ALPHA DEREK'S POV I thought I had acted too first and took my lips away from her immediately, even though I was enjoying the kiss and it had only lasted for a few seconds I had stopped myself from kissing her immediately. I had made a promise to her that I wouldn't touch her without her parent's blessings, and even though we weren't in our room, just kissing could easily lead to something else. "I am sorry I didn't give you a heads up or ask for your permission first," I apologized to her. "It's fine," she replied shyly and forced a smile. She moved away from me and started walking quickly out of the pack house hospital, and I followed quickly behind her. I didn't want to regret the kiss, but still, I wouldn't have done that. We walked into the room and closed the door. I knew Sally was nervous and shy with me, so I tried not to get in her way, I also avoided talking to her since she wasn't talking to me either. I slept on the couch, letting her sleep alone in bed. Sleeping w
SALLY'S POV Alpha Derek and I locked our hands tightly in one another's, as the driver started the car engine and drove off from the pack house. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, I was nodding my head to the tune of the beat that was coming from the radio, fixed permanently in the car. Alpha Derek caressed my fingers, the same fingers that were tightly locked in his. I began feeling sleepy, but I tried to stay awake in order not to bore him during the journey. I was bothered about what we were going to face in front of us. I was more worried about alpha Derek, I knew my parents would seize the opportunity once again and find something bad to say about him, they would curse him to his face and would use harsh words to him. He wasn't used to any of those, it was a fucking fact, and the fact that he was ready to endure all of those for me. Things would also be difficult for me because we were going to face alpha, Lucas. I still had feelings for him, at least a bit,
SALLY'S POV I turned around abruptly, and Alpha Derek did the same. I expected this. I knew that my mom wouldn't just let Alpha Derek and I leave the pack house like that. She would come after us and stop us from leaving. "Mom," I called emotionally, as I hurried back to catch up with her. She had opened the door, called me back, and stood in front of the door waiting for me. I rushed to her and hugged her passionately. "We can't let him take you away from us," Mom said, still hugging me tightly. "I can't go away from you either," I replied. "Let's go in and talk," Mom urged as she began pulling my hand. "Stop!" I said as I stopped abruptly and turned around to look at Alpha Derek. He was still standing at the spot. "I can't go in without him, I mean, there is no way I am leaving him here, right?" I asked Mom. "I will be uncomfortable with him around me," Mom replied, and I scoffed. "So you are suggesting I go in and just leave him here? Of course, you know that can't happe
SALLY'S POV Alpha Lucas had come with his parents and my dad. Someone must have told them about our coming. That was the reason my dad had gone over to their place and had returned with alpha Lucas and his parents. "Greetings", I bowed in front of them. "Greetings", alpha Derek greeted them as well and sat on his seat. I waited for everyone else in the room to get seated before doing the same. Alpha Derek took my hand in his and locked my fingers tightly in between his own. For some reason, I was tempted to look at alpha Lucas, and his eyes were glued to our locked fingers. I felt nervous, I felt a bit bothered and uncomfortable. I could see the disapproval and anger in alpha Lucas's eyes, we had agreed that forever would be the goal, I had told him that I loved him, yet right in his presence I was locking fingers with another man. "Be confident Sally, you are not doing anything wrong", alpha Derek whispered to me, and I sighed. For a fact, I wasn't really doing anything wrong
SALLY'S POV I turned to look at alpha Derek, he would understand if I decided to choose my parents over him and would keep coming to me. But I wasn't ready to make him go through all of that, plus I love him so much to take such chances with him. "Sally, you are to make your choice today, it's either him or us so choose", father insisted. I stood up to my feet. I stared at Alpha Derek, I moved my eyes to Alpha Lucas, his dad, his mom, my mom, and then my dad. "Family is indeed everything", I said and stared at the expression on everyone's face. The smile must dad had on and the way he nodded proved that he thought I was going to choose him. It wasn't a competition after all there was no need to get all excited or feel so entitled to anything. "In as much as we are fighting to choose family because that is the best thing to do, we should also fight to be with our fated mate. The moon goddess doesn't make any mistakes, she has never, and will never. When she chose me for Dere
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I and Sally walked out of the house, and her whole body vibrated in fear, I knew at once that she was scared and sad at the same time. We walked over to my car and got in. I made her rest her head on my chest, and I began caressing her hair gently. She was still in shock and wouldn't say a word, her whole body still vibrating in fear and shock. "Don't be scared, honey, everything is surely going to be fine", I said to her. "You don't have to get scared, you don't have to be worried honey, everything will fall into place, we will return, we will keep coming until they finally accepted us", I assured her. She lay on my chest as I continued rubbing her calmly. The car zoomed off, I sighed deeply immediately after we drove out of the moonlight pack house. I held Sally even more tightly and cuddled her. As we drove through the bush part I began to notice strange movements around the bush parts. I focused on the side mirror, I began seeing strange movements around the
ALPHA DEREK'S POV Yes, I got stabbed, but y'all don't forget so quickly that I can't die. I held the sword tightly ignoring the blood that was gushing out of my palm. Of course, the sword tore my arm, but it was going to heal after all. I pulled it out of my stomach forcefully and used it on my attacker. I took his head off quickly, it was just an easy task. Seeing the sword pierce my driver angered me so much that I became red in anger, I took another sword and began fighting fiercely using my both hands. I left Sally's back and began venturing into their midst where they all stood and were coming forward to attack bit by bit. And I also didn't forget, the person that had called my name then was my chief warrior, he had arrived with a few other warriors and they joined the battle immediately. Seeing the pace at which we were reducing their numbers they all began to retreat bit by bit. "Don't let them get away, attack and capture them all", I ordered and my warriors began captur
SALLY'S POV My eyes and mouth went agape, my heart sank into my stomach, and I felt a drop of tears escape my left cheek. Alpha Lucas wouldn't do a thing like that, this was probably a setup, and I would never believe Alpha Lucas would act in such a manner no matter how they tried to convince me. I turned to alpha Derek, he stopped at the spot, he also was shocked at the revelation. He had accused Alpha Lucas and it turned out to be true. Surely, he wouldn't spare Alpha Lucas, alpha Lucas would pay dearly for his crimes. I was glued to the spot where I stood, cold shivers ran freely down my spine as I stared into alpha Derek's eyes trying to fathom what was going through his mind. I tried to hide my pain, as much as I was now in love with alpha Derek, I still love alpha Lucas and wouldn't forget so easily the good times we shared. I still saw him as a friend, we would have been married if things didn't turn out the way they did. I took two steps towards alpha Derek, he tur
