Chapter 3: The second goodbye

Athena's POV

"What the hell are you talking about, Derek?" I said, loud enough for all of California to hear.

"Nothing, I'm joking, you can joke and I can't?" he sighed sarcastically.

"Yes, exactly that" I rolled my eyes. He looked at me for a split second then grabbed by hand and started walking, forcing me to follow.

"Whatever, come on"

"Yeah that's fine just grab my hand and drag me to wherever we're going" I complained.

Where was he taking me? I had no clue. I thought he was bringing me to his car but there was no car in sight. He kept walking me until we eventually got to this random house I've never seen before.

"What is this?" I asked.

"Enough questions, let's just go inside" he said, dragging me into the house.

We walked into the house and he walked me up to a room. It was his house I was assuming. He then finally let go of my wrist and turned himself around to look at me. He looked at me like I was a prized possession of his, he's never looked at me this way before.

"I know i'm not one to act this way, but I actually did miss you every day that you were gone." he said, he seemed genuine about it, so I assume he wasn't lying to me. Maybe he did miss me the way I missed him after all.

"Well, you are partly the reason as to why I left, so the fact we both missed each other is ironic. Considering I would've came back way sooner if you didn't let your pride get ahold of you and not call me at all." I didn't mean for all of that to come out at once but there was no taking it back now.

"I know, it's my fault, but I want us to get past that" he said, sitting down on the bed.

"There is no "us", Derek, your rules, remember? No dating in the pack, you said that when I told you I liked you." I said, sitting on the chair that was in front of the bed.

"Oh so you do still listen to me? I am still your leader? After you left I didn't know what I was to you" he chuckled in a petty way.

"All you are to me is the leader, nothing else. Yeah I missed you and all, but that doesn't mean anything." I said, sitting back in the chair and crossing my legs.

I had to get that part out. I missed Derek but there was no way I would ever want or do something with him. Especially not right now, he has started acting weird ever since the kiss.

"You want nothing to happen between us? Fine, leave if that's true" he cockily said.

I didn't say anything, I just stood up and walked out of the house. I turned around and saw him looking at me from the window, but I ignored him. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and called Malia.

"Athena?! Nice to know you're alive" she yelled into the phone.

"Yeah yeah, wanna meet up somewhere?" I asked

"I was just about to go see Derek if you want to c" She tried to say but I cut her off. "Any place but Derek's" I said, allowing her to now speak.

"Okay? Just come over, I'll send you my location" she said then hung up.

I then walked my way back to Stiles' house to get my car, then I drove to the location Malia sent me.

I got out of my car and saw Malia, she ran up to me and hugged me. She's never been touchy so I found it odd, but I was just happy she didn't try and slap me for leaving.

"You don't have to tell me why you left, I want you to tell me why you and Derek got together." she said in a semi-mad tone.

"Huh? Derek and I never got together, what are you talking about?"

"Him and I just got off the phone, I know he's the alpha and all but really Athena? My cousin?"

"Malia him and I haven't done anything more than kiss twice. He's lying to you then."

"I'm believing you this once, but if I find out you're lying. you're done for"

"Fine." I said, then everything got silent.

"Well.. Derek told me where you've been when you were gone, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little upset when I found out you kept him up to date when you were gone and didn't text or call me." What is she talking about? I have no clue.

"I didn't tell Derek anything, the only way he would know where I was is if he was following m- wait," Everything just clicked. He said earlier I hadn't caught him every time. He was following me when I was gone.. he knows where I was and exactly what I was doing.

F*ck. He knows he isn't the leader of me..
