Trapped with the Alpha

It was all banter and jokes at the dinner table. Stephanie knew that if they kept it up nobody would eat that night because even Stephanie who was shouting for food had joined them in the cruise that night.

“Hey, Hey , It’s time to eat, people, enough chit chatting” she said in a strict time while coming from the kitchen

Her voice made everywhere silent instantly, she had that effect on them, they took her as their mother so they would not obey their mother instantly. She would often scold them when they are in the wrong and give them. motherly hugs and advice when they are right.

” You people can gist after eating, I want you guys to eat now, your food is getting cold “, she said and gave them a Stern look because she knew how mischievous Derrick could be, he could do or say something after she talked.

“Nanny, why are you looking at me like that?” Derrick said.

“Because I know you sir, you can say something stupid ” she said.

They all laughed because Nanny Maria was right, Derrick could say something after she had talked, he enjoyed teasing her. Afterwards they ate their meal in silence and cleared their dishes.

“Steph, let’s go and change,” Sophie said .

” You know what, we are going , both Derrick and I will go for the party” Audrey said

Derrick looked at him, shocked that he would give in to them going to the party, when did his brother become this dense because of love, he thought to himself.

” You and who?” Derrick asked “as for me and my household, I’m going nowhere” Derrick said and left them in the dining hall

Audrey pushed his brother upstairs as they had to talk “Did you hear her call us party poopers” Audrey said in hushed tones

“I heard loud and clear bro, I’m going nowhere, I hate parties you know that ” Derrick said.

“Wow, alright no problem” Audrey said, he wanted to guilt trip him into going for the party, like he usually did when they were kids, whenever Derrick did not want to participate in a fun activity he would often guilt trip him into changing his mind but this time it wasn’t working as it seems Derrick had set his mind on not attending the party with the girls .

” So you really don’t want to go, bro”, Audrey said sounding defeated.

“No bro, you know I hate parties, I would have gone if it were another gathering, I know you are worried about Stephanie, but Sophie is with her, she will be fine” Derrick reassured.

“Alright, bro, what will we be doing while we are here?” Audrey asked.

“Anything, bro” Derrick said

This made him smile as he did not give in to his brother for the first time in a long while.

Both girls prepared to go to the party, they got dressed, put on their makeup and wore their shoes , ready to leave the Brown mansion when they got called back by Audrey.

“Wait” Audrey shouted .

” What is it this time?” Sophie said and rolled her eyes.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

” Nothing, just take care of yourself Steph, you know you don’t know your way around Cleveland you know” He continued.

“Stop being a drama king, I know you never wanted me to go for this party” Stephanie teased

“But don’t worry, I will be fine, I have the strongest werewolf with me” she said while giving Sophie a pat on the back.

They both left for the party which was some miles away from the Brown residence, when they got into the house, it was buzzing with a beehive of activities there were lots of young girls and guys, drinking and smoking on once corner, the others were on the dance floor having the maximum fun of their life. Sophie tried locating her friend who invited her for the party but she did not seem to find her.

” Why don’t you call her? ” Stephanie suggested.

” Ooh my, that’s a good suggestion, why didn’t I think of it” she said and knocked her hand over head .

After about two rings Stella picked up the call,

“Hey girl, where are you?, we are at the party” Sophie said already sounding frustrated because she hated looking for people.

“””Ooh babe, I’m so sorry, I’m coming out now I was inside the building” she replied.

As both friends saw each other they bumped into each other, giving one another a very big hug to the amusement of those who stayed around them and onlookers too.

After the exchange of pleasantries, Sophie made sure she introduced Stephanie to Stella.

“Stella met Stephanie, and Stephanie met Stella 7” she said , they both shook hands and hugged each other.

“Stella is my long time friend. We go wayyyyyy back from high school, she even lives in Cleveland here before she left for Boston” Sophie said.

“Wow, Boston, I live there too but I’m currently in New York, I go to New York University” Stephanie said.

“Then what are you doing in Cleveland?” Stella asked .

“Sightseeing,” she replied. ” I love traveling,” she continued.

Sophie shook her head at Stephanie she knew She didn’t want to reveal that she is with Audrey so she decided to to pry into her business.

“Let’s come in,” Stella said after she noticed they had been standing outside for too long.

They all went inside the party venue, Sophie collected some drinks for them so they could loosen up a bit which quite worked because it wasn’t long after they had taken the drink that they had loosened up as Stephanie began dancing and shaking her body to the tune of the music.

“Stephanieeee” Sophie called out from across but she couldn’t be heard and music was blasting through the loudspeakers into their ears. She then noticed that Stephanie was not even hearing her call so she walked up to her and gave her a tap on the shoulder, ” Stephanie, I have been calling you, you didn’t hear me” She said.

“Whattt, you are spoiling the fun” Stephanie said.

“Someone looking at you, will think that you actually wanted to come for this party, to think that I forced you to come and you are already drunker than I am ” Sophie said.

“Don’t be a party pooper, come let’s dance” Stephanie said urging Sophie to come dance with her.

“No, I’m not dancing, I want you to meet somebody, he is a family friend to the Brown’s, and if you want your question answered faster he has the solution to them” Sophie said.

” I don’t want to meet anybody Soph, I just want to dance and have fun, it’s been a long time since I came to a party and had plenty of fun” She said.

“Well,” Sophie said, sounding defeated.

All of Sophie’s efforts to pull Stephanie out of the crown proved abortive, what was she going to do? , Who was going to drive them home. So she decided to walk up to Nathan, the guy she tended to Stephanie to meet.
