Chapter 15:

Derricks Pov...

(Before the reunion of Werewolves)

I walk down the stairs to where the prisoners were. The scent of grapes grows stronger as i approach the bottom of the stairs.

"Greetings, Prince Derrick" Wyatt and Henry both greet me as i reach them sitting at a table.

"Hello. May i see the prisoners?" I ask.

"Of course, this way." Henry leads the way down a row of cages. The smell grows stronger and stronger with every step i took then he stops. He stops at a cage where i see a girl inside that is hunched up in the corner. Her hair covers her face making it hard for me to see her face.

"Open the gate." I demand Henry. Henry brings out his key and unlocks the gate. As i walk in, the girl lifts her head slightly but her face was still hard to see.

"You may leave." I say to Henry.

"Call for me when you want to leave. Excuse me." Henry walks back down to Wyatt who was a few cages away from us.

I turn around to face the girl on the ground. She doesnt move. I dont move either.

"Why are we here?" I ask Tristan, my wolf.

"I-I don't know." He replies.

"Who are you?" I ask the girl. She doesn't move but i saw a little flinch, due to the power in my voice.

"I said, who are you?" I say again, with more power in my voice. Her wolf couldn't resist my question due to the power i had over her.

"Fiona." She whispers. The little whisper from the girl made my heart jump. I started getting butterflies in my stomach and this is all because of a voice?

I approach her and crouch down, leveling myself to her height.

"Show yourself." I say softly. She shakes her head slightly.

"Please?" I plea to her. She sniffes and slowly lifts up her head and the first thing i saw were her eyes.

"Mate!!!!" Tristan screams in my head.

I can't believe it. I found my mate. Just looking at her made my heart leap with joy. I felt happy. I look softly into her big brown eyes and i swear my heart skipped a beat. She was beautiful. Cheesy, i know.

"You're beautiful." I whisper as i place my hand on her cheek. Tingles made its way up my arm. It made me shiver.

Tears started to fall from her eyes. I panick. "What happened?!!" Tristan screams in my head.

"Why are you crying?" I say softly to her as i wipe her tears away using both my hands.

She stands up and backs away from me. My wolf whimpers. "What happened? Are you alright?" I ask worriedly. As i take a step towards her, she only takes one step back. My wolf wimpers even more. I was hurt.

"She doesn't want us." Tristan whimpers.

"Why?" Was all i managed to choke out.

She sniffles. "We can't be together." She says.

"Why?" I say more sternly but confused at the same time.

"I'm a black werewolf." She says with a cracked voice.

My heart breaks as i see her cry. I can't stand seeing her cry knowing that I'm here to comfort her. She was right though. She's a black werewolf.

"So what?!" Tristan says angrily at me.

"No one will accept our relationship. You know they are already killing black wolves. I'm a prince. I can't let my people down." I reply to Tristan as i just stare at my mate.
