WORRIED DEREK
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The atmosphere stilled, a stark tension brewed, as Derek's eyes found Emma, and of course the professor whom he had heard so much about from Ava, Claire, and then Louis, the son of the beta of Wind Winders Pack. He didn't know which one grated on his nerves; the fact that the professor had been too close to Emma since today, was actually still close to her even as they approached them, or the fact that he was a creature of the night, a vampire.
For fudges sake, he was only out for less than two days, and already she has managed to attract to herself another supernatural, just when he had thought that it was just witches and phanthoms. Oh, good now. He mused. He just used fudge in a sentence. Seems his little witch was already rubbing off on him. And why not? She is his mate for fudge's sake! Not some friend for some professor. He wondered on what his parents would think of this. His mate seemed to have a knack for brewing trouble for herself. A vampire??

"Derek!" "Maya!" "Shane yo!" "Clemrific.." Derek heard Emma call them one after the other, and sighed, aware of the giddy motion of his wolf, despite their earlier resolution, and the warnings of his beta and gamma. This wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. "Don't you go kissy on her, Derek, or I will kick your shin for putting our future Luna in trouble." Of course, that was Shane speaking through their mind link, ever the humorous specie. "Remember, treat her like she is a fling, no possessiveness, and then, of course, none of that puppy eye stuff for god's sake." His beta, Clem, mentioned, and he rolled his eyes. On a normal day, he would have tagged them jealous of his mateship, but not today. Today was not a normal day. Today, they had a vampire in their midst. He knew that if his cousin could mind link with him, she would have sent her own batch of warnings. She couldn't. Perhaps t
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION DON'T BE HARD ON YOUR FRIEND
"I missed you, so much." Emma rasped out, as she unwound her arms from around Derek's neck.She stared at him intensely, noting that his eyes had gotten a shade darker than usual. She knew that he wanted her. So, why had he stiffened when she had hugged him at first, and that was apart from the fact that she had been the one to initiate the hug, after watching in hurt as he had tried to act aloof in her presence.For a moment, she had panicked, thinking that he might have gotten a new girlfriend during his short time out, or had fallen out of love with her, because of an experience, he perhaps had had during the travel. But she had thickened up, choosing to check it out, even if the result might depress her, rather than sitting it out and assuming. And so, she had thrown caution into the wind, not minding the fact that her history professor had stood there watching, by hugging him, knowing that her Derek wouldn't be able to resist her. But w
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION LAME INTRODUCTIONS
What had really happened in that off moment of compulsion? Maya thought, staring heatedly at the professor, who seemed to be more focused on her cousin. She only hoped that Emma would trust her enough to tell her about it, when they both would settle in and talk this night, while also prepping for the quiz she had heard about from Ava. Shifting her gaze back to her best friend, she saw that the redhead was staring at her, obviously expecting her to take the lead first in welcoming the history professor, a vampire. The thought gave her the chills. But on a second thought, she agreed that they should be welcoming the professor, not because that they wanted to, but so as not to trigger the human's inquisitive nature. Although, she believed that it was too late already. She could see the human looking all curious at them all, hands no longer at akimbo, but now crossed under her chest. They would have a string of questi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION WE CAN'T SEND HER AWAY
Melvina and Alpha Peter sat still and stiff on the two big chairs which were on a higher level than the big and long rectangular table and the rest of the chairs in the large room, as they listened with rapt attention to the recounting of the day's events by Derek, the day's events which had revolved around Emma. On the other smaller, but still big chairs, were Maya, Anthony, Shane and Clem. They were all in the conference room, since it had a sound proof system. Alpha Peter had allowed the non-family members because they were already aware of the whole thing, although he had made them swear an oath of secrecy, especially Clem who seemed to have a lot of family members; Shane was an only child.One by one, they shared their own details about what they had seen and heard, and what they perceived all these could mean."So, what are we going to do about the human?" Alpha Peter asked, looking at each one of them in the room with clear eyes, leav
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION LIFEMATE
He had just fed from the third person in a row. He was satisfied now. He could feel his system humming with satisfaction and pleasure. It had always been easy to hunt, or more appropriately feed off from a human, but he hadn't felt this great in along time. He knew it was because of the redhead. Although, some humans offered themselves up as a feeding liter, some for the highness that accompanies it, and some for the money; it still didn't compare to when you compel and feed. You just have to make sure that you don't kill while feeding, unless it would guarantee you a free entry to being a creature of the dead. They thought he was a vampire?? He scoffed. He would never be that. The creature of the dead was something heinous he hoped that he would never be. He didn't want to be hunted by his own people. Vampires were leachy ugly creatures with no redemption at all. Of course, the undead had been once like them, but the former hadn't been able to curtail their thirst for blood, and ha
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION THOUGHTS-FULL NIGHT
Emma sat cross-legged on her bed; her right hand placed underneath her chin as she let her thoughts consume her. She had been waiting for Maya and Derek, so that they could work the assignment and read for the quiz tomorrow, but all her waiting had been in vain. She had even updated her notes from the texts Ava sent to her on skype, but still the two Triggers were no where to be found in her room. The meeting must be taking so long. She thought, knowing that she would be one of their topics in the conference room; the strange girl that seemed to attract a lot of attention from weird gifted people.When Professor Perkins had left them in the general entrance, and had gone to wherever he had mentioned he had to be, the other three had turned to her, their eye brows piqued up, an act that said clearly; 'like seriously?'"Like it is my fault…" She muttered, bringing her history notebook to read, and the prescribed text.Her heart had just gone out to the professor because she had thought
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION A BIG BIRD
In the large oak tree across the yard from her window, a bird flapped its wings, drawing her attention. She had just gotten off from the phone with the Freda girl whom she had told to inform her sister about her call; and had decided to take a look out outside her window. The bird had a round facial disk with a very pronounced ruff. It wasn't an owl but it was large. Very large. The unusual bird could easily weigh at least twenty pounds. She stared at it, and it stared right back. She could see its eyes, round and shiny black. She had never seen a one like this. If she didn't know better, she would think it was a harpy eagle. Emma leaned all the way out of the window sill, concentrating on the bird. She watched it closely as she tuned her mind to the path of the raptor. The beak was wicked looking, curved and sharp, the talons enormous where they curled around the thick branch of the tree. It had a keen intelligence shining in its eyes. Emma's breath caught in her throat, her heart
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION SEXUAL COMPULSION
It had black eyes! Round, shiny, very intelligent black eyes. Emma stared at it for fully two minutes. That wasn't normal, she was certain. Very slowly, so she wouldn't startle the creature, she backed across the room to her bookshelf. Still looking at the bird, she slid her fingers over the animal books which she had gotten acquainted with yesterday, until she found the one she wanted. It slipped off the shelf into her waiting hand, the pages already turning to the very entry her mind was seeking. Strangely, the bird was observing her just as intently, an intelligence in its gaze as it watched the pages of the book open without her hand. She brought the book in front of her and glanced down to look at the photograph of the harpy eagle. The eyes were round and shining with intelligence, but they were not black. The eyes in the picture were a bright amber with a black pupil. She let out her breath slowly. Something was wrong with her bird. You aren't blind, though, are you? She sent

THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANNABEL’S TRIAL
Emma’s eyes were as active as anything active as she watched the elders slowly walk into the hall reserved for judging cases, like Annabel’s. As she watched them, her feet kept dancing on the floor in a funny unsteady motion; she was unsteady. One, one. Then two, two. Then one two. Once, Amelia had looked at her, with a piqued eyebrow. ‘What is that?’ Her eyes seemed to ask, but Emma had given no answer. What is it? It should be what are they?! When they were hurrying over to the hall, after convincing the guards that they would be around for the trial too, her sister had whispered that the cabin, her parent’s cabin, had been burnt by the master, Slediv. It had brought Emma up short, making her stagger on her feet for two reasons. That Slediv had really traced them, even without her then, and that the cabin was burnt; the loss it meant for her parents. Would they regret helping her then? Prescott didn’t think so. But Emma was still worried about it, just like her mind had tried
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION BAD BLOOD
One week later:Emma had run to the clinic, immediately Adah had burst into her apartment with the news that Annabel and Amelia were awake. Over the couple of days in class, they had bonded over gossip, and training, seeing as the latter was the only one that had been sincerely interested in her. Emma had run with Prescott in her hands, and Adah right behind her. And when she arrived at the room she had frequented daily with prayers, and saw her sister and her friend chatting tiredly, she let out a scream of happiness and hurried over to them. “Amelia! Annabel!” She called gaily, garnering the attention of the two females sitting cross-legged on the same bed. Before they could let out a shout or smile of their own, Emma’s hands were already around them. “Oh my goodness, I am so happy for both of you…” she paused. “but give me a heartache again, and I will skin you both alive..” Annabel and Amelia divulged bouts of laughter, with the nurses. Prescott and Adah weren’t left behind,
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY IV
Caden sighed in relief at his mate’s words, wanting to believe at all costs that the years he had spent with her, that the love they had shared, hadn’t been in vain. He didn’t know what he would have done otherwise. Cry, brood? Neither was acceptable in these times. And so, he wasn’t moved when his son piqued an eyebrow at his mate’s words, or when his daughter’s lips turned up—in disgust or curiosity, he wasn’t sure. But he didn’t care. He just hung on to the thread that his mate was spinning with. “I didn’t cheat on my mate, I’m sure he would have found out if I had done so, considering the mate bond and all that…” There was a pause, where relief sunk its foothold the more in Caden and his children. “So, if that’s what you are thinking, Caden… if that’s what you all are thinking, cut it out. I was surprised too when Claire had met me with the news at first, and I didn’t tell you, Caden, because I wasn’t sure how to explain the phenomena to you. I knew you held the lineage of you
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY III
Chyra didn’t know what Clem was talking about—the end of the world, and all that—but she knew that she was to blame for Claire rejecting her mate considering what she had soaked into her daughter’s mind about the alpha’s family, about how the Luna seat was her birthright. She also knew that she shouldn’t be working with Arnold. But she was too proud to concede to that, to concede to anyone, and so she shrugged her shoulders to Clem’s question. In the next second, she saw why that had been a wrong play on her part. When she saw Clem fume in anger, when she saw Claire glare at her stinkingly, when she saw her mate watch her like she was foolish, she knew that she had made a mistake. It would have been best if she had kept quiet, than giving off that nonchalant attitude. But her pride held her back from apologizing. Why should she apologize for being a mother caring to give her daughter the best? “Mother, are you so daft that…” Clem was saying when his father shouted him down. Caden
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY II
At this point, Clem didn’t know what to think about his sister, Claire. He had thought that their parents had been her motivator to reject Curtis, to follow Curtis up and down, to join the meetings that prince Nathan held with the others, but from the thick astounded silence that dwelled in the room, it could be safe to say that his sister had been acting on her own, without any external influence. He didn’t know what to think of that. He looked at his mother; she looked more shocked out of her shoes and mind than his father, quite expected since the mother and daughter duo were quite close, since his sister had no mind of hers, except put into place by his mother. As much as he was not happy with his twin, he was happy that for once his mother had no part to play in her recent escapades. “What do you mean…Claire?” Caden asked, pushing himself ahead, his elbow resting on his knees. “What do you mean when you say that Curtis is your mate? When did that happen? When did you find out?
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION CLAIRE AND FAMILY
What Claire saw first when she stepped into her father’s room was her parents sitting in the living room, with Clem, their backs hunched, the air filled with pregnant silence, waiting. They were waiting for her. She knew it from the moment she had dropped a note in Clem’s mind that she was on her way home. That he hadn’t bothered with a response, should have been enough to let her know that her twin was still angry with her. But she had held out hope, until she had reached the borders of the pack and he hadn’t been waiting for her. This was very different from the times they had quarrels. She knew, however, that this quarrel was different. She had denied her mate, because of the throne; had gone ahead to push Emma away from the pack; and when Derek still hadn’t chosen her, she had returned to Curtis because he was an Alpha. Would she have returned to him if he wasn’t that? She didn’t know. That was the truth. She didn’t know. She might have gone back to Curtis, even if he wasn’t a
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION ANOTHER MATE FOR CURTIS
At Wind Winders Pack.“Dad, what is this? What was Zoe doing in my room so early in the morning?” Curtis questioned, a second after he rushed into the dining room where his parents were having breakfast. He had slept in obviously, but he didn’t care. Yesterday’s training had been rigorous after all. He darted his eyes between his mother and father; his mother’s widened eyes told him that she had no idea what he was talking about; quite expected since this turn of event hadn’t been part of their plans. Hence, he trained his eyes on his father; the old man just continued eating his breakfast like he hadn’t spoken. Curtis thought of repeating himself, but thought better of it. He walked up to his father, and took away his plate of food; an act that he wouldn’t have been able to try before; an act that might have spelt his death; but considering his father’s few options of allies, he knew that he had a chance to live. And so, when his father glared at him heatedly, he didn’t quake in hi
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION PRESCOTT IS AWAKE
“Hey…how are you feeling?” Emma whispered, touching Prescott’s head softly, as she watched him open his eyes for the second time. The first time, she had screamed and had called for the nurse in charge of his treatment, not minding that Adah was with her. Nothing could have dampened her joy. She had just checked on Annabel and Amelia, who although their vitals were stable, was still asleep, yet out of coma. According to the chief nurse, a week was enough for them to wake up now. Then she had checked on Prescott, and only touching him with fondness had elicited the response of his eyes opening. Emma had been overjoyed. “Prescott, can you hear me?” She asked softly, dragging a seat to herself, whilst Adah watched on, not understanding the communication method of the squirrel and Emma. Like the people in the community, she had never seen a talking animal, or rather an animal that communicates as Emma had painted Prescott to be. Her friend who was in the upper echelons of the community
THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION STARTING CLASSES III
No professor spoke to her, and Emma couldn’t help but wonder why. Had Prince Shiloh ask them to avoid her? Or had professor Brooks’ defeat scared them away from her? Well, if that was the matter, then she believed it was for the greater good. She had no interest in making affiliations after all, so long as they taught her what she wanted to know, and treated her fairly. “So, do you think you can cope?” She heard Adah ask, and turned aside to see her new seat mate. The mischievous glint in the latter’s eyes made her smile, howbeit small. “I believe I can.” She answered, before getting on her feet. She took her bag which Gira had provided that morning and slung the straps across her shoulder. It was time to go home, or rather check on her friends. Classes were done for the day. “Where are you going?” Adah asked her, getting to her feet. As they walked toward the door, a couple of the students swiftly moved, and stood before the door, causing Emma to furrow her eyebrows. But she chose
