Chapter 5
Audrey walked back to look for Bradley and he was grinning from ear to ear like a kid who just won a Piece of Candy. He told Bradley all about it and they were both happy.
That night at the dorms, it took Audrey a long time to fall asleep as he kept smiling and feeling hopeful again. He hasn’t felt this alive ever since he lost Sophie to his twin brother. In his mind Stephanie would be a perfect mate for him so he would want to take things slowly with her even if he knew he already liked her besides she doesn’t know he was a werewolf yet. So he wouldn’t want to jeopardize his plans with her just yet. After a long myriad of thoughts, Audrey finally got some sleep.
In the morning, he was woken up by his roommates alarm, he stood up from his bed and went into the bathroom to have his bath singing to an Edsheeran’s song “Castle on a hill” playing in the background. However his bath was heavily and rudely interrupted by a call from his Twin brother who was angry about the fact that he went to a city as far as New York and couldn’t even call them to let them know he had gotten there safely, he apologized to Derrick and told him all about his adventures since he arrived New York.
Derrick sounded so excited for his brother, after the whole exchange of pleasantries between brothers. Their father requested to speak with Audrey and reminded him of his initial plan of leaving his family and to tell him to never forget who they really are and mix up with Humans. He assured his father that everything is fine and the plan is still a go.
Taking a final look at the clothes he was to wear and the map in his possession, he set out for campus heading towards the building he was to have his lectures on, on getting to the lecture theater he also met tons of freshmen who were as clueless as he was. So he decided to ditch class that morning and called Stephanie. He invited her to go have breakfast with him at a popular restaurant. She agreed since she had no class that morning.
On getting to the restaurant they ordered a cup of coffee and some pancakes. He then asked her ” So I want to actually know who you are, you seem like this mysterious lady who just disappeared anytime someone tries to walk up to her ” she laughed and mentioned that she didn’t know how to socialize so she prefers being on her own.
As he talked and talked , he couldn’t help but be mesmerized by her beauty, her lips, the way she talks, the way she moves her hand, her tiny hazel eyes, the way the breeze blows on her hair and it covers her face, the way the flowery gown she’s wearing suits her comfortably.
He had zoned out completely that he didn’t realise that she had finished narrating everything about her life, how she came to New York from Boston, how her life almost ended tragically after she was raped , the real reason she actually left Boston to start over in New York.
He felt really bad to have missed out on such vital information on the girl he intended to take for himself. He apologized profusely to her and promised to make it up to her someway. She didn’t seem convinced with his response but at the same time she was kinda happy that he didn’t get to hear that part of her life because she didn’t want to know how he would have reacted to it, maybe he would have distanced himself from her or maybe not even talk to her again.
After the meal Audrey confessed to her that he actually ditched his class for her so whether she likes it or not is important to him and he would like to know more about her. This made her heart melt and she felt so alive for the first time in a long while. They then went for their respective classes, on getting there his lecturer was already in class teaching them. He couldn’t even concentrate on what was being taught in class as his mind was just on the mini date he just had with Stephanie. He plans on taking her out for more dates and he intends on making her his girlfriend but he didn’t want to move too fast.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey’s life in college revolved around Stephanie and his fellow werewolves as his main Intention of coming to college was to find a mate for himself and that mate would hopefully be Stephanie.
It was a bright morning and Audrey woke up due to his Roommate’s constant alarms urging him to wake up. He finally did so after so many grumbles. It happened to be the first day of their freshers orientation, on the college manual they were all given, they were expected to be seated at the college hall by 10am for the Vice Chancellor’s address but Audrey didn’t care for any of the things going on for him it was a moment to see Stephanie and bond with her once again but little did he know that there will be no time for that in the hall.
So when he got there he looked out for her and sat down beside her, they were both making a hell of noise during the program and they were punished with unpaid labor work for the rest of the week meaning they were both going to miss all the programs scheduled off the orientation week.
Audrey was assigned to the library while Stephanie was given a part of the Senate building; they barely saw each other all week and this made Stephanie really miss him as he often knew what to say when she was in a bad mood.
After the Labour experience, Audrey was sitting in his room reading a particular novel when he got a buzz from Austin that there was an urgent meeting in which all werewolves must be present. Shivers ran down his spine when he heard the news because they don’t usually have gatherings like this except it’s an emergency.
On getting there, there was plenty of food and drinks as they were still in their human form, after a while they had to transform into wolves to meet his twin brother and his father. The committee then broke it to him that he had to find a mate before the full moon began.
He was startled, “How the fuck am I supposed to get a mate before full moon, it was almost here” He angrily said. “We don’t know but it’s important to find one immediately before the full moon,” another werewolf replied as he stomped out of the place angrily and went home to clear his head.
He didn’t want to jeopardize his plans with Stephanie, “what if he ended up falling in love with him and she wasn’t his mate” he thought. He elapsed into more as the more he kept thinking about it the more it baffled him, she didn’t even know his real identity. SEARCH FOR LOVE
