Chapter 20
These ravens are the longest standing werewolf family in the history of Cleveland and even beyond, literally every member of their family were born werewolves and they also ensured they got mated to werewolves, unlike his family who mated with humans.
They were all looking fiery and hungry, they looked like they would eat the next set of humans they saw, they began charging towards Audrey and Stephanie. Audrey, who had sworn with everything to protect Stephanie, already noticed how scared she was. She had even already begun crying.
“Calm down” he said , ” they most likely don’t know my real identity yet” he said
” As they get closer to me they will notice and back off” he said
“What about me” she asked while crying
“Don’t worry, I will do everything in my power to protect you”he reassured her.
They kept moving towards them while growling and howling, this made Stephanie start screaming and she immediately wanted to run but she got held by Derrick.
“Are you nuts, are you trying to get you and my brother killed” he said
“But see they are approaching towards us and Audrey doesn’t seem to do anything about it” she said pointing in their direction.
” Leave Audrey, he knows what he is doing,” Derrick said.
” If he says he will protect you, trust him to protect you” he added
” Now we need to get out of here but not when we are surrounded with wolves trying to attack us” he said
” I’m sorry, Father did not want to show you everything about us this way, but you might have to watch this” Audrey chirped in.
” I Promised Father and mother to Protect you and I will make sure I live to my promise, I would not let them kill you the way they killed my mother” he continued
It was then it dawned on him that the people he saw his father with were the ravens, they didn’t go for him because they already knew who he was, that was why his father was so angry and that was why he changed into his wolf form. This set of Ravens did not know who they were, so he was certain that they would kill him and his brother if they didn’t do something quick. He immediately looked at his brother and they gave themselves signal, it was at that point they transformed into wolves and the ravens began retreating but they stopped in their tracks when they saw Stephanie did not change.
Audrey and Derrick began running towards the ravens and launching a counter-attack so they would not have leverage over them, they then instructed Stephanie to take the nearest exit as Derrick signaled to her that he already called the chauffeur when he noticed they were trying to escape.
Stephanie got out of the woods panting and gasping for breath, getting out of the woods was an easy task for her as Derrick had cleared a path and left marks for her incase of emergency. Immediately she got in the car, she picked up her phone to see if she had a signal and was immediately relieved when she saw that she had a signal on her phone.
The chauffeur drove her to the Brown residence, as she got down she was looking worried and tired. She was worried for both brothers, she hoped that this would help them patch things up, she was worried that Audrey would come home injured, she hoped and prayed for his safety as she entered the house.
Immediately she entered, she saw the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, she wondered who the girl was as she knew it was only Audrey, Roland and Derrick that lived here with the workers.
“Hi, I’m Sophie” the stranger said and stretched out her hand for a handshake
“Hi, I’m Stephanie”she replied while acknowledging the gesture shown to her by the stranger.
“Wow, nice to meet you, I can finally put a face to the name, I have heard so much about you” she said and laughed.
“Same here, I heard Audrey brought a girl home, so I decided to come check out who this mystery girl was, Audrey never brings girls home by the way” she replied .
She now knew why Audrey loved this girl, she was beautiful, had a good sense of humor, respectful and cute, she instantly fell in love with her.
” Have you been here for long” Stephanie asked
“No, no you don’t need to worry, even if I have been here for long, this is also my home” Sophie said.
” I was told that you went to pay homage to mum, I wish I could make it” she added, ” I never missed this but I was out of town, actually I have been out of town for a while now” sophie continued
This came as a surprise to her as Derrick had lied to them about going to see her, he only wanted an excuse not to stay in the house that day with them.
“By the way, form the looks of things they all went into the woods” Sophie chirped
” Yeah yeah, that’s where I am coming from” Stephanie replied.
” Wait what, you went to the woods with them?” Sophie asked with shock apparent in her eyes
“We did not all plan on going to the woods, Audrey and I stayed back to have a little chat with his mum since this was my first time meeting her, then he decided to show me something and led me into the woods that’s when we saw this scary scenario, his father was talking to some wolves in a very raspy voice and he sounded really angry and he transformed into one, Derrick was missing at the scene, Audrey knew this meant bad omen so he decided to take me away from all the drama when we were accosted by fierce looking wolves who looked like they were ready to eat us, it was Derrick who saved my life ” she narrated the story to them
” Jeez, the ravens again?”
” This is what Roland usually does anytime he goes to visit their mum, anger creeps in and he visits them but Audrey never follows them into the woods, it is only Derrick that does” Sophie said.
“You being there meant trouble and means trouble, the full moon is approaching and Audrey might need to get a mate before then else he won’t be crowned the Alpha prince” she continued.
” Word must not get out that a human was in the woods, why would Audrey make such a mistake, he has put your life at risk” Sophie lamented
” What do you mean, Sophie” Stephanie asked almost in tearsTêxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
” Don’t worry, you are safe just stay home and make sure not to go into the woods or any nearby bush without any of the Browns or even me” Sophie reassured
” I need to go check up on them” she continued and was walking away
“Isn’t it risky?” Stephanie asked.
