THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

Emma blinked her eyes twice, as she heard Maya’s call. She had been too focused on the Blondie that had attacked her in the fill up eatery, that she had almost missed out on her friend’s call.

“Yeah.” She finally replied, her eyes still watching the Blondie as she spoke in little tones with the professor. Emma wished there was a way she could listen into their conversation.

“Who is she?” Maya asked, casting furtive glances at her and the Blondie intermittently.

“She is Claire. I think your cousin would give you a better run down on her, since they both seem close.” She said, bitting her lips in anger as she remembered the incident that had happened on her first day in school, when Derek had called her a dummy when he had thought that she wasn’t around.

Thinking of it now, she wondered how and why she had still gone ahead to date him after that. Did she hit her head somewhere? She thought, rubbing her head weakly with her thumb.

“Claire??” Maya muttered, trying to remember when and where she heard the name.

“She is Clem’s twin sister. You have forgotten already?” Derek said, cutting into their conversation, which had interested him when his little witch hinted that he and his beta’s sister were close. He had been trying to figure out why she was here in college, his class specifically, when he heard his little mate’s statement.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Well, you both are close.” Maru said.

“We are not.” He thought back, almost scoffing at his own lies. They had been close, ever since his cousin betrayed and left him those years ago. But he had to admit that the closeness had been dwindling ever since his mate came into the picture.

“Oh, right.” Maya’s muttering cut into his thoughts. He knew she must have figured who Claire was. He didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad about that. The duo had never gotten along with each other. His cousin was cool with his beta, but not the twin; and he never knew why, never had an inkling of what had caused it. When he had asked his cousin then, she had just waved it over as being a girl’s business.

“Seems you know the witch too?” Emma stated in a low tone, almost taking back her words when she wondered whether Maya could be a fan of the bright yellow haired witch; but then shrugging it off. What’s the worse that could happen?. She thought.

“Yeah, and trust me she is bad news.” Maya said, as she casted another look on the professor with the new girl. He was telling her to take one of the seats, but that he was almost done with his class. He had just been rounding up before she came in.

“Ohh, Puhleese.. tell me what I don’t know.” Emma stated, happy that Maya agreed with her. It felt good to have someone on the same page with you. She had a feeling that they would be best friends in the nearest future, and she hoped she doesn’t get to be like June.

“Well, here she comes..” Maya replied, reclining her back on the wall, as she stared ahead.

Emma, seeing her friend’s line of sight, followed it until it landed on her first enemy since she came into this foreign land. The Blondie was walking towards them, with a smirk on her face.

“Don’t tell me, she is coming over here to sit with us.” Emma muttered, getting angry at the thought. What was wrong with this Blondie? She thought.

“Well, she is.. always brewing trouble.” Maya said, with a hiss which attracted some attention to them. She didn’t care about that. Her mind was on the Blondie approaching them. What tricks does the bitch have up on her sleeves now. She thought, remembering her early teen days and why she never got along with Clem’s twin.

Emma soughed, then turned sideways to glance at Derek.

He was also staring at the Blondie with a blank look. She wondered what was going through his mind. Did he like the Blondie too?

She tapped him.

Derek snapped his gaze away from his beta’s twin sister as he felt the feathery touch of his little witch on his arm. He ignored his wolf’s ramblings and stared at her intently, wanting to know why she had tapped him. He had a feeling it had something to do with the Claire approaching them, rather than their relationship.

“Why is your friend coming here? Can you tell her to sit somewhere else? You can follow her to wherever she is going to sit. I know she’s coming here because of you; but I don’t want her sitting here.” Emma said in a rush, lying through her teeth. Her tender heart would break if Derek followed the bright yellow haired witch to wherever she would sit down.

“I will tell her to go somewhere else then.” Derek replied, sadness colouring his tone, as he turned away from his mate to do her bidding. He didn’t want to offend her more. He also couldn’t wait for the classes to be over, he wanted some alone time with his mate; already missing her special smiles for him alone when they talked.

“Good.” Emma muttered, slightly bothered by the sad countenance on her boyfriend’s face. She knew she had taken things so far, but she was too stubborn to admit that. She knew he would come around to apologise. She would have to wait till then, even though it was killing her to. She had missed laughing with him so much.

“Hey guys.”

A shrill voice cut into her thoughts, making her to cringe with distaste as she discovered who had just spoken.

She looked towards Maya, to see that the blonde was filing her nails with an invisible file, totally ignoring the new face in their midst. She also noticed to her relief, that the professor already left the class; the students were now chattering.

This is going to be interesting. She thought, as she put on her own smirk, while throwing a defiant look to the new comer.

“Well, it seems some people got some stuff stuck up in their ass. Not my business though. Derek could you remove your backpack, let me sit there.” The Blondie said, with a fake smile, as she pointed to the seat next to Derek by his left.

“It’s occupied Claire. You should check out some place else.” Derek said, in a boring voice, as he reclined his back on the wall; earning a smile from his cousin and mate.

“But…” Claire was about saying, when Maya interrupted her rudely.

“You heard him, Miss. Find somewhere else to sit and stop bugging us.” She said, with a victorious smirk on her lips.
