Derrick's pov
They went to over four packs to search but they would not let them in. Fred was correct; the rejection came as soon as they said they were trying to find Derrick's mate. The Alphas shielded their females from him, preferring that they not mate. Because of his unconventional lifestyle, he was viewed as an outcast by the other members of his species. Indeed, he hoped that everyone would respect their personal space. That was always asking too much of werewolves, though.

Rosalie was her name. She is the chosen mate
