Staying Away

Derrick's POV

"Alpha, he will be fine. The unhealthy smoke got into his lungs, and since he didn't have any wolf, it affected him. But I have been able to neutralize it," she said, standing to her feet.

I nodded as I stared at Nathan, who was still unconscious on my bed. "When is he waking up?"

"Soon," the healer responded.

"Thank you," I said and took the seat beside him, my eyes still fixed on him.

The healer gathered her things and left while I continued staring at Nathan, who remained unconscious.

"What is wrong with me?" I whispered to myself.

"You like him… just accept it," my wolf whispered, and this time I couldn't deny it. I was feeling something strange for Nathan… a feeling I wasn't supposed to feel for a man I claimed to seek revenge on. I am not bi or into men. I have only been with ladies, but ever since Nathan came into my life, he has made me question my sexuality.
