All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S ADDICTION: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

A smile touched Derek's lips as he watched his friend, Leo, struggle to keep his eyes off Maya. He was sure that the potion's effects were wearing thin already. Just a little more time. He thought. A little more time before Leo would be able to feel the strong mate pull, and mark his cousin for himself; whilst discarding the bimbo standing beside him. Zoe disgusted him.   "Well, you have to blame Maya for that…" He stated with a wry smile, looking down at Maya whose arms were still locked on in his. Someone who didn't know of them, or who didn't notice the alike deep blue shade of their eyes might have thought that they were couples. They looked and acted like it, well, except for the vivid absence of intimate touches.   "What? How am I to blame for that?" Maya queried, pretending to be aghast and shocked, pretending to find the accusation incorrigible and uncalled for. She already knew what he was going to refer to, any second from then.

Derek spotted Maya in front, and started walking towards her, pushing his way through the crowd, with Leo right behind him, muttering 'excuse me and sorrys' when necessary, until he got to her. "What's going on?" He asked her, looking at the stage. "I don't know. Perhaps he wants to greet his visitors and introduce his son to them." She muttered, while wondering what her father was up to. She couldn't see her mother either. Shouldn't she be here? She thought. "Hmmmm" Derek sighed, turning back a bit to find Leo, right behind him. "I guess we will just have to wait and see." He said, aware of the growing restlessness he was feeling, and the deep dread seated in the pit of his stomach. "Good everyone." Alpha Arnold's voice penetrated throughout the whole one. "Good evening Alpha." The crowd replied.  Well Derek didn't. Neither did Maya

"You will not defy me...Curtis." Alpha Arnold said, and Maya almost scoffed. She wished she could sink her fingers inside his eyes. "Where is mother..." Her brother asked rather, obviously ignoring his order. "In her room." He replied. "And Maya.." Curtis asked. "I don't know where that wimp is. You mustn't tell her of this." He mentioned, pointing his hand at him. "Why?" Curtis inquired. "Just don't. I don't know why she is getting all cozy with Derek. Of course, I had told her to get closer to him and find some answers, but she is deliberating avoiding me. She hasn't even found her mate yet. Useless! She mustn't hear of this. You hear me?" He said, his voice going a pitch higher. "I think so." Curtis replied, with a shrug, which obviously irritated Alpha Arnold. "Are you playing around with me?" He asked, unable to

A sharp pain crossing over Curtis' lower back suddenly, caused him to scream in pain and double over, his knees falling to the ground helplessly. But the wolves advanced towards him tentatively. An easy prey. They must have thought. Then, he closed his eyes, welcoming his fate to die at a young age, when suddenly he heard a loud clash. His eyes jerked open at their own will, even as he laid sprawled on the floor in pain, grunting and writhing, wishing there was a way, a spell even, to do away with the pain instantly. He saw a very big black wolf, fighting with the two black-brown wolves. He had thought that the former wolves that had wanted to attack him were big, but now, compared to the big black one, he thought that they were a bit small. He was sure that the big black wolf was an Alpha wolf, or perhaps a beta. No, Alpha. He finally concluded. Was it his father? He thought, as

"Who is Maru?" Curtis asked Derek suddenly, after they have walked for sometime in silence, still in the forest.  The only words that had floated between them, had been when the latter had suggested that they walk, instead of shifting into their wolf versions, since the pack wasn't that far away. He had a feeling that the main reason had been because of him. His cousin was looking out for him, knowing that he was slightly sore from the first shift, and might not be ready for a second one within a short span of time. And for that, he was grateful. "Maru is my wolf." Derek replied, a slight frown appearing on his face. Curtis was sure he was communicating with the Maru, the big black Wolf. "He is very big." Curtis mumbled, unconsciously voicing out his thoughts, which made Derek smile in pride. "Yes, he is." He concurred, startling Curtis a bit. The latter hadn't known that he
