In love with the broken alpha

Chapter 2

DEREK P.O.V

“How many times have I warned her to stop messing with my stuff,” I said to myself angrily barging into my room as I took up a glass of wine from the table. “It is better she rot inside there with her bastard son,” I took a sip of the drink and just then I was interrupted by a knock on my room door. “Who is that!” I exclaimed and Daniel, my personal assistant, walked inside the room.

“Alpha Derek,” he called to have my attention.

“I’m not Derek you i***t!” I shouted at his face and he furrowed his eyebrows in fright.

“Hector,” he mumbled.

“So you knew my name all along,” I hissed. “I wonder why everyone is just being so annoying, especially your stupid Derek. I feel terrible that I have to share the same body with that pathetic weakling.”

“Derek is not a weakling. You are just one of his naïve personalities and should be grateful that he gave you a body to live in,” he said in a rude manner as anger flared up in my inside, I was about to lash out on him when I felt a sharp headache and I staggered to a chair close by. “No, help me please,” I whispered, reaching my hand out to him but as he approached to hold me I blanked out.

*Derek*

I opened my eyes and the first person I saw was my personal assistant and favourite beta werewolf Daniel staring at me in a worried manner. “Are you alright?” he asked cautiously with fear all over his face and at that moment I knew that one of my personalities had shown up, that was the face Daniel always gives me whenever he meets my other side and from the looks of it I knew that I must have done something terrible.

“Hector.”

“No, it’s me Derek,” I interrupted and he heaved a sigh of relief. “What happened and how long have I been gone?” I asked and he frowned with a horrible look on his face.

“I have no idea how long you have been gone, but this time it’s really bad,” he replied. “Hector locked your mate and your son in a basement.”

“What!” I exclaimed and without waiting to hear the remaining details I ran out of the room but on getting to the basement I found it empty, neither my son nor wife was there. My heart began racing as many questions kept running through my mind. “Where are they, where is my mate and son?” I turned around to face Daniel who was as confused as I was. “Why are you silent?”

“I have no idea Alpha Derek, I returned from my trip only to learn from one of the maids that you had locked them up,” he replied and those words sent a wave of bitterness crawling through my veins. I ran my hand through my hair as I used the stairs up my pack mansion until I arrived at the large balcony facing my garage. I looked downwards and there I saw my mate and my son attempting to escape the pack mansion. I wanted to stop them but I couldn’t get myself to do it, it was for the best that she was leaving. Everyone who finds out my secret always leaves and my wife just did the same thing to me except that in her case she doesn’t know the kind of monster that I am.

“I should go after them immediately,” Daniel said with fear in his eyes and I stopped him.

“No, she will be safer if she leaves, so let her go,” I said to him and the tears I fought so hard to hold back poured down my eyes. My mate was the most resilient and determined woman I have ever met and there was no challenge that the two of us will never get past together, we did it before and that is why watching her flee the mansion hurt so much. I didn’t know if I could ever recover from her absence but I knew that without her the darkness would steal me away. It was the moment she stepped into my life that everything about me changed and all my childhood trauma vanished.

“Alpha Derek, are you sure about this? She is the only one that keeps Salvador away, and we both know how dangerous that personality can be,” Daniel sounded more persuasive but I still held my peace.

“I know but keeping her here will always put her and my son in danger and I can’t keep using her as a tool to ease my pain,” I replied and after another glance at him I returned to my room. I settled down on the sofa chair as I poured myself a glass of drink and taking a sip of the drink I recalled the night she took in with our little boy, that was one of the best days of my entire life, apart from cuddling her in my arms I recalled taking her to the top of the Eiffel tower and our date that night was the most beautiful time I ever had since the day my mother passed away. It was one of the reasons why we named our boy Benjamin, and watching my son get older, I had always enjoyed his company, he is smart, funny, and cute but throughout this time I was afraid because I had always known that one day I will make a mess of everything but I didn’t know that it will happen so soon. I thought we will remain together a little longer. I thought whatever challenges we will face will be external but little did I know that my personalities will be the ones to deprive me of my love.

What did they do to you Isabella? What did those monsters do to you that made you hate me so much to the extent you had to run away from me? I thought to myself as my eyes burned in pain. “Perhaps it was for the best, perhaps I was meant to be alone for the remaining days of my life, maybe falling in love and mating you was a mistake, maybe I was meant to be lost in the dark forever. Yet I still choose to love you even if it means letting you go, I will gladly give in to the darkness to ensure that my monsters never come another step close to you, even if it’s the last gift you ever receive from me my love.”
