I awoke feeling horrible. My heat ached for Rebekah to reappear so I could apologize for how I acted the night before… All I wanted to do was tell her that I love her too. "Rebekah?" I called out hoping that she would hear me. "Beks please show yourself…" I pleaded as sorrow washed over me. "Rebekah… I'm sorry… please come back." I choked as tears started to sting my eyes. I ran my fingers through my hair as silence filled the room. She wasn't answering me… I felt my anger start to bubble up to the surface with that thought.
I took a deep breath in and let it out as I tried to calm myself. "You said all I had to do was call out to you and you would come! Where are you Rebekah? Why did you lie to me?" I roared feeling my anger as it coursed through my body. She lied to me and here I was going to apologize for being such a jerk last night. My breathing began to come in ragged puffs as I gripped the bed. I could feel myself losing control, but part of me welcomed the change. I let go of the bed and let my wolf take over.
"She lied!" I roared flipping her bookshelf over. I turned towards the picture covered corkboard and my heart nearly stopped as my eyes fell on a picture of me with Laura and Beks after one of my baseball games. Three sets of glowing eyes were staring back at me from the moonlit picture and I howled. I'm furious with Rebekah, but it's only because I'm angry with myself. I howled in frustration as I began to pace around the room. It's been a month and her scent still lingers here like a sweet perfume. Most days I welcomed the smell, but right now it's suffocating me. I let out a strangled growl as I dragged my claws along the wall.
"Derek what in the hell is going on?" Peter barked barging into the room. I turned towards my uncle and growled. "Derek what happened?" He asked carefully. I couldn't find my voice to answer him all I knew was that I had to get out of there. I looked frantically around the room until I spotted an easy escape out the open window. Peter started walking towards me and I took my chance and dove through the open window. I had miscalculated how far my momentum would take me, so I missed the room and landed roughly on the ground and then headed into the forest to clear my head.
Peter's POV
"Dammit Derek!" I roared sticking my head out of the window. I shrugged as I shut the window and headed back through the bedroom door. I pulled out my phone and sent a text to all of the betas, telling them that if they see Derek to let me know. I made my way down the stairs and to the front door to start tracking my nephew. I had just stepped onto the porch when I felt her presence. I turned around to see Rebekah sitting on the porch swing looking longingly in the direction my nephew had gone.
"Rebekah… What do I owe this visit to?" I asked carefully as she turned her attention to me. "Protect him… I have this horrible feeling he's going to do something stupid or dangerous…" She said letting her worry color her tone. "Or something dangerously stupid like you did? It's even more obvious now that you two are perfect for each other." I said with a laugh. "Peter I'm serious!" She growled as her eyes flashed violet. "So am I my dear… May I ask you a question?" I asked studying her. She simply nodded. "Why my dear Rebekah are you stick around? Why haven't you moved on yet?" I asked meeting her eyes. She quickly looked down at her feet and then back up at me. "I love him and I want to make sure he's safe… Peter please help him! He's going to do something completely foolish…" "Do you know what he's going to do?" "No… I just know my mate." She answered softly. I tried to reach out to her, but then I thought better of it. "I promise I'll do everything in my power to protect Derek." I said giving her a smile. She seemed satisfied with my answer and then she vanished as quickly as she had appeared. I shook my head and then headed towards the woods following my nephew's scent.
Derek's POV
I took in a big breath of the night time air. I had ran until my lungs ached and my legs gave out. I've been lying next to the stream for hours. My anger vanished soon after my legs gave out and now there's only one thing I know for certain. I have to bring her back!
