Vivian's POV"Hey, girl, you have been on lockdown," Sandy said as she entered my room."Yeah, I have been stuck with Landon or two other guards," I said, annoyed."You hear about what happened between Samantha and that bitch Rose," She asked. "No, what happened?" I asked"I guess Derek has been fucking Samantha behind Rose's back. Now there is trouble in paradise. They just found out she's pregnant with his baby, and they had a whole barbeque in the backyard.They are supposed to have their Mating Ceremony next weekend, but now I don't know if that will happen," She said, and I just listened to her. Honestly, I didn't care about what was going on with Derek and Rose. I had my own problems that I had to figure out. One of them was Landon and this mate pull that wanted me to believe that he was my mate."You don't seem to care," Sandy said, and I shrugged."Well, the guards are outside the door. So we could have some fun before they decide to disturb us," She said and came over to me
Rose's POV"Are you ready to talk to Derek, sweetie," My mom asked "No," I replied"Sweetie, you can't avoid him forever," My mom said, and I sighed."Mom, if I talk to him now, I know what's going to happen. He will apologize and say that nothing like this will ever happen again, and I will believe him just for the same thing to happen with another female. He is going to have to show me that he is going to fix this before I go back to him. I can't keep letting this happen over and over again. It isn't fair to me," I said"You are right, sweetie, but what will you do? Cancel the Ceremonies that we just told everyone were going to happen?" My mom asked."That's not what I said. I just want him to do something. I am not going to keep fighting his exes or whores or whatever they are," I said"I agree with Rose. She needs to put her foot down now, or this will keep happening. Better to take care of everything now. Show my brother she won't stand for his shit," Kate said, and my mom sighe
Derek's POV"All of you were called to my office because you have all committed the crime of disrespecting my mate and your future, Luna," I said to the she-wolves that sat in front of me.I called for a pack meeting this morning. My father agreed that it was a good idea to give all the females who said anything disrespectful to Rose an example. I had been with a lot of females before meeting Rose. Too many to count, and I needed to ensure they knew that since I met Rose, I am done with my Playboy ways. That is why I called Vivian, Samantha, and Courtney for questioning and trial. They would be punished for trying to break my mate and me apart."Vivian, why did you tell Rose we would be together again?" I asked herShe looked bored, like she didn't want to be there."I was mad that you moved on, but I don't want you anymore and am sorry for causing problems," She said. "What about you, Samantha? Why did you lie and say that we had sex on the three-day trip to the Blue Moon Pack?" I
Rose's POV"I am so happy you decided to talk to me. Yesterday night was hard without you," Derek said We were sitting at the dining room table in our room. "Yeah, it was hard," I said.I was miserable without him last night. I didn't even attend school today because of the pain I was feeling being away from him. I don't understand how my mom and dad stayed survived being away from each other for sixteen years. I couldn't even sleep last night. We were silent for a moment. I didn't know what to say to him. "I guess I will start talking. I have said it many times and will keep saying it until you believe me. I am sorry for everything I did before I met you. I am sorry I didn't wait for you, but I can't change my past. Just know that the moment I saw you, I didn't want anyone else and have not touched anyone else. I want your forgiveness so that we can move on with our life together," He saidI looked at him for a moment, thinking about what he had just told me. I believed that he h
Rose's POV"So, none of you want to try my lasagna?" My mom asked"No," We all said, causing her to pout."I will take some, love," My father said and placed some of the burnt lasagnas on his plate."I guess the mate bond is strong," James said, and Jason and I couldn't help but laugh."Don't be mean to your mother," My dad said"We aren't," James said"You know what, mom, I will take some lasagna," I said, putting a little on my plate."Thank you, Rose," My mom saidI tried some, and it tastes way worse than it looked. I didn't know lasagna was supposed to be crunchy. But, my dad ate it with a smile on his face. "So the Ceremonies are next week. Is there anything that we need to get besides picking the cake and food this weekend," Aunt Lisa asked"No, I think that's it. Rose has her dresses picked out, and we have ours," My mom said"I guess that's it then. Did you send out all the invitations Michael," My mom asked"Yes, most have already RSVP," He said"I can't believe my little g
Rose's POV It has been a week since Derek and I fought, and everything has been going well. My mom, Aunt Lisa, Kate, and I have been preparing everything for the Mating and Alpha/ Luna Ceremonies. Derek has been getting everything ready for us to move into our house, which I am excited about. There have been no more issues with any females since Derek threatened to kick them out of the pack, though some females still glare at me from time to time. As long as they know not to try anything with Derek or start shit with me, I'm not worried about it. Kate, Kayla, and I are shopping for new clothes at the mall. I have been spending most of my time with Derek since we made up, so Kate decided to kidnap me after school so that we could spend some time together. She said Derek was not allowed to come with us. He didn't like that, but he didn't argue. He did, however, make three-pack warriors go with us. He said it was for my protection since, in four days, I would be the Luna of the Pack, a
Vivian's POV "I will befriend her like I was supposed to before we kidnapped her. She is gullible and will believe I am sorry. I will become her friend, and then we will kill her. Killing her will kill Derek, and Jace will be able to take over the pack. Landon will become Beta, and I will be Beta female giving me more power in the pack. I will blame it all on my father, and Jace will banish him." I said to Chloe "What about me?" Chloe asked "Killing Rose will tear her mom apart. Isn't that what you want revenge on her mother? So I kill Rose, and then you kill her mother," "That sounds like a great idea," Chloe said with a smile on her face "I have to go before Landon gets suspicious. I will call you later to discuss this more," I said, and I got into my car. "Where are you?" I heard Landon mind-link me. He was becoming clingy now that I accepted him. I know that he is my mate now that Landon and Jace made me stop drinking the tea my father gave me for years. I can't believe h
Rose's POV"I can't believe that bitch would threaten to kill you," Derek growled"Calm down, Derek," I said"How can you tell me to calm down after everything you told me? Not only is Vivian trying to hurt you, but she has asked Chloe to help. To top it all off, you and Kate followed them into the garage. What if it was a trap, Rose? I would die without you," He said.I knew he was angry. I stood up and went over to him. I sat on his lap, straddling him. He placed his face into my hair. I knew he was smelling my hair, letting my scent calm him,""I am sorry for following her, but if I didn't, we wouldn't know any of this," I said"I am punishing those guards. I specifically told them not to leave you alone," He said"I tricked them, Derek. Please don't punish them," I pleaded"They deserve to get punished, Rose. They are supposed to keep you safe and could have failed if Chloe and Vivian saw you. I knew I should have kicked her out. She is getting banished now," He said, and I sat qu
