Emma was appalled, and for a minute she couldn't move or say anything. The words which Derek had spoken hung heavily on her, it numbed her actually for a minute.
Of all the things the stupid jerk could attribute to her; a mistress? And the way he looked at her, like she was some piece of trash.
"Hey, are you dumb too??" He asked with a gibe, unfolding his hands from each other.
Then removing an imaginary tint from his hair, he looked at her in disgust, from her hair which she knew was cripsy with dust, to her feet which were not faring better either in those tight white tennis shoe.
He hissed after the eye travel, and put his hands into the front pockets of his denim jeans, still staring down at her in contempt.
That look again, Emma thought as she cringed unknowingly to her, weakened her, maybe because she had always been attributed to the goddess Venus.
Her beauty had got her out of alot of troubles back in Florida. She even liked to think sometimes, that her father disliked her because his associates get taken to her at first sight than Amelia. But then her sister never acted out like she noticed it, or perhaps she hadn'tcared.
But this is some weird place in England, and it seems that her beauty potent has faded. Emma sighed worriedly at the thought.
"Clem get me the phone! Seems we have a case of an intruder or whatever in Mr Jason's place" Derek called out to the guy closest to the tail of the truck, while turning around to look distastefully at Emma.
He had watched the girl zone out in thoughts, and thought that, perhaps, she was looking for a lie to buy them over with. He believed that she couldn't be the owner of this beautiful house.
Clem, a tall lean guy got the phone out of the driver's seat and brought it to Derek, while looking at Emma pitifully.
He thought the human girl looked lost and innocent, but beautiful even though she was clothed in dust.
He still wondered what she was doing out here alone.
'Was she a spy?' He thought.
No, she looked too innocent for that.
She might be a runaway from home, and he promised to help the human find her away if she was actually lost.
But for now, he stayed and watch to see what his best friend, the alpha's son will do.
Derek dialled the company's hotline, without hesitation, still staring at the girl in front of him. It rang for a while, and picked.
"Hello, Peipei company here" A female voice said over the phone.
"Yeah, it's Derek" He said impatiently..
Wondering again why his dad sent him to this company for his punishment. He could have just told him to run 50 laps around the packs' training ground. It wouldn't have been easy, but it was better that working with humans for 2 months.
"Oh Derek, what's the issue?" The voice now sultry, cooed.
And Derek knew at that moment, that it was Cassey that was on the phone. The bitch has been all over him since he arrived at the company last week.
"Nothing much Cassey. Just wanted to really confirm the house on No 13 moonway. There is a girl that we saw loitering around the house, claiming to be Mr Jason's daughter, but she seems deranged and…"
This off-handed insult snapped Emma out of the haze she had been in, and she wondered again if she was really okay. If she was alone, she would have smacked her head herself.
Her anger now rising, she thought how she could have let a guy from nowhere speak that way to her. She's Emma for godsake!, and she wasn't respected by her peers for nothing!
With that reinstated knowledge, Emma hurriedly grabbed the phone from Derek's ear, threw it on the floor, and smashed it underneath her shoe. She looked up at him, and smiled devilishly, feeling a bit content.
"What the hell" Derek screamed, walking closer to her. He felt so annoyed at the human girl, and wanted to hold and shake her, till she apologizes.
She wasn't a wolf, else she would have been dealt with accordingly. He thought.
But before He could carry out his thoughts of shaking the life out of her, Clem held him back, and shook his head negatively.
Derek hissed loudly, running his hands on his hair while restraining himself. He looked at the girl in anger.
'She was lucky', he thought.
He didn't want to get in trouble with his dad over a human again. He didn't know what the punishment would be this time around.
But Emma, not knowing Derek's short temper and inner turmoil, threw him a smirk, keeping her hands akimbo.
Derek couldn't hold it in again. In the fit of rage, He swatted Clem's hands and stretched out his hands to hold Emma, but to his greatest astonishment,he found himself on the floor within few seconds.
Derek winced in a pain, and although it disappeared after a few seconds, it left him feeling bewildered. He couldn't explain what had just happened.
Whatever had just happened, occurred very fast. He snapped out of his thinking haze when Maru, his wolf started laughing at him.
"Shouldn't you be on my side, a girl just tripped us.." He said, forgetting that he was still on the ground.
"Nah, she tripped you,not me. It was funny to watch,but I'm actually disappointed." Maru said
"I'm going to kill her then" Derek thought, determined.
"It seems you want to work in a sawmill, this time around. But she is actually beautiful, and smells very nice..very nice for a human" Maru said, not sure if he should tell Derek that the human girl might be his mate. He knew the guy would throw a fit.
Derek scoffed at Maru's words and looked around to see his colleagues near the truck still rolling on fits of laughter, and remembered that he was still on the floor.
He wondered what his father would say if he had seen this, and shuddered.
He looked up to see Emma folding her arms across her chest, with a disdainful look, and then she whistled.
Derek saw red, he would deal with her in a minute.
He tried standing gracefully as a human, but tripped clumsily for a reason he couldn't tell.
Today's wasn't just going well, he thought while holding the door frame and standing up. Jumping up like the usual might let the girl in on what he really is. He wouldn't want that. His father might kill him.
"What did you just do?" He asked Emma in angry voice tainted with a little amazement, as he dusted off his jeans. The human was really something, he thought.
But Emma didn't reply or look at him at all. Her attention was on Clem.
"What are you hotties doing here?" She had asked Clem, battling her eyelids and smiling.
'Did she just tune him off? Did a human just tune him off, for the first time' Derek thought, gritting his teeth.
"Yeah,she sure has guts.." His wolf said.
"Shut up " He said, as he could tell that Maru would soon start taunting him.
He could see Clem talking, and Shane bickering with Leo by the truck.
"We were contracted by Mr Jason to clean this place" Clem replied, blushing.
Derek scoffed. The girl already had the beta's son wrapped around her fingers.
"Okay" She replied. "Mr Jason is my Father, You guys should come in, the place is a real mess" She stated, and walked into the house, with her head up high.
Shane whistled.
"Where's Derek?" Emma asked Clem. She had turned back to see Clem and the other two guys walk into the house after her, but not Derek. She refused to think on why she was searching him out. 'What's there, if not to trouble him the more'She thought, smiling to herself as she remembered the look on his face when she double tripped him. "He might be outside" Clem replied, staring at the ceilings of the living room. 'Outside?'Emma thought. She could feel herself boiling up again. She concluded that Derek was a real piece of work. "What's he doing outside?, can't you see we need more hands her
Shane watched the duo in front of him spring apart at his voice, and smiled. He remembered they were holding hands when he walked into the kitchen and concluded that this would be the beginning of an interesting affair, which he would be delighted to watch. He couldn't wait to see his soon to be alpha smitten over a human girl, although he couldn't help but wonder whether she was his mate or he was just attracted to her. Whichever one, he hasn't ever looked at a girl twice, so this drama would be too sweet to miss, Shane concluded. He had watched her trip Derek, and the look on Derek's face when Clem touched her. And one thing he was so sure about was that, the girl intrigued Derek. Damn! She intrigued him too. She had looked so hot when she performed that acrobatics on Derek. So hot. Looking at them now, both scratching their necks
Emma met Clem surveying the master bedroom, with his two hands in the back pockets of his denim jeans, as she walked in. His back was towards her, and she had to admit; he was really a fine specimen, with a nice ass. She knew that Clem liked her already. His eyes had looked dreamy when he had brushed the dirt off her face. Emma thought she liked him too, she felt comfortable around him; unlike someone with the deepest blue eyes she had ever seen. Derek made her insides tingle. She feels so nervous whenever she's around him, her body temperature running up each time. Time had stopped for her, when she had jumped on him while running away from those damn cockroaches.
The Moon Park street smelled of whistling pine and natural vegetative flavors. Emma loved it. She has been strolling for almost an hour, walking from one block to another, appraising the beautiful bungalowish houses she has been seeing; and completely liked the fact that she could breathe freely without inhaling a scent of coffee, or perfume, or a mixture of junk and fried foods. The air was very free. As she strolled down the fifth block, she saw a row chair in front of a pale yellow house, which had the same design as her now house few blocks away; though this one was the neat version of hers. Emma stopped walking, then mused at the thought. She has her own house, at 17. 'What a fast-trek', she thought. &n
Emma could see that gaze again. It was the same gaze she had seen in the eyes of the boys earlier when they had seen her at first; and she got really curious. " Can't you talk or what.." The woman queried, seemingly getting tired of repeating her questions. " I'm Emma, and I live down the street" Emma replied looking at the woman. But she couldn't keep the eye contact for long. Rubbing her hands together, she looked elsewhere, at the gmelina trees; because for some reasons, unknown to her, she felt cold under the woman's gaze. "You live here??" The woman asked, her voice tinted with a note of confusion and suprise. Emma grasping that, looked up at the stranger. She could see the widening of the woman's e
The warmth of the sun rays on this mountainous scape, made Emma wish fervently that she had dropped off her brown coat in the house; as she felt the pool of sweat that had formed between the layers of her breasts. Her thin white polo was also slightly soaked, and they haven't gotten to the restaurant yet. She mused tiredly at the thought, and prayed silently, earnestly in her heart that they should get to the restaurant quickly. Her stomach was already making grumpling sounds. Trudging down the grassy path with Melvina, Emma wondered at her agility, while neglecting the stares she was getting from the people that stood at the West end of the road, purchasing clothes. "I didn’t know that the restaurant is this far.." She said rubbing her hands together, stopping f
The cloying smell of freshly baked cookies, hamburger and fries engulfed Emma as a hug, assailing her nostrils in a pleasant way as Melvina and she, stepped into the eatery. Her stomach grumbled in approval, as she breathed in the wholesome smell in relish. She couldn't wait to eat. "Let's go." Melvina said, holding her hand, and whisking her to the one of the tables. "Here, sit" She said, as they got to the first table closer to the window. Emma sat down excitedly, while rubbing her hands together. The cafeteria seemed to be cold, an odd opposition of the weather outside. " What will you have?." Melvina asked her, smiling.
Claire cussed as she heard Melvina's voice. Throwing her hands behind her back, she bent her heads in a bid to look sorry, while thinking inwardly of a hundred ways to deal ruthlessly with the human. "Claire, didn't you hear my question?. What happened??" Melvina asked, getting pissed off at the beta's daughter already. "Lu.." Claire tried saying, but Melvina cut her off through the pack link. "Ma, would be preferable" Melvina had said, through the link. "Oh.." Claire's mouth opened, then closed, after she tried assessing the situation. Emma noticed the motions made by the eyes of the two females, One in a commanding way, the other subdued; but sh
