"You know you're lucky right?" Derek said in his usual stressed tone. "I know, you always tell me that. But why? Why am I so lucky?" Scott was getting annoyed with all this You're lucky crap. "You have someone who loves you that's not dead. You have a family. You have friends." "What do you mean 'someone who loves you that's not dead'?" he asked "I had a girlfriend once. She's dead now. Killed by a con man Alpha. The Alpha of the pack before the fire. The Alpha wasn't always a Hale." Scott was suddenly interested "Go on." "Her name was Alyssa..."

FLASHBACK

"Alyssa!" "Hi Derek, How are you today?" "Wonderful! And you?" "Same." Alyssa smiled the smile I loved so much. I was happy this day. "I got this for you." I handed her a red velvet box "Don't tell me how much you spent on this." she opened the box and her face lit up. "Derek! It's beautiful, I love it!" she pulled out the necklace. It was a black stone necklace.

BREAK IN FLASKBACK
"What is Black Stone?" "A death resisting stone. It protects it's owner from anything intended for death. If it's natural and not intended for death however it doesn't work. This necklace the obvious stone was hollow and in it was a wolfsbane arrow tip to protect the stone itself." "OK"

CONTINUE FLASHBACK

"Would you put it on me?" "Of course." I clasped the necklace under her hair. She smiled "I'm sorry but my mom's birthday is coming up soon as you know and I'm going downtown to get her a necklace that she said she liked. I'll see you later OK?" "OK, See you later." Little did I know, this would be the last time I ever saw Alyssa breathing again.

She walked down to the jewelry store. The Alpha had killed the jeweler only an hour before, he was faking to be the jeweler to try and kill her to get to me being that I refused to be a member of his pack. "Hello miss, can I help you with anything today?" "Um yes, actually I am shopping for my mom, do you still have this necklace?" she showed him the picture on her cell phone of the necklace. "Oh yes, we only have one left. You are very lucky you know. She smiled.

"Here you are miss." he handed her the necklace. "Thank you!" "Miss, may I say that necklace of yours is incredibly beautiful. May I ask who gave it to you?" "My boyfriend gave it to me last time I saw him. Do you know what stone it is? Because I sure don't." "It'll only take a minute may I see it?" "Sure" Alyssa handed him the necklace. "Now." "What?" that was her last word. 'What?' then a friend from another pack snapped her neck. She died that day. A week before her mother's birthday.

END FLASHBACK

"The Alpha, me. Would never do that to you Scott. Because I know how much it hurts. I know what the pain of loss is." "Derek, I had no idea that had happened to you. What happened to the necklace?" "I got it back... Eventually." he pulled a red velvet box out of the drawer beside him and opened it revealing the most beautiful piece of Jewelry to ever grace this planet. "Take it, give it to Allison. It will keep her safe. Be sure to tell her NEVER TO TAKE IT OFF." Derek said the end very sternly. Scott nodded. Derek was so lost, he had lost the love of his life that day. Since then he hated any Alpha of his pack. Family or not.

AN I hope you liked it! Leave a review for me to read, I love to read them. I just thought that maybe the fire shouldn't be Derek's only emotional issue... I hope you like it! R&R
