His Rejected Mateless Luna

Terra

DEREK’S POV

I had my eyes focused solely on the road as I drove through the highway but my mind was somewhere entirely different. I couldn’t wait to reach the old warlord’s place so we could spend some time together after a few days of being apart. Both myself and Nathan had been supper busy with this whole kidnapping thing and had left the warlord on his own for the past couple of days, except for the nanny hired by Nathan to take care of some of his basic needs seeing as he was still not very strong even though he protested, claiming he could do his stuffs by himself.

I only decelerated the car as I approached the driveway of their apartment and when I finally parked the car inside the parking spot, I killed the engine and waltzed out of the car, shutting the door behind me.

Walking to the door, I knocked twice before a faint voice muttered “Come in”. I did with no

open window hesitation and my eyes first landed on the old warlord sitting in front of the that overlooked the back of the apartment which was just an open grass field with a stagnant lake at the far end. Different species of birds were moving around, enjoying the work of nature.

“Someone finally came to visit me” He stretched without even looking toward the door, his eyes still focused on the field ahead of him.

“At least you have another person to keep you company” I pointed toward the maiden walking aimlessly in the kitchen. The attention I gave her for a short while caused her to stumble upon whatever was on the floor and nearly landed face first of the floor but managed to narrowly escape the unepic fall as her hands ungratefully landed on the kitchen Island to hold her in place. Amusement covered my eyes at the sight but I shook my head nonetheless and turned my questionable gaze toward the former Alpha.

“That is Quinn.” He replied to my question before I could even speak it out and I nodded at his response and toasted myself on the couch opposite of him.

The tiredness finally gets to me after so many hours of being up and busy. I closed my eyes to cherish the feeling of finally having to rest my bones and the next time I opened them, I was greeted by the sight of Quinn standing in front of me with her hands still covered in cooking gloves.

“Anything?” She asked and I arched my brows at the sudden questions. “I mean do you need anything? Water? Wine? Refreshment? Food? You uhm….can’t get food at the moment as I am still putting it together and it is not yet done but I can get you drinks and….”

“Water”

“What?”

“Just get me a glass of water”

“Alright, on it” She saluted and turned back toward the kitchen which caused a smile to spread across my lips. Where on earth did Nathan get this one?

“She is a good child you know” The old Alpha’s voice forced my attention away from her and back to his seated form.

“What?” I asked, not because I didn’t hear what he said but because I couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind it.

“She is a good child” He repeated, this time even wiggling his brows at me. Failing to understand what he meant, I hesitantly nodded at his statement and went back to just staring into space.

“She has been an exemplary company for the past few days and has done nothing short of the job she was assigned to do.”

“Oh wow, that is nice to hear” I nodded at that, not sure why he was informing me about it anyway.

“And she can cook nice meals. I know how you have a very soft spot for food in your heart. You might be able to find her spot for her too” He didn’t fail to continue speaking.
