- Isaac, please escort him to my room. - the king whispered to the curly boy who was watching them with interest.

- As you wish,sir. - the boy answered and smiled shyly at Stiles.

Stiles knows this boy. He was helping in the kitchen sometimes- he is tall, with curly blond hair. He is usually quiet and very, very cute in a childish way.

Stiles wasn't scared from the boy before but when he was gently nudged to walk forward by him, he started to question his first impression.

- Isaac... keep him safe. - the king told the boy.

- Of course, my lord. - the boy was looking at the king with a strange proud and determined look.

Stiles isn't sure if he wants to go with the boy, but he didn't want to stay with the king either - he was screwed both ways. He was scared to go to the king's room- he's not stupid. But the king won't try to hurt or rape him, right? They are not married yet so he won't try anything.

They were climbing some stairs but Stiles wasn't paying attention. He was thinking hard and trying to make a decision - he can try to push the boy down the stairs and escape and run out of the castle, and out of the kingdom and hide somewhere for the rest of his life...But he can't risk to hurt the boy and he can't hide somewhere for the rest of his life, right? No, he can't. He won't be able to see his father, and his friends and Lydia ... and of course he will be running away from werewolves - they are faster, stronger, they can see in the dark and they can smell him. They will probably catch him before he make it out of the castle.

Before he can make his decision the boy stopped him in front of a big wooden door.

- We're here, sir. - the boy spoke softly and bowed his head.

- Why are you talking to me like that? We work together... - he was getting angry. He is still the poor boy who works in the kitchen.

- Please, get inside - Isaac stepped into the room and waited for Stiles to make his way inside before locking the big door.

The room was amazingly big - Stiles was sure that his father's house is smaller than this room. There was a big bed in the corner - maybe 4 times bigger than his own bed. There was also a big fireplace with a fluffy carpet in front of it. A table with a few chairs can be seen also. Big wardrobe, drawers, big bathtub, lots of pictures on the walls and lots of other stuff were also in the room.

- You're my queen now ... you're not a kitchen boy anymore. - Isaac answered him, finally.

- But i don't want to be... - he whispered desperately.

- You should be happy, you will live in this castle, in this big room, you won't worry about food for yourself and your father anymore, for medicine, for money ... for anything at all.

- But ... what about my happiness? - he was on the verge of crying, Isaac was right - he will be able to take care of his father now, but he will be miserable here with the king as his husband. It was greedy from him to think just about himself...but still it was his life.

- The king is very good and generous person ... you can be happy with him, if you gave him a chance... - the boy smiled gently at him.

- Are ... are you in love with him? - Stiles asked slightly angry. He didn't know why but his insides felt on fire.

- No, no sir. King Derek is like a father to me. He saved my life before and bring me here and gave me food and home. I owe him my life... - the boy answered sincerely. He was talking with so much gratitude and respect about the king.

Derek's POV

-That was quite entertaining... I liked the part when you scared everyone with choking that girl.

Derek heard as soon as he closed the door. The room was dark but it wasn't a problem for them.

- It's him - was all Derek mumbled back.

- I know ... I can tell by the look on your face.

- I don't know what to do ... how to act?

- Well ... if you're asking how to properly claim your mate - I can give you some advices...

- He's a human ... he's scared from me... - interrupted Derek.

- Yes ... I saw that he's a human ... a male human on top of that..

- My wolf is going crazy ... he wants to have his mate ... what should I do Peter, this boy has no idea what's going on? He's scared from me ... my mate is scared from me ...

- Calm down Derek, you're making me nauseous ... just give him a little time to proceed what just happened. Be nice and charming and maybe wait a few nights with the claiming thing and everything should be fine .

- You don't understand... he's having panic attacks because of me ... what if something bad happen to him ... - Derek feels like he is having a panic attack of his own.

-No ... I'm the one who understands the situation perfectly... he may be a human, but he's your mate - he's made for you Derek. He's scared and angry, probably wants to kill you and then run away - but he won't do it... He won't, because deep down he feels it too - the bond, the loyalty, the love, the need and all this magic feelings that you have when you met your mate.

- But he's human, Peter. He can't truly understand the bond and everything...

- I thought we're past the part that he's human - Peter smirked but his smile quickly vanished because of Derek's murderous look.

-OK, ok ... he's human that's why it will be harder for him to feel it, but that doesn't meen it will be impossible. He's naturally drawn to you Derek so all you have to do is to be nice and sweet and charming with him and everything will be perfect. He's human and they fall easily in love - they're not like us. Make him fall in love with you...

- Make him fall in love with me - Derek repeated the words slowly. He imagined a day when he will wake up next to his mate and kiss him good morning and get a kiss in return and everything will be peaceful and perfect between them. But when will be that day?

- Peter... what if I can't control the wolf ... you know how my wolf is after ... with our family? - it was hard to talk about that, especially with his uncle.

- You have to find a way ... he will want to claim the boy as his mate immediately ... you have to fight him Derek. - Peter was quiet and too serious now, it was still painful for the both of them.

- And I will , even if I have to protect him from my own wolf ...
