AlishaI worked absentmindedly, waving goodbye to the last patient to leave my desk. And with a sigh, i began to note down the date of the next appointment on the patient’s folder. Even as I did, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.I had never been on a date before last night. When I had been with Sebastian… i had not even been granted the mercy of being recognized as his mate. So it was a new thing to me to be courted, or rather to go on a date and slowly build a relationship. That had been Simon’s advise to me last night, as he implored me to meet with Derek.I usually didn’t want to raise my expectations but… i couldn’t help thinking about how perfect last night was.Dining in the courtyard, under the stars… and then being able to be embraced by him.Even though I didn’t want to give in to Derek due to our past issues, it was becoming harder and harder to stay aloof.He was winning and I liked that he was.“You’ve had a smile on your face since morning, Alisha,” i looked up as I he

DerekI was just entering my home from inspecting the borders when I saw my mother storming down the steps.I gaped at her; she looked furious, more so than I had ever seen her in my life.“Mother,” i stopped her from leaving. “What happened?”“What do you think happened, Derek? It’s Gerard! Again! And his damned spies!” She looked furious. “Simon sent me a letter.” She handed it to me.I read through the letter quickly and immediately the words stood out to me.‘A maid from the Beta’s home came here asking Alisha questions. I managed to send her away but she might raise suspicions.’Alisha.I growled in response, turning right around and walking out of the house. I could hear my mother following me as we went right to the pack clinic.My urge to tear out Gerard’s throat and get him out of the way once and for all rose within me.He dared to spy on Alisha?!What nerve!We entered the pack clinic, hearing my mother call out to Doctor Simon.As soon as I spotted him leaving the office i

Alisha“No.” I replied without thinking.My refusal immediately brought a wave of upset voices as I expected. Simon and Melissa both gave me disapproving looks and the loudest of the protesters was my own mate.“What are you saying, Alisha?” Derek clasped my hand with his, sounding extremely tense. “You can’t stay here anymore.”“And it’s safer with us,” Melissa argued, although her voice was calmer. I could see the lines between her brows and how tense edge and Simon were.I couldn’t help but feel touched at their concern for me, which was clear as day. However I couldn’t bring myself to accept their offer.Finding out about Gerard and his daughter Lila, who was obsessed apparently with Derek… it was too much to bear and it just made me feel like…“What if that makes things worse?” I asked softly. “I have to put my babies first, no matter what. Right now, all they did was send some maid to spy on me. The Beta may have suspicions but he likely has no evidence. He can’t come to any con

DerekI couldn’t miss it - the presence behind those bushes. They had to be waiting for me, because I could feel their gaze on me like a brand.Of course there had to be another spy.How could I have let my guard down?!While Alisha walked back home with my mother, I grit my teeth as I silently gestured to the guard who had been standing alert at the door of the clinic.He immediately came to me in a flash, and I ordered, “Theres someone over there by the bushes. Bring them to me.” Pause. “If you’re unable to do so, then kill them.”The guard bowed and said, “Yes Alpha.”I turned away, hearing more than one set of footsteps as I walked back to the house. I was deep in thought.Gerard had to have heard that my mother and I ran over to the pack clinic to see Alisha. There was no other way to explain how he would have the presence of mind to put another spy in wait for me.Damn it.I clenched and unclenched my hands, trying to stay calm even though thee was a lot at stake.How had I let

AlishaI opened my eyes to the sound of birds chirping at my window.This time, instead of the anxiousness I felt at staying in Derek’s home like last time, there was nothing but leave and feeling protected from the ills of the outside.I closed my eyes again, relishing in the soft sheets and the sunlight streaming into the room through the window.This was going to be a beautiful day. It was a new start for me, and for Derek. And I felt blessed to have come this far.Fully awake now, I sat up slowly, suddenly aware of an aroma in the air. I sniffed, turning my head only to meet the eyes of Derek who was seated in an armchair.“Good morning,” i softly said.Then I noticed the tray of food beside him. That had to be where the aroma was coming from, i deduced, standing up slowly. The weight of my pregnant belly had changed my center of gravity ever so slightly that getting out of bed was getting difficult.Regardless the food was calling out to me with its aroma, and I was salivating at

Alisha:I had never been more nervous for anything in my life.The maid that Derek had assigned to bathe and dress me was a young girl, who chattered endlessly about her family, especially her brother who was a low-ranking warrior in the Pack.I listened, using her excited words as a way to distract myself from the anxiousness building up within me that my stomach felt heavy with unease.Melissa was there in the bedroom looking through various clothes when I stepped out of the bathroom wearing a fluffy white robe. She looked just as tense, is not more, than I felt.“Alisha, dear,” she smiled at me. “I brought over some really nice clothes. Why don’t you try them on and see which you prefer?”I looked at the expensive silks and satins in her arms. They were a lot more than I had ever expected to wear.“I don’t know if I’ll be able to pull of off,” i nervously stated, in an attempt to calm the air. “They look so… luxurious.”“They’re yours, dear. Don’t be silly,” Melissa chided me. “I h

Alisha:His barrage of questions and statements caused an uproar around us. I spotted Gerard’s reddened face as I looked around me. He was definitely furious, positively seething.“Alpha Derek,” another Elder’s voice rang clear like the crack of a whip, and silenced the others. He sounded angry. “I will implore you to not disparage the reputation of the Beta. He is not only a respected member of the pack, but a man with close ties to your late father. He would never act in such a way if he wasn’t duly concerned.”I gaped at the Elders that murmured in agreement to the statement.Did they not see it? Gerard’s malicious intent practically oozed from every pore of his!I pursed my lips and looked to the ground. I could hardly contain the anger that I felt.Was this all that Derek had to go through? The Elders clearly had more respect for Gerard than Derek. That was simply not done!I longed to come to hoss étende, to expose Gerard in front of everyone, but I knew that I myself would only

Lila:“That’s none of your business,” i shot back at Derek’s friend. I had hoped no one would come in time to see me confront this bitch. But my plans were foiled once again.I felt like screaming when Benjamin scoffed loudly at me, giving me a scornful look that seemed to say ‘You’re not even worth my time’.“Whether or not your words are none of my business remains to be said. But while I’m at it, for your sake and your father’s sake,” the flash of anger in his eyes was intimidating. “Don’t ever come near Alisha again. She’s the future Luna of this Pack, whether you like it or not.”I let out a growl and stepped forward, only to find a guard quickly move to my side, placing his hand around my arm.“Make sure she gets home safely,” Benjamin ordered the guard, who nodded and began to pull me away.I tried to struggle, whipping around to inflict an injury in the guard, and make him somehow loosen his grip. But he only held on tighter and more firmly.“Let me go!” I screamed at him, cas
