He was certainly not one to make a good first impression. Derek Hale was considered by many to be a frightening human being. He was tall, about 6'4" with piercing eyes, dark hair, a muscular body and a permanent scowl on his face. His all-black attire and shiny black Camaro didn't help the bad boy appearance that the boy had. What many did not know was that the boy was also a werewolf; an Alpha of a very large pack to boot. He had been forced to become Alpha when his family was killed in a house fire when he was only 13. For his 22 years, Derek had already lived more than one lifetime.
His purpose for being in front of Beacon Hills High was to meet with a few of his pack members. In the distance, he could see Scott McCall with the others. Scott was his number two and one of the only people Derek could even consider trusting. There was also Stiles Stilinski, Scott's best friend and a very entertaining youth who never failed to annoy Derek with how much he sucked at being a werewolf. Flanking the two were Isaac Lahey, Erica Reyes and Boyd. These three misfits also proved to be failures as human beings, but Derek was pleasantly surprised to find that they served to make very fine betas. All in all, the handsome Alpha had few complaints about these pack members.
Derek pushed off from his relaxed stance against his car and made his way towards his betas when he was harshly bumped. He looked down in annoyance just in time to see someone falling. He caught them by their upper arms and slowly brought them to a standing position. His eyes widened slightly and his breath hitched when he came face-to-face with lovely silver eyes. She was certainly beautiful, but it was her smile that stopped him. She had almost been seriously hurt, yet she still smiled at him as if he had just bought her a puppy.
He let go and she brushed herself off, laughing to herself. She looked up again and Derek fought to resist the urge to push a stray lock of short, copper-colored hair behind her ear. She looked back up at him and he was startled to hear a husky voice speaking to him. "Thanks. That would have been a terrible way to start the day off. It was entirely my fault, I'm sure. I can be so clumsy, especially early in the morning. Not to mention I have school now so my mind is so full of other things! I'm Ay Vilks, by the way. And you are?"
Derek looked at her dumbstruck. She was the first person outside of his pack to speak to him so openly and to look at him with something either than fear or pity. He couldn't speak; he could only look at that smile and those bright eyes as she waited for some sort of response. He was suddenly stirred from his thoughts as two girls ran up to the one in front of him. One began frantically whispering in her ear as the other glared daggers at him. Instinctively, he felt his scowl return and his eyes harden. He felt challenged and the Alpha didn't like being challenged, especially by a female not his own. All he could hear were the words 'Derek Hale' and 'fire' but he noticed that Ay's smile grew smaller. They led her away and he felt himself look after her. To his surprise, she looked back and smiled that same smile that had been on her face before.
He could hear Scott calling him, but his legs were leading him away from his betas and towards the enticing figure of the strange beauty. He could hear her laughing at something her friends had said. For the rest of the day, he watched as she laughed, smiled, listened, worked, lived. He watched through the windows as she studied and ate. He hid behind the bleachers as she watched and cheered for the lacrosse team. He was fascinated and felt a stirring in an organ he thought long dead: his heart. More to himself, he began to sing a song that he had often heard his father sing to his mother.
"The moon gives us its blessings/ I'm determined to obliterate myself, to be annihilated by your love/You remind me of the wind; touch me as you pass/ If I told you my intentions, you'd be flustered and embarrassed/ If I let you hear how my heart pounds, you'd grow anxious/ I don't know how to hide it away" Derek turned away and walked back to his car. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he felt himself grow serious. Looking straight ahead, he let the wind carry his words back to unhearing ears. "Let me be destroyed by you."
The song lyrics and the title are from a song called Chand Sifarish from the Bollywood movie Fanaa. It's a great movie that everyone should totally check out! The song title translates to the moon. I wanted Ay to be like the moon, having a powerful pull on Derek as much as the moon does for his wolf.
Also, I wanted to use some foreign languages in this story. For Ay, her first name is Turkish for moon and Vilks is Latvian for wolf. Totally original, I know but I needed a cool name for her and foreign languages always make English words look cooler.
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing except Ay Vilks. The Teen Wolf characters and the song title and lyrics belong to their respectful owners.
