SALLY'S POV I finished having my evening bath and retired to my room to dress up. I picked up my cream and began to apply it slowly but steadily, all over my body. I was still applying the cream when the door opened gently and I turned around immediately to see who it was. My heart skipped immediately I sighted alpha Derek closing the door. He had opened the door without knocking, let himself in, and was now closing the door. "What do I owe this visit?" I asked grudgingly. I couldn't help but wonder why alpha Derek had the habit of coming into my room when I wanted to dress up. The first time he came in, today again the same thing. I wouldn't deny the fact that I had wondered why he hadn't come to bother me and had kind of missed his bugging. "Ask me to sit first at least", he said and walked over to the bed and sat on it. My eyes were fixed on him the whole time, and I didn't blink nor shift my gaze until he sat on the bed comfortably, yet I was still staring at him. "They thoug
SALLY'S POV My right hand held in his left hand, my back rested upon his right arm, and him staring directly into my eyes, our lips were closing up every passing minute. It was getting closer and closer and I could see the gap between our lips become very tin, the moment was getting intense and I could feel the sweet hot air from his breath blowing direct into my nostril. It was about to happen, yea the first kiss was about to happen when I saw alpha Lucas's face in my head, the smiles on his face each time he held my hand, his warm embrace, the love in his eyes when she stared at me. Everything happened so quickly and immediately I returned to my senses and pushed Alpha Derek away forcefully. "Stay away from me you pervert", I cursed under my breath as I tried to gain my balance, on my own. Alpha Derek didn't say a word and hurried out of the room. My heart continued to race and I held it in both hands and lowered myself to the floor, I gasped for air for a while, I also did pant
ALPHA DEREK'S POV My parents were finally at the airport, the whole feast plan and everything I planned out the first, second, and even the third time they had promised to come back home didn't work out this time, because I didn't plan any feast or grand welcoming. I thought my parents were going to disappoint one more time, I was shocked when they called so early in the morning to inform me they were already at the airport. I had to send the spare driver and took time to explain to him the reasons he'd delay them on their way to the pack house because he was surely gonna delay them for me. I immediately asked all the servants to get to work, while the kitchen workers quickly started making preparations for stuff to be prepared in the kitchen. It wasn't a big feast, just a semi-regular dinner, so it would be completely cooked and all ready by the time, my parents arrived at the house. It had always been like this, even when I was a kid, I was left at the mercy of my godfather while
ALPHA DEREK'S POV I looked closely at Sally, I even had to wipe my face over and over again to ensure I was seeing clearly but Sally's face was still the same. A complete mess. The excess makeup on her face, and the purposely over-drawn eye pencil, it was funny to everyone present in the dining room including the servants whose table were behind ours. "Quiet!" I ordered angrily and the whole room went as quiet as a graveyard. "Who did this?" I asked fiercely turning to face the makeup artiste who I had employed especially to fix Sally's makeup. She immediately fell to her knees and folded her hands in front of her in an intentional apology position. I looked down at her with a raving eye and wished my anger which was burning like the flames from the red fire would explode on her head and consume her completely. "What did you do? Do you think all this is a joke?" I thundered down at her yet it wasn't enough. The words that shook the whole mansion of the moonlight pack were too weak
SALLY'S POV I was overconfident and doing my shit thinking I was being cool and Alpha Derek would let me return to Alpha Lucas's mansion once he had seen that it was obvious that I didn't want to be with him, and that my heart belonged to Derek but I was completely wrong. I had thought this would finally be my freedom day, he would get to realize that I love Lucas and not him, then he would ask that I be taken back to the moonlight pack and then he would go out there and find another mate for himself. He would go back to the moon goddess and tell her his heart belonged to someone else, and she should give him another mate. Or better still check properly if she hadn't made any mistakes. I thought he would see reasons with me, I didn't have to be in a pathetic condition first or go on my knees to beg him. My pride wouldn't let ms do so and I wouldn't either. Reality dawned on me when my mouth wouldn't shut up until it was short forcefully by the deep stab. Alpha Derek had picked up
SALLY'S POV Derek took his hands away from me and took a few steps backward. "You are, you..." Paused for a while staring at me unbelievably fathoming what exactly the problem was and why alpha Derek was acting the way he was acting. Alpha Derek picked up the jacket he had placed on the hanger and hurried out of the room. "What did he see that made him so scared?" I asked but of course, there was no one present in the room to give me the answer I need so there was no need to expect it. I stayed in the room for a while before two guards came in to get me back to my room, they had picked me up and made sure to lock the door properly before leaving. I returned to my room, sat on my bed, and began to sob. Sobbing had become my second name, I didn't do anything else other than cry a day with no one to console me, I would cry myself to sleep, yet it wouldn't be enough, as I will still have to cry the whole day. It gave me so much cause to worry, and my whole system was getting weak. I
SALLY'S POV "What do you mean by the makeup artist was the last stroke to break the camel's back?" I asked. My heartbeat had doubled and I could hear the sound of my own heart pounding like a piece of yam in a mortar. I could hear my heart racing, and my whole body shook in fear of what Derek must have done to the woman, and once again it was all my fault that someone else was in pain. "Was that not the reason you were crying?" Sarah asked looking at me surprisingly and I became more anxious. I could feel my own throat burning, it was burning like a piece of wood was lit up and placed there, I could feel the dear in my system like it was going to overwhelm me and I was so scared because there was absolutely nothing I would do about it. "I do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about", I replied and I could hear the fear in my voice as it shook. Sarah's suspense was killing me, all I wished for at that moment was to place my hand on her chest and read her heart, and I
SALLY'S POV "An escape plan? You must be kidding me, right?" I asked, staring at Sarah unbelievably. "Am I? You don't want to escape?" Sarah asked. "I am not sure about this escape plan you are bringing up. How am I going to escape with the right security in the pack house?" I asked. "Are you in or out?" She asked. "What do you think? Of course I'm out", I said. I wasn't about to have another soul get killed because of me. I would so much grab the opportunity and escape if it were that easy, but I can't be selfish... Risking Sarah's life because I want to escape and have a romance life with alpha Lucas, alpha Derek would never spare her life if anything goes wrong during the escape. The security in the mansion is so tight, and there was no way we were going to get through without getting caught. "What are you thinking about?" Sarah asked me, bringing me back to reality. "I am thinking about the plan", I replied. "You are considering it?" She asked excitedly. "Of course not,
