THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Shane watched the duo in front of him spring apart at his voice, and smiled.

He remembered they were holding hands when he walked into the kitchen and concluded that this would be the beginning of an interesting affair, which he would be delighted to watch.

He couldn’t wait to see his soon to be alpha smitten over a human girl, although he couldn’t help but wonder whether she was his mate or he was just attracted to her. Whichever one, he hasn’t ever looked at a girl twice, so this drama would be too sweet to miss, Shane concluded.

He had watched her trip Derek, and the look on Derek’s face when Clem touched her. And one thing he was so sure about was that the girl intrigued Derek.

Damn! She intrigued him too. She had looked so hot when she performed that acrobatics on Derek. So hot.

Looking at them now, both scratching their necks nervously, he chuckled.

When Derek heard Shane chuckling, he cursed silently as he knew that Shane wouldn’t let him be when they got home. His gamma was a damn teaser.

He looked at Emma to see her staring at the ceilings. If he didn’t know what had happened earlier between them, he would have thought she was really interested in the ceilings. But he knew, and he was again intrigued by this strange girl. No other girl has caught his fancy, maybe because they were all busy fawning over him. He had never dated, just flings here and there. But the new human girl, Emma, intrigued him. He even feels weird around her, and Maru even confirms her as his mate.

“But Father wouldn’t approve of this.” Derek muttered to himself. Knowing that although the mate bond was something honorable, his father might ask him to reject her, because she’s a human. He wouldn’t want a weak mate for the pack.

They had a lot of upcoming battles to fight, especially with the White wind pack, and a human Luna might be a liability instead of a help to him.

Emma looked down from the ceilings that she had suddenly found interesting to see Derek mutter continuously to himself, and wished she could know what was going in his mind.

She watched how his lips moved, and for a second there was an alien thirst within her to taste it. It was an impulse, but a strong one.

“No no,” She mused. The guy was a jerk. There’s no way it could happen.

But in no time at all, her eyes found their way to Derek’s lips. And this time around, his eyes caught hers, and she looked elsewhere. Damn those deep blue eyes, Emma cursed silently. His eyes were the deepest shade of blue she had ever seen.

She looked up to see Shane still chuckling, and thought she was doubly doomed. Now someone else caught on the tension. Fucking great! Emma thought.

“Derek, what are you saying? Should we start up ” He had asked.

“Yeah, there’s a lot to be done,” Derek replied.

Emma wondered what she would be doing as the guys worked, she didn’t know how to clean. But Derek saved her from the uncomfortable thought plaguing her.

“Emma, you could take a stroll around, just get around to know the place, and maybe get us some food if you’re not cold-hearted.” He had said, with a funny look on his face, obviously taunting her.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Emma loved the way her name sounded on his lips, and maybe that was why she had bit back her reply, which she knew would be so sarcastic, and just replied in affirmative.

This seemed to surprise him, Emma noticed. Taking in his widened eyes and scrunched up eyebrows, she smiled, a little. It felt so good knocking him off the balance.

She skipped around the broken plates on the floor and left the two guys in the kitchen, knowing fully well that they were watching her keenly as she went.

This made her nervous, and she faltered on her steps as she walked towards the master bedroom, where she had kept her purse when she was touring the room on her arrival to the house earlier.

As she went, she whispered greetings to the new guys that came around to help. They responded to her greetings with looks of open curiosity.

A look, she noticed on Derek’s face earlier, including Clem, and she wondered why. But they were all handsome, she thought, but not more handsome than…

‘No no,’ Emma rubbed her forehead.

“You shouldn’t be thinking of him like that, he’s the enemy.” She peptalked herself as she went, but her mind had its own will.

‘His lips, his voice, his strength as he held her, his… no no,” Emma mused, cutting off her thought.

“The new human girl is quite beautiful and unpredictable. Don’t you think so?” Shane queried Derek, as Emma left.

“Yeah, she is.” Derek muttered. He had been so sure of a comeback from her when he had indirectly called her a cold hearted. But she had just replied in affirmative. He wondered what stopped her, and realized in a jerking speed, that he had wanted her comeback so much.

“She’s so intriguing too. Don’t you think so?” Shane continued smiling.

“Yeah.” Derek replied. He knew that Shane wouldn’t give up, and could easily tire him out if he didn’t reply.

“Do you think she is a spy? You know this area is only reserved for us. Would you tell your father?” Shane asked worriedly now.

Derek looked up at his friend, and affirmed thoughtfully that it would be a problem if his father finds out that a human was staying around the area reserved for werewolves specially. And surprisingly he didn’t want the little witch to face his father’s questioning gaze, he felt protective of her.

“That’s because she’s our mate,” Maru said tiredly.

“I don’t know that. But I will, in a month’s time.” He thought back.

” But I’ve already confirmed it. Would you rather wait till you’re 18 in a month? What if someone else claims her then? Perhaps another human?” Maru asked.

The thought of another guy with the little witch made Derek growl.

“Hey, why are you growling?” Shane asked, walking closer to him.

“Nothing, just thought of something,” Derek replied, surprised that he had actually growled loudly.

“What? You thought of her and Clem right?” Shane asked, smiling.

Derek scoffed.

“Clem wouldn’t dare.” He said, now growling again unknowingly.

“You like her then?” Shane commented with a smirk

“Yes I…” Derek paused, and glared at Shane who was now walking out of the kitchen laughing.

He roughed his hairs widely, and cursed himself silently, for he knew deep down that the new girl had already laid a hold on his heart.

He liked her. The acknowledgement of this made him curse again.

“Traitor heart.” He muttered, as he walked out of the kitchen.
