CHAPTER 11 You're Mine

  Derek's POV

  'Alyssa has been gone a long time,' I spoke internally to my wolf, Nova as I pondered on where my mate could be at this moment 'It's not like her to be out so late,'

  'Relax, don't get your panties in a twist,' Nova chuckled 'She's a young woman who needs to let her hair down once in a while,' he paused 'Perhaps you should have stayed out later,'

  'I wanted to come home to her,' I said in response 'Are you saying Alyssa prefers to be out with her friends, rather than here with me?'

  'I didn't say that Derek, don't put words in my mouth,' Nova said gruffly 'All I meant was Alyssa needs some time with her friends once in a while, without your possessive attitude,'

  'Possessive??' I asked, my inner tone firm and offended 'How dare you wolf, I am not possessive of Alyssa,'
