Derek:I waited at the foyer as night fell, for Alisha to come out from my mother’s room, and be in her way. I longed to have time alone with her even if it was just for a moment.I felt impatient, or rather it was an anticipatory feeling that it made me long to drag her out of my mother’s room myself.Soon my attention was brought to the sound of her footsteps down the hallway and towards my direction.I met her gaze, which turned from surprise to suspicious.“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be asleep or something?” She asked in a breath and I let a smirk tilt my lips upwards. I held her hoodie in her hands and reached out to hand it to her which she gazed at with shock.“I had to return this to you,” i said confidently. “Don’t stare at it, darling, just take it.”She reached out and took it from my grasp but not before our fingers brushed.“Thanks,” she sounded sarcastic as she verbalized her gratitude, and began to tug the jacket over her torso. I mourned the lost si

Alisha“I’m done with this,” I handed the patient’s folder back to Simon who hummed and tossed it aside without even glancing to check. He looked extremely busy, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and the sound of his muttering and scribbling of the pen filled the small space of his office. I couldn’t help the corners of my lips quirking up into a smile before I shook my head minutely and left.The clinic was closed for the day and I relished in the emptiness of the clinic, but my mind wandered. I had been trying to get Derek and his behavior the previous night out of my mind and used work as a distraction to do so. However it was clear that I still had him in mind.I let out a soft groan and wished I could have my twins beside me, so I would distract myself even more by focusing on the ire care.I missed them; I missed my children so much that it hurt. But I also knew I couldn’t provide for them the way that Derek would. There, they were considerably happier and got a lot more

AlishaStanding, Kaiden looked just about as tall as Benjamin, and had dark eyes and hair. He had a stubble, which was different from how I remembered him years back. And he looked battle worn.“Alpha Derek of the Red Wolf Pack,” Kaiden bowed slightly, not too deeply as to proclaim his servitude, but deep enough to show his respect for Derek.Then the Beta’s eyes flickered to me, whose face he couldn’t see under my large hood, and back to Derek.“I thought we agreed on not having anyone else at this meeting,” Kaiden said sounding on edge. I’m sure he felt like he was walking into a trap.I stepped forward and spoke, “Im not just anyone else, Kaiden.”Then I removed my hood, and his eyes widened in surprise as he saw me.A chuckle left his lips shortly after.“Don’t tell me… He’s been looking for you at all the wrong places, it seems. You’re back at the Red Wolf Pack,” Kaiden remarked.I shot back with, “I only just returned a few weeks ago. But, thats not what we’re here to talk about

DerekThe treaty had been agreed on, if only informally.I waited until Kaiden had left the clearing where we had our meeting. As I watched him disappear into the darkness of the forest, my thoughts were full of so many things - past memories, and future plans.I was glad that I would be able to have an ally in Kaiden. He would make a good Alpha, as he was charismatic enough and cared for the Silver Moon Pack. To be fair, I thought anyone was better than the Mad Alpha Sebastian. And if such a treaty between our two packs was reached it would put both mine and Kaiden’s names in the history books.Sebastian would no longer be too much trouble, and now I was free to think about how to deal with Gerard. I thought about my last with that snake of a Beta. I hated him, both as a Beta and as the friend of my father.If I was going to be rid of him it would take more than just killing his spies; I would have to find something on him that would drive the Elders of our pack to favor me over him.

Alisha:“Screw him,” I cursed while I tried on another damned dress. I didn’t like the idea that I was being forced to go to dinner with Derek, simply because I had been too enraged to not take him on in a spar.Despite the compliments on my ‘truly dangerous’ fighting skills, my pride still bruised a bit.I stared at my reflection and couldn’t help but scowl.Pink definitely wasn’t my color. There was a time I felt like being delicate was a virtue, and I always sought to do no harm wherever I found myself. But I had grown hard from the trials and tribulations that life had to offer me.I sighed, pushing the straps of the pink dress down my shoulders and it fell to the ground, the dress pooling around my feet. Stepping out of it I began once more to rummage through the wardrobe for anything that wasn’t too… ‘not me’, to wear.I didn’t know why but the thought of wearing something unattractive and dowdy made me mad and frustrated. Even if I was just having dinner with Derek, whose opini

AlishaDamn it. Damn it!All the regrets I had upon accepting Derek’s dinner bet had come to roost, and I stood up at once, looking from left to right to orient myself.The sun streamed in through the windows and I knew it had to be late in the morning for that to happen.Oh, goddess, what had I done?I began to query myself like never before. I dug my fingers into my hair and tried not to scream in frustration.Had it been the wine? It had been a little too sweet for my liking. Had Derek put something inside it?Or the food?It had been delicious to say the least . I felt my appetite awaken iron recalling how scrumptious each dish tasted, from the soupy appetizer to the creamy dessert with strawberry glaze.And I had eaten it all up! If there was a way for me to have been drugged or poisoned, that would definitely be it.“Alisha?” Derek’s voice rang and made me stiffen, before whipping my head to glare at him. A growl slipped through my lips and I longed to lash out at him.He must h

Alisha“Alis,” Mischa was the one to say my name and stand up from her seat to pull me into a hug, all smiles. My body was stiff and i kept my eyes on Derek’s, whose expression had slowly morphed into confusion.As my best friend saw the look on my face, she asked in a low and soft voice, “what’s wrong, Alis?”She sounded so worried for me and I glanced briefly at her and tugged my hand from her loose grasp.“Derek, I’d like to speak with you in private,” i emphasized the words ‘I’m private’ and his brows furrowed.“Alisha, come on,” Mischa sighed. “This isn’t like you. Did anything happen? I thought you were with the twins?” She asked those questions one after the other and I could tell she was trying to distract me.They must have caught on to the fact that I wasn’t in a good mood and tried to make me feel better, as well as defuse the situation.“How about this?” Benjamin joined in, keeping a pleasant tone on his face though there was concern behind his words. “You can sit with us

Derek:It took me a lot longer than I would ever admit to return to normal.In the wake of Alisha’s abrupt exit, I felt the stinging pain of rejection, and the bitter taste of defeat on the top of my tongue.It felt truly awful: like a burning in my chest and a heaviness that left me reminded of the two years Alisha hadn’t been in the pack or in my life by my own stupid mistakes.I left the portrait room and went back to the study, my body moving on autopilot. The zeal I had to hang out with my friend and his mate (and possibly include Alisha in the mix) had vanished straight into thin air.I had made another mistake, and I knew it. It was just another in the long list of reasons why Alisha refused to return to me.I shouldn’t have brought the children into our disagreeable relationship. I had known it was wrong but somehow I had been a little desperate. I knew that Alisha would never have the heart to say no to anything the twins asked her, and thought I could take advantage of it.“
