Chapter 13
“I think I’m in love, I think I can feel it, way back when I was young
I heard about love , I never believed it and then you changed my mind
in world record time, you said Hello and I said baby don’t tell me good-bye
cause now I’m in love and can you believe it that being in love is just as easy as breathing”
She said while singing at the top of her lungs.
Her best friend just laughed at her and continued pressing her phone.
They both left the hostel and Stephanie went for her class while Mirabel visited her mum, the main reason she came to New York.
After her class, she decided to take a personal tour of campus. She needed some time alone to think about what she was about entering into and maybe Audrey was worth it. Worth risking her whole life for, and worth changing her personality for.
She didn’t know if she would miss being a human or if being a werewolf would interest her too.
She walked around campus that she forgot she had an assignment to submit to her lecturer the next day and she needed it to be submitted early as she was traveling to Ohio the next day, so she proceeded to the school library to do some research on the assignment.
Audrey on the other hand was in his room packing the clothes he would need for the whole week he would be at his place, as packed his luggage his mind wandered back home and wondered why they wanted him back home , he couldn’t help but think about his father falling sick or something bad happening at home.
“What if another fight had started and the people who killed his mother are already starting another war?” he thought.
” I really do not want to get involved in another fight, the last fight cost me my mother and my family has not recovered from their death yet’ he said to himself.
He knew that he did not have a good relationship with his father and brother but he knew how much they were suffering and how much his dad still misses his mother even if he refuses to show it.
His family, though rich, did all they could to make sure their mother did not die but death had no respect for people.
He stumbled on one of his mother’s pictures as he was packing and this made him remember how life was before his mother died, everything was perfect and he didn’t have to feel insecure about anything or his mother’s love because he knew just how much his mother loved him and his twin brother, life was so easy then. Deep in his heart he wished his mum was alive because she knew what to do regarding his situation with Stephanie, just like her his mum was also a human before she met his dad.
He had so many fond memories of his mother that he didn’t know when he broke down in tears, his mother has been gone for a long period of time but her death still haunts him till date. His mind goes back to the day his mother died, he remembered holding her lifeless body in his hands and saying revenge on anyone who had a hand in killing her. He still has not forgotten his promise to take revenge on anyone who killed his mother.
He remembered one particular memory from his childhood, he was crying that particular day as he couldn’t transform to a wolf just yet while his twin brother already knew the theatrics and would often go into the forest to play wolf with their friends he would feel left out and sad.,
So his mum would notice and take him out to the woods too transform himself to a wolf and pretend he was also a wolf and play wolf with him , she did that until one day himself into a wolf without her help but she never stopped nevertheless. She continued making time out to play with him even if it was tedious for her. It was then he knew he really loved his mum and was willing to do anything for her.
So he made up his mind and decided to go back to his family for his mother’s sake. His mother wouldn’t have abandoned his family for anything. So he wouldn’t abandon them too.
After packing everything he needed to pack, he heard a knock on the door and went to open up. He found out it was his roommate.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
” Yo, where have you been all this while” He asked Bradley
” I’m sorry for ghosting on you man, it was an emergency I had to visit home for a while, my mum was sick” he said.
” Ooh alright man, I will be leaving for Ohio tomorrow”he replied.
“Wow is everything alright man” Bradley asked
” Yeah yeah I need to sort some things out, it’s no problem” he replied.
“I’m going out to get some food ” he continued, he was on his way out when he remembered he hadn’t booked his and Stephanie’s flight for Ohio which was the next day. They had both been so caught up in their problems that he forgot to book their flight.
.” shitttt” he exclaimed
This made Bradley really worried ” what’s up man” ,
” I’m sorry for exclaiming like that I forgot to book our flight to Ohio and it’s tomorrow” Audrey said.
This came as a shock to Bradley “Our?” He asked
” Ooh Stephanie and I,” Audrey replied.
” I see ” Bradley said ” wow that fast, the relationship seemed to move really fast, going to meet the parents so soon” he teased.
” Well yeah, it’s no issues, just some meetings. Besides, I have some emergencies at home,” Audrey replied.
” Okay okay it’s fine by the way since you are going to Ohio tomorrow its interstate there’s really no issues booking your flight on the spot it’s safe I’ve done it before” Bradley reassured him.
” Thanks man I really appreciate this ” Audrey thanked him
” I need to get some food right now. I’m very hungry, I will be back in a bit” he said.
Immediately he said that he zoomed out of the house to the nearest restaurant and bought some food and ordered some to be sent to Stephanie’s hostel too.
After he had bought the food he went to his hostel, had a little discussion with his roommate. He made sure not to open up too many details about his life just yet, he didn’t want his roommate getting all scared again because of his real identity. So he just gave him surface details about himself , maybe when he got back from home he would be willing to share more.
After they spoke he decided it was time for him to sleep as he had a long day tomorrow and needed to wake up early. They both bade each other goodnight and out of the light.
Soon after Bradley heard Audrey Snoring and laughed after which he slept.
