Hi people, I want to apologize for updating late🙏I've been busy with my project in school😕I'm trying to meet up with the deadline given to us😩but I would try as much as possible to be updating every time I have the time to. 👌✌️

Mae's POV

It's been two weeks. Two weeks of sexual frustration, two weeks of unending studying at the pack library, Derek seems to have tons of book already picked out for me at the library to read for the day.

When we woke up the following day after our massive make out session last two weeks, the first thing I was assigned to was a tutor. The old lady I was assigned to was in her fifties, a short and round woman with always a glass on the bridge of her nose, she's being the one tutoring me for these past weeks.

She said something about equipping me in knowledge about my world. When I asked what the meaning was she asked me not to worry about that until the time comes. So, I have been mostly in the library these past weeks, reading my ass off.

Derek and I haven't had a decent conversation more than five minutes ever since the last time and I have this feeling he's avoiding me. But why? I have no idea. We sleep in the same room but I would have gone to sleep before he comes back and he would have gone in the morning before I woke up. The only time I see him was when I had a break from the library and took a walk to the training center. He also avoided me at the dining, at the dining I met with serveral people, though I tend to avoid most of them. But most people here were kind and accommodating.

Since this last week, I knew more about the pack and how it works, I was told they have over 800 wolcanites in general. Derek and his second in command which is the commander of warriors runs the pack. With that large population, it must have been tedious and exhausting to run this place as smooth as this. But most of them are friendly and warm people.

Unknown to Derek, I use all the twenty minutes break I'm always given to watch him and the others training together and I must say it's a captivating sight always leaving me flustered and hot watching the work and jump of each of his muscles. Most of the guys trains shirtless while female train in their shorts and top up bras. There is something deep inside that is angry at the way all the girls are ogling my man.

My man? Nay! Or.. Yes?.. Since he's my mate right?  I don't even know no more, one time he said he loves me and I'm the most important thing to him and another time he's avoiding me as a plague, maybe he's come to realize I'm not too good for him.

I refuse to cry!  I stood up from my crouched position from where I do watch him secretly and turned to leave.

I was walking in the hallway leading back to the library, my face down and a sullen look. I was feeling dejected and tired all of a sudden, it was still early afternoon and I still have till evening before I'm done for the day. Maya, the old lady tutoring me, was making the reading bearable by telling me captivating histories about Derek's kind and the witches, she's a nice woman and also patient.

I was deep in thought before I saw the foot of a person, probably a woman, the foot was of an adult, I moved my eyes up but before I could fully rise and see the person standing in front of me, a powdered smoke blew across my face and I immediately started loosing consciousness. I tried as much as possible to stay awake and get a look at the person's face but I merely saw a blur picture of someone. I tried to call Derek but I couldn't get the words out.

After little but much struggle on my side. I lost consciousness and fell down.

Derek POV

I intentionally occupied myself in works these past days. Few days ago at the court I was in a meeting with the various head of race. The fae king was also there, we had a discussion about the attempted bridge to my border by a rogue fae, after much discussion I released the boy to Faeryn to punish him according to the Fae's law.
