On the way to the main kitchen, I randomly decided to visit my squad since I needed to check how their duties were being handled and see if there was any problem I had to know before the Alpha blame me for being negligent again.
I mean, I could ask them through mind link, but at the same time, I also wanted to spoil them a bit with food since I'm already on my way there.
My squad's headquarters was on the opposite way of the kitchen so I had to run hastily. When I got there, I didn't hesitate and opened the door.
There, I saw Noah half-naked in front of me. When he noticed my presence, he quickly covered his body. His blonde curls were still wet from showering, so I guessed that they just got back. Strangely though, Liam was still working out while Jojo just looked happy to see me.
I closed the door behind me.
"Beta Venus?!" Noah exclaims in shock. "W..What are you doing at this time of hour?!"
I crossed my arm, "Nothing, I just came to ask
*DEREK's POV*Just what is taking her so long?I waited patiently in the living room. My eyebrow furrowed as I unceasingly tapped on the sofa hand rest, my eyes locked towards the door in front of me.It's been 3 hours since she left, so I couldn't guess what kind of matter she was dealing with, when all I ordered her to do was ask the main kitchen to deliver the supplies.Should I just go to her?I rubbed my temples together, "She's such a troublesome she-wolf."At that moment, I was aware that I was painstakingly waiting for her like an idiot. The impulse wasn't something that I could prevent, unlike the others. My bond with her was more potent than anyone else.I could sense her well as if she were my other half. Feeling anxious, I didn't hesitate any more and tried to reach out to her via mind link.['Where are you? Do you know what time is it?']No answer. I sighed, my knuckles cracked in irri
"Hushh!!" Venus placed her index finger on my lips. She rears her head as we lock eyes with each other. "Why do you talk too much? do you know how annoying you are right now?"I can't believe this woman right now. Just how much longer will she be intoxicated? To think I overestimated her, I'll give her a scolding when she wakes up!I groaned in defeat and slapped her finger away, "Why the hell are you doing this to me? Get off!""No!" She shakes her head, "You're not going until you touch me.""Are you crazy?! Stop playing!"When I was able to push her away successfully, my face almost lit up from relief- but that was before she jumped to my body like a psycho-maniac. I gasped, feeling even more burdened that she was pressing her weight on my body.The worst part was, she was in a dangerous position."Venus! Get the fuck off!""What's this?" She raises an eyebrow, "Something's hard under me. And why are your face so red? Do you
Furious at the thought that he avoided me using violence, I dragged my feet to his office, my sweat dripping as I fought the urge to kick the door open."Alpha Derek!" I roared, almost crumpling the metal doorknob in my hands. "Can you explain what the hell is this behind my neck?!"Yet, instead of giving me an explanation. He didn't respond, not even batting an eye towards my direction. He lifted the file he was holding directly to his face as if there was a chance that I wasn't even breathing in the same room as he was.I slammed the door shut, "Stop feigning innocence! You know what you did! Do you think that covering your face would do you a favor right now?!""Lower your voice down-"Seething with fury, I punched a hole in his desk, which caught his attention this time. Carefully, he drops the file down, his gaze focused on the broken wood in front of him."You were intoxicated. What did you expect me to do?""Look at me," I taun
He eyes me, "Nah, Alpha Derek isn't into stuff like that. I haven't heard any women being related to him before. Though, I also can't blame him if he gives in to beta Venus."Pft. I couldn't help but chuckle, "You're saying you find beta Venus attractive?"He shrugs his shoulder, "Not taking her attitude into account. Then she'd be my type."I replied with wide eyes, "I'm surprised. This is the first time you acknowledged beta Venus for something unrelated to her duties.""Don't get me wrong," He says, "I do acknowledge her skill and abilities. It's just that there's something weird about her. You know, I've been under different mentors. Each of them had its unique battle principles, and yet beta Venus couldn't even teach us her original skill. I don't know if she's just hiding it, or she didn't know any of it at all."Original skill? Now that I think about it, it is true that she hasn't shown us anything like that, I thought. A bit hesitant about
~*~*~"Alpha Derek!" I slammed the door open, and as usual, beta Venus was also there beside him. I marched toward his desk and stopped, "Alpha Seff just went off after causing such a commotion. Can you at least give us a gist why? Did you and Alpha Seff fight over something?"Liam closes the door behind us. Alpha Derek didn't even spare us a glance when he replied, while beta Venus wondered what the hell was going on."No, we didn't. He's just a douchebag no need to worry."I rubbed my temples in frustration, "No Alpha, this time's different. He was hostile to us earlier. He even shifted!""What's going? Why didn't I hear about this?" beta Venus cuts in."Well.." I trailed off. I looked at Alpha Derek as he signaled me to shut my mouth off. "..Though the scene was chaotic, we handled the situation anyway."She glares at me, "That's not an excuse!""Venus. Drop it." Alpha Derek says in a low voice. "For now, go to the bor
~*~*~*DEREK's POV*"Admit it. You like Venus. You want her Alpha Derek."I don't want to lie to myself anymore.I frowned.The truth is, there was no day I wouldn't think about Venus and the possibilities if ever she became mine. Every night, I would get dreams about her- as if she was even haunting me whenever I closed my eyes.I was doing well resisting her attempts, but I finally gave in just a while ago. This thirst of wanting her... I couldn't quench it even if I touched her for mere 5 seconds.I jumped to the pit myself.
*VENUS's POV*Something was very weird. Derek wasn't his usual self for the past days, he was taking my jokes too fondly to the point that he'd respond intimately too. Not that I am complaining, but I can't help but be suspicious."You think i'm acting?" He asks, his eyes squinted. Like a hungry man, he pulls me closer that our lips almost touched if I hadn't placed my hand on his firm chest of his. He whispers, "Listen, I'm a simple man. You think I would just be this close to any woman?"I smirked, "You're no simple man, Alpha. Have you forgotten you're a cold-blooded tyrant that doesn't trust so easily?""Are you saying I don't trust you?""No," I replied, I pulled away from his hold and stood up. "I'm saying you're cleverly careful. Must be an alpha's instinct, don't you think?"He looks over his hands where I just left, his eyebrow furrowed as if he was bothered by something before he shrugs it off. His once tende
~*~*~ {"No matter what, promise me you'll live. Even without a purpose, you must live your life...okay? promise me that."} Who's that? My eyes wandered to my surroundings. It was vague and sullen. Then I realized I was back at the house that I was very familiar with in the past. As I turned around, I finally saw myself as a child and my diseased mother beside her. {"If I promise, would you be okay?"} the child sobs. {"I'm sorry mom, I can only heal physical wounds."} {"Don't worry. Mommy would be at peace. If you promise me, I'll promise you I'll always watch over you."} {"Okay, I promise."} Raising my palms, I confusedly gazed at it. I still couldn't believe that I was dreaming. How long was it since I last dreamt so vividly like this? To my surprise, words that I hadn't even heard before echoed around my ears. A forgotten statement that she had long told me before. With grief evident plastered on her face, she
