Indeed, Derek came at the perfect time, even though I was panicking watching him tear those men apart, I was so grateful that he had saved me from a horrible end.






I looked at him for a second in silence, before taking a step forward "Derek, can we go back?" I said, trying to break the awkward silence.




He smiled and held out his hand for me to walk back to my family's house... our steps were short, as the snow fell on our heads.




"Katlyn..." He said softly.




"Yes?" I asked, turning to meet his eyes.




"Do you want me to kill Marcus for you?" He asked with a matter-of-fact tone.




As soon as I heard those words my eyes opened like two plates. My legs lost their balance and I staggered forward to fall, but suddenly two strong arms held me making my body tremble with excitement.




Derek had his arms around my waist before straightening my body and joining his chest. My eyes met his perfect face as my thoughts were consumed by his undeniable attractiveness.


Shit, I wanted to turn my gaze from him, but I just held back. I wanted to see his face all the fucking time. His eyes were so provocative and his lips were so full and soft.




"Katlyn..." He murmured my name again.




I had never noticed how exquisite my name sounded in his husky voice until that moment.




At that moment I shook my head and cursed myself. What the fuck is going through my mind? How could I think this way about this man?




"Come on. Let's go back" I insinuated, giving me the bill to go to my parents' house.




I tried my best to put all those thoughts out of my mind, but I could feel him walking behind me. I could imagine his masculine bearing and his manhood shaking like a fucking Adonis.




"Next time don't go anywhere without me, understand?" He said in a serious tone.
I didn't even bother to answer him. I just kept walking while he followed me without saying a word. This man changed his mood quite quickly, which made me feel a little uncomfortable but relieved at the same time.




Derek remained silent until we reached the family home. In the living room stood my mother and father, looking at us with a menacing expression.




I swallowed dryly and turned my gaze to Derek, who has his furious expression. I looked back at my parents and took a deep breath as I let out a gasp that everyone heard.




Next to my parents was my sister who kept glancing flirtatiously at Derek. I rounded my eyes and saw Marcus and Violet, their gazes fixed on my frustrated face.




I clenched my fists feeling the shock of being in front of these bastards again, but I soon fought with myself to calm down and nodded to myself.




"Alpha Derek, welcome to our home" My father said, greeting Derek.




My mother reached out her hand to shake Derek's, but in response Derek just waved and nodded.
"Katlyn, we're going home right now" Derek said, making my eyes widen like two saucers.




"What? Why? We haven't even started dinner yet!" Katherine hinted at walking towards us.




Derek grabbed my wrist and took a step to drag me to the exit, but at that moment, Katherine grabbed his other arm "You can't leave yet..." She said.




Apparently she didn't care that Derek was my husband, which made me frown in annoyance.




At that moment, Derek pulled his hand away from my sister's, "We'll leave. And don't you ever touch me again. I don't care if you're my wife's sister, she won't hesitate to end your life if you stop me again" Derek said with a threatening tone.




She took a step back as she swallowed saliva. She looked down sadly at me, making my heart shrink.




"Sister, I swear I'll come back another day and we'll spend time together..." I said.
However, despite my words, Katherine only made a dismissive gesture and turned her attention back to Derek. At that, I felt anger consume my senses. Was this what I was imagining?
Katherine was staring at Derek as if she was obsessed with him. But the strangest thing was the pang of pain it was causing me. I wanted to go up to her and punch her face to get her to stop going to Derek, but what was in it for me?




Derek wasn't even really my husband. We're just pretending a meaningless marriage, he didn't love me and I didn't love him.




"See you later Katlyn, and alpha Derek" She said, making deer eyes at Derek.
She wanted to come over and give us a hug, but Derek dragged me towards the exit and we quickly got into his car. I hovered in mid-air as Derek walked towards the mansion.


On the way there was an awkward silence, I didn't want to say anything, after all Derek seemed to be in a horrible mood. Besides, the way he was acting made me feel confused.




I didn't know what was going through his mind, but he showed me that he did care about me. Almost an hour later, Derek finally parked the car in the mansion's car park.




He got out of the car and quietly opened the door for me and then we went to the poop together. As I walked up the stairs to my room, Derek looked back at me.
"Come with me to my room" He said in a soft whisper.




I froze when I heard him insulate that, "Why?" I asked anxiously.


He just smiled and took my hand before leading me beside him to his room. In fact, I wasn't sure if I would be alone with him in his room, but my legs moved as if they guided themselves.




My heart was beating fast, as his masculine scent permeated every corner of his room. As soon as I entered the room, I heard Derek lock the door behind him, making him turn around with a jerk.




"What... What are you doing?" I asked, backing away.
