Aurora woke up to an empty bed, it seemed Derk was up already, she stretched her arms and feet, her morning face glittering as the morning sun flowed softly into the room.
She was finally going to visit her parents grave , she dressed up and went downstairs, as usual Derk was waiting with a flower on his hands, he handed it over to her.
For your parents he said , and she smiled as she received the flowers, thank you for your thoughts.
the minute they stepped into the cemetery, every ghosts from across 3 miles raduis could perceive the scent of a keeper and they all came hovering around her.
The scent of death was so thick in the air, that even Derk's aura was being suppressed by it, which allowed more passage for the ghosts .
Aurora walked with her flowers, dressed in a black gown, as she stood Infront of two Graves, her parents names carved on the tomb stone, she dropped the flowers between them ,as she spoke silently to them.
The key on her neck began to click silently resonating loudly across the cemetery, which had every ghost , both the good and bad , coming close to her.
The sky darkened as the rain poured down heavily on the ground, as it began to thunder loudly, and Aurora was drenched by the sudden outburst of the sky.
Derk had smelt the thick scent of death walking closer to them , which was why he had used his abilities to summon the rain, so it could be able to wash away most of the scent .
Let's go else you would catch a cold he said to Aurora as he helped her get up, covering her with his thick coat.
A particular ghost whose will for revenge was stronger than the rest had secretly attached herself to them without the Alpha's knowledge and had returned back with them to the mansion.
Aurora had returned to her room to wash up , and had just finished dressing.
the ghost who had sneakily entered her room, came to hover over the girl who was busy surfing the internet with her phone.
, the ghost had died 3 years ago , killed by her husband who he had caught cheating on her with her best friend, and had killed her in a heat of an argument.
Not only had he killed her but had burned her body to destroy the evidence, the ghost's name was Martha.
The ghost looked at the key on the girls neck and whispered, sorry for the pain, but he has to pay .
The ghost dove into Aurora's body as she gave a shrieking peircing scream that resounded inside the mansion, that had the maids running to her room.
Derk who was in the midst of going out, since tonight was a full moon had stopped at the sound of the scream, as he ran to her room.
Aurora folded her body in pain, as the memory of the dead ghost passed through her like water, she didn't know what was happening, but she felt like she relived those memories, especially the time of the ghosts death.
Derk ran to her side , dismissing the maids who were trying to find out what was wrong with the lady .
He touched her body for him to feel the schorching heat emitting from her body, he looked at the key around her neck and attempted to remove it only for his hands to burn at the contact.
Stop it, it hurts Aurora wailed in pain, it felt like her mind was processing the pain at a fast rate, something like that had never happened to her before.
She opened her eyes to look at Derk , who this time was genuinely worried for her sake, her blue eyes with tears staring back at him, help me she said to him.
He didn't know what to do, he never knew the resonance thing could actually react this way on her .
Not being able to bear the pain, she slipped into unciousness,.
Derk looked at the girl who had passed out, it seemed the price to pay for been a keeper was heavier than he thought, would she be able to survive it till she reached the state of unlocking domain which was important to him.
He looked at of her room window, the sky was already begining to darken, and his body had began to feel the pain that came from transforming.
He hadn't marked Aurora, and being around her during a full moon was not his plan, as his wolf side usually took control and with it's mate beside him, he would be itching to mark her.
He controlled his self till he felt her body temperature return back to normal and her breaths even.
Not being able to withstand the call of the moon again, he jumped out of her window disappearing into the night.
A pair of golden eyes could be seen glittering through the forest, as a mix of black and red wolf ran into the depths of the woods howling into the night.
He ran till he stopped in front of a group of wolves who looked smaller compared to his giant build, as they all bowed down to him, Simeon his beta in his wolf form walked closely to him, using the mind link he instructed them on what to do.
Thomas burns the leader of the crimson pack had placed a hunt on Derk as he was his biggest rival and competitor to the position of being the supreme Alpha .
They had once being close friends till Thomas had betrayed him, turning them into rivals
Fifteen wolves had been dispatched by him to hunt the Alpha of the red pack , and they were all laying in wait, planning on how to attack the red pack Alpha.
A loud howl resounded through the woods as the hunt began, Derk had already mindlinked his pack to start the hunt .
And soon the thudding, and ripping sounds resounded through the woods, as Derk and his pack had began to hunt down every intruder that had crossed his boundary.
He ripped the heads of his enemies apart with his sharp teeth, returning them to their human form which looked unrecognizable.
Satisfying his blood lust,he would never let Thomas match over his head not over his dead body.
