Chapter 4 4

Mindy

I reached for my cell phone as soon as he nodded. The question is, "Derek, where have you gone?" Derek answered my call immediately, who sounded as if he had been waiting for me to call.

"Dear Darling, I'm on my way to your house. Is it okay with you if I meet you somewhere and drive you?" Derek had approached me with the question.

"No, just wait for me outside the gate to my house; entering without my permission is strictly prohibited... This is something I need to do to surprise my brother." I informed Derek of the situation.

"All right, sweetie, do whatever you want. Don't be late. I've already missed you a lot. I adore you, sweetheart." Derek said to me.

His kooky demeanor irritated me. I couldn't stop thinking about how much I disliked that guy. Or maybe it was because I didn't care for him at all!

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but all I knew was that I wanted to ruin Duncan's party and make him jealous.

I was a little worried about Duncan's thinking if he saw me with a new and charming boyfriend.

Yes, that would be absolutely hilarious as hell.

This party would be turned upside down if I were to attend. I had a strong feeling that something terrible was going to happen tonight.

Please, Goddess, be with me at all times.

I didn't say goodbye to Derek when I ended the phone conversation with him.

He grew accustomed to my snarky demeanor toward him. I guess he was a bit of a sub or something because he seemed to enjoy my direct approach with him. He enjoyed it when I made fun of him. I couldn't figure out why?! He was just a strange dude.

He was the polar opposite of Duncan's personality. Duncan has the ability to beat the living daylights out of me if I yell at him.

Actually, he hadn't previously beaten me. His anger and rage turned into insults when I continued to act inappropriately.

Nonetheless, Duncan was incredibly kind and compassionate towards me.

"When you love someone, everything he does to you will be pleasing to you," as the saying goes. 'You'll forgive him for everything,'

And I believe that I did.

"Let's get this party started, Jack," I said as I raised my head. " Derek is ready and waiting for us."

"Let's go now," we said as we walked out of the beauty salon and into my car. Then I got into my car and rolled down the window of my car. Jack was still holding his car key in his hands.

"what? As you've stated, you intend to support me!" I drew my brows together to jack.

Then Jack shook his head and stared at me with unstable eyes, as if he were in the middle of deep thought: "Listen, you should go by yourself tonight," He spoke in a normal tone.

He looked at me with narrowed eyes as I opened the door to my car and placed both of my hands over his shoulders. "jack! Why? Do you have a good reason for making such a sudden decision? I need you to be by my side tonight, so please be there. Please. I'm worried," I told him, making a pleading pout by my lips to get his attention.

He expressed his dissatisfaction by shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head. "Actually, I have a strong feeling that something monumental will take place tonight. And it's for this reason that I believe you should be alone with Derek. Trust me when I say that you will need to be alone. In front of my eyes right now is a very attractive lady who will make every werewolf and Alpha at this party swoon over her breathtaking beauty. This is all I can see at this moment. Believe me." He went into detail with me. To be completely honest, I didn't understand what was being said.

Although I didn't agree with him, I respected his wishes and, more importantly, I trusted his instincts. He locked his gaze on me, saying, "Just go now and be confident. Just a little tequila will suffice to get you through the night." He patted the top of my head.

"I promise; I will win tonight," I said as I nodded and smiled. "Wish me luck, Jack," I said. My words were heard by Jack, who shoved me into my car.

I started my car and drove quickly, my heart rate increasing, which caused me to accelerate even further. I was extremely nervous about what was going to happen tonight.

In addition, I lived in a house with Duncan and shared a ceiling, but I couldn't deny the fact that I missed him tremendously. He was always busy, and I didn't get to see him very often.

What made me feel even better was the fact that he continued to call me every day, more than ten times, to find out more information about me and what I was up to during the day. As well as my college.

He never forgot about me, even when he was away on business or for some other reason was away from home.

He tried his best to sleep in his own bed at night in the house. His eyes were always on me because he always says, "I'm leaving my best guards and my best men and assistants all around you everywhere," and he always meant it. 'I can't allow my heart to be broken.' Yes, he claimed that I was his heart and that he was content simply because he was doing everything he could to make me happy.

He told me over and over that he loved me more than any other woman, more than money, more than his pack, and more than he ever loved himself.

Despite this, he continued to be unaware of how much I cherished him.

I came to a complete stop in front of the gate with a loud screech, and I searched the area with my eyes for Derek, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I took my cell phone out of my purse and dialed his number.

He'd done it before. "Derek!" came the response from the first ring. "Can you tell me where you are?" I groaned, annoyed, and told him that he needed to be there on time. We were running late."

Yes, I wanted to get into the house late, but not quite as late as that. Not after the party was over; that would be a blunder on my part, and my mission for the evening would be thwarted.

I didn't put all that effort into my sultry dress and these expensive high heels in order to be embarrassed!

This would be a complete waste of time, not for a specific period of time but rather for my desire and my hidden emotions.

I just wanted to see Duncan in a fit of rage!

The cell phone rang, and Derek answered it, saying, "Honey, I'm over here next to you." I shifted my gaze to see him pull into the parking lot. On the other side of the street from my house. I waved to him and told him to follow me by his car.
