Derrick's POV
"How fucking dare you!" Derek booms, smashing his fist into the wolf that stole from us.
Bastard thought we wouldn't find out, and if I wasn't here maybe we wouldn't but it's insulting enough he thought he could get past me.
I raise my, tilting it to the side a little as I watch as he plummets the poor guy over and over again.
Sigh.
"I a–am so–sorry Alpha. Ple–please i have a new pub." Eric, the wolf on charge of our store house pleads with blood running down his lips, his eyes barely open.
I let out a deep breath knowing it's not because of the food he stole that Derek is losing his shit, no it's because of the little 5'2 pale as fuck woman that has been with the pack doctor for three days now.
Usually, stolen foods from the store is handled by our gamma, Fred, but since the incident Derek has needed an outlet and this guy happen to fit.
"Alpha Derrick, please help me." Eric pleads, looking at me like I am his last hope.
Yes, I am.
Derek always acts before thinking, doesn't care what people say about him just goes after blood first.
It's how he earned his many names over the years since we took over from our father.
The berserker, herbenger of death, wild card, feral wolf and many more.
I tend to be the only one that can pull him out of it and it gets really sickening.
"Derek, let it go." I murmur, watching his hands freeze in the air before he pushes the man over and storms out of the basement.
I turn, shaking my head as I follow him, "Take him to the doctor." I tell our beta, Joshua who simply nods as I leave.
Joshua Gates has been our beta since we were kids as his father was a beta to ours. We became more like best friends as we grew up.
I let out a deep breath as the smell of fresh air slams into me but I dont stop or change my expression.
"You need to calm down." I murmur once we are inside our shared office.
The place is huge, and we divided it into two so he has one side while I take the other side.
"How are you not freaking the hell out?" he growls, sending his arms into the air as he marches to his table.
I watch him, noticing the way his fingers are trembling and it's definitely not because of the blood.
"I don't freak out." I remind him, narrowing my eyes at him as he staunters towards me.
"Don't you dar–" the words are barely out of my lips when he wraps his hands around me while the fucker is still covered in blood.
I groan, jabbing my elbow into his side, "Get the fuck off me." I growl and of course the idiot just bursts into laughing.
He knows how much I hate dirt or anything staining my clothes and yet he always does he when he wants to piss me off.
"What are we going to do with her?" he finally asks the question that has been hanging over us for the past three days.
My face hardens as I just shrugs, he has been going to check on her almost daily but I don't have the time to attend to pesky matters.
"Whatever." I tell him, not willingly to dive into that matter.
"How can you say that? She is our mate, the moon goddess gave her to us." I snarl at the word us knowing damn well it's never true.
We have tried sharing women before it just–no don't go there Derrick.
"I was fine with her rejecting us."
I wasn't fine with it but I am never the one to say what I actually mean and it's not because I am scared of what the other person would say.
No, it's quite the opposite. I just love watching the look on their stupid face while I play with them.
"Well, I am not–"
"You better be because no rogue is becoming, the Luna of this pack." that shrilling voice booms a the door to our office slams open and Natalie fucking gates steps in alongside her daughter Claire.
My body goes rigid as I straighten myself, a snarl threatening to escape my lips.
"And who the fuck are you to make that decision?" I say, my voice calm yet I am raging on the inside.
I hate Natalie, she is a snake that hides in pure daylight.
Cunning and manipulative. I don't understand how Derek doesn't see it.
"But she is ours." Derek says, almost like a whine and I want to smack his head upside down for it.
"The people will never accept her, she is weak and a threat to this pack. Making her your aLuna will only bring shame to this pack your father spent his life building." she says, stepping forward as she places her arm softly on Derek's shoulders.
There it is.
Poisoning his mind to do her bidding but making it seem like she is advicing him.
It's the same thing I do, so I know that's what the bitch is doing too.
"Back the fuck up." I growl, stepping closer as my hazel eyes goes darker.
She notices the look in my eyes and step back, letting her dirty fingers falls to the side.
"A rogue mating with Alphas is an abomination. It will bring nothing but curse on the pack, your parent will be rolling in their graves." she bites at me.
"Mating a beta will be far better for the pack–"
"You mean your daughter right?" I snap, glaring at the said Claire who has her red hair pulled up in a ponytail.
"Yes, I have trained her all these years–"
"Claire will never be our Luna, get that into your thick skul–" the rest of my words are cut off as our door slam open.
I turn to a panting Joshua, "What happened?" Derek asks, taking a step forward.
"The girl, she took her sister and they fled." he says, eyes widening with each word as he pushes his words down.
There is more.
"Say it." I murmur.
"The doctor said, she went into heat."
What!
"How is that possible?" Natalie screams, her eyes widening.
Derek as usual doesn't think, he just dashes out of the room no doubt to hunt her down before rogues finds and her mount her.
A sudden aggressiveness I haven't felt in a while takes over me and for the first time I don't think, I just move.
Little mouse isn't going anywhere and if she thinks we will let her go after going into heat when we are no where near the heat season she is well out of her mind.
I didn't agree before but now it's either she stays or her sister dies.
No one runs from us.
By the time I make it to the border, Derek already has her by the neck as her body topples over through waves and waves of heat.
A loud growl ripples through my mouth at the scentl of her heat, her musk so strong it nearly knocks me off my balance.
Other wolves back off, dashing away from us so fast once they see us there.
I don't think, I just move, grabbing her sister as my claws go straight to her neck digging into her shoulders.
Blood covers my fingers as Sapphire lets out a small noise that can't even be considered a cry.
"Stay with us or your sister dies." I threaten, eyes brimming under the night as I tighten my claws around her neck.
She shakes her head. Her lips tremble as she watches tears run down Julia's eyes.
"Don't do it please. I will stay." she murmurs, the fight draining out of her.
Now, it's time to feast.
