Chapter 29


Eric 

I had to let the girls do what they could but I was really happy that Amara was helping her through this period. I mean, there could not have been anyone better than my daughter at all this. But as I sat down on my study, I could not help but start reflecting on what had happened today. I could not believe myself that I had really wanted to fight for this thing that I was feeling for Dera. It was almost as if there was a force of nature that was pushing me so much that I had to go on and tell her how I felt. What had I been thinking at that point? Hearing Amara's voice right now really made me worried. I had made a promise to her and it was one sealed that I would stay true to her and have no one else around to compete for attention against her.

Now, I have totally lost it. It was clear that I had lost it when I kissed her again. I should have avoided that but part of me really wanted to and hence, I too wanted to. I now realised that I needed to figure a way around this. The main problem was what Amara would think of all this? Well, if Dera could do me the favour and stay away, maybe I might be able to convince myself that I should reject her. It would be done secretly and I would have had nothing else to fear.

Who knows, she might finally get someone that would love her as she deserves and I would access him myself. I would build her an empire and set her feet so high above everyone and anyone that seeks to become like her. Well, that seemed like wishful thinking to me but that was all true.

It was then that I heard the ruckus in the sitting room. I wanted to get up immediately and go after her but I knew that would make Amara wonder why I was so engrossed with their matters. I stood up and I found myself pacing around my study as I listened. Gosh! Dera was definitely really broken and as she was panicking and speaking, I was here myself with the anger building up. I was going to destroy Alpha Issac and I would include Alpha Lucian in the games. He had been the originator of all the pain that she had to endure. He could have loved and treated his daughter right and that way, anyone else that was coming around her would want to treat her perfectly right.

He had ruined her. I could not take it anymore and I started walking out but as I approached, I could hear no more of her screaming around and I came to find that Amara was embracing her. It was definitely what I would have done in that situation and I could not have been more proud. She looked up and she saw me standing there in the dark but she had the face of a mother that had everything under control. She signalled to me and I went back into my study. Feeling okay now that I knew Dera was getting the love she needed at the moment.

I went inside there and I started to think of what I needed to do next. I had to come up with something that would bring an end to the pride of Alpha Isaac and of course bring more reproach to Alpha Lucian. I needed both of them to feel my wrath and how hard it could end for anyone who goes out of their way to create chaos for people I hold dear.

Well, I started coming up with a plan. One that I believed would teach the lot of them but it might eventually have me coming out. I would throw an arm of friendship to one of them that would force the other to mistrust his counterpart. This way, they would have felt the necessary pain that they needed to feel. Before all that, I would bring them down to their barest minimum. Thinking of all these things suddenly started making something clear to me. It was only a little thing that would make one snap eventually. All it took was anger and a lot of bad thoughts. That way, one would have felt so much desire to create pain without having to be the actual recipient of their initial horrors.

Amara came inside and that totally pulled me away from my thoughts. She had come with a request as now, Dera was peaceful. That was really good but she wanted me to take her inside. It felt like the more I was trying to keep my emotions at bay for Dera, the more Amara seems to be the one bringing us together. What if this was the moon goddess' own little way of bringing us back to each other? What if she wanted to show that Amara was the one that I should be looking to as a sign? Well, it would be really nice that one day she decides that I was best for Dera. That would mean so much to me though.

Well, I agreed with her and then it suddenly struck me that there were pills Dera should take. I definitely did not want the offspring of that asshole growing inside of her and I was really disappointed when Amara confirmed that she had forgotten. However, she reassured me that there was a 72 hour window and she would get it done in the morning. I agreed with her and decided that I would check back in the morning to make certain it was done.

As my daughter left, I could not help but feel a sense of pride swell inside of me. I wanted to yell that I was gifted with the best daughter in the world but I held it inside. I probably would sing her praises on the day she gets married. I could only pray that the moon goddess herself would help make it possible that she finds her own mate.

When my daughter left, I realised how restless I was. I wanted to get going already to go check on Dera. It was almost as if I had this desire and I needed to go. Seeing that I could not hold it inside anymore, I started walking out of my study and back to the sitting room. She was laying down on the floor, covered properly with the blanket and sleeping soundly. I did not want to wake her yet as I wend over to the closest couch and sat down there watching her with keen eyes. She looked even more peaceful as she slept and well, covered also in ice cream that melted and gave her this arousing wet look. Well, I did not have my boner here or I would have a hard time explaining to Amara if she walked in on it.

For the longest time, I was there and soon, I decided she was deep asleep enough and went over as I scooped her into my arms. I hesitated so she would not wake before I finally started moving and I headed straight to her bedroom. I laid her on the bed and then removed the blanket she was being covered with as I covered her with the one on her bed. She looked so beautiful and I realised I could not leave. For a moment, I sat down there like a creep, watching her before leaning over to kiss her on the cheek. Then I started rising up slowly to leave when she held onto my shirt.

I looked at her in shock. Was this reflex or was she awake?

"Dera? Are you awake?" I whispered as I looked at her face for any signs at all.

There was nothing. She was asleep and probably it was her wolf having the need for me to stay. Once again, I sat down and then removed her hand from my shirt gently as I held it in mine. I was overcome by emotions at this point from just watching her and all I wanted was for her to open her beautiful eyes.

If staring at a person could be an addiction, then I should be the first patient being treated. I was there for a really long time and then I went over slowly to the door, after resisting the urge to mark her and I was beginning to open the door slowly.

"Good night, Dera." I whispered as I left, closing the door behind me.

Usually, I might have wanted to call on some woman that I would cool off with but this time, I went straight to my bedroom. The memory of what had happened sticking like glue. Her scent lingered on my body and I felt really happy. I started telling myself that her hold onto me was definitely a sign that she wanted me too. My thoughts were rippling until I finally fell asleep.

I had a dream that night. It has been a while since I had such a dream and she had brought it all back with her arrival. It was me and her basking in the moonlight when suddenly a face started coming out of the moon. It was my wolf. I would recognize that asshole anywhere.

'Mark her, Eric!' He yelled.
