Trapped with the Alpha

Well, it might be, I think he has not really gotten over the fact that i got mated to her and not him, I guess he just really loved Sophie and now he has you” he said tapping her shoulder, ” I’m very sure you will do a very good job at loving my brother and you would also make a very good mate for him” Derrick said.

She could not believe that she was having a civil conversation with Derrick, the most annoying person in the brown household, she remembered when she newly came he was just this playful and stubborn Derrick who never took anything or anyone serious .

“Wow, Derrick you sound smart, I never knew you could be this smart” she teased him

” You sure do enjoy teasing me right, I can be smart now and calm, I just enjoy being cocky and annoying, I know how that shit irritates my brother so I mostly do it to irritate him” he said

” So basically you put up your shitty attitude when we came to be an annoying pest and get on Audrey’s nerves, you sure played your cards well because it damn worked” she said .

They both laughed as they began mocking Audrey’s response to everything they did, they imitated his footsteps, the manner in which he walks like he was an old man and what he would say if he caught them mocking him. This made Stephanie laugh so hard as Derrick was so accurate in all his expressions, he gave off the right expressions, to her it was like she had a second Audrey standing right in front of her.

As the laughter died down, silence crept in and they both stayed together in silence for a while when Derrick broke the silence

“You know irrespective of the way he is, one thing I know for sure is you bring out the best in my brother and that boy is willing to do anything and I mean anything for you, don’t just break his trust, don’t break his heart” Derrick said with pleading eyes.

“What if I am not able to transform, Derrick, will I be able to still cope with this lifestyle” she said with concern in her eyes ” there are times I just want to hold him and look at home especially when he is afraid and angry but there is little or nothing I can do when he is not in his human form and it breaks my heart each time” she said.

Derrick knew how hurt she was when she could not follow him into the woods the day he ran off, it was any sane feeling any normal human will have, if it were him too he would feel. He did not know what to tell her at that point because he knew that she would pick on it and hold his words close to her chest but he decided to try anyway.

” I really don’t know what to say but don’t just give up hope yet, you would transform, you would change into a werewolf, it might not be today or tomorrow or even on full moon but I know the love you guys share will keep you guys together, I promise and we all have your back” he said with a smile reassuring her that there was always light at the end of the tunnel.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You know, come to think of it this is like a repeat of what happened to my mum, she was not able to transform immediately she kept worrying and worrying but my dad kept reassuring her that she would eventually transform it was not until she gave birth to us boys that she did which was a very long time because my parents were mated long ago to each other, my mum knew a lot about werewolves but was not one herself till she birthed us” he further explained.

“Hmmm, that’s true, your mum I have to pay her a visit before we leave tomorrow, we all have to pay her a visit” she said ” she is such a strong woman, stayed with a werewolf despite all the oppositions she got and was still able to birth werewolves” Stephanie said .

” Yeahhh, that is also a thing, prior to our birth everybody including the wolf community were concerned that we would turn out to be humans, they were not expecting my brother and I to be wolves at all, it came as a surprise to them when Audrey and I turned out to be wolves too” he reminisced as those were good old times.

His mother told him there was a lot of jubilation in the wolf community when he and Audrey were born.

” Nice story, Audrey never told me about all this,” she said.

” He would still tell you but don’t tell him I already did,” he said and laughed.

Unknown to them Audrey had already come down few minutes before, he woke up and did not find Stephanie close to him so he felt that she must have gone downstairs, he immediately went downstairs and found her talking to Derrick so he decided to hide a bit and listen in on their conversation , he could not help but smile and remember when their mother was alive, those were good old times and this made him have reasons why he should love his brother more, his mother would not be happy to see them constantly fighting, so he stood up from where he hid himself.

“Too late blabbermouth, I already overheard everything” he teased standing up.

“Haven’t I told you that listening in on my conversation is bad ” Stephanie said and poked him

Ouch, that hurt” he whined

“Yes, that’s for eavesdropping” she said and winked.

” She is such a feisty one” Derrick said facing his brother and laughing

” I guess it’s good to have them feisty,” Audrey teased back.

Stephanie loved the fact that they were warming up to each other in a way that was at least some progress.

” We are going to visit your mother tomorrow,” she said, facing Audrey and giving him the puppy dog eyes so he could give in to her request.

” Not that eyes please, and yes I already had it in mind before you spoke about it, i can not go back to school without saying goodbye to my mother” Audrey said.

” Yayyy” she jumped up like a little child that had just been given her favorite sweet to take to school.

“So I will leave you guys to talk things through and iron it out and please for crying out loud do not punch each other while people are sleeping” she said and pleaded.

“Ouch you hurt my pride babe, you think I can not do without having a civil conversation with my only brother” Audrey said faking a heart attack

” Well make me trust you” she said and walked away.

She left the two brothers to themselves, they did not know what to say after she left so they just stood there in awkward silence waiting for who would talk first, at that point even if a pin had dropped it would have been heard in the whole house.

“I’m sorry”they both said simultaneously, which was awkward.

” Ooh I’m sorry, you should go first” Derrick said

” Alright, I am sorry I lashed out that way, I guess I over reacted” Audrey replied.

” I am sorry too, if you ever felt that way, I was only looking out for you as a brother should” Derrick replied.

After they apologized they both shook hands like guys would and hugged each other.

” Anger is terrible, now my body aches all over from the constant punching I made at the woods” Audrey said and they both laughed.

” Wait wait, what did you do to Sophie, how was she able to control you?” Derrick asked.

” It was a whole lot of work but I really don’t know. All I know is I was punching something or someone and suddenly I was bundled in a car,” he said.

” Hmm I guess her charm worked ” Derrick teased

” What charm” his brother asked. Derrick did not want to answer the question so immediately changed the topic so he would avoid having to answer the question.

” So you are really going tomorrow” Derrick said changing the topic.
