Chapter 18

From Katlyn's point of view

Morning finally came, another annoying day for me. I woke up earlier than usual, knowing that Jessica had dawned at the mansion.

My mother had invited me to a dinner party at the house, but her only condition was that Derek be there. Given that, I knew her only reason for inviting me to the house was to tell her friends that her daughter was Alpha Derek's wife.

Fuck, just the thought of that made me feel nauseous. I had to talk to Derek and invite him, so I quickly got up and took a shower. After putting on a short dress, I walked to Derek's room.

I was standing in front of his bedroom door as I let out a light sigh. I didn't want to interrupt him, after all, I was pretty sure he would be fucking that slut.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but I clenched my fists and gathered my strength inside me. "Come on Katlyn, it's just an invitation" I said to myself.

Without hesitation, I knocked on the door a little, but at that moment the door opened. I arched an eyebrow and carefully stepped inside. I scanned all the fights, but found no trace of Derek.

At that, I frowned and turned to go down to the living room. However, before I took a step, I felt a strong hand grab my wrist and push my body against the wall.

"Ah" I gasped in pain at the sight of those dark, striking eyes in front of me.

I gasped as Derek's imposing figure crossed in front of me. I really didn't expect him to be there.

"Derek..." I said in a whisper.

He let out a faint smile as he looked at my face and licked his full lips. I could smell his hot, fragrant breath mixed with his body cologne and hair gel that was still semi-wet.

I couldn't help but look down and dry fucking swallow, my eyes rolling as I noticed his glistening abs with the little droplets of water running all the way south.

This man was fucking hot.

"What are you doing in my room?" He asked me in a husky, soft tone.

My cheeks reddened as his fingers suddenly stroked up and down my arms.

For a moment I had forgotten everything I was going to say. I just froze, before I shook my head.

"I, I, I came to..." I couldn't form the words properly, this man made me lose all my concentration.

"You came to what?" He asked mockingly.

In that instant I clasped my hands together and pushed him back as I pushed myself away from the wall and tried to compose myself.

"Derek, my parents have invited me to a dinner party, and they want you to go with me," I said without even being able to look him in the eye.

He knew my willpower, but I had never met someone who could break my words with just a sound from his lips.

Just knowing that he only had a towel wrapped around his waist, showing his V-shaped groin and his perfect abs made my body boil.

"Is that all?" I asked Derek to take a step towards me.

"Yes... that's... everything" I said, stuttering.

Derek let out a smile and taking a step closer, placed one of his hands on my waist. Fuck, I felt the warm touch of his skin against my cold skin.

"Derek, please pull away" I said in a whisper.

Despite my words, he didn't seem to pay attention and just turned my body until his chest was in front of mine.

"Ah yes? First tell me, what's in it for me if I join you for that dinner?" he asked as he smiled mischievously.

I couldn't help but swallow dryly as I admired his wild look.

"There's nothing. You're coming with me because you're my husband" I hinted, mustering all my courage.

Derek opened his eyes wide as a smirk left his lips. He seemed to be really enjoying this moment, he even squeezed my waist pulling my chest closer to him.

"Well, I'm your husband, I'll go with you, but, I do have a condition" He said, making me look at his face with intrigue.

"What?" I asked sarcastically.

"I want to taste your lips again"

I heard his words and I was about to push him away, but he took my lips against his, making my body freeze at his delicious taste.

His tongue entered my mouth roughly as he absorbed all my senses. I couldn't help but close my eyes and respond to his kiss. Finally my hands went to his neck and I pulled him tighter to my chest.

Fuck, I didn't know how to resist his tempting, luscious lips. I felt his hand run down my back to cup the end of my shirt. I knew Derek wanted to fuck me right there, but I quickly parted my lips and took a step back.

"Well, I'll... I'll wait for you outside, dinner will be at 6" I said before rushing out of the room.

I walked into my room and locked the door behind me as my breathing quickened. Her delicious scent was permeating my mouth, so I guided myself to wash my face roughly.

Damn, once again I was a weak girl who fell for this man's charms. It's as if his lips stole all my dignity and buried it in his full lips.

I wiped my face and looked at myself in the mirror. I needed to stay away from him for the rest of the day.

Soon the hours passed and it was time to get ready for dinner. I had spent the day avoiding Derek, so I wouldn't give in to his traps again. So I just got ready and took a shower.

I put on a leather skirt and a loose top. High boots and my hair was down. I really hated the meetings my family planned, but I had to do it.

When I was completely ready, I left my room to find Derek waiting for me in the hallway outside my room.

I stopped at my door as I groped him in his semi-formal clothes, his horse back hair and his natural red lips. I stopped moving my legs when our eyes met in a second.

His lips curved upwards in a slight smile making me quickly avert my gaze.

"Come on, it's getting late, today" He said, nodding his head.

I sighed in disbelief that he had such a calm attitude. However, I just nodded and walked out with him, I did the stationary.

As soon as we got in the car, Derek drove to my parents' house, but the whole way we were in complete silence. I didn't even want to talk to him, I just looked out the window at nine o'clock and sighed thinking about what would happen the rest of the night.

When he finally parked the car, I opened my eyes and walked to the entrance, but at that moment, Derek grabbed my waist and pulled me into his chest.

"Fuck derek.." I tried to say, but before I could finish my words, I saw a couple of familiar faces near me.

My heart hardened at their stares. Two faces that had ripped my heart to shreds. There was Marcus standing next to my former best friend, and my sister Katherine.

All 3 turned to me when they realized I was close. However, their eyes widened in surprise when they saw alpha Derek with his hands on my waist.

"Wow, I didn't know that bastard was" Derek said as he squeezed my waist tightly.

I heard his words but all my attention was on the bitch next to Marcus, who also happens to be Katherine's best friend.

"Katlyn!" My sister shouted as soon as she saw me.

I faked a smile and hugged her tightly as she ran to me.

Violet, on the other hand, looked down, making me shake my head.
