Begging for survival

This story follows the story of the only female pure blood hunter Alexandria and alpha Derek, you can read it as a standalone book but it may get a little confusing at some parts, to avoid that, check out the first story “Begging for rejection”, thanks for reading, sending you love and appreciation. - Alexandria POV Things have been tense since the news of the premonition, plans are in place but no one made a move yet which feels like the calm before the storm and what a storm it’s going to be. Adam left after he explained the premonition to Derek and I, months ago…Yes, Adam, I refuse to call him Dad just yet, I’m still a little shocked and confused by everything he explained about that dreadful night, when I lost my first mate Luke and my unborn baby girl along with the rest of their pack. Right now I’m sitting with Derek, Dean and Max talking… more like arguing and I’m pretty sure each one of us is ready to bite the other’s head off. “Why are you still here again?” Derek asks Max with one eyebrow raised “For the thousands time, I’m here to protect Alexandria, she needs my protection now more than ever” Max says annoyed which of course was met with a growl from Derek, “Do you think the Luna of the Crimson river pack needs protection from a mere hunter?” Derek says leaning forward in his chair and glaring at Max, yeah, they don’t like each other very much. “Mere hunter? I’m Maximus Venatores; I’m a pure blood hunter, one of the strongest bloodlines matter of facts” Max says huffing “, and I was the one who saved Alexandria the first time and helped her hide from the hunters” Max continues avoiding looking at me. Max although is my best friend and more like a brother, He knows he is still not fully forgiven for hiding the fact that he was there the night Luke was killed or the fact that he helped his sister Leila escape and that she is still alive…my gut tells me he is hiding something else though. “You also failed to protect her when my father attacked her” Derek says through gritted teeth and Max stiffens, it was a hard memory, one that resulted in us losing our baby even though we didn’t know I was pregnant yet, I want to say something but Dean, Derek’s younger brother and beta beats me to it “That’s not fair Brother, he fought Six werewolves and almost died himself trying to protect her” Dean says calmly, Although he doesn’t like Max either but Dean really grew calmer, more level headed in these troubled times, unlike his emotional old self… I think finally knowing that Amelia is his true fated mate really helped him somehow. Dean only saw Amelia, his so called mate, once after her so called wedding, when his mother died, it was as brief as it could be but I guess it was enough for him. “Okay enough with this s**t, you are going to wake up the babies, they are finally asleep so Sophia and Dylan are going to kill us if they do… hell, I will kill you” I say whisper yelling. Sophia and Dylan are the pack’s gammas, they had their babies 3 weeks ago, it’s been crazy here, Sophia refuses to relay on the omega saying that’s not how she was raised, “this is a family that will be raised by family” she says, well, that’s four f*****g babies which means I stay up with Sophia and Dylan all night most of the nights, ‘you are their god mother’ is what she uses to lure me in. However that stopped two days ago when all three of us accidently dozed off on the bed with Dylan in the middle, Derek came to check on me and found me almost cuddling with his gamma who happens to be also his cousin but that didn’t matter because all hell broke loose. It took Derek’s beta and younger brother Dean, a couple of warriors, a yawning Sophia and a lot of crying babies to keep him from killing Dylan and calm him down. So now I spend extra time with the babies during the day so they can rest a bit or I just take one of the babies to stay in my room during the night just to avoid crazy alpha Derek’s reaction, it kinda serves as a punishment for him as well, I’m too tired to set him straight these days. “Okay, this argument is over, my luna doesn’t need your protection so you may leave” Derek Says coldly “Yeah, whatever… I’m staying, she is not really this pack’s Luna anyways” Max says Standing up from his chair to leave but he doesn’t have the chance because Derek pins him to the wall by the throat “What did you just say?” Derek snarls in Max’s Face, “Not this s**t again” I say groaning Max gets out of Derek’s hold only to be slammed back to the wall with Derek’s other hand, Max can fight Derek but Derek would win specially since Max can’t use his silver daggers because then I would kill Max myself. “Derek, let go of him, please” I command more than plead, Derek lets go of him and glares at me. “He wouldn’t be able to say crap like that if you just-” Derek starts and I cut him off “We agreed it’s not the right time” I say firmly “Yeah right, that’s the reason” Derek says unconvinced going back to his chair to sit. Most of the pack are treating me like I’m their Luna already although it’s not official yet while the rest is still reluctant so I don’t know what’s the big deal is. I thought it would be best to wait before we made any thing written in stones until we know more about this premonition and its precautions, that includes him marking me… he was not so happy about that either, but we still don’t know how the marking is going to work, He is technically not my mate anymore, that word “technically” pisses him off but it’s the truth, no one told him to reject me… okay, fine, I kinda might have begged him to do so. In conclusion, everything is up in the air right now and in these wary times everyone is on edge. - Two days later Derek POV “You son of a b***h” Alexandria yells at me “You call yourself the alpha slayer?” Alexandria continues her scolding “No, I don’t call myself that…people call me that” I answer smirking which seems to enrage her even more “I don’t care what you are called, you are still a coward” Alexandria screams at me, okay, now she is taking it too far as she usually does and I won’t take it “Listen here mate, call me whatever names you want to call me, I’m still not going to do it, and I hate to sound like a d**k but that’s what the omegas are for” I say firmly “So you are still not going to do it… you are backing out from this?” she says with a fake disappointed look “I’m not backing out from anything if I’m not the one who volunteered in the first place” I say throwing my hands in the air. “It doesn’t matter we are in it together, you are supposed to have my back” she starts yelling again “Love, I’ll always have your back…but I’m not changing that stinky diaper” I say trying to calm her down, I know she is tired and haven’t slept well in days “But this is a part of babysitting, and I promised Dylan and Sophia that we will take the babies for the afternoon, this is a right of passage to become uncle and auntie” she says trying to convince me or maybe convince herself, clutching a clean diaper in one hand and a diaper cream in the other, exhaustion is getting the better of her “Ria, we are automatically their uncle and auntie and we are already their godparents, we don’t need to do this to become one, so let go of the diaper love and let’s go start a war or kill someone or something… anything is easier than this literal s**t” I say calmly as I remove the things from her hands and she starts to nod slowly “Yes, I’ve already changed too many diapers… they do poop a lot” she says agreeing with me “And there are four of them” I say trying to lead her out of the nursery room, she is already sleep deprived trying to help Dylan and Sophia all night and day with the babies, that’s why she is easy to manipulate right now. I open the door and the four omegas I requested through mind-link are already there “Why are they here?” Ria asks confused “To take care of the babies while you take a nap …or maybe we can do something else” I say with a wink “Yes, a nap sounds great” Ria says, not the answer I was looking for but I’ll take anything, I’ve missed her so much, she has been spending a lot of time with the babies I barely see her anymore. I carry her bridal style and head towards our room, she is already yawning and her eyes are fluttering close. “DEREK” Dean shouts, Ria jerks up almost falling out of my arms, “The babies” she says in a panic “What the f**k do you want Dean?” I ask clenching my jaws “You’ve been summoned by the alpha king” Dean says and I almost drop Alexandria on the ground.
