Alpha Derrick's POVI wasn't scared of how high I was in the sky, I have had to jump deeper heights to escape in the past. What I was currently afraid of was what she was going to do with me.I wasn't a match for her, she was far ahead of me, and my wolf abilities and little magic ability were no match for her. She returned her gaze to me, a hint of suspicion written over her face. "Where have you hidden your power?"I shook my head not saying a word, I won't repeat myself, where have you hidden your power?" She screamed this time around."I didn't hide anything, what will it profit me to hide my power?" I replied, staring into her eyes."You might have lived a thousand years on Earth, but hey I have lived hundreds of thousands of years. There are certain things you aren't aware of about power." That statement of hers freaked the hell out of me, I gazed at my shoe and returned the gaze to her, "I ain't lying, I don't have any residue of power within me."She burst into laughter which
Alpha Derrick's POVI stood watching as Trina and her group of rebels fought against their mistress, what intrigued me was the fact that those who weren't part of Trina and her rebels took a few steps back watching the battle going on without intervening.At that point, it dawned on me that no one had their gaze or attention on me, it was a great time to run. I looked around the huge cave where we were looking for an exit, but I saw none."Why won't there be an exit? How on Earth were they able to bring me into here without having to pass through the exit? I muttered while gazing around."They are witches, what were you expecting?" My wolf replied. "Come on, get yourself to the wall, and say some few words, with that, you will be out."I nodded my head and made my way to the wall, immediately I left the two pillars, and it fell to the ground. I looked back shaking my head, probably that was how I could have gone without having to see Sophia or my little prince. I ran to the wall and
Alpha Derrick's POVI turned to see who was speaking, it was a tall slender lady, she was wearing a black shirt and a bum short, making her beautiful straight long legs visible. "What witches are you talking about?""It looks like you don't remember anything, we were present when certain wolves took you to their coven. Truth be told, we concluded that it was all over for you because no one who went in with them returned."She paused and walked towards me, handing over a bottle of beer to me, "We were shocked to see you at the waterfall, no one has made it out of that coven alive."I pretended I was shocked, only if she knew the number of times I had been to the coven. "That means luck was on my side right?" Yeah, she nodded her head, signaling me to drink up. I collected the bottle from her and gulped down a little amount of the beer."It tastes nice, thanks for the beer," I replied, gazing at the sky. I returned my gaze to the lady, "Tell me, what's your name and what's the name of t
Alpha Derrick's POVShe went on and on throughout the night, answering my questions and clearing the air about certain things pertaining to werewolves. "Joy I must admit, you are a smart woman and I like that."She blushed, "Thanks for the compliment Derek, it was nice talking to you, it's time I have my night rest, see you in the morning."I felt bad our discussion was ending, but we still had the next day to discuss, "No problem Joy, thanks for being a great gist partner with great knowledge.""Derek, can you please stop flattering me?" She said and got on her feet, I stood also and we both walked back to the house. This time around the music had died down, but the smell of alcohol filled the air, it was damn strong in the air. "Goodnight Derek, sleep tight," she said when we got to the stairs, "Good night," I replied. I walked back to the room I found myself in a few hours ago. I jumped on the bed feeling a bit relieved, it felt great talking to someone.Since Ethan was gone, I fe
Alpha Derrick's POVI returned to the room after using the towel to dry my body, it felt good crying. Over the years I have heard people saying, men or boys shouldn't cry. I believe that's wickedness, it's an act of making a man a shadow of himself.Everyone goes through hell and shit, the only way we feel relieved at times is mostly when we cry or speak to people. Yet men or boys are termed weak if they cry or speak out about their pains. Whereas it was the best thing to do when you feel burdened.I got into the bed and covered myself with the duvet while laying my head on the soft white pillow, gazing at the beautiful pop that had a drawing of a wolf on it. Reminiscing what Joy said earlier, I feel they were the perfect definition of what a pack should be. The ability to accept each other though with many differences, yet they work together to achieve a common goal.What I found odd was the fact that they had no alpha but just a council of elders, yet they still worked in unity and
Alpha Derrick's POVI remained mute, any word from my lips would result in tears and I didn't want such a thing to happen, but he kept answering. Her thumb traveled to my thumb and she raised my head.Her eyes came into contact with my teary eyes, "You aren't saying a word, your eyes look teary and your face sad, hope you are okay?"I looked away and returned my gaze towards her. I was about to speak when she muttered, "Come on, eat your meal, I will return soon to clear this, maybe we can talk then."I felt relieved, she stood up and walked out of my room seductively, I could feel the bulge in my shorts. I returned my gaze to the tray before me and started devouring the meal.Gosh, it tasted great. The meal excited my taste buds, it felt good. Maybe it's due to my inability to get a good meal? Well, I was grateful to Joy for such a meal.(Four hours later)Joy and I were seated on the wooden bench under the tree we sat on last night. Weirdly, I felt so cool and free with Joy. I felt
Alpha Brandon's POVI sat close to her on the bed gazing at her feet, "Would you stop doing such shit, it makes me feel like I am a burden"."No you aren't a burden to me," I replied, taking my gaze off her leg while I gazed into her eyes, "You don't have to worry about me, I believe I will be fine, and I will walk sooner than I expect. This I believe, I just want you all to trust me and support me and stop the pity treatment. The pity treatment isn't helping out at all."I closed my eyes and exhaled while gazing into her eyes and took hold of her hands, "We are all behind you, you have the full support of the pack. And we will stop the self-pity stuff if you aren't okay with it.""I ain't okay with it, it's not like my legs were cut off, I ain't a cripple, only God knows what would happen if I was a cripple. Well, I appreciate the fact that you all are behind me," she replied with a dry smile on her face.I am damn sure she was trying to hide her pain to make me feel happy and streng
Sophia POV.I sat up in my room thinking about what could possibly be happening to Derrick, the last time we spoke I couldn't tell why he was delayed in communicating where he was. If only he did that, I am dead sure we will be able to locate him.But just when we were almost close to having his exact location, life happened to us, after that communication I felt nothing within us. It seemed like I was wolfless and mateless.The cry of my son jolted me out of my thoughts. I moved to the other side of the bed where his cradle was, picked him up, and returned to the bed. "You miss your Dad, right? I miss him more, I wish he was here, but he isn't and we just have to deal with that. I believe soon, everything will be alright and we will be with him soon, but I don't know when.He stopped crying, staring into my eyes, as if he understood what I was saying, "You look so much like him, you only took a few traits from me, are you aware that's cheating, I had you in me for good nine months, a
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
