Chapter 23:

” It’s difficult to understand the kind of person Derek is only if you don’t come close to him. Derek and I have been real close friends since we were little, even till now we don’t believe we’re just friends. We see ourselves as brothers. So, I’m gonna tell you what type of person he is. ”

We sat by the bank of the river, I was staring far away from the lake but I could feel her eyes on me while I talked. I was happy she was listening.

” It all started when Derek was twelve, we went to the river catch some fish, we always do that. There he saw this girl, he won’t stop talking about her, he won’t stop acting those dramas on how to talk to her. ” I chuckled, it really was funny then. ” Her name is Allison, she was only ten then. They grew up and soon began to find interest in each other, hoping for a happy future. ”

” Everyone thought the same too, including me. But who knew it was only for a matter of time. Sometimes, people become what they are not because they wish to be that way. People are what they are because others made them what they are. Derek was twenty and she was eighteen, I didn’t want to interrupt their moments so I decided not to go out to fish with them. Not up to an hour, Derek came back stained with bloods and Allison dead on his arms. ”

” Unlike before, Derek was so emotional, soft, even his parents feared he’d rule the pack someday. But after what happened, Derek’s soft heart grew cold and the undeniable hatred unleashed in him. The humans took the one he loved away, and she saved his life but… he wasn’t able to save hers. ”

” Sometimes, I don’t blame Derek for what he does. He’s only trying not to make the same mistake he once did. And you know, you’re a bit stubborn too I’d say. ” She chuckled.

” It’s not really my fault. ”

” I just wish the bond you share with him will bring you two closer. It’s so difficult for him to forget her, and if there’s any one who can make him do that, it’s you Diana. ”

” But how, I can’t even stand before him. ”

” First, you just have to understand the bond and second, you have to understand him too. ”

” He’s gonna think I hate him. ” She said coldly.

” Yeah, he does. Do you? ” I asked and she glared at me for a long moment.

She shook her head and said. ” No, I don’t. Although he scares me but, each time I try to hate him, I don’t see any reason why I have to. ”

” Just give him a chance, I trust Derek, he’s gonna listen to you. ” I assured her.

We stood up, dusting our hands from the dust stains. ” Well, least I forget, Bella request to see you at the turret tonight by eight o’clock. ”

” Eight o’clock. ” She repeated.

Diana ✓

I sat on my bed staring at nowhere. Michael’s words kept echoing in my ears, and the hidden hatred I have for Derek was gone entirely.

I didn’t lie when I said I hated him not, it’s just the fear to look into his eyes that keeps tickling in me.

Bella requesting to see me, I hope there isn’t a problem cos, there shouldn’t be any.

” Are you gonna sit down there all day? ” May snapped me out of my thoughts as she entered the room.

” I’ve been to the lake with Micheal few minutes ago, I guess I need a break for myself. ”

” Are you alright? ” She asked, dropping the meal on the table.

” Maybe, I guess I am. ” I replied with a sigh.

” Well, you don’t look alright to me. Are you sure there’s something you wanna talk about? ” She sat beside me.

” Honestly, I wish there is but, there isn’t. They’re many things in my head and I don’t know where to start. ”

” Then start from any. ”

I rubbed my eyes and I felt liquid leave it. I gently rubbed it off but the red colour of my eyes didn’t hide the fact that I was actually crying.

” Are you crying? ” She asked noticing the tears on my cheeks.

” No, of course not. ” I wiped the disappointing tears off.

” Yes, you are. ”

” I don’t know why but I feel this pains right here, ” I sniffed, touching my chest. ” and it hurts a lot. Like a part of me has been taken away. Like I’m lost with nothing. It hurts… like hell. ” she pulled me into a warm hug.

” That’s because you’re beginning to feel the bond and but the distance between you two is affecting it. It’s time you two come together, it’s time you have to put the fears aside and come to understand what kind of person he is. ”

The night finally approached, I haven’t forgotten about Bella’s request to see me. I left my room to the turret to meet Bella as informed.

I got to a door, pushing it open as I let myself in. The room was dark but thankfully, the rays of the moon was able to shine through the curtains.

I was wondering why Bella would want us to meet here. I mean, why not in my room or in hers or rather, somewhere much better than in this dark room?

I walked pass two sitting rooms before getting to the turret. ” B… ” I almost called her name when I saw someone instead.

I could get a clear view of his back, his arms met at his back. The moon shun directly at him and his skin glittered in excitement. He stood with authority, from where I stood I could perceive the sweet fragrance of his perfume.

It was captivating, It’s sed-ctive and s€×y with a strong attraction force too.

” Bella is supposed to be here. ” I said in a dried tune, causing him to turn.

” Michael had only said that so you’d come. ”

” What do you want? ” I asked then, ready to hear whatever he was about to say.

” I wanna apologize for everything, and I’m gonna start from the scratch. Look I know I’ve caused you so much pains and that’s starting from the night at the woods. I created a new life for you, I took you away from your freedom. I was supposed to make you happy, I was supposed to be there for you, yet I wasn’t. ”

He walked closer to where I was standing, ” it hurts me each time I try to sleep and the first thing that comes into my mind is guilt. You’re in this position is all because of me, you don’t deserve any of this, Diana, you deserve to be happy. ”

I shut my eyes tight to prevent the tears from rolling out but it successfully made it’s way out. He touched my left cheek, wiping the rolling tears with his thumb.

” I’m so sorry, Diana, please give me a chance to show you how much I love you. Tell me whatever it is you want, I won’t hesitate to grant your request. Just tell, what it is. ”

I don’t want anything. No, I don’t want any other thing from him. I just wish for one thing… one single thing… And that’s his love.

I want to feel loved… I want to be loved… I want to be happy… with no one but him… That’s it… that’s just what I want.

” I don’t want your money, I don’t want your possessions. All I want from you is your love. I want you to love me, I want you to accept me, I want to be the one by your side, I wanna be that one person in your heart. That’s all I want from you. ”

” Then so be it. ” I was beginning to see the love hidden behind those gorgeous eyes. The love and lust it held, and the burning desires of want clouding in him.

I rubbed my cheek on his palm, my eyes staring deep into his. Slowly, he leaned his face close, my eyes gradually closing as his l-ips softly touched mine.

The feeling was mutual, it was pure and real.

Then… He k-ssed me.
