Pleading

Derrick's POV

Timothy and I turned back towards my office. I couldn't stop thinking about a few things. The thoughts were getting swarmed up in my head.

This was around the time of the annual gala party I hosted. It was a party thrown mainly because of the need to foster peace. Other alphas were invited, dignitaries were present; it was a place consumed with the power from others and the aspiring ones.

Now, this was an event I held every year for over three years now, this making it the third year. I made it into a tradition to have everyone present, mainly because of the benefits that come with a good old time amongst people who were simply like me.

Powerful alphas.

Knowing this, the councilmen still brought Quinn along. It was too perfect for this to be seen as a simple coincidence. It was as if they had planned it already.

"Derrick?" Timothy called my name when we walked into my office.
