Derek’s POV “I'm sorry for yelling Tania, we just need to know everything about that pack, there's something about rogue attacks beginning from there," Marcel said, He was right though but I wouldn't want my mate being stressed to answer. She's not over what that pack did to her. "Tania, it's fine if you don't want to talk about it" I embraced her softly "Derek she needs to talk" Marcel yelled at me"Regard me with respect!! " I growled, I wouldn't have been concerned, it wouldn't have bothered me at all if it was another issue, but this is regarding my mate. I could feel my wolf livid"I'm sorry Alpha," Marcel said, he realized I was not in control, and let me handle Tania who was lost in thoughts We do need the information from Tania but if she's not willing to we'll have to look for a way around it. I hate seeing my luna in pain, and I wouldn't want to see her that way because of a mere issue I could have possibly avoided The drive was silent, it would be hours be

Derek’s POV The sun's rays reflected into our room, I stood up hurriedly and shut down the windows knowing fully well it would disturb my mate's peaceful sleep. Last night wasn't easy. Closing the windows, I rested my head on the wall as images played clear in my mind. I yelled at her for the first time, what had come over me, I can't seem to know, it wasn't my decision to yell at her. "Derek, your decision all through this day has been irrational, what has come over you, you're not thinking clearly" she had said in her most soothing voice that I usually picked no offense in, but this time was different, I looked at her with annoyance even if she did nothing annoying."How dare you question me! Who the fuck do you think I am? I am an Alpha, the second most powerful in this realm and you dare question my decision." I yelled at her, she looked at me really shocked, she didn't expect me to raise my voice at her. She nodded as if understanding something and was about to walk out on me.

Open pov. Ryan's hands traveled across Tania's cheek, he remembered her, the weak wolf that was rumored to have committed murder. "Where have you been " he queried, raising her head so she looked into his eyes, she didn't look skinny, sad, and retarded as she would always look when the wolves in his pack ordered her around, now she seemed to have grown courage, she was strong now, stronger than he used to remember. "I..i.." Tania stuttered in her speech, she opened her mouth, but words wouldn't come out, she was still scared of him, he still had that demeanor she feared. The stench of wickedness and hatred for her, she felt deeply, even his voice disclosed it. "You stammer now?" He fired, his voice was low, but it was firm, firm enough to make her tremble. "I am alive, " she replies finally, definitely not an answer to his question, but at least she said something. "You have developed a sense of humor, nice " his hands that had been caressing her face grabbe

TANIA'S POV.I could feel the so familiar hotness coursing through my being. I knew I had to suppress the urge.A tribid's wrath wasn't something to behold. But it wasn't my fault, was it?I watched her, as her face crumpled up. She should contemplate all she wanted... That was her business.All I knew was that I wasn't going to hold hostage against my wish. Most important of all, I wasn't going to allow Derek to go away. If he was leaving, I was leaving too. And if the reverse was the case, then I was going to follow him.I breathed hot air through my nostrils and watched her closely.Ryan watched our exchange. However, I knew too well that he was trying to suppress his urge to lash out at me. Say hurtful words to me.The truth about me being a tribrid came so suddenly, that even I was overwhelmed by the weighty consequence of it."Are you sure about your decision? It may affect you. Consider what would happen if you unintentionally hurt the ones around you, as a result of your being

Tania‘s POV His words scared me, but I was too captivated by what he was doing to me to let the fear cripple me. I liked it, his touch on me as he slowly tried to remove my clothes, there on the bed. Is this the lesson he was talking about? We have done this before and it was pleasant and I would give anything to have him make love to him with his tongue again like the other day. But it was not new. This could not be the lesson. “Do you agree to do anything I want?” He asked again, his voice barely a whisper this time, sending dangerous sensations on my neckline. “Yes,” I nodded with it. I wanted to feel his hands and mouth on every part of my body, I craved it. I gave him the affirmation he wanted. And that seemed like all he needed to carry on with what he had in mind. Instead of me being afraid of the way he was looking at me as if he wanted to devour me, I wanted it. My whole body felt alive even with him just looking at me. His hands slowly held me up, so I
