LilaUgh!I stomped back to my home, feeling anger and frustration.Why was he behaving this way towards me?! Me, who loved him like no one else ever could?!I walked on, ignoring all the foolish people that stared as me as I moved past them. They meant nothing to me.Only Derek, the Ampha, could soothe my pains!But he-“…I would never want someone like you…” he had said so coldly to me only a few minutes ago.Damn him!My mind replayed all the numerous ways I had tried to get closer to him. We used to be so close. I had known that I wanted him a long time ago, since we had been young children. But he had always pushed me away every time I mentioned marriage. So I pretended to be a friend to him.And when I had my chance… that summer night of my 16th birthday…We spent our first night together then.Since then things began to go smoothly. Our relationship progressed. Even if Derek always said that it was just sex I had faith that my 18th birthday would reveal to him that I wasn’t jus
Alisha:It was already afternoon and I couldn’t help but let out a yawn. Immediately afterwards I reached for the pitcher of water - that Simon had kept on my desk for when I was thirsty. I was really getting spoiled by him. Maybe this had to do with the fact that he didn’t have a child of his own, but it was from him I felt the support and love of a father.“Hey Alisha,” I looked up as I saw Eric, one of the warriors who had become a regular in the pack clinic by now, walk in. A smile came to my face unwittingly. He was limping, again.“What have you done this time?“ I asked him while immediately turning on the swivel chair to search for his files through the cabinets. Eric had definitely not been taking it easy for someone who was meant to be recuperating. It had only been a few weeks since he landed in the pack clinic among the other warriors who had been attacked by the Silver Claw Pack.Immediately I spoke, he hung his head, looking abashed.“I’m sorry…” he trailed off, before a
DerekShe was thinking about the kiss, I just knew it.It was the look in those eyes of hers, like she was faraway.I wanted to kiss her again, simply for how she looked.But I held myself back, trying to calm down with the thought that this time she may really stay angry at me.“Uh… y-yeah,” she let out in a breathless sigh. “It’s fine… the flowers, I mean.”My lips quirked you into a smirk.“Of course, Alisha. What else did you think I was talking about?“ i asked her knowing she would blush and stammer.And just like I expected, she did so, looking like she wanted to run and hide from sheer embarrassment.The warm feeling in my chest only grew.Was this what love was like, i wondered idly.I had never felt this way before concerning anyone - the need to protect and keep her. Even seeing her laugh with another, no matter how platonic of a relationship she shared with him, was enough to simply drive me insane.There were a lot of changes that had occurred within me now that I had fina
AlishaThough I had my doubt, I had been convinced by Simon to go for the date. In fact he had all but strong armed me into it, guilting me by asking, “What would Derek think when he waits for you and you don’t show?”He had given me that grave look of disappointment when I tried and failed to explain that Derek might not have really cared if I didn’t go for the date. It was hard to say no to Simon, just like it was hard to say not to Melissa and Derek.So here I was, stood in front of him at the forger of the large mansion called his home, dressed as nicely as I could manage with this big belly of mine. And trying so hard to not give in to the bone deep tiredness i felt.“You look amazing, darling,” he said to me and made heat rush to my face, just like always. I was still very unused to receiving compliments from people, much less him.“It’s nothing,” i managed to mumble before clearing my throat. “You look good too.”As he always did, i reckoned. With his dark shirt and jeans that
Alisha:I didn’t stop him this time when he leaned in and kissed me without warning.Everything seemed so perfect and I couldn’t imagine not having this moment with him.Whatever Sebastian had been to me, it was a pathway that led me to my true mate and happiness, to Derek.I laid my head on his shoulder after the kiss, feeling lighthearted, and hummed. There was a pleasant warmth within me as I heard the calm heartbeat of his.“You must be tired,” he enthused, and I felt his hand stroke my head gently. It elicited tingles running down my spine and I relaxed even more, closing my eyes.“Just a little,” I said.“Don’t worry, you can rest for a little bit. You’re carrying our child, after all.”“Children. They are two,” I corrected him. His hands stilled on my head and I frowned, my eyes still shut.“Ah…” he sounded off but I didn’t have the presence of mind to pinpoint what he meant by that. “I see.”Then he resumed his petting of my head and I shivered at the nice feeling. It was so e
Derek:Shit.This was the worst time for Alisha to be near here right now. I turned and could see her floundering, looking caught.“Uh… well-“ she stammered.What do I do?“Alisha, dear,” i heard my mother and saw her walking up behind Alisha.Gerard noticed her as well and I could hear him shift beside me.“Melissa- i mean…” Alisha looked uncomfortable, but relaxed visibly when my mother put an arm on her shoulder.“I’m sorry for stressing you out this morning to come over quickly. I know you have to go to work,” my mother emphasized, giving me a look. And I caught on.“How did the checkup go?” I asked, and Alisha turned to look at me with bewildered eyes. “Well?” I asked her seemingly impatient. “Derek, don’t be rude,” my mother cautioned me, playing along. “She said I was getting better. So don’t be up in arms over it. I’m only grateful she could come over on such short notice to check on me this morning.”It was then I saw Alisha take the hint and she nodded awkwardly.“Right,” s
SebastianWas I dreaming or just fucking cursed?I didn’t know, but in this sea of pleasure there was only one thing that could cure me.“Sebastian,” Alisha moaned underneath me, as I drove my hips to meet hers over and over and over again.Not enough.It wasn’t enough.I growled, pinning her to the bed with one arm while I continued to pound into that warm heat, hearing cries of pain mixed with pleasure. I didn’t care. All I chased was my own completion.It wasn’t easy to reach, but I kept the vision of Alisha in my head while the girl underneath my grip suffered.“Please! Alpha, please..! Stop it!” She cried.The well of pleasure within me still wasn’t enough.I let out a snarl and dug my claws into her, hearing her wail loudly as I sank myself deeply into her, calling out Alisha’s name.Finally!I released the girl after riding out the high, breathing heavily as I stood.The sheen of sweat on my brow was wiped with a towel, and only then did I turn to look at the girl on my bed.Sh
AlishaI worked absentmindedly, waving goodbye to the last patient to leave my desk. And with a sigh, i began to note down the date of the next appointment on the patient’s folder. Even as I did, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.I had never been on a date before last night. When I had been with Sebastian… i had not even been granted the mercy of being recognized as his mate. So it was a new thing to me to be courted, or rather to go on a date and slowly build a relationship. That had been Simon’s advise to me last night, as he implored me to meet with Derek.I usually didn’t want to raise my expectations but… i couldn’t help thinking about how perfect last night was.Dining in the courtyard, under the stars… and then being able to be embraced by him.Even though I didn’t want to give in to Derek due to our past issues, it was becoming harder and harder to stay aloof.He was winning and I liked that he was.“You’ve had a smile on your face since morning, Alisha,” i looked up as I he
