DerekBe calm, Derek, I told myself over and over as I regarded Lila who gazed at me with a gleam in her eyes. She clearly thought I was there to defend her, but I was just barely holding on to my anger.I had only stepped out of the pack for a brief period and yet she had so blatantly sought to verbally abuse my mate?!It was clear to me that she had no grasp on reality if this excuse of a woman thought I would ever come to her defense.I could feel Alisha’s eyes on me as I reached Lila. She had a look on her face filled with pleading before - not for her but for Lila. I didn’t know whether to be angry or proud that Alisha, the one being attacked like so indiscriminately, had wanted to plead the case of someone who didn’t deserve an ounce of mercy.“Derek,” Lila’s whiney voice sounded just as bratty and delusional as usual, if not more so. “I knew you would come to help me! I knew it-““Silence,” I snarled down at her and her immediately showed an expression of shock. “Who the fuck d

Derek:Alisha was a lot relaxed as we walked back home in silence. Meanwhile I couldn’t help but feel like shit still. I should have protected her more, I thought. It seemed that having guards around her as a precaution was barely helpful.Not for the first time since I became Alpha and began to deal with Gerard and Lila in my life, I hated my forced complacency in dealing with the issue. I should have done something more before this problem became something more. Now I had not just Gerard the cunning snake at my neck, but his banshee of a daughter too.Derek? You’ve been silent all this while. Is everything okay?” She sounded so worried for me even now. It made me feel equal parts guilty and protective of her.“I should be the one asking you that, love,” I said to her. “I’m sorry I couldn’t come fast enough.”My words made her smile and lit up her face.“You don’t have to apologize for not being able to control the actions of others,” she pointed out, letting out a small chuckle. “I

Alisha:I sighed softly to myself, mourning the warmth of the evening as I turned on my other side trying to get comfortable enough to sleep.Alas it seemed that I wasn’t going to be able to easily get the rest I needed.I laid awake with my eyes open and ears picking up the sounds of the curtains rustling, the crickets and owls, as well as the rustling of leaves of the trees.I let out another big sigh, before pushing myself up. It took some maneuvering with my large belly but I managed it with a grunt. And I left the bed towards the bathroom to wash my face.Another full moon was coming - the first one since I truly got together with Derek. It was a milestone that was truly worth celebrating. But it made me nervous as well.As the soon to be Luna of the Red Wolf Pack, I would have to do something I had never gotten the chance to before. It was something out of my skill set, or so I thought. And that was to participate in the festivities as much as possible.I returned to bed, burrow

Alisha:Sebastian!His eyes were devilish, filled with maliciousness as he tugged the bundle from my arms, shoving me to the ground.“My children,” i wept as Sebastian held them in his arms, his green eyes glinting as he regarded me.Then all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my belly and looked down.Blood, I managed to process.I was bleeding to death.I woke up gasping for breath at the crack of dawn, having slept for barely half the night.My heart was pounding and the dream stayed in the forefront of my mind as I moved on autopilot, shaking as I got ready for the day, barely paying attention to anything and anyone.I don’t know how I managed to reach the pack clinic then, but I entered and began to call his name out desperately, looking around for any hints of the pack doctor.Eventually I heard footsteps behind me and turned around as he emerged from the stairs, looking like he had just finished getting dressed.“Alisha? It’s quite early,” he remarked. “What-?”“Simon,” I sobbe

Derek:Days later, I arrived at the border early, just like the previous morning.Alpha Nate of the Grey Pack, Alpha Eric of Hilltop Pack and Beta Damon of the Ferron Pack, were already there seated and talking amongst themselves as I stepped into the room the guards had set up at the border.“Good morning, everyone,” i greeted, and all eyes turned to me. “I do hope you all did not have to wait for long.”Alpha Nate responded, being the oldest one out of all of them - already a greying man in his 60s.“Not at all, Alpha Derek.”The others murmured their assent, waiting for me to take my seat.“Now, where did we stop yesterday?” I asked.This meeting was the most important one I had to have. And I had managed to organize it all without Gerard’s knowledge which was a plus. I had been able to swing it, that only the guards I knew for sure were loyal to only me would be able to guard the border while the meeting went on.It was equally important and urgent for me to form allies with many

Alisha’s POV:I smiled wanly at the woman who thanked me profusely, leading her child gently away. He had come in along with two other young pups with broken arms. Apparently they had been playing rough as children were wont to do. I enjoyed this part of working in the clinic - seeing grateful patients leave feeling a lot better made me filled with accomplishment and satisfaction after working.However the satisfaction and accomplishment didn’t happen this time. Instead all I could do was let out a weary sigh and return to jotting down the appointment dates.I knew what I was doing - I was using work as a crutch for the problems in my life. The issues I had wouldn’t go away. So far I had been able to manage and hide the effects of my many nightmares from Derek and Melissa. Derek had been busy these days with a lot of pack duties so it wasn’t hard. Melissa had been the hardest to convince and I had heard from Simon that she had asked numerous questions of him about my well-being.Day a

Derek’s POV:I could see the expression of being caught red handed on Alisha’s face but I didn’t know exactly why.I cocked a brow at her and beckoned her to come over, and silently she did, but not before giving Simon another glance.I definitely didn’t miss the meaning my gaze the pack doctor gave her and that only served to further make me curious.What was going on?As Alisha took my arm, I decided to shelve that thought and impending question for later. It wouldn’t do to make her upset when she has clearly been overworking herself, as my mother had said.“Let’s go,” I said to Alisha, leading her out of the office. Benjamin who had accompanied me here, waited for us at the front doors of the clinic.“Hey,” my best friend addressed Alisha with a soft smile. “You okay?”She nodded, but didn’t say much else as I led her towards the direction of home, Benjamin beside me.While we walked I had the idea that she was definitely hiding something important from me. It wasn’t hard to miss,

Alisha:I couldn’t take the nightmares as well as I thought I would. I was such a weakling, I thought helplessly. I pressed my nose intonDerek’s body to inhale his scent, knowing it would calm me down. I had to take in deep breaths, and the scent of sandalwood and other mixed scents that made me feel a lot better enveloped me.“Are you feeling better now?” I heard him ask and i loosened my grip on him, nodding, my cheeks burning so much.I could feel his eyes on me, as I cleared my throat.“I’m okay,” my voice was hoarse, and I knew I had to have been quite loud if he had heard me and come to wake me up. “I… I’m sorry,” i apologized without thinking.“You have nothing to apologize for, love?” He sighed, as if I had troubled him again. “Do tou want to talk about it? Your nightmare?”His question posed to me sounded innocent enough. Yet I faltered; his voice couldn’t hide the curiosity he felt, and that scared me. I wasn’t yet ready to tell him the truth about who I was dreaming about
