Chapter 2: Derek

Cassandra had just arrived at her brothers' place of residence when she was assaulted by her furious male. "Derek..." She gasped, struggling for air. "I can't breathe." Derek backed off and looked at her. All it took was a slight tilt of his head and she knew that Gwen was right. "Oh god, they will pay..." She murmured. Cassandra could not tolerate the mere fact that her brothers had turned Derek against his will. Even though it seemed that Derek hadn't succumbed to madness yet, that was something she could and would not forgive.

"What have they done to me?" He growled.

"Derek, can I call you that?" Derek nodded. Cassandra took a deep breath. "You are now a Lykae, a Lorean. Like me." Derek's jaw dropped. She supposed that to a turned Lykae, the fact would not be believable at first. "Did they stop and explain anything to you?"

"They said that they'd change me for your benefit and that you'd explain everything." Derek confessed.

'Those little rats...' she thought. "Well, you're a Lykae now...we're also called werewolves, but we don't change into the way humans think we do. No fur, no fangs and no snout." She declared. Morgan nodded. "We revere sex," Morgan laughed, making her smile. "What?"

"I can see that I'll fit in just fine." He teased with a heartstopping grin.

"Funny." Cassandra commented as she glared at him. "If I catch you with another woman, you will wish that you had never been born. Crystal?"

"Ditto." Morgan replied as he folded his arms. "I understand. What about vampires like Spencer...am I still allowed to be friends with him?" Answering that question was tricky. She had no idea who Spencer's allegiances rested with.

"Just a minute." She dialed Gwen's phone number. "Hey Gwen, who is Spencer allied...Well that makes things easier. Sorry for interrupting." She hung up the phone. Morgan looked at her. "He's not allied with the Horde, thank god. I caught them in the middle of their latest bout."

"Lemme guess, Gwen gets cranky if she and Spencer are interrupted? Okay, starting now...I'm officially weirded out. I do not need the mental images of the kid bonking his...what did he call Gwen? His Bride?" Cassandra laughed and nodded. "I'm probably gonna need a week away from Pretty Boy for this."

"Derek, I have to send you to Lachlain and Bowen. They can help you get your anger related to your turning under control. I don't want to do this, but I have no choice." Derek looked like he was about to lose a battle with his anger. "If I could trust anyone with you, it would be our king."

"King?" He asked.

"Yes. He's really kind." Cassandra knew that she had to get out of there. "I'll see you someday...I'm sorry." With that, she walked out the door.

"I'll come for you, Cassandra." He snapped and she had to resist the urge to look at him as he said that. "Be ready when I do." Cassandra wanted to stay and help her mate herself but Nix had told her if she did that, Morgan would likely kill her in the process.

Ten years later:

Cassandra hadn't forgotten that she had a mate. Every time she thought of Derek Morgan...sadness filled her at the thought of being unable to help him. She'd helped Gwen with raising Jennie in the interim and the halfling, like Emma as a child – she'd heard – was a huge handful. "Thinking of him?" She turned around and saw Emma, Lachlain's queen.

"How did you know?" Cassandra asked quietly. She hadn't talked to Emma since before Lachlain had thrown her out of Kinevane.

"Derek often goes into the forest to meditate...and think of you. Bowen said you made the right decision, sending Derek to them." Emma informed. It may have been the right decision but Cassandra still felt bad for walking out on her mate. "And Lachlain says that soon, he'll be able to join you."

"How soon?" Cassandra asked out of curiosity.

"From what I last heard; at the least, a month. The maximum would be six months." Cassandra nodded, thinking of Derek's last words to her before she left him. "Look, about Lachlain..."

"I'm sorry that I tried to take your male from you. I was just tired of the loneliness. I could had a few years with Derek if my brothers hadn't gotten it in their heads to turn him." Emma smiled.

"Now, you'll have forever with him." Emma countered. "I have to go back to Kinevane soon. Anything you want me to bring to Derek?" Cassandra grabbed the envelope off her desk and handed it to Emma.

"Thank you, Emma." Emma nodded and disappeared.

Derek was sitting out in the forest, trying to meditate when Emma came out. "Here, this is from Cassandra." Emma murmured, handing him a letter. "She misses you."

"I know." Derek said as he used a fingernail to open the letter.

Dear Derek,

I miss you. It hurt me to leave you like that ten years ago because I love you. My brothers paid in full for your transformation – they will avoid you like the plague, I'm told. Gwen and Emma got on their asses for it and Spencer said that he doesn't blame his wife for wanting to kick some Lykae tail. Just as long as it isn't yours, both he and I will be happy.

Derek chuckled at the mention of Lykae tail.

Spencer asked me to tell you that you are a godfather. We have a goddaughter named Jennie and a godson named Morgan. I wish that I could say that our goddaughter's sweet-tempered but she's, to put it quite simply, a brat. Just yesterday, she whined about not being able to go shopping with Mommy during the day for the thousandth time. Gwen alleviated some of the distress by bringing something pretty for the child but I fear she'll grow spoiled. Her brother, believe it or not, is actually the sweet-tempered one.

I can't wait until the day Lachlain sends you back to me, Derek. Perhaps...maybe we could have children of our own?

Derek smiled at that, even though he was shocked at the news that he was a godfather.

Come back safely to me, Der.

Cassandra

He barely heard Lachlain behind him as he finished the letter. "I'm goin' turn ye loose, Derek." Lachlain said softly. "It's time my friend had her mate. She's waited long enough for ye, doona ye think?" Derek grinned as he placed the letter back in the envelope.

"Thanks for all that Bowen and you have done for me, Lachlain." Derek thanked the two men. They'd given him an invaluable gift for his new life. The men could have refused to train him when he'd said that Cassandra had sent him, but Bowen had immediately taken him under his wing with Lachlain following his lead a few minutes later.

"As long ye doona forget it." Bowen said with a relaxed grin.

A/N: Sorry that this chapter is so short. I didn't want to skip ahead too much...Next up is the reunion between Spencer, Derek and Cassandra.
