Trapped with the Alpha

Sophie on the other hand also woke up with a big hangover, but this time Derrick was not there for her, he had placed everything she needs to get better at arm’s length but he knew he would not stay there, he could not stand vomit and what’s more could not stand a drunken person when they are having hangovers and this she already knew, so she had to take care of herself. She knew how caring Audrey was and knew that Audrey would never leave Stephanie like that because he loved her.

“This jerk, he left me all to myself” she screamed , “why did I choose to fall in love with him, at least he got me some painkillers and helped me to bring my food in and he also made me some coffee, how romantic” she said in a sarcastic tone. I

Unknown to her, Derrick was just in the adjacent room monitoring all her activities through the security systems so if she ever needed his help he would be able to rush in, he kept laughing and admiring how she was cursing at him the time she thought he was not there. It was cute and adorable for him to watch. He felt like he was watching a movie about his own girlfriend. It was amusing to watch. After she took care of herself she decided to go downstairs for a walk since no man was there, Stephanie would still be sleeping, that was when he ran in

“How nice of you to come when I had finished taking care of my hangover, at least you left some things for me to take care of myself” she said and folded her arms

” Don’t be so grumpy, love, you know how much I hate taking care of drunk people,” he said.

She wondered how someone would hate something like that even to his own girlfriend.

” I am your girlfriend, I’m supposed to be an exception to your rule” she said and stormed out of the room. He just looked and laughed the way she walked out, she looked like a midget as she was walking.

As she stormed out, she saw Audrey going out of his room

“How’s Stephanie?” she asked.

” Well for someone who had so much alcohol last night you seem fine to me” he teased.

He had just teased her and she hated it so much when Audey teased her it made her blood boil so she just hit him in the stomach and stormed out.

” How cranky” he said to himself and laughed, he knew exactly why she was that way his brother had abandoned her again and left her to his fate. ” You can’t blame the poor boy, he said he hates drunks” he thought to himself.

“She is fine, she’s sleeping , thanks for asking” he called out to her as she walked out.

He then decided to go for his walk, he caught up with her and asked if she could join him

” Despite all your running I still got you” he teased.

” You know I hate when you tease me right” she said while frowning

“Hey, stop frowning you will look ugly” he said .

” Why didn’t we end up together?” she thought to herself, knowing she had said it out loud.

It was a question she had to ask though because she and Audrey seemed to have better chemistry both as wolves and as humans, they knew how to get along unlike her relationship with Derrick it felt like he shut her out a lot leaving her out of important things in his life. It was his way of dealing with things when was going through problems.

” I don’t know, we were not mated,” he replied and chuckled.

“Ooh my, did I say that out loud I didn’t intend to say that” she said.

” Don’t worry, it’s fine if you want to go for a walk, maybe we can go for one” he asked and winked.

” Just a walk, Audrey , nothing more. We are with different people now,” she said.

” Don’t you trust me anymore, sure a walk besides I love Stephanie too much to hurt her” he replied.

They both went on their walk talking about the different things she saw yesterday and laughing about it. She even showed him embarrassing videos she had made of Stephanie at the party and they both laughed and enjoyed each other’s company as they went on their walk.

” I saw Nathan” he spilled, “actually I have been seeing him and communicating with him since your mother died” she said further.

” Wait what Nathan , the Nathan that left for Boston, i have not heard from him in a long while, hope he is fine” he asked.

” What is he doing in Cleveland, I never knew he was here” he asked again.

“Well, he is in Cleveland State University, sophomore year, I did not know I would bust into him at the party” she said, he never also told me he attends CSU, we were still in Boston” she said further.

“Wow, did you invite him over?” he asked.

“Yes, I did as a matter of fact I even wanted to introduce him to Stephanie, but she was too drunk to do any introduction ” she said and laughed. Audrey laughed as he imagined how it would be drunk nSophie dragging Drunk Stephanie to meet a man she has never seen before and Stephanie insisting that she did not want to meet him.

“Actually I heard he had an ugly past, back in Boston that is part of the reason he left for Cleveland hoping to have a fresh start” she said

“Wow, how did you know this” he asked

“Who else, Stella my friend who invited me for the party , I never knew that she also knew him”.

Audrey sighed at the news he just heard, he would not put it past Nathan to rape somebody it was something he was was capable of doing, that was when he remembered that the first time he actually got to meet Stephanie she mentioned that she lived in Boston and she was raped by a certain man, part of her reasons for actually leaving her other college. He now wished more than ever that they had actually met the night before it would provide answers to the many questions popping up in his head so he was going to be sure it was Nathan who actually talked Stephanie before inviting him over to his house but how was he going to ask the question not like he could bring up the matter just like that.

Sophie noticed that Audrey had actually zoned out in his thoughts ,

“What’s wrong” she said waving two fingers at him

“Nothing, I just remembered something,” he replied.

“Obviously, you are not fine because you immediately zoned out when I mentioned the rape” she probed further.

” Sophie, you are a bit close to Steph now, did she ever mention to you that she was raped” he asked.

” No, why do you ask?” she said wondering why everything suddenly became awkward.

“Nothing, I just wanted to confirm something,” he said.

“But was she raped?” She asked

“You know Steph lived in Boston right, before she came to NYU for college” he said , ” in fact she is a transfer student” he stated
