THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Emma broke away first, hitting her forehead twice, for acting so ashamedly in an open forest. For god sake, the place was enchanted, with deathly apparitions flying around! She screamed in her mind, running her fingers along the long threads of her red hair.

Derek wouldn’t be the death of her. She thought.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Did you hear that?” She finally asked Derek, whose eyes had suddenly become too alert. Though his member still stayed out, hard and red.

“And put your junior in.” She muttered, before turning away, wondering on where the cry had come from. It sounded like a cry for help. They had to be going, perhaps they could find and save the person. Her boyfriend looked strong. She thought, casting a glance at Derek, who was buttoning up his trousers; a reluctant look on his face.

She knew he was fustrated, and needed a relief. She promised in her mind, to help him out soon, perhaps in a more confined place. But for now, they had to search out where the voice came from.

“Yeah, I did.” Derek replied, trying to keep the fustration off his voice and ignore the unrelieved strain on his trousers. There was another issue on ground.

“Let’s check it out.” Emma said, with a shrug.

” Alright. Let’s go.” He concurred, holding her hand in his, before walking with her through the path, his cousin had walked through earlier. This was the time to find her. He thought, as he followed her scent down the path.

The duo had been walking for quite a while, each lost in their individual thoughts, when she girl of about six years old with brown long hair ran up to them suddenly from nowhere startlingly them both. They hadn’t seen her coming.

“Please, help me.” The girl cried out, tears falling in torrents from her eyes, as she stared at them pleadingly.

Derek was confused. Where had the girl come from? She didn’t even have a scent.

“We will, but what’s your name, little one?” Emma asked, squatting before the girl, before Derek could say something.

” My name is Lily, and my sister is dying.” The little girl replied, still crying profusely. Emma was moved. She wanted to help the girl do much.

“Okay Lily. My name is Emma, and this is my friend, Derek. We are going to help you.” She said, after the fashion of the police men, whom she had thought were a funny set of people, back at home.

“Where is your sister?” She asked, patting her hand on the girl’s silky hair to calm her down.

“Just over there.” The girl said, pointing to another area of the forest.

“Take us there.” She stated, before standing up, and looking at Derek. He was looking skeptical and unsure of her decision.

“Oh c’mon babe. What could go wrong? She is just a little girl.” Emma said, holding a wary Derek by the hand.

“Something doesn’t feel right.” She heard him say, and soughed.

” You think a lot. Come on. Let’s go. I think it was her sister that interrupted our moment.” She mentioned, winking at him daringly at her last statement.

A wink which promised of much better things to come. And of course Derek didn’t miss that.

“Yeah. Let’s go help them then. We can finish up later.” He muttered with a throaty voice, pinching her inner palm with his finger.

Emma blushed, then looked away. The girl was leading them, not for once, stumbling over the rocks or climbers, as if she had treaded the path more than a million times. And again, the weird feeling started up again, but she discounted it.

‘She is just a little girl. What harm can she cause? She thought, walking in step with Derek.

The trio had been walking for a long time. Emma thought so, as her legs were getting tired already. It seemed to her that they were going in circles. She wanted to mention it to Derek, but then decided to keep shut about it. After all, she was just a new person here. She didn’t know the forest; haven’t been in one either.

“Hey. Are you sure we are on the right path?” She heard Derek ask, and nodded in agreement with him.

” Yes Lily, are you sure we are on the right path?” She asked, halting a bit to catch some fish.

But the little girl didn’t respond. She kept walking like a robot, down the path. There were no sneezes or cries anymore.

Emma became terrified all of a sudden, a blanket of doom overshadowing her. What was this one now? She thought, staring at the young girl, walking steadily, without waning in strength all these while.

She can’t be human. Emna concluded, grasping Derek tightly, her fear evident in her eyes.

“What is that?” Derek asked her, holding her close. They had stopped walking, and were now staring at the girl who kept walking like she didn’t have anyone coming at her back. He looked around the forest area, he hadn’t seen it before.

What was going on? He thought, as his mate ignored his question.

“Hey!” He shouted out to the little girl. He didn’t think her name was Lily.

“Hey!” He shouted again, but the girl didn’t turn back, to look at them.

“Emma!! Derek!!”

Emma jerked out of Derek’s arm as she heard Maya’s voice.

“Maya!!” She shouted. “Over here!” She screamed, a bit relieved that her friend was okay. She still felt a bit stupid making out with Derek in an enchanted Forest. Who knows the number of things that might have seen and laughed at them.

And immediately the girl turned.

Her eyes were no longer puffed or red, just cold and plain evil.

“No one would find you here.” She said, smiling evilly.

“Who are you?” Derek asked, guessing that the being in front of him might be witch.

“You will know soon.” The girl just answered, before staring keenly at Emma who shuddered unconsciously under the gaze.

“What do you want with us?” Derek asked, holding his wolf from coming out. Emma was with him.

“Us??” The girl asked, finding Derek’s question amusing.

“I don’t need you.” She replied.

“I just need her.” She stated, pointing at Emma, an evident smirk on her lips.
