Chapter 39
Edwin & Audrey Edwin's POV
Just as I suspected, sleep was eluding me that night; I kept tossing and turning, unable to find any semblance of rest. I knew I shouldn't have had that last glass of whiskey, but I had gotten ahead of myself, trying to dull my frayed nerves in the wake of a string and texts and phone calls from the last person I wanted to hear from.
And now I was restless, my brain fuzzy and my tongue heavy.
Finally, with a frustrated groan, I grabbed my phone off of the nightstand in the hopes. that maybe some mindless scrolling would lull me to sleep-or at the very least, that it would keep me occupied enough so that my brain didn't wander into territory that I didn't want it to. Staring at my phone like a mindless zombie was an unusual habit for me, but I supposed that it got the best of all of us sometimes.

But I could make them out. Behind the main subjects, who were smiling and making funny faces into the camera, I could see two figures in the background.
I could see who was there in that dimly lit hallway, pressed up against the wall. Whose hand was tipping whose chin up. I recognized that long, dark hair, those slender legs, that delicate nose.
Audrey. And that f**g kid from the restaurant.
Instantly, I felt my stomach twist at the sight of them there in that hallway. "What a great party," the caption read-showcasing several other pictures of a bonfire, wine glasses, playing cards, dancing bodies. "Can't wait for the next one!" A low, involuntary growl rumbled i

My grip tightened on my phone until my knuckles turned white. I could feel my wolf stirring inside of me, growling with jealousy.
