Trenton's POV
If the look on Viola's face was any indication, she was pissed, and probably felt completely betrayed as she glared at Derek. Her eyes became crimson as her wolf surfaced just beneath the exterior.
"When I told you that Dalia wasn't my real mother you didn't even let on in any way that you had known my real mother. You never said anything when I told you about Vex's memory. Hell I spent the night at your house and you still didn't say a damn thing."
My eyes widened in surprise.
Derek put his hands up as if to calm her. "Viola, your father ensured that no one tell you anything about her. The entire pack remembers her and we all felt her loss. I couldn't betray Alpha Drake."
Viola shook her head and glared at him before leaving ripping through the air as she transformed allowing Vex to take over.
"You're an idiot." I said to Derek.
He sighed and rubbed his hand over his face. "Yeah, I get it."
"So she spent the night huh?" I asked curiously. I certainly knew I had to share Viola, I felt it in my soul that Derek needed to be around, I wasn't actually ecstatic about the thought of him having her though.
He glared at me. "We didn't sleep together. She was freaking out about Dalia and spent the night." He rubbed his chin. "So your father was trying to hide Avery? Why?"
I ran a hand through my hair and let out a breath. "Someone from her old pack was hunting her. You know the Midnight Pack? I guess someone kept trying to find her after she found her mate. Viola's father. Whoever it was, well they were trying to end the bloodline."
"Clearly they failed since Viola is here." Derek mused. "Whoever was after her probably would want to deal with Viola as well then."
I growled. "They'll have hell to deal with if anyone touches her." The thought of Viola possibly being in danger had Trey clawing in frustration. I clenched my hands trying to reign him in.
"Agreed." Derek said. "By the way, you're welcome. You know, for saving your ass." He snorted.
I glared at him. "Look lets just cut the crap here alright. You want her to yourself, I want her to myself, and we both know that it isn't an option much to our dissatisfaction. I get that we have this weird bond thing, but I'm not gonna pretend that I like you or kiss your ass."
Derek chuckled. "Couldn't have said it better myself, dick." He walked away.
Cracking my knuckles I let Trey take over and went after Viola. Finding her scent was easy. I found her just outside the gates sitting against a tree with a simple white dress on as she pulled at the grass in frustration.
"I can smell you lingering there, Trenton." She said without turning around. "What do you want?"
I slipped on a pair of jeans from the clothesline and went to sit down by her. "What did that grass ever do to you, V?" I asked brushing hair from her face. She involuntarily shivered under my touch, I held in a growl and tried not to think about how much I wanted her.
"I guess it just existed." She said sarcastically.
I smiled, she sure had a sharp tongue, I loved it. When I first saw her I remembered how terrified she was, how weak she had been. But already after a short time with Vex she was becoming stronger, more free-spirited. She seemed to feel braver because of that strength, she had started to become who she was always meant to be. She would probably end up being the strongest in the pack one day.
"Well, I'm just existing too, maybe you should take it out on me." I spoke quietly.
She met my gaze unflinchingly and seemed to ponder what I had said. "Kiss me."
"Is that a command, Viola?" I asked lowly as I brushed my fingers over her neck and up to her jaw.
"Yes." She whispered.
I didn't even hesitate then as I laid her down in the grass and put my hand over her cheek rubbing my thumb over her cheekbone. I kissed her softly as her hands went to my abdomen sending shocks through me from her touch. I deepened the kiss and she wrapped her arms around my neck pulling herself closer to me. I trailed my hand down her waist and brought her hip against me. I wanted her so badly, I'd never been with a woman that I wanted as much I wanted Viola.
I moved my lips to her jaw and down her neck kissing her, it was like being burned inside and out in the most pleasurable way as I kissed her and heard her soft gasps. I could smell her arousal and it made mine even more so knowing that she wanted me.
"You're absolutely breathtaking." I said deeply as I moved to kiss her sweet mouth once again.
Footsteps sounded nearby making her tense up. I got to my feet and pulled her up with me.
"I knew I would find you here." A voice I didn't know said. A woman walked up with short brown hair.
"Evie?" Viola asked. She wrapped her arms around the woman that had shown up. "This is Trenton." She said waving her hand towards me.
A knowing look appeared in her eyes. "Ah, the other mate huh?" She smiled. "Nice to meet you, I'm Evie." She looked back at Viola. "Enough of that, there's a pack meeting. Alpha Drake sent me to find you, having a wolf means you need to actually attend the meets now." She bumped her hip against Viola's and linked her arm through hers bringing her along. I followed behind closely as we went to where the pack meet was to take place.
"I think we are all wondering about your daughter Alpha Drake." A voice spoke loudly over the other pack members as we got to the meet. "She can partially shift without any practice, and we have seen her wolf form. She is much larger than she should be. We are concerned about her safety and ours Alpha, with all due respect." A few murmurs of agreement were heard from a small amount of other pack members.
