When classes started, I thought I would have more interactions with Derek, but it was the opposite. It felt like Derek was avoiding me throughout the entire time we were in the same room.

A few hours later, classes ended with the dull scrape of chairs against tile and the low, collective sigh of relief that swept through the room. I packed my bag slowly, mind already elsewhere, eyes flicking toward the door even though I knew Derek wouldn’t be there.

He hadn’t looked back at me once after that

    The coach didn’t speak right away. He just stood at the center of the field, hands on his hips, looking at the players as the sun dipped lower, casting long shadows across the grass. Sweat clung to my skin, my muscles still buzzing with leftover energy I hadn’t quite burned off.Derek stood a few feet away from me, helmet tucked under his arm, posture loose but alert, like he was waiting for a verdict he already expected to win.“Alright,” the coach finally said. “Circle up.”We gathered closer.He cleared his throat. “That was… interesting.”A few nervous chuckles rippled through the group.He looked straight at me. “You. Ethan.”My shoulders straightened instinctively. “Yes, sir.”“You’ve got raw ability there kid,” he said. “ You've got speed, balance, and control. You move like you’ve been training longer than you probably have. I'm impressed.”I nodded once. "Thank you, sir."“But,” he continued, turning slightly so his gaze included Derek, “this team already has a captain. And I

    Derek’s grin stayed carved into his face as the coach blew the whistle.“Alright!” the coach barked. “Pairs up. We’re starting with contact drills. I want to see speed, balance, and most importantly, I want to see control.”Control. Of course.The players moved quickly, slapping hands, calling out positions. I stayed where I was, eyes locked on Derek. He rolled his shoulders like he was warming up for a show, not a tryout. When he caught me staring, his grin sharpened.“I want you to remember you specifically asked for this. You want this,” he said quietly, stepping closer. “I won’t go easy on you.”“I’d be insulted if you did,” I replied.A few heads turned. The tension was noticeable now, so thick enough to taste.“Captain,” the coach called. “Take the new kid.”Derek laughed under his breath. “Lucky me.”We moved to the marked area of the field. Grass pressed damp beneath my cleats. I rolled my neck once, breathing slowly and steadily. My wolf stirred excitedly.Bri’s voice cut thr

I packed my bag slowly, mind already elsewhere, eyes flicking toward the door even though I knew Derek wouldn’t be there.He hadn’t looked back at me once after that moment by the lockers, and that alone bothered me more than it should have. Did I make him feel so uncomfortable that he now ignored me, or was it something else? I asked myself.Bri fell into step beside me as we filed into the hallway. The halls buzzed with the noise of lockers slamming, voices overlapping, and footsteps echoing, but my thoughts were focused on a single point.I wouldn't be happy if I left school without another moment with Derek. So I turned to Bri, curious to know more about

  • Alpha's Power Bottom   Chapter 6: Seeing Him Again

    Bright morning. It's a new day. I pulled my backpack over one shoulder and headed for the door, already halfway gone in my head with school sitting heavily in my thoughts, and not because of classes, nor was it because of homework, but because of a pair of blue eyes I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about since yesterday.The front door opened before I could even reach for the handle. Lucas’s car idled at the curb, already waiting for me.Of course he was.I stepped outside as the cool morning air brushed against my face, just enough to stop me from smiling like an idiot. Lucas leaned out of the driver’s seat, one arm draped lazily over the door.“You planning on standing there all day, or are you getting in?” he asked.I rolled my eyes. “Good morning to you too.”I reached for the door—“Ethan!”My mother’s voice cut through.I groaned inwardly and turned just in time to see her rushing out of the house, apron still tied around her waist, hair half-pinned like she’d dropped everyth

    After a few more hours, the meeting ended. The pack began to disperse in small clusters, conversations muted and tense. Wolves who usually lingered now moved quickly. But I remained where I was.My father spoke with the elders, his voice was calm and even, but I could feel the strain beneath it. I watched the way his shoulders never slumped, even as the last witness stepped away.When the hall finally emptied, I turned to leave.“Ethan.”My father's voice stopped me instantly.I paused, then turned back. “Yes, Father?”He gestured subtly to his side. “Wait.”I did.The doors shut behind the last of the pack members. The hall felt cavernous now. It was too large and too quiet. My father stood there for a moment longer, staring at the space where his pack had been, then he turned to me.“How was the first day of school?” he asked. "Is it any different from the other high schools you've been to?"The question caught me off guard.“It was… fine,” I said carefully. “Like the others, father

    I got into the car as Lucas started the engine, and we drove off.Lucas drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting near the gearshift, his posture loose in a way that only looked relaxed. Anyone who didn’t know him would’ve missed the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw flexed every few seconds like he was grinding his teeth down to bone.He didn’t speak, and neither did I.The forest swallowed us quickly once we left town. Trees thickened, shadows stretched, and the road narrowed into something only locals were used to. My wolf stirred as the iron gates came into view, but Lucas didn’t slow down. They opened automatically, sensing us.I swallowed hard.“Lucas,” I said finally.His eyes flicked to me for half a second. “Yes, Ethan. What is it?”“Please,” I added. “Talk to me.”The car hummed beneath us. Tires rolled over gravel. Then he sighed.“You’re old enough now, I guess,” he said slowly. “Your father would’ve had this conversation with you soon anyway.”My hands c
