Nathan's POV
I stretched lazily across the bed, feeling the warmth from the sunlight that spilled across the room. Tangled up in the sheets, I stirred and turned before eventually finding my focus. I sat upright on the bed before yawning.
The spot beside me was empty, but what was I even surprised about? Derrick was the Alpha, and he surely would have left a while ago. It was possible that waking up next to me made a part of his brain ache, and so he had to leave.
I jumped off the bed and grabbed a shirt from my bag. I was yet to hang my clothes in the closet, mainly because there was something about this room that told me it wouldn't last. I wouldn't be here for long. The high would wear off, and Derrick would toss me away back to where I came from, ridiculed and humiliated.
