Maya closed her tightly, as she heard Derek's proclamation. She didn't know whether she should be angry that he had said it out in the open without her consent, or happy that he had known her well enough, even to the extent, of telling that his best pack warrior was her mate. It showed her that he still hadn't really forgotten about their closeness. It also gave her a hope that they could reconcile, maybe later, if her father didn't require anything selfish from her.
"Derek, what did you just say?" She heard her mate ask her cousin, and sighed. This was getting harder by the minute.
"You both are mates." Derek replied Leo, folding his arms.
"How come you don't know?" He queried his friend. "Or are you ignoring the mate bond because of me?" He asked further, voicing his wolf's
Melvina's nostrils flared in anger as she heard Maya's statement. She tried to rein in her agitation, as she contemplated on how wicked her mate's brother could be; even stretching the threads of his wickedness to his own daughter."Mom.." She heard her son call, and sighed. She knew that he had already caught in, on her emotions; and so there was no need to hide the truth or the true effects of what the girl's father had done."Aunt..what is it? You are not saying anything." Maya stated apprehensively. She could already tell that something was wrong; the potion was wrong, just like her wolf, Sia, had said.As she mulled over on the issue, she remembered her mother's reaction when she had heard that her father gave her the Panjyo potion. Her mother's reaction had just been l
Maya swallowed her spittle forcefully as she beheld the furious look on Derek's face. He was very angry at her, and she didn't like it one bit. It wasn't helping her cause, but then, she could also understand why he was so damn angry, with his nostrils flaring as he tried to stop himself from strangling her. He was annoyed at having being spied on; well nobody fancied being spied on.Taking her eyes off her cousin who was boiling in rage at her misconduct and selfish act, she casted a long glance on Melvina, her aunt. The older woman was staring into space, her face devoid of any emotions.Maya knew she was deep in thoughts, and she wondered whether she would be forgiven for this grave act. Well, she knew she wouldn't be forgiving her father very soon. He had crossed the limits, by almost depriving her of her mate; and for that alone, she spited him, not caring to please him again."You told him right?!!" Derek's loud question inter
The conventional darkening of the sky at that time and his inability to really get the full pictorial view of his mother which stood less than five feet in front of him, enlightened Derek that the time was around 7:30pm already; since the moon wasn't really out.He was hungry, but he found it a wrong time to broach the topic. There were more important matters lying around; like for example, the drama that will ensue at the pack house in some minutes time if his uncle was still around. He already knew that his cousin would throw a fit if she met her father at the moment, since her anger was still undiluted, still hot like a can of concentrated acid and could burn anything or anyone that gets in its way.But for that, he couldn't blame her; he actually pitied her, even though she had reported to her father that his mate was a human.
Derek's eyes widened as his mother informed him that she had just been mind linked by his father. Various thoughts ran across his mind at the speed of light, the main thought centered on if his cousin had finally done it. He hoped not. He hoped that the quietness he still felt around the pack was genuine, and not as a result of an Alpha's mind link to his pack members to hush up. At this type of moment, he ernestly wished his little sister had grown up. If she had, she would have been able to give him a run down of what could be happening in the main pack house at the moment. But no, little Eva was still five, and couldn't communicate through the pack link yet. She had to be at least 15; although he already could be communicated to, through the pack link when he was 9years. He had been bristled in shock, when he had h
The tension in the room was so thick that a knife could slice through it, as everyone was left to his or her thoughts. By the side of the room, was Melvina; and she felt a little bad that she had to lie to her mate, but then finally concluded that it was necessary; that it was better this way, knowing that she would still tell him of everything later.On another side was Derek. And as he laid a strong stare on his cousin, he wondered why she would forge that kind of lie.'Was there no other lie, other than a one that would bring enemity between her and his father?' He thought. Although he was happy that at least his father's attention had been diverted from the truth, he was still a little bit sad of the bad relationship that will ensue between his father and his cousin. He didn't like that part at all, and he didn't know why.
Melvina sighed tiredly as she closed the door to the Pack's conference room. She looked ahead to see her son and Maya standing by the wall. She knew they were waiting for her. So she increased her pace, as she walked up to them."Let's talk in the kitchen." She said, when she got to them."We can talk, as I prepare dinner. It's already late." She added, as she walked ahead of them, towards the direction of the kitchen, not waiting for their reply or opinion. As she neared the kitchen, she hoped that her little daughter, Eva, would be intelligent enough to locate the pastries she had kept for her in the bowl close to the sink, to eat if she got hungry.When she got to the kitchen, she smiled as she noticed that that the bowl was absent. Her daughter was one of a kind. She may or may
Eva was extremely happy when she heard her cousin's declaration. She was also happy that she had a big sister to play with and talk things over with.Her mother was sometimes, busy with helping her father with pack duties. And Derek was also busy with his friends. It was worse now that he started college. She only saw him in the evenings, and she wasn't ssatisfied with that.She wondered how long her cousin would be staying; she hoped it was for a very long time."How long are you staying?" She queried her beautiful cousin who still held her hand tightly, which she liked."I don't know yet. But I'm not leaving anytime soon." Maya replied, smiling down at her baby cousin. She thought the girl was more beautiful than her big brother.
Emma was applying cucumber juice on her face and neck when her phone beeped to alert her that a message had just popped in.Keeping the lotion by the bedstand, she picked up her phone, wondering on who could be texting her by 9 in the night.Her mind settled for a second on her sister, Amelia; perhaps a text to ask her how she was coping at the other side of the world.Then it shifted to Clem, the guy who she thought was already hooked up on her, then to Derek. Out of the three, her heart yearned for a text from a Derek, although her head-sense thought otherwise. Her head wished the text to be from her sister, they so had a lot to talk about; from her meeting with a governess to her snagging a new boyfriend.
