Stacey’s POV
.
The three of us grabbed a drink, looking around for our table. I could see Adam watching our every move. I ignored him, keeping my attention on my father and Derek. I had planned to keep Derek close all the time but instead of me doing that, he himself kept me close since we walked in. I liked the feeling of someone doing that to me, even though it was pretending. I still felt wanted.
“Stacey, you should go and greet all the Alpha. In this way, you will get to know a lot of things that are happening around you.”
“Sure, dad.”
After a while,
“It’s good to see you moving on Stacey with someone who really treats you like queen.&
Stacey’s POV.Everything was dark and hazy. I opened my eyes and the first thing I felt was the severe pain in my head. I opened my eyes and saw light peeking through the curtains. I felt cold like I usually do when I wake up in the morning. Normally, an image of Adam popped up in my mind when I woke up, reminding me of my broken heart.This time it was different. This time, the first image that popped up in my head was that of a much more handsome guy. His hazel eyes and his raven black hair. He looked just like a Greek god. His face was perfect. His body...his abs were percent, his muscles were well-toned and his skin flawless.Hold on?‘How do I know so many things in detail?’, I asked myself.
Derek’ POV.I didn’t know why I said that but I needed to make that fact clear. I couldn’t name anything about the incident which happened between us last night but I didn’t want her to feel like I abandoned her.I quickly removed my hand from her cheeks and moved back.“So, this was the reason why you called me here?”, I asked, doubting her intention to call me this urgent.“I…”I chuckled and shook my head. “Your father is mad.”“Mad? But why?”“Well, I was playing with my daughter when I received the ne
Stacey’s POV.“Ace!!”, My best friend, Laila, shouted my name when she saw me entering the packhouse. "Acccceeeee!!", She literally jumped in my arms and hugged me tightly. "I'm so happy to see you after such a long time. I couldn't help myself and waited here to see you, after I came to know that you’re coming here.”, She added in one go without taking a breath.I smiled and hugged her a little tighter than before. Laila was an Omega and that’s the fact that irked Adams a lot whenever I used to hang out with her or she used to visit me. I never observed when all my friends of lower rank started getting apart because of Adams.I was really foolish to let my friends go.“I missed you, Laila”, I whisp
Derek's POV."Come on. All of the guys are there; they will be happy to see you.", Laila said, holding her hand in excitement."It will be good to see everyone.""Though you better watch Lucy around Derek because we all know how big flirt she is, and she won't miss a chance to try to do the same which she did with Adams.""To be frank, I won't mind if she does that because I trust my man.", She said, grabbing my arm with her other hand. I was not sure whether she was pretending or telling the truth because I felt like she meant those words. Or maybe she was an amazing actor. "But she will be getting warned to stay away from him.""Come on, Bet…I mean Derek. We men are going to have fun in that area.", John said in excitement, pulling me away from Stacey."Hey!" Stacey faked her glares for stealing me."Don't worry. We have not invited any strippers." John winked at her before taking me away from her."You haven't partied since our mate's death, isn't it?', Rex asked.'Yeah. I hope I
Stacey’s POV.“What was that?” Laila asked, raising her brow when I returned back to them, holding Lucy’s hand.“What?” I acted innocently, leaving Lucy’s hand and sitting in the place where I was sitting before. Lucy chuckled, wiping her hair. “I went to bring Lucy from there because I wanted to save your mate’s life from you guys; otherwise, you would have might kill them for staring at Lucy’s sexy figure.”, I explained.“Oh! Come on! At least don’t lie in front of us.”, Lucy said, throwing the wet towel at my face. I growled at her for disrespecting me. If she hadn’t been my friend, I would have kicked her ass.“What am I lying about, huh?” I asked, throwing the wet towel back at her.“That you are planning to choose him as your mate.”, Lucy said, shrugging her shoulder.“It’s not like that. Okay!” I muttered and looked at Derek, who was enjoying himself with my friends and my friend’s mate even though he had met them for the first time, unlike Adams, who used to boss around using
Derek's POV.I must admit that she was too good at whatever work she did. I meant the way she handled the smell of burnt food was recommendable; being a werewolf, our sense of smell was too good compared to humans, but whatever magic she did, even I couldn't say that food had been burnt even a little."Damn it! I will surely be going to gain a lot of calories after eating all this.", Lucy commented, eating the foods like a hungry woman."You can eat like a normal human instead of eating everything like an animal that you are.", Laila commented, on which she earned a smack from Stacey for teasing her."Seriously, Ace!! I'm eating this amazing food after decades. I love it.", Owen praised."Really? And what do you think I cook like?" Ruby, his mate, asked, raising her brow. "Were you eating shit until now? Huh?""No, baby. I..I…""You are going to cook at home from now onwards.", She said, pointing her spoon toward him."Please, baby!" he pleaded, but Ruby ignored her. Everyone broke o
Stacey's POV.I didn't know for how long I was awake and looking at the sleeping figure beside me. There were two reasons for staying awake.One, I didn't want him to leave me alone on the bed just like that.And second, the fact that this was the last time we came this close was haunting me.I didn't want this to be LAST.But then, what should it be? Dating?I didn't know whether I was sure that I might need to check my feelings for him. At the same time, did he want to be with me? I wouldn't have this doubt if I wouldn't have been barren. After all, I had everything a man could need."Stop staring, Stacey." I heard him speaking even though his eyes were closed.How couldn't I figure out that he was awake?'That's because you are too busy with your thoughts.', Alicia reminded.I observed him turning his body in another direction, showing me his back. I smiled when an idea came to my mind. I bit my lips as I let my eyes trail his body. I knew he was naked under the sheet. So, I slowl
Derek's POV.I sighed in relief when I finally told her about Scarlett's identity, and she didn't create a hype about it by yelling or screaming that why the hell I was taking care of a baby who has vampire blood in her veins. Well, her reaction was much better than my own parents, who were on the verge of disowning her just because they found out she was drinking blood like a vampire.I recalled everything that happened today from starting to end and smiled like an idiot. Finally, we admitted that we wanted each other. Though we didn't promise anything about the future, but there was a slight hope about it; otherwise, she wouldn't have said about releasing me from my duties as beta, but then I will challenge to which alpha for the duel?'Should I start working on that from now onwards?' I asked Rex, who rolled his eyes.'Don't act like a desperate. Sleep right now. Don't you want to go to the amusement park with Stacey and Scarlett?'"Yeah! I think I should focus my mind on sleeping
