AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL. MY BROTHER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO BUY ME ANOTHER LAPTOP SINCE THE OLD ONE BROKE. ANYWAYS HERE IT THE NEXT CHAPTER, IT'S SHORT, BUT THEN AGAIN I WILL HAVE NOTHING BUT, WRITE ALL DAMN DAY.


The rest of the night was uneventful. Derek didn't miss the way, Scott kept glancing at his girl. Now he wasn't the jealous type, but when it came to his brother…he can make an exception. He knew something had happened between them, his mother told him. What she didn't say was why, one month they were together, then a few months later they were separated. Scanning the room, he smiled. Isaac was leaned into her side. While she had her head on his shoulder, their hands entwined. Having a so call pack mom will help Isaac overcome his shyness and trauma. Scott and his pack sat a bit separated from his, not that he minds. But he knew is bothered Allison and if it upsets her, it upsets him as well.

"I'll be back." He whispered, not wanting to interrupt the others. Allison nodded, lifting her head, but not disturbing the pup. Walking into the kitchen, he reached for a beer.

"Can you hand me one?" Peter spoke from the doorway.

Derek growled but tossed him the bottle. Just as he was about to walk away, Peter stopped him. "Hands off." He snarled.

Peter raised his hands in surrender. "Can we talk?"

"About?"

"What has happened in the past years," Peter whispered. "I really want to explain a lot of things."

Derek snorted. "Sure, where should you begin? Killing Laura? Kate killing the pack? Attacking my beta? Or the fact that you decided to join a sociopath's pack, instead of looking out after Cora and me! You turned your back on your own family! Not to mention you killed your niece!"

"I know Derek and you have no idea how much I regret it. I was not right at the moment. All I wanted was revenge, on the hunters and Kate. I didn't mean to cast you out." Peter said.

"Your too late Peter." Derek snarled. "I couldn't care less about you leaving. I am doing just fine on my own. Cora is happy with her new pack and has found her mate as well. What I will never forget is you killing my sister, my alpha. Much less destroying my family. For fucks sakes Peter! Because of you, everyone died!"

"It was not my fault Derek! I didn't tell Kate to kill them!" Peter yelled.

"You played with her! Used her as your bitch and tossed her out! You knew she was nothing, but a pass time! Why make her fall in love? Why tell her you loved her? Why in the fuck would you promise her the bite and then back out? You and your stupid decisions are what killed my family! And you have the nerve to tell me you are married and with a hybrid!" Derek was livid. "I have nothing against your son, but he has only one chance. He blows it and you must let the treaty continue."

Peter frowned, not knowing when the subject changed. "I am not giving up my son Derek."

"Not our choice peter. You know the dangers." Walking by, he paused beside him. "Laura was three months along when you killed her. It was a girl." Leaving him with that, he pushed past him and into the living room. Upon entering the room, he rolled his eyes. Everyone was quick to turn and watch the tv when he entered. Then again a house full of supernatural beings, it never private. Sitting beside Allison he sighed. "How much was heard?"

"All of it." She whispered.

"How did you hear it?" Derek wondered.

Allison smiled. "You weren't as quiet as you might think."

"Figured. I just needed to let it out." Derek mumbled.

Allison shifted Isaac, so his head was on the couch. Standing up slowly, she pulled Derek with her and out the house. "Let's take a walk."

Derek frowned. "Alright." They walked for what seemed like hours. Derek didn't mind, the cold air and her warmth were amazing. She stood close to him, her hand in his and head on his arm. Her scent invaded his personal air, giving him a sense of love. Releasing her hand, he wrapped his arm around her waist. "I missed this."

"What?"

"Our walks. When you were younger, I would take you here. The occasion was variable, from you needing to cool down, breath, hang out or simply go for a joy ride. There wasn't a day we didn't go for a walk. Although I was the one doing the walking." Derek smirked.

"What was I doing?" Allison frowned.

Derek chuckled. "On my back, I was usually on all four."

Allison giggled. "How can I not remember that!?"

Shrugging, Derek had an idea. "Wait here." Not letting her respond, he disappeared behind a few bushes.

"Derek?" Allison called. "Come on, it's cold!" Hearing a slight growl, she froze. "Derek?"

A dark shadow jumped from within the bushes. A shadow, that turned out to be a wolf. He was huge, reached a bit lower than her shoulder. His shaggy fur was dark as the night, if not blacker. His eyes a bright red, the brightest she has ever seen. The wolf slowly laid on the ground, giving her the knowledge he was not going to hurt her.

Allison slowly walked forward, until she was face to face with him. "You're amazing! Beautiful." Derek gave her a quick lick on the neck, nudging her back he turned his back to her. "Like old times?" Getting a small woof, she carefully climbed onto his back. Gasping at the sudden change of heights. Derek waited until he felt her fingers grip his fur, before trotting deeper into the woods. He was itching to run, feel the wind in his fur, the soft soil under his paws. But was afraid to frighten her. There were moments he'd get over excited and trotted faster, only to remember his passenger. Something Allison didn't miss. "Let go, Derek, run if you must. I will not be afraid." Leaning down, she whispered into his ear. "I trust you." That was all he needed, backing up a bit he flew. Like a bullet out of a gun.
