SALLY'S POV The council of the elders of the supernatural and night-walking creatures stepped into the chaos. They ordered that the youth leave while they spoke to Alpha Derek alone, and after having a chat with Alpha Derek, they would invite them for a meeting. That was probably when Alpha Derek realized the case was serious. The youths began to leave in twos and groups, while some were hesitant for a while. The elders of the council of the night-walking creatures and supernatural had to insist that they leave. They did leave afterward and the elders of the stencil and night-walking creatures decided to wait for them to leave the place completely before approaching Alpha, Derek. "We have to discuss something very important right now, and we can't do it standing", the eldest among them said. "Let's go to my office", he replied. Alpha Derek took my hand and was about to leave when one of the elders stopped him. "Will she go with us?" He asked. "To discuss crucial matters concer
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "Why do you seem lost?" I asked Sally. She seems withdrawn as if she wasn't listening to me, as if I wasn't even there. "I am sorry. I was just a bit bothered about you", she replied. "What happened at the meeting today? I'm sure you need rest, why not come over to the room so I'll give you a massage?" She asked me. I knew she didn't want me to punish the servants. I wouldn't give her that, at least not today. I was accused of something huge, they had the guts to bring in the letter later, and still had the effrontery to enter my room and pick it up, then trash it. They didn't even bother that I was going to kill them if I found out. I could remember vividly that I had placed the letter neatly on the table for reading later. How come it wasn't there anymore? "I was just accused wrongly of looting money and sending it to my parents abroad, I was accused of being the reason everything became expensive and you expect me to smile over it? Come on. Sally, if I had
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "I did", I heard Sally's voice from behind and turned around to look at her. There was no way it was true, that Sally had thrown away my letter and I was busy blaming my domestic servants. "Did you? Or are you only trying to save them?" I asked Sally. "It's not worth it you know", I said to her. "I did", she replied and it didn't seem like she was lying. "Leave!" I ordered the servants angrily and they hurried away from my presence. "I am sorry", she apologized. "I didn't know that the letter was important to you, I saw it lying on the floor and I thought you were done with it, or it wasn't important anymore, I am truly sorry, I____" "Shush", I said cutting her short. "It was my fault, I didn't place it properly", I replied. "Yet", she was saying but I stopped her. "Yet I blamed everyone else but myself for the missing letter. I am sorry for keeping you under tension, it wasn't my intention to do so. I am sorry for blaming everyone but myself, I am sorry
ALPHA DEREK'S POV The accounting book was brought out, and we decided to go through it together, and truly it had been tampered with. Huge figures have been moved, the weekly supplies to the orphanage and the whole lot have been changed. A whole lot have been looted from the account, and I didn't even know where to begin to search for how the money had disappeared from the account. "How did this happen?" I asked the three of them yet none gave me a reply. "Micheal, I am asking you a simple question, how did this happen?" I asked raising my voice this time. "__ I__ do not have any idea", he stuttered. "Karen?" I turned to my accountant. "I don't know either", she replied. "You?" I asked my secretary. "I have no idea", she replied. I heaved a big sigh. It was funny but it wasn't. The ridiculing amount of money that has been looted, the money that had been stored in the account for years, a whole lot of money that should be used for the benefit of the pack. I have failed the
ALPHA DEREK'S POV The third day had passed, and yet there was no news from the three people I have placed in charge of the accounts. I have been trying to cover up for them. The people and the elders have been asking questions. I was no longer myself, I was getting in and lane, and the issue was killing me gradually. I promised to display the account on a flat screen for the elders to see on the third day, and it was finally here, yet I had nothing ready for them to see when they came. The figures on the rough sheet, the opening balance, the trial balance, and the main figure in the account weren't corresponding in any way. I lay in my room worried, Sally had left the house with Sarah to get a few things for the house. I had insisted that she stayed back and let the servants do their job, but she insisted that she was bored and that she wanted to go with Sarah. I didn't want to argue with her, and I didn't want her to feel as if I was imposing things on her as well, so I decide
SALLY'S POV I woke up feeling a severe headache. I looked around the place, alpha Derek wasn't anywhere in the room, he had probably left for the meeting with the council of elders. I knew he was stressed, and I regret adding to the stress, but I just acted due to the way I was led by my emotions. He had been through a lot the past few days. And although it was evident he was still trying so hard to hide it from me. He didn't want me to know what was going on in his mind, but there was no point hiding it since I already knew from the way he lost weight drastically within the week. I was also hearing small gossip from people about the ongoing in the city of Dell Hall. I sat up on my bed, I was trying hard not to overthink about the issues that had clouded the whole of the pack. I was more annoyed about what had happened today. Everything began playing afresh in my head. Flash Back. Sarah and I walked onto the market, with the pack house domestic servants behind us carrying our b
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "You have failed us Derek, you have failed us as people. We do no want your greetings until you have delivered the the book of accounts, and everything has been restored back to normal", one of the elders said to me. "Yes, we want to see your book of accounts, we want to know what is happening. Why have the foreigners stopped supplying water? Food? Why is there scarcity? No regular electricity? They have not been paid or what?" And another elder asked me. I signaled my assistant and the accountant to come out with the book of accounts and my accountant stood up. She opened her bag and brought out three big book of accounts. She placed it on the table and sat back on her sit. I picked up the book of accounts, my hands were wobbling but I tried to control it. I have never been in this kind of situation my while life. This is really stressing me out, and I couldn't wait for it all to be over. The eldest among the elders took the books from me. Others gathered a
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "Let us leave, and hope that when we return, they will have what we have asked for", elder Simon said to the rest of the elders and they nodded. They all stood up and began walking out of the place while I and my workers acted as though we were glued to the chair. We waited for them to walk far enough before moving from our seats. It was as if Camilla, Karen, and Michael had rehearsed this day before now. The three of them stood up from their seats at the same time and were about to proceed out of the place at the same time. "Stop there you three!" I ordered and the three of them stopped at the same time. "Come back to your seats, we are only done with the first meeting, the second meeting is just about to start", I said. "About to start how? We were not informed about the fact that we have two meetings, and I didn't plan on staying longer than this", Karen complained. "The three of you should get back to your seats right away", I ordered. I wondered at her c
AUTHOR'S POV Sally dressed up quickly and hurried to the sitting room to see who was looking for her. She was shocked to see Hayden seated on the couch together with a strange man. She had come from her new home to see her. She rushed to her and hugged her tightly. "Where have you been Hayden? I've been asking Alpha Lucas about you?" I asked her. "I have been here boo. I got married to a pretty human since the crisis affected my last boyfriend. He died, and I moved on. Here is my husband Churchill, and my daughter Suzanne", she introduced. Sally walked to them, shook hands with Churchill, and hugged the pretty kid. "Hold old are you Suzanne?" Sally asked her. "I am three years old", she replied. "Wow! I found my son a pretty wife", Sally exclaimed and they all laughed. Sally and Hayden had a lot of catching up to do. Hayden talked to Sally about moving into the dark pack house, and they spoke to Alpha Derek about it, he agreethemwholeheartedly and a mansion was prepared for
AMELIA'S POVI found myself alone on the couch when I woke up the next morning, I was comfortably wrapped in warm clothes which I did not remember putting around myself. I thought probably the pimp must have been the one to put the clothes around me. I remembered how he had hugged me last night when he was trying to console me and distract me from all of my thoughts last night. I smiled as I wrapped myself more comfortably in the cloth. I was happy and felt consoled by his presence, even though I did not have any idea when he had gone away. My eyes moved to the clock in the sitting room and I immediately sprang up from the couch. I remembered that today was not just a Monday but also a work day and a school day too. And I had overslept. I stood up from the couch immediately and ran to my children's room to start getting them ready for school. I was surprised when I opened the door and found them already dressed for school, the pimp was there and helping them to pack their bags.
SALLY'S POV The D_day finally came, the day that alpha Derek and I would be joined together including alpha Lucas and Sarah. We performed the rites and moved to our house for eating and drinking. The whole community was in attendance, and Ralia and Stephen who had also gotten married were not left behind. They attended the wedding ceremony and celebrated in our joy with us. I have never been more excited. Things have finally fallen into place, and it was finally time to reveal the secret I have been keeping from alpha Lucas ever since after the war. I waited for the whole wedding to come to an end, and waited for everything to settle, before bringing the issue up. Diamond had been enrolled in the Wizard and dark beings school of Oaks. He was away in school so I decided to use the opportunity to talk to alpha Derek about the little girl Ama who had not grown into an adorable young lady. "I want to talk to you about something Derek", I said to him, drawing what no one knew about, o
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I have made up my mind that I was going back to the pack house, and I wasn't changing it no matter what. Moving to another town wasn't a blessing after all, and it was a good idea as I had thought. When I saw Sally, I thought it was a way fate decided to bring us back together but I was wrong. Nothing good came out of staying in the new environment. My son would have died because of me, but thank goodness I was able to heal him before the issue escalated. I packed my belongings, my private ride was already waiting for me, and I needed to get back to the dark pack before it was late. I had already arranged for my private jet to come to pick me up, and I was ready to fly back and forget I ever visited this place talk more of seeing Sally or any other person. I walked into the open field where my private jet was waiting for me. The security that drove me there helped me pack my stuff inside. I took one last look at the whole of the place before I entered inside. I
SALLY'S POV I sat beside my son at the hospital and tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I knew he wouldn't heal on his own because his powers hadn't manifested yet, and he was still just a baby. I was angry at myself for placing my son through all the trauma I am putting him through. Ralia was crying too while Stephen tried to console me. Her hands were shaking. She had seen Diamond pick up the knife and slice his wrist, and she was unable to stop him, the trauma was making her whole body tremble in fear, as we watched our son lying lifeless with the drip in his hand. "I caused all of this, it was all my fault", I cried. Ralia crawled towards me, she had been lying on the floor and rolling herself, crying her eyes out the whole time. "It, was all my fault Sally, I am so sorry", she pleaded. "No it's not your fault", I replied. Stephen sat beside me and sighed. "Ralia and I discovered we loved each other after I moved into the house. She told me about your situation, that you
SALLY'S POV it's been two weeks since the incident with alpha Derek, and the one with Ralia and Stephen. I locked myself up in my room crying all day, and it wasn't getting any less messy. I was mad at Ralia, I blamed her for everything, including the fact that I had sex with my ex. Images of the hot sex and the way I rode him flooded my head, and I felt very disgusted thinking about it alone. Every single day I cried myself into a stupor. Diamond was oblivious to what was happening, he had no idea I was still in my room, and I trusted Ralia and Stephen to take good care of him, it wasn't news that they loved him so much like he was their son so I left him with them. I heard a noise and different voices from outside, I peeped through my window and saw uniformed men standing outside the house. I wondered what they wanted, and I tried to activate my werewolf ears to hear what was going on. I heard them talking about taking Diamond away, and I sighted Diamond holding firmly onto al
ALPHA DEREK'S POV. "One more shot please", I ordered more bear and they didn't stop serving me. If anyone told me I would ever go back to drinking, I would never believe it. And the thing about drinking over here, there would be no one to stop me. I left the house very early and decided that drinking myself into a stupor was the only solution. I was about to open another bottle when I saw Sally staggering out of the bar. I stood up and rushed to her, I held her from behind and she tried to push me away. "It's me, it's me Derek", I said to her. Although I was drunk, I didn't lose my senses entirely, I still knew where I was, and who was who. "I_ I thought you said you were not Derek?" Sally asked me. "I am sorry, I didn't want us to begin on that foot", I apologized. "No, you said you liked Ralia, everyone does so go be with her", she replied. "Okay let's get you home. You are drunk Sally", I said. "Hahaha, see who is talking", she mocked. "Sally", I called. I carried he
SALLY'S POV To let peace reign, alpha Derek now known as Desmond agreed to marry Ralia, she also pretended to be excited about the news, Diamond asked them to hug each other, and they did, and it all ended there. Alpha Derek spent almost the whole day with us, we had so much fun and I almost forgot our differences. The five years apart from him had changed him so much, and he was now the opposite of his formal self. He knew so much about life and humility, he also knew so much about the human world, how it worked, and about empathy. I was falling in love with alpha Derek even more than ever, but I wasn't ready to reunite with him no matter what. He had hurt me so badly, and the injuries would never heal no matter how hard I tried to make it work. Diamond fell asleep in Alpha Derek's hands, and Ralia and Stephen were still very busy clearing up the kitchen, while I was having a chat with Alpha Derek. The both of us walked together to Diamond's room, and even though Alpha Derek sai
AUTHOR'S POV Alpha Derek saw Diamond walking out of the room with Stephen and Ralia and quickly put on a plain face. "Oh, he already met my real mommy", Diamond said excitedly jumping toward, Sally. The words made Alpha Derek's heart skip a bit. And then it began pounding hard, even more than it did when he had hugged his son. Diamond held his mother's hand and walked towards alpha Derek, while Ralia walked behind still in a state of shock. She counted her steps gently, and she didn't expect that alpha Derek was the guest to appear in their house today. The one Diamond was so crazy about. Blood is thicker than water, she thought. "Meet my real mommy Sally", Diamond said stretching her hands towards his. He stared at her hand for a while, when he noticed the look on Diamond's face, he quickly took Sally's hand. "I am_" "_Desmond", Diamond took the word from his mouth. "Desmond, and Diamond", he added with a smile. Ralia stepped forward and shook alpha Derek as well. "I
