"NO! STILES!" Derek's cry of agony echoed through the stone building as his mate, the love of his life, fell further down.
And he died! THE END!
just kidding. I'm not that cruel!
With unbelievable speed, Ethan slid across the concrete and grabbed the hood of Stiles red jacket with his left hand. The fabric quickly tore, but the action had given the alpha enough time to grab the humans arm with his right hand. He quickly pulled the human back over the ledge. Stiles' eyes were clenched shut and his body was tensed as if still waiting for impact. He cracked his eyes open, relief filling his face when he realized that he had been saved. Derek nearly sobbed with joy as Kali roared.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" she growled her eyes burning red. Ethan stood in front of the human with his own eyes equally red.
"This is wrong, Kali! This is wrong and you know it!" the young alpha yelled. Kali, seething with fury, took a step at him with claws ready only to be intercept by the other twin. Aiden grabbed her raised arm, twisted it behind her back and threw her to the ground. Her glared down at her.
"Don't touch my brother, bitch." he sneered. Kali quickly rose to her feet.
"He killed Ennis. Our pack mate. Don't you want to avenge him?" she asked with a bit less harshness in her voice. The twins showed no emotion.
"This wont bring him back." Aiden mumbled. Kali smirked.
"You're right. But it'll make me feel a hell of a lot better." she growled lunging at Stiles. The twins blocked her way. It all went to hell from there. Kali and the twins began to fight, as if forgetting they were on the same side. They slashed at each other with their claws, drawing blood and releasing howls. The human looked over to Derek and began to scoot himself closer to the ring of mountain ash. The wolves were to busy fighting to notice that Stiles had left.
"Come on. A little more." Derek mumbled as Stiles got nearer. Stiles reached back with his still bound hands, trying to swipe at the mountain ash. Derek began to pull at his chains again, gritting his teeth from the pain. He broke through the chains just as Stiles wiped his bound hands across the ring of mountain ash, breaking its power. By then, the alphas had come to there senses, but it was too late.
Derek had already risen from his chair, scooped his mate into his arms and ran out of the abandoned building. The alphas chased after them, yelling curses as they ran. But Derek was too far gone, his instinct to protect his love fueled his body to run faster than it ever had before. Soon the mall and the alphas were just a memory behind them. Even though they were a safe distance away from they're enemies, Derek didn't stop running. He ran to the preserve, deep into the woods, to his burnt home.
He finally stopped running when his feet touched the charred wood of his old porch. His breathing was heavy and his heart was beating like a hammer in his chest. The human in his arms was the same. Derek looked down and saw Stiles' face buried into his shirt with his eyes clenched shut, the gag still tied around his mouth and his hand still binding his hands together behind his back. Derek gently sat him down and spoke softly. "Its okay."
Stiles slowly opened his honey eyes, relief clear in them when they saw Derek. Derek tore the gag away from his lips. Then, taking his mate's face in his hands, kissed him gently and warmly. He could feel Stiles' tears under his fingers, which he quickly wiped away. When they pulled apart, a chocked sob escaped the teen's lips. "Oh, God. Derek."
"Shh. Its okay. I'm right here." Derek comforted, reaching behind Stiles to slice through the ropes on his wrists. He took his hands in his own and looked down at the rope burns that circled around Stiles pale skin. Derek felt a bitter taste in his mouth as his eyed traveled across the human's face. The bruises on his skin seemed more amplified than they had before in the mall. He could now see the bruises that littered his neck and traveled up his arms. Feeling guilty for letting this happen to Stiles, Derek himself began to cry. He grabbed Stiles and pulled him close, wrapping his in his protection. Stiles buried his face into the wolf's shoulder and began to sob.
"I was so scared, Derek." he choked out, making Derek's heart break. Derek held his own tears in and held his love tighter.
"I know. And I'm going to make sure this never happens again. I'm going to protect you, Stiles. I swear to God. I love you so much, Stiles." Derek whispered against the teen's neck. Stiles nodded against the wolf before whispering back, "I love you too."
