Derek's POV
"Good morning" Mom wished as soon as I walked to the living room.
"Good Morning Mama" I hugged her.
"Where is dad?" I asked her while pulling away.
"There you go again. Is there any little space in your heart for your mom?" She asked me while narrowing her eyes
"Of course mom. Just kidding. Where is dad anyways?" I asked her again.
"Ugh... He is with Tyler and Elijah working about Today's Party" she rolled her eyes.
"Go have breakfast. Skye made your favorite s'mores crepe" Mom said while I nodded excitedly.
I walked a few steps but stopped and turned around.
"Mom?" I called her and raised her eyebrows, gesturing to go on.
"I love you'' I smiled while she smiled back.
The moment I reached the dining table my nostrils were filled with the aroma of s'mores crepe. I've been a fan of s'mores ever since I remember.
"Here is your food" Aunt Skye put a plate before me and my heart felt content looking at the s'mores crepe.
I cut a piece and ate a forkful of it. The marshmallows were perfectly toasted and the chocolate just melted right in. I moaned without even knowing.
"I take it as a compliment" Aunt Skye laughed and went back into the kitchen.
I sat there drowning myself in my most favorite taste on the entire planet. If I have to choose something beyond cherry pie then it's s'mores. Funny how mom doesn't even like cherry pie but ate it when she was pregnant with me.
I heard voices coming downstairs.
"Yeah... Isaac said that!!" Abigail squealed.
"Oh My Gosh!! That is so sweet" Rose's voice was dreamy.
They became silent as soon as they saw me at the dining table.
"If you don't stop dreaming about that stupid boy.. I'm gonna tear him up into pieces" I sternly said.
"You can't do that!!!" Abigail scoffed but I was serious.
She is getting a lot closer to that kid than needed. She is getting all dreamy and I don't even like it a bit. That Isaac kid is charming for a human and for his own good.
"I'm leaving." I said as soon as I was done with my breakfast.
"Kevin and Kian are with Rafael" Aunt Skye yelled from the kitchen.
They like him a lot. They always look out for him during training. So that's a given to find them with him if they aren't at the pack house. So I made my way to the training grounds.
Kevin and Kian were in a battle by the time I reached there. Being twins they are almost equal in war skills but somehow Kian's skills often catch my attention. I don't know the process of choosing the Beta because of the twin brothers..but if I gotta choose one then that would be Kian for sure.
And as predicted Kian won it just by a mere technique.
"Derek!" Uncle Rafael called and I made my way to him.
"How are you Uncle?" I asked him with a smile and he nodded.
"You are getting larger day by day," he said, looking at me strangely.
Well, I totally agree with it. As the days are nearing for me to hit the 18 year old mark.. the Alpha King's blood is finally kicking was what everyone says. And I refuse to believe because by the time I was born dad wasn't made the Alpha King. So I have only Alpha's blood and my transformation is still a mystery.
"Anyways... Have fun at the party today" He patted my back while I nodded with a smile.
I walked to Kevin and Kian who were laughing at some inner joke. They always have such things and no one knows what they talk about or think about.
"So... Are you ready for today?" Kevin asked me.
"Pretty much. I heard there will be a total of 200 Alphas with their heirs and few most powerful betas. Uncle Aaron arrived already. I can't wait to meet all these powerful people" I beamed.
I am always interested in pack things and how the supernatural world works. Werewolf life is considered supreme by us but we use our powers only to maintain peace between us and humans.
"Woah... That's so cool" Kian squealed.
Kian shares the majority of his interests with me. I can picture myself and him being the best Alpha King and Beta.
"Derek! Dad is calling you. He is at the pack house's office" Abigail yelled from afar with Rose tailing behind her.
I wonder if Abigail and Rose become mates!
I nodded at Kevin and Kian.. a gesture saying I'll see them later. I walked towards the pack house again and this time Uncle Aaron was watching Aunt Betty with such adoration that I wished Lana was here!
Woah there!! Why did Lana pop up in my mind out of blue!! What the f**k is happening?! She isn't even my mate!
"Hey Derek" a familiar voice brought me back to reality.
I smiled and hugged Aunt Betty instead of wishing her back. She laughed while patting my back. She is actually so sweet that I sometimes think of Rose, the luckiest girl on the planet. Of course.. next to Abigail. But, I take pride in being Jaxon Malloy’s son so the next moment, the thought of Rose being the luckiest girl on the planet flies through the window!
"Ok there little one. She is mine" Mr. Possessive Beta pulled her away from me.
I laughed and left them alone. By the time I entered the pack's office dad was seated and in his hands was some file that needed his signature on. Nothing in the werewolf world happens without his permission and I always admire my dad. He is the real hero!
"Ah Derek! Come.. there is something I need to tell you" his voice was new today.
Judging by his voice I understood two things. One... Whatever the topic he was about to tell me, is actually quite important. Because this voice base of dad... I never heard it. And the second thing is ,for some odd reason I have this feeling that something huge is gonna happen today. And I also have this gut feeling that this discussion is something related to that!
"Yes dad" I nodded.
"So.... It's Alpha Party today" he sighed and this isn't giving me a good feeling at all!
I nodded again.
"I want you to mingle with other Alpha heirs and know what it's like to be an Alpha. Always remember that you are Alpha to the Blood Moon Pack first and Alpha King to werewolves next" his voice was stern.
"I will," I said confidently.
I won't let my dad down!
But why do I feel like something is off with dad today? It's like he finally wants to take off some burden but I just can't figure it out! Just a few more hours and I'll figure it out myself. And whatever is bothering dad.. will end because I won't let it live anymore!
