Chapter 308 308

• I leaned my head against Derik as we walked, my eyes closing for what felt like a second. It must’ve been longer because when I opened them again, I was being carried against him, my head resting on his shoulder as he strode us through the gates. Mom was still at his side, both of them chattering easily. He was easily Mom’s favorite. She normally wasn’t that picky, but with Kai and all his brute and Brax in all his brooding, Derik had won her over easily. He was all charm, and the dimple in his cheek when he smiled made him look nice. And he could be sweet, nice, charming. But he was still an alpha, and when he turned that mode on, he could be the scariest of them all.
• Lucky for me, I loved scary.
• I snuggled tighter into Derik’s neck as his warmth covered me. I shivered against him, trying to keep the heat in with the cloak around me. The magic pulsed inside me, no longer stretching since I was there with it in one place. We made it into the city, and I knew my other two Alphas were there. Their anger was palpable.
