CHAPTER 106

(Derrick POV)

Why the hell have I been forced downstairs?

I don't wanna be around my family!

I want to be alone!

Do they even care how much pain I'm in?

Urgh just leave me alone to wallow!

"In there now!" Kol snaps, and I lift my head to see Douglas stomping in, sulking like a toddler.

I watch as he leans against the wall as far away from where I'm sat on the giant sofa as possible.

"I'm here. Now what?" He grumbles.

"Come on sweetheart. Just in here." My mum murmurs in a soothing voice; I turn to the doorway to see Virginia nervously stepping foot into the living room.

"What's going on?" Douglas snaps.

"Just hold up a minute!" Dad retorts, "just sit down and listen for five god damn minutes would you?!"

Recoiling from my dad's authority; not as strong as an Alpha, but somehow, somewhat an unnerving tone, Douglas sits down in the armchair opposite the adjacent sofas.
