Semua Bab Her big, bad Alpha wolf: Bab 21 - Bab 30

ISABELWhen I become aware that he is searching my face, I realize I have held my breath and stared at his face for longer than I should have. I shake my head. “Excuse me, what?” He smiles softly. A smile that feminizes his face. He must be around the same age as me but he looks younger and healthier. “I asked if you were –” He stops and his smile fades. His eyes darken and he scrunches his nose. He growls. “Are you okay?” I ask, concerned. I didn’t expect one of the very few people that have been nice to me in my whole life to switch up like that in such a short time. I start to step back when he doesn’t stop growling, his nose flaring and dragging in air like he is running out of oxygen. I shake my head. If my worst nightmare is about to come true and I’m discovered, then, I’m only a few minutes from been torn to shreds. The more steps I take back, the more he closes in on me, sniffing me. Sniffing is definitely a common thing among the souther

DEREK Since I left Shiftersville for an emergency business meeting in the human territory, I’ve been feeling guilty for leaving without notifying Isabel. Three days have passed, and, as I drive my way back to my territory, I can’t help but hope that she hasn’t done any thing as crazy as leaving the penthouse thinking the eye contacts she wears will save her. Even if she gets past everyone with my smell, she can’t make it past the Weres that can’t control their shifting or one that has already shifted. Before heading to the penthouse, I decide to stop by and check on my daughter and the family in the house. It has been really quiet since yesterday and no one is picking my calls or responding to my texts, not even Nate. As much as I want to be assured that everything is fine, I don’t think I’ll be fully convinced until I see the situation of things for myself. I pull over in the driveway right beside the house and step out of the car. No one is outside, even though it’

DEREK Everything is happening so fast. I’m less than twenty-four hours, I’ve gone from wanting to see Isabel to learning that she has been caught and her life is in danger to sitting in front of a panel of four powerful werewolf elders that make up the Elders council of the Southern Wolves, thinking of ways to save Isabel’s life even though my position as the Alpha is now at stake. “What do you have to say for yourself, Alpha Derek?” Rena, the only female in the Elders’ council asks, her jet black hair is pulled into a tight bun that pulls her face back. I look from one face to the other until I’ve looked at all four faces and caught a glimpse of their thoughts; it’s nothing. Although I can sense the quiet joy of questioning the Alpha and feeling in control that is coursing through their veins. The Elders’ council is an ancient-long tradition created specifically to put the Alpha in check. It only works with a level-headed Alpha. There is no punishment for d

DEREK Bright light pour into my eyes as I slowly steer, blinding me. My head is heavy and ringing and madly aching. My body is weak. I can barely lift my arms and legs, and I lie down in the middle of a bed, I think. What happened to me? Where am I? How long have I been here? How long was I out for? It’s so many questions on my mind as I struggle to stay awake and focus. The last thing I remember was getting dragged out of the Elders’ council meeting with a sack over my head. But, with the way I’m feeling, I must have gotten drugged. Those bastards. I’ll make sure each one of them pays for their sins as soon as I get back on my feet. Isabel! Her name rings in my head. The beautiful northern wolf that had fallen into the enemies den and forced to make stupid choice because I couldn’t satiate my lust. Lust. That sounds wrong. I wanted her body – yes – but, more than that I wanted her presence. Her distinct smile. Her sharp mouth. The warm gray of her eyes

DEREK It’s been a week since so many things were taken away from me. Three days since I’ve been locked in this heavily guarded room, away from everyone including my daughter. Not even Nate has come to see me. But, none of these matter to me as much as the Shewolf that brought me into this mess. Isabel. I miss her. I’ve thought about no one else but her. I don’t know how she’s faring, whether she is safe or not. Alive or dead. No one will tell me anything or even give me an audience. Not the crazy wolves that guard this room, nor the wolves whose only job was to pass my food through an opening made in the door. At least, I’m not chained up and ridiculed like some others. It’s funny how I simply surrendered and let my pack do whatever they want with me. First, I was stripped of my position as the Alpha – for a while, at least. Then, when I let my guard down, I was drugged and taken into captivity. Still, I haven’t had the will to fight back. Maybe because I’m wil
