Her sudden outburst with a question tag did not as much as make Derick turn to look in her direction again.
Richard's eyes were filled with pleas to Isabella and to Derick. He wants them both to compromise for the other.
They have both undergone one sacrifice or the other as a result of accepting each other. Why should they now allow flippant clauses come in between them?
Derick nodded and tapped Richard's shoulder and smiled. He didn't say another word,but walked out and Isabella's eyes dropped tears.
Immediately he left, a part of her seemed to be torn away. She felt pain and hurt. She raised her hand to try and stop Derick but couldn't.
"De
Fred Wilson squinted. He was determined to leave without thinking about Isabella? He had to apply all wisdom to calm her down before leaving her to meet him here.He had in fact promised her he was bringing him back and now he insisted on leaving and would even engage in combat if anyone tried to stop him.What had ensued between them both that he had to take such a decision without thinking about the consequences of his actions on his mate and himself?"If you want to leave, then go. My daughter would survive this period in her life. I thought you both are mates and one is to stand by his or her mate in times like this.But before leaving, I am asking that you do me a favor. Go back there and reject
Richard nodded and then excused himself. He followed the guard back to alpha Fred Wilson's chambers.When he arrived, he met the alpha in his study. Fred is not in the habit of allowing people into his study except close family or friends.But Richard, he took him not as a friend but a family. And family they say comes first always.Richard walked in and bowed before the alpha as the guard retreated. Alpha Fred offered him a seat and the latter sat down.The King poured himself a drink and asked that Richard also poured himself a drink. The two men drank and Fred asked him how he came across his daughter and Derick to have followed them down?
He remembered Derick was not there. He didn't come but remained indoors. He was still young at the time, he couldn't resist his father but he could do whatever he liked with his will power.Lukas Briston and his wife actually drank to stupor that night. He was helped to his chambers along with his wife that night.Thinking about it now, he wondered why he was not murdered in that drunken state. He was there as well that day as expected of everyone who is happy with the new authority in the pack.He was sobbing silently that day, sorrowful but smiled with difficulty to appear he is a part of them and not betray himself and the part he played in helping Fred Wilson escape with his mate and daughter.Th
Richard just stared at Derick. Was he talking about someone else or his father? He really disapprove of his father's callousness and was open about it?What kind of a son is Derick who doesn't cover sins simply because the sinner is his father? He said without missing words that his father's sins would be visited upon him.Beginning from that day, he would respects Derick the more. He had always known him to be a man of character but from his words that day, he has doubled the respect he has for him in his heart." Aren't you going to feel bad when that calamity comes on your father?" Richard asked, still probbing him further." It is only natural that I feel that way. No matter how devilish Lukas Br
Brenda squinted. A repulsive answer from a guard. She's the Luna of the pack and yet, a guard answered her in such a mannerless way?She looked at her daughter and the latter stared on in disbelief. Her father had humiliated her mother that even the guards can now talk back at her in such a carefree way.She frowned but while the daughter and mother pair were bewildered, the guards, one at each end held her majesty and raised her up.That way, they dragged her along as she was protesting. She was saying she would deal with them as she is the Luna.But her protest fell on deaf ears. The guards wore a poker face and went on with Brenda toward the dungeon.
Isabella was quiet. Can Derick really communicate with his sister from such a long distance?Derick asked, connecting with his sister. But she is not hearing him, her connection isn't as strong as her brother's.When she couldn't mind-link with him, Derick opened his eyes. He looked unhappy but there's nothing he could do." You couldn't mind linked with her?" Isabella asked and the latter nodded. What is happening back in his pack?"The distance between us is much perhaps," Isabella said, trying to cheer him up. She saw his mood had changed and he looked disturbed."I know. But I have that special gift to be able to perceive what is hap
Laura was happy. If her mother knows where Derick is, then it is much easier for her to locate him than wondering about."Tell me mum, where I can find my brother" Laura asked and Brenda was reluctant. Telling her Derick might be in Crimson's pack where Fred Wilson is the alpha and Isabella is the princess was difficult.Considering what Lukas had done to those couple, and the lives of the innocent pack members that were lost makes her feel guilty for her husband."Well, I can't be too sure. He might be there or may not" Brenda hesitated. She looked away and felt bitter for the past, a past filled with regret now, a past she wished she never participated in its unpleasant part.Laura became sullen. D
Fred stared on at the young man before him. He appeared lost and sober as well. He already knows everything about his father's burial from what Richard had told him."Old Alpha Wilson has no tomb in ranger's pack. I don't want to remember that black day lord Fred. I wish you are not asking me this question.." Derick answered politely and looked away." Then what happened to his remains?" Fred Wilson probed further. Derick has to tell him the truth. If he dares try to cover up his father's faulty attitude,he would know he is not as transparent as he had thought.Derick sighed audibly. Why is alpha Fred asking him such difficult questions? He could ask Richard and get the answers that he seek. Why asking him?&nbs
