DerekI nearly reached for the bottle of whiskey once I entered my study but managed to hold myself back. I couldn’t be like him.I had to face the facts, I thought with a heavy sigh. I sat down at my couch and began to think, clasping my hands in front of me.Seeing her again was like having myself exposed for the world to see. Benjamin must have noticed it and didn’t press anymore than I expected him to. I was certain that even the pack doctor, Doctor Simon, would have noticed it. He was an old man but surely couldn’t be blind to their sort of connection I had with Alisha.She had been skittish and afraid. Just the mere touch of my hand as I tried to help her had made her act like she had an electric shock pass through her. How was I going to be able to reject her when she couldn’t even face me?“Oh goddess, what kind of situation have you put me into?” I murmured, raising my hand to massage my temples. A headache had begun to bloom out of nowhere.I heard the door open.“What’s th
AlishaI woke up earlier this time than usual and began the task of organizing myself for the day. Bringing out a nice blue dress that matched my eyes, I entered the bathroom to shower quickly. The warm water did something nice to calm my body and soothe my muscles. For some reason it became extremely difficult for me to maintain a sleeping position. Maybe I could ask Simon what to do about it?My hand brushed my stomach a couple of times as I washed myself, and I was still as stunned to feel the strangely hard lump on my belly. It was like a small plum shaped thing, growing.I smiled as I finished dressing up and dried my hair with the soft towel. My baby was growing inside of me, and I couldn’t be happier to feel it.Oh goddess, I prayed every morning as I usually did. Let my day be blessed. And protect my unborn child.My task of seeing to the warriors awaited, and I greeted Simon with a smile. He responded my patting me on the back and ruffling my hair. A giggle left my lips as I
AlishaCome on mind! Work fast!“I… I’m under a lot of stress recently,” I breathed out, giving Simon a pleading, wide-eyed look.I couldn’t trust the woman just yet. She may be Derek’s mother but that didn’t mean I could tell her about my pregnancy yet…To my relief, he understood and nodded minutely. Although he didn’t look too happy about it…“Alright then,” Melissa breathed. “I can understand that. Simon mentioned you have being a great help to him for the last month.”I nodded, feeling warmth bloom as the woman gave me a gentle smile. She looked just as caring as Simon…“But I was hoping to get some time to know you. And Derek, you know… he is a busy man but I’m sure he can take some time out to talk with you as well. He is your mate, after all,” she stated.I doubted Derek felt the same way, I wanted to say, but instead kept my mouth shut and nodded. I had to find a way to end this conversation.But she wasn’t finished.“So, I was hoping dear, that you would come to our home. Ma
DerekThe next morning after the report of the patrol members being attacked, I got ready for the day and made my way to the pack clinic. I called a guard to accompany me, as Benjamin had informed me the day before that he wouldn’t be able to come due to his training schedules. He was very dedicated to being an excellent warrior, a trait from him I admired so well.He was the one I would have loved to have by my side, as he was good in spotting details I would have otherwise overlooked. Regardless I understood his duty as a warrior came first before our friendship. Just like my duties as an Alpha.The pack clinic was calmer than it had been the day before and I was glad for it. Some pack members that likely came for their doctor’s appointments saw me and bowed to me in respect and I nodded at them as I passed.Doctor Simon was finishing up with another patient when I reached him. He bowed as he saw me, though I couldn’t help but notice the way he looked so surprised to see me.“Doctor
AlishaSo. That had just happened.I let out a slow exhale as Derek finally let me go and left me standing there by the door of the ward, hidden from the sight of anyone.I didn’t know what to think of everything that he had said but it didn’t really seem threatening to me. Maybe I had been so afraid all for nothing? I shook my head, trying to calm myself down, and entered the wards. The warriors were murmuring amongst themselves and I simply minded my own business.I was too busy thinking about Derek and his mother anyway.About an hour later I found Simon seated behind his desk.“I’m done with the checkup. You can look over the discharge sheets before I send them off,” I offered but he shook his head.“You’re a quick study, dear. No need for me to check. Just drop them at my desk and I’ll hear to them when I do.” I nodded, and hesitated a bit, feeling the need to say something. He noticed. “Is everything alright?”“Um… I think so..?” I tried to gather myself. “I mean, Derek said we
Derek:Evening came and after a lot of work I returned back to my home. I nodded as I walked past the guards who bowed in greeting to me, and entered the house.As Benjamin was on another mission tonight I expected to not have any more encounters with anyone for the day once I entered my bedroom.Instead I felt a hand wrap around my waist as soon as my door was shut behind me. Admittedly I was a little startled but quickly recovered.“Hello, Derek,” Lila’s seductive tones whispered into my ear and it drove me angry.How had she managed to conceal her identity? Or had I been too tired to notice she was in my bedroom?In a split second I ripped her hand away from my waist and pushed her away. As I turned to look at her I noticed she was dressed in practically a red lace lingerie. Ironically I never felt less attracted to her in my life.“What the fuck?!” She shrieked at me, from the rug at the center of my bedroom. She looked affronted that I would lay a hand in her like that. But I wa
AlishaThe next morning luckily seemed to start off well. I didn’t find myself puking my guts out in the bathroom sink that is. It was as if the moon goddess took it upon herself to grant me a book for which I was ever thankful.As I showered, my hand would constantly brush over the small bump my stomach had. And every single time I would feel warmth. Simon had mentioned to me after I had been found to be pregnant, that sometimes pregnant werewolves were able to communicate to their unborn babies and vice verse. So feeling the warmth everytime I focused attention on my smaller baby bump was like an affirmation that things were going so well for me. I was such in a good mood that I even began to whistle as I dried my hair.But then the dreaded moment came. I couldn’t find anything suitable to wear. And just like that the day began to turn sour for me.I discarded the second shirt which I had loved to wear. It was too casual. I frowned at the next dress I put on. Too formal. And I just
DerekHonestly, women!I cursed several times in my head as I stormed out of my home. It was a rare day off and I had to deal with having Alisha in my home, in my space?There was this odd feeling thinking of her gave me, this odd feeling inside me I hated to acknowledge. It was getting stronger by the day, but I couldn’t bring myself to acknowledge it.Perhaps it was because of my lack of finding release the previous night.I growled to myself whilst ignoring pack members who stared confusedly at me as I walked towards my best friend’s place.The night had been going on okay. The girl by my side has been very upfront and we spent a lot of time making out and having her on my lap, fondling those breasts of hers.She had practically shoved her hands in my pants and grasped my manhood as we found ourselves on the bed of the room I had paid for.But then… I had fucking ruined it.It wasn’t my fault. I couldn’t stop thinking of her. That girl…“Alisha,” I called her name before I could st
