Chapter 16
She suddenly started tearing up, and she couldn’t help when the tears started flowing down because she knew how hard it is losing a loved one in a terrible way. After a while they decided to head back home but Audrey said he didn’t feel like going home so they could all go home.
Stephanie knew he wanted to spend some time with his mother so she offered to stay behind and console him.
Both Roland and Derrick decided to go back home, after Roland had said he would send the second car to pick them up when they were ready.
Both of them sat in silence as they watched his mum’s grave. Audrey sat there crying like a baby as he remembered how his mother was killed, he blamed himself for his mother’s death, he wished he had come earlier, he wished he had transformed immediately he saw his mother in their hands, he wished he had not fought with Derrick at that point else his mother would have still been alive at that point. Stephanie was confused, she wanted to understand what he was talking about but she didn’t want to push further so she just held him in her arms as they both sat down facing the grave.
“It will be fine, you will be fine” she said and patted his head putting it on her shoulders
He was pissed at Stephanie for what she did in the morning but he knew he needed her at that point. So he just lay in her arms and cried .
“You know you don’t have to blame yourself for her death, I’m very sure she doesn’t blame you for her death, she knows you tried all your best to save her, and she knows that if you were given more chance you would have actually fought for her and saved her life” she said
” Blaming yourself or your brother will not bring your mum back” she continued.
” How did you know I’m not on good terms with my brother? ” he asked.
“It’s obvious to the blind Audrey, you have not said a word to him since we got back yesterday, you guys literally did not talk throughout dinner” she said.
“Well my brother and I have not really been on talking terms” he replied
” Is this because of Sophie?” she asked.
He was shocked that she knew about Sophie, they never really spoke about her.
“How did you know about her” he asked
“I see Derrick have been talking to you” he accused
She immediately laughed when he said this, ” you are acting like I wasn’t there when he mentioned that he was going to visit Sophie and you rolled your eyes” she said.
” Do you still like her?” she asked further.
” Is someone jealous?” he asked and laughed.
She just hissed and smacked him letting him know that she wasn’t jealous.
He knew that being around Stephanie was going to help him forget about everything, she was good company for him and she would make him forget about everything.
” Thank you for coming out with me today’ he said
“Wow you know how to apologize” she mocked, ” I thought you were angry with me” she continued further.
“Well what you did this morning was pretty annoying” he saidNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“, You told me to sleep with you in your room and you started asking me why I was in your room like I was some stranger, I felt offended you know” he said
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know how you got to my room now that’s why I was confused when I saw you in my room , don’t be angry baby” she said. Immediately she realized what she said, she immediately covered her head in embarrassment.
” Wait you called me baby,” he said and laughed
” That’s a first,” he said.
” Wow, someone has forgiven me already” he said
She immediately smacked him and said ” don’t get ahead of yourself you skunk”
“You still owe me though, just pray I’m not yet a werewolf”‘ she said
” So you are already a werewolf, you won’t accept me ” he asked
” Well part of the reasons I got angry at you was that you gave me no choice to make the decision” she said
” And you didn’t tell me about your real identity on time, it felt like you used me and lied to me” she said
He saw how hurt she was and he thanked her for opening up to him.
“I’m sorry for everything and I am very glad you still showed up for me regardless of everything that happened between us, I’m grateful for this really I am” he said and hugged her.
The lovebirds just stood there staring at each other, Stephanie knew that Audrey would never hurt her no matter what. He then brought her face closer and melted his lips into hers. They stood there kissing for a long time when Audrey broke away from her.
” What’s wrong?” she asked.
” I want to take you somewhere,” he said.
” It’s a surprise,” he said. “Just come along,” he continued.
“You guys sure do love surprises in your family” she teased
” Just shut up and come along,” he teased back.
” But we don’t have a car” she realized
” We don’t need a car for where we are going,” she said.
” We have our legs,” he said and tickled her.
This made her run so fast because she hates being tickled.
He chased her and they all ran along.
After, long rest, Audrey was woken up by his Butler to come for his dinner. He checked the time and saw that he had actually slept off for a long time. He wasn’t sure he was able to make it to the woods.
” Should I go wake Stephanie ” The butler asked
Audrey, who had forgotten that he brought a guest into his house, quickly jumped out of his bed,
” No, no I will check up on her myself” he replied.
She must still be sleeping, she is a very deep sleeper” he continued.
He immediately dashed out of his room, luckily for him Stephanie’s room was just across his own.
He knocked on her door but heard no response, he knocked and still no answer so he decided to leave her thinking she was still sleeping when he heard a voice behind him.
“Looking for the beauty you brought home” Derrick asked
It was his annoying twin brother again, he sighed.
“Hey Derrick , what’s up” he said and they both slammed their fists the way guys do when they don’t see each other after a long while
” Audrey, you don’t seem too happy to see me, I heard you sigh” Derrick teased and they both laughed.
” Honestly I never knew you had eyes for good girls in you, the girl you brought home is beautiful” Derrick Continued.
” Yes, thank you for staying off of her, this one will not be like Sophie” He replied to his brother
” Hey bro, don’t be so worked up, we are werewolves remember , we can only have one mate it’s a shame though I would have loved to take this one for myself” his brother continued and started walking away while laughing.
