Mel POV:
I sit legs cross on one of the couch in Derek office waiting for him to finish with the file he was rounding up with, so we could discuss the plans for the Alpha procession. I am soon, also deeply engross in my thoughts.
Sharona wouldn't request that I kill my mother will she?!
I thought, with no answer to that particular question. True, Mathilda is not my biological mother, but I've grown to recognize her and accept her as my mother. I sign out loudly.
"A penny for your thoughts," said Derek suddenly,sitting right in front of me now.
I jolt, surprise by his sudden appearance and question. I didn't even notice when he got right in front of me.
"Stop sneaking up on me like that, Derek!" I shout at him, hitting him lightly on the chest.
"Ouch! That hurt..." he said playfully.
