Summary
     A reluctant Derek finishes college and heads back to Beacon Hills to
     take on his mother's alpha duties. Unfortunately, he's not quite
     ready for it and a certain smell only makes things a lot more
     complicated.
     -“God, what's my problem? It was just a smell! I shouldn’t be
     irritated like this. I don’t even know where was coming from.”
Notes
     About six months ago I fell in love with this ship, I was fan of the
     show already and just saw some Au's on Instagram and now I'm
     obsessed, Like really obsessed! I read about 30 fanfics and counting.
     LOL
     I woke up from this dream I had about Sterek and then I started to
     write this fic.
     I have never written any fanfic in my entire life so be kind to me.
     Since it's an AU and a lot of people is alive, the characters'
     behavior is kinda different. This will be POV Derek and Stiles, but I
     can do others if you guys want. Ideas are welcome. Ask and you shall
     receive, Maybe! :P And I will try to post once a week.
     ######################## THIS MEANS POV CHANGING.
     "Italic text in the story." And this means a thought from a
     character, whether or not I say specifically in the story.
      
     I hope you like, and let me know! xoxo

     happen!*
***** One *****
Derek just sat there on the edge of his college dorm bed, looking at nowhere,
waiting "I'm not ready for this." He thought. You would think that after seven
years of intense training with his mother that he would be. But how he was
going to take care of a pack if he didn't even know what he was doing with his
own life? Because really, what has he done to show that he was worth it? Well,
he did let his first girlfriend die, which it was his fault by the way, not
long after that, he fell in love (again) with a psychopath that murdered
several members of his family, including his dad. Said psychopath, had asked
Derek to mate her, so they could be together forever. "I'm not ready yet." He
had answered her. She wasn't happy about it, in fact, she got really mad at
him, saying. "You lied to me, Derek! If you're not ready then I'm not your mate
at all!" But Derek hadn't lied to her. Later on, he figured out it was just
blind passion and a stupid mistake of not hearing his wolf properly. And that
mistake had cost his family.
On top of that, his mother was constantly telling him that he needed a mate and
should stop fooling around with a bunch of strangers to focused on finding a
mate. Just one more motive for his mother disappointment at him. But Derek just
really did NOT want a mate, like ever! Okay, that wasn't entirely true, but he
really didn't want to fall in love again just to end up badly one more time,
just couldn't do it anymore.
So yeah, he was not worth it at all, even his mother knew that. But OOH the
universe had chosen him! Well, the universe was wrong this time! Laura should
have been born with this tattoo not him, she should have been born a werewolf
not him. Derek sighed, hearing his best friend entering the room.
"Are you ready?" Isaac said touching his shoulders.
"No." He answered his best friend.
"Yeah, me neither, come on let's go." Yeah, there was that too, he had to
choose someone to be his second in command. Great, another thing to add to his
guilt party list. Well, there was nothing Derek could do about all of that in
that moment, if ever. So he got up, got his belongings and followed his best
friend out from the college dorm.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
When Derek got home, his mother was waiting for him on the front porch with a
beaming smile. He could not resist and smiled back at her. God, he loves her so
much! He walked towards her, dropped his baggage and gave her a hug.
"I missed you, honey!" Derek's mother said, crushing him tightly. "Come,
everyone is here to see you, both of you" She looked at Isaac who was beside
Derek, waiting for his turn with their Alpha too. She hugged Isaac as well and
motioned for them to enter the house.
Derek got into the living room and saw Peter sitting at the edge of the couch,
resting his head on the backrest, Malia lying down on her father's thigh, legs
on Erica's lap. Cora beside Erica, Boyd on the floor between Erica's legs.
Laura sitting on the other couch beside Deaton's daughter, Breaden. Deaton by
the fireplace and Claudia sitting in the armchair beside him. Everybody talking
to each other happily. "The Sheriff and Melissa probably are still at work." He
thought. Looking at the scene it felt good but at the same time, felt like it
was missing something. Not being able to pinpoint what, he pushed it aside.
Erica got up to her feet the minute Isaac stepped into the room and was
throwing herself at her brother. If he wasn't a werewolf they would be on the
floor. Derek shook his head smiling, he missed his pack and for a moment was
able to forget about all his responsibilities. She stretched an arm and grabbed
him too for the hug. As he hugged her back, everybody got up and came for a big
pack hug bonding. "Yeah, feels good to be home." He thought.
"I missed you guys!" He said, into the group hug. Everybody was saying they
missed them too.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
They all had dinner at the Hale house, talking about what each one of them did
that year, and what they gonna do this summer. Cora and Erica went on and on
about the trip they were going to do next week, Boyd and Isaac were talking by
his side, Laura was talking about her job at SID (Supernatural Investigation
Division) with Breaden-they both worked there- and his mother was talking with
Claudia and Deaton. Derek didn't attend one of those dinners for over six
months, last year of college was hard.
After dinner was over and everyone -who didn't live at the Hale house- was
gone. Derek took a bath and went to his room closing the door, he was really
tired. A knock came to his door and his mother entered his room.
"Derek," Talia called him. He looked at her listening. "How is the search for
your mate?" Derek rolled his eyes at that.
"Mom, I told you, I'm not getting a mate." He bluntly told her, looking
seriously at his mother.
"Derek," She sighed. "You can't do this, you need a mate! You will be an alpha
Derek, you have a pack to take care of"
"Mom not every werewolf has a mate, even alphas." He closed his arms across his
chest.
"Son, how many times I have to tell you, Claudia saw you with a mate on her
vision!? And since we don't know who it is, you have to look for them!" She
raised her voice a little, irritated by her son.
"You said so yourself on our training, not every premonition is accurate."
Derek said, also irritated. It's not like he didn't think about it, or wanted
if he was really honest with himself. But he just couldn't do it, period. He
sighed and said, tired. "Can we not talk about this right now? I just got home
mom."
She scratched her forehead, "Okay, you're right, I'm sorry. Good night honey, I
love you." With that, she exited his room closing the door
He woke up early the next morning and went to a run at the preserve after
breakfast, while running, decided to go for swimming at the lake, -it was
really hot that day- getting by the lake Derek heard voices. "Great, the kids
are here." He thought, almost giving up and getting back, but there was a
smell, he was drawn to it. The scent was so good that Derek just kept going
without even thinking. By the lake he saw, Melissa's son, "Scott ." he
remembered, "The boy who was bitten by my mother when he was little and almost
dying. " a brunette girl with Scott at the lakeshore, two other boys he didn't
know and a redhead at the water. Looking at the scene he saw, another boy
running towards the water. "Claudia's son but wow! Was he, really?" The boy
looked beautiful, his smile was gorgeous, pale chest with moles all over, flat
stomach showing. The boy was smiling at his friends and running to jump in the
water. Derek stopped, thinking. "Where's the smell coming from?" Not wanting
to go any closer to risk Scott hearing him. He shook his head out of the
thought, and the boy. Turned around and jogged back home.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Hey man!" Isaac said with his mouth full of cereals as Derek entered the back
door into the kitchen.
"Morning." He said opening the fridge to get some water.
"I was thinking, we should go swimming, is so hot today."
"Nope, the kids are there, Claudia and Melissa's sons and their friends." Derek
said sitting by his best friend at the kitchen table.
"So? They're pack, you should get to know them better. Besides, they're not
that younger than us you know." Isaac said with one eyebrow raised.
"No Isaac, I'm not in the mood!" He answered, got up and out of the kitchen.
"God, what happened?" His friend asked following him to the living room where
Derek sat in the armchair and Isaac on the couch beside him.
"I just don't wanna be with a bunch of teenagers" He answered -not lying
exactly because he really didn't wanna be with a bunch of teenagers- without
looking at his friend. "God, what's my problem? It was just a smell! I
shouldn't be irritated like this. I don't even know where was coming from."
Derek's mind went to the boy again. "Was the smell coming from him? No, nope,
don't go there Derek. Just stop thinking about this."
########################
Stiles entered his house calling for his mother, she called back from the
kitchen where she was by the stove, making dinner when she turned around to
look at him.
"How was the lake?" She asked.
"The water was very refreshing, we did a jump competition, which Scott win, of
course, damn his wolf powers. We did a little hiking, not my greatest moments
by the way but I managed without any breaking bones." He stopped noticing he
was rambling a little. "Yeah, it was good, what's for dinner?"
"I'm making lasagna. Where were you yesterday, when Derek came home?" His
mother asked.
"You know, helping Scott get rid of his fleas, poor guy was very itchy." His
mother scolded him with her eyes.
Stiles rolled his eyes at her and said. "Mom, he doesn't like me, why would I
be there?"
"Sweetheart, I already told you that's not true. Derek just had a lot on his
mind for those past seven years, after his father died. And he's our future
alpha. You should have been there, and Scott too. I know that was your doing!"
She pointed a finger at him.
"Dad didn't go too" He pouted.
"Stiles, your dad was working you know that, so was Melissa!" She turned back
at the lasagna.
"Fine! I'm going next time." He said, walking towards the stairs to take a
shower.
"Good. Next Sunday, dinner time with the pack as always." Claudia smiled.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Starving, after taking a shower and put on some clothes, Stiles went to the
kitchen again, to wait for dinner.
"Want some help?" He asked his mother.
"I'm almost done, but you can set the table, your dad is coming home any
minute."
"Okay!" He said happily
His mother was a great cook and the lasagna was delicious like always, so
Stiles ate too much and decided to watch a movie downstairs with his parents
for a while before getting back to his room.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Oh my God Scott, you gonna give me a heart attack someday!" Stiles jumped and
screamed when Scott climbed the window into his room as he opened the door.
Scott rolled his eyes at him saying. "I told you I was coming here after I
dropped Allison at her house." With that, his friend sat at the edge of the bed
by the window.
"Right. So, my mom asked me why we weren't there for dinner yesterday, at the
Hale house, and we have to go next time."
"I told you she wouldn't like it."
"Yeah, well, I didn't wanna go! What's the point anyway? I'm human, not really
pack material." He sighed, thinking. "Why am I not a witch like my mother? "
"Stiles, you are pack and you know it! I think you and me know why you didn't
really wanna go." Scott said with a questioning look, like saying was about
time they talk about it.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Stiles crossed his arms over his chest
looking at his bestie with a frown.
"Yeah, you do! Before Derek started training with his mother and stopped
talking to us, and more importantly giving you attention, we were always there
with your mother and Talia." Scott looked at his friend expectantly.
Stiles sighed, looking at the ceiling. "I don't even know why this bothers me
so much." He thought. "I got over it already Scott, we were kids and he was a
teenager. It's fine really, I don't care anymore." He said throwing his arm
down.
"Fine, let's play some video games then. That is why I came!" Scott smiled
sitting on the floor and grabbing a controller.
"You came so I can kick your little Wolfie ass!" He laughed sitting beside his
bestie.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The week passed really fast, too fast for Stiles' liking, really. He had gone
to the lake with friends, movie, a sleepover with Scott and bowling. Which
Jackson kept insulting his skills, "Or lack of it." all night, and bragging
about his, Scott making out with Allison, Lydia talking with Danny about
fashion and him, being insulted. "It was a great night." He thought
sarcastically, with himself. But that wasn't the worst that happened that week,
no. The worst was when he saw Derek at the mall, he said hi and waved at the
man and got absolutely no response, just a frown on Derek's face, as if Stiles
hadn't showered for weeks. "What's up with that? I took a shower before getting
out of the house!" He thought with a frown of his own, smelling himself
discreetly. Then Derek shook his head waved back awkwardly and walked away.
"Okay, what just happened?" So, tomorrow was Sunday and Stiles really didn't
want to be, because he wouldn't be able to skip pack dinner this time.
########################
Derek was pacing in his bedroom, "This can't be happening!" thinking with
himself. "No, no, really, it can't, what am I gonna do?" He stopped pacing and
putting his hand on his face "Simple, I'm going to ignore it! Maybe it's not
really what I think, maybe Stiles really smells good for everyone. Yeah, that's
probably it! Because, why now? I know him since he was a little baby. Or maybe
it was coincidence and the scent wasn't coming from him at all." A knock came
on his open door, startling him, it was his mother.
"Derek, dinner is ready."
"Coming." He followed her to the kitchen table.
Isaac, Cora, Erica, Peter, and Malia were already at the table. His mother sat
at the head of the table and he sat at the other. Peter beside his mother with
Malia, Isaac beside him with Erica and Cora.
"We are going for our trip Monday, Derek. You should come." Cora said with a
smile.
"I can't, I have to start working, but thanks." 
"It's okay honey you can go and start next week." His mother said. Derek was
going to work at her law firm.
"Come on Derek you had no fun for years, let's go with them, please!" Isaac
said with puppy dog eyes, looking expectantly at Derek.
He thought a little in between bites, looked at his baby sister and said.
"Where are you going?"
She smiled at him with hope in her eyes. "We're going to the beach, Laguna
Beach, we have a house rented for the whole week!"
"Five days?!" He said, not really a question. "Okay, I guess I can wait for
five days to start."
"Yes!" Came from Cora, Isaac and Erica, he smiled a little at them. "Maybe this
is what I need to take that boy and smell out of my mind. Yeah, that will be
good."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
It was Sunday and some of the pack were already at the Hale house. So Derek was
with the door opened sitting in the armchair in the office/library reading,
when his nose caught that scent that was making him crazy for days in his mind.
Derek was so caught up in the book that didn't even realize when he was out of
the library and in the living room in a few seconds. When he got into the
living room and saw Claudia, John and the boy, the latter closer to him by the
four-seat couch greeting the rest of the pack, he froze. "Yeah, the scent is
definitely him, fuck!" Claudia looked at Derek's panicked face, with a smug on
her face, as if she knew what he was thinking.
He shook his head, faked a smile and went to greet his pack members, for his
relief Stiles looked at him irritated and went to Scott's side on the floor on
the other couch. He breathed out and went to the kitchen were Laura and Breaden
were, making dinner. Every Sunday, two of the pack members cooked for the rest.
Isaac was helping them, with almost the same expression of his own, when he
discovered the scent was coming from Stiles. A wave of jealousy and
possessiveness came crashing down on Derek, who didn't even realize his eyes
were flashing blue and his teeth were showing until Isaac was touching him and
saying.
"Derek, I'm freaking out! I need to talk to you, stop whatever this is and come
with me!" His friend said grabbing his arm and pushing him towards his mom
office, where they could talk freely since the office (and the bedrooms) were
soundproofed. Derek shook his head again. "Damn it! What is my problem, I don't
even want him anyway." He thought while following Isaac to the office, who
closed the door looking at him panicked.
"Man, I think I just found my mate!" Isaac's voice was of horror and joy at the
same time. Derek's eyes flashed blue again, he had to breathe and calm down not
to rip his cousin's throat out right then and there.
Isaac looked at him with a confused look on his face. "What the hell is going
on Derek? Why are you acting like this?"
"Who is it, Isaac?" He asked with a serious face and a frown.
"Scott." Derek relaxed immediately at that.
"Ooh, really? Are you sure? I mean, you know him for years, Isaac. Why now?"
Though Derek didn't know if he was asking for himself or his cousin.
"Yeah, I'm sure! It's his smell, smells like mate. I can't really explain." His
best friend smiled but his smile vanished right away. "He has a girlfriend, for
years now! What am I gonna do?"
"I don't know, wait? Scott's a werewolf too, he probably knows already and will
be coming for you, if not, talk to him."
"What if he doesn't want me because of her?" Isaac had that puppy look on his
face.
"That's ridiculous he's a werewolf he can't resist the pull as well. Calm down,
Isaac. we have a dinner to attend." Derek said, walking towards the office door
when his friend stopped in front of him.
"Who is it, Derek?" Derek froze looking at his friend with fear in his eyes.
"Who is what?"
"You were all wolfie at me until I said Scott's name! You found your mate too,
didn't you?" Isaac had a smug on his face.
"I'm not telling you anything! And besides I don't want a mate, it doesn't
matter anyway." If Derek said he didn't find his mate, Isaac would know that he
was lying, so why even bother.
"Keep lying to yourself." With that they got back to the kitchen -none of them
wanting to get back to the living room- to help finish the dinner.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
At the dinner table, Derek noticed, Isaac and Scott exchange shy looks, Stiles
avoiding even looking at him, Claudia watching him and her son, smiling like
she knew what was happening. Maybe she did. "She's a powerful witch." Derek
couldn't shake the feeling he was getting towards the boy, feelings of need and
want. To get to know Stiles better, make the boy like him. He didn't even
realize he was staring at Stiles until the boy's brown eyes met his. Derek's
heart jumped when the boy's eyes locked with his, started to beating so fast.
Stiles' was with his face relaxed with the conversation of their pack members,
but when he saw Derek's eyes on him, his face changed to a confused and
surprised look. Stiles smiled a little on the corner of his mouth. It was
beautiful and Derek couldn't look away, but a hand on his shoulders made him.
It was Isaac, with a smirk. "Damn it!" He thought as his cousin took the hand
out of his shoulder and said by his ear.
"It's Stiles isn't it?" So low that no one heard it (Hopefully). He nodded, not
wanting to draw attention to them, and shoved more food into his mouth.
The rest of the dinner went fine. When everybody was finished, Talia told Cora,
Erica, Scott, and Stiles to do the dishes since he and Isaac had helped to make
the dinner. The elders went to the living room to talk and Malia to watch TV.
Laura and Breaden went home because tomorrow they have to wake up early for
work. Derek grabbed Isaac by the arm and went to the office again, while they
were exiting the kitchen, he saw Scott looking at Isaac but not so shy anymore.
"What is it, Derek? Scott is in the kitchen I wanna be there with him, why
don't you wanna be there with Stiles?" Isaac's face was both irritated and
amused.
"Promise me you're not gonna tell anybody. Promise me, Isaac!" Derek's eyes
flashed blue.
"Jesus, fine, can I get back now?" His cousin said, more irritated now.
"Thank you."
Isaac went back to the kitchen to help them and spend some time with Scott.
Derek passed in front of the kitchen door, looking inside, Stiles was laughing,
Cora with her teeth and claws showing, Erica between them but not doing
anything to help. Derek entered the room fast and was at his baby sister in a
heartbeat.
"CORA!" He said looking at her blue eyes with his, also blue.
"He started it!" She said with a frown, pointing at Stiles.
"I don't care, he's human!"
"Fine! I'm out, you can finish all of this alone Stiles." Cora looked at Stiles
and then she was gone with Erica.
He sighed and turned around to the boy. "Here, let me help."
Stiles smiled and walked to Derek's side to help him wash the dishes, while
Scott and Isaac dried. Derek smelled the happiness that was emanating from the
boy and couldn't hold the smile of his own. "You have to stop this you can't do
this, you can't have a mate." He thought to himself. But Stiles was so close to
him that he just couldn't think straight. So he decided to leave as soon as
possible, thus he finished the dishes as fast as he could.
"I'm going for a run." He said and left, smelling the boy sadness and
confusion.
########################
Stiles was looking at the man before him, leaving at the back door, thinking
that what he saw at the dinner table was his imagination. "Of course it was."
Why would Derek look at him like that? He sighed and turned to his bestie, but
he saw Scott talking in a low tone with Isaac, and there was a moment that
their shoulders bumped a little. Someone less observant wouldn't have caught
this, but this was Stiles. He frowned. "Was Scott flirting with Isaac?"
"Scotty buddy, are you two finished? Derek and I already did." Isaac was
putting away the last plate.
"Yeah." Said Isaac and Scott at the same time.
Scott blushed a little. "Oh my God, Scott was flirting with Isaac!" Stiles
looked at his friend with wide eyes.
"What?" His friend asked.
"What? Nothing! I'm just gonna go, chill in the living room, you know because
I'm tired of all that cleaning and all." He said with his thumb pointed to the
kitchen door. With that, he left as fast as he could without making it
suspicious.
Getting at the living room his mother called him, she was sitting on the edge
of the four-seat couch while Peter and Malia were at the other end of the said
couch. His mother patted the couch beside her and he sat there.
"Where's Derek?" His mother asked.
"Went for a run." He answered with a heavy sighed.
"Hey, Stiles wanna play some game?" Said Malia beside him.
"Sure." Peter turned to look at him with blue beta eyes as a warning.
"Peter!" Talia said to her brother flashing her red eyes at him. "You have to
stop this nonsense with your daughter, she has no friends because of you, and
Stiles is pack!"
"Just ignore him!" Malia said rolling her eyes and pushing Stiles away from her
crazy dad.
The rest of the evening was good, he played some board games with Malia, Isaac
and Scott, and gave his number to Malia. Talia said she missed him and Scott
and they should come more often, like when they were kids. Scott got happy with
what his Alpha said and nodded happily. They parted ways with their parents and
when Stiles was entering his father's car, he saw Derek coming from the woods
and going inside the house. His heart jumped a little at the sight of the man
and he could swear that Derek looked at him as his heart jumped.

     not my first language!
See the end of the chapter for more notes
As Derek was finishing getting ready for their trip, he heard Isaac and Scott
at the back of the house, they sound like they were fighting, so Derek went to
see it. Isaac was finishing a blow on Scott's side and he saw Derek watching
them.
"We're training a little before the trip. Scott wanted to improve his fighting
skills so I offered some help since I will be second in command and all. Wanna
join us?" Isaac asked beaming at him.
They didn't do that for a while, and that's like their second nature as wolves.
Derek thought about it for a minute, he wanted to, but Scott was there.
"Come on Derek! We don't do that for ages, please." His cousin said with a
puppy face. God, Derek hated that face.
He sighed "Fine."
They trained for about an hour or so, Derek noticed Scott a little stiff with
him at the beginning but started to loosening bit by bit, and then looked like
he was comfortable. Derek could feel the tension between Isaac and Scott, when
they touch each other, smell the desire in them, see how Isaac was holding
himself back, and so was Scott. "That's probably because of Scott's girlfriend.
Did Isaac tell Scott about them being mates? The kid probably didn't even know
about it, since we, wolves don't share much about their culture and stuff, so
the humans can't know much." The three of them stopped when Cora got out of the
house with her bags in hand and an impatient look.
"Are you two ready or what?" She asked Isaac and Derek. "Hi Scott, what are you
doing here so early and where is your other half?" She said a mix of sarcasm
and annoyance then turned around, not waiting for a response at all.
They all said their goodbyes and parted ways, Scott went home and the rest got
into their cars for the trip to Laguna Beach for the week.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
After they got to the Laguna Beach, Cora wanted to go to the beach right away,
she and Erica ran to the water. Derek grabbed Isaac's arm before his cousin
could follow the girls, and waited until both girls were out of earshot.
"Did you tell him?" Derek asked Isaac.
"No, I didn't, he has a girlfriend, I'm gonna take things slow and see what
happens"
"I don't think you should do that, I could see that he's feeling the pull and
he probably doesn't know what it is." He said to his friend with a concerned
look.
"But I could scare him and drive him away, I'm not risking losing my mate, you
don't want yours, but I waited for this moment since I was old enough to
understand." Isaac was looking at the sand with his puppy face, Derek can't
resist that face.
He nodded to his friend. "I understand." Then they follow the girls to the
water.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The four of them didn't do much that first day, everyone was tired with the
drive and end up sleeping when they got to the house. In the morning when they
got to the beach again, It was full of people, all ages. Erica wanted to go
diving and Cora wanted to flirt with the lifeguard. Apparently, tomorrow will
have a boat party at night and said lifeguard invited her and whoever she
wanted just as long as she went, she could bring anyone. The lifeguard was very
interested in Cora. Derek didn't like the idea very much, but he was the only
one that didn't wanna go.
"We're so going! There's no argument!" Erica said pointing a finger at Derek.
She did not care about defying her future Alpha when she wanted something.
"Come on big brother. We're gonna have fun, you can find a pretty girl to spend
the night with and you don't even need to see her again, just how you like it!"
Cora said with pleading eyes. God, he's so soft with those two.
"Fine, but he's too old for you, I don't want you out of my sight." She beamed
at him and they enjoyed the rest of the afternoon at the beach, did some boat
tour and a little diving. In time for dinner, they went to the pier restaurant
and ate before coming back to the house.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The day of the party, Erica and Cora went to the mall, claiming they didn't
bring appropriate clothes, Derek and Isaac spent the day downtown exploring the
city and the four of them met back at the house in time for the party. They
arrived at the boat party and the girls went dance as soon as they got there.
Derek and Isaac went to the bar, leaning on the bar each one of them got a
drink.
"That girl is eating you up with her eyes." His cousin said laughing a little
and pointing out a girl with his head. Said girl, was at the same bar, a few
feet from them. She had dark brown hair, a great curvy body, was wearing a
tight black dress and looking at Derek with a flirty smile. The girl was indeed
beautiful, but Derek didn't even get remotely interested. All he could think
was that Stiles was much better than her so why even bother.
Cora approached them, leaning beside her brother. "Are you gonna keep staring
at her or are you making a move already?"
He looked back at his baby sister at where she was between Isaac and himself.
"None." And he was sipping his drink again.
"What?" Both Isaac and Cora said. Derek just looked at them with a blank face.
"Since when you don't wanna leave with a pretty girl from a party?" Cora asked
bewildered.
"Since now Cora." He responded and walked away from them, stopping at the edge
of the boat looking into the sea. "Great now I lost interest in other people."
He sighed.
########################
Stiles woke up on Friday morning with his cell vibrating again, he grabbed his
phone, opened one eye and saw a text from Malia. She was texting him a lot
these days, and yet he just didn't stop thinking about Derek. How Derek looked
at him at the dinner, how he smiled at him doing the dishes, but at the same
time Derek had walked away after that, without saying goodbye, without even
looking at him, he just took off.
Malia:
Hey, what are you going to do today? I'm bored already.
Stiles:
Nothing planned, what you have in mind?
Getting up from the bed, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, afterward
to the kitchen to eat something. His mother was in the backyard taking care of
her plants, Stiles opened the back door, called her and went to the fridge,
grabbed some milk, and some cereals from the cabinet. With his breakfast in
hand, he sat at the table. Another text came and then another.
Malia:
Dunno, wanna go to my aunt's house play a little?
Scott:
Dude, need to talk to you, are you home?
Stiles sat there thinking, as his mother came and sat by his side. This strange
feeling settle inside him that, he shouldn't go spend time with Malia, felt
like it was wrong somehow, but at the same time, Stiles wanted to go and to see
her, even more so Derek. Since they would be at the Hale house and not actually
at Malia's house, Derek probably would be there, eventually. He wrote back to
her, telling that he was going in an hour and to Scott that yes he was home.
Stiles had noticed that Scott had been too quiet this week and now his best
friend needed to talk. "Something must have happened."
"Good morning sweetheart"
"Morning mom." He answered with a smile.
"Is there something in your mind that you wanna talk about son?" His mother
said like she was reading his mind, she does that a lot, I guess maybe is her
witch powers.
"I'm having these strange feelings mom, and Malia and I, we're talking a lot
these days, but I don't know."
"I thought that you liked Derek." She looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"What? I never said that! Besides, Derek does not like me, in any way." He
shrugged.
"Honey you don't need to say it. I think you are wrong about Derek, you should
talk to him. " She said, looking at him with a smile.
"Maybe, I'm going to the Hale house in a bit, with Scott." He lied but didn't
know why.
Finishing his breakfast Stiles headed to the bedroom, to change clothes. Scott
was already there waiting for him, but this time Stiles was expecting it.
"Hey man, What's up?" He asked his bestie.
"So, mm, I love Allison." Scott said.
Stiles laughed. "Really? I didn't know that I thought you were kidding when you
told me a million times for the past two years!" He said ironically.
Scott rolled his eyes and said a little irritated. "I'm serious, Stiles! I'm
trying to tell you something!"
"Spill it then." Stiles was thinking about Sunday with Isaac and Scott
flirting. Scott didn't say anything, just kept looking at him with does damn
puppy eyes. He raised an eyebrow at his friend. "Is this about Isaac? Did you
cheat on Allison?" Stiles' eyes were wide and his mouth a little open.
Scott froze and gaped at him before opened his mouth to say. "NO! I did not! I
would never! Why would you think that?" His friend answered with a surprised
tone, but Stiles didn't say anything, just looked at his bestie with both
eyebrows raised, with an 'I'm waiting' face.
"I don't know exactly but Sunday when I saw Isaac I felt something like I
needed to be near him, I wanted to talk with him, and then I was talking with
him about my fighting skills and he offered to help. Before I knew I was saying
yes and Monday I went there to train, the feeling grown and I wanted to touch
him so badly. It's like my wolf wants him, Stiles! What am I gonna do? What
does that mean? I love Allison, why am I feeling this?"
Scott said this with the most broken puppy face ever and Stiles just wanted to
hug his friend, so he did, remembering that werewolves liked the proximity and
stuff.
"I don't know buddy, but you need to figure it out before something happens.
It's gonna be okay though, whatever this is, I'm sure of it." He smiled and his
friend relaxed a little. "And since we're talking about feelings. I think I'm
into Malia, I'm gonna see her today at Talia's."
"What about Derek?" His friend asked with a confused look.
"Geez, what about Derek? Stop that, I don't like Derek that way." First his
mother now Scott, but didn't he, really? He didn't know, okay maybe he did, but
the guy just didn't give him the time of day in years so why bother with this,
and Malia is nice, beautiful and looked like she was into him too so.
Scott looked at him with a disbelief face. "Fine, when you gonna see her?"
"I'm just gonna take a shower and go actually, we're gonna play some games,
maybe see a movie and sorts. You know just hang out, just the two of us." He
answered and headed for the bathroom.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
He parked his jeep by the Hale house and when was getting out of the car, Malia
was already opening the door and waiting for him smiling widely. Her smile is
so pretty and Stiles found himself smiling back at her.
They played cards and board games, Malia always managed little touches at his
hand and shoulders, and when they got sick of games she wanted to see a movie.
The two of them sat on the couch. Malia was so close to him, her hand almost
touching his, after a while, she came even more close to him and he let her.
Stiles could feel Malia coming closer and closer by the minute. He closed the
distance left and covered her hand with his own. She looked up at him, Stiles
could see the decision forming in her eyes and head, her face got even closer,
and before he could do or say anything she was kissing him. There was no tongue
at first, her lips soft on his, then she opened her mouth a little and her
upper lip was in between his lips. She deepened the kiss, he went with it and
opened his mouth too to fit her properly, in no time there was tongue. With one
hand on her waist and another on her neck, Stiles was pulling her closer.
Malia's hands were on his thigh and on the couch.
Between kisses, they heard someone coming -Malia heard actually- and she just
stopped the kiss. He looked at her surprised and content when they parted lips,
she had a shy smile on her face. Feeling pleased, Stiles caught her hand,
intertwining their fingers.
It was night already and Talia was home, the Alpha passed them in a hurry and
opened the front door. Cora entered the house first, then Erica, Isaac, and
finally Derek. Stiles' heart started to jump when Derek looked at them on the
couch, the man had his eyebrows knit together. Malia squeezed his hand as to
reassure him it was okay. For a brief moment, he saw Derek's eyes flashing blue
but then said man was on the stairs up to his room in a heartbeat. "He's
probably warning me about his little cousin, Peter would be proud." He thought
sarcastically to himself.
"I should go home." He said getting up.
"I'll walk you out." She said grabbing his hand again and heading for the door.
Malia kissed him again by Stiles' jeep before he climbed in.
"So, is this a thing? Are we a thing I mean?!" He asked her, blushing.
"I want us to be, do you?" She answered biting her lip. Stiles thought it was
so adorable, he smiled and kissed her again.
"Yeah, definitely! I want us to be very much a thing."
########################
Derek was fighting all his instincts not to get back downstairs and growl at
his baby cousin, he was furious, his eyes were beta blue, fangs and claws
showing, ears lengthen. "Why she had her hand on Stiles'? Why were they so
close? He's mine!" He thought, growling loudly, incapable of controlling
himself. Derek heard Isaac coming, so he took a deep breath, and managed to
stop the change and get back to his human face.
"What are you doing Derek? Why are you letting him go? I know you got pissed at
what you saw, I saw you, I could smell you!" Isaac said with concern and
disbelief on his face.
Derek sighed. "I told you already, I'm not doing this thing, I can't. And you
only saw it because I was caught off guard, you know that."
"What about him? He should feel the pull too." His friend asked
"No, he doesn't, not exactly, humans feels the bond like a crush when starts
and after it settles it's like deep love, they don't feel like we do. Stiles
will be fine, well he is fine already with Malia, maybe he's not even feeling
anything because I'm fighting it." He said with a sad but determined face.
"Okay, how do you know that? Are you sure?" Isaac asked.
"Yes, the other day I did a little research because I didn't understand why was
happening now since I know Stiles forever."
"Well?" His cousin said expectantly
"Apparently, it only occurs when both parts are ready." He said reluctantly,
looking at the ground.
"Is that so?" Isaac said with a big smug, laughing.
"Shut up Isaac!" Derek said getting out of the bedroom.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The next day, Saturday, Derek was getting back from his morning run and his
mother was in the kitchen waiting for him.
"Son, we need to talk, come to the office when you finished showering." Talia
said.
He nodded and went to take a bath. The office/library, where Derek spent
a lot of time over the past seven years studying as part of his training, was
big since it had several archives about werewolves costumes, cultures, and
stuff like history of their ancestors, it had books about ceremony and rituals
of all kinds, not only werewolf but others supernatural beings as well, and
also had a lot of journals from others alphas. The library part of the office
was divided into subjects, creatures (which were locked up) and normal books.
So Derek knew exactly which part to avoid not read about mates and mating. When
he got at the office, his mother was already there sitting in her chair behind
the desk, he closed the door and sat in front of her.
With a sigh he said. "Mom, if this is about the mate thing."
She interrupted him. "It's not, I'm not talking about this with you anymore,
I'm sad because I wanted you to be stronger, to fully shift like I could, and
most of all I wanted you to be happy but if you don't want then fine."
Derek felt a terrible son yet again. "I just keep disappointing her." He sighed
again.
"Training is over honey, I need you to get closer to the pack Derek. I know
that they trust and respect my choice to make you their alpha so soon and
therefore they already kind of trust and respect you, but you have to show them
that you care and that you will continue to be worthy of said trust. A good
alpha has to be able to help, understand, support and comfort, not only put
them in their place." His mother said, looking serious.
"I know." He nodded, feeling the weight of her words, knowing that he had a lot
to prove not only to her but for the whole pack as well.
"I know that you aren't ready, and I'd postpone the Alpha's ceremony, but you
have to get closer to all of them, otherwise the ritual won't even work, okay?"
She had a concerned face but yet smiled at him waiting for a response.
"Okay, mom, I will!" He said and the boy came into his mind. "Maybe it's okay
to get closer to him, be his friend."
########################
Stiles was finishing getting ready to pick up his girlfriend when his mother
came to his bedroom and sat in his desk chair.
"Are you going out?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to the movies with Malia." He said cheerfully, but couldn't
shake that strange feeling again.
"What? You're going on a date with her?" His mother asked a little harsh.
Stiles turned to look at her confused.
"We're dating yeah, it's that a problem? You don't like her?" He asked a bit
stunned, Claudia always liked everybody, she was always so kind.
"It's not that, I like her just fine, she's pack, but" His mom paused and
scratched her head. "she's just too young for you!" She said not stopping the
harsh tone.
Stiles gaped at his mother with wide eyes. Was his mother thinking he might do
something Malia didn't want? That he would push her to do so? That didn't make
any sense, didn't she know her own son at all? Besides, Malia wasn't that
young, and she kissed him first!
"I'm not gonna make her do anything she doesn't want mom, and it's just two
years!" He said a little outrage.
Claudia winced a little shaking her head. "Of course not sweetheart, I know you
wouldn't. But she's fifteen, and her father is Peter. He will murder you if you
so much as look wrong at her, you know that!" She sighed and said. "Just think
about it okay?"
"He's not gonna kill me, maybe a little torture, some body parts may be ripped
out of me, but kill, nah, he wouldn't." His mother was not amused when left him
in his bedroom. Stiles finished getting ready and got out to pick Malia up.
He stopped at her little house a bit further into the woods after the Hale
house, Peter was standing there with a murderous face. Stiles winced and his
mother's voice echoed in his head. "Oh God, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!"
Peter started walking towards his jeep when Malia got out of her house fast and
passed her father to get to the jeep first. She was beautiful, wearing a
strapless green dress, wavy hair down on her left shoulder, and she was beaming
at him with a little blush.
"You look beautiful" He glanced back at Peter. "Your father looks like he's
gonna kill me, slowly and painfully." Waving at Peter, Stiles saw the guy
smirking at his words.
She laughed. "Thank you." With a little kiss on his lips, she waved goodbye at
her dad and climbed into the jeep.
Their date was really good, the two of them watched an action movie, went to a
diner to eat, then ice cream. Although Stiles was happy with the outcome, he
just couldn't shake that strange feeling of wrongness. He parked in front of
her house and got out of the car to accompany Malia to her door.
"I really enjoy our date, will I see you tomorrow?" She asked.
Something turned in his stomach, the thought of Derek knowing that he and Malia
were together, that the man was going to see them together. But Stiles could
not say any of this to his girlfriend, nor should he think about it and think
that this was wrong. He could have a girlfriend he's single, was at least.
"Pack dinner right, I'm pack, so yeah, I'm coming, and because I wanna see you
too. If you want I can get here earlier, then we can do something or whatever."
He said leaning for a kiss on her lips, with his hand on her cheek.
She giggled. "I will like that, yes. Good night boyfriend."
"Goodnight beautiful." Stiles said and started walking to his jeep.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
He got home and that uneasy feeling still hadn't gone. Stiles' parents were in
the living room talking to each other while the TV was on in some kind of talk
show. Stiles and his parents talked for a while, he told them about his
girlfriend, the Sheriff was happy for him, but Claudia didn't say anything, her
son didn't know what to think about that.
"What do you think about us making some cookies?" His mother asked him.
"Yeah, and we could make more for the pack dinner tomorrow because your cookies
are the best and we just can't, not share with them! It would be a crime!" He
beamed at her.
She laughed and they went to the kitchen to make the cookies.
"Aren't you and your friends gonna do something this summer, like a trip or
others things teenagers do?" Claudia asked her son.
"I don't know, Allison and Lydia went to France again this year, I think they
will get back in two weeks or so and Scott won't do anything without her. So I
guess nothing till they get back. Well, I guess it's okay, now I have a
girlfriend too, maybe I won't want to, do things without her either." His
mother didn't say anything, just smiled and kept making the cookies. When they
finished, it was late and time for bed.
That night Stiles dreamed about Derek, in the dream he was looking into Derek's
eyes, just like that day at pack dinner, but closer. They were standing in his
bedroom, Derek started leaning his head closer as to kiss him, but before they
could kiss, Stiles woke up. With his heart pounding in his chest, Stiles didn't
know if he was relieved or sad that he woke up. He rubbed a hand on his face,
up and down. "God, I'm going insane, we barely talked in years. Sure we got
along when we were younger, Derek taught me how to play basketball, lacrosse
and all. But now he is more like a stranger. Maybe I should get to know him
better, to see what this thing is, maybe I just miss my friend too much. Yeah,
definitely, I'll do that."
Chapter End Notes
     So, I know a lot of you don't like Stalia, but I can assure you this
     is a STEREK fic so, don't worry we're gonna get there I promise!
***** Three *****
The sun wasn't high in the sky yet but the bright light of the morning was
invading his windows. It was too early to wake up on a Sunday, but since Stiles
couldn't sleep anymore after the dream he had about Derek, he got up stumbling
through his room and down the stairs to go to the kitchen and have some
breakfast, his mom and dad were already up and eating while comfortable talking
to each other, this sight makes him feel warm inside.
"I made pancakes, you want some?" Claudia asked with a fond smile.
"Do I want some pancakes, hm, let me think, am I still alive? Of course, I want
some awesome mommy pancakes." His mom beamed at his words. "So, mm, Derek
wasn't going to become Alpha when he got back from college? What happened?" He
asked sitting beside his father.
"I remember that Claudia, did Talia change her mind? John asked, curious.
"No, she didn't, she just postponed a bit, so Derek could be more participative
with the pack, get to know everyone better." His mother answered them.
"I guess that makes sense, he was training a lot and barely made it to the pack
dinner those past few years, especially last year of college." Stiles stopped,
thoughtful, remembering those past seven years when he barely saw Derek at all
and felt a wrongness in this, he imagined what would it be for Derek, to be
away and a bit distanced from his pack. "This is probably difficult for him
maybe I should help we were friends once." He said, with expectant eyes at his
mother. Stiles didn't know why he was waiting for her to approve of it.
"I think that would be great, sweetheart!" Claudia responded with a radiating
smile. Her son smiled back, happy with the approval.
After eating, Stiles decided to take a quickie bath, refresh himself a little.
He didn't take long and was back to his room in no time remembering the promise
made to Malia. Stiles wasn't feeling like going early anymore, but then again,
maybe Derek would be there too and they could talk, so he texted his girlfriend
to let her know he was going in an hour or so.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Since was summer and the schools were closed the usually empty streets were
full of kids running around or riding their bikes happily thus Stiles had to
drive his Jeep slower to the Hale house, at least till he got in the open road
that led to the preserve. Stiles loves the trees, the smell of fresh air and
nature, also the silence of the woods. The Hale house wasn't very far, so he
got there in a few minutes. He climbed out of his Jeep and headed for the door
to knock. Derek opened the door stepping aside for him to enter and his heart
skipped a bit, he cursed himself knowing that the werewolf could hear but Derek
was smiling at him and Stiles couldn't stop the contentment.
"Hi." He said a little shy.
"Malia went to her house and told me to tell you she will be back in a bit."
Derek said closing the door while he was stepping into the house.
"Thanks. So, I heard the ceremony was postponed." Derek looked like he was
ready to bolt or something.
"Yes. I need to do some things first." The man answered.
"Yeah, I know mom told me. Did you start already? If you want I can help you,
we could do some things with the pack members that you aren't close. I get
along with just about everybody really, people just like me, I'm awesome!" He
said smiling.
"Not Cora though." Derek laughed.
Pointing a finger at Derek, he said. "Well, she killed my cat!"
"Really Stiles, really? She was seven!" Derek said smiling amazed.
"Whatever, it's not like she tried to amend things ever since, quite the
opposite actually." He sneered noticing that Derek's expression has softened.
"So, what do you think? You didn't answer me, about me helping you and all." He
asked expectantly looking at the man before him.
Derek's eyes locked onto his and he was lost in those beautiful pale green eyes
for a few seconds, but Derek stopped their gaze, looking past him. He wondered
what was the man looking at and looking backward to see what had caught Derek's
eyes he saw Malia coming.
"Sure." Derek said walking away. Stiles couldn't help the disappointed feeling
of see the man walking away from him once more.
"Hey." Malia said leaning to kiss him.
Stiles hesitated for a moment, drawing a frown from his girlfriend, but
returned the kiss.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
"No." He was saying but remembered she would know that he was lying. "Well
kinda is your dad here?" He deflected instead, and she laughed grabbing his
hand.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The Sheriff and Deaton were going to make barbecue, in the back of the house
had a big grill with a wood table not much far from it. Everyone was already
there in the back of the house. Stiles spotted Derek with Laura far away from
everybody and suddenly he felt a need to get away from Malia so Derek wouldn't
see them together.
"I'm gonna talk to Scott." Stiles said leaving her side. Fortunately, Malia
nodded and went spend some time with Cora and Erica while he headed to where
his bestie and Isaac were.
"Hey, Scotty, Isaac!" He greeted them feeling relieved. "I'm starving, hope the
food is ready soon. We should do something meanwhile."
"Yeah, what about basketball? As you know, we have a basketball net a little
further the house." Isaac said. Stiles saw Scott smiling at the blonde. "God,
Scott got it bad for Isaac, poor Allison."
"Sure, It can be fun, should we call the others? Not the girls though because
Cora will make my head be the net and I will probably not be able to eat
because I'll be at the hospital." He said.
Isaac laughed. "You got that right, I'm just gonna ask Derek and Boyd, then we
can go."
Boyd didn't go, but surprisingly Derek did. "I think he's getting serious about
the 'get to know the pack better' thing." He thought, asking Isaac to teamed up
with him so Derek could talk more with Scott. They were having fun like years
ago as if no time has passed at all. Scott and Derek were getting along very
well which was odd because Derek it's not very talkative. "I guess the wolf in
them recognized each other." Talia called them to eat almost an hour after.
Walking back, he grabbed Derek's arm to talk to the man and notice the man's
eyes intensely looking at where he was holding, he didn't let go, it felt good,
felt right, and Derek didn't say anything.
"Hey, I saw you with Scott, and I think it's great that you're taking this
seriously. You should sit by Deaton's side talk to him a bit, I'll think about
what we should do about the others. Here put your number on my phone." He
smiled at Derek waiting for a response, but Derek just nodded and did what he
said.
The table was full of chatting people, Derek talking with Deaton across from
Stiles enthusiastically, Deaton seemed very pleased. Stiles felt a wave of
happiness and contentment with Derek's response to his help then the man looked
at him like knew what he was feeling, swallowing and looking down, he felt his
stomach turn slightly. "What is wrong with me I should not be feeling this
way." Malia put her hand on his thigh, leaning towards him.
"Are you okay?" His girlfriend said in his ear.
"Just thinking about some stuff, don't worry." He gave her a small smile.
"Okay."
Stiles looked back at Derek and saw the man looking irritated this time, he
frowned a little but kept eating normally, trying not to think or look at Derek
again. They all finished eating and like always Talia selected four of them to
do the dishes, since last time he was one of the selected ones, this time
Stiles went to the living room where some of them went to chat or watch TV.
########################
Derek stopped at the doorway to the living room and had to restrain himself
when he saw Malia sitting almost on Stiles' lap with her legs on it, and her
back at couch arm. The jealousy and possessiveness tightened his lungs, making
him growl, but fortunately, the wolves were too caught up in their own affairs
to pay attention to him. So he clutched his hands to staid himself, on the
doorway where he had stopped. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Derek
walked quickly to Isaac and Scott's side, on the far side of the room, by the
wall. Derek noticed their proximity and decided he had to do something to help
Isaac, thinking that it would be easy enough since Scott was obviously feeling
the pull as well.
"Scott, you should come again to train with us this week, we could even play
basketball again if you guys want." Saying this, he smelled the contentment and
hope on Isaac.
"Yeah, I'll come," Scott said a little anxious. "Can Stiles come too?"
"Sure, why not."
"Cool." The kid said smiling.
The three of them chat a little, but Derek decided he would have more time with
Scott on training. Deaton and Melissa, however, didn't have much time on their
hands with the job at the hospital. Derek spent the rest of the night talking
with Deaton and Melissa, but all the while sending some glances to Stiles,
sometimes reciprocated, other times the boy was too caught up with his pack
members and didn't notice him, Derek felt a little sad about this, but since he
didn't want a mate he let it go. Well Derek wasn't sure anymore, being around
Stiles made him questioned what he really wanted, maybe he could think about
trying. "Terrible time to change your mind, now he's dating your baby cousin. I
just have to wait, right?!" He thought, distantly.
"Derek, are you listen?" Deaton asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Sorry, I'm kinda tired I should go sleep. It was nice to talk to you both." He
said and started to say his goodbyes to the rest of the pack as well. Stiles
was standing with his cousins and Scott. Derek went to say goodbye to them.
"I'll text you, Goodnight Derek." The boy said, with a small smile and a hand
on his arm.
He felt that tingling again, like before, when the boy grabbed him earlier,
that feeling made him want to hold Stiles tight and never let go, but he
couldn't, so he responded and walked away to his room. "Did Malia notice me? I
hope not, I hope my training with mom paid out, and that I did manage to hold
my emotions and smell." He shook his head and went to the bathroom take a
shower before bed.
After a long relaxing shower, he got dressed in only his boxers and laid down
on his double bed looking at the ceiling. Derek just couldn't stop thinking
about the whole day, an hour has passed, and the slumber wasn't even near to
come. He got up, opened the door to listen if the pack had gone home. The house
was quiet, so he guessed they did. He called Isaac needing to talk with his
best friend who appeared in a bit sitting beside him on the bed.
"I thought you were sleeping. What's up?"
"How are things with Scott?" Derek asked.
"I think, is going really good I can feel he wants me as well even if he's
afraid because of Allison, but she's in France right now, so I have some time
to win him over. I really want this Derek, and I appreciated your support
today. Thank you."
"I know, you don't have to thank me, it's my job to help all of you."
"What about you and Stiles? Are you really letting him go? I don't know man I
think he likes you, not Malia." His cousin asked concerned.
Derek sighed deeply. "I don't know anymore, after today, but I can't get
between him and Malia. That's not fair to either of them."
"Maybe you could talk to her, she's a werewolf, she'll understand."
"That's out of the question, no!" He said brusquely.
"Well, then I don't know what you should do." Isaac said.
"It's fine I made my choice before this happened. Now I have to wait and see.
If he's happy with her and they end up lasting together, I'll be fine. I just
want him to be happy even if it's not with me." Derek said looking at the
floor.
"You're insane Derek! If your mother discovers this, she will kill you, and me
for not telling her what you're doing. You do know you will never be happy with
anyone else right?" Isaac said with a serious face.
"I know and like I said, I made my choice a long time." He said yawning. "I'm
gonna try sleep again I work tomorrow."
"Okay, goodnight." His cousin said getting out of his room.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Monday was a calm day, he worked a little bit late, got home and relaxed till
bedtime. Tuesday, when Derek got home from work, Scott and Stiles were already
there with Isaac. He shouldn't, but it felt so good to see the boy there. They
trained Scott for a while but not long since Stiles was there and the boy was
looking bored just watching them fight, Stiles was sitting on the ground
resting his back on the tree near them, the wind was making the boy's hair sway
on his forehead and he was biting his lower lip looking lost in his thoughts,
Derek rested his glance on the boy for a few seconds before calling them to
play basketball, this time he teamed up with Stiles because he wanted to be
closer to the boy as well as he wanted to let Isaac with Scott. Surprisingly,
Stiles was better than Scott that day, and they won. After the game, the boy
went to Malia's house to eat dinner with her and her father, Derek hated the
idea but didn't say or did anything.
The next day he was swamped in work, his mother let him in charge of a big case
with a supernatural murderer, so he spent all day gathering information and
evidence to present the case, it was very hard since the guy's family was
suing, and pleading for innocence. When he finally gathered enough and was able
to go home, was already late and Derek was exhausted. Getting home he went
directly to the shower since he was desperate to go to bed and sleep. Finally,
laying down on his bed with a heavy sigh and closing his eyes to sleep, his
phone lightened up with a text, but he wasn't irritated by this, it was Stiles
after all.
Stiles:
u up yet?
Derek:
Yes.
Stiles:
I was thinking, you should come to dinner tomorrow, at my house, mom's doing
lasagna, you could spend some time with my dad.
He thought about it for a few minutes because being in the boy's house, with
his smell all over it, Derek was already going crazy when the boy was at his
house and every time he saw Stiles the feeling grew and it's getting more and
more difficult not to steal the boy for himself. His wolf is going crazy, and
it's very much pissed at Derek, to be fair, he is pissed at himself too. What
was he thinking? Another text shook him out of his thoughts.
Stiles:
If you don't want it's okay, I just thought that would be good for you to get
closer to my dad too, and my mom was thrilled with it, but I didn't confirm
with her yet so.
He sighed. "I'm so screwed."
Derek:
I'm just really tired, but yes dinner sounds fine.
########################
Stiles was lying sprawled on the floor of his room, doing nothing whatsoever
because he already had played video games, online games, read a book and didn't
feel like doing anything else. Scott was doing God knows what and he was alone
in his house with his mother, waiting for Derek, fortunately, it was almost
time for dinner with the man and his parents. He looked around his bedroom
resting on his elbows, the room was clean and nothing was out of place, except
for a few clothes in the corner of his dresser, but that was for taking
downstairs to wash. "May as well take it already it's not like I'm occupied or
something." Once Stiles left the dirty clothes in the washer, he sat down on
the kitchen table to watch Claudia make the dinner, with the minutes passing he
started to get fidgety, shaking his legs, with a thumb in his mouth biting the
nail. He could see his mother from the corner of his eyes, looking at him
amused, he turned to her raising one eyebrow.
"What?"
"You're nervous." She said.
"I'm not, why would I be?" Stiles said but yeah he was, very much indeed, cause
Derek was coming to his house like a boyfriend goes to a dinner to meet the
parents,"Jesus, I didn't think this through." and Derek would know that he was
full of anxiety, damn werewolves.
She laughed, shook her head and said. "It's okay sweetheart, just breath. Will
be fine, Derek likes you too."
"No, he doesn't, well not like that anyways. But I'm with Malia now, I don't
care. We're friends and I'm helping him." He said, slumping in the chair,
thinking how come his mother kept saying that Derek likes him and doesn't mind
him linking the man, cause yes Derek was actually a man. "What I don't get it
though, you think I'm too old for Malia, but Derek is five years older than me,
and you seem to think it's okay for me to like him." He raised an eyebrow at
his mom.
"Well, your father is not Peter." She said looking at the food she was making,
with a guilty look.
"That's not it, you're hiding something from me." Stiles could see that his
mother was a bit surprised by his reaction and didn't know what to tell him.
"What is it?" He asked her, getting up from his sit.
The doorbell rang making him forget about the conversation he was having, and
his heart started pounding loudly in his chest. "I'm so screwed!" He took deep
breaths to calm himself down and decided to set the table for dinner. The
Sheriff opened the door and let Derek in, none of them came to the kitchen,
which was good and he could relax a bit more before dinner. His dad and Derek
watched some game that was playing on TV after a while was time to eat and
Claudia called them from the kitchen, his dad sat at the head of the table,
with his mom and Derek at each side, and him beside Derek.
Stiles was eating quietly, just listening to them talking, already finishing
his place, he rested one arm on the table watching Derek talking comfortably
with John. Derek's arm brushed into his resting one, making his heart skip a
beat and his cheek blush, he felt the warmth of the man's arm and saw that
Derek blushed too but looked away. He frowned a bit, head resting on his other
hand watching Derek carefully. "Is it possible that mom's right? Does Derek
really likes me?" But the man didn't look at him the rest of dinner.
When they finished eating, while Stiles helped Claudia with the dishes, the
Sheriff and Derek went to his father's office to talk about a case they
apparently had in common. Stiles stayed with his mother for a while, hoping
Derek would give him some attention after talking with his dad, but that didn't
happen, so he went to his room where he played some game for about an hour
until he heard Derek saying goodbye to his parents. Leaving his computer and
walking fast to the stairs before Derek can leave without talking to him, he
stopped on top of the stairs where he could see the man by the door.
"Thank you for the evening. John, Claudia." Derek said to his parents bowing
his head.
"Anytime, you should come again! Bye Derek" Claudia said waving with a warm
smile.
"Let me know if you find anything else about the case. Good night." Said the
Sheriff.
Without moving, Stiles waited expectantly, never taking his eyes away from
Derek, his heart in an erratic rhythm and anxiety growing with the wait. When
finally, Derek looked at him reluctantly -he could see it- and waved at him,
saying goodnight with a blank face, Stiles just watched the man leaving with
wonder. That night he went sleep with butterflies in his stomach and determined
to discover if Derek did indeed liked him, as his mother said.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles was peacefully sleeping bellow his blanket, comfortable in his bed,
having a nice dream when he felt his world shaking inside the dream, like an
earthquake. Opening his eyes a little he saw Scott shaking him, he was so
comfy, so happy in his dream, waking up was not his idea right now and that
pissed him off.
"Dude, what the hell, what time is it? Why are you waking me? Uggh! I was
dreaming, this better be good." He said leaning on his elbows.
"Stiles it's almost eleven!" Scott yelled.
"Okay, so? It's summer vacation! I can sleep till noon If I wanted to! In fact,
I could sleep all day! What is it?" He said annoyed.
"Full moon is coming!" His bestie said a little stressed.
"Scott, you already had dozens of full moons, you'll have to be more specific."
"The past few years you and I spent the full moon together, and I don't even
remember the last time I spent with the pack, but Isaac asked me If I was going
to run with them this Sunday and I said yes!" His friend yelled again, pacing.
"And you're afraid of what? Jumping him or something? Because the whole pack
will be there, probably, It's Derek's first full moon since he came back from
college." He said thoughtfully.
"You know how I get cuddly on the full moon!" His bestie said with puppy
panicked face.
Stiles laughed. "You're like a puppy! Relax dude, they all get cuddly on full
moons, that's why they sleep in the den! It's no big deal, plus I bet you're
dying to snuggle the shit out of him!" He laughed even more, and Scott's eyes
flashed blue with anger.
"I am not! This isn't funny Stiles! I have a girlfriend." His friend said in a
harsh tone.
"I bet if I was a werewolf I would have caught you in a lie right there."
Stiles said still laughing.
"Stiles!"
He scratched his head and said. "If you don't wanna go, then don't go, and if
you do wanna go, talk to him. I think it's time you tell him what you're
feeling, see what he'll say, take it from there."
Scott nodded. "Can we do something today? I need to think about something
else."
Stiles side hugged his friend. "What friends are for, come on."
The two of them played some video game until Scott got restless and Stiles saw
that his friend needed to blow off some steam, so he dragged his bestie to
practiced lacrosse since Scott was first line at the school. In some moment
while they were practicing, Isaac texted Scott but Stiles hid his best friend's
phone, he didn't want Scott nervous. Starting to get hungry, they got back to
his home to eat. The smell of freshly baked food was filling the air when
Stiles opened the door and his stomach grumbled loudly. Claudia had made some
pork ribs with potatoes, it was delicious.
Later that night when the sleepiness caught them, Stiles arranged the floor for
Scott and changed into his sleeping clothes. He was lying there, on his bed,
thinking about Derek again, how he felt when the man got to his house, how his
heart raced, how he wanted to be true that Derek likes him too. When did his
feelings start? According to Scott, it was there a long time, and Stiles didn't
even know for sure till the day before. Scott was on the mattress on the floor,
so Stiles had to lean his head over his bed, to talk with his friend.
"I asked Derek to dinner here yesterday with my mom and dad." He said.
"Like a date?" Scott asked with wide eyes.
"Of course not, I told you, I'm helping him with the pack."
"How was it?"
"I freaked out a bit when I realized It looked like a 'met the parents' kinda
thing, but it went okay."
"You like him, that's why you freaked out." Scott said with a smirk.
"I think you're right, buddy, I do have feelings for Derek." He sighed looking
at his friend.
"I knew that already. Are you gonna do something about it?" Scott asked looking
up at him.
Stiles took a deep breath to steady his heart. "No, I have a girlfriend too,
besides I don't think he likes me anyway." He said, not a lie because he wasn't
going to do anything about it without knowing if Derek likes him too, and
choosing not to tell about him wanting to find out just yet.
"I think Isaac really likes me, but I'm scared, not just because of Allison."
His friend said in a low tone.
"You think? I thought you could tell for sure with your werewolf abilities." He
asked confused.
"It's just... Really difficult, cause when I'm with him I get very, very
distracted, like Allison distracted. You know, when I first met her." Scott
said thoughtfully.
"Oooh! really? Wow, But, it's the same thing or just very similar?" He asked
bewildered.
"Just about the same, maybe a little more intense? I don't know it seems more
intense sometimes. His scent just makes me crazy." His bestie said flustered.
"You're so fucked!" Stiles stopped, thinking about what Scott said, about the
scent and all, he was almost sure he saw something about that in one of his
research about werewolves.
"That's what I tried to tell you!" Scott yelled with his hand on his face.
"Maybe it's a werewolf thing? I think I read something like that years ago when
I was obsessed with werewolf stuff. You remember right? I was thirteen or so."
Stiles said getting up from the bed and walking to his computer.
"Yeah, that was the first time I saw you looking differently at Derek, he was
fighting with Isaac, training I guess. We're not allowed to see, but you
sneaked up there. Your mom was pissed." Scott said laughing.
"Well, he's like insanely hot okay! Can you blame me for wanting to see him
fighting and sweating all over?" Stiles said tipping on his computer and trying
not to think about a sweating Derek, with his shirt all glued up, because he
was getting hard just remembering.
"Here, found it, it says when a werewolf finds his mate they get drawn to it,
first with the smell, then touch, then grows every time they're together till
it settles." He said reading the article on his computer.
"Mate? Like a soulmate thing?" His friend asked sitting up on the mattress.
"Not necessarily, can be just a perfect match or it can be a soulmate thing,
but those are named true mates, in those the pull is more intense, it says none
of the parts can resist it eventually."
"Does it says if I can have two mates?" Scott asked a little sad.
"It doesn't, but doesn't say otherwise either, maybe Talia knows more about
this." He said seeing the sad face of his best friend.
"I can resist it though, right? I mean, I'll not break up with Allison!" His
friend's face was both sad and determined.
"Yes, unless it's a soulmate thing. Sorry, buddy." He walked back to the bed.
"Uggh! I need Allison back I'm gonna call her tomorrow." Scott said with a
pillow on his face.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
In the morning, his mother made some omelets for the four of them and bacon
just for the two teenagers, cause his dad can't eat bacon and she's supportive.
"Tomorrow is the full moon, are you two staying at Melissa's or Talia's? I'd
love if you both came to Talia's though, I think everyone's going." His mom
asked smiling.
They exchanged glances, and his mother spoke again. "You don't have to answer
now, just think about it okay?" Both teens nodded.
The four of them had breakfast, Scott wanted to relax in the living room, his
friend wasn't a morning person, Claudia went to tend to her plants and herbs,
and his dad to work. There was a superhero movie on TV and Stiles was talking
nonstop about superheroes movies. It was one of his favorites subjects, he
always got so excited talking about it, but Scott was silent, which okay,
Stiles likes to talk a lot so, usually he didn't mind, but his friend seemed to
be in another planet, and he couldn't take it anymore.
"Dude, are you even listening to me?" He said poking his friend who startled.
"What?"
"I'm talking to you for half an hour, and you're not even listening! What are
you thinking so much that you're not paying attention to your bestie? I'm a guy
in need of talking."
Scott sniggered. "I was just thinking if I had a way of knowing for sure if
Allison isn't my mate too."
Stiles thought for a minute. "Maybe there is, maybe my mom can do a spell or
something, come on." He said getting up and walking to the backyard, where his
mother was lowered in front of the flowers.
"Hey mom, can you do a spell or something, to help Scott with a thing?"
"Maybe, I'll have to know what the thing is first." She said amused.
"Mm." Stiles looked at Scott seeking approval, his friend nodded. "He thinks he
has two mates, is that possible? Is that a way of knowing?"
"I didn't even know you guys knew about this stuff." She said looking at her
son.
"Please, it's me! I research for a living! You don't know your son at all?" He
said with a smirk.
His mother smiled and shook her head. "Right. Usually, the wolf in you knows,
and I never heard of two mates for one wolf." She got up from her flowers,
scratching her head with a confused face. "I think I can make a potion that
enhancers your instincts, but are you sure? You may be out of control for a
couple of days, and tomorrow is the full moon." Claudia looked at Scott with
concern in her eyes.
"Please, I'm going crazy with this, I need to know for sure." Scott said with
pleading eyes.
"Okay then, I'll prepare the potion, but it's gonna take some time, maybe a few
hours. I'll just finish here first." And she got back to her plants.
"Thanks, mom. Come on Scotty lets go do something." He said grabbing his
friend's shoulders and walking away.
"You think Isaac knows about the mate thing?" Scott asked.
"Probably buddy. He may even know more than us since he's a born werewolf and
his family is almost all werewolf for hundreds of years, there's only so much I
can research. So yeah pretty much sure he knows, especially the way he has been
with you all of the sudden." Stiles said with a pat on his friend shoulders.
"But if he knows, then why didn't he say anything? Didn't him noticed that I
was confused?" His friend frowned deeply and started tipping on his cell.
"What are you doing Scott? Tell me you're not talking about this texting!
Scott!" Stiles yelled at his friend.
"I'm just asking if he knows." Scott answered and stared at the phone for a
couple of minutes before his phone buzzed.
"What did you say? What did he answer? SCOTT?" Stiles yelled frustrated, Scott
tossed the phone to him with an angry face and blue beta eyes. He looked at the
phone, and there were two messages.
Scott:
Did you know that I could be your mate?
Isaac:
Yes, but I can explain, can I see you, please?
Then another text came in a couple more minutes, he read and gave back the
phone to Scott with a sigh.
Isaac:
Please, Scott, I'm sorry! Let me explain.
"That was really stupid buddy, go talk to him." He said squeezing his friend's
shoulder.
"I can't right now I need to know for sure who is my real mate before I can
talk to him." His friend said irritated.
They hang out at his house for a while, helped his mother with the potion, they
had to go buy some things she needed, and some others dinner stuff that she
asked. When they got back, she was finishing the potion. Scott sat at the
kitchen table and Stiles at a stool by the counter closer to his mother.
"Is it ready yet? Those witch stuff are slow, huh! What exactly gonna happen to
him? Because I know this will get back to bite me in the ass. I'm sure of it!"
Stiles said.
"This will just enhance his own abilities, nothing very different will happens,
he will be a bit out of control since tomorrow is the full moon, but by Monday
tops he will get back to normal." His mother said, putting the potion on the
glass to give to Scott, his friend took the glass, sniffed grimacing.
"Arg, that's awful." His friend said, hesitating but drank.
"Remember not to be alone or get mad at all your instincts will be all over
it." Claudia said to Scott, and he nodded.
"Yeah please don't try to kill the human, he's fragile and will bleed to
death!" Stiles said.
"I'm not feeling anything." His friend said shrugging.
"It takes a few minutes." His mother said looking at them both. "Are you
staying for dinner?" Claudia asked Scott who nodded.
"So, how is he going to know? Is there a guide or whatever to just get it over
with." Stiles asked his mother.
"Sweetheart I'm a witch, not a werewolf, but I think he just has to concentrate
on his feelings towards his mate, maybe be around the person, that probably
will be more accurate."
"I don't think he should be near any of them if he's gonna be out of control.
Imagine a horny teenager running around with a mate!" He said with a smirk, his
mom laughed.
"You're probably right! Call them then? You should sleep here where I can take
care of you actually." Claudia said, with her eyebrow raised and a distant
look, like she just realized what she did.
"I'm gonna call Allison on skype from your computer." Scott said and went to
Stiles' bedroom. Scott talked to Allison for an hour or so then ran downstairs
grinning like a maniac, his eyes were glowing beta blue, but even more bright,
his fangs making his smile funny, he was wolfing out but with happiness.
"The potion worked! Allison is my mate, I'm sure of it!" Scott was beaming like
crazy.
"What about Isaac?" In a blink of an eye, Scott's smile died, and the blue of
his eyes sparkled with anger as he growled low.
"Okay, I guess you're still very much pissed off with him, but before you jump
the fragile human, you have to at least call the guy, you said it yourself, the
feeling you have for him is more intense, right?"
"I said sometimes it feels like it, but I wasn't sure, it's very new, besides
Allison is my mate, and your mother said that she never heard of any wolf with
two mates, there's probably some other explanation for what I'm feeling towards
Isaac." His friend said.
"Denial, very nice, not your color though." Stiles said ironically.
"Dinner is ready boys come on!" His mother yelled from the kitchen interrupting
them.
They all ate together, Scott relaxed a bit talking to Stiles' parents, his
mother was able to make Scott stop wolfing out, then they spent some time
watching TV until time for bed.
"Sweetheart, before you go, you two thought about the full moon? Are you
coming?" Claudia asked.
Scott said, "no" and Stiles said "yes" at the same time. They exchange annoyed
glances, and Stiles spoke up first.
"Yes, I'm coming, so if I'm coming, Scott will go too! Goodnight mom." He said
walking to bed, dragging his irritated bestie with him. "Scott, you have to at
least talk with Isaac, so yes you will go tomorrow. I'm tired, goodnight."

Chapter Notes
     Thank for all the kudos, bookmarks and follows! I appreciate very
     much!
Stiles was getting sick of Scott whining about Isaac and how he didn't want to
spend the full moon at Talia's, all Sunday morning. His friend wolfed out a
couple times, but with his mother's help, Scott managed to steady himself
enough to go home before the run with the rest of the wolves. After his bestie
went home, Stiles got his computer to research some more, see if he could find
something about two mates to one wolf. He spent about two hours on this and
found absolutely nothing. "Maybe we should ask Talia if she knows about this."
He thought to himself. The wolves were very secretive about their things, there
was nothing explicit about any of this, apart from what Stiles did find the
other day, which wasn't much either. He sighed, stretching his arms, his back,
and slumped on his desk chair feeling frustrated, his phone rang and he grabbed
from the table. Seeing Scott's name on the screen he snorted, his friend had
texted him a lot after getting home, asking him to spend the full moon at
Melissa's.
"Scott you're going, I'll drag you there myself!" Stiles said into the phone.
"I can't go there like this Stiles! I'm wolfing out all the time, I can't
control myself!" His friend said with a broken, desperate voice. It was
heartbreaking, but he didn't bend because Stiles was doing this for his bestie.
"Its okay buddy I will be there, my mom, your mom, Deaton. Breath!" He said in
a lulling voice to his friend, trying to calm Scott down.
Deaton was like a father to Scott, since his dad didn't care enough to be a
part of Scott's life ever since he became a werewolf, and Deaton had married
Scott's mother when he was nine years old, right after he became a werewolf.
Melissa met Deaton at the hospital where they both work and Deaton was the one
who introduced Talia to Melissa when Scott was ill.
"You're okay buddy?"
"Yeah, thanks. Pick me up before you go." Scott said, seeming more calm(ish)
and ranging up.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
In time for dinner -before the run- they got there, and once again Derek was
the one who opened the door. His heart was jumping, and Stiles was trying to
calm himself but after that dinner at his house -when he discovered that yes,
he liked Derek very much indeed- he just couldn't help but feel the need to be
around Derek, and Stiles didn't know what he'll do about that, hence the heart
jumping non-stop. Jesus, Derek was gorgeous with that welcoming smile, with his
cute bunny teeth showing, Stiles just stared at the man like an idiot.
"Hi." He said without taking his eyes off of Derek.
"Hi, come on in, everybody is waiting at the table for you both." Derek said,
still smiling.
Scott had to grab Stiles' arm to take him out of his trance, "Thank God
everybody is already at the table." He thought, cursing himself for the
ridiculous display he had at the door.
It's not that Stiles minded Derek knowing he likes him, but really, staring?
Without even saying anything? "Pathetic." He muttered in his head, walking to
his seat. Malia was waiting for him, she patted the chair beside her and he sat
there, feeling bad cause Malia was very touchy due to the moon and he just
wasn't into it right now. Usually, they chat a lot, making the dinner last
longer, but since the wolves were craving to run everybody ate faster. The
wolves started to get out of the house to run, but Scott was hesitating at the
kitchen, looking like a kicked puppy. Stiles squeezed his bestie shoulder as to
reassure him it was going to be okay giving Scott a thumbs up and a wink,
shooing him.
The rest did the dishes and went to the den in the basement to wait for the
werewolves. The room was huge, the size of the whole first floor of the house,
there had an enormous TV on the wall with a big couch in front of it, a DVD,
PlayStation,-like all of them- Wii and Wii u, the original Xbox, looks like
they were fond of the classics. "Awesome!" There were several blankets, duvets
and pillows scattered all over the floor, and a few sitting puffs. The den
looked very cozy, Stiles didn't remember that, but then again he didn't come
here for years. They would hang out there till the wolves got back, some
watching TV, some talking to each other, some reading. Stiles was so bored
nobody wanted to use the games with him he had taken a book from the library to
pass the time. Laying on one of the puffs, he tried to distract himself as the
hours passed, but the wolves hadn't gotten back yet and it was getting very
late. His pack members were adjusting themselves at the floor with the blankets
and stuff to sleep, and since he was sleepy too, he joined them. Laying down a
little closer to his mother, he slept quickly.
In the middle of the night, he felt Malia snuggling up with him, so he laid
down on his side as she was positioning herself between his arms with her head
on his neck facing him. He lifted his head a bit to look at the rest of the
wolves -Derek and Scott actually- and saw that the spaces left between them
before the wolves got back, were all filled and now it looked like a big bed
full of cuddling people. His bestie was cuddling with Isaac far from him and
Derek was in the middle of all of them with his mother "I guess it's an alpha
thing." He thought, lowering back his head and closing his eyes. It was very
comfortable, in no time Stiles slept again with Malia in his arms.
########################
Derek was running feeling the cold wind on his face, the soft earth on his bare
feet, it was very soothing, he could feel and hear his pack mates running
happily with him. They were all beta shifted and bare feet. He took a deep
breath, inhaling the cold thick air of the night and letting his wolf instincts
wash over him with the full moon, his mind went immediately to Stiles. Derek
could smell perfectly the boy's scent like he was standing right there with
Stiles, he could hear the beating heart and feel the boy's emotions, it was
something he never experienced in his entire life, and Derek wanted never to
end. Concentrating deeply, he felt that Stiles was anxious with anticipation
and bored at the same time, Derek felt the caring of the boy towards him and
beamed with the feeling. It was in that moment that he realized, yes he wanted
Stiles as his mate, there were no "I don't know" or "I can't" anymore, Derek
would wait forever if he had to and will be close to Stiles as much as he
could from now on.
The run was excellent, they didn't have a full moon like that in years, since
the fire -his mother was so out of it when his dad died, the pack had distanced
a little with their alpha mourning the loss of her mate-, but today the wolves
were in synchrony, moving as one with Derek, like a pack should be. They ran,
hunted and played a little with each other, even his mother joined them. When
they got tired and ready to get back to sleep in the den, it was almost dawn.
The walk home was leisurely, Derek heard Isaac and Scott talking in a low tone,
so low that he only heard a whisper and couldn't decipher what they were
saying, but he saw that Scott was smiling and they were walking hand in hand.
At the back of the house, they stopped by the balcony to wash their feet before
entering the house. One by one they changed clothes and went to the den. Isaac
and Scott were the last ones get to the balcony, Derek waited for them but in
the kitchen were Malia was, to give them some privacy. While in the kitchen
drinking some water, he looked at the back door and saw the two boys kissing
heavy on the balcony, there were hands everywhere and Isaac was pressing Scott
into the balcony rail. He heard a giggle and remembered that Malia was there
with him, he laughed with her and shook his head.
"Isaac, Scott, come on." Derek said opening the backdoor. Scott blushed so much
that looked like a tomato.
Then the four of them went to the den to sleep, his mom patted the space
between her and Laura, Malia ran past him and started to snuggling up with
Stiles, even knowing that this was going to happen, Derek was pissed, and if he
wasn't so tired and sleepy, he would be wolfing out right now. Instead, he laid
down with his mother and sister in the middle of his pack members and quickly
slept.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Derek felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, slowly waking him from his sleep, he
slowly stretched himself and opened his eyes finding his mother's face looking
back at him fondly.
"Time to wake up honey, we have to work." She said caressing him on the
shoulder then pulled away and left.
Getting up he noticed that most of the pack had woke up already, mostly those
who didn't run. Derek was relieved to see that Stiles was no longer cuddling
with Malia at the den, but Isaac and Scott were still asleep together, he
smiled at that happy for his best friend. He walked to his room half awake,
grabbed some work clothes and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. After
showered and ready to work he headed to the kitchen, he wasn't very hungry
since they ate at the run but Stiles was there eating, and Derek wanted to see
the boy. After deciding he wanted Stiles, Derek could not wait to spend time
with his mate. Everyone that had to work was having breakfast, plus Claudia and
Stiles. He beamed when the boy looked at him and sat down with Stiles, ignoring
his usual spot. Derek saw the boy smile lightening up, and a wave of
contentment rolling off from Stiles, he didn't understand how he could feel the
boy's emotions, but was liking it very much.
"Morning, how was the run?" Stiles asked biting his pancake.
"It was excellent actually. What did you do here?" He asked.
"I was bored out of my mind, no one wanted to do anything that I wanted, so I
just read a book, not that I don't like reading, I really do but do you
remember that you guys have like a bunch of awesome games in the den? Like all
the classics and shit! Why we never stay there on pack dinners? We have to
change that, like ASAP!" The boy said without even breathing, Derek was very
amused.
"Language!" The Sheriff said with a frown. Stiles just nodded and looked back
at Derek.
"Isaac and I didn't have much time for those, these past few years, I guess we
just forgot." He shrugged.
"We should definitely go there next Sunday!" The boy said enthusiastically,
Derek wanted nothing more than making him happy, so he nodded in agreement.
"You slept at all? I mean, we slept very late and you didn't have arrived yet,
and most of the others wolves are still sleeping." Stiles said.
"Not much but it's okay." He wanted to say more, talk more with Stiles, but
Peter was looking at him suspiciously. So instead he said. "I have to go, are
you ready mom?" And left, he wanted Stiles but not at his baby cousin expense,
he had to find a way to tell her somehow, make her understand.
########################
Stiles watched Derek leave, thinking "It will be more difficult than I
expected, but I will find out If you like me! And make you fall for me." He
grinned and noticed his mother looking at him.
"What?" He said with his mouth full of pancake.
"I'm just watching my son." She said but had a wicked smile on her face.
The Sheriff left for work too, so he and his mother went home. After a few
hours at home, Malia texted him saying that she loved sleeping with him and
that she wanted to see him more. Stiles was lying in bed watching a movie on
his laptop while texting his girlfriend back and forth for half an hour or so
when Scott jumped into his room from the window, yelling.
"You saw what you made me do?!" His friend was pacing angrily.
"Dude it's just cuddling, what's the big deal, you do that with me once a month
for years!" He said laughing a little. But Scott stopped pacing and looked at
him where he was in his bed, with angry blue eyes flashing at him.
"Stiles! I was out of my mind with that potion! I kissed him! That's your
fault! If I lose Allison because of this!" His friend said screaming and
growling.
Stiles jumped out of the bed and gaped at his friend. "Wait, what? You kissed
him? Like in the mouth? With tongue and everything? Oh my God! Okay, well I
didn't see that coming." He said bewildered with his hands on his hips. "I mean
wow, he's your mate too though right? Maybe soulmate, since what you feel is
more intense towards him and all." He waited for an answer, but Scott just
stared at him with anger, but his eyes were no longer blue, after a few seconds
Scott sighed deeply.
"Yes, he is my mate too." His friend said reluctantly and through clenched
teeth.
"What that means? Two mates! That's, I don't even know. Are sure Allison is
your mate? Will you have to choose? Did you tell Isaac? Wait, what did you tell
Isaac? Did you even tell him something?" Stiles was babbling like crazy, he had
so many questions and didn't know what to ask first, or which one he wanted to
know first!
"I don't know!" Scott said throwing his arms up.
He took a deep breath and thought about what he wanted to know first, then
asked. "What did you tell him? What did he say?"
"He explained to me why he didn't say anything. He was afraid of scaring, and
because of Allison." Scott stopped and sat on Stiles' bed, before continuing.
"He said that mates are for life and he would share me with Allison if she's
really my mate too. And he wants to get to know her." Scott said slumping in
bed, covering his face with his hands and grunting.
"That's a lot. Share huh, that's kinky on so many levels! Maybe Allison wants
to share too, you know, one girl two guys." He said with a wink, Scott's face
was distant and puzzled. He stopped, leaning his head back a little, frowning
at his friend. "Scott, are you thinking about them and you? You know, together,
right now?" His friend blushed. "Oh my God, you are!" He scratched his
forehead.
"You think that's possible? Not the sex thing but, the sharing part. Have one
boyfriend and one girlfriend." His friend asked with hope in his eyes.
"I guess. Apparently, Isaac is on board. I don't think Allison will though, but
hey who knows right?! So that's what you want then? Both of them." Stiles asked
surprised.
"I don't know! All I know is that I have two mates and my wolf wants both of
them." His friend said, serious.
"We need to know more about this mate thing." He said biting his thumbnail.
########################
Derek was so tired when he got home, he barely slept the previous night and
work was hard again. He just wanted to eat, take a shower and sleep till the
next day. After the shower, when he was stepping down the stairs to eat
something, his mother called him from her office. "This is starting to become a
thing." Derek thought, sighing.
"Close the door." She said and waved to the chair in front of her.
"Something's wrong?" He frowned at her but sat down.
"Not exactly, just some alpha things. There's a pack in our territory, and they
didn't follow protocol. We're gonna have to get to them and see what they're
doing here, you will do the talking. I need you to get Isaac, Erica, Cora and
Peter. I don't know how many are they but it's at least four."
"Okay, I'm sorry I didn't sleep well, I know I should have known this, I did
smell something in town, but I just... I'm sorry." Derek said lowering his
head.
"I know you don't wanna hear this Derek, but that's why you need a mate, you
would have slept better last night, and this wouldn't have passed you. The
scent was really strong honey. An unmated alpha is susceptible to threats.
Luckily this alpha is unmated too, and if he is really a threat, it will be an
easy one." Talia said, her son nodded.
Getting out of the office he grabbed his phone and called the girls since they
weren't home. Stepping into the living room, Isaac came to talk with him.
"Can we talk?" His friend asked smiling, but his scent told Derek that Isaac
was scared and confused.
"We really can't right now Isaac. I need you, Peter, Erica and Cora. There's a
pack in our territory, unannounced, we don't know how many yet, and we're going
as soon as the girls get here." He said walking away towards his uncle's house.
Isaac followed him.
"What happened, are they threatening us?" His cousin asked.
"We don't know yet it may be nothing."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The other pack was staying at a hotel downtown. Derek was so damn nervous. Yes,
he did train a lot with his mother, all kinds of things an alpha have to do and
say, how they had to act, even went to all meetings with his mother since he
was fifteen, but to do the talking all by himself, with a potential threat.
Yeah, Derek was very nervous. Fortunately, one of the things Derek was really
good at was cloaking his scent, especially when concentrating. He knocked on
the door of the hotel room, with Isaac beside him, Peter and his mother just
behind them, Cora and Erica beside his mother. A man opened the door, the
man was very tall even for Derek, well built and totally bald, but looked too
young to be naturally bald.
"Hi, my name is Friedrich Bengel, You must be the Alpha!" The tall man said,
not really a question, and stretched his hand to Derek. The tall man had an
accent, German maybe, he wasn't sure.
He took Friedrich's hand to shake "Derek Hale. I take it from your welcoming
that you came in peace." and said not really a question either. The bald man
gave him a small nod. "So why break protocol then? An Alpha more…" He trailed
off gesturing with his hand. "uncompromising. Would think that you were trying
to cause some damage to his territory." Derek said in a menacing kinda way, but
calm.
"I will have to apologize for my behavior, from where I came from, the Alpha
sends an invite to the newcomers. I was expecting you, actually. I came to
Beacon Hills because my daughter's biological parents live here." Friedrich
said sincerely, and Derek knew he was telling the truth.
"Well then, I should arrange a dinner for my visitors. How many places do you
need at my table? How long is your pack staying?" He said in a diplomatic tone.
"Indeed, name the time and place. I'll need four places, my wife and two kids.
Didn't bring my whole pack. We should stay a week maybe." The tall man said.
Derek nodded. "This is my second, Isaac Hale. I'll send him later with the
details." He said while Isaac shook the man's hand, then they departed.
When they were out of earshot, his mother hugged him, saying. "Oh Derek, I'm so
proud of you! You accomplished so much since you got back! We should do the
ceremony this weekend." She beamed at him.
Derek was so scared of becoming the Alpha, but he couldn't help but feel happy
with his Alpha's praise, and it's not like she will vanish or something. "I can
do this!" He thought happily.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
They got home and Derek called Deaton to tell him about the meeting since
Deaton was the emissary. Then to Claudia asking her to plan the dinner for the
newcomers, -she was the best cook of the pack- he filled her in as well. Then
finally he was able to eat and go to bed, exhausted from the whole day. Getting
to bed, all Derek wanted was to curl up with his mate, but since he could not,
he texted Stiles instead. It wasn't late so the boy would be up. He thought
about what would he say, and decided to talk about the help Stiles was giving
him with the pack. He had already spent some time with Scott, Deaton and
Melissa, John and Claudia. His family, though, was close enough for now and he
didn't need help with them anyway, just time really, although he should try to
get to Peter, the man didn't participate very much since his wife and unborn
child died. Peter now only spent time with Malia and occasionally with Talia,
but with his uncle, Derek really didn't want Stiles with him, Peter can be,
well... Peter. Then there is Braeden. He was never really friends with her.
Laura was best friend's with Braeden since they were little girls, and the only
time Derek and Braeden really talked was in college, during his first year when
they hook up a little. Well not really talked, but... He should change that,
he's practically her alpha now.
Derek:
I was thinking, what should I do with Braeden? I think we just forgot about
her.
########################
Stiles was by his computer playing an online game when he saw his phone
buzzing. Derek's name appeared on the screen and he felt butterflies in his
stomach, lots of them. He read the text and immediately smiled. Was Derek
really asking for help this time? It felt great, so he quickly thought about
what they could do and answered.
Stiles:
Maybe we could take Braeden and Laura to some bowling? Or mini golf? Or to go
watch a game? They dig sports, right?
Derek:
Yes, it's a good idea. I think I prefer taking them to watch a game, Laura can
be very competitive actually playing.
Stiles:
Yeah, I remember once we were all playing basket at a pack meeting, and Laura
got so pissed at you because you didn't pass the ball to her and you missed the
shot. Lol
He laughed remembering years ago. Yes, Laura was indeed very competitive, maybe
because she was human in a family with a lot of werewolves.
Derek:
She didn't talk to me for the rest of that day.
Stiles:
Really? Lol
Derek:
Really. Mom locked us in the den. It was intense.
Stiles:
Lol Did it worked?
Derek:
Eventually, we stayed there a couple of hours. I should sleep, the day was very
tiring.
Stiles:
Okay. I will arrange the game and tell you. Goodnight.
Stiles was so happy that couldn't stop the silly smile on his face. When did
Derek start making him smile like that? He didn't know nor care. The game
season was in full swing and he quickly started looking for games on his
computer. They would need four tickets since he had said 'we ' and Derek didn't
say Stiles wasn't going so he was so going! He found an NBA's playoff match
this Friday in LA. Lakers vs Celtics, but since it's really late to buy a
ticket, it was very expensive. "It's okay though Derek can pay for it." He was
so excited to go with Derek watch the Lakers play, and the Staples Center is
not that far away from Beacon Hills, so they can go with Derek's Camaro and
maybe be back the same day. That night Stiles slept like a baby.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
In the morning Stiles texted Derek to let him know about the game on Friday and
where to buy the tickets, the answer was just an 'okay', which was a little
disappointing but since Derek was at work he shook it off. Scott came by to
hang out, Allison was coming early from France because she was missing Scott
too much, so his friend was freaking out, and didn't know what to do about
Allison and Isaac. The two talked for a long time and Stiles managed to calm
his friend down, they made plans to go out Saturday. Scott had promised Isaac
he would let Isaac get to know Allison, so both of them were going too, he
would bring Malia as well since they're going clubbing and she was his
girlfriend. They played video games and talked all day, then at night, Scott
went home. Stiles was cleaning his room after Scott left, it had leftovers,
packages of snacks on the floor, plates and empty glasses. First, he gathered
garbage stuff, and when Stiles was picking up the plates and glasses to take
them to the kitchen, his mother appeared at his bedroom door.
"Are you going to the dinner that Derek is throwing tomorrow for that pack?"
His mother asked by the door.
"Isn't everyone going?" He asked confused.
"Not really, it's not a demand, I'm going cause I'll be cooking. I think that
Derek would want you to go since you are friends again." She said with that
wicked smile again. "What's up with that?" He thought even more confused.
"I'll think about it." Stiles said getting his phone and texting Derek. Because
yes he wanted to go and especially, wanted Derek to want him to go. He started
the text chatting about the game, trying not to sound too obvious.
Stiles:
Bought the tickets yet?
But he didn't get an answer right away like usual, so he grabbed the plates and
glasses, and went to the kitchen to eat something while waiting for Derek's
response.

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Derek got home from work late again, but finally settle the case he was on, so
the remainder of the week should be slack. When he got back to his room from
the bathroom, Isaac was sitting on his bed with a confused face, smelling
anxious and a bit wishful. He got a little concerned for his cousin and rushed
to his side.
”What is it? Something’s wrong?” He raised an eyebrow at his cousin.
”I already delivered the invite to the Bengel’s pack. And I told you yesterday,
I need to talk to you.”
”Sorry, I forgot, these couple of days were intense. What you wanna talk
about?” Derek said apologetically.
”Scott only kissed me because he took a potion to know who his mate was.” Isaac
said with a faint sigh.
Derek frowned at that and said totally confused. ”What do you mean?”
”Apparently, Scott has two mates. He wasn’t sure since he didn’t know what was
it, that he was feeling towards me, then Stiles asked Claudia to make a potion
so Scott could know for sure. The potion he drank enhanced his instincts.”
”That does not make any sense! Two mates? I never heard of it!” Derek said
dumbfounded.
”Well, it's a thing, but I’m okay with that, I guess. I just have to share
Scott with Allison, It’s not like he can just choose between her and me,
right?” His friend said, uncertainty flowing from his voice.
”Share? Are you insane Isaac?” He raised his voice in disbelief, and his mother
came to his room.
”It’s everything okay?” Talia said in a concerned tone.
Isaac told his aunt what he said to Derek, and Talia furrowed her eyebrows a
little. Both boys looked at her expectantly, waiting for their Alpha say
something.
”And are you sure he didn’t just say that because he’s scared to lose her?” She
asked.
”I’m sure his instincts were all over the place, he couldn’t even control
himself.” His cousin answered. Talia was still looking at them, unreadable.
”And you’re really okay with that?” She asked Isaac again, Derek snorted.
”I guess, I just really want to get to know her.” Isaac said uncertainly again,
that was pissing Derek off.
”You can’t be okay with that, Isaac, that’s not normal!” He said irritated.
”Derek!” Talia yelled, flashing her red eyes at her son and he bowed his head
apologetic. ”First of all, you shouldn’t tell him that, you know how important
a mate is for any supernatural being. Second, If you had just studied the
archives on mating like I told you to! You would've known that yes, it is
possible.” His mother said, with a harsh tone and eyes still red with anger,
then she sighed closing her eyes.
”I’m sorry Isaac. I just... couldn’t imagine sharing my mate.” Derek didn't
even think before speaking.
”Your mate?” Talia said with wide eyes and an enormous smile. ” Shit!” He
chastised himself.
”Mom, please don’t I’m not ready to talk about this.” Derek lowered his head in
defeat.
”Oh Honey, I’m so happy for you! Okay, but you have to read the archives. I’m
serious, you have to know everything about our history, you’re about to become
the Alpha and I’m not going to be here forever.” She said and turned her gaze
to Isaac again. ”Well, Isaac, there were, two stories, one a thousand years ago
and then another, two hundred years ago.” She said sitting by Isaac’s side on
the bed.
”The first story, only one of the three, had the other two as mates, so the
others didn’t accept, both wanted to be the only mate, so one of the three, the
strongest of them, killed the other two in a jealous rage, living the rest of
his life alone. The second story, the three were mates to each other, so none
felt jealousy, and it worked.“ Talia looked at Isaac smiling and cupped her
hands on his face. ”It seems to me that you might be her mate too since you
feel strongly willingly to share and to know her.” His mother said, and Isaac
lightened and beamed at her.
Talia turned her gaze to her son. ”Is everything ready for dinner tomorrow,
with the Bengel’s pack?”
”Yes, Isaac delivered the invite, and Claudia is coming to prepare the food.”
”Good.” She said, leaving them in Derek’s bedroom.
”So, Saturday we’re going to a club, Scott, Stiles, Allison, Malia and I. Wanna
come?” His cousin asked, still beaming from the revelation.
”Right, because I wanna see Malia all over Stiles at a club! Like isn’t enough
to see them together at our house. No. Besides, my ceremony is on Saturday, and
I do have to read those archives.” Derek said with his arms folded on his
chest.
”Suit yourself. Your phone was buzzing when you were showering, it’s a text.
Goodnight!” Isaac said with a smirk, leaving.
Derek rushed to pick up his phone from the nightstand cause the only person who
texts him is Stiles, in the text the boy was asking if Derek had bought the
tickets for the game. He was missing the boy already, and the text filled his
heart with contentment. Stiles had texted him about an hour ago, so he quickly
responded.
Derek:
Yes.
He wanted to ask about Scott, the potion and most of all Derek wanted to know
what Stiles knew and thought about mates, but he didn't have this relationship
with the boy yet. “It would be weird, right?! Right.” He waited, looking at his
phone hoping that Stiles chose to start talking nonsense right now, Derek liked
to hear the boy babbling, it was cute and the memory made him smile.
Stiles:
So, how many did you bought? Because you know, I should tell my mom if I’m
going, not that you have to take me or anything, but if you want me to go then
I have to tell her.
Derek sat on his bed, feeling like this was right and he should keep getting
closer to Stiles, it seemed that the boy wanted the same, well at least the
'get closer to him' part, since Stiles didn't know they're mates. He read the
text again smiling, of course he wanted Stiles to go, there was no question
there, but the boy didn’t know that, and to know that Stiles wanted to be sure
that Derek wanted him to go, was something he wasn't expecting, but in a good
way.
Derek:
Four.
Stiles:
Cool, I will let her know then.
Derek didn’t know what to do or say and didn’t wanted to stop the texting, but
he wasn’t good at this wooing thing, or any of that ‘get to know’ thing,
actually. Usually, he just hit on people, slept with them and never saw the
person again, but that’s not what he wanted anymore, he wanted to woo Stiles,
get to know everything there is to know about the boy, wanted to make Stiles
fall in love with him. Derek asked himself what the boy was feeling right now,
so he closed his eyes and tried to feel the boy like the day of the full moon,
but nothing happened. ”It’s probably a full moon thing.” He thought
disappointedly, after a couple of minutes Derek decided to send another text,
he grabbed his phone again and started to type.
Derek:
You coming tomorrow with your mother?
Stiles:
Do you want me to? Mom said I’m not required to but you’re practically my
Alpha, so I can go if you want. Speaking of which, when will it happen? The
ceremony I mean.
He frowned, did Stiles thought that he was going to make him do things just
because he’s the Alpha? Did the boy was helping for the same reason? Maybe what
he felt at the full moon wasn’t accurate, maybe the boy didn’t like him after
all, and the happiness he felt coming out of Stiles was just because his future
Alpha was giving him attention. It's well known for members of the pack to feel
some kind of happiness with the Alpha's praise. Derek fell on the bed feeling
so confused, his stomach was in knots and he didn’t know what to think. He
stared at the text feeling sick to his stomach, because that's definitely not
what supposed to happen and Derek would not let Stiles think that, ever.
Derek:
It's okay, you don't need to. Saturday, didn't your mother told you? It's a
required thing. Good night Stiles.
Stiles:
She did, I just forgot. Night Derek.
 
########################
 
Stiles was sitting on his bed looking at his feet with his cell in hand.
”Idiot! Of course he wouldn’t want me there, why would he? It’s a dinner with a
pack of werewolves, he doesn’t need a human teenager there. ” He sighed laying
down on the bed with his arms open, looking at the ceiling. " At least I'm
going to the game Friday." So, choosing not to be bothered by the dinner thing
and focusing on the basketball game, he couldn’t wait for Friday to come. He
put his phone on the nightstand and started to change into his sleeping
clothes, tossing the ones he was wearing on the floor, then his phone buzzed
again with another text. He ran to get his phone, hoping that Derek had changed
his mind and wanted Stiles to go to dinner tomorrow, but when he picked up his
phone, it was Malia.
Malia:
Hey, I miss you! Wanna see you tomorrow.
Although wasn't Derek, the text made him smile. Malia is so cute, and he did
like her really, not like Derek though, but still. Maybe, if spent more time
with her, would help him forget about the man, so he decided they should spend
the next day together. At first, he started to type saying he would go to the
Hale house tomorrow, but no way he would show up there after Derek said he
didn't need to go to the dinner, and staying at her house, with Peter..."Yeah,
no ." He thought, getting into bed, below the blankets.
Stiles:
Me too beautiful. Come here tomorrow?
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles loved helping his mother with her plants and herbs, especially because
she didn't like anyone else messing with her plants. He always felt important
with that and they got to spend time together, which is a plus. It was so hot
that afternoon, the sun felt like it was burning on his pale skin, making it a
little pink and he was sweating. But he didn't mind because he was with his
mother, who is really quiet today. Stiles wondered why but then again so was
he, although he was quiet because couldn't talk about Derek while dating Malia
and since waking up he didn't stop thinking about Derek and the game Friday.
Normally Stiles talked a lot with his mother, and she would laugh at his
stories, he would even tell her about his make outs. With that thought, he
remembered Malia was coming that day and he still hadn't told his mother.
”Hey mom, I forgot to tell you. Malia is coming over today, we’re gonna hang
out here since the Hale house is going to have some guests and all. It's okay
though, right?” He said a little anxious since his mother didn't approve of his
relationship with Malia very much, even though he didn't really know why.
”You’re not going to the dinner?” She asked with her eyebrows furrowed. He
looked at her confused and wondered thoughtfully. ”What does she want with all
of this? I don't get it.”
”No, I have nothing to add at the meeting, I’m just a human, what would I do
there with a bunch of werewolves? Besides, I did ask if Derek want me to go,
and he said no.” Stiles said that last part looking at the ground, feeling
somewhat sad.
Claudia stopped looking at him then focused back at her garden, without a word,
but looked like she wanted to say something, even got a little stiff beside
him, but then the doorbell rang.
”Stiles, I don't want you with her locked in your bedroom, no, in fact, I don't
want you in your bedroom with her at all.” His mother looked back at him with,
an angry face? It looked like she was angry, but he wasn't sure, it was very
confusing. Did his mother really didn't want Malia at her house? Why was his
mom acting like that?
”Go open the door for the girl Stiles.” Claudia said harshly, motioning
backward.
While walking through the house, he felt that guilty feeling again making him
shrink slightly and hesitating at the door, but when he opened the door Malia
launched herself at him, hugging tightly. He grinned, her hug warmed him and
Stiles almost stopped feeling that guilt inside of him and got a little
content. She buries her face in the crock of his neck, inhaling deeply and
saying.
”Ugh, two days without you is too much, I don't ever want this to happen
again!”
”Then it won't!” He said smiling fondly.
He grabbed her hand and led her to the couch, sitting down in the middle of it,
she sat beside him with her legs on his lap just like she usually did on
Talia’s.
”What you wanna do?” He asked her.
”I’m doing it already, but you can put a movie that you like.” She said resting
her head on his shoulder, he turned on the TV, kissing her forehead, and
started looking for something to watch. It felt good even though it didn't feel
right.
”Hello, Malia. How’re you sweety?” His mother entered the living room, stopping
by the couch looking down at them.
”Hi Ms. Stilinski, I’m good, you?” Malia said happily but his mother was still
with that unreadable expression, it looked like she was mad but at the same
time not, very confusing.
”Been better sweety, are you hungry? I made mac’n’cheese.” Claudia was trying
to smile, unsuccessfully, then her face changed into something... Guiltily?
”Thanks, but I ate before coming here.” Malia said and seemed that she didn't
notice his mom behavior or didn't care. Claudia nodded and went upstairs. Malia
watched her boyfriend's mother going away until she wasn't at her sight.
"What happened? She seems kind of angry and sad. It was... unsettling.” His
girlfriend said looking at the stairs and then back at him.
”I don't know for sure, but I think it's my fault, although I didn't really do
anything. It's not you either, don't worry.” It wasn't a lie because Stiles
really didn't know, just that it was something with Derek and him. Wait, then
occurred to him. ”Does mom want me to date Derek? What is that? Doesn't make
any sense, why would she want that so much?”
”I know it's not me, I can tell. It's kind of... with herself I think because
she smells really guilty of something.” She said, snuggling back into him.
The couple stayed like that for a while. Claudia went to the Hale house,
leaving them alone in the house. When the movie Stiles picked was at the end,
he started to get nervous, because Stiles was alone, in his house with his
girlfriend who was kissing his neck and making him fairly horny, cause really,
he was a teenager and his girlfriend was a hottie. Malia nipped his neck a
little then moved to kiss him on the mouth, it was a fierce kiss, he gripped
her hip and she straddled him, he let out a small moan into her mouth and she
smiled into the kiss. Stiles was hard in his pants and she probably felt it,
because she was rubbing into him.
He shifted them so he would be lying on top of her between her legs. Never
leaving her mouth, she wrapped her legs on his back so he would fit between her
legs better, his left hand traveled her side, her thigh until found her ass
then he squeezed it and she gasped a little. Stiles left her mouth and started
to kiss her neck and suck it till he let a bruise that faded quickly, Malia was
digging her nails into the flesh of his back, leaving scratches that would last
on him but not drawing blood. Stiles was so hard he couldn't think straight, he
took off her shirt to kiss more of her skin and she let him, he kissed his way
down her belly and moved his hand to her chest. Getting to her breast under her
bra, he caressed her nipple until it got rigid and she moaned. Malia told him
to take his shirt off and he obliged, taking his shirt and leaning to kiss her
mouth again, he felt her hand sliding his chest and down, getting to his fly,
she opened it and gripped his dick over his briefs making him groan.
Then his phone rang loudly, startling them and making Stiles think clearly. His
heart started pounding, his stomach was turning and he felt like running away.
”Are you gonna get that or what?” Malia asked.
”Sorry, yeah.” He got up and picked his phone to answer.
”Hey mom, what's up?” Stiles answered the phone, feeling guilty like hell
because the first thing he thought when the phone rang was Derek. What was he
doing with Malia? Was this wrong? Being with her, wanting Derek, even though
nothing will happen between him and the man? "I should at least slow things
down with her before I do something I will regret, or worst she regrets."
”No mom, Jesus… I’m not… Fine, bye.” He said into the phone. ”Sorry about
that.” He apologised to Malia, knowing she had listened what his mother said,
but she ignored.
”Why are you feeling guilty?” His girlfriend asked and she looked afraid.
”I just… we were about to... and I… think I’m not ready.” Stiles was with his
head down, feeling like throwing up. ”Why is this happening to me? Fuck!” He
was so confused, he wanted to lose his virginity for a long time and yet when
he had an opportunity he blew it.
She put her shirt back on and sat straight. ”Ooh, okay, are you a virgin too?”
Malia asked surprised.
Sitting beside her again and looking into her eyes with one hand on her thigh,
he said. ”Yes I am, and if we’re doing it, I want to do it right, sorry I
almost ruined it for us.” He said and she beamed at him wrapping her arms
around his neck.
”I love you.” She said by his ear.
He froze, gulping with wide eyes. What was he going to say? He liked her, but
love? His heart was all over the place and he knew she was going to smell his
panic, and would be piss or sad and, damn it, he didn't want any of that, but
instead, she said.
”It's okay, I know you don't love me back yet, you don't have to say it before
you’re ready.” She pulled back a little and was smiling fondly at him like
everything was right in the world.
He loosened up and gave her a chaste kiss, cupping her cheek. ”God, what I did
to deserve you? Something really right, that's for sure.” She giggled and he
kissed her again, slow and long, then pulled her into his chest and they laid
on the couch to cuddling watching another movie.
 
########################
 
Derek was sitting in the armchair in his living room, entertaining his guests
whilst Claudia made dinner. Friedrich was actually a nice man, he had adopted
his daughter, Raina, when she was a baby after he found her at his front door,
and now with fifteen she wanted to know who her biological parents were because
she was the only human in her family and they didn't want to risk turning her
just yet, without her knowing what was like to be a normal human. The girl was
very excited to know who her parents were but not for the reason that normally
drives teenagers to want that, she really wanted to be a werewolf and her dad,
Friedrich wouldn't bite otherwise. Derek then suggested that she spent some
time with his pack since it had a lot of humans and her biological parents
haven't responded yet. Friedrich thought that was a very good idea and decided
to extend their stay in Beacon Hills a little.
After a while, Claudia appeared at the living room door, saying the dinner was
ready. At the dinner with Derek and the Bengel's pack was only Talia, Isaac,
Deaton and Claudia. They talked more about Friedrich’s kids and a bit about the
difference in their culture, such as where Friedrich lives they always trained
their future Alpha since the age of ten, which Derek thought was too early but
didn't say anything since everybody was getting along just fine and there was
no Alpha rivalry. Then halfway into the dinner, Derek started to feel uneasy,
his insides were bubbling and he was getting angry at nothing. Stiles' face
came into his head and he couldn't think very well.
”Are you okay son?” His mother asked with a confused face, obviously, because
everything was fine and he didn't have any motive to feel this way.
”I don't know. Something is wrong but I don't know what it is.” Derek had a
hand on his stomach clutching it, unsettling at his seat. Claudia looked at him
nervously like she knew what was going on.
”Excuse me.” She said rushing out of the table and picking up her phone.
Claudia's behavior was strange, and Derek decided to hear her conversation so
he focused on her voice. She wasn't far, so he could hear clearly and as the
phone rang he began to calm himself down almost immediately. "What's happening
to me?" He thought confused and feeling calm now after Stiles picked up the
phone, then he heard them talking.
Claudia: ”Stiles, are you in the bedroom with Malia?”
Stiles: ”No mom, Jesus”
Claudia: ”Do notlie to me!”
Stiles: ”I’m not.”
Claudia: ”Think before you do something, I beg of you.”
Stiles: ”Fine, bye.”
Derek was stunned. After what he felt and hearing that phone call, it was
obvious that Claudia knew about them, and she even knew more than him,
apparently, because he didn't know that what he was feeling was because of
Stiles, and judging by the way she left in a hurry to call her son, she knew
what was happening. ”I have to read those archives soon!” Quickly she was back
at the table.
”I’m sorry about that.” Claudia said to all of them.
The hours passed and the Bengel’s pack was saying their goodbyes, Derek told
Raina that he was going to call and let her know when she could go to his house
again. They waved goodbye at the Bengel's pack and closed the door.
With the door closed, Talia grabbed both her son and her best friend’s arms,
glaring at them. ”Okay both of you, let's talk about what happened at the
table, I’m not stupid nor am I deaf.”
The three went to the office, Derek closed the door and sat in the armchair
with his head hanging low. Talia was already sitting in her desk chair and
Claudia in front of her.
”I take it for what I saw and heard, that this is about Derek and Stiles?”
Talia asked looking at her friend with a frown. None of them said anything, she
shifted her glance from Derek to Claudia back and forth analyzing them, then
got up to her feet with her hands flat on the table and stared at her friend
flashing her red eyes at her with anger. ”You lied to me, Claudia!”
”And how would I do that?” Claudia said irritated.
”Oh don't give me that crap! We both know how powerful you are!” His mother was
yelling.
”Did I ever used my powers on you, Talia?” Her friend said also yelling. ”I did
not lie to you! I didn't know at the time! And when I got another vision, Derek
was out to college and wasn't talking to my son anymore! And I didn't want you
pushing them together without them being ready!”
Talia looked outraged but sighed sitting back in her chair scratching her
forehead. ”Well, I guess we’re both wrong then because you didn't say anything
and now Stiles is dating Malia.” She sighed deeply. ”God, Claudia, she’s
Peter’s daughter.”
”I know, I know.” Claudia said with her hands on her face. ”But they’re True
mates, Talia, and before you say something, I just found out at the dinner when
Derek wasn't feeling well.”
Derek raised his head at that. ”What that means?” He finally said something.
”It means that you’re not just a perfect match, you are soulmates as well.” His
mother answered looking at him radiating. ”You have to tell him, Derek.”
”No! No way. I’m doing this my way, mother! And believe me, I have no intention
of letting him go.” Derek said and even he was surprised by what he said.
”Does Malia have a mate?” Talia asked her friend.
”I don't know, I might be able to force a vision, but I will need something of
hers, and I have to go home to do it, so if you can grab me something, I can
maybe tell you tomorrow.” Claudia said getting up to her feet, and Talia
followed her.
He sat there in his mother office, thinking about what just happened. If Stiles
was his soulmate, maybe Derek was right before and the boy did like him, and if
he didn't, Derek might be able to win Stiles over. He didn’t even notice that
he was still there for over half an hour until his mother got back to the
office and started to speak with him.
”Honey? Are you okay? Can we talk?” He looked up at her and nodded. ”I know
that’s a lot and you don’t fully understand what it means to have a true mate,
but it’s because you didn’t read the archives, maybe if you have, you would
have known even before Claudia. Please, honey, I cannot tell you everything, it
has too many specifics, you have to read all of it.” She was looking at him
with pleading eyes.
”I will, I was going already, mom. Saturday when I have all day.” He said, and
she hugged him kissing his forehead, then she left.
Derek watched his mother leave without knowing what to do because he needed to
see Stiles so bad, needed to smell the boy's scent, feel the skin of his mate
under his hands, and this was making him restless. Now more than ever Derek
wanted Friday to come so he could be close to Stiles, but tomorrow was Thursday
yet, and Derek wasn't sure if he could wait until there. "Maybe I could go to
his house now. " He thought, just a little close, just to smell him a little,
Derek didn't see the boy for days, and he had yet another day to come. ” Yes, I
can go there, just a little bit.”
Decided, he got up from the armchair, rushed to his car and in a few seconds,
was inside the Camaro. Derek was driving so fast that the trees were passing
through like a blur, in no time he was arriving by Stiles’ house, parking a
couple of blocks away and surreptitiously walked till he got to the boy’s
window. Malia had already been gone, thankfully, but Stiles wasn’t in his
bedroom, so Derek closed his eyes concentrating, to find the boy whereabouts in
the house. He was surprised when he felt the boy's emotions inside him again.
Stiles was feeling rather confused, his heart was erratic and he was fidgety,
Derek could feel the confusion directed partly at himself and partly at Malia.
Derek didn’t like that Malia had that effect on Stiles, and that made him feel
jealous and snarl. Derek inhaled deeply, the boy’s scent filled his lungs, it
was intoxicating, and he could keep savoring it all day. There was nothing that
he could compare to Stiles’ scent, it was unique.
Derek stood by the boy’s windows for a few more minutes, with his eyes closed
leaning against the wall, just listening to Stiles heartbeat and smelling the
scent, which was emanating from the bedroom soothing him. He heard Stiles
footsteps against the stairs and opened his eyes, alerted. Stiles entered the
bedroom and Derek hid himself a little more but didn't go away.
It was getting late and Stiles was getting ready for bed, he could hear the boy
pulling out his clothes to change into sleeping ones and Derek started
imagining the boy doing it and getting naked in front of him. He couldn't help
himself and took a peek inside the bedroom carefully. The boy was in only his
underwear, in front of the dresser with a drawer open, looking into it. Derek’s
eyes traveled his boy’s body, from the neck, down Stiles’ back till found his
ass, perfectly round. He licked his lips as his eyes flashed blue with want and
his dick was hardening in his pants, then he saw scratch marks on Stiles pale
and smooth skin, a little above his ass. Knowing it had been Malia who left
those marks there, he growled a little too loud, making Stiles look at the
window. He had to hide fast, his heart raced in panic, and he cursed himself
because Stiles was approaching the window and he had to climb the roof fast so
the boy wouldn't see him. After a while hidden, he decided that that was a very
bad idea and left.

See the end of the chapter for more notes
On Tuesday, Stiles was going out with Scott, Allison and Malia. Allison was
back from France, and he missed her, not that he will admit it but he did, in
fact, he was even missing Lydia the bossy and scary strawberry blonde who
ignored him for years till Allison started dating his best friend. Scott had
picked up Allison when she landed, and Stiles was going to get Malia so Allison
could get to know her, the four of them were going to meet at the mall to lunch
together.
He climbed into the jeep and drove to Malia’s house. As he waited inside the
Jeep -a little nervously- for his girlfriend, Stiles glanced in the direction
of Derek’s house a few times, with a thumb in his mouth, biting the skin on the
corner. He didn’t even know why he was doing that, cause Derek wasn’t even at
home that hour. Malia tapped the Jeep's window taking him out of his thoughts,
he said 'hi' to her and kissed her as she sat by his side in the Jeep and they
parted to the mall.
At the mall, they decided to eat Japanese food. Malia and Allison liked each
other instantly and were talking about things in common at the table. In the
meantime Stiles was looking at Scott and Allison, seeing the couple all over
each other like they had just fallen in love yesterday. Their chairs were glued
up together, hands intertwined on Allison’s lap and Scott was looking at
Allison with those big puppy eyes and dreamy smile. Stiles didn't think that it
was possible for Scott to be even more in love with Allison but apparently
after Scott discovered she was his mate, he was head over heels for her. It was
nauseating, and of course , Allison was as much thrilled to be Scott's mate as
his best friend was. ” How is that even possible?” But Stiles wasn't jealousy
no, why would he be? He had a beautiful, nice and intelligent girlfriend who
loved him and yeah, he didn't love her back, but it's okay though, right? He
will love her someday, right? So why was he looking at Scott and Allison
thinking about Derek? It wasn't like he loved Derek, no, but the idea of Derek
loving him, yeah Stiles liked that idea very much, thank you. Stiles was
daydreaming about Derek, the game on the next day and how much he wanted to
kiss the man, how good was going to be when he finally kissed Derek and then.
”Stiles!” Scott yelled.
”What? What happened?” He answered startled, trying to remember what the hell
he was supposed to be doing and with whom because Stiles was so far gone in the
daydream that he didn't even remember.
”We're talking about going bowling, what do you think?” His friend asked, and
he noticed all three eyes looking at him.
”Yeah sure, why not, let's watch Stiles try and fail miserably playing bowling,
he doesn't mind. At least this time Jackson won't be there to insult me all the
time and I bet my werewolf girlfriend can beat the shit out of you.” Yeah,
Stiles was talking nonsense trying to make them forget about his daydream.
Fortunately, Malia giggled, and he kissed her.
Stiles kept letting the ball into the gutter all the time and even fell on his
ass, trying to throw a ball that was too heavy. But despite all of his
failings, bowling was actually nice this time. If Stiles wasn't so bad at
bowling, Malia would have kicked their ass. Malia even tried to teach him, but
Stiles just didn’t have the coordination for bowling. Apparently, Peter took
her to bowling all the time. Stiles also discovered that Peter was actually an
amazing father apart from locking his daughter in the house and not letting her
go to school or make friends outside the pack. Malia loved her dad very much
Peter was like a friend to her, kind of the relationship Stiles had with his
mother. That made him see Peter in a whole different way, even wanted to know
Peter better, the guy had lost his wife, unborn child, and a sister -Isaac and
Erica's mother-, that must change a person.
”Don't you wanna go to school?” Allison asked, trying to sound nonchalant.
”I don't mind, my dad is very lonely, we spend a lot of time together,” Malia
answered shrugging.
”That's nice of you! I can't imagine spending that much time with mydad
though.” Allison laughed.
”We should go to the firing range sometime.“ Malia said to Allison excited.
The two girls attended some class that Beacon Hills have, to become a SID
agent. It takes 2-3 years before you have to take the specialized class in
college if you wanna be an agent, but you just need this class if you want to
be a low-rank operative.
”We should, definitely!” Allison responded also excited then her smile died,
and she lowered her head. ”I don't think your dad will let you go with me
though. My aunt...hm… is Kate… Kate Argent.”
Peter had almost killed Kate when he found out she was the one who set his
family on fire, but Talia used her Alpha powers on him, letting the police take
Kate into custody till the trial. But everybody knew that Peter, didn't want to
let Kate alive and it was difficult to restrain him until they finally locked
her up.
”So? It's not your fault that your aunt was unhinged! ...Sorry.” Malia said. ”I
can talk with aunt Talia.”
The girls made plans to go to the firing range the next week, and he was very
happy for his girlfriend, Allison is great, and Malia really needed some
friends outside their pack. Maybe she could even befriend Lydia, who knew.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Later that night, Stiles was on his computer, just passing some time cause he
had nothing to do really. The day had been great in so many ways, and later on,
Stiles even managed to stop thinking and imagining Derek while he was with
Malia. Stiles was looking into some stuff on youtube when he heard a noise on
his window, knowing it was Scott, he moved his chair around to look at his
friend direction. Scott appeared at his window and climbed in.
”Hey Scotty, what's up?”
”Dude, you were so quiet today, with the girls, something happened?”
Stiles was just waiting to be alone with Scott to talk about all of this, so he
quickly responded. ”I’m just anxious. Yesterday Malia told me she loves me.” He
said. ”Right after we almost had sex. Mom cockblocked me, but it's for the best
I guess.”
”You almost had sex, and you think it’s for the best? What?” His friend asked
bewildered.
”Yeah, I think so. I don't know Scott I’m going crazy or something! I can't
stop thinking about Derek!” He said feeling like a crazy person.
”Maybe you're gay!”
Stiles looked at Scott with a halt, frowning. ”Did you missed the part that I
almost had sex with a girl? And to do that I had to, I don't know, get hard?!”
He said annoyed, not that he would mind being gay, but he was obviously not.
”Oh, right, yeah.” Scott said with a dumb face. ”What did you say when she told
you she loves you?”
”Nothing, I panicked, and she said it was okay that I didn't love her yet.”
”That’s nice of her.” Scott said with a smirk then Stiles threw a pencil at
him.
”What about you and Isaac?”
“Isaac said that he got some answers from Talia but wants to tell me in
person.” His bestie said thoughtfully.
Stiles watched as Scott was clutching his own hands while talking about Isaac
and it seemed like his friend was reluctant about the answers he’ll get, but
Stiles was very curious to know what Talia had told Isaac and what all that
mate thing meant, especially what having two mates meant. They did know Isaac
wanted to share but will Allison accept that? Stiles couldn't imagine she will
he definitelywouldn't.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
After Scott left, his traitorous mind went back to Derek and Stiles got anxious
with anticipation all night, tossing and turning on his bed unable to sleep,
thinking about their night out Friday. He woke up really tired and sleepy, and
all morning he was jittery, cause it was the day he would go out with Derek.
"Okay, not just Derek but a guy can dream." And if Stiles had slept enough, he
might even have dreamed. Stiles was determined to read the man like a hawk he
won't let pass anything by him. Things with Malia were getting really serious,
and if Stiles was sure he had a chance with Derek, remotely even, he would have
to break up with Malia, because although Stiles liked the girl, he liked Derek
better and it wasn't fair to Malia, but if the man didn't like him at all then
he would move on once and for all, he hoped.
The morning and afternoon were awful, his stomach kept lurching, heart in an
erratic rhythm, and he was fidgeting like crazy. Stiles kept trying to distract
himself with games and random researches on the internet, but in the middle of
it, he would find himself spacing out and the hours were passing so damn slow
to him. Derek would pick him up at 5 PM-ish and still had two hours left, but
Stiles decided to get ready.
He took a long hot shower to relax a bit, then got back to his room and stopped
at his dresser, rummaging at his drawers. He stayed there several minutes and
didn't know what to wear, so he decided to look on the internet what people
wear to that kind of things since he never gone to one of those games and
didn't want to get overdressed. He saw a few youtube videos of some games and
kept looking into the crowd to see what people were wearing, not that Stiles
hadn't seen games on television and sorts, but obviously never looking into the
crowd. ”Normal clothes then, okay. ” Getting back to his drawers, not very
satisfied with his research, Stiles looked more into his clothes, he really
wanted to look good, cause although Stiles knows he's good looking and all
that, he's a seven, eight maybe and ooh Derek, Derek's definitely a ten! With
all those muscles and beautiful pale green eyes, and those legs and ass always
in tight pants, showing everything, and... Here we go spacing out again. "
Focus Stiles! Jesus." He then decided to put on a purple V-neck and a yellow
hoodie -to match the Lakers- and dark jeans. The shirt fitted him perfectly on
his shoulders and arms, wasn't too baggy like usually, he stood in front of the
mirror feeling pretty good about it.
When he finished getting ready, still had over half an hour till Derek arrived,
it was still summer and he didn't actually dressed up the hoodie but dragged
with him. Stiles climbed down the stairs and sat in the living room beside his
mother, she was doing some bills and stuff but smiled at him.
”You look beautiful, sweetie. Did you already got a personal object for
tomorrow?”
”Thanks, I’m matching the Lakers.” He said grinning. ”Hm, Not yet, I don't know
what it should be, help me?”
”Sure, come on! When you get here, I’ll be sleeping already.” She got up, and
they went to his room.
They rummaged around his bedroom, into the nightstands, desk, bookshelf, but he
didn't find anything he could bring to the ceremony. Then His mother picked up
a ring that Stiles kept in a little box on his nightstand. Stiles had already
looked there but didn’t think about it. He liked that ring, his mom gave to him
when he was little, and he kept even after the ring could no longer fit his
finger.
”What you think about this? It doesn't fit you anymore, right? I gave you this
when you were eight. I know you like it but, it has to be something very
personal.” Claudia said.
”Hmm, it's forDerek right, well not for him but, for his ceremony.” Stiles
thought about it for a minute. He had good memories of the ring and smiled with
himself, remembering years ago when he first got the ring. It was Christmas and
back then, Derek always indulged him anytime Stiles wanted his attention, even
though the man was a teenager and he was a little kid. So when Stiles opened
his present he ran to show Derek the ring, and the then-teenager sat on the
floor with him, held the then-little boy in his arms and helped him put on the
ring, telling Stiles it was beautiful. After that Stiles only took the ring off
because didn't fit him anymore, so he kept it. ”Okay, can be that.”
She grabbed the ring and said. ”Remember sweetheart I will wake you up in the
middle of the night, so when you get home just go to sleep, okay?”
”You tell my insomnia that, cause I do not deprive myself of my beauty sleep on
purpose, believe me. I would rather sleep thank you very much.”
The doorbell rang 5 pm sharp, Stiles' heart jumped, and was pounding in his
chest so much it almost hurt, ”This is it, today is the day I'll discover if
Derek really likes me.” feeling excited and terrified at the same time, Stiles
opened the door hoping to God that his heart was not as much loudly as he
thought. He glanced at Derek, who was wearing a tight gray shirt, displaying
his arms muscles and hugging his pecs perfectly, and Stiles was looking at
every piece of it.
Stiles' mother came to the door before he could release too much arousal that
Derek could smell it, hopefully. It was one thing Derek knowing he liked the
man and another thing entirely Derek smelling his arousal, that really should
notbe happening, at all.
”Hi Derek, everything ready for tomorrow?” Said Claudia, touching her son’s
arm, thankfully getting him out of his reverie and making him taking his eyes
off Derek’s muscles. His eyes traveled Derek's body to his face, and he frowned
when saw the man's expression. It looked a little pained and restrained as if
Derek was holding back something his body was even a little stiff.
”Yes, everyone already knows and hopefully are prepared.” Derek said to
Claudia, then turned around to leave, saying. ”Let's go.” Without even looking
at Stiles, who waved at his mother and left behind Derek.
As they walked to Derek's Camaro, his mother called the man back. ”Wait, Derek!
Tell Talia that I manage that vision and the answer is yes, but I didn't get
any specifics.” Derek nodded, and his expression softened.
Stiles wondered what was that about, a vision of what? He climbed into the
passenger seat happy that they would pick up the girls, and he could sit beside
Derek, Laura would be there for sure otherwise. He watched as the man loosened
himself a little, and with that Stiles allowed the curiosity taken the best of
him.
"Hey, what was that about a vision? What vision?" He asked, but Derek tensed
again, clutching at the steering wheel.
"It's an Alpha thing." Derek said nervously. Clearly, the man did not want talk
about it, it seemed something serious, and Stiles didn't want push Derek away,
so he dropped it and changed the subject.
”I’m excited I've never went to a basketball game, actually, I've never went to
any game apart from those at school and sorts. Did you ever go to any?” If
Stiles expected to know Derek’s feelings by the end of that day he had to talk
a lot with the man and pay attention to every detail.
”A few times, with my dad.” Derek said looking sad, eyes never leaving the
road.
He sighed, leaning his head back onto the car seat. ”Sorry.”
”Not your fault.” Derek said, looking at him with a smile from the corner of
his mouth, then to the road again.
”So, what team are you rooting for, today? I like the Lakers better, obviously,
hence the outfit.” He said grinning.
”You’re such a dork.” Derek said amused shaking his head. ”I don’t care
really.”
”Well, then you’re gonna cheer for the Lakers with me!" He paused. "Although,
which one Laura prefer? Do you even know? Maybe you should cheer along with
her, she kind of scares me a little!” He said sniggering.
”Yes, Laura can be scary sometimes, she likes the Celtics.” Derek answered
sending a glance to Stiles, smirking.
The two talked a little bit more about the game and teams, Stiles felt
comfortable, just them talking and the man giving him all the attention he
wanted -at the moment-, it was like they were never apart for those long seven
years. The conversation was easy, although his heart never stopped jumping
every time Derek looked at him or laughed with him. Too soon the Camaro was
stopping at the girl's apartment, the two girls were climbing in, and of course
Laura had to take Stiles out of his place. It was a two-hour drive to the
Staple Center so Stiles didn't get too much fidgety.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Getting at the Staple Center, Stiles didn’t know how Derek did it but the seats
the man bought wasn't the ones Stiles found for them, they were much better.
Derek was leading them to the second row of the middle section, and Stiles was
stunned thinking how on earth Derek manage to buy those seats less than a week
from the playoffs. The four of them sat in the middle of the row Stiles sat
first then Derek beside him, Braeden and Laura.
”How the hell did you get those seats? Because that’s definitely not the ones I
told you I found, this must have cost a fortune, not to mention that it wasn't
even for sale anymore! How did you do it?” He said astonished, looking around
the row and the stadium excited while holding Derek’s arm without even
noticing. Looking back at Derek to seek a response, he saw the man looking at
where his hand was wrapped around Derek’s arm. His heart raced, and Stiles
began pulling his hand off, but the man seized his hand and let them where they
were. The action made his heart pound in his chest so much that his breathing
was heavy and he gulped audibly. God, he was so nervous, there was no way Derek
didn't know how Stiles felt right then and Stiles wasn't sure he was ready for
that yet.
”I…” Derek trailed off, still looking at Stiles’ hand, then lifting up his head
to look at Stiles in the eye. ”Peter has an associate, he got it for me, I just
paid.” The man was blushing, but Stiles didn’t know if it was because of the
sudden PDA they were having or because it was Peter who got the tickets. ”That
definitely is a reason to think he likes me, right?” He thought, looking into
the man’s green eyes, he couldn't look away.
Stiles wanted to kiss Derek so much it almost hurt being this close. He didn’t
know what he should do right then, should he keep talking? Should he take his
hand off? Should he just enjoy that hand, that arm and the eye contact? But
before he could decide, Braeden nudged Derek with her elbow and began talking
to the man, who took off the hand out of Stiles’ hand and looked at her to
listen. Stiles didn’t have any choice but take his hand off and watch the game,
feeling a bit disappointed.
”You know Derek I wanted to come watch the Celtics play for so long! I love it,
thank you!” Braeden said beaming.
”I’m glad you liked it, we should do more things together, both of you!” Derek
said looking at Laura and Braeden.
”You’re going softy little bro.” Laura said leaning to pat her brother on the
shoulder. ”Stiles, are you a Celtics fan too?”
”Didn’t you see my clothes? Hello, purple and yellow? Lakers all the way!
They’re gonna kick some ass today!” He said smugly, the Lakers were on a
winning streak that year.
”The Celtics have won almost every game till now, they have won the last four
in a row, and the odds are they will win today as well!” She said scowling.
”The Lakers haven’t lost one yet this entire season, so I think you should
watch more basketball to know better.” Stiles said, and now Laura looked
reallypissed.
”Well, Stiles there’s a first time for everything, you’ll see, wanna bet?” She
said stretching her hand, and he really should stop pissing her off right now.
”There is but not today Laura, 100 bucks you’re gonna lose and the Lakers will
win. I’m gonna get outta here with your money, easy peasy.” He said instead
because he had no self-preservation whatsoever.
Braeden and Derek were laughing, which made Laura even more pissed, she looked
like she was gonna jump his throat or something. Stiles leaned into Derek’s
personal space and whispered in the man’s ears.
”Thank God she’s not a werewolf, I would be dead right now! Can you imagine
that temper with werewolf abilities?” He chuckled.
Derek shook his head sniggering, then turning his head to face Stiles he said.
”You have no idea.”
Derek’s face was so close that if Stiles breathed a little deeper, they would
touch. And damn it, Stiles’ heart was all over the place again with the
proximity, he felt like a little girl. "Well, ready or not, Derek definitely
knows I like him after today.” He thought with a little sigh, the crowd was
cheering, and the two of them unlinked their eyes to watch the game once more.
The game was very exciting, everybody was screaming the player's names, at the
final quarter, the Lakers were leading by two points only, so the Celtics could
totally win over. Stiles was biting his nail like crazy and shaking his legs up
and down. Then Gordon Hayward scored three points changing the status. Laura
was screaming so hard he thought she was gonna faint. Kyrie Irving made a foul
and Corey Brewer missed one of the shots, tying the game for the Lakers. The
Celtics’ coach asked for a break, Stiles' legs were shaking so much that Derek
grabbed his hand to calm him down, he didn’t look at Derek because he knew that
if he did, would distract him from the game. So instead, Stiles took a deep
breath tightening his hand on Derek’s, and it felt so right to have the man's
hand like that. He didn't want to let go of Derek's warm hands and apparently,
the man didn't want that either because they kept their hands together the rest
of the game.
The break had finished and the game continued, in the last few seconds of the
game, Caldwell-Pope made the winning shot for the Lakers. Stiles was so excited
when everybody -who was rooting for the Lakers- got up to cheer the winning
shot that he hugged Derek who was standing by his side, grinning. He didn’t
care if he was overstepping with that, because he was hugging Derek, and the
man was hugging him back, tightly. Stiles had his arms wrapped around Derek’s
neck, and Derek was gripping his waist and back, Stiles felt so happy.
Then he felt the man inhaling on his neck saying. “You smell so good.” Derek’s
voice was deep and alluring, penetrating Stiles’ ears, going through all of his
body, and the hot breath of Derek’s mouth touched his skin making him shudder
all over. "Oh God. " Stiles Felt his pants getting tighter. He took a deep
breath to calm himself down, pushing himself slowly from Derek because hello,
the man was going to feel his hardening cock and smell the arousal coming from
him and that’s not okay. " For now at least, because yeah, Derek definitely
likes me." And Stiles wanted Derek, badly, so he would have to break up with
Malia and then he could make Derek fall for him.
”Told you!” Stiles said to Laura with a big smug. ”That's the easiest money I
made. We have to do this more often Laura!”
”You think you’re so funny Stilinski.” Laura said.
”I kinda am, actually. Everybody thinks so, that's one of my charms.”
”Okay, that's enough. Get in.” Derek said, seeing his sister getting really
pissed now.
Again she didn't let Stiles go in the front seat with Derek. It's okay though
nothing could ruin his day, he was too happy.
########################
Derek was feeling so tired, but the day had been so good, he got to spend some
time with his pack members, talked for a while with Braeden and noticed they
get along very well, which was very important not only for the ceremony but for
the rest of his Alpha life as well. He then discovered that he wasn't so subtle
as he thought, about Stiles. Laura had asked him what was that hug all about,
Derek just said that Stiles hugged him because of the game and as the Alpha, it
was his duty to make all of them happy. She really didn't buy it but didn't
argue with him, probably because they all had to sleep for the ceremony in a
few hours and although Laura was stronger than most humans -living with so many
werewolves did wonders- she did not have werewolf stamina. Derek, however,
didn’t sleep at all, just couldn’t stop thinking about the boy. Malia will have
to understand it wasn't really their fault Stiles and Derek are soulmates, he
smiled at that, lying on his bed. "It’s okay she will find her mate sometime
soon hopefully. It’s not like Stiles is her mate too. Yes, after the ceremony
I'll talk to her.” He decided.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The pack gathered at 4 AM sharp, around the Nemeton for the Alpha’s ceremony.
The Emissary(Deaton) would perform the ritual allowing Talia to pass on her
powers for her son.
 
** The ritual is very ancient, has to be performed before Dawn, using the
symbolism of the setting Moon and the rising Sun to mark the end of the
previous Alpha’s leadership and the rise of the new Alpha. It was written
thousa nds of years ago and is only used on born betas with potential for
leadership. Those betas -like Derek- are born with a tattoo that shows they are
the chosen one for next in line of his pack, even if not a son of the present
Alpha of said pack. Bitten wolves cannot receive nor steal an Alph a’s powers,
can only become an Alpha for his true leadership instincts, becoming a true
Alpha. When an Alpha dies before he can pass on his powers to his successor,
the power goes automatically to the beta with the tattoo and no one else. **
 
Derek watched as his pack adjusted themselves around the Nemeton, making a
circle. He was standing close to the Nemeton in the middle of the circle,
facing his mother while Deaton was closer to the tree. The three of them were
bare feet so they could feel the Nemeton’s power throughout the ceremony. He
looked around and saw that everybody was so willing to participate and embrace
him as their Alpha, each one carrying their personal belongs in hand waiting
for Deaton’s instructions.
His eyes lingered a few seconds on Stiles, who held his gaze back with a shy
smile. Derek heard Deaton’s voice telling the pack to bury their personal
objects, and looked back at his emissary. Derek was contemplating the tree
behind Deaton, the tree was unbelievable tall and large, with big green leaves,
it was beautiful. Derek felt the power emanating from the tree touching his
bare feet the minute his pack finished burying their objects and then Deaton
started the enchantment.
“In this night and in this hour, I call upon the ancient power” Deaton chanted
with eyes closed and both hands flat with a silver dagger on it. ”From the
Moon, this power came.” Getting the dagger with one hand, Deaton asked for both
Derek and Talia’s hand and then aligned Talia and Derek’s hands letting the
dagger’s blade cut the palm of their hands in one go, leaving a deep cut open.
With the enchantment, their hands didn’t heal, letting the blood pours on the
ground by the Nemeton.
Deaton continued, ”Take this power through the night into a new Dawn” Then
motioning to Derek say his part, Deaton put his hands on both Talia and Derek's
shoulder, chanting “Through Nemeton, I call upon my Ancestors and Spirits, send
the words from all across the land.”
“I become what you are by your will and mine, with the acceptance of the pack.”
Derek said, feeling the rush of power the Nemeton was releasing.
Talia got on her knees submitting to her son, after her, all pack members do
the same and Derek can feel their acceptance towards him deep within him. ”I am
what you are becoming, you will be what I am.” Talia said her part and held her
son’s cut hand with hers also cut. A bright white light shined from their
joined hands while she continued. ”What's mine is yours, what's yours is mine.”
Derek felt an energy passing through her hands into him, it passed from his
hand, into his arm, going through all of his body, a wave of power making him
tremble but he said the last remaining words of the ritual. "My pack is my life
and my strength."
Then finally, while the red of her eyes faded into blue Derek’s eyes bled
bright red, and he fell on the ground howling so loud that the ground shook
below them all.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
After the ceremony, the pack gathered at the Hale house to an early breakfast.
Derek was feeling drunk with power everything was heightened. He could hear,
see and smell things miles away. From the table with his pack Derek could see
the sun appearing far away, bright orange and yellow lights coming from the
horizon past the trees, something amazing and beautiful, he wasn’t accustomed
seeing the sun at this far. It will take some time to settle the power, till he
can control and get used to it, but Derek was feeling good about all of it. The
power felt amazing, his skin was tingling all over, and his wolf wanted to be
closer to his pack, scent them, touch them until they all smelled like their
Alpha, and Derek could feel that his pack wanted that as well. Since his father
died, his mother didn’t let the pack be too close to her like before the fire,
even her children. Derek missed the closeness, so being Alpha, he will change
that.
Although Derek was listening to so many things, the fast heartbeat of Stiles
was louder in his ears, and he kept sending reciprocated glances to Stiles
without even noticing. He was trying so hard not to look at the boy, because
Malia was watching him, angrily, like she knew what Derek wanted. And oohhow he
wanted Stiles right then, it was insane. Fortunately, with his increased powers
Derek could cloak the arousal, want and need that was coming off of him even
more easily. But Malia could still see his face, and Derek really couldn't hide
the smiles he was giving Stiles every time their eyes met, because yes Stiles
wanted him as well, and Derek was feeling the boy’s emotions within him, even
better than before. Stiles was determined to be with him, and there was nothing
Derek wanted more at that moment.
After the ritual the pack became a little needy for their Alpha, someone was
always touching him, while talking to him at the table and he would touch them
back and feel each one happy with their Alpha reciprocated touch. Derek decided
they should spend some time together in the den, maybe sleep cuddling since
they got up so early and everybody was a little sleepy, some more than a
little, he included.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
While everybody was adjusting themselves at the den, Malia grabbed Stiles by
the arm, leading the boy upstairs and saying she wanted to tell him something.
His baby cousin was very excited, which made Derek feel something turn in his
stomach a little, even more so when he felt Stiles feel just about the same,
making him feel double the uneasy feeling. He walked a little closer to the
stairs, not that he needed that to hear but it was like a pull that he couldn't
resist, but stopped there and tilted his ears to listen. His mother looked at
him suspiciously, but Derek didn’t care, this was his mate.
Malia said, voice excited. ”I have to tell you something amazing.”
Stiles answered, voice a little uncertain. ”Okay”
”You’re my mate!” His baby cousin said, but her voice was low as if she didn’t
want anyone to hear just yet.
Immediately his stomach drop and his beta form started to surface wanting to
rip his flesh to get out, body shaking all over. Derek was bracing himself
trying to control it, but the feelings were overwhelming him because Stiles was
trembling and feeling sick to his stomach and he could not sort out his
feelings from the boy’s. He heard Stiles’ shaking voice saying.
“What?”
”Isn’t that amazing? I’m so happy!” Malia said still unbelievable excited.
Derek just couldn’t figure out why Malia wasn't noticing that was wrong and
that Stiles wasn’t okay with that. Where were her instincts? What was
happening? He heard Stiles’ legs fault, and the boy almost fell to the ground
before she caught him.
”Are you okay Stiles?” Malia said truly concerned as she stopped her boyfriend
from falling.
”Yes, sorry, I was just... surprised, that’s all...Mates huh, cool. I’m just…"
The boy was taking a deep breath, seemly to staid himself. "Yeah, that’s great,
beautiful.”
As Derek tried to breathe and stop the shift, he felt the boy calming down a
little. Stiles was confused and surprised, but yet was trying to be okay with
what he had heard. That was too much for Derek, and he stormed out from the
den, into the kitchen and back door, leaving the house beta shifted. He ran so
fast, they barely saw him past them. Derek ran and ran till he no longer could
hear or feel the boy, and he kept running because if he stopped, he would fall
apart.
 
########################
 
Stiles was hugging Malia tightly, breathing deeply to calm his heart down. ”Oh
God, what was I about to do? Break up with my mate to be with someone else.
This is crazy.” Stiles didn’t understand why he didn’t feel as strongly for
Malia as he felt for Derek, it didn’t make any sense. But his mother said a
wolf knows when they find their mate. Malia had to be right about that, right?
He guessed he should be happy, because if what little he knew about mates was
true, he and Malia would be together forever, like an early marriage that you
couldn’t get a divorce. After a few moments hugging her Stiles looked at his
girlfriend, Malia had a bright smile as if she was so happy that nothing could
ruin her moment with him. Stiles could not resist and smiled back, leaning to
kiss her on the mouth, but he stopped seeing Talia coming from the kitchen,
panting, it looked like the former Alpha was running. And his mother came from
behind them.
”Did you caught him, Talia?” Claudia said coming from the den’s door, towards
Talia.
”No! He is drowning in power, and I’m still weak from the ritual, and even if I
wasn’t he’s the Alpha now I would not be able to catch him! You fucking know
that!” Talia said almost screaming. Stiles looked at her with wide eyes, Talia
never swears, she must be really pissed off.
”Calm down Talia, it's going to be okay!” His mother said in a soothing voice.
It was so damn confusing, what the hell was going on? They seemed to be talking
about something in their minds.
”Are you kiddingme?! Get the hell out of my house!” Talia said now really
screaming and flashing blue eyes at his mother.
Stiles was frozen in place, Talia and his mother were best friends, something
really serious must have happened. In a few seconds, everybody got upstairs
with them. His dad placed himself between Talia and his mother. Isaac, Cora and
Erica went to Talia’s side while Peter grabbed Malia from his side and dragged
her out of the house. The rest was spread out near them.
”What’s going on, why are you talking to my wife like that Talia?” John said,
face red with anger looking directly at Talia’s face like he didn’t fear her at
all, and probably didn’t, he was the Sheriff after all.
Talia took a deep breath and said in a low menacing tone. ”John you can talk to
your wife about this for all I care! But rest assured this is her fault!” Then
she turned her back at John walking away with Isaac, Cora, and Erica in tow.
”What happened?” His dad asked looking at both, him and his mother. Stiles felt
like it was directed at him somehow.
”I don’t know! I was just here with my girlfriend, I swear to God! This was not
my fault dad!” He said, shaking nervously and feeling a hole inside him,
everything was such a mess.
His mother turned to face him, clutched his shoulder looking at him softly.
”It’s okay sweetheart, we know it isn't.”
”Let's go home John, please, we can talk about this later.” Claudia said
grabbing his father’s hand and leaving. He followed them waving goodbye to
Scott who was in the middle of the room looking confused.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
”Go to your room please, I need to talk to your dad in private.” Claudia said
when they got home.
Stiles tried to distract himself in his bedroom, but his mind was full of
thoughts about mates, Malia, Derek, his mother, Talia, ”What was that all
about?” What did his mother do that made Derek get out of there running and
Talia so pissed? He needed to know what happened. If only he could hear them
talking downstairs. It was times like that that Stiles wished he was a
supernatural being, but then again he liked being human, he didn’t have super
hearing or super strength, but he is smart enough not to need any of that.
Maybe Scott had heard something. He sent a text to Scott, asking his friend
what was going on but didn’t get a reply. With a heavy sigh, he got up from his
desk chair and threw himself face first on his bed. In a few minutes, his best
friend was climbing his bedroom window.
”Dude, what happened? Did you hear something?” He asked Scott, sitting up.
”No, we were getting ready to play some game, then Derek burst out so fast like
he was a vampire or something and Talia followed him, next thing I know she was
throwing your mother out.” Scott said dumbfounded.
”Vampire, really Scott? Vampires don't exist and even if they did, a vampire
you wouldn’t have seen it dumbass!” He stopped, thinking for a second,
realizing Scott could help with his hearing.
”My mom is talking with my dad downstairs, can you hear what they’re saying?”
”Yes, but doesn’t make any sense. Your dad asked your mother if she was sure
that what she saw was true and she said she didn’t know anymore, then your dad
asked what she was going to do about Talia and Derek, and she said that would
figure out and that Talia just needed time and everything was going to be
okay.” His friend sighed.
”So it’s a witch thing, some vision she had that went bad, is that it? That
doesn’t make any sense, Talia knows visions can change and sometimes it's not
even accurate. What else they’re saying?” Stiles said frowning.
”Nothing, she went out of the house, and he’s in the living room. But Stiles,
your mother lied.” Scott said with sad puppy eyes.
”What? About what?” Stiles asked getting a little nervous.
”The part where Talia needs time, and everything will be okay.” The sad face
Scott was giving him was making him feel a little afraid.
”That’s not possible, they’ve been best friends for over 20 years, Scott, what
could possibly make Talia and Derek that mad? And besides, I don’t think this
is so bad that Derek will throw us out from the pack, right?” Stiles said but
wasn't feeling very certain of it, the thought of not being in Derek’s pack
made his insides turn.
”I don’t know dude, Talia and Isaac locked themselves in the office and didn’t
get out anymore. Peter and Malia went home and stayed there as well. The girls
are tracking Derek it’s pretty messed up.” Scott said with his hands on his
pockets.
”Thanks for the confidence dude! I have to know what happened, gonna talk to my
mom, this doesn’t affect just her. I don’t wanna get out of the pack, I can’t
actually, not anymore anyway.” He sighed deeply remembering Malia.
”What do you mean you can’t?” His friend asked confused.
”Well, Malia said I’m her mate. At first, I hated it but, I don’t know Scott.
It'll be okay, right? You’re happy, right?”
”Yeah,” Scott said with a dreaming smile. ”I have to go, Allison is waiting.”

See the end of the chapter for more notes
Stiles watched frustrated as Scott went out of the window. He just said Malia
was his mate and Scott left him there like all was right in the world. Stiles
was pretty sure Scott could see and smell that he was  not okay with that,
since not only Scott's a werewolf but also knows Stiles since they were little
boys. Sometimes Stiles really wanted to punch his bestie. Why couldn’t Allison
ever wait? Well, it wasn't really Allison’s fault that Scott did those things
and most times Stiles didn't mind, but sometimes he really wished Scott would
see that he needed his best friend, like at that moment.
He got up from bed to go to his mother since he couldn't talk about his problem
with his best friend and he really wanted to know what the hell happened.
Stiles was so full of emotions, and he needed to figure out at least that. He
passed his father who was in his office looking into some files with a glass of
whiskey in hand. ” Jesus, how serious was this thing? ” Stiles found his mother
in the kitchen, sitting at the table with her head lowered in between her
folded arms. He could see that she wasn't okay too, but Stiles needed something
to make him feel better. As he approached her, Claudia lifted her head, and his
mother's eyes were red with unspilled tears.
”Hi sweetheart, I was gonna talk to you in a bit ”
"Mom, what really happened? Talia was so out of herself she usually is so calm.
She never swears, I actually can't remember hearing her swear, like ever!"
”Oh Sweetie, don't worry it's gonna be okay. I’m gonna talk to her later.” She
sighed, making grabby hands towards Stiles. ”Come here, I wanna talk to you
about something, okay?” He nodded, sitting on his mother’s lap resting his head
on her shoulder and she wrapped her arms around him, the action soothing him.
”I don’t know how to say this. I was trying to stay out of it as much as I
could, but...” His mother sighed again kissing his forehead.
”Is this about Malia? Mom stop, she just told me I am her mate. I know you
don't like her, but I do. I really like her mom, and now she'll be your
daughter in law, right? Isn't that what it means to be mates? Like a marriage
kinda thing?” His mother got silent for a few seconds, and Stiles started to
get nervous again. Because not only he didn’t really know if he wanted to be
with Malia forever but also he was seventeen that was going too fast, and
Stiles wasn't ready for that kind of commitment.
”Sweety, it’s not just a marriage kind of thing, it’s more than that.” She
said, making him get up from her lap to sit in front of her.
"But it's a good thing, right? I read about mates with Scott, and I know that
it means that we are a perfect match. I mean, you said the wolf in them knows
when they find a mate." He said, poking his fingernails and she just stared at
him confused. Why was he feeling this way? He should be happy! Why was he
waiting for his mother to do something about that? To help him understand what
was happening?
”Stiles, I know you like Derek, don’t lie to me.” His mother said looking
sharply into his eyes.
”Doesn’t matter how I feel about Derek mom. I’m not gonna just tell Malia that
I like him if I’m supposed to be with her. And besides, I like her too.” As
Stiles said that, his mother's expression changed completely to frightened as
if Claudia didn’t expect that reaction from Stiles. She sighed looking like she
was giving up on trying to convince her son not to be with Malia. Stiles didn’t
know if he was relieved or terrified.
”You’re sure about this? About her?” His mother asked looking really nervous,
maybe even as much as he was. Which did not help his own nerves at all, but
what else could he tell her. Malia was his mate, sure he could fight it if
they’re not True mates, and Stiles was pretty sure they weren’t but Stiles
didn’t know if he wanted to cause this kind of pain in their lives and Malia
was so happy when she told him.
”Yes, I’m sure.” He said, trying to sound sure of himself, cause Stiles was
falling apart from inside out and he wasn’t even thinking straight, but from
the look on his mother face, he succeeded.
”Well, if you sure and if you want her.” Claudia gave him a small smile. ”If
you’re happy, then I’m happy too.” Then she pulled him into her arms hugging
him tightly. Stiles felt like if he stopped hugging her, he would fall, his
insides were lurching, and he was holding his breath. Stiles felt like his
world was falling down.
 
########################
 
Faraway from the Hale house and the pack, after a couple of hours, Derek
finally stopped running. With his knees falling to the ground, hands touching
the dirty, heavy breath coming out of his mouth hurting his throat, sweaty and
shaky. " This is what you deserve. " Derek thought about all the wrong things
he did. How was his fault that Paige died, and also how part of his family
died. He was so blind with Kate, so young and stupid. Derek should have known
Kate wasn't his mate, he would be an Alpha for God's sake! How stupid or in
love a wolf have to be to ignore his instincts like that? Because yes, Derek
could remember feeling something wrong when he said Kate was his mate. How
could he ignore that? And Malia was on the same page as he was, young, in love
and blind. God, the irony of that.
But his instincts were heightened now, Derek knew what he had to do, and more
importantly, he knew Stiles was his and no one else's. But the boy wasn't
feeling the pull, not like the wolves, witches, and others supernatural beings
do, Stiles was only human. Sure, they feel something but not as strong, and
maybe the boy could be fooled by Malia's affections. NO, Derek will not let
this happen. Decided, he got up from the ground, took a deep breath to staid
his breathing and ran back to his house.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
”Oh thank God Derek, are you okay?” Talia greeted him at the door.
Scowling at his mother, he said. ”Where’s everybody? I can't hear them.”
”I sent Claudia home, and as for the rest they felt like getting away.”
As Derek entered further into the house, he smelled the anger, sadness,
confusion and regret that lingered there even after everybody was gone. ”You
tossed her out, didn't you mother?”
"This is her fault, Derek."
”You have no right to do that anymore! I will not tolerate you going behind my
back!”
His mother looked at him, and Derek could feel the anger boiling from her eyes,
but both of them knew, Derek is the alpha now, and Talia knew he was right, she
couldn't make decisions without him anymore. ”But Derek, you know I'm right."
She said through clenched teeth.
"No, It's my fault. I should have done something earlier. I need Peter, get him
and wait at the office, I will be right there." She nodded and left.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
As Derek walked through the house calling Isaac, he grabbed his phone to call
Claudia and ask her to come to talk to him about her son. Derek found the door
from Isaac’s room closed and realized that’s why his cousin didn’t answer
soundproof walls. Sometimes he would forget about the soundproof walls, after
four years in college where they hadn't that. At college, Derek and Isaac could
hear everything in the bedrooms, it was horrible, there was just so many things
he was okay with hearing. That’s why werewolves usually live far from the
civilization in the middle of the woods, and of course, soundproof walls in all
of the bedrooms, because no one wants to hear their pack mates getting
intimate, alone or otherwise. That’s why werewolves usually live far from the
civilization in the middle of the woods, and of course, soundproof walls in all
of the bedrooms, because no one wants to hear their pack mates getting
intimate, alone or otherwise. Derek knocked at the door and entered, Isaac was
sitting on the bed watching some show at his TV, but when Derek got closer, his
cousin turned off the TV and got up with a frown, probably seeing the pissed
off face Derek was displaying.
"How could you let my mother do that to Claudia?" Derek said.
"Derek, she's my aunt! How was I supposed to say that she can't throw someone
out of her own house?" Isaac said exasperatedly.
Derek looked at his cousin scowling. "This is the pack's house, it doesn't
belong to anyone, and you know it! I have to be able to trust you when I'm not
around Isaac! You supposed to be my second, act like it!” He sighed deeply,
scratching his forehead, as he looked at his cousin gaping at him.
Derek knew he crossed a line, but he also knew that Isaac had to change his
behavior towards his mother in pack related issues. They’re too young for that,
didn’t matter the seven years of training. Normally they would have ten to
fifteen years, but his mother didn’t want to wait that long and made them do
everything faster. That was why the two of them grew apart from the pack, too
much to do not enough time. But Derek knew it wasn't the same, it's a slow
training and not just about behavior, read and understand. It’s about personal
growth as well. Derek started the training too early to be able to fully
embrace the Alpha status, let alone Isaac, who had to train with Peter of all
people. His cousin was not ready at all.
Derek rubbed his hand on his face. ”Look, I shouldn't have said it like that.
You know I trust you, Isaac. But when it's pack business you’re not her nephew,
you’re her superior.” That did not ease up things with Isaac, his cousin was
still smelling sad, and Derek could not stand that. Derek didn’t know if that
was because he still didn’t bond properly with his pack or if it was an Alpha
thing now, but he felt the urge to comfort his cousin.
”Come here.” He said, pulling Isaac into his arms, brushing his cheek on
Isaac’s, scent marking him. That apparently was all they needed, including
Derek, who got a little less stressed with the whole situation. ”Come on, Peter
and my mother are waiting in the office.”
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Claudia arrived at the Hale house really fast, and Derek led her and Isaac to
the office, where Peter and his mother were waiting. They all sat, while Derek
kept standing.
”Why nephew, You're barely an alpha and is already barking orders?” Peter said
smirking.
”I am not in the mood Peter.”
”Well then, let's get this over with.” Peter said.
”As most of you know, I found my mate. I do not wish to tell him right now for
reasons of my own. And none of you will say or do anything about this.” Derek
said.
”Look, Derek, I don’t know anymore. I was ready to tell him about you today,
but Stiles said he likes Malia and he’s very determined to be with her. I’m
sorry, but maybe I was wrong.” Claudia said.
”What the hell are you talking about? Are you implying that Stiles isn’t
actually  my mate?” Derek said in disbelief, controlling the urge to sink his
teeth into her throat.
”Well, it wouldn’t be the first time you are wrong about it.” Claudia said then
tensed up looking apologetic.
”Excuse me!?” Derek said bewildered. Nobody knew the real motive that drove
Kate to burn their house. Derek only had told his mother and Isaac. It was
easier to let everyone think it was hatred for werewolves, cause after she
burned his family alive, Kate was always saying she hated the werewolves
anyway. Derek remembered his mother’s words when he told her about Kate. "Let
them think whatever they want honey, keep this between you and me, okay? This
is not your fault she’s a troubled girl." Talia had said, and he was more than
happy to concede cause he could not handle the face their family would give him
otherwise.
”Claudia! I told you this in a private conversation!” His mother said, growling
at her best friend.
”I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just... I want my son to be happy this is very
confusing for me.” She said lowering her head, and Derek sighed folding his
arms. He could understand her, cause Derek also wanted Stiles to be happy, even
with Malia, before he could feel the boy’s emotions.
"I know, but I had some time to think. Malia's wrong. She is young, in love and
doesn't know what she's feeling. And yes, I know how it feels! But I’m  not
that young anymore, and I know that Stiles is  my mate and mine only." Derek
finished looking at Peter, waiting for what's to come. " Is Peter going be
angry at me? " No one could predict his uncle's actions after the fire, and
usually, they were always careful with Peter. For the past seven years, Derek's
uncle had slashed out several times for no reason, even at work. It was a good
thing Peter always had his own office.
”Don't look at me, I agree with you.” Peter said like nothing major had
happened. ”Yesterday, my daughter told me Stiles was her mate, but I could feel
something was off. You've been acting weird around him for a while now. Today,
with your behavior, it was obvious for an observant person like me.” His uncle
smirked.
”How are you so sure Derek?” Claudia asked.
"I can feel what Stiles is feeling when I'm near him. It got so strong today
after the ceremony, that I couldn't distinguish what was mine and what was his.
And let me tell you, Claudia, despite what he might have told you, Stiles is
not okay with Malia being his mate. I could feel it the moment she told him."
Derek said, looking irritated.
”My God honey, this is amazing! That means you're bonding with him already,
without him even knowing you’re mates.” Talia said amazed, and Derek eased up a
little.
”But, he's confused and maybe, being human, makes him susceptible to love her,
and I can't have that. I need Malia to find her mate if she really has one.”
Derek said the last part and looked at Peter again.
”What, you think I know who it is? I am smart Derek, but I can't see the
future.” Peter said.
”That's not why I asked you to come here, I have an idea, and you’re not gonna
like it.”
”Again with that look nephew, just say it already.” Peter said looking bored
and rolling his eyes.
”In about a month school starts, and Malia will attend to Beacon Hills High
this year.” Derek said in a flat tone.
”No. She’s not.” Peter said shaking his head and getting up, towards the door.
Derek followed him.
”Peter, this is not a request. She can't find her mate if she doesn't get to
know people besides her family.” Derek said, placing his hand flat on the door,
blocking it.
”I said, No. She’s too young, and I’m not risking my little girl in a school
with a bunch of humans. You know that a lot of them still hate us.” Peter said,
defying his Alpha.
”Peter, she isn't gonna be alone Cora, Erica, Scott, and Stiles will be there,
there's no need for concern. We hadn't an incident in years.”
They stared each other defiantly, in the eyes for several seconds, cause Derek
didn’t want to make his uncle submit to him so early, with the pack on edge
without the proper bond after the ceremony, especially cause this was Derek’s
fault, again. He’s a fucking mess. But yet he didn’t bend, looking fiercely
into his uncle's eyes.
"Brother, you know this is the right thing for your daughter as well. When
Malia finds her mate she will be happy, otherwise, she will be devastated when
Stiles chooses Derek. They're True mates Peter, and that will happen
eventually. And it's not like Derek is sending her to a boarding school, she
will be with her pack here." Talia said. Peter looked at her angry, then nodded
and went to the doorknob again.
”Can I be the one to tell my child that or are you declining me this as well,
my alpha?” His uncle said sarcastically to him. Derek rolled his eyes and
opened the door.
”Do not tell her about Stiles and me!” He said in a menacing tone at his uncle,
who nodded still angry. ”Isaac, go with Peter. I wanna know what he will tell
her.” His cousin nodded and followed Peter.
Closing the door again, Derek turned back to his mother. "Mother, this isn't
Claudia's fault, it's mine, I shouldn't have let that happen. This is her son's
life too, mom." Derek sighed, waiting for his mother say something. She was
just so stubborn, well he got it from her, none of this would have happened
otherwise.
"Okay, I may have overreacted, but you ran out so fast, it freaked me out,
honey." His mother said to him, then looked at her friend with a soft glance.
"I shouldn't have thrown you out, I'm sorry." Talia hugged her friend who was
saying "I'm sorry" into his mother embrace.
”You have to tell him, Derek. If Stiles, in fact, isn't okay with it, then he
must be quite confused, and I cannot drag this any further.” Claudia said,
determined not to follow her alpha’s orders. And Derek knew he couldn't get
between a mother and a son.
”I know. That wasn't how I wanted this to happen. I wanted to start things slow
then tell Stiles after we were already dating. You know it’s different for
humans, and I didn't want to overwhelm him, but you’re right. Give me a few
more days I just have to figure out what to do.”
”Okay, I should go, John is probably nervous waiting for me.” Claudia said
shyly, and Derek pulled her into his embrace, feeling the tension leaving her
body as she sighed into his shoulder. It felt great, being able to calm his
pack mate like this.
”I’m gonna start with the mating archives now, don't let anyone bother me
unless it's urgent.” He said to his mother after Claudia left.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Derek stayed at the office reading the archives on mating like he promised his
mother. There were so many details, so many histories. It had specifics about
how the ‘awakening' of mates works, not only for were's of several kinds but
witches, druids and others supernaturals beings. Derek couldn't read all of
that in one day, that wasn't even possible. Rummaging through all of them,
looking for what he should read first, what was important, he scattered the
books all over the office floor, separating only those he wished to read. At
first, Derek thought about reading only those related to werewolves, but in the
pack, they had a witch and a druid, so he better read those too. And of course
about humans, but those were too small and didn't have much content. They only
had material covering about forty years before that day, Derek knew humans and
supernatural didn't mix well before but nothing before forty years ago? That
shouldn't be right. There were journals from Alpha's mates -witches, druids,
other were's- but none written by human mates. Why didn't his father wrote a
journal? " Stiles would appreciate a journal to know more. " He thought,
frowning. After half an hour separating everything he should read, and putting
back the rest Derek started with the druid stuff moving to witches next. Took
him almost three hours to finished all of them and they didn't have nearly the
same amount as the ones he was going to read next, about wolves. He needed a
break, but the books couldn't be left out of the locked shelves so Derek
couldn't actually leave the office without putting them back.
Stretching himself and popping his bones, Derek laid down on the floor thinking
about what he found out. There was some pretty nice stuff, like, after the
mating, true mates acquire special abilities. Could be just one of them or
both, and he wondered which abilities he will acquire. Would Stiles acquire
abilities as well? Being human, Stiles probably wouldn't. His mind then went
back to that morning, "Is Stiles okay?" He wondered. The boy wasn't very
thrilled with the idea of Malia being his mate. "But what if Stiles falls for
her and Malia does not find her mate?" Cause even though was written on the
archives that True mates always find each other, Stiles was human, maybe is
different, didn't say. Derek couldn't just sit around and wait, but he couldn't
do much at that moment. Maybe he should send a text, let the boy know he was
thinking about him. Baby steps.
Derek:
I'm sorry about my mom, are you and your mother okay?
It seemed like Stiles was waiting for his text, maybe even writing one, because
the answer came right away, filling Derek with joy and hope, making him think
that everything would be okay and Stiles would be his.
Stiles:
You don't have to apologize for her, my mom is fine now, after talking to
yours. What happened? What did my mom do? Everybody was crazy and shit.
Derek:
It was my fault. I shouldn't have left, that was what made everybody on edge.
Stiles:
Why did you leave? Nobody tells me anything. I know it was something about a
vision my mom had, I overheard her talking about it with my dad.
Derek wanted to tell the boy everything and let Stiles know they’re mates, so
he could hold him tight and never let go. Derek wanted to kiss Stiles, leave
his scent all over the boy so everyone could know Stiles was his. But he
couldn't, not yet, he has to think about his pack, his family. And the balance
and happiness of the pack are more important.
Derek:
I can't tell you.
Stiles didn't reply, and Derek didn't know what to say, because what he wanted
he couldn't do. There were so many books to read yet. Not wanting to waste time
anymore, he started to read again. The hours passed he was still halfway
through, but the reading became more and more interesting. Derek's mother was
right if he had read this he would have known right away that Stiles was his
True mate, and he figured out why he had that uneasy feeling during the
Bengel's pack dinner. The book said, when a wolf has a True Mate, whenever his
mate gets intimate with someone else, the wolf feels a physical pain that
angers him. ”Intimate? Not gonna let that happen!” Derek also learned that he
still had more to develop, with and for Stiles. This bonding feeling, ‘the
link' as they called it, will keep developing till the mates could feel each
other’s feelings from any place in the world. " That's amazing, it will be very
handy when Stiles goes to college, but will Stiles be able to feel it as well?
" He hoped so. Derek smiled brightly he regretted not having read those books
before, but then.
”What?” He said to himself aloud. ” Is that real? I have to ask mother. ” He
thought, blushing hard. Will he be able to talk to his mother about that? He
had to Stiles will need to know about it. He was so nervous, what if that would
make Stiles not want him? Getting up and running out the door to find Talia, he
completely forgot about the archives and left the door opened.
"Where is Mother?" He asked Cora in the kitchen.
”I think she's in her room. Why are you so worked up?” His sister asked
frowning.
”Nothing.” Derek bolted upstairs, finding his mother in her bedroom, arranging
some clothes in the dresser. ”Mom can I ask you something… um, very personal?”
He asked, not looking at her after he closed the door.
"What is it, honey?" Talia said, concern coming out of her voice with the look
on Derek's face. Her son was terrified.
”I was, reading about mating, and I...”
"Ooh!" Her voice softened, and she sat on her bed patting beside her.
Reluctantly, he did what she wanted. "You're reading fast honey I didn't think
you're gonna get there just yet. Ask away."
"Everything that's written there, is true?"
"Well, I can't answer that I don't have experience with everything. Most of
those archives are really old." Talia said smirking. Apparently, she wanted him
to be specific.
He grunted, hiding his face in his hands. "Is knotting real?"
She giggled. "Yes, but as you probably already read, it will only appear with
Stiles."
"Mom, that's not normal."
”It is for Alphas who have mates, makes it easier to conceive.” His mother said
frowning.
"Stiles can't even conceive!" He said exasperatedly.
”I know he can't, but I didn't make the rules Derek.”
”Why didn’t you tell me this before?” Derek was so frustrated, why couldn't he
be normal?!
"You didn't even want to talk about having a mate Derek, how was I supposed to
talk about this with you?" She raised an eyebrow at her son.
”Do you have it?” He asked blushing, if his mother said no, then maybe not
every Alpha had.
Talia laughed at him. ”Honey I’m a woman, It doesn't work that way, but yes I
have something similar that does the job.”
"This is..." He stopped with a halt, getting up from the bed. Stiles was near
enough for him to feel, and the boy had his emotions all over the place,
feeling frustrated, confused, angry, sad and guilty. Worst of all, most of it
was towards Derek, if not all, but again, Derek could not know for sure whom
most of the feelings belong to, him or the boy. Although Derek was not angry.
He walked through the hall, down the stairs to look for Stiles but didn't find
he could feel the boy even more near him, so he kept walking through the house,
the door to the office was wide open. " Mom’s gonna kill me."  He thought,
rushing to the door, then stopped in the doorway. Stiles was sitting on the
ground in the middle of the books, seemingly looking for a specific book.
"What the hell are you doing?" Derek looked at the boy with a deep scowling,
and when Stiles looked back, he met an angry face.
"What it looks like I'm doing Derek? I'm fucking looking for something about
human mates! I gotta tell you, this is bullshit, you guys have nothing! And I
mean fucking nothing! How you have nothing on this, huh?" How was Derek going
to argue with that? The boy was totally right they had nothing useful on humans
and the little Derek read before was already locked up.
"Those books stay locked for a reason, but you already know that! Get the hell
out!" Derek couldn't stop the angry feeling he was getting, the boy was  so
damn angry, and because of it, Derek was too. But that was not supposed to
happen, he should not be talking with Stiles that way. Why couldn't he separate
his feelings from the boy, damn it?
"You're an asshole!" The boy stormed out of the room bumping hard on Derek's
shoulder. And damn it, that sentence meant even more than what had just
happened. Leaning at the doorway, Derek hid his face in his hands and sighed
deeply. " What did I just do? ”
"Hey man, Did you finished the archives already? We're going to that club I
told you about, come with us." Isaac was by the door with one hand at the
doorknob, Stiles and Malia were at the Jeep already, waiting for his cousin.
"I told you before,  no ." He said, glaring at his cousin, then closed the
door. His day couldn't get any worse, he totally forgot about the date night
Stiles was having with Malia.
 
########################
 
Stiles stormed out of the Hale house walking fast and huffing. He was so angry
at Derek that he walked past his girlfriend and headed to the Jeep without a
word, yanking the Jeep’s door and throwing himself on his seat. As he slammed
the door shut, Malia sat in the passenger seat. Stiles didn't know why he was
that angry at Derek, not really. Because the angry feeling actually started
after Stiles spoke with his mother earlier, It was like, deep inside he felt a
need that Derek would make everything okay and when that didn't happen, Stiles
just got mad. Derek denying telling him about what happened that morning
aggravated so much that Stiles didn’t even answer the man's message. And what
was that at the office?! ” Such an asshole! ” He should be allowed to research
what was happening to him, that wasn't fair! And just because Derek was the
Alpha from there on, didn't mean the man could start bossing Stiles around, no
way, not happening!
”Stiles, you okay?” His girlfriend asked.
”I’m fine.”
”You’re lying. Why?” She frowned looking at him.
"I really don't wanna talk about it, let's just have fun. I'll be okay in a
minute. We're going clubbing." He tried smiling at her but the smile came out
slightly sad, Malia didn't say anything though, just smiled back.
Malia's so understanding he was so lucky to have her! But then, why didn't he
feel lucky? Why he still wanted Derek so much? " What am I gonna do?"  He
thought while driving to the club. Scott and Allison were already in the line
waiting for them. Stiles parked the Jeep, fortunately close, probably because
it was still kinda early and the club wasn't too crowded. Stiles was walking
towards the club when Isaac stopped with a halt, few feet from Scott and
Allison, making Stiles bump his face into the blonde's back.
”Ow, what the hell dude!?” He complained rubbing his face, because hello
werewolf wall and his shoulder was already aching from Derek’s shoulder.
Stiles kept walking, but Isaac didn't follow. In the middle of the path between
Scott and Isaac, he stopped seeing the wary look Scott was giving Isaac. ”
What? ” He thought, looking back at the blonde and understanding Scott's face.
Isaac was frozen in place a mix of excitement and confusion being displayed, in
a very open way. But Stiles dismissed it and kept walking. It's probably a
werewolf thing and Stiles didn't want to be in the middle of it, not that day,
that day he was going to have fun and get drunk. " Yes, that sounds great! "
Isaac started walking slowly to the four of them, who were waiting in line.
Then suddenly, Allison was clinging to Scott like she was trying to avoid
Isaac, with a little blush on her cheek and a tight grip on Scott’s hand.
Stiles looked at that scene thoughtfully, paying close attention. " Okay, now
I'm curious, this should be interesting! " Especially when after that Scott
introduced Allison to Isaac, and she smiled shyly at him, putting her hair
behind the ear flirtatiously. Scott didn't see it or didn't care, but Stiles
got  very interested.
The club looked big from outside it had a shiny sign written ‘Thy Boat’ in
bright pink, an enormous double door with only one side opened, with a very
tall and very muscular man letting -or not- people enter the club.
”Doesn't look like a boat to me.” He said at the door smirking to his friends.
"Wait till you get inside, smart ass." Said the tall and muscular man, with a
bulky voice startling Stiles.
”Jesus! Man, you should be announced before speak! You almost gave me a heart
attack!” The tall man looked smug as if startling Stiles was exactly what the
man wanted.
The club allowed 18+ but marked the underage with a nonwashable stamp -of a
boat- on the left hand. It was easy to pass for an eighteen-year-old, but
twenty-one was harder, which, okay since Isaac was twenty-one and could totally
hook them up. Inside, the club was bigger, if that was even possible. Back in
the center of the club had a stage with a dance floor in front of it. There,
was a band playing, the right side had cabins with a divan in each cabin and
curtains for privacy. On the left side was a huge bar that actually looked like
a boat with several tables not far from the bar. All of the bartenders and
waitresses were wearing sailor clothes and hats, well, slutty sailor but still.
Stiles then noticed security guards -scattered all over the club- also wearing
sailor clothes. Not slutty of course, although that would be funny! He laughed
at the image in his mind.
"Can you imagine those security guards wearing the bartender's clothes? I'd pay
money for that." He said, nudging Scott with his elbow.
"That would be ridiculous." Scott and Isaac laughed, the girls probably didn't
hear Stiles since the music was loud and they were a little far from him.
"Isaac, my man!" Stiles said, passing his arm around Isaac's neck. "Get us some
shots!"
”Are you joking?” The blonde said confused.
"You know, Isaac, you seem like a smart guy, am I joking? Hmm, I don't think
so, no! Come on, get us some shots!" He said grinning and patting Isaac's
shoulders.
"No way, your dad is the Sheriff!"
"What! So? My dad's not gonna find out! Right, Scotty?"
"Like he didn't found out the last time I left you drunk at your bed?" Scott
said laughing.
"Scott, you're supposed to be my best friend!" Isaac was frowning a bit. "Ohhh
come on, Isaac, just one?! Please! We're at a club, people!" He pouted, looking
at Isaac.
”Nope” The blonde answered.
"You're no fun, did you know that? I'm gonna get a drink from a bartender,
you'll see! I'll use my charm." He winked.
Stiles did not get a drink those bartenders were tough little things. The girls
wanted to dance, so they got some soda and water and left the bar straight to
the dance floor. The music was loud in his ears, the air hot with all those
people dancing around them, colorful lights touching their skin. The girls were
dancing together, whispering in each other's ears, Stiles could see them
laughing and having fun. Isaac was cautious in getting too close to Scott but
seemed that the blonde was no longer afraid of getting too close to Allison.
And she was not that shy anymore either, looking directly at Isaac like she
wanted him to get closer. They were definitely flirting, and Scott was
encouraging that, apparently.
"Hey, I wanna dance with you now." Malia said by his ear, getting off of
Allison, looking in his eyes while tracing her finger through his collarbone
till found his belly, in a sexy way. Then Malia turned her back to Stiles,
clutching behind his neck with her hand, dancing in front of him, her ass was
rubbing slightly on his groin. He gripped her waist and placed his head on her
shoulder, the feeling of her ass rubbing into him making him a little horny.
He danced with her in that position, with his hand on her hip, kissing her
neck. When Stiles looked up for a second to see the rest of them, he froze in
place. Isaac and Scott were sandwiching Allison, in an almost pornographic way,
dancing with their bodies sliding in synchrony. Scott was kissing Allison's
neck from behind her, while Isaac was kissing her collarbone and she had her
mouth slightly open. Trailing his gaze down to see the whole picture, Stiles
saw Isaac’s hand inside the girl's top a little above her waist making
Allison's belly show a bit, Scott’s fingers were digging into the flesh of her
hip and she was gripping hard on Isaac's upper arm. Stiles felt the air getting
hotter around him and he gripped harder on Malia’s body. " God, that's hot! "
Not that Stiles wasn't already getting hard from Malia’s body on him but now
his dick wanted desperately to get out and be used! What can he say, teenager
hormones right there!
"You're enjoying watching them, aren't you? I can smell it on you." Malia said
turning to face him and her eyes were piercing blue on him.
”No,  I… I just…” He tried, but she just laughed and grabbed his hand, dragging
him to the nearest available cabin, closing the curtain and shoving Stiles on
the divan.
"It's okay I was enjoying too!" She said, hovering him. ” Oh My God! What! ” He
thought, awed as she continued. "But now I want you!"
"You can have me. Yeah, I want that very much right now! You have no idea!" He
said, because Stiles was really horny at that moment, and why not, right, she
was his girlfriend.
She giggled at that, placing herself on top of him and lowering her head to
kiss and nip his neck. Stiles’ heart jump with the anticipation of what's to
come. He slid his hands from her back to her ass, grabbing it and pulling her
close to him feeling her hot body squeezing him. They were kissing hard, when a
buzzing started in Stiles’ pants, snapping him out of his arousal and opening
his eyes. Stiles considered ignoring it for a second, but the phone buzzed
again and again.
”Are you gonna answer that?” She asked irritated, sitting by his side.
”No?” He tried but stood frozen in place, and something told him to answer.
Stiles was getting nervous every time he felt the buzzing in his body even his
dick was getting affected.
"Just answer that already it's probably your mother, again!" Malia said
angrily.
When Stiles saw Derek’s name on the screen, his stomach dropped with strange
guilt that Stiles didn’t know where was coming from and he wanted to bolt.
”It's Derek.” He said, getting to his feet and going to the bathroom phone in
hand. Derek was calling him! Why was the man calling, and in the middle of the
night? Stiles entered the bathroom, and while heading to the nearest booth to
sit inside, he answered the phone.
"What do you want?" He said with a harsh tone, because yes Stiles was still
pissed at Derek, even though his heart was jumping in happiness with the man's
call.
”Am I interrupting something?” Derek's voice was low and a little sad, it
echoed in Stiles’ head making his heart shrink and the anger disappear.
”No… Nothing, you can talk.” He said that with a hand on his forehead. " What
am I doing! Malia is waiting this is wrong. "
”I’m sorry about earlier I found out something, and I shouldn't let this get to
me, but it did.” And damn, wasn't Stiles happy to hear that.
”Let me guess you can't tell me that either.” He said, frustrated and huffing
loudly.
"No, I can't. I'm sorry, but I promise you, I will someday." Derek said in that
same tone as before, and those words meant something that Stiles didn't know
what but was sure of it, and Stiles could not wait for the day to come.
"You're apologizing a lot today." He sniggered into the phone and Derek laughed
a little.
”Barely became Alpha and I’m failing already, great.” The man said in a playful
tone.
”You know that's not true. Well, maybe, I don't know you won't tell what
happened. When the day comes, and you tell me, then I can say if you’re failing
or not.” He deadpanned.
”Very funny.” Derek said not very amused. ”Do you... have to get back to
whatever you were doing?” And there it was that sad tone again. " What’s up
with that? "
"No, not really." He answered because, didn't want to stop hearing Derek's
voice, it was soothing him in a way Stiles didn't understand.
The two of them kept chatting for about half an hour or so. They talked about
the Alpha's ceremony because Stiles wanted to know how Derek felt, talked about
Stiles' plans for the rest of the summer, Stiles invited Derek to go camping
with him and his friends, the answer was ‘maybe', which was better than ‘no'
and that was enough for Stiles. Derek was making dinner for the pack the next
day and asked Stiles to help him. He was thrilled with that, spending time with
Derek was what he wanted the most lately. Then they started talking about what
they were going to cook for the pack dinner.
”Why not lasagna?” Stiles asked.
”I wanna do something different. I found an Italian recipe that I liked. It’s
called Gnocchi.”
”It doesn’t sound tasty.” He sniggered.
”But looks tasty. I’m gonna sent you a picture.” Derek said, and Stiles waited
till his phone vibrated. He took the phone out of his ear and opened the
picture.
”Does look tasty, is it like pasta?” He asked, curious.
”No, it’s made of potatoes. Just have one problem.” Derek said with an amused
tone.
”What?”
”It’s handmade and takes hours to prepare. You would have to come earlier to my
house.” Derek’s voice sounded a little timid at the last part Stiles thought it
was very endearing.
”I don't see the problem. What time do you want me?” He said, distracted. ”God!
I mean, what time do I have to be there?” He cursed in his mind biting his
bottom lip.
Derek just laughed. ”You can come after breakfast if you like.”
But before Stiles could answer, Scott knocked at the bathroom booth. "Stiles!
You're in there for over half an hour, what are you doing? Malia is pissed!"
His bestie said.
”I have to go.” He said into the phone, hung up and left the booth. ”I lost
track of time.” Stiles said nervously.
”No kidding, and with Derek on the phone!” Scott said it exasperated.
"What? He's my Alpha I'm allowed to talk to him anytime we want. Besides he was
the one who called me and wanted to talk to me." He said that last part with an
affectionately smile.
”You know I supported you with Derek, but Malia is your mate Stiles, you can't
do that to her.” Scott had a deep frown and looked almost hurt for her.
Stiles gaped at his friend, he was feeling enough guilt and didn't need that
reaction from Scott too, especially because Scott didn't even ask how Stiles
felt about the whole situation. He opened his mouth to say something but
couldn't think, what should he say. Without another word, Stiles followed his
friend to the table where the girls and Isaac were sitting. Stiles sat beside
Malia who didn't look at him. She was with her arms crossed and an angry face,
while Allison and Isaac were talking low and too close to be with someone
else's girlfriend.
”I wanna get out of here, I’m hungry.” Malia said.
”Oh my God me too! Starving!” Allison said grinning.
"Let's go then," Stiles said, leaning to speak by his girlfriend's ear. "I'm
sorry, I shouldn't have left you there to answer the phone." His girlfriend
didn't say anything just nodded, and he kissed her cheek.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The entire drive to the 24-hour Restaurant was silent. Malia didn't say a word
to Stiles, and he kept babbling like he usually does when he is nervous. She
just stared through the window, making him feel guilty as hell for wanting
Derek so much and letting his feelings get the best of him. Stiles just kept
thinking that, didn’t make any sense. How could Malia be his mate if he
couldn’t stop thinking and wanting Derek? Sure he was hot and heavy with her an
in the club, but he’s a teenager, that didn’t mean much. Besides, wasn't Stiles
supposed to be wanting her instead? Or at least feel right about all of that,
happy even? ” She does not look happy either. Well, that’s probably my fault. ”
He thought, getting out from the Jeep with her.
They stopped at a diner on the road, there only had a couple of people eating
and a lot of empty tables. Before Stiles walked to the diner, he grabbed
Malia’s hand and pulled her into his arms. She looked sad now it was
heartbreaking. Stiles apologized again, hugging his girlfriend tightly, she
nodded into his neck. The couple stayed like that for a few moments, she
breathing on his neck inhaling his scent and Stiles caressing her back in a
soothing way. He could feel the tension between them lessening and Stiles
breath out in relief, he didn't wanna hurt her.
”Come on, let's eat! My beautiful girlfriend is hungry, and I have to feed
her.” He said, stealing a smile from her, grabbing Malia's hand and walking to
the diner hand in hand.
Inside the diner, Scott, Allison, and Isaac were sitting in one side of the
table, Allison in the middle of the two boys leaving the other side for him and
Malia. They all ordered food, and while waiting and talking to each other,
Stiles was paying attention to the three of them across from him. It was like
all three were dating, always touching each other when possible, looking into
each other’s eyes and flirting. ” Looks like Allison wants to share too, huh. ”
He thought, wondering if maybe Isaac was her mate too, something told him that
yes, they were.
Stiles rested his head on his hand, looking at them. ”So, what's going on? Are
you three mates or just, you know, fooling around?” He asked smirking, and
Malia pinched hard his arm. ”Ow! I’m human you know, that's gonna bruise. Geez,
what's the matter, we’re all friends here, right?” He said, rubbing his arm.
She did not look amused. What could he say, Stiles is a curious guy.
Scott and Isaac exchanged glances as to communicate if they should answer or
not while Allison blushed with the question and was clinging into Isaac, who
wrapped an arm around her. Stiles looked at his bestie expectantly but was
Isaac who talked first.
”Yes, she's my mate too.” The blonde said beaming.
”Cool! Is Allison going to the pack dinner tomorrow? I’m making the dinner and
let me tell you, is going to be good!” He said smiling. Stiles likes Allison,
how could someone not like her? She is the sweetest person he knows.
”Can I?” Allison asked looking at Isaac shyly.
”Of course, you will be pack now.”  The blonde answered leaning to kiss her
cheek.
As Stiles watched them, especially Allison, he could see that she was very
onboard of the mate thing with Isaac too, which made him frown a bit, cause
unlike Scott, who Allison knew for years, she had just met Isaac and was
accepting so quickly.
She didn't even look afraid or any of the things Stiles was feeling about
Malia. No, if anything, looked as if Allison was crushing hard on Isaac, and
jumping head first into the mate thing. Stiles then decided he had to ask her
about that, maybe she could lighten up everything for him, because if Allison
was feeling the mate thing as well, then, maybe Malia was wrong somehow,
because Stiles was definitely not feeling at all.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles parked his Jeep in front of Allison's house, waiting for his courage
surface because if he found out he wasn't actually Malia's mate, she was going
to be devastated. Somehow, Stiles knew he was going to break Malia's heart, and
he was terrified.
Allison was waiting for him, he asked her if he could come by her house in the
morning before the pack night, to talk. So when Stiles finally built up courage
and knocked at her door, she quickly opened. Allison had a big smile as if she
had never been happier in her life.
"Happy, are we?" He said, stepping into her house. Allison laughed, showing her
white teeth and cute dimples.
"I'm just excited about the pack dinner I always wanted to meet the pack."
Allison walked to the couch with little jumps with her feet, looking like a
little lamb, those fluffy little bouncy and cute ones. Then she sat with her
legs crossed on the couch, and when she turned her head to look at him, her
curly hair fell down, and she rested her chin on her left hand, still smiling.
Stiles never saw Allison that happy and suddenly he didn't even need to ask her
anything. He knew that Malia wasn't his mate. But since he was there and she
was willing to talk, didn't hurt to ask a few things.
"So, what you wanna know?" She asked cheerily.
He sighed and said. "You just seems to like the idea of Isaac being your mate
too, and I just thought, why? You barely know him. Sure, he's hot and all that
but, it's kind of serious, being mates I mean. You know that, right?" Stiles
frowned a bit, but Allison didn't even flinch.
She opened her mouth to say something but paused, biting the tip of her little
finger smiling. "Yes, I do know." She glanced around the living room as if she
was looking for someone then scooted over closer to Stiles and said.
"I shouldn't tell you this but, maybe it's okay since you have a mate too.
Lydia told me about mates a while ago. I didn't understand at first, cause I
couldn't imagine not being Scott's mate and he never said anything, so I just
assumed I wasn't. When he told me, it was like I could finally understand what
she was doing."
"What do you mean 'what she was doing'??" He asked confused.
"She had a dream a few months ago, about her mate, like a vision. And then she
broke up with Jackson, telling him she wants to be single when her mate finds
her." Allison said.
"Ooh, so that's why they broke up, and Jackson is even more of douche than
before. Makes me almost feel sorry for the guy, almost!" Stiles couldn't help
but snigger at that, that guy was an ass. Stiles knew Lydia was a witch but
didn’t know she had visions. His mother said only powerful witches have and
Lydia barely used her magic. ”I didn’t know she had visions.”
”She doesn’t. It’s just how the mates pull works with witches.”
”Cool, so that’s how it’s called, pull, huh. I kept saying ‘mate thing’.” He
sniggered. “So... Mm. What are you feeling, for Isaac?” Stiles was curious,
cause although he already knew Malia wasn’t his mate, he wanted to know more
about the pull of mates, especially for humans, cause then, next time that
happens, Stiles would know what he was getting into. If there was a next time
anyway.
"I can’t explain exactly but I am happy, and I know in my heart, this is just
right. You know, like Isaac was the missing piece between Scott and me.”
Allison said radiantly, her happiness was contagious and he smiled back.
”Yeah, I understand.” Stiles didn’t know why, but he understood exactly what
she meant.
Chapter End Notes
     I get really really nervous every time I post a new chapter!!!
     I discovered that I have a really, really fragile writing ego, so
     please be kind to me!!
***** Eight *****
Chapter Notes
     Here some Sterek moments for you!!
     Omg, is it chapter 8 already? Wow, I have more ideas for this fic
     yet. :D
Derek woke up early as usual and went for his morning run, then to the grocery
store to buy the ingredients for dinner. While he was picking some things at
the grocery, Stiles sent a text telling him he was gonna talk to a friend
before going to his house. Since Derek wasn't even at home, he told Stiles
there's no need to hurry, cause he was still grocery shopping. As Derek walked
looking for the ingredients, he thought about what he should do to show Stiles
that the two should be together instead of Stiles and Malia, without telling
him they're mates. Not that Derek believed it would be that difficult since
Stiles was longing for him as well. But Derek never had to, or wanted to for
that matter, make someone want him before. Paige had fallen for him without
Derek doing anything to make it happen really and Kate. Well, Kate made him
fall for her instead, and after that, Derek never wanted to be with someone
else ever again. Then he thought, why didn't the pull started when they were
younger, that would be much easier. Although, with the age difference maybe
that would be somewhat awkward. Derek could remember a few things when they
were younger. Stiles was always running after him, demanding attention. Yes,
cause Stiles didn't ask for it, he demanded. Derek laughed to himself, and he
could see some people looking at him strangely, but he didn't care, the memory
warmed him up. What was strange though, Derek didn't have much patience with
other kids, not even his little sister and Stiles was a handful. But he
actually liked spending time with the kid, so maybe the pull was working after
all, and Derek was too young to notice. Derek then decided to ask Stiles what
the boy remembered from their childhood, and show Stiles how they were always
meant to be.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Derek got home, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter and started to
separate what they will need first. He didn't stay long at the store, so Stiles
hadn't got to his house yet, but Derek sent a text to Stiles letting the boy
know he was already home. He was eager to see Stiles, but he managed to stay
calm, preparing everything for them. Derek was still in the kitchen when Erica
opened the door for Stiles. He could hear them making small talk, but Stiles
didn't feel like it, so Derek went to them. As he approached, Stiles gave him a
sad smile making him frown a bit, cause although Derek could feel that Stiles
was happy to see him, the boy was also sad with something else. But felt as if
he couldn't separate his emotions from the boy's just yet, and he got a little
sad as well.
"Hey." The boy said walking towards Derek, who was closer to the kitchen.
"Hi, come on." He said with a smile and motioned for Stiles to follow him into
the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Derek asked Stiles what was wrong, but the boy didn't feel like
sharing and said it was nothing. He knew it was a lie but let it go since
seemed that being there was making the boy better by the minute. Derek pointed
the potatoes to Stiles and told him to start there while he was making the
tomato sauce. Stiles was at the counter with the potatoes and Derek by his side
mixing some ingredients to make the sauce.
"That's a lotof potatoes! I think we should have started this earlier! I know
we have a lot of mouths to feed but Derek, this is gonna take all day!" Stiles
complained but didn't stop peel the potatoes and laughed, bumping his shoulders
on Derek's, playfully.
"If you think you can't handle the potatoes. I can always call Isaac to help."
Derek said smirking, knowing very well that, no, Stiles did not want anyone
there with them and neither did he.
"Pfft, please, like I need help to peel and chop some potatoes!" The boy said
biting the corner of his mouth.
"Maybe not to peel, but then again with your coordination, you shouldn't be the
one chopping them." The man said smugly smirking.
"Hey! I resent that! I'll have you know that I always help my mom in the
kitchen!"
Derek smiled and shook his head. They stayed like that talking with each other
side by side at the counter. Stiles was talking about the camp and how
beautiful it was there, how excited he was to spend time with his friends. The
boy had all figured out for the whole trip and was trying to convince Derek to
go. And he wanted to go, really did, but this between them, was not figured out
yet and there was Malia too. But he didn't say no, how could Derek say no to
Stiles.
########################
Stiles finished peeling the potatoes and was chopping and putting in the pan
(which was huge since the pack had sixteen people and they all ate there once a
week at least), as Derek was cleaning the counter for the second part. Stiles
knew that he hadn't shut up the whole time, talking about the trip, the end of
summer and about what he wanted to do the last year of school to prepare for
college. But Derek didn't seem to mind at all and Stiles felt very good about
it, almost forgetting about Malia and the impending break-up. The potatoes were
in boiling water, and it would take quite a while to get ready since it was a
LOT of potatoes, feeding a small army of werewolves has some downside.
"Now what?" He asked fidgeting. "You know I can't stay here doing nothing while
waiting." Stiles looked at Derek expectantly.
"We can watch a movie." The man said.
"Okay, but I choose the movie."
"You're gonna make me watch some superhero movie aren't you?" Derek said
amused.
"Well, Derek, superhero movies are the best, okay?! But I'll do you a favor,
and we're not watching one." Stiles said smirking. "Have you seen Deadpool?"
 Technically, it's not a superhero movie.
"I don't even know what that is." Derek said walking to the den since Erica and
Boyd were in the living room.
In the den, Derek sat on the couch while Stiles looked for Deadpool on Netflix.
Stiles was a little nervous cause the situation seemed like a date. Stiles
wanted Derek to think and feel the same way, and he didn't even bother trying
to hide it, not anymore. He was looking and smiling at Derek, and when he
finished with the remote, he sat beside the man almost too close. Derek didn't
seem to mind though, in fact, the man lifted his arms resting on top of the
headrest behind Stiles, and the man's arm touched slightly on his neck. The two
of them stayed that way, side by side, Stiles talking all the time about the
scenes in the movie and Derek telling Stiles to shut up because Derek actually
wanted to see the movie. Stiles was pleased that the man was enjoying the
movie, but they didn't get to finish since the dinner had to be made. Derek had
left Erica heeding the potatoes for them, so the two of them paused the movie
and got back to the dish when Erica told them the potatoes were ready. Stiles
asked Derek if they would finish the movie later and the man said they would,
Stiles got a giddy feeling he was so happy, and then the two went back to the
kitchen to prepare the rest of dinner for the pack.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The second part of dinner was making potato dough and cut them into little
pieces. The time passed with Stiles talking nonstop, as usual. As they got
closer to finishing the second part, Stiles had spread flour all over the two
of them and the floor. There was potato dough all over the floor, on their
clothes and the counter, the boy was making a mess.
Derek looked at the mess Stiles was making smirking. "What was I thinking?" The
man laughed.
"You wanted to spend time with me." He said, with his heart pounding in his
chest, cause what if Derek didn't feel the same way?
"I did." The man said smiling shyly. "Do you remember when you were a kid you
were always around me, and we would play outside, and I taught you some games."
Derek was looking at him fondly, and Stiles felt a joy that he couldn't place
it.
"Yeah, I remember. My mom wanted me to play with Erica and Cora, that's why she
always came. But I didn't wanna play with them, and you let me bug you all the
time." He said smiling, and Derek nodded getting ready for the next part of
dinner.
With the potato dough already cut, Stiles would put them into the boiling
water, Derek would take out of the pan when the dough got ready into a pyrex,
then would go with the tomato sauce in that, and finally into the oven.
"Think you can handle the boiling water?" Derek said teasing him.
"Shut up!" Stiles said, elbowing the man, but he was laughing cause he was so
damn happy.
They started that part at a good pace, Stiles was getting hungry and wanted to
finish fast. It was kinda cool he thought, making dinner with Derek while
talking all the time, about anything and nothing at the same time.
"Do you ever stop talking?" The man said but didn't sound bothered at all.
"I do, when I sleep, or when, you know." He sniggered.
"I somehow doubt that." Derek said laughing.
For a moment they stopped talking, and Derek was looking at him as if they had
all the time in the world to be there just the two of them, and Stiles felt
that this was just right. It was so easy, and it felt so right that for a
second Stiles thought that maybe he was Derek's mate instead, remembering
Allison's words. He shook it out though. Derek would have said something, he
thought, there was no way they're mates. But they liked each other didn't
matter if they weren't mates, they could still be together. "Unless Derek finds
a mate of his own. " The thought alone made Stiles sick to his stomach, making
him drop too much dough into the boiling water, which made the water poured all
over Derek's right arm and shirt. The man swore and took his shirt off dropping
on the floor, rushing to the sink to put his arm in the cold water. Stiles then
saw Derek's back, all perfectly muscled up and with a beautiful tattoo between
the shoulders blades. He knew Derek had a tattoo but never saw it and now that
he had Stiles loved and got drawn to it. Stiles walked slowly with his left
hand up to touch the tattoo, he felt the arousal coming in waves, but Stiles
couldn't control himself, he neededto touch it so badly.
########################
Derek heard Stiles' breath hitch and get heavy, at the same time the smell of
arousal slapped Derek's nose powerfully. He clenched his teeth holding back a
growl, trying to stay in place, but with the smell and Stiles urge to touch
him, was extremely difficult. Derek grounded himself at the sink, trying to
breathe shallowly but then he felt Stiles' hand on his back, right on his
tattoo, and the feeling of the boy's hand on him clouded his brain, making him
shuddered. Derek grabbed the boy's wrist tightly, turning around to face the
boy and he could feel his eyes glowing red with lust. The boy's eyes widened,
and he stepped back, but Stiles couldn't go further since they were between the
sink and counter, Stiles stopped with his back at the latter, and Derek
couldn't help but get closer to him, pressing the boy further into the
furniture.
Stiles’ heart was loudly in Derek's ears deafening him from everything else he
might hear. The boy was at the same time aroused and afraid, but the fear
wasn't of Derek. No, Stiles was afraid of what they might do, cause, their
bodies were touching, the two of them could feel their hard-on, Derek had
Stiles' left wrist trapped in his right hand whilst the other hand was
clutching the counter not to touch the boy any further, because Derek didn't
know how long could hold himself back. Derek could see the boy's chest moving
with heavy breathing and Stiles had his mouth slightly open. It would be so
easy just take what he wanted, but Derek cannot do that to Malia. So, instead,
he said to Stiles.
"Stop it, please." Derek's voice was hoarse, as he pleaded.
"Derek, I…" Stiles' voice was breaking, and he watched Stiles' throat moving as
the boy swallowed. Derek could feel how desperate the boy was, to be fair, so
was he.
A growl escaped his mouth through his clenched teeth as Derek looked at Stiles'
eyes with piercing red eyes. He held back his breathing and said. "I can't
control myself for much longer, please."
Stiles closed his eyes and frowned like he was thinking about something and
Derek could hear the boy's heart even faster at that moment, and before he
could say something, the boy's feelings changed into something, wishful and
pissed off.
"I am your mate, aren't I, Derek?" Stiles said as he opened his eyes frowning
and pushing Derek off him. The boy was more pissed off than anything else.
Derek widened his eyes stepping back, heart pounding in fear. He didn't answer,
just looked at Stiles in shock. "Aren't I Derek? Answer me!" And Stiles was
getting more pissed by the minute.
"Yes." He said but couldn't think of anything else to tell Stiles he knew the
situation was bad enough.
"How long have you known?" Stiles was determined to know everything and Derek
couldn't run from it anymore, so he breathed out and braced himself for Stiles'
questions.
"Since I came back from college." He answered, leaning his back on the sink
facing Stiles. The boy raised his eyebrows in disbelief, making Derek's heart
tightened.
"That's over a month, and you didn't tell me. You didn't want me. You let me
date your own cousin." The boy said looking down, Derek panicked feeling how
devastated Stiles got.
"Stiles..." He started, but Stiles spoke again.
"No! Why? Why didn't you want me? Why didn't you tell me? Am I that bad that
you don't want your own mate, Derek?" Derek could feel that Stiles was holding
back tears.
"Because I never wanted a mate, Stiles! It wasn't you!" He blurted out.
"Well then, it settles things." Stiles turned his back to Derek as to walk
away.
"Stiles." Derek tried again, and the boy looked back at him.
"What are you doing with me then? Spending time with me, letting me go to the
game with you, calling me in the middle of the freakingnight, cockblocking me I
might add!" Stiles laughed in disbelief making Derek flinch. "Asking me to help
you with dinner?! Huh?" He felt the anger and sadness rolling off of Stiles.
The boy wasn't talking low any longer, but he could not tell Stiles to keep his
voice down without making Stiles madder.
"I was trying to get close to you! Be your friend!" Every time Derek opened his
mouth got worst, and he began to be afraid of saying something.
"Right." Stiles laughed nervously. "Friend. Well, you don't have to worry about
that, we arefriends Derek!" With that, Stiles was indeed walking away.
"That's not what…" Derek said grabbing Stiles' arm to stop him.
"Get your hands off of me!" The boy yelled.
"Where are you going?" He asked, voice pleading.
"To my GIRLFRIEND'S house!" Stiles screamed as he walked away through the back
door, slamming it shut.
When Derek looked back at the unfinished dinner, Erica and Boyd were at the
kitchen door looking at him with wide eyes. Erica then walked towards Derek and
hugged him tightly, he reciprocated burying his nose in her hair and inhaling
deeply his beta scent.
"I'm okay." He said to them. "It's okay I will figure it out." Derek was the
Alpha now he couldn't show weakness to his betas. "Can you two clean this up
for me? I'll tell my mother to order takeout for us." He said to them, then
walked by Erica, towards Boyd and squeezed the shoulder of Erica's boyfriend in
reassurance before he left the two of them in the kitchen.
########################
Stiles was so pissed off, that asshole was leading him on to nothing. "What the
hell is that!" He thought walking to his girlfriend's house. Malia probably
lied to him so they could be together. Really, why was this happening to him?
He had a mate that didn't want him, and a girlfriend who lied to him to be with
him, this was fucked up. Stiles got to his girlfriend's house, and she opened
the door for him, frowning. He entered the house and looked around to see if
Peter's there, Stiles couldn't yell at Malia with her father there, Peter would
murder him on the spot.
Peter's house was little and cozy, the living room had a big TV on the middle
wall with a brown leather couch in front of it, a bookshelf on the far corner
with an armchair beside the shelf. The right side of the living room had two
doors one for Malia's bedroom and another for Peter, both ensuites, the left
side had the door leading to the kitchen.
"Your father's home?" He asked harshly.
"No, he's at New York in a conference. What's wrong?" Malia asked, concerned as
she closed the door.
"You lied to me, that's what's wrong. Why would you do that?" He asked, but she
looked at him confused.
"What are you talking about? I never lied to you." Malia said walking towards
him but stopped, seeing Stiles stepping back so that she couldn't get closer to
him.
"About me being your mate! You know I am not your mate!" He said almost
yelling, and she gave another step back with her mouth hanging open, looking
like Stiles slapped her in the face.
"Why are you saying that? You are my mate! I love you! Stop saying that!" Malia
said, her eyes going red with tears.
Stiles looked at her and could see Malia was so in love with him that truly
believed they're mates. His heart tightened with her devastated face and the
anger he was feeling slipped away. He tried to hold on to it, cause Stiles knew
if he stopped being angry he would be just like she was, devastated. She walked
to him, and Stiles couldn't yell at her anymore, the girl didn't know about him
and Derek.
"I'm sorry." He said, stepping back again. "I don't love you. I should have
been feeling the pull too, Mal. I'm not. We are not mates." At his words, Malia
started crying Stiles had to hold back the urge he felt to hug her. Stiles was
feeling like the worst person in the world, but couldn't allow himself to break
down, not then and especially not there. "I'm sorry." He said again, walking
away from her.
Stiles couldn't get back to the Hale house, everybody was already there waiting
for dinner, and he could not face Derek again, so he jumped into the Jeep and
drove away.
########################
Derek was so frustrated with himself. "How could I let things get this screwed
up?! " He knew the boy was quite mad at him, could even feel the anger boiling
inside him as if was eating him up from inside out. At least, he could start to
distinguish their feelings, because Derek was not angry, not even slightly and
for a moment he managed to push the anger aside, but the emotion was still
clouding his judgment which made him fucked up things even more with Stiles'
questions. After Stiles left, Derek talked with his mother but didn't tell her
everything just that they fought and Stiles went to Malia's. Talia went to see
what the pack wanted to order for dinner and left Derek in his bedroom. Later
when his mother knocked on his door calling him for dinner, Derek was still
there curled up in his bed like a little kid moping their fight. He got up and
dragged his body to the table, there was everyone, but Malia and Stiles. He
thought that the boy had decided he didn't want Derek after all and stayed with
his girlfriend. " She probably hates me right now, fuck."
"Where's Stiles?" Claudia asked, from her seat next to him.
"Went to Malia's house, probably still there."
"Didn't you heard, Derek? They broke up, she's crying for almost an hour in her
house!" Cora said.
"I was in my room Cora I can't hear anything from there, you know that." He
said getting up towards the back door.
He heard Claudia calling Stiles to know where her son was. The boy was at home
and said that wasn't feeling well to attend dinner so went home. Stiles' voice
was slightly better, so Derek thought Malia needed her Alpha more at that
moment and he went to see the girl first.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Derek found Malia curled up on her couch with the TV on but she wasn't
watching. The girl's face was red and had dried tears all over the cheeks, her
eyes were closed, and she was sobbing lightly. "That's all my fault, damn it."
He thought, getting closer and kneeling in front of her.
"Hey baby girl, come here, talk to me." She opened her eyes and launched
herself at him, hugging him and crying again.
"Stiles said I lied to him!" Malia said between sobs. "That he's not my mate!"
She clutched his shirt with her hands and buried her face in his chest.
"I know you didn't, look at me." Her Alpha said cupping her cheeks. Malia
looked at Derek tears rolling from her eyes. "What's your wolf telling you? Can
you listen to him for me? Just breathe, come on." He flashed red eyes at her as
to reassure her it was okay and she mirrored him breathing deep. Malia stared
at her Alpha for a few seconds with her blue eyes and the tears stopped. Derek
smiled at her, brushing his thumbs on both her cheeks. She looked confused, but
her eyes got back to his normal dark brown.
"It's… It's telling me that Stiles is right." She said still looking at him
confused.
Derek nodded. "You're just too young and has let your human side suppress your
wolf. It happens." He kissed her forehead and continued. "Think you can come to
dinner? Stiles' not there."
########################
Stiles was sitting on his bed with his back against the headboard, laptop on
his lap watching a movie. But he wasn't actually paying attention, no, Stiles
was thinking about Derek. Because even when mad at the man Stiles couldn't help
but want Derek and what was even worse was that Derek knew they were mates for
over a month, but didn't want Stiles. "I never wanted a mate It's not you." The
man had said, but what came out of Derek's mouth earlier that day didn't suit
all of his actions towards Stiles. Especially when Derek pressed Stiles onto
the counter, and he was pretty sure he felt the man's cock hard on him just as
his own was. He sighed "Maybe Derek will change his mind. Yeah, definitely."
And when that happens, Stiles would make the man work for it. He smiled at that
thought, and for a moment, he was okay. Then he heard a noise on his window.
Stiles was ready to tell Scott everything, so he put his laptop aside and
looked in the direction of his window, but wasn't Scott there and he froze on
the spot. Derek was standing there, looking back at him.
"Is this a werewolf thing? You people just can't use the front door?" Stiles
said, irritated.
"I need to talk to you, and you wouldn't open the front door for me." The man
said, looking at the ground.
"Damn right I wouldn't! Leave me alone Derek, go away. I don't wanna hear it."
He said, closing his eyes and leaning his head back.
"When I said I never wanted a mate, I was telling the truth, but..." The man
started to speak, and Stiles got pissed again. What now, Derek came into his
own house to say he didn't want his mate, what was that?
"Are you kidding me?! Get out, Derek! I don't wanna hear why you don't want me!
Just get out!" Stiles said, getting up and pushing Derek towards the window.
But Derek didn't let himself be pushed and grabbed both Stiles' wrist holding
him in place. "That's not what I'm saying, Stiles. I do want you! I want you so
much that when I heard Malia telling you she was your mate, I freaked the hell
out and ran away like a stupid teenager!"
Stiles looked at Derek with wide eyes, his mouth hanging open. His heart
started beating so fast, making him feel like a little girl. "That's what
happened that morning. So that means, my mother knows we're mates!"
"Don't be mad at her I told her not to tell you. I wanted to do things my way."
The man said releasing Stiles' wrists.
"Good job right there!" He said, laughing sarcastically.
"Okay, I deserved that." Derek was saying.
"Damn right you did! You let me think you hated me! Why would you do that?"
"I never hated you, but when I discovered you were my mate, I did try to fight
it because I didn't want a mate at all." The man said looking heartbroken.
Stiles sat at the edge of his bed and said. "Well, why did you change your
mind? Actually, did you change your mind? You said you want me, but that
doesn't mean you want me as your mate. You could just want to…"
"Can you just let me talk and shut up for a couple of minutes?" The man said,
annoyed.
"Fine! You better tell me everything, Derek!" He said, throwing his arm up.
"Talk!"
Derek sat beside him on the bed with his arms hanging between his legs and
sighed. "I'm gonna start from the beginning. I only had two girlfriends in my
entire life, and it was when I was young. The first one, Paige, died from the
bite."
Stiles listened as Derek told him all about his first girlfriend, who the man's
mother didn't want to give the bite because there was a chance that the bite
didn't take leading to certain death, 30% chance in young healthy people, 50%
in old and/or unhealthy and 10% for a mated person. But even knowing that Paige
wanted the bite to be with Derek, cause her parents didn't want her with a
werewolf. Peter arranged for an Alpha from another pack to bite Paige, and she
died in Derek's arms. Stiles then tried to comfort the man saying that wasn't
Derek's fault, he was too young, and Peter shouldn't have done that. He got
closer and grabbed Derek's left hand, intertwining their fingers, the man
looked at him with a sad smile but seemed a little better. Derek then sighed
and started talking again, about Kate and the fire. The man told Stiles that
Kate was his girlfriend, but no one knew because she was older than him, Derek
was young and vulnerable because Paige had just died less than a month before
the man met Kate and he fell in love with Kate really quickly.
"How much older?" Stiles asked, cause he was five years younger than Derek and
it wasn't like they were thinking about hiding, even Stiles' mother was okay
with that.
"I was fifteen, and Kate was twenty-five." The man said, and Stiles held back
his anger towards her.
"That's ten years, and you were just fifteen." He said, frowning.
"I wasn't that young, and she didn't really force me… I thought Kate was my
mate, Stiles, just like Malia did with you."
Stiles frowned intensely but didn't say anything to let Derek continue. The man
told him more about his relationship with Kate, and Stiles thought Derek was
kind of blind about all of that. Kate was definitely manipulative and
aggressive, but the man kept saying he knew what he was doing. Which Stiles
thought was a defense mechanism, cause Derek didn't seem able to handle the
truth. Kate had set the Hale house on fire with the man's family inside a week
after Derek refused to do the mating ceremony with her, and Derek carried the
guilt inside him ever since. The anger Stiles was feeling towards the man
didn't exist anymore, how could he not understand why Derek was afraid of
falling in love again. If only Stiles could have known before, he wouldn't let
Derek fight it, and they would be already together.
"It wasn't your fault Der, you were too young, and she was an adult, a crazy
adult for that matter." He said with his right hand cupping Derek's jaw, so he
could look into his eyes. The man leaned his forehead on Stiles', making
Stiles' heart skip a beat.
Stiles closed his eyes, his breathing heavy and he couldn't help it. He leaned
his head to kiss Derek, just touching the man's lips with his own, but Derek
chased his lips, kissing Stiles' bottom lip and he opened his mouth in
response. Derek slid his tongue inside Stiles' mouth, deepening the kiss and
the kiss became desperate. Derek gripped Stiles' hip and leaned to make him lay
down on the bed getting half on top of Stiles. Stiles clutched Derek's neck and
back as he felt the man's thigh between his legs, pressing into his crotch and
he moaned into Derek's mouth, feeling the man's cock hard on him. Derek left
Stiles' mouth to kiss and nip his jaw and neck while rubbing his cock and thigh
on Stiles. The boy moaned buckling up to find more friction on Derek, ripping
out a low growl from the man and Derek bit hard on his collarbone. Stiles could
feel the skin breaking, a jolt of arousal ran through the bite into his dick,
and he groaned saying the man's name desperately, feeling light-headed and lost
under Derek. His dick was impossibly hard Stiles thought it wouldn't take much
longer till he came in his pants. But then Derek abruptly stopped getting up
from Stiles and sitting awkwardly on the desk chair.

See the end of the chapter for notes
Stiles got up on his elbows and said. "What is it? Did I do something wrong?"
The boy looked nervous. Derek was sitting at the chair leaning forward with his
elbows on his thighs.
"No, I… We should talk." He said also nervous.
The boy rolled his eyes slumping back on the bed. "Noo, I'm done talking, I
want you all over me Derek! Right now!"
Derek chuckled at that he could feel just how much Stiles wanted him. And that
was kind of the problem, cause he still couldn't separate their feelings
accurately, exceptionally when it was something mutual, like want and arousal.
Derek was feeling double the pleasure, which made him almost come in his pants.
The minute that happened, he felt his knot coming, Derek knew he had a knot,
but to actually feel it happening and liking it he wasn't expecting and that
freaked him out. He also didn't know how to tell Stiles, cause things barely
started to be okay and he couldn't dump that on Stiles so soon.
"We should slow down. You're seventeen." He said, also to himself remembering
Stiles' father was the Sheriff.
"So? My mother already knows and want us together, believe me, she was always
insinuating you to me." Stiles said sitting up on the bed with a wink.
"That doesn't mean she's okay with me having sex with her underage son." The
boy snorted at that. "Do you even know what really means to be my mate?"
Stiles tensed up, and Derek could feel the uncertainty and scare coming from
Stiles. That wasn't the reaction he was expecting, and Derek caught himself
thinking that he shouldn't have started with that talk just yet. He knew humans
saw and felt differently about all of that, sometimes was too much for them,
especially at that age.
"Can we not talk about this right now? I'm not ready for the marriage talk just
yet Der. It's too much and we just started this thing." Stiles said getting up
and walking towards Derek.
"I'm sorry." He said nervously. Derek didn't know what he would do if Stiles
rejected him and that was why he wanted to tell the boy they were mates only
after dating for a while. Now he just wanted to change the subject fast to stop
this feeling.
"Stop apologizing and kiss me, Derek." Stiles said sitting on Derek's lap
sideways and kissing him again.
The boy wrapped his arms around Derek's neck kissing him hard and urgent he
complied holding into Stiles' hip with his left hand, while traveling the boy's
torso under the shirt with his right one, feeling the boy's skin under his
hand. He found Stiles' nipples and caressed with his thumb, the feeling of the
boy's rigid nipple and the heady breath of Stiles into his mouth made him
impossibly hard. Derek felt the boy's arousal like it was his own and when
Stiles took his shirt off, he couldn't find it in him to stop it. No, he leaned
his head to kiss and lap the boy's nipples and the little moans that left
Stiles' mouth was obscene. Derek couldn't get enough of it, he gripped harder
on Stiles' hips and bit his way up the boy's body. He could feel that Stiles
loved when he was a little rough, so he bit hard again on Stiles' collarbone,
the boy groaned loudly in both pain and pleasure. That was when Derek saw the
bite mark he left in that same spot when they're on the bed and Derek panicked
at the sight of a perfect wolf bite. He stopped again feeling sick to his
stomach, and for some reason, Kate came into his mind making it worse.
"God, what now?!" The boy said irritated.
Derek got them up and grabbed Stiles' hand dragging the boy to the bathroom. He
placed Stiles in front of the mirror and pointed to the bite mark, which was
all red, had a perfect canine teeth marks and the skin was grazed up, not to
mention the fingers marks on Stiles' hips.
"I could have..." Derek started to say, but Stiles interrupted him.
"There's no blood Derek I'm not gonna transform, right? It isn't a big deal,
and I liked it." The boy laughed and fisted his hands on Derek's shirt pulling
him close smirking. "I think you know just how much I liked it."
Not that Derek was concerned about the blood anyway since wasn't that simple to
turn someone into a werewolf. And if Derek could be honest, he actually, not
only liked to see Stiles marked with his bite but wanted to mark up all over
Stiles body. But Derek ignored all of that and raised one eyebrow at Stiles.
He wasn't amused and grabbed Stiles wrist stepping back. "I didn't even realize
I was wolfing out." He sighed. "We can't do this I could have really hurt you."
Derek said looking guilty.
"You're not gonna hurt me, I trust you!" The boy said.
"You shouldn't." He said living the bathroom, and Stiles followed him to the
bedroom.
"Why not? Are you afraid of turning me by mistake?"
Derek took Stiles shirt from the ground and handed it to him. "Put this back
on, please." He said, and the boy huffed rolling his eyes but complied. "And
no, even If I had drawn blood it wouldn't turn you, I would need to be in my
Alpha form to do so."
"I didn't know that. What is it then? Cause I know you wouldn't hurt me, I know
you, Derek." The boy said, expectantly.
Derek scratched his forehead sighing deeply. Stiles wouldn't let that go, so he
braced himself. "I can feel what you're feeling when I'm near you since the
last full moon."
"Wow, that's an invasion of privacy. I feel violated." Stiles was surprised but
not that displeased.
Derek ignored him. "At first I thought it was just at the full moon, but it
intensified since I became Alpha and now is a constant thing and I'm not being
able to separate my feelings from yours, especially when we're feeling the same
thing."
"Okay, that's kinda creepy, but I don't see the problem." Stiles said getting
closer to Derek again.
"The problem is, I'm out of control because of this. I'm a werewolf Stiles we
are aggressive creatures. If I can't control myself, I might kill you." Derek
knew he was exaggerating, he wouldn't actually kill Stiles, obviously, but the
boy wasn't afraid of getting hurt.
"No, you won't." Stiles said involving his arms around Derek's waist and
looking into his eyes. "You didn't change that much. That boy I knew, would
never, even out of control, hurt me." The boy robbed a smile from Derek and
leaned to give him a chaste kiss. "Do you remember, that day I found you hidden
in the den, curled up on the couch, crying?"
Derek frowned in confusion, what's that have to do with what they were talking.
"The day of my father's funeral." Yes, Derek remembered that awful day vividly.
"Everybody got back to my house because it was Sunday, I hid in the den because
I didn't wanna see anyone. You found me, and you laid down with me. I hugged
you, and we cried together until both of us slept of exhaustion." He said with
his nose buried on Stiles' neck.
"Yeah, my mother said not to go after you, because you were lashing out at
anyone. She was afraid that maybe since I, you know, push everybody's buttons,
you would hurt me. But I went after you anyway, because I knew you wouldn't
hurt me, and you didn't."
Derek could understand what the boy was trying to say, cause he had never
trusted anyone with the details of his relationship with Kate, not even Isaac.
His cousin only knew that they were dating and that Kate was responsible for
the fire. But somehow he knew he could trust Stiles with his deepest secrets.
Derek then stared at Stiles for a few moments feeling his heart racing with
this three little words that were threatening to leave his mouth but was too
soon to say them although he could feel that Stiles was feeling the same. The
boy opened his mouth to say something, but Derek was afraid Stiles might say
those words. He wasn't ready to hear them yet, they didn't even go out on a
date. He should change that before getting this to the next level.
He interrupted Stiles before the boy could say something. "We should get back
to my house. I told the pack we all were sleeping in the den today, to settle
the bond from the ceremony."
The boy sighed in defeat. "I thought I convinced you that you're not gonna hurt
me. Derek you…"
He chuckled and interrupted the boy again. "You did Stiles. But I wanna do this
right. How about a date first?" He said amused by the boy determination.
"Fine," Stiles said trying nonchalant, but Derek could feel his excitement.
"But I can't go back to your house you didn't see the way I left Malia in her
house. She was devastated." The boy shook his head, feeling guilty and sad.
"I did, I went there to calm her down. She's better now cause she understood
what happened. But maybe... We should keep this a secret for a while." He said
with a questioning tone, so Stiles didn't think he was deciding by himself.
########################
The night at the den wasn't as bad as Stiles thought it would be, the worst
part of the night being, when he tried to talk with Scott, but his friend not
only was all over Isaac but was also kind of pissed with him about Malia and he
couldn't say anything to Scott at that moment, Malia would hear, so Stiles just
backed away. "Tomorrow I will talk with Scott." He decided. Malia was obviously
sad but didn't say anything to him. He kept his distance though, from her and
Derek, the latter being more difficult because Stiles was so happy and he
wanted to cuddle up with Derek the whole night, But the man was right, they
should keep their relationship a secret for a while, at least till Malia
started to get used to the breakup or even better finds a mate of her own.
Sometimes, before they all went to sleep, he would lose himself in his thoughts
about Derek and feel this bubbling inside his gut like nothing else he
experienced before. Stiles looked at Derek, his mate, before lying down to
sleep beside his mother and thought. " That's mine. " The man lifted his head
to look at him right then. " He can feel what I'm feeling." He wondered how
Derek felt about that and got a little shy biting his lower lip, flustered.
Stiles never thought he would be a possessive person, but when he looked at
what was his, couldn't help but feel possessive towards the man and with the
way Derek's eyes glowed red at him, Stiles knew the man liked it.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles didn't get to talk with Scott for two more days after the pack night.
Apparently, two mates took a lot of your time. Derek was working too much in
those days as well, so the two of them didn't get to see each other either,
although the man always texted him and vice versa.
They would have their first date on Friday, Derek said it was a surprise and
didn't tell Stiles what the two of them were doing, only that he would get out
of work earlier and pick up Stiles, that was why the man had more work to do.
Later on Wednesday, finally Scott came to his house, and Stiles told him
everything that happened that Sunday but left out what Derek told him about the
ex-girlfriends. His bestie understood and was happy for him. He spent the rest
of the day with Scott, catching up.
That night Derek called him and told Stiles to go to the Hale house the next
day to spend some time with Raina. The Alpha had promise Friedrich's daughter
to let her know how it was to be with others humans in a pack so she could
decide if she really wanted to be a werewolf or not. The man had recruited
Stiles and Boyd to stay the day there with Raina and the pack members who lived
there. Stiles asked Derek if Allison could come since now she would be a part
of the pack as well and she actually needed to bond with them. The man said it
was a great idea and also to tell Allison to wait there till he got home from
work cause Derek wanted to talk with the girl about her place in the pack.
Stiles was very happy with his mate's acceptance towards Allison, Stiles wanted
her to feel welcomed but was afraid since Allison's Kate's niece that the man
would reject her. They talk on the phone a little but the man had to hang up to
sleep.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles and Allison spent all day at the Hale house with Raina, Cora, and Erica.
Boyd only stay a while cause he had to work. Sometime during the day, Cora
asked them to play catch the flag.
"There's five of us we can't play catch the flag." He said.
"Sure we can, Erica and me against the three of you. We can change the rules a
bit." Cora said.
"That won't be fair we're gonna win too fast." Stiles said smirking.
"Please, we're werewolves against three humans." She said smugly.
Cora didn't know Allison was stronger and faster than she realized, due to her
training lessons to be a SID agent. Raina probably was too, since she lived
with werewolves all her life. Three of them against two, and it wasn't as if
just strength that mattered in that game and Stiles was a great strategist. "I
don't know I think you're underestimating us. Maybe we should make a bet." Cora
laughed like he was crazy to think they could win. "If we win, you two have to
do something for us and vice versa. What do you think?"
Obviously, Cora was eager to accept the bet, she was sure the werewolves would
win, and wanted nothing more to make the humans do something really nasty,
Stiles didn't mind losing he just wanted to push her buttons. The humans won,
though, but unfortunately, Raina's father came to pick her up before they could
decide what Cora and Erica would have to do.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
It was night already, and Stiles was in the living room at the Hale house with
Allison watching a TV show when Derek entered the house with his mother. The
man had a tired and stressed face but when their eyes met from across the room
Derek smiled broadly at Stiles, and he had to fight the urge to run and wrap
his arms around Derek in a tight hug since they decided to keep the
relationship a secret for awhile.
"Hi, the girls made dinner, we're waiting for you guys to eat."
"Hi. Stiles, Allison." The man bowed his head formally to them.
"Cora and Erica?" Talia said, with a disbelief expression.
"Yeeah." He scratched his head. "They lost a bet, so I made them do the
dinner." Stiles smirked suppressing a laugh. He knew just how much Cora hated
cooking.
"Well, you should come more often Stiles. Let's eat then." The former Alpha
said, walking to the kitchen.
Stiles allowed Talia and Allison go first and grabbed Derek hands a bit as they
walked to the kitchen, untangling them at the kitchen door. Allison sat beside
the man, and for his misfortune, Cora sat by his side and kept bickering with
him the whole time pissed to had lost the bet. After dinner, Derek talked with
Allison about her being in the pack, how she felt about it and the bonding
ritual they would have to do. The man was concerned about her family and if the
rate of their pack bond was to fast for her since Allison has never been in one
of the pack nights before the last one and had never interacted with a pack
like that. It was very endearing how Derek was making this all about Allison
and her needs it was like Derek was born to be an Alpha. "Well, he did
actually, hence the tattoo." He laughed to himself. Allison assured their Alpha
that she always wanted to be a part of Scott's pack and was thrilled. The
girl's parents didn't like the idea very much but respected her decision
knowing that mates were a big deal and their daughter had two in the pack.
########################
Derek left the law office in a hurry he was late to pick up Stiles for their
date. The day at work had been busier than expected and he had to run to his
house to prepare their things to leave at the place he had chosen before
picking up the boy. Fortunately, when he was rushing into his shift to his
Alpha form, he accidentally full shifted into a wolf. Derek ran faster than he
ever did before, feeling the wind into his thick fur, his paws digging into the
earth each time he touched the ground. Derek was amazed, he never thought would
be so satisfying to run full shifted, he felt connected with the nature and the
animals around him, even stopped briefly to sniff at the flowers and playfully
hunted a rabbit. He didn't catch the rabbit, just played with the little animal
for a while before running back to his house to climb the Camaro and go to his
mate's.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"You're late." The boy said, feigning an annoyed face but launched himself into
Derek's arms. "I missed you."
"Me too." He said, hugging Stiles in return, clutching the boy's back with one
hand and the neck with the other, scent marking Stiles with his cheeks.
"Where are you taking me? If it's a restaurant, it better has curly fries!"
Stiles said getting into the Camaro.
"It's not we're going to a place in the woods that I like."
"Cool, I love it there." The boy said, putting his seat belt.
"I know." Derek said looking at his mate fondly, who reciprocate the gesture.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Derek parked the Camaro far into the woods as possible since Stiles wasn't a
werewolf and the place was too deep in the woods, but they would have to go by
foot the rest of the path. He exited the Camaro closing the door, and as Stiles
did the same, the boy looked around frowning.
"Are we here? Doesn't look that nice to me, I mean I thought you would bring me
to a romantic place or something."
"No, but we can't go by car." He said ignoring the boy's smart-ass remark.
They walked hand in hand and as the minutes passed Stiles would ask if they
would get there already. Derek just laughed and shaking his head "We're almost
there." he had said. They had to climb a large path, and the boy stumbled a
lot, so Derek had to wrap his arm around Stiles' waist to not let the boy fall
and hurt himself.
"Isn't this a little too further into the woods? I mean, there are wild animals
here, like a coyote, mountain lions, and stuff." The boy said as they get to
the top of the little mountain.
"Stiles, I'm a werewolf, an Alpha. I think I can handle a mountain lion."
"And stuff," Stiles said pointing a finger at Derek.
"I don't think there's any wild animal that I can't handle." Derek said amused.
"Okay, mister I'm a badass Alpha. If a vicious wild animal attacks us and kills
me, it's your fault. And I'm gonna get back from the dead and haunt you for the
rest of your wolfy life for letting me die a virgin!"
Derek stopped with a halt, and the boy looked up at him with an eyebrow raised.
"What?" His mate said.
He couldn't hide the surprised face he was displaying, he knew Stiles didn't
have sex with Malia cause Derek would have felt it, but he just assumed that
Stiles had other girlfriends or boyfriends before Malia. Not that Derek didn't
like to hear that, just the thought of his mate being intimate only with him
for the rest of their lives was very appealing to Derek. If Stiles wanted to be
with him for the rest of their lives that is. But Stiles was seventeen, and at
that age, Derek had already been with three girls and one guy.
"I just assumed you weren't." He said, a little nervous.
"What? A virgin? Is that a problem?" The boy said, and Derek could hear Stiles'
heartbeat fastening with fear.
"No, of course not. I was just surprised." He smiled at his mate pulling him
closer for a brief kiss. "Trust me I can handle any wild animal that comes our
way. Come on we have a lot to go on yet."
########################
Stiles felt Derek's hands slip out of his fingers, his mate had a shy smile and
motioned to the clearing they had arrived waiting for Stiles' reaction. He took
in the scene, tiny flowers everywhere like a carpet that covered the ground all
around them minus a path between the yellow field that led to a river, the
latter had the clearest water Stiles had ever seen. Across the river had a
small cave, to cross the water flow you just needed to walk above some kind of
rock path, seemed naturally made by nature, the rocks were perfectly aligned
into a curved line from the beginning of the water till the cave entrance. The
place was indeed quite beautiful and romantic.
Getting close to the shore Stiles saw some picnic stuff inside the cave. "Is
that for us?" He asked speechlessly, damn, Derek knew what he was doing.
"Yes, I brought here before picking you up. What do you think?" The man asked,
beside him and he turned to look into the man's green eyes with his heart
racing like crazy.
"It's beautiful Der, I loved." Stiles said grabbing Derek's hand intertwining
their fingers. "Is there food? I'm starving."
"Yes." Derek said, leading him to the cave through the rocks without taking the
hand from his.
Inside the cave was small but nice and warm, he could hear the watercourse's
sound and all of the noise from the woods and wind that Stiles loved so much,
it was very peaceful. Stiles wanted to lay down on the flower's carpet, so when
they finished eating, he grabbed Derek and went back to the clearing. The two
of them laid together on the flowers until the sun was disappearing and the
daylights were fading into dark.
########################
Getting late, Derek sat up and said. "We should go, it's getting dark, and we
have to walk back."
"This was perfect, Der. I really loved." The boy said sitting up and leaning to
kiss him.
The kiss was chaste at first, but as Derek pulled the boy's neck to kiss him
properly, Stiles got on his knees and up to Derek's lap, straddling him and
deepening the kiss. He gripped Stiles' hips kissing him hard the boy was
fisting his right hand in Derek's hair and clutching his biceps with the other.
He bit his mate's bottom lip, pulling Stiles' lip between his teeth and the boy
moaned a little with the action. They looked into each other's eyes, breath a
little heavy then Derek kissed his mate again, slowly this time, feeling every
inch of Stiles' mouth and tongue. He lost himself in the feeling of his mate on
his lap, kissing him and feeling his body under his hands, Derek wanted to feel
more of Stiles' body, they had too many clothes for this. Derek found himself
pulling out his mate's shirt and dropping it to the ground. Stiles smirked at
him and leaned to kiss Derek's neck, pulling his shirt as well. Stiles looked
at Derek's chest with lust in his eyes the boy scratched Derek's body with his
fingernails looking at his torso lustfully. The sight of his mate's flowing
desire for him made Derek's dick twitch desperately under his clothes, he
grabbed his mate hard and switched their position pushing the boy into the
ground and climbing on top of him. As he rubbed their cock together and sucked
a bruise on Stiles' neck, "Derek." the boy said panting. The sound of his
mate's voice desperately calling him made him growl with lust and passion. The
boy shuddered as Derek bit his way down his mate's body, leaving bite marks all
over Stiles' chest and belly. He looked up at Stiles and asked with a hand on
the boy's fly. "Can I?" Derek knew his eyes were glowing red with want and he
was practically salivating at the thought of Stiles' dick in his mouth. But the
boy didn't care, if anything Stiles liked it. "Fuck yes!"
Derek opened his mate's pants, and when he pushed it a little down, Stiles'
dick popped up, and it was beautiful. Derek grabbed his mate's flushed cock and
licked from the base to the pink head, closing his mouth around the head
sucking it gently. He teased the boy, lapping the head of his dick a little
before going all the way down with his mate's cock inside his mouth, feeling
the head of Stiles' dick brushing his throat, making the boys groan in
pleasure. He bobbed his head up and down the length of Stiles' dick, going all
the way down each time. "Fuck Derek." He felt the boy trembling under him, and
he moaned with the boy's dick inside his mouth, feeling both the boy and his
orgasm coming. His knot began to surface, but he didn't stop, the feeling of
Stiles trembling body was too good. "Fuck Derek I'm gonna..." That was just
what he needed. Derek then quickened his pace with the boy's dick desperately,
making both of them come. He swallowed all the cum in his mouth and wiped his
mouth to kiss Stiles.
The boy smiled and said. "Fuck that was amazing! My turn!"
"No!" Derek said a little too loud.
"You don't want me to?" Stiles frowned in confusion.
"It's not that. Fuck." He said hiding his face. "I have to talk to you about
something."
"Oh my God, again? I never thought I would make Derek Hale talk so much. I just
thought, 'my mate will want to do me all day' but instead, you want to talk.
Guess I was wrong, I transformed Derek Hale into a talking slut."
"You're an idiot." Derek leaned to give Stiles a chaste kiss. He looked at the
boy and just couldn't make the words come out of his mouth. It was so
difficult, how could he say 'Hey Stiles, you know knotting right? Well, I have
one, what do you think?'. Why was this his life, nothing came easy for Derek.
"Are you gonna talk or keep staring at me?" The boy said frowning.
”Sorry, this is difficult.” Derek just could not say, so instead, he said. ”I
hm... Could feel you like it was me so already finished.”
"Ooh!" The boy said. "Okay, next time then?"

***** Ten *****
"Sorry, this is difficult." Stiles watched as Derek said that, sitting in front
of him. "I hm.. Could feel you like it was me, so I already finished."
"Ooh!" He said. "Okay, next time then?"
"Yes." The man said, but his face said something else entirely.
"You're hiding something from me." Stiles said as he looked at the man before
him. Derek was sitting with his knees folded on his chest and arms around it,
looking a little pale. "Are you okay?" Maybe Derek regretted what happened,
maybe coming against his own volition made the man remember Kate, and that's
why Derek said it was difficult for him to say that he had come too. The
thought alone made Stiles sick, and he couldn't push it. If Derek didn't wanna
talk about it, then Stiles won't.
"I just need a few more minutes, and we can go." Derek said without looking at
him. His mate was afraid of something, Stiles could tell.
"What is it, babe? Tell me you're freaking me out." He said getting nervous as
hell.
"I'm okay. Babe?" The man said smiling a little.
Stiles blushed, he didn't even realize what was saying. But they're mates it
wasn't a big deal right? "Is that okay? If you don't like it, I can just…"
Derek reached for Stiles' cheeks with his hands and pulled him into a kiss,
saying between kisses. "It's more than okay. I like that sound of that. Babe."
And there it was again that indescribable feeling bubbling in Stiles' gut.
"Stop it you're making me feel something in my stomach. it's crazy." He said
blushing.
"Butterflies?" Derek sniggered.
"Butterflies?" Stiles said, amused shaking his head. "More like the whole damn
zoo!" He laughed loudly.
"I'm dating a dork!" The man laughed with him.
"Shut up I'm your perfect match!" He said blushing more.
"Are you now?" Derek sounded amused.
"Yes, it's what mates are, babe, didn't you know?" He teased. "I googled it."
Stiles was feeling very proud of himself.
"Did you also googled True mates? Cause that's what we really are." The man's
smile vanished as Stiles' eyes widen with his mouth parted.
Stiles couldn't react at that, he knew what it meant, and he was happy about
it, he really was, but the fear of that implication clouded his head, and they
just stayed in silence for a few moments. Derek got paler and started to shift
uncomfortably in front of Stiles.
"I know you don't wanna talk about it, I just. I felt like I should tell you."
The man said, still holding onto his knees.
Then Stiles thought. If they're true mates, soulmates even, why didn't he know
sooner? Felt different? He took over a month to discover Derek was his mate!
Wasn't he supposed to know? He read that soulmates always find each other, but
what if he allowed himself be with Malia and settled with her, cause clearly,
Derek wasn't going to do anything about it. Not that Stiles blamed the man,
knowing everything his mate gone through, it was perfectly understandable
Derek's hesitation.
"Why didn't I feel it then? I read that true mates always find each other,
isn't that true?" He finally said something after a few minutes.
"Didn't you? I thought that's why you figure out." The man said, confused.
Stiles huffed in frustration. "I was feeling something, yes. But I only figured
out because of some things Allison told me and your behavior that day.
Otherwise, I just thought..." He sighed deeply. "I thought I just had a crush
and since Malia was my mate, that I would just forget about you eventually."
"Maybe because I was fighting it and you're human."
"You don't get it, do you? I was accepting that Malia was my mate!" Stiles
said, irritated.
"I'm sorry, that was my fault, I should have done something earlier."
"That's not the point!" He said, a little too loud.
Stiles was frustrated. He wanted to feel the pull and everything that Derek
felt when he found out about them being mates. But he was human, he couldn't
have it, and because of that they almost lost each other. Stiles closed his
eyes and laid down on the ground sighing again.
"Just… Just hold me okay?" He said, eyes closed.
The man adjusted himself by his mate's side, facing him. Stiles got sideways,
tucking his head on Derek's bare chest, hands touching the man's stomach. Derek
wrapped his arm around Stiles' back pulling him close and it felt like he
belonged there, in Derek's arms. They laid on the flower carpet, the night
breeze like a brush on their skin and it was so damn soothing that they drifted
to sleep.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles tried to open his eyes in the morning lights, but the sun was almost up
in the sky and blinded him, so he held a hand up to block the sun from his
face. He was still half awake and wondered what the hell was he doing in the
backyard. He felt something nuzzling on his hair, arms pulling him closer and a
voice, it was a person's body.
"Good morning." The body next to him said.
He blinked a few times and remembered, he fell asleep in the woods, in his
mate's arms. "Morning" He responded happily. Snuggling back into Derek's chest,
feeling the man's muscular arms holding him close and it was great to wake up
like that. Yeah, Stiles could get used to it. But there was a phone ringing,
annoyingly. Wasn't his phone, so Stiles didn't move, it was too good where he
was.
"Morning mom... Yes, he's with me… Fuck, I'm going." The man said into the
phone, then got up. Stiles whined in protest, but Derek ignored him. "Where's
your phone Stiles?"
He sat up, Derek was hiding the sun, so he could open his eyes properly, the
man looked at him with both eyebrows raised. He tapped his jeans and caught his
phone in the back pocket.
"My phone died." Stiles said, showing the phone to his mate.
"Stiles, your father put the deputies to look for you. We fell asleep in the
woods. We need to go, now!"
"Shit! He's going to kill me. Actually, no, he's going to kill you!" Stiles
didn't know what was worse.
"I know! Come on let's go, call him on our way." Derek said, grabbing their
stuff and handing him his shirt.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Where the hell were you? What did you do with my son?" Stiles' father said,
looking at the hickey on his son's neck, as the two entered his house.
"I'm sorry John, we lost track of time." Derek said, lowering his head.
"Lost track of time? He didn't sleep in his own bed!" John yelled angrily.
"Dad, we just fell asleep in the woods. I'm sorry, my phone died, and I didn't
get your calls."
"In the woods? What the hell were you two doing in the woods?" The sheriff said
loudly.
"We're on a date." Stiles' said, and Derek gripped his hand looking pissed.
"Guess the secret is out, for my parents at least."
The sheriff's face got red with anger, and he looked at Derek as if he wanted
to kill the man on the spot. "If you so much as think about having sex with my
son, I will arrest you!"
"John, you're overreacting, our son's almost eighteen!" Stiles' mother spoke up
getting beside her husband.
"And Derek is twenty-two! And an Alpha, he could easily coerce my son into
something he doesn't want! I don't care I don't want you two sleeping together
again!" The sheriff said pointing a finger at Derek, and the man nodded shyly.
"We didn't do anything, dad, just fell asleep, I swear!" Stiles said to his dad
nervously, clutching at Derek's hand hard enough to bruise, if the man wasn't a
werewolf. They screwed up, he knew, but couldn't let his dad push him away from
Derek.
"John, Honey, come on, you know they're mates." His mother said.
"Are you telling me that they aren't going to be mates months from now? That
they can't wait?" The sheriff said to Stiles' mother.
"You know the answer to that." She answered his dad.
"Exactly, they're going to be mates forever. And I'm telling Derek that, I do
not want him doing anything illegal with my underage son."
"I promise." Derek said right away.
"You better keep your promise! Excuse me. I gotta get to work, and tell my
deputies that my son is alive and well!" John left with his eyes narrowed at
Derek.
"I should go… We.. um.. Talk later?" Derek's face was of horror, and he just
vanished fast without even kiss Stiles goodbye.
Stiles closed the door and looked back at his mother apologetically. Then she
said. "Sweety, I know this is new, and you're in love but you have to think
before you do something stupid like that, we're worried sick! Why didn't you
tell me you're going out with Derek?"
"I'm sorry, we decided to keep it a secret for a while, for Malia's sake."
"I get it, Stiles, I really do, but you can't just go out without saying
anything and sleep away from home like that."
"I know, I'm sorry, we're coming home I swear. I just wanted to snuggle a
little, and we both slept. We really did only slept, mom." He said, trying to
sound sure of himself because honestly, it was a half-truth, they indeed fell
asleep.
"Sweetheart, I don't care if you have sex with your mate. It doesn't get more
right than that." She smiled at her son and made grabby hands towards him. "And
I do know my son if someone would coerce, wouldn't be Derek." She laughed.
"Hey! That's a horrible thing to say to your son!" He laughed, remembering the
first night they got together. "But you're right."
"Don't I know it. Come on, let's eat and you can tell me all about your date."
His mother said, dragging him to the kitchen.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Stiles had sent three messages to his mate but didn't get a reply the whole
morning and afternoon. He got anxious as the hours past thinking that Derek was
mad at him or something. Granted, he did spill the beans to his parents after
they agreed to keep it a secret and his dad went all crazy at Derek, but it
wasn't his fault, was it? When Stiles was almost deciding to pop up at the Hale
house to see Derek, Scott sent a text saying he would be there in a bit so the
two of them could hang out as usual on Saturday's when Scott wasn't with
Allison. "Or Isaac now." That was definitely better cause they hadn't hung out
a lot those days and Stiles really shouldn't be popping up on Derek's right
now.
"Hey kid, can we talk?" The sheriff appeared at his door.
He adjusted himself on the bed where he was watching a movie on his laptop, so
his dad could sit on the edge "Sure dad."
"Look, I know I overreacted. But you're my only son, and I worry about your
safety." His father said, sitting on the edge of the bed but not looking at
him.
"It's okay dad I get it." Stiles said watching his father.
They stayed in silence for a few seconds, and as Stiles started to get fidgety,
his dad rubbed his own neck sighing. "What I said about the sex thing." The
sheriff then looked up at his son, only to see Stiles grinning. "No, do not
smile, I'm not taking it back!"
"Why not? I'm almost eighteen!" He pouted, knowing that his mate fully intended
to follow the promise made to his father.
"Because you're young and I think you should wait till you're certain that this
man is what you genuinely want. Not be with him just because you're mates."
"I'm not a little girl, dad." Stiles said, rolling his eyes.
"Well, you may not be a girl, but you are my little boy." His father said,
Stiles grimaced. "I always knew that I would have to be the human brain in this
house when it comes to you. And this is me, being a human father to my human
son. Don't rush into this bond without thinking about it first. Okay?"
"What makes you believe that I didn't think about it already?" Stiles knew that
in a way, his dad was right, ever since he discovered was Derek's mate, he
didn't honestly think about what will change in his life. Stiles didn't even
talk about it with his own mate. He was just enjoying the good part of having a
mate, not that he thought will have a bad one, far from it, but there was the
serious part which Stiles didn't want to think about just yet because was a big
commitment.
"Alright then. You have time Stiles, this is your last year of school, and you
will be gone next year to college. So you might not want to be this bonded to
Derek when you go to college, did you think about that too?"
Yeah, he did not think about that either. Stiles always wanted to go to an Ivy
league college, and all of them were very far from Beacon Hills. They would
only see each other on holiday breaks. And will them be able to adapt to it?
Will Derek accept him living in another state for four years? Stiles didn't
want to think about that, maybe his dad was right, he should think about this
and talk to Derek too.
"I'll think about it, dad." He said.
"That's all I want." John kissed his forehead and left as Scott entered the
room.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Scott entered his room asking what was the Sheriff talking about and they
decided to talk about it playing a video game. He set the game up, and the two
sat on the ground like always.
"So, I went on a date with Derek yesterday, in the woods."
"I thought you're gonna tell me about your father." His friend asked.
"I'll get to my father in no time, buddy. But first, Stiles and Derek's date."
His friend laughed and allowed him to continue. "So, Derek planed all this
romantic date in the woods." Stiles told all about the woods, the little
clearing with the flower carpet, told Scott how romantic it was and how they
slept together in the flower carpet.
"You slept with him in the woods?" Scott asked a little surprised, without
taking his eyes from the TV.
"Yeah, we fell asleep. Well, after Derek gave me the best blowjob of my life!
Obviously, I needed some rest." Scott looked up at Stiles as he bobbed his
eyebrows with a grin.
"That good, huh!?" Scott said, amused then looked back at the game.
"Yeah, I can't even… Wow, dude, where's your head?!" Stiles dropped the
controller on the ground as he won the game.
He shifted sideways to face Scott and said. "What about you and your mates,
have you three done it? The three of you together, I mean. Cause I already know
about you and them separately."
"We manage some foreplay, but it's difficult to get the three of us alone."
"You need to tell me when it happens though! In details!" He said grinning at
his friend.
"Dude, you're a perv!" Scott said slapping him on the arm.
"Am not!" He stopped, thinking. "Okay, maybe I am, but you still have to tell
me, and it's not like you don't enjoy telling me, dude!"
"Whatever." His bestie said, and they laughed together.
"So, anyway. We fell asleep, and my phone died. Next thing I knew it was
daylight and my dad was crazy pissed when I got home." Then he told Scott what
his father said to Derek, and to him before he got there.
"Are you gonna wait?" Scott asked.
"Well, it's not like I have a choice in the matter now. Derek probably won't
want to have sex with me before my eighteenth birthday. Besides, my dad is
right about one thing."
"What thing?"
"I was avoiding to talk about what really means for us to be mates and what
will change in my life with it. Cause we're True mates Scott, and I have
college next year."
"Is this the one that means you're soulmates?"
"Yeah, that one." He sighed and grabbed the controller again clicking the retry
button. "You know I always wanted to go to an Ivy League college, and I have to
talk about this with Derek now."
"I don't think Derek would say you can't go." His bestie said.
"Probably not, but what if we can't manage to be apart for four years? I don't
know Scotty it's complicated."
"Yeah, thank God Allison wants to study here in Beacon Hills College with me,
and Isaac already graduated."
"Wait, we're going to an Ivy League together!" He said surprised and a little
pissed if he would be honest.
"Come on Stiles, with my grades? There's no way I'll be accepted in any Ivy
League colleges, we talked about this when we're younger, dude!"
Stiles had to bite his tongue not to yell at Scott. They had been talking about
that for years. How could Scott be so blunt about it? He was kind of hurt too,
cause Stiles always thought that he and Scott would go to college together, and
his bestie just dismissed like that. Stiles was getting madder and sadder by
the minute when his phone vibrated in his pocket. A text from Derek.
Derek:
Are you sad?
Stiles:
Look who decided to answer. Why? Are you feeling me from your house?
Derek:
I think so, but it's faint.
Stiles:
Great now I have no privacy whatsoever.
Derek:
I'm sorry I didn't answer before. I was thinking about some things. Can you
come here to my house, I have something for you.
Stiles:
What Derek? I'm with Scott.
Derek:
It's a surprise. Please?
Well, Stiles was kinda pissed with Scott anyway, so getting outta there and
getting a surprise at the same time was a good idea. Therefore, he told Scott
he had to go to Derek's, which his friend wasn't too happy about it but didn't
comment, probably smelling the hurt Stiles was feeling. Then he went to the
Hale house.
########################
A few minutes after Stiles texted Derek saying he would be there, he started to
feel more of his mate. So he walked to the front porch expecting to see Stiles
almost there since he was feeling the boy strongly now. But as Derek got to the
porch, there was nothing, not even the sound of Stiles' Jeep. He sat at the
first step of the stair and waited. Another few minutes past, he could hear the
jeep, but he knew with his Alpha hearing, that Stiles was a mile-ish way.
The link was getting quite strong, but Derek didn't allow himself to be happy
about it. His mate didn't like this invasion and Derek would have to control
it, not to invade Stiles' privacy anymore. As Derek sat there waiting he
started to practice blocking the link somehow, he wasn't doing anything anyway.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Hey" He smiled at his mate.
"Do not 'hey' me. You didn't answer my text for hours." The boy said rushing
past him into the house.
"Of course we're okay, Babe." Derek said in a very low tone. "I was just…" He
followed his mate.
"Oh, you're answering me now? Like now I don't already know it." The boy rolled
his eyes at him. "Your surprise better be good Derek."
"I don't know, but I have two. Do I get points for that?" He smirked, as he
motioned for Stiles to go to the office.
"Depends on the surprise. Am I getting laid?" His mate said, too loud for a
werewolf hearing.
Derek grabbed Stiles' arm and said by his ear. "Stiles, you're in a house full
of werewolves. I thought we decided to keep it a secret."
"Shit, do you think she heard it?" The boy said clearly concerned.
"Malia isn't here right now, but Erica might have heard. Come on." He said, and
they entered the office, with Derek closing the door after them.
"And no, you're not getting laid anytime soon. Were you there when your father
said we couldn't?" Derek said, a bit irritated with his mate.
"That's so not fair!" The boy pouted. "Well, then you get no points
whatsoever." Stiles said smirking.
"Let's see about that." He said smugly, Derek was confident that Stiles would
like his surprise.
Derek knew that his mate always wanted to read the locked up books in the
office and especially now that he discovered they're mates. He had spent the
hours prior thinking about how to tell Stiles about his knot, and there wasn't
a way that the conversation would go well, in Derek's mind at least. So, he
would make the boy happy and then tell him about it. Hopefully, Stiles wouldn't
run for the hills.
He walked to the desk and grabbed the key from the drawer while Stiles was
watching him, curiously. Derek lifted his hand to show his mate the key and
pointed with his head at the locked bookcase. The boy widened his eyes with his
mouth parted.
"Seriously? You're gonna let me read them?" Derek could feel the boy's
excitement.
"Unless you don't want to? Maybe this isn't good enough to earn points?" He
said with a serious face, opening the drawer again.
Stiles ran to him and placed himself between the desk and Derek. "I want it!
Gimme!" The boy made grabby hands at the key, but Derek lifted his hand up and
raised his eyebrows at his mate.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" He said, smiling smugly.
"Yes, you earned points for this! Now, gimme!" The boy said happily, grabbing
the key from Derek's hand.
He watched as Stiles opened the bookcase and started to rummage through the
books. His mate grabbed a few books, which Derek was pretty sure some was about
humans e some about mates. The boy sat on the ground, back leaning on the
bookcase and with the books in front of him. Derek kept himself by the desk as
he watched his mate with the books, the boy's emotions oscillated between
frustration and entertainment. It was very funny to watch his mate reading.
Stiles looked like a little boy with a brand new toy, endearing really. Of
course, his mate wouldn't read about knotting, cause that specific book Derek
had put in the drawer where the key was. He wanted Stiles to hear from him,
even if that was the last thing they do together.
"Stop staring at me, Derek. It's creepy!" The boy said, making Derek chuckle
cause Stiles didn't even take his eyes of the book to say that.
"I'm not staring I'm watching you." He walked towards his mate and sat beside
the boy on the ground.
"Same difference. It's creepy." Stiles' said, playfully bumping his shoulder on
Derek's.
"This isn't very helpful, you know. I thought I was gonna find something..."
The boy trailed off, again without taking his eyes off the book. "Enlightening
or whatever, I don't know." Stiles huffed and grabbed another book. "At least
there are lots of interesting things."
He nodded. "Sorry, You're not gonna find anything too helpful for humans. I
don't know why, but my dad has never written a journal either."
"Yeah, I noticed." Stiles kept reading while talking with Derek.
"Maybe… You could write one."
"I don't know, Der. I think I'm not the best person for this." Stiles frowned a
bit, looking at the book he had in his hands, then looked up at Derek,
smirking. "Did you actually felt a type of pain when I was…" The boy stopped
looking at him, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. "Oh my God! That's why you
called me that night at the club!"
Derek felt his cheeks heating as the embarrassment kicked in, he had totally
forgotten Stiles would read about it. Before he could say something, Stiles
spoke again.
"I'm sorry Der! Shit, I can't believe I put you through this!"
Derek was taken aback with Stiles' reaction. He thought that his mate, was
going to be pissed at him, but instead, the boy was pissed at himself. "It's
okay, it was my fault!"
"It really wasn't! Damn it, If I had felt the pull, If I had known! I hate
this." Stiles was feeling extremely frustrated, Derek could feel it.
Derek placed his arm around Stiles' shoulder, pulling the boy closer. "Hey,
come on, it's okay!"
His mate sighed into his chest. "How is it, feeling me? Do you like it? Tell me
about it."
And Derek did, told his mate all about how it first started, what he felt and
how much he loved it. Told Stiles how excited he was when he discovered the
link was getting stronger and how that was happening because their bond was
getting stronger every day.
"I have one more book about werewolf mates. I hid it because I needed to tell
you something first." He got up from the ground and grabbed the book from the
desk drawer. When he sat again beside his mate, Stiles was looking at him
thoughtfully. "I've been avoiding this, but I can't keep it from you anymore.
You have to know."
"Is it bad? You look nervous." The boy said, grabbing his right hand and
intertwining their fingers.
Derek took a deep breath, looked at his mates eyes and said. "Do you know what
knotting means?"
Stiles got a confused face but answered. "Yeah, why?"
"When an Alpha finds his or her mate, they develop a way to conceive easier.
Male Alphas who have mates acquire a knot." He finished his sentence looking at
the ground, too afraid to face his mate. But Stiles burst out into laughter,
loudly thus he forced himself to look up at his mate. He kept looking, frowning
at Stiles till the boy looked back at him, slowly stopped laughing and stared
at him for a few seconds.
"Ooh, you're not joking! That's… Okay… I… Okay… How does it work?" Stiles said
faltering.
"I don't know exactly." He said, blushing.
"Cause I'm a virgin and all. You can hold the first time, right? I mean, my
virgin ass might not take it all at once." The boy laughed nervously.
"I don't know."
"Suddenly I totally agree with my dad." The boy said, shaking his head with a
sarcastic smile.
His mate was looking at the floor, and Derek was so afraid of what Stiles would
do after that, with that knowledge, that he wasn't even feeling the boy any
longer. His heart was racing, his hands shaking and sweating, he was looking at
his mate with desperate eyes. "What if he loses Stiles because of this?" That
thought wouldn't get out of Derek's mind.
########################
Of course Stiles didn't actually agree with his father, well not about the sex
thing at least, cause he thought a lot about it, especially with Derek, and for
a long time too. Because, even before all of that happened, he fantasized
having sex with the man. He often imagined, Derek on top of him, feeling the
man's cock inside of him, while he was jerking off, sometimes Stiles would even
finger himself imagining it, but an actual knot inside of him! Would they have
to be tied together, with Derek's dick hard inside of him for several minutes?
Then, he stopped thinking about it. The image alone made his dick twitch with
interest and Stiles found himself liking the situation he was picturing in his
head. "huh." He thought. Stiles looked back at Derek and noticed that the man
was pale, and had a bead of sweat sliding down the forehead. Derek's eyes were
desperately seeking something, some sort of reaction, from Stiles.
"I understand if you have second thoughts about us. I won't blame you if you
don't wanna be with me anymore" The man said.
He smiled at Derek, cupping his hands on each of the man's cheeks, looking
deeply into his eyes. "Derek, there is nothing you can say to me that will make
me not want you, believe me!" Stiles kissed his mate softly, he felt his
stomach fluttering, a rush of feelings rising inside his body, overwhelming
him. He stopped the kiss, resting his forehead on Derek's and for a second he
stopped thinking and just let that feeling guide him. "I love you, Derek."
Stiles felt his mate freeze under his palms rested on Derek's cheeks. He could
imagine the face his mate's making but didn't dare take a look. Stiles cursed
himself, so impulsive. He knew Derek had problems because of his past
relationships and he should have waited. But the feeling was too overwhelming,
and part of him wanted to reassure his mate that he wasn't going anywhere, that
Derek had nothing to fear.
A few moments later Derek was still quiet. Stiles sighed, he wasn't
disappointed, but part of him wanted to hear those words too. He could wait
though, not a big deal. "It's okay babe. You don't need to say it back, but I
needed you to know. I'm not going anywhere, even if you destroy my ass." He
laughed.
"You're an idiot." His mate said softly.
"I believe you have one more book for me?" Stiles said, stretching his hand.
"Yes, here."
