THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Derek dropped another awe-stricken look on Emma as he drove towards the party venue, negligent of the amused look on his cousin’s face, and a skeptical one on his gamma’s face.

“Derek honey, drive..” Emma said, battling her eyelashes at her drooling boyfriend whom she thought looked so dashing in a three piece suit.

She had caught him stealing glances at her; she liked it so much but she also wanted to get to the party in one piece.

She smiled, as she watched him gulped into nothing, before looking ahead.

Taking a glimpse at the rearview mirror, she saw Maya giving her a thumbs up, to which she blushed at. She could feel their closeness getting deeper; and they had just met two days ago.

‘That’s the same with June though.’ Her mind taunted her, causing a worried shade to cross her facial features.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Maya would betray her as June did. She hoped not.

“You okay?” She heard Maya whisper into her ear, and shuddered; she hadn’t seen her coming.

“Yeah, I’m good.” She said, after a nod; also noticing that Derek was staring at her with a concerned look and Shane…

The dude was staring at Maya’s ass!!

“Shane!!” She shrieked, pushing back Maya slightly so that the blonde could fall back on her seat; for she had bent forward in the process of inquiring for Emma’s welfare, causing her ass to slightly stick in the air.

“What!” Shane asked, not yet understanding why the beauty in front of him was calling out his name in such a way. Staring at her flaming deep green eyes which he found fascinating, he now understood why his two friends were fighting over her, even though she was a human; the redhead was breathtakingly beautiful!

Earlier that night when he had seen her, he had been dumbstruck, totally stupified; something he rarely was, that he never knew when he had mouthed ‘bless me.’

He had been expecting a knock from her possessive boyfriend, and his soon to be alpha but when he recovered himself to check his friend, he could swear that he had seen him drooling; like literally, with the drippings and all that. But of course he had held his tongue, well the human did with her appearance; without touching his lips.

Her appearance was elegant. With her full mass of red hair which she had let down to reach her waist, he had thought that she looked like a Queen who knew her onions, and who never bowed to anyone. She had looked fiery, red hot! The black gown had also complemented her figure beautifully, gathering her assests in the right places.

He had known then that if given the opportunity to have her, he wouldn’t say no.

“Why were you staring at Maya’s ass?”

Her voice cut into his thoughts, shaking him up.

“What?” He asked, embarrassed at being caught in his lame act.

“You heard me the first time.” She said, turning properly to face him from the front seat which Derek had insisted that she stayed in, after much arguments; she had wanted to sit in the backseat with Maya.

“Well….” He stuttered, feeling a bit jittery under the hot angry gazes of his three friends, especially since Derek swerved the car to the other side of the road and parked. He knew he should have controlled his line of vision. Damn him! He thought. Now they would think he was a pervert, when he was totally far from that. It had just been a mistake.

“Shane….” He heard Derek called, and sighed. He was really in for it.

“That I allowed you to be my cousin’s date for the night doesn’t mean you should abuse some privileges.” Derek continued, not happy in the list, after hearing from his little witch what she had seen his gamma doing. He had been taken aback, knowing that his gamma was a comedian and not a pervert. But he knew he still had to address the issue for his mate’s sake; noting to ask his gamma later about what had pushed him to stare at his cousin’s ass.

“I know. I’m sorry.” Shane muttered, his face drooping down.

” I’m not the one you should be apologising to… Apologize to Maya.” Derek stated, kick-starting his car again.

“Maya, I’m sorry. It wasn’t intentional.” Shane muttered, holding Maya’s hand in the process.

Emma thought they looked cute together. She wondered if it would be okay to pair them together. The idea seemed good to her, that she didn’t know when a smile broke out on her lips.

“Why are you smiling?” Derek asked, an amused look on his face, as he watched his mate smiling bleefully at the scene of his gamma apologizing to his cousin.

What was her little brain conceiving now? He thought, already having an idea on what she might be thinking.

Well he would have to bust it to her sooner or later though. His gamma couldn’t be with his cousin. They aren’t mates. Leo was her mate. Shane hadn’t found his yet. He had turned 18, during the summer.

“Well, she doesn’t know that.” He heard Maru say, and sighed. What now? He thought.

“When would you tell her about us?” Maru queried, ignoring his vague thought.

” It’s too early for that.” He replied.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Too early? It’s almost a week since you guys met.” Maru whined.

“Exactly. Too early.” He stated through the mind link.

“I think you should let her know now. I don’t want to say ‘I told you so.’ later.” Maru muttered.

“You won’t get to.” Derek said, in all surety.

“Derek!!”

Derek snapped out of his conversation with his wolf when he heard his little witch’s voice.

Blinking and refocusing on her, he sighed. She must have thought that he had spaced out on her. He thought; noticing the shrugs Maya and Shane gave him.

“What are you thinking about? I’ve been calling you for ages!” She said, with a pout. And he had to stop himself from smiling, especially when he saw his gamma rolling his eyes at her use of ‘ages.’

“I’m sorry.” He said, looking ahead and noticing that they were actually in the street where the party was going on.

“But..” Emma said, wanting to know what had taken her man’s mind off her.

“I was thinking of you.” He said, cutting her statement short.
