Jessica woke up the next morning with a smile on her face, remembering the Derek-laced dreams running through her mind. Last night was perfect, even though they really didn't do anything, but she enjoyed just spending time with him. Being in his presence made everything seem better and she felt relaxed.

She spent the next few minutes laying in bed underneath her warm covers, thinking about Derek and his big muscles, until Scott knocked on the door and came in.

"Jess?" Scott whispered, hoping he didn't wake her up. When he saw her awake, he smiled and walked over to the bed, laying down beside her.

Jessica smiled at him and scooted over to give him room.

"Whats up Scotty?" she whispered, stifling a yawn.

Scott hummed and licked his lips in thought. He wanted to ask about Derek, but he didn't want to upset her.

"What are you doing today?" he whispered, chickening out at the last moment.

Jessica shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know, I don't work Saturdays so I'll probably stay here," she responded, thinking about contacting Derek to see him again.

Scott heard the small hiccup in her heart beat and he internally sighed, knowing what she was thinking about. He just nodded.

"Yeah, I might hang out hang out with Stiles for the day," he murmured, letting out a long breath.

Jessica just nodded and rubbed her eyes, wanting to get ready for the day.

Scott slowly slipped out of bed and kissed her forehead before walking out to let her do whatever she wanted, pulling out his phone to tell Stiles about Derek and Jess. Stiles wasn't too pleased about that (manly because he was still madly in love with her) because he was a scary werewolf that he believed that killed his sister. Scott agreed and agreed to meet up at his friends house to discuss their next actions.

Jessica grabbed her phone and immediately texted Derek, asking what his plans for today were.

Derek felt his heart skip a beat when his phone vibrated, and he took it out of his pocket, smiling at Jessica's name. Could he risk seeing her again? He couldn't tell himself no, he was already yearning to touch her soft skin again. He responded that he would pick her up at noon for lunch.

Jessica smiled wider and was instantly out of her bed to get into the shower, wanting to make herself look irresistible and beautiful. She had to hurry though, she only had two hours until he got here.

Once she got out of the shower and threw her hair up into her towel, she started to put her makeup on. She figured since the last few times they had hung out, she wasn't wearing a lot of makeup, she would keep things light, which is something she doesn't do often. She double checked her face once more before she stood up and rushed to her closet.

"Hey Jess-" Scott started as he entered her room, furrowing his eyebrows. "Uh... Where are you going?"

Jessica turned around and licked her lips as she tried to think of something.

"Just going out with some friends," she replied. That wasn't a total lie, right?

Scott narrowed his eyes at herm hearing a small skip in her heart beat. She was hiding something, but he didn't say anything in fear that he would risk telling her his secret.

"Yeah... Okay. Well Stiles is here, so I'm leaving," he whispered.

"Okay! Bye!" Jessica said, turning her back on him again to find a cute outfit.

"Bye..." he murmured, watching her for a moment longer before he walked out and went to Stiles' jeep.

Jessica let out a breath of relief when he left, and started digging to find something she thought Derek would like to see. She pulled out a loose-fitting red shirt and a pair of high-waisted shorts, and she quickly put them on.

After she double checked herself in the mirror, she walked to her bathroom to start on her hair. She debated for a few minutes if she should straighten or curl, but once she took the towel off, she smiled.

"Thank you hair..." she murmured, running her hand through her naturally wavy hair. It actually looked decent, for once. She quickly blow dried her hair and huffed, her hands going down her hips and waist.

She smiled at her reflection before walking downstairs to the living room, checking the clock. She still had a half hour left until he got here, which gave her enough time for her anxiety to sky-rocket. What if he didn't like her anymore after this? Would this be considered a date? Would this be their first date? What if she makes a giant fool out of herself?

A knock on the door made her jump from her thoughts and she walked to the door, slowly opening it.

"Hey," Derek said, smiling wider as his eyes quickly went over her body.

Jessica smiled back and opened the door wider for him to come in.

"Hey," she replied, watching him walk inside. He looked so good in that tight black shirt and those jeans made his butt look good. She blinked and tore herself away from those thoughts.

Derek took a deep breath in and sighed to himself. Her smell drove him crazy, it was so addicting. He turned around and faced her, his smile widening.

"Where would you like to go?" he asked, trying to not look at her body anymore but it was difficult.

Jessica hummed and grabbed her purse, shrugging her shoulders.

"Surprise me."


Jessica and Derek were sitting across from each other, laughing about a joke that he just made. They were at a retro-fifties diner, and it was pretty expensive.

"You know Hale, when I said surprise me, I didn't think you actually would," Jessica joked, looking around at the décor again. It made her smile.

"Well, I try my best," Derek replied, watching her. He loved the way her eyes lit up, and the way she smiled brought so much joy to him.

Jessica looked back at him and exhaled a breath of content. He was so...different than everyone else. Not just in personality, like something about him was unique. Her head tilted to the side, her lips turning up into a soft smile.

"What?" Derek whispered, his eyes studying her face, and the way her lips moved. She was too irresistible, she was something he couldn't stay away from, even if he tried.

"Nothing, just...thinking," she replied quietly, her face turning a light pink at the fact that she got caught staring. She averted her eyes down at the table and exhaled a long breath.

Derek reached across the table and grabbed her hand, his heart beat skipping a beat at the touch of her soft skin. He heard her heart speed up, and it made him smile.

"About what?" he murmured, his thumb going over the top of her hand. Her skin was so soft.

Jessica hummed and watched his hand, her toes curling at the warm contact coming from his rough fingers.

"You," she said after a moment of hesitation.

Derek blinked in surprise and smiled uncontrollably. She was so cute, she was just perfect in every way. And the fact that it seemed like she had the same feelings for him made him even fall harder.

"Oh," he mumbled, not knowing exactly what to say. He didn't expect that sort of answer, "What about me?"

Jessica let out a nervous laugh and looked around the restaurant, her eyes going over all the other couples. She didn't know how to say what was on her mind, she didn't want to scare him or make him feel uncomfortable.

"I was just thinking about us," she started, trying not to freak out over what she was about to say, "Like, what are we?"

Derek felt his body tense up and he sighed heavily. He didn't know what to say to that, he didn't want to put her life at risk by them being together. But she was already thrown into this world by her brother. He started to chew on the inside of his cheek as he decided on what he wanted to say.

"Jess..." he started, clearing his throat, "I really like you, a lot, and I know that we just started to be friends, but if you would let me, I would love to be your boyfriend."

Jessica blinked in surprise as her face turned bright red, her heart stopping for a few moments. She honestly didn't think that he was going to say anything like that, but she couldn't stop the smile stretching across her face.

"B-Boyfriend?" she repeated quietly, watching Derek smiled and nod at her. She let out a small laugh and nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I'll allow that," she said, smiling even wider that her cheeks started to hurt.

Derek exhaled a breath that he didn't realize he was holding, and he laughed along with her, his smiled spreading wider across his face.

"Really?" he asked, squeezing her hand softly.

"Yes," she said.


The Alpha jumped into Jessica McCall's room and growled lowly, walking around her room. He could smell Derek in here, it was faint but it was just enough for him to know.

The beta imprinted on the human girl.

How pathetic.

He started to tear the room apart, ripping her clothing out from her closet and drawers, wanting Derek to know that he knew. And that she was next.

He needed to expand his pack and he wanted to add the other McCall.

Nothing was going to stop him.

Not even his family.
