Derek Hale |
DEREK PACED BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIVING ROOM OF THE PACK HOUSE. He had gotten out of the pack meeting early only to find out his lovely mate decided to leave the community. Without any thought of telling him or asking for permission. He was both extremely worried and furious. Worried about her safety knowing Xavier and Gerard were out there. Furious because she knew the rules and disobeyed him. Again.
The last thing he wanted was to backtrack in their relationship. He was getting better at controlling his wolf and being extremely lenient with her. Still with her life and the community at jeopardy, he had every right to use his power to control her. He's rather her be mad at him than find her dead. The thought alone terrified and infuriated him.
His eyes immediately darted to her walking in with Jamie right behind her. His first instinct was to yell at her and flip out. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and buried his face into her neck to inhale her scent. It relaxed him but still his wolf was growling at her for leaving without telling him.
"I expected you to scream at me," She mumbled, wrapping her arms around his torso and closing her eyes at the warmth surrounding her.
"Trust me, I wanted to. But I'm learning to be better. For us." He spoke quietly to her, giving Jamie a pointed look as to say he would deal with him later. The beta nodded, glancing at Azalea before leaving the pack house.
She frowned, "I'm sorry. I just needed to get out and do something on my own even though Jamie came with me."
"I know you hate being stuck here in one place but I can't risk anything happening to you. Once the whole thing with Xavier is done, everything will go the way it should've." He peeled himself away from her, cupping her cheeks in his warm hands.
"Does this means I'm on lockdown again?" She asked.
He nodded making her pout and push his hands off of her. He huffed at her reaction shaking his head. "Azalea, please just trust me. I promise as soon as Xavier is taken care of it'll be okay and back to normal."
"Nothing in my life will ever be normal again!" She cried out, running her fingers through her golden brown hair as she let out a sigh.
He was taken back by her outburst, her words hurting him slightly. "I–I'm sorry." He felt a mixture of hurt and guilt swarming him.
"I didn't mean it like that, Derek." She shook her head.
"How else could you have meant it then?" He snapped at her while sending a glare in her direction. "I'm sorry I ruined your life, Azalea. I really am. I'm sorry the universe chose us to be mates. There's nothing I can do about that!"
