Derek's POV
I picked my mate up bridal style and exited the office. My mother and two others approached me as soon as I entered the hallway.
When they noticed my mate in my arms, the lady asked why her daughter was in my arms. When I told her she had blacked out and I was taking her to the pack doctor, a guy around eighteen tried pulling her from my arms.
"Mine," I yelled at him, ready to beat the crap out of him for trying to steal my mate.
"Give me my sister, and I'll take her." The man grumbled.
I growled at him and mind-linked the pack doctor, Sally, a forty-year-old woman.
I told her what had happened, and she said she'd be there in ten minutes.
"Meet me in my room," I said, and she agreed.
My mother, my mate's mother, and my mate's brother followed me to my room.
I placed her on my bed and sat next to her holding her hand.
I couldn't take my eyes off her and her beauty. I just wanted to go back in time and not fuck those two she-wolves or anyone else. I wish I had waited for her instead of fucking around.
I became aware of a pain in my chest. My father barged into my room and approached my mother.
"Is everything alright?" My father asked
"No, this man is acting strangely and will not leave my little sister alone. Mom, we need to make sure she's all right. She hasn't woken up yet." My mate's annoying brother stated.
"Lisa, we're taking my daughter to the doctor. She has never passed out before." I couldn't help but growl at what her mother said.
"NO, SHE IS MINE!" I yelled.
My mother and father gave me a knowing look.
"Is she your mate?" My father asked. He already knew the answer.
"Yes."
"Oh my, let's take a seat." We have much to discuss with you, Lilly, and Jason." My mother said, and they sat.
Sally, the pack doctor, walked in and began checking on my mate. I told her through mind-link that she had walked in on me having sex.
"She'll be fine, though I'm sure she'll be hurt by how you met. It's going to take a lot of effort to get this fixed, Derek." Sally mind-linked me with nothing but seriousness.
"I know, and I intend to wait as long as it takes for her to forgive and accept me. I can't imagine my life without her." I replied.
Sally assured everyone that she was okay, that she had only been shocked, and that she needed to rest. I was grateful that she didn't tell them about our conversation about what had happened.
If her mother and brother knew the truth, they would hate me. She left after everyone thanked her.
"This has to be a mistake. Mom, how can Rose have a mate? She doesn't have a wolf." Jason asked.
"Rose," I said quietly. It felt so natural coming from my mouth.
Then it occurred to me that my mate was the daughter of my mother's best friend. I never found her because they left when I was too young to realize she was my mate.
"She might get a wolf when she turns 18." Aunt Lil said
"You know I'm a witch, and her father is a werewolf, Derek. She may never have a wolf. She is unaware of the supernatural. I kept it from her and my younger son James because they might never get a wolf. I knew Jason would get one because he's firstborn," Aunt Lil says.
"Why would you keep the supernatural world from them, Lilly? Even if they do not have a wolf, they may gain power from their witch side." Aunt Lil looked down with guilt as my mother spoke.
" Derek, I'm so sorry! I honestly didn't expect her to have a mate or a wolf. Unfortunately, she never showed any signs of having a wolf." Aunt Lil explains.
"Wait! Mom, are we just going to believe him? We don't even know who he is. What if he hurts Rose?" Jason growled
"I would never hurt my mate," I growl, looking him in the eyes. I took a deep breath and continued.
"Look! I realize we haven't seen each other in years, and you don't know me. But I can't live without her. When you meet your mate, you will understand. I will take my time with her as much as she needs. I can't and won't stay away from her, and I don't want us to become enemies. So please give me a chance." I said seriously.
Aunt Lil and Jason exchanged glances before Jason nodded.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance. I will kill you if you hurt my sister." Jason said.
I nodded, not wanting to tell him I had already done so.
Lilly, Jason, and my mother went to find James. He met some other teenagers and was outside. My father and I stayed in my room. He sat in the corner on a chair while I sat beside my mate, holding her hand.
"What really happened, son?" my father asked. I couldn't help but cry when I looked up at him. I told him about how she passed out after walking in on me and the two she-wolves having sex. He sat quietly and listened until I finished.
"Son, that's a lot for a girl to see. It's going to be more difficult than I expected for you to win her heart. She has no idea what werewolves or mates are, and seeing you with two females isn't going to help convince her that you're serious about her. I warned you that messing around with all those females would bite you in the ass."
"I know, Dad. When I noticed her staring at me while I was with those two she-wolves, I felt dirty and disgusted with myself. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to mess with all of them. I only want her, and I only need her father. What should I do? "I asked, hoping he knew the answer.
The only thing you can do, son, is to prove to her that you only want her. Show her how much she means to you, and don't lie about your previous relationships with other women. It's not going to help." I nod in agreement at what he said.
We sat in silence for a while until my mother, Aunt Lil, and Jason returned. Twenty minutes later, I felt my mate's hand move and looked down to see her brown eyes staring into mine.
I feel my mate's hand move and look up to her brown eyes staring into my blue ones. Rose's POV I woke to what felt like electric sparks shooting up my arm. I tried to move my hand but couldn't because something was holding it down. When I looked over at my hand, I noticed a large hand holding it. When I looked up, I saw the most beautiful blue eyes looking back at me with a smile on his face. "How are you feeling, Rose?" the man asked, his voice husky. I couldn't help but shiver when he said my name so smoothly as if my name was made for him to say. "I'm fine," I said. I was doing quite well. For some reason, I felt safe and at ease with him. He had a wonderful scent like pine and rain. It was so relaxing, and I loved the sensation of sparks. Then I remembered walking in on him with those two females, and I felt a pain in my chest and let go of his hand. The pain was not as severe as it had been previously, but it was still there. I couldn't figure out why I was feeling this w
Rose's POV "I would like to apologize for the way we met. I can only imagine what you think of me." Derek says with a frown. "There is no need to apologize. We hardly know each other. It's not like I'm your girlfriend or anything. I mean, it's not like you cheated on me." I said. For some reason, I felt that little pain in my chest from my response, like I was lying to myself. When I looked over at him, he had an expression I didn't understand and looked deep in thought. "Look, I know we just met, but I want you to know that your opinion of me matters a lot," He says. "As I said, you have no reason to apologize to me. You did nothing wrong." I replied. After that, we drove in complete silence to the restaurant. After dinner, Derek said he had to leave for an emergency trip later tonight. He just returned from one and had to go back because something happened. When we returned to the house, I went to my room to relax, but when I walked into my room, It was empty. "I had your th
"Can I please taste you, flower," He asked, and I nodded. " I need you to tell me I can," he said in a raspy voice. "Yes," I said, looking him in his eyes. The next thing I knew, his mouth was on my pussy. As he devoured me, I couldn't help the moans coming out of my mouth. He sucked me from my ass to my pussy. I couldn't help but move with him. Moving my pussy on his face as the pleasure built. His tongue went inside my pussy, and that was when I couldn't take it anymore. "Derek," I screamed out as I came hard. He didn't stop; he kept eating me out until I came again. My eyes closed as I tried to catch my breath. When I opened them, he looked at me with an expression I didn't understand. "MINE," He said, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss. Rose's POV(Three Days Later) It has been three days since my mom, brothers, and I moved here, and everything has been going well. Derek didn't only change my room, but also my mom and brothers moved to bigger rooms as well, though n
While eating, Jason called and told me he was in front of the food court. We all walked out to his car and made our way back home. Once we arrived home, I told them I was going to my room to rest and headed up the stairs. About ten minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I went over to the door and opened it to see Kate. "Hey! Can I come in? There is something I want to talk to you about." She said, and I moved over so she could come in.Kate's POV " What do you think they said to her? Why is Vivian back?" Kayla asked through mind-link while Jason was driving us home. "I don't know, but I can tell you whatever reason she came back is not good." .My brother and Vivian have been friends since childhood. They grew up together and started dating when they were in High School.She's the daughter of my father's Beta, Jacob, and the twin sister of Jace, Derek's best friend, and soon-to-be Beta.Our parents thought Vivian and Derek would become mates when they turned 18. However, when
Derek's POV "I'm happy we get to go home sooner than expected," Jace said. "Me too! But it would have been nice to relax before we left. The unmated she-wolfs at Bluemoon's Pack are very welcoming. '' Landon said. We are in my private jet, on our way home from the Blue Moon pack. All I can think about is seeing my mate. After having the conversation with Kate about what has been happening while I've been away, I am even more ready to get home to my mate. I moved her to the fifth floor. My parents fixed it up when I turned 18. It was a gift for me when I found my mate. It is like our own apartment with everything we need: a family room, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a kitchen. When I didn't find her, I couldn't go up to the room. It was like a sad reminder that I didn't have my soul mate. Now I can't wait to move in with her. I hope she wants me there too. "Here is your drink Alpha Derek," Samantha, the flight attendant, says. " Thank you, Samantha," I said while taking a s
Rose's POV I woke up feeling better than I ever have. That was the best sleep I've had in my life. Cuddling more to my pillow, I felt arms wrap around me. " Wait! Pillows don't have arms," I thought to myself I opened my eyes and was faced with beautiful blue eyes of Derek staring back at me. "Good morning, Flower! How did you sleep?" He asked me with a smile on his face. Then, he moved the hair out of my face. " I slept okay," I said, embarrassed by the position we were in at the moment. I knew my cheeks had to be the color of a tomato. We stared at each other for a while, neither of us speaking. The sound of a phone broke the awkward silence. Derek said something under his breath in annoyance before sitting up and picking his phone off the floor. "Yes," he said to the person on the other end. "Okay, I will be there shortly." He put his shirt and pants on before looking at me. "I have something important that I have to take care of. Do you have any plans for today?" "Yes!
Rose's POV "You want to go to the mall or something," Kate asked me. "Yeah, Jason will drop us off," I told her. "Your brother is supposed to take me out to eat at seven. It's already 5:30," "That's great! You two are perfect for each other," We were still sitting outside the school, waiting for Jason. He texted me he was on his way. James was outside with Nathan, planning on hanging out tonight. "Hey, beautiful," I automatically knew who it was. I turned around and couldn't help but stare into his beautiful, blue eyes. "Well, hello to you too, brother," Kate said dramatically. "Sorry, sis, I can't think of anyone else when I'm around the most beautiful woman in the world," He said, staring into My eyes. "You don't have to apologize, bro; I understand." I couldn't help the blush that crept on my face. Derek leaned down and touched my cheek, making me feel the sparks I only get from his touch. "So beautiful," he said. We both stared at each other, lost in the moment, until
Rose's POV "Hi, mom," I said while walking into her room. "Hi baby, how was your date?" " You would really be okay if I dated him?" " Yes, He cares about you; I can see it." "He barely knows me, mom." " I know, but trust me when I say he cares deeply for you." We talked for a minute longer, and then I headed to my room to change before meeting Derek by the pool. I made my way down about twenty minutes later. When I got to the backyard by the pool, I was shocked at what I had seen. Derek and Vivian were kissing. I couldn't take the sight of his lips on hers, and I ran away.I saw my brother Jason walking toward the backyard. "Rose, where are you going? What's wrong?" He asked as I ran past him. I ran until I saw a trail that went to the woods. I went into the woods and started walking until I saw a wooden bench. I sat on the bench, wondering how Derek could kiss another girl right after our date. He even asked me to meet him there. "I should have known better than to fall
