They stopped at his house and Luna led her girls up to Maxwell's office, Maxwell specially asked his two son's to go away for that time, so they won't see the two girls before the ball tonight.

"Please have a seat, i hear you have some pressing matters"

"Yes, tell me Maxwell, this ball you have ronight, is it for werewolves only?"

"Yes, sorry of i didn't inform you of that"

"No this is perfect"

Luna turned to Kara.

"This will be a very difficult decision for you Kara, but its one you have to make"

"Ok" Kara said confused.

"Remember your little blood ingest episode?" Luna asked and Kara's heart sank, she totally forgot about that, and she started liking Derrick on top of that.

"Yes" She halfheartedly answerd.

"And you know what you must do?"

"Yes"

"You must make a choice now"

Kara wanted to become a wolf so badly, but not a half wolf, a full one, and be able to defend herself.

"Let me give you a heads up little Kara" Maxwell said.

"I knew a lady who also ingested blood that forced an awakening on her, the problem with such an awakening is you need to hunt down this person, which mentally stimulates the wolf, and then kill and eat him, so the physical stimulus can happen"

Maxwell lit a sigar and puffed on it "If you don't succeed in doing this within the first month, you will remain a half wolf, forever"

"Are you sure?" Kara asked.

"Yes, the woman is s.h.i.+va Black, she's now forever stuck a half wolf, because her lover was from the Fenrir clan, and they had to be sneaky about their love to each other, but when they were discovered, Michael Black killed her lover, and forced her to drink his blood. s.h.i.+va became a half wolf as her punishment, and because the one person who could fully awake her was dead, she's stuck like that"

"His own clan member, how cruel" Sasha said.

"That's not the half of it my dear. Dianne and Michael had lives before they met each other. Dianne had three daughters with another wolf whom i don't know, anyway, the girls were triplets, one named Silvia, one named s.h.i.+va, and you'll recognise the third one, her name is Elsje"

"Elsje is Dianne's daughter!?" Luna asked.

"Yes, and s.h.i.+va was Michaels stephdaughter. Michael on the other hand also had a child with another wolf, his name, is Seth"

"What!?" Kara yelled flying up.

"So hes Derrick's half brother!?"

"Yes dear" Maxwell said.

Suddenly Kara knew why she hated Derrick so much in the beginning, why he reminded her so much about Seth. Luna watched her daughter in shock.

Kara knew, if Derrick was his brother, then Serh would somehow find her through him, and she would not allow that.

"Mom, i need to kill Derrick"

Luna nodded and looked at Maxwell, his face was shocked.

"You took blood from Michael and Dianne's son?"

"Yes"

"Well, i know Elsje is more the thinking type, Derrick won't know how to run Black alpha oils, so of Derrick is removed from the picture, Elsje gets lead table, and then well continue living the wealthy life we live now"

Kara nodded "how?"

"Can you maybe, invite him to the ball tonight? Only werewolves will attend, so if you s.h.i.+ft to kill Derrick, you won't be breaking any rules"

Kara nodded again, she somehow felt happy now that she got so close to him this past week, it means she could lure him into this trap much easier.

***

Derrick was busy under his car again from early in the morning. Weekends had a different routine since he didn't have to walk to school; breakfast, then into the garage for some physical exercise. His father taught him to stay busy, it helps alot for his condition, so punching the bag for an hour, weight lifting, rope jump, only after Derrick had broken a proper sweat would he go take a shower, then start with his car. Laying down there he remembered the times he spent wih Michael, this car was his idea, he wanted a small car that could go fast, a 'sleeper' he called it.

He missed his father, yes he was hard on him, training him in all sorts of nonsense, but at the end he was rewarded for his efforts, though not something great, only a simple slap on the back and a 'Good job son'

He layed his tool down, giving a moment of silence for his dad, but then the thought of Seth crossed his mind, and suddenly he felt like he needed a bigger tool. Derrick hated Seth, since a young age there was this brotherly rivalry between them. It was so intence at one stage that at the age of thirteen he and Seth were in a motorcycle race, obviously for juniors, but the bikes were still rather fast. Seth purposefully clipped Derrick's front wheel with his back, Derrick went down at top speed, but as he hit the tirewall the bike struck him in his chest, he heard from doctors that the brake clipper just missed his heart, and he still has this ma.s.sive scar on his chest where the bike struck him. Derrick felt himself getting angry and slid out from under the car "b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" He threw the spanner down. It was an up down battle with Seth his whole life, he'd beat Seth at something, then Seth would just beat him in something else, untill the fist fights started. They would beat eachother senseless, the triplets always watching from the sidelines, and always ended in a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. If Seth managed to knock him down before his eaps kicked in, he won, but if Derrick's condition kicked in in time, he'd almost kill Seth, but was never awake to see the results, a b.l.o.o.d.y viscous circle. Then on that final day, the last time Derrick saw Seth, was when Seth beat him again, but threw him down a cliff, trying to kill him, and to this day the acars on his body would remind him to keep training what Michael taught him, and exercise every day to make himself stronger.

He drew a fist and struck the punching bag hanging in the garage, then bashed away on it to get rid of his anger, but a hoot at the gate outside made him stop. He opened the door and saw Luna's Bentley, suddenly his heart felt calm as a placid lake.

"Hey!" Kara called climbing out.

"This is a surprise" He said coming over.

"Yes, I came to ask you if you want to come with me tonight? My mother's company is having a masquerade ball, and i need a partner?"

Derrick frowned at her, he couldn't remember if Elsje would ever be intrested in a masquerade ball?

"Uh, sure, I guess? What should i wear?"

"A neat tuxedo, well get you a mask"

He felt uncomfortable about things like this, but if it was time with her, he'd take it.

"Ok, ill see you tonight"

She happily nodded then climbed into the car.

'A masquerade ball?' Derrick knows this sounds like something Maxwell would do... 'Oh please dont tell me Luna's working for him!?'

***

Derrick was dressed in a tuxedo that belonged to Michael once, now watching himself in the mirror, he wondered if he looked like him too? It bothered him that Elsje sent Luna to go work for Maxwell. Maxwell was a sly a.s.shole, he remembered how his mother and farher had an argument about him.

"The f.u.c.ker just wants more money Dianne! He doesn't need it! Give him a finger and h.e.l.l bite off the hand! He's a greedy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" His father yelled.

"I know! But his machines are high grade, our plants need new equipment, better equipment, when we place that into working, then well better the all round production rate of our mines"

"Yes! I understand that, but think for yourself, were already doing so well, why push more? Aren't you happy as we are now? Maxwell will eventually try to overrun us i promise you! And doing more than needed, that's a real Maxwell way of looking at things"

Derrick heard his mother sigh "You're right, lets leave him out of the picture"

Elsje was the one who signed a partners.h.i.+p with Maxwell right after his parents died, Derrick heard about it and confronted her.

"Didn't my farher say Maxwell was a scam!?"

"Don't worry Derrick, i have him by his b.a.l.l.s, its my goals to eventually buy him out" was her answer.

But Elsje is a girl, she was only twenty three, there's no way she can outsmart Maxwell.

The hoot at the gate made him close up the house and head out, in the car he saw only Luna.

"h.e.l.lo" he said climbing in "Where's Kara and Sasha?"

"Already at the ball, i wanted it to be a surprise"

"A surprise?"

"You'll melt at Kara's feet, i promise you" She slyly smiled.

The direction they were driving confirmed it to Derrick, they were intact going to Maxwell's place.

"You working for Maxwell?"

"Yes, he's been nothing but kind to me, thanks again Derrick"

He smiled at her, but his heart sat in his throat, what sinister sweet talk did he get to reel her in, the f.u.c.king jackal!

When they stopped at the mansion, there was already alot of people standing around, many went quiet when they saw Derrick climbed out, he even heard one woman whisper 'its the heir of alpha oils'

He wasn't liked here, he was the one focusing on his dads insight on how to run the company, not Elsje's. If Maxwell industries could somehow grab fifty percent shares in alpha oils, Michael's company was as good as done for, Maxwell would seep into it like a bacteria.

"Derrick, what a hansome surprise" Maxwell said coming over, for Luna standing next to him's sake, he smiled.

"Maxwell, you look good, whats new?"

"Alot of things son, product markets are through the roof thanks to our partners.h.i.+p, and its only going better from there"

"Thats great, will Elsje be joining?"

"Unfortunately not, she has errands to run"

Derrick nodded, secretly wanting to adress her about this foul move.

"Go to the garden" Luna said pointing at the tables set up with all sorts of small bites and champagne "We'll join you shortly"

Derrick felt like an bushbuck t.u.r.d in a strawberry batch, this was not his scene at all, way to upper cla.s.s, he'd rather still be under that Avante righ now.

He took a gla.s.s of champagne and sipped it, his face soured up, sweet, but that bitter alcohol taste along with the gas... How can people stomach this stuff? For the sake of not looking too awkward, he kept the gla.s.s. A young girl wirh a pretty dress came by and handed him a wierd broken looking phantom of the opera mask, he took it and she moved on to the next 'Seriously!?' He asked placing the mask on, it somehow gave him a little sense of security. Then through the holes in the mask his eyes caught a woman approaching him, a slender white dress more formal than fancy, shoulders exposed, chest revealed to such an extent that it was not too much, but not enough. She smiled as she approached, the mask covered only her eyes, he was wordless.

"Hey handsome" Kara said.

"You? You look" He never knew this was how beautiful she was, he always saw her either in a s.h.i.+rt with jeans, or in her school uniform.

"I look how?" She said inspecting herself "Is it too much? Because i frankly feel naked in this, sheesh im not use to it"

He laughed "Well im glad to hear its still the same Kara, even thou you're a bombsh.e.l.l now"

She looked up at him again " A bombsh.e.l.l? So you like it?"

"Of course, you look stunning" He said, she smiled again, but her eyes fell on the champagne.

"Hey! Are you drinking?"

"Well om not eating this liquid if thats what you're asking?"

She laughed "Well, i guess we can bend the law just for tonight" She said and also took a gla.s.s.

The sun was almost gone, Derrick and Kara spoke to each other the whole time, She went into a stroll making him follow automatically, they headed through Maxwell's well kept front garden, then to the left of the house Kara stopped at a garden table made of steel but in a beautiful pattern, even the steel chairs were nicely designed to match the table.

"I want to ask you something Derrick" She asked placing her gla.s.s down.

"Go ahead"

"What's your kind of girl?"

"Someone like you, i guess"

"Why me?"

"You're stubborn, you're not afraid to say whats on your mind, you're funny, and kind"

"So im not pretty?"

"Thats just a bonus" he chuckled "You asked for my kind of girl? Looks isn't everything" he said, remembering Natasha not being the prettiest of girls, but still so much fun to be with.

Kara smiled "I have a surprise for you, would you mind waiting here?"

He nodded and Kara came around the table.

"Before i go, kiss me"

"Wh, what?"

"Just kiss me"

He leaned over and placed his lips to hers, their kiss was normal at first but it slightly intensified, she then backed off gasping, her cheeks red "no no, lets leave that for later" she smiled "Wait here" Kara ran to the house. Derrick felt turned on, he twisted his body away from the house, fearing someone might see the b.u.mp in his pants, this Kara had him like a deer in headlight's, f.u.c.ksakes, she keeps on showing him the trailer, byit still holds the full movie at bay. Heart pounding and mind racing he anxiously stood waiting for her, looking up to the stars, he turned and saw the full moon it was beautiful, just as this night was so far, biyt then a noise made him look down, standing in front of one of the parked cars, was something he couldn't comprehend, big, hairy, sharp ears, claws, and fangs snarling at him... Is this some kind of joke? He twitched making it roar and charge.
