Alisa
I wake up next to the waterfall with Derrick hovering over me. His gaze is intense, his eyes flashing silver in the approaching dawn. His presence is almost menacing. Opressive.
I sit up and pull my legs to my chest as if it’s the first time he’s seeing me naked. He doesn’t move, he doesn’t even blink, he just keeps staring at my neck, practically drooling.
I’m not even sure he knows I’m awake.
“Di- did it work?” I ask just to break the silence. “Did I shift?”
I know I did, but I need him to speak. His silence is making me uncomfortable. It's unnerving.
I'm achy all over. I'm thirsty and starving. To me, it feels like the day after any other shift. Nothing special about it. Tanya used to call it the full moon hangover.
"Al- Derrick! Did I shift?"
The Alpha comes out of hi
