just met and got to know.

“Errrm , dad if it is any consolation you can come pay us a visit in New York we both stay on campus so it would be easy locating us” she said to Sir Roland.

“You stay on campus?” Derrick asked whity surprise on his face. ” But that is not what you told Dad and I, we fucking have money why will. you choose to stay on campus” Derrick continued

Audrey knew that was not why he told his family that he would do so because he did not want to mix with humans but he changed his mind at the last minute at the airport and the minute he saw Stephanie at the bar.

” I know Derrick, it was a last minute decision I made to stay on campus, it’s way cheaper, besides this is just my freshman year I have plenty of time to stay off campus so there is really no need to hurry” he told his brother

“But Audrey staying on campus is risky that is why we opted for you to get an Apartment probably in Manhattan or something , what if your secret had come out do you know how those people would treat you” Derrick said his voice raising up

Roland knew he had to step in else it would just turn into another argument between his sons. They have gotten along all this while and he would not want them to enter another argument just at the verge of one of them leaving, it would mean they won’t talk to each other again.

“Okay, okay sons, it’s enough we are having dinner, Derrick it is Audrey’s decision to make, he chose to stay on campus and it is fine with me, what you should be thinking of is how to join him in NYU or probably another University of your choice” his father said.

” Alright, dad, I was just worried and shocked that he would make such a reckless decision” Derrick said.

” Reckless, you said well I guess for once I got to decide what I want for myself not that it was handed over to me or made for me by you or Dad” Audrey blurted out.

Everywhere became instantly silent, the tension and bad blood between both brothers had not completely gone. That is why when they had arguments it tended to affect everything and everyone around them.

” You know what baby let us go upstairs, I think you need to relax or take some fresh air” Stephanie said.

Audrey stood up angrily kicking the table as he left the dining table in annoyance.

“I have lost my appetite, anyways” he said and stomped off.

Suddenly Roland began gasping for breath, his hands in his chest as he was calling for Audrey to come back to the dining table but Audrey did not turn back to see what was happening. Nobody took notice of what was happening to Sir Roland as they were both caught up in their problems. It was only Nanny Maria who had seen it from where she was seated

” Are you guys that heartless, did you not see how your dad is fighting for his life here” she shouted at Derrick who was seated there

” Dad, dad , what is wrong?” Derrick said frantically trying to know what happened to his father.

They immediately carried him into the room so they could call the pack doctor to know what happened to their father.

” Dad, don’t worry you will be fine” Sophie said while holding Sir Roland’s hands. ” Just hold on, let me see if I can get Stephanie and Audrey outside hopefully they did not go far” she said and dashed out of the room immediately to get them

She ran outside into the fields and tried looking for them but they were not where to be found, she picked up her phone and tried calling them but no one picked her calls, she became instantly worried Audrey hardly ever got angry to the extent that he would not talk to her again at least she was the only one he confided in about his fears, but this time he had Stephanie anyway.

Just then Derrick came out of the house and found her pacing up and down frantically, “babe calm down, have you seen them?” He asked.

“No babe, I have not seen them, Audrey ha snever hidden from me like this before, what if he hurts himself, or worse what if he hurts Stephanie, he is angry did you see the way he stormed out of the house” she said not finding time for herself to breathe, she was literally freaking out. Everything was going well. ” Why do we have to have one drama or the other? ” she said.

“I’m sorry Soph, I caused this whole mess, I should have shut myself up when dad told me not to argue it, Audrey is a big boy and can handle himself, I was just worried and looking out for him” he said looking down in remorse.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Awwwn, babe this is not your fault, it is nobody’s fault you were just doing what any caring twin brother would do” she said.

” You know, you guys would never be cool until you guys talk about what caused the fight in the first place,” she said.

Everybody at the table that day including Stephanie knew that she was the reason they actually had issues, if she was not mated to any of them maybe their conflict would be reduced, the fact that he had to live with seeing her with his brother everyday was enough to make him mad, if it were her too she would be offended and now he has still not gotten over it despite the fact that he had Stephanie because those things do not easily go away.

” I know I know, but I do not know why he is so mad at me , it is not my fault you got mated with me, he has Stephanie now, why does it still affect him so much ” Derrick said

” Don’t talk until you see me with another man, I know he loves Stephanie to death but he is just manifesting his insecurities, you seemed to have been the favorite child ever since you were kids, he gave in to you whenever you father said he should, he even had to give me up at some point because your father said he should, his scared of losing Stephanie the same way and the at you questioned him made him feel like he could not make decisions for himself” she said.

” Oooh I never knew that is how he was feeling, but where could they have gone I need to talk to him before he leaves” Derrick said

” I think I have an idea, leave it to me, just call the pack doctor to come check up on dad and let me know if anything comes up,” she said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

” Jeez I could not love you more, thank you very much babe” he said.
