I shook my head and placed my hands on Derek's chest, staring into his stunning emerald eyes..
"I would say he's a little cunning and stupid. Just being silly and stupid, doing all he can to claim me back as his.."
Derek's eyes widened after hearing that. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, his face a mixture of impotent fury. He hates it whenever Mason tries to do all he can to win me. He has every right to be jealous. I am his mate and not Mason's.
My hands slowly glided up his chest to his neck, and I grasped his chin, my eyes radiating assurance.
"Mason can't have me, okay. No matter how hard he tries, he can't. You're my mate, Derek and not Mason," I mumbled, my voice tinged with Conviction.
Derek cupped my cheek and with his brows creasing in confusion, he asked,
"You mentioned something about threats. What kind of threats?"
"You remember Ashley, don't you?".
"Who's Ashley?"
"Ashley, one of those girls we met at Bonnie's house. She played truth and dare with us, remember?"
"Oh.. yes I do now," Derek confirmed, nodding slightly.
"He forces Ashley to sleep with him all because her mom owes his mom some debts and works for her in turn. He gave her fake promises that he loved her all because he wanted to keep having sex with her. He's been forcing himself on her for five months now, Derek. Five f**g months.
"Bonnie told me she got depressed at one point and confronted Mason to end his fling with her but he blackmailed her by threatening to expose her nudes on social media. Ashley had no choice but to entirely surrender to him, knowing she had no control over him. She had no choice but to continue letting him f**k her till he was satisfied. This is rape and an ongoing assault! It does not appear that she agreed to it. I could tell, and it's really evident."
I finally explained everything to Derek who was speechless as well as shocked. With his teeth gritting, he retaliated by banging the wall with his clenched fists.. he was extremely angry.
"How dare Mason do that to her! He has no shame. I feel very bad for Ashley. This matter shouldn't be covered. I'm reporting it to the school authority," Derek emphasized and I held his hand, shaking my head in disagreement.
"We can't, Derek. We can't. You know Mason is a rich student of the school. His parents are top sponsors of the school and he has always gotten away with everything. Reporting him might only make things worse. He might inform his parent's and his parents might do something despicable to Ashley's mom. It saddens me that we're in a world where prejudice and inequality rules. The poor, the rogues, the slaves and the Omegas are the ones who suffer the most. We can't do anything about it Derek because Ashley isn't even a student in our school… I hope my words today melts his heart and make him stop whatever threats he's enforcing on Ashley.."
"This is silly! This is lame. Not pathetic but stupid!" Derek bawled before hitting his fist on the wall once again. He grabbed my hands and raised my chin, his emerald eyes boring into mine.
"If anyone dares to treat you badly or take you for granted, including Mason, I will smash and crush their bones. I don't care if the rules of the world favor the wealthy or people with high status. I, Derek Walton, will break every foolish freaking rule to keep you safe. I don't give a f**k what people say."
Derek rumbled, his voice laced with concern. He gathered me into his arms, his hot breath fanning my skin, sending waves of comfort to me.
"I'll call Bonnie and tell her to speak to Ashley… She has to reveal all Mason did to her. She must reveal all details and declare that he forced, blackmailed, and threatened her into being his sex toy. That way, Mason will be embarrassed and he'll stop whatever actions or plans he has against her.."
When I noticed how worried Derek looked, I clasped his hands and gave him a soft peck on the cheek, my eyes brimming with comfort.
"Everything will be fine, Derek. You don't have to worry," I mumbled, emphasizing as well.
Derek cupped my cheek and said, "I'm only worried about you, Isabel. I don't want you to get too involved in the case. What if Ashley denies everything? What If she agrees with Mason and suddenly changes her mind, making it seem like she agreed and consented to everything he did to her? How well can you trust Ashley?"
His questions struck my heart as I realized the point in it. What if Ashley says something different after everything? No.. she can't do that, can she?
"I don't think Ashley can ever do something like that.. she's emotionally and mentally depressed. She really wants to get out of that situation so I'm definitely sure that she'll reveal everything to us in front of Mason. He will be the one on the losing side because once she reveals everything, we'll have him reported to the authority."
I said, trying to remove the worries from Derek's mind..He smiled faintly and claimed my lips in his, kissing me gently and slowly at a time.
His hands glided across my back, sending a tingling sensation all over my body. I grasped his chin as we both tried to keep up with the pace of our kisses. My hands massaged his neck and chest, feeling turned on from his kisses..
He suddenly withdrew his lips from mine and my lips parted slowly as I still craved for more kisses.
"I didn't see you at the stadium, Isabel. Where were you?"
My eyes went round. Should I tell him I was bullied? Should I lie and say something different entirely
