SALLY'S POV Sarah and I were still engrossed in our conversation, and we were both celebrating the fact that alpha Derek had asked to look into the matter, when a soft knock was heard on the door I hurriedly went to open it and see for myself who was at the door. "Alpha Derek had asked me to come to you", he started. "He would come to see you soon. It seems like he wants to discuss something important, or better still take you somewhere important because he had asked that you and Sarah get dressed, and wait for him", the messenger informed. "Thank you, I will do as you have said", o replied trying to hide my excitement. He bowed before me and started walking away, I waited for him to go far enough before I closed the door. Gently I turned around and then spread my arms in the air widely and let out a very loud scream. "Yes!" I screamed excitedly. "Did he agree to release them yet?" Sarah asked me as she stood up from the bed and began walking up to me. "Not that, but he has asked
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I woke up rather too late. I had overstressed myself the previous day and had overslept immediately after I got back to my room. Sally had refused my proposal to take her and her, Sarah, and her mom out the previous day. I had ordered that they got released and her mom and the moonlight pack members insisted they wanted to return to their pack house even though I tried to convince them to stay behind so I would take them around and then we would go somewhere to freshen up. But Sally's mom especially wanted to go home, she was adamant about her decision... She was too angry with me to even look at my face and talk about going out with me. She had even tried to convince Sally to go with her, but Sally insisted and said she had already promised to stay here with me. I had tried to convince them and had stayed the whole day in Sally's room, even though they didn't want to, I insisted and organized that my car and guards take them safely to the moonlight pack. I stood
ALPHA DEREK'S POV Investigations started almost immediately, I hired the best investigators to investigate the case and also made sure to place enough security in Sally's ward. Sally's health was getting better. I would visit her daily to check up on her, and the only person I allowed around the ward was my special doctor, Sarah, and my rusted beta. I didn't let anyone else go in or out of the room. I decided to plant spies and CCTV cameras all over the pack house that only I and Sarah were aware of. I would catch up with whoever the culprit was, and I would make sure to deal so dearly with whoever it was that tried to hurt my Sally. I sat beside Sally on the hospital bed, I was looking directly into her pretty peaceful face. She looked beautiful even though she was sick, I was glad that she was getting better, and it gave me so much hope. I held Sally's hands in mine, it was cold and I decided to warm it up. I held it still for a while and played with her fingers. "Where am I?" I
SALLY'S POV "What is the mark on your neck?" Alpha Derek asked Sarah and I looked over at her neck and noticed the scratch there which mind my mind skip a fraction. "This?" She asked pointing to a scar on her neck, it looked more like a scratch. "Yes that", alpha Derek replied, and from the way he sounded, it seemed as if he had something against the scratch on Sarah's neck. "It's a birthmark, it has always been there", Sarah replied and covered the mark on her neck with the upper part of her dress. She was visibly scared and her hands wobbled. "A birthmark?" Alpha Derek asked her. "This is weird, I've never seen a birthmark like this before", he added. "It's a rare one. I do not know much about it either", Sarah replied, something in me knew she was lying and I would find out soon. "I asked the same questions when I first noticed the mark on her neck", I cut in and Sarah turned to look at me surprisingly, I winked at her. I wanted alpha Derek to leave the place so I would talk
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I walked back to my room and tried to close my eyes and sleep for a bit, but each time I closed my eyes I would see Sally crying and calling for help. Sally was being held down by Sarah who was hurting her again. It would be difficult to convince me that Sarah wasn't the one who attacked Sally, I wasn't completely convinced, I just decided to let it slide and return to my room. I had made up my mind to drop the case for Sally's mental health. I wasn't too bothered especially since I have ensured the security around the place was tight and I knew Sarah would not try to hurt Sally in that tight position. But then, every single time I closed my eyes I would see Sally screaming my name and calling for help. Sarah was trying to leave her underwater, she struggled to breathe and would scream my name at the slightest chance she got. I jerked up from my bed, I walked to the bathroom and washed my face and then I headed out of the room to Sally's. She needed my help and I w
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "Lisa?" I called unbelievably. "It has been you all along? How come I was so foolish not to have thought about that ?" I asked. The memory came afresh in my head, the same thing I have been trying so hard to remember and couldn't. On that fateful day, Sally was first attacked, I had crossed parts with Lisa and had noticed the unusual scar on her neck. I wanted to ask her what injured her, but I decided to let it go because I was too busy thinking about how to save Sally to want to draw any distractions to myself. I turned around and unmasked the other woman who lay lifeless on the floor. I was not too shocked to realize it was Lisa's younger sister. I brought out my phone from my pocket and dialed the security number. I also called on the hospital to come over and pick up the woman for treatment. I would deal with Lisa and her sister later, although I wouldn't promise them death. The healing process of the women was slow and steady, even after burning out the p
SALLY'S POV Recovering was difficult for Sarah and it was hurting me because she had sustained the injuries trying to save me. Alpha Derek and I have been trying everything possible to revive Sarah. Alpha Derek was very despaired especially since her ailment was weighing me down seriously and he also was not looking good at all. Alpha Derek came up with an idea, he would use his special power to save Sarah. The idea was nice, but it was risky and it was scary as well. There was a chance he would lose his alpha powers if he tried to use his special powers to heal Sarah. It was risky but we decided to give it a trial, alpha Derek wouldn't do it though if I didn't convince him to. He had responded in a very harsh tone at first when I told him about the idea. He wouldn't risk that for any reason, not even for his mother. Being the alpha of the dark pack was only but a title, it wasn't something so big. I knew it came with a special power and authority and he needed the special pow
SALLY'S POV My heart stopped beating immediately I saw Alpha Derek slump to the floor. The whole pack was in trouble, that I knew for a fact and every single person in the pack would blame me for what happened to alpha Derek. Tears began flowing down freely from my eyes, alpha Derek didn't want to do this and I insisted he did it without caring about the consequences. He sounded as if it was worse than Loodomg his alpha power and I didn't care much about the title and extra powers alphas have. I never expected that alpha Derek would slump after doing what he didn't want to do in the first place. I was scared if anything should happen to Alpha Derek or the dark pack I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Sarah raised a secret alarm and the trusted warriors came into the hospital and carried Alpha Derek to his room while I stayed behind to watch over him. Alpha Derek woke up tired and weak later in the evening. I served him food and water and also massaged him with an ointment.
