Emma could literally see the thick tension in the air; a sharp knife could cut through it. From the expression on the boys’ faces, she could tell that the uncle in question wasn’t the Christmas gifts type; the boys didn’t like him.
She knew she needed to leave. This was some deep shit family matter, and from experience she knew they would be more uncomfortable that she was there. It was better she left, and gave them some privacy; she had a work to get to anyway.
“Uhmm guys..” she said, trying to shuffle her neck away from Derek’s hand; it hurt already from his tight grip since Shane mentioned his uncle. But she had enjoyed the feel of it while it lasted; although she felt stupid for even allowing him to pull her closer after his jab at her. She didn’t understand why her emotions were so weak when it comes to him.
“I need to get to work.” She said finally, also giving up on shuffling her neck away. He would just let me go himself. She thought, as she st
who remembers Arnold? so he is Derek's uncle???
Melvina watched her son murmur a greeting at his Uncle, and sighed. It seems her young lad hadn’t forgiven his paternal uncle for what he had done during the last pack war.Well she could understand why her son was finding it difficult to forgive the cunning man; she was still trying to get past his act of betrayal and cowardice even. She didn’t understand why her husband was so determined to involve his brother in the recent meetings. Wasn’t the last act of cowardice enough proof to him that the bulky man in front of them was up to no good at all? She wondered.“Eva get to your room; the adults have something to talk about.” She said to her five year old daughter, who has found her brother’s arms a more comfortable place to stay.“But Mom, I’m an adult already.” The little girl with deep black long hair said, pouting her lips.“And why do you say so.?” Arnold asked, finding it funny that h
Derek would have found the large portrait of the family interesting and beautiful to look at, if it hadn’t been brought by his uncle. “Was it a peace offering?” He thought to himself. Well if it was, It was a sham. He concluded, removing his eyes from the portrait which was a fine piece of art with beautiful bright colors; it was painted. He turned to see his father and his uncle staring at him inquisitively. ‘Did they ask for anything?’ He thought, as he stared back at them, piquing up his eyebrows in the process; not minding that it seemed rude after zoning out on them. “Derek..” His father called. “Didn’t you get the question?” “What question?” He asked. “Don’t tell me you zoned out while we were discussing important matters!!” Peter bawled, his voice booming across the ends of the large room. He couldn’t fathom why his son was always this less concerned towards pack issues. ‘Is he not aware that he would be taking over in less than a month time?’
Melvina soughed as she watched her son lumber into the kitchen, looking so crestfallen and melancholic. She wondered what had transpired between the three males in the room.For a moment, she had wanted to attribute it to her mate knowing that their son had a human mate, but then she brushed it off; if he knew already, she would have heard angry shouts already. He would have barged into the kitchen, knowing that she had already known about it.“Mom, He wants some pancakes.” Derek said distastefully, sitting down tiredly on a stool near the kitchen counter; his head bowed down a bit. His father’s earlier pronouncement had zapped energy from him; it still taunted him. He was sure that his uncle was up to no good.Melvina already knew the ‘he’ her son referred to. His tone said it all.“What happened? What did you all talk about? Why are you looking so downcast?” She asked all at once, as she picked
Emma sighed heavily as she served the last table before her shift comes to an end. Her whole body was aching from the three hours of steady running around to take orders and to serve in response to the orders taken. She was famished, but grateful that it had all come to an end. she also knew that it would get better with time;first times were usually the worst.“Wheew, finally.” She muttered, removing the café’s uniform and badge and placing it in one of the racks in the worker’s closet. Picking up her bag which was in the same row with the racks, she trudged out of the room, humming the fifth harmony’s ‘it’s all about black magic’.Saying a few byes to her co workers, she walked out of the Ac-overrun café into the enclasp of the hot sun. Cursing at the sun tiredly as she walked; she took out a yellow stripped scarf from her pocket, and wiped her face rigorously; some beads of sweats had already made their w
The car was a Mercedes-Benz, a C-300 Sedan. It was a little bit rough around the edges and the trunk region was stained with a couple of brown spots. Emma thought that those brown spots might have been coffee stains; for in her three hours shift at the café, she discovered that the county inhabitants really liked coffee- They could wake up by 12am and still demand for coffee. “It’s my Dad’s car.” Derek mentioned. He had been watching as his little witch ran her eyes tro and fro the car, and he wondered whether she was sizing the car up. It didn’t matter to him though, his was better; at least after Aaron works on it. “Oh, okay.” She muttered, absentmindedly. ‘What is she thinking of now?’ Derek thought, as he stared at his little witch keenly. She still stood at the same position where she had been when he pointed out his car earlier; still staring at the car. “If you don’t like the car, we could…” He was saying, when he was interrupted.
It felt like soft rain on a summer evening. It felt like an explosion of the best flavors in the universe all at once mingling together and creating the best taste and sensation Emma had ever felt. She was lost, totally lost in it. When Derek's lips had mashed against hers, as if trying to flatten and destroy her mouth, as if trying to state his claim on her, to let her know that she was his alone; she had been taken aback. For a second she couldn't breath, her mind was blank until she felt those twingles again. They assailed her body like a rushing water that had broken over a dam. She had been bereft of her senses until then. And when they had attacked her, she had welcomed them this time around with open arms. She had hungrily pushed back, her mouth open, tongue pushing past his clenched teeth to the moist space within. The bristles of his beard scratched against her
Derek could feel his wolf howling in happiness at his mate's reply. He was happy too; more than happy.Snaking his right hand around her neck, he brought her face closer to him. He was still pondering on the beautiful nature of her eyes, the greeness of the forest green, when she kissed him.She kissed him like he wanted to be kissed, like no girl had ever kissed him, soft and moist and hot and breathy, not trying to win a battle but seeking union and closeness and the sharing of one breath, one sensation, one timeless and passionate moment.The heat rose in his loins as her tongue touched his tongue, quick and electric and delicious, then firmer, more determined, more curious about the heat that lay within, seeking to chase down that elusive liquid lightning tha
'Finally..' Emma muttered, breathing out heavily as Derek pulled up the car right in front of her house. Finally, she could eat and rest. Her stomach had been making rumbling sounds since the drive started."We're home.." He said heartily, pressing a button on the dashboard which let the car doors unlock.Emma winced, as she stretched herself a little bit. She really needed to sleep, perhaps before eating. She thought.Looking sideways, she saw that Derek was already out of the car, with her backpack on his shoulders. He was walking towards her side of the car.She watched him still as he stopped at her door, winked at her, before opening it."Won't y
