CHAPTER 17 

DEREK’S PO.V 

MA Neskuters 

Ever since those entitled royal pricks came for the mating ceremony, my life has taken a downward spiral. First of all, my siblings hated me and started monitoring everything I was doing. They sat me down and gave me a long speech about how disappointed they were in me, as if I gave a shit. 

They put me on house arrest for a while and today is the first time in a long time that I could actually leave the house without a bunch of airheaded guards following and reporting my every move to them. 

I got into my car and drove over to Alexis‘ place. It has been a while since I got laid and I know she has probably missed me. I was shocked however to get there and not see her car in the parking lot. I took out my phone to call her but I was sent straight to voicemail. 

That’s weird, because she never has her phone off. I decided to call her friend instead and she picked up on the second ring. 

“Where’s Alexis?” 

“Hi Derek,” she said in a chirpy tone, “I haven’t heard from you in a while.” 

“I don’t have time for your shit Kris, where is she?” 

“My name is Kate, and as for Alexis,” she faltered on the last words, “I’m not quite sure where she is. Have you tried calling her?” 

“If you lie to me, I will make sure your father loses his place in the pack guard and you’re demoted to an omega,” my threat was clear, “I’m only going to ask one more time. Where is Alexis?” 

“She mentioned something about going to Joe’s Burgers.” Kate said with a resigned sigh, “Please don’t tell her that I told you.” 

She was barely done with her statement when I ended the call. What the fuck is Alexis doing in a place as dingy as Joe’s burgers? The girl doesn’t eat anything that

has more calories than a fucking sandwich. 

I didn’t really want to think about her girl shit so I just drove there. When I got there, her car wasn’t there but I noticed a brown truck that belonged to Booby and another car that looked suspiciously like Chris’- both were mutuals of ours. 

I made my way into the bar and sure enough there she was. She was sitting with Chris, Bobby and a few other people I recognized from school. I cleared my throat and their eyes came up to me. A few of them at least had the decency to look guilty but most of them just avoided my eyes entirely. 

“Did my invitation get lost in the mail?” I couldn’t keep the bite out of my voice. 

“We didn’t know if you were,” she trailed off, looking for the right term, “Free to leave the house yet.” 

I noticed her phone was right open next to her, “I see your phone is working perfectly fine too.” 

Guilt took over her features, “Excuse me guys,” she stood to her feet, “Do you mind if we go outside?” 

I scoffed and turned on my heels but I waited for her by my car. She stepped out and I took my time to rake my eyes over her outfit- a tight black latex dress, knee high boots and a jacket over it. 

“You look good,” I licked my lips and ran my hands over her waist, “What do you say we forget about all this and go back to my place?” 

I let my hands trail down to her ass and for the first time ever, she pushed them off. I stared up at her in shock. 

“We can’t do this Derek,” she looked uncomfortable as hell and that was when I noticed the fresh hickey on her neck that she had tried to cover up with makeup. 

“You started fucking another dude, didn’t you?” 

“Don’t turn this on me,” her eyes burned with fire, “You had a mate and you didn’t tell me. You told me that she threw herself at you and then you almost fought with the prince over her. Do you know how that looked to me?” 

“It wasn’t about you.”

“Right, of course,” she scoffed, “Well I’m not doing this with you Derek. I’m sorry. but I think you should leave.” 

She didn’t wait for my response, she just turned on her heels and made her way back into the diner. Through the window, I saw their conversation resume and I hated the feeling of rage that burned within me. 

Fuck them, I don’t need them either. 

got into my car and I didn’t even realize where I was going until I arrived at Justin‘ s house. He isn’t someone I would consider bright, but his parents have a secret stash of absinthe mixed with wolfs bane that is amazing for whenever I plan to get wasted. He isn’t exactly a friend but we have mutual interests sometimes. 

He must have seen me pull up because he opened the door before I even had the 

chance to knock. 

“You look like shit,” he said as way of greeting. 

“Right back at you,” 

Justin is skinny and sleazy, and he looks like he just crawled out of a sewer. His features are thin and lanky and he has a permanent scowl on his face which transformed into a crooked smile at my words. 

“I’ll get the hard stuff.” He retreated and returned with one bottle of absinthe. 

“We’re going to need more than that,” I said and he raised a brow, “Alexis just fucking dumped me in front of a sleazy diner.” 

“And then there were none,” he sing songed but he retrieved a second bottle, “What are you going to do about it?” 

“I’m going to make her life hell,” I promised as I took a swig straight from the bottle, “I have some pictures of her that would kill her if they got out. I might just let them slip into the wrong hands, who knows?” 

Justin barked out a laugh and I saw the barely concealed delight in his eyes. He loves chaos, in fact, he lives for it and knowing the chaos that will ensue from this must excite him. 

“I can’t wait to see how she will react when that happens,” he laughed, “But what

about the other bitch; I don’t know her name.” 

“Lyla,” I spat the name with barely concealed disdain.

I wouldn’t admit this to anyone but her eagerness to reject me stung. I everything she should want. I am successful and I am rich but she wasted no hesitation in rejecting me. Her friends have been avoiding me like the plague but whenever our paths cross, they give me smug looks and I want nothing more than to wipe it off their faces. 

“I can’t do anything,” the admission was bitter, “My folks banned me from interacting with her.” 

Justin sat up instantly, “Since when do you listen to your folks?” he snatched the bottle out of my hands, “If you want her then get her; don’t be a fucking pussy.” 

I snatched the bottle right out of his hands, “If you talk to me like that again I will ruin you,” he held up his hands in an apology, “But you’re right; I’m going to get that bitch back and I’ll make her suffer for leaving me.” 

“That’s more like it,” Justin cackled and clinked my bottle with his, “Now you’re sounding like a future Alpha.”
