Chapter 71
“Dumb head that man you see over there is not after you neither is he after or anybody else, he is just following you because he wants to know when you will meet up Stephanie and probably ambush her, you know all the Ravens are after is to get rid of that girl so you don’t get a mate by full moon” his brother explained.
“Well, he would not have the chance to do that” Audrey said already clenching his fists ready to go throw the first blow at the Ravens but he was held back by Derrick .
“What do you think you are doing man”Derrick said holding his brother’s arms tightly so he does not get loose and run off
” To ask him what he wants, it is just going to be a friendly question comrade” Audrey said and winked at his brother.
” A friendly question you said, that is why you are already clenching your gist towards him, you are only going to worsen things, don’t let them get to you, you showing that their presence affects you is making them feel good about themselves” Derrick said reassuring his brother that everything would be fine
It took a whole lot to calm Audrey down, it was only After Austin intervened and the Raven had left that Audrey was able to calm down but he was still worried about Stephanie’s safety, he feared that she would be attacked one day and taken away from him..
” What about Stephanie, what if they approach her under the guise of being her friend, and she accepts what am I going to do then?” Audrey asked with worry written all over this face.
” Don’t worry we will protect her, no raven can attack her when we are here” Derrick assured his shoulders brother and tapped his .
They then left the basketball court in search of Stephanie, hoping to see if they could get across to her, Audrey tried reaching out to her but all to no avail, he called her number, went to her dormitory to see if she was around, when all possible avenues of reaching Stephanie failed he started panicking and became worried that he did not see her.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Derrick then decided to call Mirabel with the hopes that Mirabel would have an idea about her
K
?”Heyyyy, Mirabel this is Derrick” he said over the phone.
” Ooooh Derrick, Audrey’s ,.,, right” Mirabel said.
” Yeah yeah, do you have any idea on where Stephanie went, Audrey is going crazy now he has been trying to reach her but to no avail” Derrick said.
” Wow, she is with me right now” Mirabel replied laughing because she knew what amount of
f scene that Audrey would have made.
” Oooh alright we are on our way to your house” Derrick said.
They all went to Mirabel’s house only to find Stephanie sleeping soundly , this made Audrey give a sigh of relief at least she was safe, all he needed to do was to continue keeping her safe.
Mirabel woke Stephanie up to see the visitors who had come for her.
“Steph, you have some visitors” Mirabel said tapping her to wake up
Stephanie, who was still sleeping, woke up questioning why she was disturbed from her sleep.
” What is it Mirabel” Stephanie asked
” Did you not see the people who came to see you, three grown men came to see you and you are asking me why I am disturbing you” Mirabel said sighing at her friend’s behavior.
Audrey just chuckled and went to sit beside her. She was always cute whenever she was just waking up and he enjoyed watching her being grumpy.
” You look cute when you do that,” he teased her.
She gave him a weird look and hissed, she was wondering why he was looking for her.
” Audrey what’s up, I was sleeping and you came to disturb me” she questioned him, meeting him now that she was kinda pissed about the whole thing.
” So you are now angry” Audrey kept teasing and tickling her.
After a while he was able to make her laugh and be comfortable with him.
” Seriously though, what are you doing here, you disrupted my sleep you know” she said.
” We were just worried Steph, we needed to find you and know that you are in safe hands” Derrick interrupted.
” What do you mean safe, I have been at Mirabel’s place all day” she said looking at Mirabel and looking at the others afterwards.
” We saw a Raven, he has been patrolling campus, and we have certain reasons to believe that he has been stalking Audrey for a while now” Austin said.
This made Stephanie’s eyes open instantly, she now understood why they were all looking for her and doting on her.
” Did he follow you guys here? I don’t want a situation where Mirabel would be dragged into all my mess,” she said, getting worried.
” Don’t worry babe, he did not follow us, I did not give him a chance to follow us, he even left the court before us” Audrey said.
“So they really would not leave me alone huh?” she said in a sad tone.
This literally broke Audrey’s heart, he did not like seeing her sad or unhappy, he wished there was a way that he could make the Ravens stop pressuring them or his family, he would instantly make it happen. His hands were tied at this point because if he should strike first there would be serious problems between his family and that of the ravens, so he had to guard the woman he loves like he was guarding a dog to prevent it from being hurt.
“Don’t worry babe, we will do all we can to prevent them from hurting you, that is why we need to know your whereabouts as from now, besides I doubt that they would strike first without particularly getting close to you”Audrey said holding her hands to assure her of his undying love for her.
” For some reasons this all feels weird that y’all are in my room” Mirabel teased, she had never received this many visitors since she came to Boston. They all laughed, they never knew how cool Mirabel was for them she was just the best friend to the girl their guy loves so she was not just the main character in their story. But that day on getting there, they saw how caring she was towards Stephanie, and Stephanie also loved her with all of her heart, so they knew how heartbroken they would be if anything ever happens to any of them be it Stephanie or Mirabel.
“Mirabel the same goes for you, you are also in this mess as long as you are her best friend because the Ravens might sometimes use you to lure her in or vice versa so you need to be extremely careful when walking around campus”, Austin said looking at Mirabel
They then told her the signs she would use to know s raven from afar so she would not fall into their trap in case they all came under the guise of making friends with her or Stephanie.
” Alright, alright, I feel like I am in final destination, I know something bad is about to happen to either of us but we don’t just know when those things will happen” Mirabel teased.
That is one thing about people like Mirabel; they always bring out lively situations even from extremely serious moments and that is why Austin was growing to like her and her personality.
” You love making jokes don’t you”Audrey teased
“Well I like her, she seems fun” Derrick replied enjoying the girl he just met for the first time.
” I am Derrick by the way,” he said, stretching out his hands for a handshake.
” I know you durrrr, Stephanie has told me all about you” she replied also stretching out her hands to receive the handshake
” I hope they are good things,” Audrey said, feeling himself
