Pain Before Bliss Ch. 26: Shifting Stance
Derreck remained mum for another brief moment before speaking in a cold, distant tone.“Round up the boys, we go to the Gray Family Mansion this evening. Reach out to father and tell him that his presence is requested; tell him it’s the matter of importance we discussed. He should know what it’s about.”“Yes, sir. I will get that done right away.”Peter let out the breath that he didn’t know he was holding and continued the drive to the office; Derreck closed his eyes softly and his breathing remained even.Once they made their way to the building, they parted ways; Peter went on and did as he was told. It had been a rough 3 ½ months for Derreck, but he knew it was time to let his team know about his identity. He was very shaky about it, however, his Grandfather told him that when the time came, he would be by his side to relay the information to his team. His father stated that he would be there also, when the time was right.~~~Since it was nighttime for her, Denice prepared for he

Snapping out of his shock, he spoke with his mind link to his father.‘Have I really never been this attentive?’Hartley chuckled and mind-linked Derreck back. ‘It’s not your fault son, we have concealed our identity and only those that have been around longer than 5-10 years, have the pleasure of knowing us. These people before you, are your subordinates. They can change at their own free will; just like any wolf. It is true, in the past, I have told you that unless you’re an Alpha, you cannot change into your wolf form, but that’s incorrect.’‘Just like you, they have concealed their identity until the time was proper. In our wolf nature, we have to be sure that others are who they say they are; we can’t risk our identities being known to everyone. It is true, in the past, I have told you that unless you’re an Alpha, you cannot change into your wolf form; however, that isn’t true. You may change on your own free will at any time; the only exception is if you’ve never shifted. It is

The more that Apollo ran, the more he did so aimlessly and carelessly into the plush vegetation. The wind whipped against the fur on his body with every stride he took.Derreck allowed Apollo all of his control while their thoughts crashed and collided with reality. Several of his body guards did their best in keeping up with the young Alpha, while the rest stayed behind and stood guard, ensuring his safety.‘I could be paranoid, but something doesn’t feel right.’‘What do you mean Derreck?’‘I mean, just that. I can’t really put my finger on it, but something isn’t right. Let’s run, but be meticulous about it; shake up the path a little.’Listening to Derreck, Apollo did as he was asked. Though they were unseen and made sure of it, there was someone lurking in the shadows.“Have you found him?” A deep voice sounded, but in a whisper. “Affirmative. Keeping a close watch on him and keeping his trail.”“Very well done. Stay back far enough, so he doesn’t sense or hear you. Wolves have
Pain Before Bliss Ch 29: Tortured
Derreck and Lucian used to be best friends, that is until, Derreck had to take over as CEO/President of Gray Enterprise. Since Derreck took over, he had no time for a real social life; he and Garrett were always close, but they also understood that being a boss, came first.Lucian felt like a failure and in a sense, a third wheel, because his friends were better off. Derreck would always go to the college that Lucian went to, but just to catch the vibe. As time passed, he and Lucian became good friends and he introduced him to Garrett.Lucian was green with envy when he found out who Derreck and Garrett really were. Garrett came from a prominent and well-established family, the Joneses, while Derreck came from the Gray’s. Both families are well-known.They tried keeping in touch with their friend, but being a boss was much more important and it made things complicated.After Lucian left the room, two men came in with a glass chamber. Derreck was unable to tell what it was, but he knew

Henry spat next to Derreck. “I’ll kill you motherfucker!” Henry punched Derreck a few more times in his stomach and face, as he was tied up to the machine. Derreck was slipping further and further away from being conscious. Just before they could begin with their questioning, the door flung open and in came a pack of wolves, of all different colors and sizes. There were screams being heard all around the room for roughly 5 minutes, along with the thudding of bodies hitting the floor, but then it stopped. One of the wolves, who seemed to be in charge, shifted back. “WHERE IS HE?” His voice could be heard. Derreck heard the voice and knew it was familiar, so he allowed himself to succumb to the pain he was feeling, as he was finally out of complete danger. The more he allowed himself to, the more his vision faded. “WHERE IS HE, ASSHOLE?! Don’t make me ask again!” “Hahaha. You’ll never find him!” Lucian spat. “Fine don’t tell me, but you will kneel in pieces!” The man was swift.

Garrett then continued solemnly. “His most problematic areas have been addressed, but as Dr. Johnson stated, he was badly and severely injured, sir. He’s also intubated, so even if he weren’t in critical condition, he still wouldn’t be able to talk. The tube is helping him breathe, due to the collapsing lung. We had to put him on anesthetics and realized it would be best for him to be in a medically induced coma for the time being.”Dr. Johnson picked back up. “The coma is only until we can address all of his concerns. He still has a long way to go and his road to recovery won’t be easy, so he will not have it easy going forward for a while. We’ll get him on the list for a transplant and hope to find a match rather soon; he would have to be under strict observation and he’ll have to have weekly check-ups. Once he comes to and everything is progressing and healing, he would have to undergo physical therapy.”“We recommend talking to him, let him know that you’re here. Any concerns you
Pain Before Bliss Ch. 32: Keeping Secrets
Hartley knew that something was wrong, but he could not help his son, in any way possible. He may have supernatural abilities, but Derreck had to pull through on his own. This was an internal battle between the will to live and succumbing to his injuries.Hartley and Joshua were in the waiting room, sitting on pins and needles. Joshua was angry, frustrated, confused and in pain. The more he thought of Derreck fighting for his life, the more everything within him began shifting.Hartley looked over in Josh’s direction and saw a faint flicker in his eyes. He fixed his gaze and looked more intensely. His eyes widened in shock once he realized the faint flicker that he saw, was not his imagination.He then moved closer to Joshua and began speaking to him in a hushed tone. “Joshua. You have to take control of your emotions and calm down.”Joshua unknowingly let out a slight snarl and looked at his father. There was a thick haze hidden beneath Josh’s greenish-blue eyes. He couldn’t shake th

‘You like to get to the point, I see.’Artemis growled loudly. ‘I don’t have time for this.’ Artemis took a stance that showed she was ready to defend herself and rip this wolf’s throat out. The other wolf was a silvery grey, with stark blue eyes and black paws. He was smaller than she was, so she knew this wasn’t an Alpha wolf. Maybe a Gamma or worse; a rogue. The grey wolf pounced towards Artemis and as he jumped, she slid underneath him and caught his belly with her paw, while grabbing his back paw with her teeth. She flung the wolf away from her and the wolf let out a small yelp. ‘He’s inexperienced Artemis. Keep an eye on him.’She smirked. ‘Gladly. Let’s get this over with.’ She then watched as he came at her again. This time though, he tried to pull off the same stunt that she had, but it was of no use. Denice smirked slightly, knowing that he had exposed himself; she could tell he lacked experience. Artemis swiftly moved her paw to his face while grabbing his throat and fl
