Chapter 42 They Won

"That might not have been enough to make you whine in pain but I assure you that you won't have that haughty look in a few minutes," The assassin threw the gun to the floor and brought out a brown dagger he hid underneath his cape.

Audrey took her stance ready to attack and also defend against the guy's attack.

The battle wasn't an easy one since both Audrey and the man were equally matched in terms of strength, flexibility and agility.

The man repeatedly pierced Audrey all over with the dagger in his possession.

Thank goodness for her quick regenerating ability or Audrey would have become an handicapped due to the man's brutality.

Audrey, leaning on the huge tree to catch her breath, moved away in a flash when she saw the man charged toward her with his clasped fist.

Because Audrey moved away at the last minute the man punched the tree hard. The impact of the punch caused the tall tree to sway violently.

Had it been Audrey's head he punched he would no doubt have splitted Audrey's skull into two with his punch.

The guy swayed his right hand backwards and also turned around at the same time to attack Audrey standing behind him.

The next thing he felt was a burning sensation on his chest. He lowered his gaze and was stunned to see a dagger stuck to his chest.

"You…," The guy whom Audrey has stabbed through the heart with a silver dagger fell to the ground unable to complete his last sentence.

Audrey moved closer to where the man in Black cape lay. She didn't need anyone to tell her that he was near disintegrating to ashes since it was very obvious.

"Do you know the set of people I never forgive?" Audrey squat in front of the man.

"It's the set of people who think that they can hurt me or those who are important to me and go scot-free".

Audrey showed no form of sympathy or guilt as she squats there and sees the guy gradually disintegrate to dust in front of her.

If she wasn't on par with him then she would have been the one dying right now so why should she feel sympathetic towards a guy whose motive was to kill her.

Audrey stood up and turned her back on the ashes covering the green spot some distance from where she stood. "It was your bad luck for running into a girl called Audrey Lopez today".

Audrey swaggerliciously dusted off her shoulder. She disappeared almost immediately.

When Audrey returned to the spot she left Jocelyn, she was shocked to the marrow not to see Jocelyn there.

Her heart began beating fast against her chest when she still couldn't find Jocelyn even after searching the nearby surroundings.

"Don't tell me she got taken away by the gunmen?" Realisation struck Audrey hard as she grabbed her head.

"Sh*t! Goddamn it!" Audrey cursed loudly. She ran deeper into the forest with hope of finding Jocelyn.

Audrey halted after running for over ten minutes nonstop. "Damn! I am afraid I am gonna lose my mind if this goes on" said Audrey as she held her forehead.

She stood there with her eyes closed. Audrey let her senses travel as far as they could. Her eyes flew open when she sniffed the familiar scent.

Audrey spun around in a flash and behold there stood the smiling Jocelyn.

She stood there staring at the smiling lady without knowing how to react.

She almost went insane thinking that harm had befallen her and here Jocelyn is smiling like someone who had no care in the world.

"I never thought that you loved me so much until a moment ago," said Jocelyn, still maintaining her charming smile.

"If I had become so important to you then what are you gonna do when you leave in a few hours?".

Audrey got over the shock as fast as it came. She walked closer to where Jocelyn stood.

"Hey, how could you do that? Do you know how scared I was? I even thought that they…," Audrey hesitated on completing what was on her mind.

"Actually, that wasn't a prank but I went in search of you too and unfortunately I couldn't find you," Jocelyn said, her smiling gradually faded from her pretty face.

Some minutes ago when Audrey was confronting one of the assassins which turned out to be a vampire she also was busy taking care of the remaining men.

She was distracted by the fight and didn't see when Audrey left the place.

Jocelyn was stunned when she couldn't find Audrey and tried to follow her scent.

She searched and searched the forest but she couldn't find Audrey. She didn't even know when she drifted farther into the forest.

Jocelyn was trying to retrace her steps when she heard Audrey screaming her name at the top of her lungs.

Something inside of her told her to hide and watch Audrey in secret. She could no longer handle the pains in Audrey's voice when she was yelling her name and that is why she finally made her presence known.

"I was also searching for you too…,"

"And that was in opposite directions and that's exactly the reason we didn't bump into each other earlier," Jocelyn smiled at Audrey.

Audrey's racing heart slowly returned to normal after making sure that Jocelyn was fine. It was after she calmed down she realised that Jocelyn had shifted back to her human form and was even wearing clothes.

It was in her presence that Jocelyn shifted to a werewolf some hours ago. She saw Jocelyn's clothes ripped into pieces when she shifted so where on Earth did she find the set of clothes she was wearing.

"Where did you get clothes?" Audrey pointed at the black short sleeve shirt and trousers Jocelyn wore.

Because Jocelyn wasn't wearing bras, her tits were shooting out from underneath the shirt.

"This is all thanks to Rach or else I would have been completely nude when I shifted back to human," Jocelyn said smiling. She didn't look a bit ashamed that she looked disheveled.

Audrey looked confused. She didn't understand what Rachel had to do with the clothes Jocelyn was wearing. "What does Rachel have to do with this? Did you meet up with her here?"

Jocelyn began walking. And as they made their way out of the forest Jocelyn went ahead to tell Audrey why she attributed the credits to Rachel.

Rachel has always been a caring girl. They met when they were barely six and this happened when Rachel was getting bullied.

Just like her, Rachel is an orphan. The only difference between them is that she has a big brother who is an Alpha to always protect her while Rachel only has an old grandmother.

And because of this Rachel was always picked on by the Pack's children but all their bullying stopped when she and Rachel became friends.

Because Jocelyn's loves shifting to her true form whenever they enter the forest, Rachel developed a habit of always hiding clothes in the forest.

This was so that Jocelyn would not go home nude after shifting back to her human form. The hidden clothes always come in handy just like today.

"You both share such a deep bond just like Anna and I do," Audrey smiled.

Jocelyn abruptly stopped walking and held Audrey's hand so that she did the same.

​ "Tell me more about your friendship with Joanna. You both are leaving soon and I am not even sure whether we will meet again in this lifetime. At least I will use the stories you will tell me to remember you both for a long time," There was a hint of sadness in Jocelyn's eyes as she spoke.

"Let's go. I will tell you as much as I can," Audrey said carefreely.

Jocelyn and Audrey chatted as they went around the forest collecting their catch. Audrey also pulled out her jacket and gave it to Jocelyn to wear so that her nipples won't be too exposed .

When they were almost about to reach the pack Jocelyn held Audrey's hand again. She turned and paid full attention to Audrey.

"Audrey, please don't tell anyone about what happened at the forest earlier," Jocelyn said meekly. She dropped on the ground the prey she had tied into three big bunches.

"Although I don't know how a vampire and human infiltrate our pack and even dared to attack me, there will be a big catastrophe if my brother or any of the pack members learn about this…," Jocelyn trailed.

Audrey could swear that she hasn't seen Jocelyn this serious about a discussion since she knew the girl.

"It might even threaten the treaty the three worlds have managed to keep despite the difficulties".
