Emma watched Derek's eyes glaze over for a second, before re-focusing on her; and she concluded that it was exactly the same look she had seen on Melvina's face back at the cafeteria two days ago, including the faces of the people in the cafeteria.
She pondered on the issue, rubbing her fingers on her jaw intermittently. "We're they psychics or mind-readers?" She couldn't just understand the mystery behind the eye glazing. Perhaps, she would ask Derek later; they were dating now, so they shouldn't be hiding things from each other. She thought.
With this thought settled in her head, she walked over to Derek who seemed to be looking at her; but who she knew was also spaced out.
"Derek.." She called, touching him on the chest. This motion snapped his gaze to her immediate
Shane smirked as he watched Derek's shocked face as he stared at his mother. He had been shocked too when the Luna had requested him to follow her somewhere; a somewhere that had turned out to be the human's house. He wondered whether she knew aforetime that Derek would be here, or that she came to see the human; perhaps to ask her to vacate the territory because of the impending pack war. He concluded that it was the latter. "Hullo Derek.." He said, still smirking as he walked over to stand behind his Luna. "Didn't you get my message?" He asked. "I did. I was about coming." Derek whispered, knowing that his little witch was just behind him. "Why are you whispering?" His mother queried, looking amused.
Derek and Shane strottled away from Emma's front porch before they started to discuss, not wanting to risk Emma listening in on them, even though it was highly unlikely; their Luna already had the human girl hooked."What was the message?" Derek asked finally, when they were out close to Mr Kletch's house."Didn't know you were interested." Shane replied, taking sharp steps like he was in a hurry to get somewhere."Shane quit joking around and come clear." Derek said, getting impatient with his gamma's blurred remarks."Joking around? You're the one that seems not to take certain things serious. What if we were under attack Derek?..I had mind linked you to come immediately." Shane stated, coming to a halt, as he tri
Clem stood at the outer courts of their pack house, looking steadily towards the entrance to their pack environs as if, he was willing a person or something to appear through it.'"What's taking them so long?" He muttered to himself, checking his wrist watch. It was almost six pm."What are you looking at?" He heard a voice ask, and turning a little to the right to see who was talking, he saw Leo watching him. His mind-guess hadn't been wrong. Only Leo had that type of deep baritonic voice in their pack."Nothing really. Just waiting for them." He replied."Shane and Derek??" Leo asked, taking a long glance at the entrance of the pack too."Yeah, Shane and Derek."
Derek barged into the pack's conference room in anger, and wasn't fazed at all by the look of disappointment that appeared on his father's face at his entry. He totally ignored it, thinking that his old man should have had it coming; should have known that he wouldn't be pleased with the idea of merging their pack with another, let alone merging with Arnold's, even if it was for ten seconds. "Oh, if it's not my favorite nephew." He heard his uncle say, and scoffed. Surely, he would get back at him one day. He just had to find the right circumstance to do it. "Hello Uncle." He greeted, trying hard to rein his temper in, his teeth gritting in the process. "Hello nephew. Where have you been? We've been searching the whole area for you." Arnold said, with a smirk present o
Derek shut his eyes wearingly and cussed intermittently as he heard the voice which he had last heard, about seven years ago. Fisting his hands tightly, he took a deep breath, in and out, before swerving around to face his oldest friend, turned foe. "Maya.." He grumbled out, unfolding one of his hands, and inserting it into his deep left front pocket of his denim trousers; whilst still staring at the feminine beauty in front of him. He thought she was still the same, except older and more beautiful. "Hello Cousin Brother.." Maya said with a smirk. "How have you been. Long time no see." She continued, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Derek could tell, from the smirk that coated her lips, that she was also part of her father's plan, again; and it didn't do his mood
The walls of the pack house were designed with beautiful drawings of wolf-like art, which Maya thought was excellent and aesthetic as she and Derek walked towards the place where she had left her warriors an hour ago to heed to her father's call to follow the way up to the Pack's conference room.She was at least happy, that her Uncle, Derek's father, had still managed to uphold the pack, even better, since the last pack war. She was also happy that her betrayal hadn't caused Derek much mayhem later, other than a broken heart and a dismembered trust pattern.Watching the bustling activity going on in the pack, the children running up and down, a group of women talking and laughing, she concluded that the her cousin's pack was warmer than hers. Her father had stopped pack members, children mostly, from trouping into the pa
Derek sighed as he heard the bitter tone in his cousin's voice. He couldn't mistake it for pretence; his remark had really hurt her. He wondered whether she was now feeling sorry for the crime she had committed against him some years back. He wished she was, even though he doubted that they would be as close as before; the trust glass had already been broken."Spaced out again?"Derek heard Shane's voice through the pack link and swore. 'What was it this time around?' He thought.Looking around, he tried to take in his surroundings to know where he was actually at; as he had been oblivious of it even while walking because of his deep thoughts.He realized with a jerk-speed, that he was just at the entrance to
Maya's eyes bulged out as she beheld the fine specimen that had just interrupted her cousin's excuse; partly from his beauty and build, and partly from his scent which was so invigorating and exhilarating. She could also feel Sia, her wolf, howling in happiness. She had just found her mate! Oh what pure joy, it brought to her that she wasn't mateless at last.Taking candid but small short steps towards the handsome figure that stood talking with her cousin, talks that she was completely oblivious of, as her mind was entranced and all centered on her mate; she thought of the happiness that would cloth her mother's face at the news.When she had turned 18, and let out her wolf,Sia, everyone had been expecting her to show her mate forth within a week or two; but it hadn't been so. They had decided to let her be for a month or two.
