A/N – thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter and I have a special message for one person because I can't private message them back.

Dear BlaiddDrwg Project I totally agree with your assumption that Scott is not the only one being shitty here because that was the intention. I wanted to write a fic where Stiles doesn't just fall into his arms because Derek seems like the kinda guy that would go about romance all the wrong way.

Well done to everyone else that wrote a review to the same respect because I want friction between them because its fun to write.

So back to the fic enjoy….

Stiles

"I want to go home" my voice was quiet drowned out by Jackson's shouts and Derek's threats to be quiet but with werewolf hearing they both stopped to look at me.

Derek moved to stand in front of me and placed a heavy hand on my shoulder making me shudder "you can't go home Stiles."

"Why not?" I tried to keep my voice steady to hide the anger and resentment that was building up in me.

Derek lowered himself into a crouch but I kept my eyes glued to the dirty floor so as to avoid his bright green orbs. "You need to stay here because I need to keep you safe, I know you are safe if you're here."

My hands curled to fists on my knees "I don't want to be anywhere near you" I spat out. I raised my head with all the courage I had and looked at both the alpha and beta in the room "any of you!"

Derek opened his mouth to speak but I threw myself from my chair making it tumble backwards and crash onto the floor. He closed his mouth again as a heavy silence filled the living room which is where we had moved to in the aftermath of our confrontation with Scott.

I had been lead back in by a Derek who had steered me into a seat just as Jackson started to yell at the Alpha. They had argued about Derek's threat to kill Allison and how lucky they were that Scott hadn't brought her parents along with him. He complained about not wanting to be on the wrong side of the hunters, which he already was because he choose to be a werewolf but never mind.

But now as we suffocated under the quiet even I was starting to miss the yelling "Jackson leave" Derek ordered.

"Gladly" and he stormed out the door making sure to slam it for good measure.

"Tell me what you meant by any of us?" it was another command but delievered in a much softer tone than Jackson had received.

"I am so sick of this bullshit!" I said shrugging my shoulders as my eyes threatened to water yet again. "I'm sick of werewolves and hunters I'm sick of keeping secrets and running for my life every other week and I'm sick of being treated like some scrawny ass kid who can't take care of himself." I pointed at myself for emphasis "I'm not the one that turns into a furry monster every time something pisses me off and if nobody's noticed yet I'm the jackass running around looking after everyone else!"

I was yelling towards the end of my rant and in a moment of absolute fury I picked up the closest thing to hand (a twisted metal ornament) and threw it at Derek. He caught it easily which pissed me off even more. But anger fizzled away quickly and soon I was panting hard to stop from breaking down in tears.

"Just let me go please Derek."

"I cant" was his monotone reply which nearly brought me to my knees "because you're my mate."

For a moment I thought I was hearing things, I mean i must be after he said it in such a matter of fact of fact tone, like he was explaining to me that 2+2 equals 4. So I thought I'd clarify "what?"

Derek sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose "when an alpha starts to build a pack one of the first things he does is look for a mate. My uncle never got that far because he was so hell bent on revenge but the moment I killed Peter and bit Jackson the need to find my mate nearly overpowered me."

"So you just decided to make it me?" I near yelled trying to keep the hysteria out of my voice.

"Of course not" his words were calm as he took a step towards me and I retreated by three. Pain flashed in his eyes but as quick as it was there it was gone and he continued to explain this madness to me. "I was trying to ignore it so that I could continue to strengthen my pack, so my first stop was Scott to see if he was willing join me." He turned to look out the window but I could tell by his glazed expression that he wasn't really seeing anyway "you were with him when he left his work that night. It hit me like lightening I just suddenly needed you it took all my power not to rip you from Scott's side and take you then." My heart did a strange flip at that as my blood ran cold and he stared at me with red eyes. "I knew at that moment you were meant to be mine" his voice was fractured in two the voice of Derek and that of the wolf within.

I shook my head "I could never – not after what you – did you really think?" my words were jumbled as accusations and defiance fought each other to be heard first.

"I know that you don't feel that way just now but Stiles trust me you were born to be by my side its how it works."

"NO!" I screamed "I will not be bullied into being you sex toy because of some bullshit legend! I don't care how you pants reacted when you saw me under a new light" again the impulse to throw something came but there was nothing beside me.

"Do you think that's what you would be?" now Derek was shouting "a toy? You mean everything to me Stiles and even before this happened I did respect you I did like you."

"What a load of horsesh-"

"I'm not lying!" his tone was aggravated and thin on patience, which was the Derek I knew. "You annoyed the hell out of me that was true but you had balls in the face of danger even when it wasn't your danger to face and I respected that."

"So what –" I said shrugging my shoulders dramatically "- you liked me before realising you were made to jump my bones so you just expect me to let you now is that?"

"No I want you…" he sighed and rubbed his face before looking at in desperation "I want you to want me back."

"Well I don't" I snarled "so now that you know can I go home?"

My words were harsh but I revelled in the pain it caused him as his face fell and for once he was the one who looked he drowning in despair. It was strangely reassuring to know that Derek could look so...human and feel weakness that it wasn't only everybody else's burden. Unfortunately it didn't last long because his face slipped back into its usual cold expression. "No you can't because whether you want to be or not you are my mate and throwing a tantrum will not change that."

"A tantrum?" I looked at him in disbelief "you think this is a tantrum?" My voice was once again rising steadily along with my anger. "You kidnap me, ruin my friendship with Scott, tell me casually that I'm your freaking soul mate while expecting me to be ok with and you call this a tantrum?"

"That's all it looks like to me" his tone just as harsh as mine.

I shook my head in disbelief before waving my hand in the air as if to brush way my anger. "You know what I don't care what you think because you mean nothing to me." My voice was casual as though it made no difference to me even though it did very much so in fact! "If you think that I will ever come crawling to you well you'll be waiting a hell of a long time because I'm never letting you anywhere near me."

"So what are you going to do Stiles ignore me for the rest of your life because you are never leaving this house unless it's which me!" Derek lowered his head slightly his gaze red with anger and I knew he was trying to intimdate me but for once I didn't care, I really was sick of being bullied by the older teen.

"Fine I'll just go acquaint myself with your bedroom wall" I snapped before storming up the stairs.

"Fine!" Derek yelled after me.

"FINE!" I screamed back down at him before reaching his bedroom door and slamming it behind me.

Derek

I ran a hand over my face in frustration as I heard Stiles kick something in my room above me before throwing himself onto my bed. That had not gone the way I had planned it in my head and this was defiantly not going to be easy.

AHHHH really found it hard to write this chapter I know its short and I'm not sure how I feel about it but I totally didn't know how to follow on straight from chap 2. Hope it's not completely god awful and if it is be kind R&R please….DanniHavok
