Chapter 1

Note: This my first attempt at writing any fanfiction. I know it's a short chapter but just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in reading this story. If anyone is interested in seeing where the story will go let me know and I will get on it. Anyway hopefully you enjoy...

Somehow he had managed to keep it a secret. Somewhere during the past two years Derek had fallen for Stiles. Fallen for the way he would never stay quiet for longer than two seconds, fallen for the way he stupidly put himself at risk to save the pack and of course fallen for those beautiful hazel eyes and perfect lips. The only problem with that? Derek was an alpha and Stiles was human. As much as he wanted to take what he had come to think of as his, he didn't think he had the restraint to control himself around the boy if he decided to act on his impulses. So that's why even after all this time he tries time and time again to push Stiles away from him, tries to stop him from getting even an inkling as to what Derek thinks about when he sees him.

During one of their "Let's go big bad killing" (Stiles' words not Derek's") wood excursions Derek had separated from the rest of the pack and told them to stick together while he went off in the opposite direction. Normally he would be all for strength in numbers but with Stiles there he just couldn't keep his thoughts straight. After walking for a couple of miles Derek came across what appeared to be a woman hunched over in the grass. He approaches with caution trying to figure out exactly what she is doing. That's when he notices the symbols she has carved into the ground beneath his feet, and also notices he can't fucking move!

"What the hell is this?" Derek all but roared at the woman.

"Just a little protection" The woman smirked.

Derek just growled back at her in what should have been a very intimidating manner but the woman just continued smirking at him.

"Now, now there's no need for any of the growling. I'm only here because you want me to be." The woman calmly said.

Derek's eyebrows were doing their usual glare thing but his face was very confused..

"What do you mean you're here because I want you to be? I didn't ask you to be here!" shouted Derek.

The woman's smirk turned into more of a smile as she softly says "You don't have to say anything out loud for me to be able to hear you. I hear you practically every single night pleading for my help."

Derek was even more confused. Who was this woman? What was here game? Listening to her heart beat while she spoke she truly believed what she was saying to be true, that she was indeed here to help answer some unspoken request of his. "If that's true then why have you trapped me? If you are truly here to help why do you need to this?" Derek said gesturing to the symbols at his feet.

The woman let out a small laugh and then stated "Aren't you usually a kill first ask questions later kind of alpha?"

Derek, well he couldn't really argue with that so he just kinda shrugged his shoulders and let his head drop slightly. The woman released a sigh and then pointed at the symbols at Derek's feet making them crack. He was able to move now but he only moved slightly closer to the woman interested more than would admit in what she had to say.

Derek tried to keep a somewhat peaceful tone to his voice but it came out more forcefully than he had intended "What is it you think I'm asking for then? Since you seem to know more than I do"

The woman continued smiling at him, a real smile not a forced one and pointed at Derek's chest "I'm here to give you what your heart desires most. A chance at happiness with the one you love."

Derek knew instantly what she was taking about – Stiles. He wanted more than anything to spend just one day with him but he couldn't put him at risk like that, could control the wolf within.

"I can't give in to my desires I care too much for him, I don't deserve him, he doesn't deserve to be put in that kind of danger."

The woman nodded just slightly before she began " And that's where I come in. I will make it so that for one day you can be with him, not as Derek the alpha but as Derek the man. Do everything you've ever wanted to do with him and enjoy the day."

She nodded her head again and Derek fell to his knees. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and when he looked up the woman was nowhere to be seen. He looked around and noticed the rest of the pack heading towards him. He locked eyes with Stiles and saw the worry on his face, he jumped up and ran towards him and pulled him in for a tight embrace.
