After the celebration, my mom gave me a kiss and urged me to go to bed. It was already past one and she didn't want me sleeping late because I might wake up late tomorrow. “Good night honey. Sleep tight. Once again, I'm sorry for not returning early to witness your first shift,” My mom apologized warmly before brushing my forehead with her kisses.“It's not your fault. I'm so grateful for everything you gave me. The gifts, the flowers,. I - I don't know what to say.”“You two are just the best,” I mumbled sweetly before embracing both my mom and step dad.“Good night, honey.” Mr Walter muttered, his blue eyes shining and illuminating my spirit.I walked back to my room but when I heard my mom ask of Derek from Mr Walter, I stopped on my tracks, trying to eavesdrop on their conversations.“He left a while ago. Maybe he was feeling sleepy. I'll go check on him once I'm done with clearing up these dishes,” I heard Mr Walter say and I took slow steps to my room, pondering on what transp
“O.M.G! Derek is here! He's here!” I heard the girl's squeal as soon as he alighted from the taxi. I was so glad I'd gotten down before they saw him. Only the moon goddess knows what they would have been thinking if they had seen us together."Good morning, Derek. It's nice to see you once again. I need you to sit next to me in class today, please.”Matilda spoke with her arms encircling Derek. She is my worst bully, and I've been making every effort to get away from her. I glanced back at them, and to my relief, they were unaware that Derek and I had just arrived in the same taxi.When I brought up the idea of rejecting Derek, I was lucky to see some guys walking and discussing on the school field. I knew they'd call the girls and alert them once they saw me with Derek. I had no choice but to end my conversation with Derek by getting off the cab immediately. I pretended that I had never met him, changed my route, and headed for the school building. I was lucky that the girls noticed
“Ok, so now lemme get this straight. You're unable to live with Derek or see him as your step brother because you once had a fling with him before?” Bonnie inquired while staring directly into my eyes, and I sighed as I realized she had a very poor guess.I sat on the chair and placed my hands on her shoulder, increasing the curiosity in her. In an attempt to find the answers to her query, she grasped my chin and looked across my face.“Bonnie, you won't believe what happened,”It's difficult for you and Derek to move on from those prior experiences, and you're considering dating. Is that all there is to it?”“No Bonnie! Derek turned out to be my mate! I can't believe it. It's making me go crazy, Bonnie.”I expressed and disclosed everything to Bonnie and I could see her eyes enlarging with each word.“Are you really telling the truth, Isabel? Derek is really your mate?!” Bonnie asked once again and I nodded, pouting my lips like I was about to cry. “Then that's great news! You've a
“Mason…” I whined and groaned as he nibbled my neck, wanting to get intimate with me. Is he thinking I'm that naive to let him have his way towards me? After dumping me for Patricia, what more could he possibly want from me?“You have to leave me, Mason. I'm not interested in you, you already rejected me, remember?” I emphasized with clenched teeth and he paused a moment before searching my face. He slipped his fingers into his hair and held my chin, raising it up so I could look at him directly.“We might not be mates but we could just still flirt around, you know. I know you don't have a boyfriend. You don't have a mate. Why don't I act like one to you and fill that empty space in your heart, Little wolf?”He stated, his words irritating me the most. I yanked my hands from his grip and tried to get away from him but he grabbed me, holding me in his grasp.“I know you crave for my touches, Isabel.” He whispered, bringing his nose closer to me, trying to scent every part of me. His
“Derek! Derek! Please stop!” I cried as I approached Derek, wrapping my arms around him as I tried to pull him off Mason. He continued to punch Mason without flinching at all. Many kids congregated around, agog at what they had witnessed. A few of them had cellphones and were recording Derek and Mason fighting on camera. A huge guy hurried in their direction and pulled Derek off Mason. Our principal, Mr. Plummer, walked in and looked at Derek with a look of bewilderment on his face. With Mason in one hand, he steadied his spectacles and dragged Derek by the other hand.“The two of you! Come with me. NOW!” He thundered.“Including you, Isabel!” He emphasized as he turned back to face me. My eyes went wide and I could hear my heartbeat in my ear as I followed him. Why did Derek do this? I know he was trying to protect me from Mason but he shouldn't have gone too far by beating him up.At the Principal's office~Mr Plummer adjusted himself on his recliner, his eyes fixed on all three of
The next morning was a Saturday, and my mother had gotten up early to prepare for a shopping trip with Mr Walter. They were both planning on purchasing some stuff for their upcoming wedding ceremony. When I hear them talk about it, my heart breaks and I feel bad since there should be nothing that should cause their separation. I could see their love for each other. Derek's plan to inform his father about us being mated made me brood all night. Though I hadn't given him permission, I still felt he shouldn't tell anyone about it. It will break my heart to see our parents break up just because we are mates.“How do I look?” My mother asked as soon as I came into her room. She was in a black sheath gown and wedge shoes. She held a plush black purse in her hand and gently placed an eyeglass on top of her lovely blonde hair. She was moderately perfumed as usual, and the wedge shoe made her appear taller than she actually was."Isabel.." She called, snapping me out of my daydream. I grinned
His room was brightly lit from various lights coming from the windows and the majestic chandelier that hung from the center of the circular ceiling. The furniture in his room was in hues of gold dust. A heavy king size bed lay in the center of the room with a gigantic mirror behind, decorated with golden intricate designs.Pale gold rug covered the circular floor of the room while multiple columns and dome shaped arches in rust gold shade made up the walls.He closed the door with his feet before carrying me gently in a bridal style. Our eyes locked and I could feel my heart thudding frantically against my chest. A gasp released from my mouth when he placed me down on his huge bed. He played gently with my hair, pushing some strands behind my ear as he maintained a gaze with me.His scent filled my nostrils and I could feel myself getting wet from his touches.“Do you know how happy I am to see that you finally accept me as your mate? I'm so excited that I'll finally get to mark you
His body was loaded with ebbs, packs and muscles, quite tempting and arousing. I became wet and stiff down there, my face, a picture of desire etched over it. I have never craved a man's touch to this extent before. My wolf was practically purring and leaping in my head, she was so excited that she couldn't stop howling.Derek reached for his belt and unbuckled them immediately. He drew down his pants and boxer, letting it fall freely.His length came into view and I couldn't help but gasp once again at the sight of it. It was thick, and long at the same time. It stood erect, loaded with veins and waiting for some happy moments. The thought of it thrusting and hitting the walls of my tight p**y made me shiver. His mark on me made me crave for him much more than before. The desire for him to take over my body surged within me.As Derek tried to approach me, I shuddered a bit and I could see his concerned look towards me.He knew I was afraid because he could see the fear in my eyes.
“Who is it?” Derek asked curiously, shifting towards me on the bed, his eyes searching my face. I slipped my fingers into my blonde hair and let out a deep sigh, my face wrinkling from confusion as to why Mason was calling me. Ever since we broke up, he has never called me and I've never done so as well. We moved on completely but now I'm shocked to see him call me. Was it because of what I said to him about Ashley? What did he have in mind to say to me?Derek got impatient when I didn't give him a reply. He grabbed my phone from me, peering at the screen to see the caller.“Mason? It's Mason..” He mumbled as he averted his gaze towards me, his emerald eyes piercing into mine, probably wondering why Mason was calling me. Sometimes he feels I haven't gotten over my feelings for Mason. “Is this the reason you're a little bothered? Did Mason do something bad to you? Did he threaten you? Please tell me Isabel,” Derek pestered, his eyes searching my face."He — he did nothing. He was undo
“What do you mean?! You're asking this because he fought for me that day?” I asked as I sneered at him and the smile on his face faded at once.“Do you think he's my mate all because he stood up for me by fighting against you? He's not, okay. He's not! Derek is not my mate. Whoever my mate is, it's none of your business,”He smirked after hearing my comment and he tucked my hair to the side of my neck, wanting to see my neck clearly. “But you don't have a mark.. are you sure you found your mate?” He asked and I gulped down the lump in my throat, thinking of what to tell him..The mark was already concealed with the cosmetics I applied on my neck, making it less visible.“We decided not to mark ourselves yet. Wait.. why am I even telling you all of these? leave me and stop asking me private questions.. it's none of your business if I've found my mate or not. All I want you to know is that I can never go back to someone like you. Having you as a mate will be the most miserable thing th
Mason held my shoulders, his eyes widened as he searched my face and body for any sign of bruises. I cleaned the drop of tear in my eyes, squinting as I weighed the motive for his sudden appearance in my eyes. “Isabel.. tell me. Did Matilda do this to you? Did she lock you up?” He asked once again, his face filled with concern as he stared into my bluish weary eyes. When he was about to touch me, I recoiled and retraced my step, not wanting him to. Since I learned about what he did to Ashley, I've resolved to keep him at arm's length. He is working hard to win my heart, but I will never let him have his way with me. I'm not a puppet he can use and toss around. He's nothing but a jerk and an egoist, I won't be among those he'd use for his carnal satisfaction.“Don't touch me,” I finally voiced out, giving him an intense stare, one that made him puzzled. “I'm only concerned about you, nothing else. I heard you were locked up In the bathroom so I decided to show up so I can help you,”
“Hello! Anyone there?” I inquired as I grasped the doorknob, pressing it lower and exerting considerable power on the door in order to open it and exit the restroom. After shrieking for what felt like a minute, chortles and laughter erupted from outside, resonating in my ear. Tears welled up in my eyes, and no one needed to remind me that my own bullies had locked me up on purpose. They are here once again; always ready to haunt me and stress the crap out of me. Always ready to make me experience nightmares every single f**g day at school. I'm sick of them, and I know they did this because they saw me with Derek. They did this because Derek initiated a conversation with me. They undoubtedly assumed he was interested in me. Only the Moon goddess knows how they'd react if they discovered we're step siblings. The worst that will happen is when they discover that we're mates. Anything that happens, I'm willing to accept my fate. I'm willing to endure all hardships just to be with my mate.
When my eyes locked with Derek, he flashed me a warm smile from afar, his emerald eyes piercing into mine.As soon as Matilda walked up to him, I could see the other girls recoiling fearfully, giving way for her to approach Derek. That dreadful bitch! She's the bullies' leader and the source of my greatest nightmares. It aches to witness her constantly wanting to claim Derek and force herself on him. She put her arms around him, drooling as she cast him a calculated look. Derek looked so good in his jersey, and I was wondering how and when he decided to join the school football team.Enzo flung his ball into the air before catching it quickly, keeping his gaze on Derek the entire while. He focused his attention on Derek, his expression unreadable when he spotted the group of girls surrounding him. A few girls were also around him, particularly his girlfriends, and I'm sure he was envious of how many of the girls were turning their attention away from him and toward Derek.The few gi
The bell jiggled, alerting us of the next activity which was sport. A smile tugged my lips as I got on both feet, straightening my long blonde hair along. Bonnie's eyes were on my neck and with a smile, she said, “I'm glad you were able to conceal the mark. It's quite better this way. At least no one will get so nosy and curious to know who your mate is when they aren't able to see it.”“Thanks for the idea. Come on, let's go for sport,” “Wait..” I said, stopping Bonnie on her tracks. “I forgot to tell you. My request to be a part of the cheerleader's team has been approved. I can't wait to Join..”I disclosed, grinning from ear to ear.“That's great…You sure are a perfect match for the team, Isabel.”“Thanks.. and urmm. I'd love to get some of my stuff in my locker. I also have to hide this diary as well. I don't want it getting out of my locker. I guess I have to change my keys. Matilda and her gangs are really pissing me off..”“I hope you didn't write stuff about you and Derek
Holding my dairy tightly, I followed Bonnie out of the classroom, my brows cringed with my face etched in perplexity as I wondered where she was taking me to.“We're having a free period..no lectures until sport hours which Is why I dragged you here. I want to speak to you privately, Bonnie.”My brow furrowed, wondering whether it was serious; Bonnie frequently does this when she has something important or troubling to convey to me. When we finally arrived at the empty classroom, I watched as she exhaled before slipping her fingers into her brown curly hair; one that blended with her beautiful ebony skin.“What is it?” I asked with raised brows, my eyes blinking as I stared into her deep brown eyes."I wanted to discuss what I told you about Mason and Ashley. But first, what's up with all the noise in class? Did someone bully you? I saw Mason arrive to save you. Tell me. What actually happened?"Bonnie inquired, her brown questioning eyes scanning my face for any signs of judgment. I
It was a lovely Wednesday morning, and the sun rose early, lighting the entire sky at once. After my bath, I opted to dry my body with a soft towel before putting on my sports outfit. It was Wednesday, and we were definitely going to dress in sports attire rather than uniforms. I dashed to the sitting room and met Derek, who was serving the dishes of food on the table. He grinned as soon as he spotted me, and I came up to sit next to him. “Good morning, Derek. What about mom?” I asked, knowing it was my mom's usual routine to make breakfast for us before we go to school.“She was extremely tired, Isabel. I told her not to bother. I caught her dozing while she was making breakfast. You know our parents had a long day yesterday so she must have been exhausted. She needs enough rest,”Derek mumbled as he popped me on the nose playfully. He was correct, though; my mom needed ample rest. I wish I knew how to cook better now. She had always done the cooking. It's embarrassing that I still
I cut Derek off in the middle of his sentence by placing my finger on his lips. He softly placed my finger down and cradled my face, his emerald gaze fixed on mine. "I understand it's only a game. You had no choice but to do whatever was requested of you. Damn! I wouldn't say I wasn't jealous when I watched you kiss Hayley.”I voiced my emotions, and a slight smile tugged Derek's lips. "What? Every female feels envious when their mate kisses someone else. It just bothers me that people will continue to claim you as their own because they are unaware that we are mates,”“I really wish we could reveal our relationship as mates to them. I badly wish we weren't step siblings..Derek.”Derek pulled me towards him, wrapping his arms around me. His breath fanned my skin, sending waves of comfort through me.. “I don't care if we're step siblings or not. Our mate bond is what matters. With time, we'll confidently announce our status as mates to them. We just have to be patient.”"But it's not e
