SHE WILL COME BACK

Derek watched with a bland look on his face, the flow of activities around him. He had left his room since six am to the training grounds, pulling and lifting up weights. He was tired now, but his mind wasn't. He couldn't stop thinking of his wolf, and Emma.

The field now, was filled with members of his pack and that of his cousin's training. He could see Brandon instructing some werewolves from where he sat on a huge rock. He was depressed.

"Hey Coz!"

"Derek!"

He turned aside to see his little sister and his cousin approaching him. The last time he had seen them, they had been whispering about what to get him for his birthday.

"Hey little sis…"

"Hey Coz…"

He muttered, attempting to place a smile on his lips, but he ended up scowling.

"Are you okay, Derek?" Eva asked, as she allowed him to carry her on his lap.

"Yes, I am. Just tired hon." He said, shifting his gaze to Maya who was staring at him sadly.
