Chapter 80: Share a room together

Victoria's POV

''Hey.'' I felt a gentle tap on my left shoulder which made me grumbled and forcefully opened my eyes only to come face to face with alpha Derick.

''Shit.'' I blurted out when I remembered where I was.

''Stay calm.'' He smiled widely at me and loosened my belt. I peeped through the window and realized we were no longer on the air, rather we've already landed. Which got me curious if we landed in a nearby country because of the bad weather.

''Where are we?'' I asked

''San Francisco darling.'' He held my two hands and lifted me up from my seat, while I just stared at him with shocked eyes and slightly opened mouth.

''What?'' He asked

''You mean I slept for over six hours.'' I asked in disbelief, Which made Alpha Derick chuckled and led me out of the jet.

We stepped out of the Jet and I noticed we were parked in a Private parking space because there were no planes around, only two black Mercedes cars were parked in a corner.

''Welcome alpha Derick, my name is Sam the Beta to alpha Timothy.'' A young dark man introduced himself while he slightly lowered his head in respect for alpha Derick.

''Nice to meet you Sam, how many hours drive to get to your pack.'' Alpha Derick asked while he opened the car for us to go in.

''Two hours and few minutes,'' Sam responded, while Alpha Derick just nodded his head in response.

Sam sat at the front seat with the driver while alpha Derick sat beside me in the back seat and the car drove off.

''Are you hungry?'' He asked.

''No, I'm fine.'' I replied and fixed my gaze on the window.

I was still shocked and thrilled that I could sleep that long in a plane, and would have slept more if alpha Derick did not wake me up.

''Were you also asleep.'' I asked my wolf

''For a while, yes.'' She replied.

''But I knew he held your hand for six hours until the plane landed and even let you sleep for a while after the plane had already landed.'' She spoke up.

Hearing those words from her, I moved my gaze to alpha Derick and met eyes with him, but quickly looked away.

''Give him a chance, he really loves you.'' My wolf begged, but I shook my head in disbelief.

''Maybe he wants me because of my abilities.'' I argued.

''Argh! Don't be silly, didn't you know he searched for you for months when he discovered you were his real mate, and he did not even know you have gotten your wolf and abilities.'' My wolf defended him, but I shook my head and shut her away from me. she was filling my head with nonsense.

''You are burning, are you okay.'' Alpha Derick asked while he placed the back of his palm on my forehead, but I shoved it away and moved to the other extreme of the car.

The two hours drive was a silent one until I noticed we drove into a Town.

Without being told, I knew this was a habitat for werewolves, because the town was surrounded with huge trees and bushes on each side of the road.

''What is the name of this place.'' I asked, directing those questions to Sam

''fortitude town and also the black woods pack.'' He replied

''Oh.'' I exclaimed, and moved my gaze around.

The town wasn't as green and big as Agora town, but the atmosphere surrounding it was comforting.

Few minutes after entering the town I noticed we drove into a building and without being told, I knew this was where the alpha stays.

The building wasn't a mansion like alpha Derick's home, but it was a three-story building painted with a gray color and beautifully designed.

Alpha Derick came out of the car and stepped aside from me to come out

''Thanks.'' I whispered while he just nodded his head, which made me felt bad for reacting the way I did few hours ago.

''Alpha Derick, welcome, welcome.'' I heard a happy male voice and moved my gaze to the direction of the voice and realized it was a young man who should be in his mid-twenties.

He was putting in a faded blue jean and a white T-shirt while few buttons were left opened revealing his muscular chest.

''Hey Timothy.'' Alpha Derick greeted with a quick smile.

''I'm so happy to have the popular alpha Derick in my home.'' He spoke with a welcoming smile on his face before moving his gaze to me.

''She…'' He muttered out shocked

''Meet Victoria, my mate.'' Alpha Derick, introduced me while I brought forth my hand for a handshake, but he held my hand and placed a kiss on it and smiled at me.

''You never told me the chosen one was your mate.'' He spoke up

''Well, she was coming here, so I see no need for it.'' Alpha Derick replied, pissed.

''I get it, let's all go in.'' He smiled at both of us and led the way into his home.

We entered the sitting room, and both sat on the couch beside each other while they served us drinks and refreshments.

I sat and listened to alpha Derick and Alpha Timothy's discussion and realized they were both university schoolmates and alpha Timothy was a year ahead of him.

I noticed alpha Derick checked his wristwatch and Tiredly heaved a sigh

''It's past 9pm, we need to retire to bed early, considering the gathering is set for 9am.'' Alpha Derick Said those words and stood on his feet while I did the same.

''My Servant will show you your room, goodnight alpha Derick.'' He shook hands with alpha Derick and smiled at me, while I did the same and followed the maid upstairs.

Our room was the second room on the second floor. We got in and noticed our luggage were already arranged in the room.

I heaved a sigh and stared around the room. The room was big and neatly arranged, but there was only one bed, which got me worried.

''You can sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the couch.'' He said those words like he was reading through my thought.

I moved my gaze around and stared at the one-seater couch and realized it would be too small and inconvenient for him to sleep on.

''We will share the bed.'' I couldn't believe I said those words, but I just blurted it out, took out my nightwear from my box and went into the bathroom.

I put on the shower and took a cold bath, wondering what it would feel like sleeping on the same bed with alpha Derick.

Quickly, I took off those thoughts from my head and came out of the shower.

I dried my body with a towel and put on my nightwear, which was a top and short.

I strolled back into the room and noticed alpha Derick was already stripped naked right In front of me, which made me gulped and looked away.

He didn't say a word, rather, he went into the bathroom and did not bother to shut the door.

''Fuck.'' I took in a deep breath, sat in front of the mirror and dried my hair with a hand dryer, but that did not stop me from hearing the sound of the shower, which made me uncomfortable imagining his naked body dripping water in my head.

''Urgh!.'' I blurted out and quickly packed my hair in a bun.

I heard the shower stopped running and knew he was done taking his bath.

Quickly I rushed to the bed, and lay on the right side of the bed, covered myself with a blanket and tightly closed my eyes.

I heard his footsteps in the room, but I did not dare to open my eyes.

I swallowed nervously and tried forcing myself to sleep, but then I felt a hot breath on my face. Curiously, I opened my eyes and met his face so closed to mine that our faces were just an inch apart.

''What…''

''I can hear your pounding breath in my head. Seems you are nervous, are you okay?'' He teased, which made me slightly pushed him away and covered my face with the blanket.

I heard his loud chuckle, and then I noticed he climbed on the bed and lay on the other side of the bed.

The room was silent and only my nervous and heavy breathing could be heard in the room, which annoyed me.

''Go to sleep.'' He spoke up after several minutes of silence.

''What about you?'' I asked while taking the blanket off my face.

''I will fall asleep when I feel you are safe enough.'' He muttered out those words in a serious tone. Which made me moved my gaze to him and noticed he was laying flat on the bed with his back, while his two arms were wrapped around the back of his neck.

I noticed he was in deep thought and wore a worried look on his face, which got me curious.

''Is everything alright.'' I asked

''Yeah, you have nothing to worry about.'' He replied while his gaze were fixed on the ceiling.

''Liar.'' I murmured, but he heaved a sigh, tightly closed his eyes and totally ignored me.

Angrily, I turned to the other side of the bed and turned my back on him while I forced myself to sleep, but I knew his eyes were opened and his gaze were fixed on me.
