Derrick's POV I woke up to see Sophia lying peacefully beside me. I had been so embarrassed from last night that I faked being asleep just so everything would be normal. I floated on my feet and lightly stepped into the closet as I took some clothes out. I changed into them and grabbed a jacket. I had to get ready for the full moon that was coming. If I was lucky enough, I could use my powers to heal Sophia too. As I stepped out of my castle, I found my maids chit-chatting. As usual, when they saw me, they all stopped and bowed. "Make sure she's comfortable. I'll be gone for a few minutes. If you give her a reason to be upset, you won't like me", I threw them a malicious stare and descended the stairs. Till I walked away, everyone was dead quiet. I came to a door and looked back at them. They were all still there. "Get back to work!". Outside, a gush of cold breeze brushed across my face. I closed my eyes for a few seconds to enjoy the morning and the benefits that came with i
Sophia's POV.I found it very disturbing that Derrick had given me a bead and a key. He was very specific. Do not lose them. I was not sure what it was for and when I asked him, he kept saying everything would reveal itself in time, that I needed to be patient. It worried me a lot."Why won't you tell me?". I asked."It is best if you do not know. That way, you would be safe". He gave me a cheerful smile before he left.He took his bags out of the closet and told me he was going to see me the day after."Where would I be? Where would you be going?" I shot at him before he could reach the door."That's not important. Make sure you can stay wherever you want but tomorrow, come back to my room and try hiding in my closet. It's the best option for you". His voice echoed through the room before he disappeared behind the door. I followed him immediately as I watched him walk out of the door. He turned to have one last look at me and then mouthed 'Stay safe'. The maids bowed as they watche
Derrick's POV Before I hung up on Sophia, the last thing I heard was a sigh. She was scared about what was going to happen today and I couldn't blame her. It was hard to control and even harder to explain. I threw my cell phone in the corner and walked in deeper into the cave. The full moon was out which meant that any moment from now, I was going to become what I most feared. I could feel my blood rising as I sat down on the stone at the corner. The cave was dark, just like my soul. "It's coming". My vision blurred, my hands began to shake and my beating heart raced against my chest. I could feel myself changing. I took deep breaths to calm myself but the more I took them, the more chaotic I felt inside of me. As usual, I was soon getting used to it. My head shot upward and immediately, my eyes turned a bright red color as my iris darkened. I felt my fur rolling throb out of my skin and the sharpness that came with the claws that pierced through my skin. My fangs emerged, el
Derrick's POVI gritted my teeth at the sight of someone sliding the tent open. Luckily, my focus moved from the baby to my new hunt. I sneered and then stepped forward."There's a werewolf here! There's a werewolf!! Everyone hide!", Whoever it was fast enough to notice me. Quickly, she ran out and announced it to the others.I jumped out too and chased after her, running fast enough to be at the tip of her heel. I was a good runner.I heard her scream when I sank my teeth into her ankle and slowly dragged her backward. She fought me with all her might but I conquered her at the end. "I beg you, please don't!", She whispered with tears rolling down her eyes. As if that had ever worked on any of my victims. I didn't care as I drew in a deep breath of her fresh blood and scent and bit my way into her face. "Over here!", Mire people ran in my direction with guns and knives. I could see they were ready to kill me. Usually, one would back down, but not this furry beast that had been cont
Sophia's POV. I opened my eyes to see Derrick seated by my side. He had lowered his head on my arm and I could feel his hands interlocked on mine. I tried to move but I felt a sharp pain in my side."Ugh", I moaned.The sound of my voice woke Derrick up. He raised his head gently and stared at me with sleepy eyes. I glanced at the window to see it was bright. It was morning."Are you alright?"He rubbed on my palm. I nodded. "Are you sure? Do you feel anything at all?"."Well, Besides the sharp pain in my side, I don't think I'm having much of an issue".He sighed, "Thank goodness". The worry on his face changed into a more relaxed look. The same face he always had. "It's good to see you're back. You passed out for a day or two".A maid burst through the door with a tray filled with medicine and a bowl of soup. It was steaming hot and had a spoon beside it."Here is the soup you need to take, Miss Sophia, and the medicine as recommended by the healers", she dragged a table over my be
Sophia's POV"What the hell?", I raised a questioning brow at him. "What did you just say?".His eyes were directly focused on the maid with me. He looked annoyed at her but didn't say anything while I was there, rather, he dragged me by the arm. "Let's go".All forms of my silly resistance met with his strength as carried me off like I was a paper. In the twinkle of an eye, I was standing before his door, hanging over his shoulder with my hair falling over my face and my arms and legs kicking him as hard as I could. "What is wrong with you?". I fought him with my little strength. He unlocked the door, got inside, and entered. He dropped me slowly over the bed and asked me to sit still."For someone who has been wounded, you have so much strength, where do you get that from?", He finally knelt before me. He locked eyes with me and curled his lips into a smile. "Just how strong are you?".I was meant to throw a befitting tantrum for the way he had just dragged me away from finding out
Sophia’s POVHe kissed my neck and moaned as he pulled out of me. It felt like a pipe being dragged out of my core. I hissed in pain as this was going to be my first time.“I’m coming”, he groaned as I watched him shake feverishly. His eyes caught mine and I watched him turn away. They said a man is at his weakest when he is about to ejaculate and I could see it.“Are you alright?”I threw the bed cover over myself and tried to touch him.“Leave!!!”, he slapped my wrist off and glared at me. A ball of fire shone brightly in his eyes. I hushed back, and my heart raced. Never had I seen him that aggressive. I ran from the bed to the corner, the bed cover following me around like a wedding gown. As soon as my back touched the wall, I slid down and folded my legs in.The corner of my eyes still watched Derrick. I could see him panting. It went on for about a minute more before he calmed down. He turned and our eyes both met. “I’m sorry”.I tore my eyes away and pressed them shut. I heard
Derrick's POV.Her eyes twinkled, just like the first time I had met her. Her lips curved into a smile as she leaned forward, expecting a kiss. "What was it you wanted to ask me?".Hearing that made my senses come back to me. I thought of what I had wanted to ask her and immediately, it clicked."I was thinking of asking you to be my—I stopped myself halfway. I had to rethink this."Mate?", She raised her eyebrow to the question. I shook my head. She scoffed, "Then what?"."Girlfriend? Or lover?". She pulled closer.I still shook my head. This was not supposed to be the way we should have been acting. I was not meant to be this free with her.I pulled away from my bed and then got up. I walked to the window to have a look at the woods my balcony was standing over. A cold wind gushed through my ears. I needed to think better and not be carried away by emotions."Is something wrong?", She came up from behind me, wanting to hug me when I slid through and avoiding our bodies from meetin
The journey was long and arduous, each step bringing them closer to their destination and Derrick felt a sense of purpose driving him forward all through. A determination to bring an end to the man that had plagued their pack for far too long.As they neared Victor's hideout, Derrick could feel the tension mounting. But he pushed aside his fears, focusing instead on the task at hand as they prepared to face whatever awaited them.His men waited behind while a handful of them followed the prisoner. Finally, they reached their destination, a discarded building hidden deep within the forest, its walls cloaked in shadows as if hiding secrets of their own. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest as he surveyed the scene before him. His senses were on high alert as he realized he never could have expected Victor to use a place like this.The prisoner led them inside, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as they moved deeper into the darkness. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest a
Derrick leaned forward, his eyes locked onto the prisoner's face, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Where is Victor?" he demanded, his voice edged with urgency. "And who were you running from?"The man took a deep breath, his gaze flickering between Derrick and Brandon as he weighed his words carefully. "It's a complicated matter, Alpha Derrick. You see, we were about to leave for battle," he began, his voice low and hesitant. "But when we went to check on Alpha Victor, he wasn't there. I went to call him from his hideout, and when I arrived, I saw him... I saw him with his fingers on the floor, chanting words."A shiver ran down Derrick's spine at the man's words, a cold knot of dread forming in the pit of his stomach. Whatever Victor was up to, it was clear that it was something far more sinister than they had anticipated."And who were you running from?" Derrick pressed his voice tight with apprehension.The man swallowed hard, his eyes darting nervously around the room before
Back at the pack house, Derrick wasted no time in implementing his plan. As his men corralled and subdued Victor's fleeing warriors, he issued orders with precision and authority."Detain them all," he commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos of the captured men being brought in. "Lock them up tight. We need to find out what's going on."His soldiers moved swiftly, their movements coordinated and efficient as they ushered the prisoners into makeshift holding cells, their hands bound securely behind their backs.Once they were all secured, Derrick made his way to the cells, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as he approached the captives. His eyes scanned the faces of the defeated men, searching for any sign of weakness or defiance."Who's in charge here?" Derrick demanded, his voice cold and authoritative as he addressed the group.A tense silence hung in the air for a moment before a man stepped forward, his demeanor defiant despite his predicament. "I am," he replied,
It's been several weeks since Derrick was able to escape the attack, reuniting him with his Sophia and son, Tate. But they knew they couldn't rest. Alpha Victor was still out there, plotting goddess knows what. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape as Sophia stood in the fading light, her hands clasped tightly in prayer. The soft rustle of the wind through the trees was the only sound, mingling with the murmured words of her entreaty to whatever higher power might be listening."Please, let him come back to us. Keep him safe, watch over him," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and hope. "Guide his steps, shield him from harm, and bring him home victorious."Tears glistened in her eyes as she finished her prayer, a silent plea hanging in the air as she gazed out into the distance, willing her words to reach her husband wherever he may be.Behind her, Derrick emerged from the dressing area, his eyes tender as he watched
Sophia's POVSomehow I felt Brandon was part of the people admitted, I went with Brandon and we walked into the ward where the two strangers were kept.My gaze traveled to the bed and there he was seated beside a lady on the bed, "Derrick," I muttered. Immediately he stood up and ran towards Brandon, they did a handshake, which I have only seen Brandon do with Alpha Caleb."Welcome Alpha Brandon," he said and I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears, Brandon is an alpha? He stood gazing at me, we kept mute staring at each other with tears rolling down his eyes and mine.We moved at the same time and we hugged each other, it was so priceless. This is a moment I have been longing for over the past months, to be in his embrace. We hugged for a few minutes, as he ran his hands through my hair, while he patted me on my back."I have missed you, my love," he muttered as he sobbed."I have missed you also, what took you so long?" I asked sobbing, we disengaged from the hug staring at each o
Alpha Brandon's POVA few meters from Alpha Victor's pack, Wisdom asked that I bring the car to a stop, I did while waiting for his next instructions."We won't be allowed to get in because we aren't part of the pack, we need another means to get in," Wisdom said as he took off his seatbelt.I did the same and we came out of the car, "Come with me, keep your eyes open and your ears open."Caleb and I nodded our heads as we walked with him along a bushy path, it was a long walk, but the distance wasn't the problem. What we had our mind fixed on was how we were going to get her out of the dungeon he kept her.As we moved, we stopped right at the front of a rock, which seemed like the end of the road. "Where are we heading to?" Caleb asked, breathing heavily."Inside the rock, it leads straight to the basement," he muttered and we were both shocked.I had to look at the rock again, "How do we get in, there's no opening anywhere and how sure are you about this?""I am fucking sure because
Alpha Brandon's POV(Two Days Later)We were all seated in my office as we awaited the spy, I glanced at my wristwatch, "John, it's been two hours, and he hasn't shown up.""Be patient man, he will be here soon," John replied, and just then the door opened and a short dark dark-skinned man walked in and walked straight to John. They both shook hands, John stood up and cleared his throat, gazing at me, "Alpha Brandon, please meet my trusted spy, I call him Wisdom.""Wisdom meet Alpha Brandon," I stood up and we both shook hands, "You are welcome Wisdom.""Thank you, sir, it's an opportunity to meet you, can we please go ahead?" He asked and I nodded my head, "Hold on, hold on, don't be too fast, won't you get to know who the rest are? John asked.Wisdom exhaled, "Go on boss, I am listening." John pointed to Alpha Caleb, "That's Alpha Caleb, you know the name of his pack right?" Wisdom nodded his head."That's Sophia, Alpha Brandon's sister, and seated beside her is Sandra, Alpha Brando
Alpha Brandon's POVAlpha Caleb started chuckling, "I have an idea, though it doesn't look great, but it will surely be of help.""Spill it, I am listening," I said and sat up, he nodded his head, and also sat up, "Right now we don't have a lot of information and we just can't act like that. How about we send a spy to get information for us?"John sat up, clapping his hands, "Exactly, that was the same idea that came across my mind, why don't we get someone to penetrate the pack? The job of this individual will be to send us vital information not about the pack, but about Alpha Victor, his movements, where he goes to, and the rest."I kept quiet as I pondered on what they just said, "Do you guys think this is the best thing to do?"They nodded their heads, "It's the best thing to do, we can't act without information. We need information to act, don't you think?" Sandra asked."Yeah, we need information to act, I believe, now the big question is who is going to be the spy. It can't be
Alpha Brandon's POVOur gaze was fixed on Alpha Caleb as he wrote down the name of the Alpha, he wrote on the board Alpha Victor."What?" Sophia gasped looking shocked, "What is it? Do you know him?" She clung to her neck, breathing hard as she nodded her head."Who's he, talk to me," I said as I moved towards her. From the way she responds, I feel there's something tragic about that name, the only way I can find out is by getting her to talk about it."He is the alpha of our pack, not only that he is our stepfather," she whispered looking scared, "Our stepfather? You mean the man that Mum married after Dad's death?"She nodded her head, "That man is evil, he's an evil brother. He is evil.""Evil, what do you mean, talk to me, how's he evil?" We all turned towards her."He was the one who offered me to Alpha Caleb, and when Alpha Caleb rejected me, he sold me to Alpha Derrick. Not only that he mistreated me during my stay with him, he maltreated me, he also did the same with Mum," she
