Derek's POV "Derek! I'm so sorry about Rose. You must be going through a lot," Vivian said as I entered the room. She approached me and tried to pull me into a hug. It took everything I had not to throw her against the wall. "Yeah, thanks," I said as I stepped away from her. Vivian sat down next to her father again, while Jason, Mark, and I sat on the other side of them. "They said you needed our help finding the Witch they kidnapped," Jacob said, making me angry. "That Witch is my mate," I growled in my Alpha voice. I could tell he was nervous by his expression. "Right, your mate. I'm not sure how I can help you find her because they moved her before we escaped," he said nervously. "Well, I was hoping you two could show us where you were taken. Maybe we can find evidence there," I explained. "Alright, but I don't think anything will be there. They seemed to be using magic to stay hidden," He said "Alright, let's go," I said and stood to leave. "Do you think we
Landon's POVWhy is she acting like I don't exist? I know she feels the bond just as I do. It has to be because of her father. When I realized Vivian was my mate at that party when I was eighteen, I knew I would protect and cherish her for the rest of our lives. She seemed to feel the bond that night just as I did but then ran away. That was the last time I saw her until today.Her father has always wanted her to be with Derek. I remember when Beta Jacob came up to me a few days after I found out Vivian was my mate, and he told me to stay away from her. He said that she was destined to be with Derek. He told me my father would pay if I tried to be with her. I laughed at him because even though my father was Gamma and Jacob was Beta; my father was stronger than him. I knew my father would have no problem winning if they ever fought. Jacob knew that, too, so he threatened the one person I couldn't let get hurt. He threatened his daughter.He had told me that if I showed any bond with
Jacob's POVWhy would Derek want Landon to guard Vivian? I need to keep her away from him. I can't let him ruin everything by trying to claim her. Right now, I am making tea. I took out the potion the witch gave me years ago and put some in one of the cups. I knew I would need to give her extra since Landon and Vivian had come into contact. So I usually gave it to her early morning when she first woke up.Some may think I am a horrible father, but I am trying to get back what my family worked to build. That is the Blue Moon Pack. This is our pack, not Derek's and his father's.Vivian is the only one that can get back what is rightfully ours. She can't be mated to that Gamma. He isn't worthy of her anyway,I nodded to the pack warrior guarding my daughter's door and went inside. I could see that Vivian was deep in thought."What are you thinking about?" I asked her"Nothing," She said, and I knew she was lying"Here, this should make you feel better," I said, handing her the cup of te
"What is that," Landon asked as Vivian took a sip of the tea I had brought her. "It is my dad's special tea," She said "I didn't know you had a special tea, dad. Can I try some?" Jace asked. Vivian was about to give him the cup, but I grabbed it before he could. "That one is cold. I will make you some later," I said Jace looked at me for a moment and then nodded. "I am going to check on your mother; I will see the two of you later," I said to Jace and Vivian. "Alright, dad, bye," Jace said I exited the room with the cup of tea in my hand. Jace's POV "What do you think was in that cup? It couldn't' just be tea," Landon asked through mind-link "I don't know, but I am going to find out," I replied through the link "Hey Sally, I need you to come to Vivian's room and take some of her blood. I want you to check it and see if anything that shouldn't be there is," I mind-linked Sally "Alright, Jace, I will be there shortly," She said, and we cut the link. "Sally is going to com
Rose's POVSally mind-linked me and told me that she is running labs to see if Vivian has wolfsbane in her system," Derek said "Why would she believe she has wolfsbane in her system," My mom asked"She found bruises and whip marks on her back. She believes they are at least a year old," Derek said"Why would someone give her wolfbane?" My dad asked"I don't know. I think Jacob has something to do with it. Jace said she was drinking tea when he walked in and asked for some; Jacob snatched the cup before he could get it." Derek said"I thought they had a good relationship. I guess I was wrong," My dad said"You never know what goes on behind closed doors," My mom said"You ready to go back to our room Rose?" Derek asked, and I noddedI said goodbye to my parents and walked with Derek to our room.Derek grabbed me by the waste as soon as we walked into the room. He placed a kiss on my lips passionately. I had missed his lips on mine. I pulled on his hair to bring his body closer to me.
Rose POV"Could you place this box on the shelf for me, Alpha Derek,""Sure," Derek said"Thank you; you are so strong I need a strong man like you around my house," the English teacher, Ms. Robinson, said flirtatiously. She placed her hand on his shoulder, causing a growl to come from my mouth. Derek instantly moved away from her touch, making me happy."Yeah, if that's it, I will go back over by my mate," Derek said and sat next to me.He has been in every one of my classes as he said he would. Most female teachers have been flirting with him all day, pissing me off. It has been taking a lot for me to control my powers. "Are you ok," Derek asked me as he sat next to me."If another female flirts with you, I think I will lose it," I said"I know my Flower isn't jealous," he said with a playful smile"No, I'm not jealous. I'm just tired of every teacher in their twenties flirting with you," I said, rolling my eyes"Alpha Derek, could you please help me with these two boxes as well?"
Rose's POV"Are you ready to train?" Derek asked me as he drove home from work.Today was going to be the first time I trained with the Pack. I was nervous because I knew they were more experienced than I was. I had only been training with Derek the last month.Grandma Joyce said that she believed that I needed to train with other werewolves because she felt that Derek was going easy on me. I knew she was right because I could tell he would hold back. I told him that it would be a good idea for me to train with the others to learn different moves from others. Derek didn't like the idea, but he agreed as long as he was the trainer. "You know we can go back to it just being me and your training if you don't want to train with the Pack," He said"It's okay. I should train with the Pack, I said and smiled at him.We arrived at the Packhouse and headed to our room."Derek, I need to talk to you. Hi Rose," Landon said"Hello," I said"I will meet with you after Rose, and I get ready," Dere
"I don't care what you or any other slut did with my mate before he knew me. But now I am here, and he is mine. So if you or anyone else even thinks about trying to get with my mate, you will have to deal with me." I said and walked away, leaving Courtney frozen in place as her wolf. "Baby, are you going to let her go," Derek asked as he followed after me "No," I said "Flower, you can't keep her like that," "Why do you care? Do you have feelings for her?" I asked "What? Of course, I don't have feelings for her," "Then it shouldn't matter what happens to any of your whores. You have so many of them. It's hard to believe you were raised knowing about mates," I said "Rose," "I want to be alone for a while," I said and walked off I know that everyone he messed with was before he knew me, but it was crazy how many women he had been with. I felt hurt that he didn't even think what kind of problems it could add for me from him being with so many of them. I just hoped that now t
