Stacey’s POV.The three of us grabbed a drink, looking around for our table. I could see Adam watching our every move. I ignored him, keeping my attention on my father and Derek. I had planned to keep Derek close all the time but instead of me doing that, he himself kept me close since we walked in. I liked the feeling of someone doing that to me, even though it was pretending. I still felt wanted.“Stacey, you should go and greet all the Alpha. In this way, you will get to know a lot of things that are happening around you.”“Sure, dad.”After a while,“It’s good to see you moving on Stacey with someone who really treats you like queen.&

Derek’ POV.I didn’t know why I said that but I needed to make that fact clear. I couldn’t name anything about the incident which happened between us last night but I didn’t want her to feel like I abandoned her.I quickly removed my hand from her cheeks and moved back.“So, this was the reason why you called me here?”, I asked, doubting her intention to call me this urgent.“I…”I chuckled and shook my head. “Your father is mad.”“Mad? But why?”“Well, I was playing with my daughter when I received the ne

Derek's POV."Come on. All of the guys are there; they will be happy to see you.", Laila said, holding her hand in excitement."It will be good to see everyone.""Though you better watch Lucy around Derek because we all know how big flirt she is, and she won't miss a chance to try to do the same which she did with Adams.""To be frank, I won't mind if she does that because I trust my man.", She said, grabbing my arm with her other hand. I was not sure whether she was pretending or telling the truth because I felt like she meant those words. Or maybe she was an amazing actor. "But she will be getting warned to stay away from him.""Come on, Bet…I mean Derek. We men are going to have fun in that area.", John said in excitement, pulling me away from Stacey."Hey!" Stacey faked her glares for stealing me."Don't worry. We have not invited any strippers." John winked at her before taking me away from her."You haven't partied since our mate's death, isn't it?', Rex asked.'Yeah. I hope I

Derek's POV.I must admit that she was too good at whatever work she did. I meant the way she handled the smell of burnt food was recommendable; being a werewolf, our sense of smell was too good compared to humans, but whatever magic she did, even I couldn't say that food had been burnt even a little."Damn it! I will surely be going to gain a lot of calories after eating all this.", Lucy commented, eating the foods like a hungry woman."You can eat like a normal human instead of eating everything like an animal that you are.", Laila commented, on which she earned a smack from Stacey for teasing her."Seriously, Ace!! I'm eating this amazing food after decades. I love it.", Owen praised."Really? And what do you think I cook like?" Ruby, his mate, asked, raising her brow. "Were you eating shit until now? Huh?""No, baby. I..I…""You are going to cook at home from now onwards.", She said, pointing her spoon toward him."Please, baby!" he pleaded, but Ruby ignored her. Everyone broke o

Derek's POV.I sighed in relief when I finally told her about Scarlett's identity, and she didn't create a hype about it by yelling or screaming that why the hell I was taking care of a baby who has vampire blood in her veins. Well, her reaction was much better than my own parents, who were on the verge of disowning her just because they found out she was drinking blood like a vampire.I recalled everything that happened today from starting to end and smiled like an idiot. Finally, we admitted that we wanted each other. Though we didn't promise anything about the future, but there was a slight hope about it; otherwise, she wouldn't have said about releasing me from my duties as beta, but then I will challenge to which alpha for the duel?'Should I start working on that from now onwards?' I asked Rex, who rolled his eyes.'Don't act like a desperate. Sleep right now. Don't you want to go to the amusement park with Stacey and Scarlett?'"Yeah! I think I should focus my mind on sleeping
