Alpha and Omega

Chapter 10

The bed dipped a little, causing my eyes to fly open. My muscles were relaxed, making me stretch and purr like a cat. I turned over and locked eyes with Derek. He was propped up on one of his elbows, leaning slightly over me.

"What time is it?" I yawned, stretching again.

"6 AM. You've been asleep for 5 hours," He was still staring at me, not letting his eyes wander at all. It was kind of unnerving.

"And how much did you sleep?" My eyes locked onto the bags under his eyes. That they were there meant he was exhausted, his healing rate diminished due to being over worked. I frowned before poking him on the nose. "You need to sleep."

"I'm fine," His voice was gruff. I frowned at him again.

"No, you're not," I whispered, pushing myself up and knocking my forehead against him. His eyes widened before letting out a soft growl. I smiled at him.

"What happened?" It sounded more like a demand coming from him, one that I was kind of reluctant to succumb to. I still didn't have a handle on what had happened. How was I going to explain it to him?

"I'm not really sure," I answered, pushing myself into a sitting position and wincing as the muscles in my back twinged. Now it was his turn to frown at me. Stiles was right, he really is a sourwolf sometimes.

"The things I do remember are really mundane, and there's a lot of blacked out spans of time. I don't think I'm supposed to tell anyone what happened," This didn't make Derek happy, and it made me want to laugh hysterically.

"What do you mean you don't remember?" His voice was angry, and the vein in his neck was pulsing. I took a deep breath, and let my eyelids close as I counted to 10. I opened my eyes, narrowing them at him as he made his prime bitch face at me.

"What do you think it means? It means I don't remember! Do you have any idea what I've been through recently? Lay off the 3rd degree! Whatever it was it was absolutely insane and it's like there's something keeping me from speaking about it. Ok?" He huffed and drew his eyebrows down. I bit the inside of my cheek, trying not to laugh at him. It was like they were independent of Derek. His eyebrows could tell a story.

"Listen, I literally just woke up from whatever weird mystical journey I was on. I've spent the last 16 years of my life thinking that the supernatural was illogical at best. Now I turn into a wolf that can run through solid matter and I can do moon magic. Let me figure myself out before you demand answers, Ok? Please?" My voice softened as it got to the last word, making sure my eyes took on that wounded deer look as he let out a puff of air before setting his lips into a thin line and nodding. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him, knowing that holding his tongue was costing him more than his curiosity.

"Thank you," I whispered in his ear before kissing beneath his lobe. He shuddered against me as he wrapped his arms around me. His nose was cold as he buried it against my neck, and the snuffling that followed made my gut twinge.

I never felt like this with Jackson. Whatever Derek and I had… it transcended anything I had ever felt before. I looked down the line of his back and saw his shoulders shaking a little. I ran my hands up and down his back, smoothing out his shirt and rubbing circles into his lower back.

Maybe being a supernatural magic wolf would be OK, if it meant I had Derek.

"Ok, you need to take a nap. I'm going to take a shower and watch the news, and try and figure some stuff out. Like how I'm going to tell my parents I've been in a coma in a cave." Derek pulled away from me and yup, there it was, that glare again.

"I'm fine," His voice was gruff and full of lies. Dirty, dirty lies.

"If you don't sleep I'll go incorporeal on your ass and then we'll see how much action you get, buddy. Lydia Martin doesn't date guys with big ole' purple bags under their eyes. So take a nap before I make you take a nap." His face was just as void of emotion as ever, the bastard. I raised an eyebrow at him and pursed my lips.

"Just go to sleep! Stop acting like a child," I demanded, pushing him backwards onto the bed. His eyes squinted at me as a growl slipped out of his throat. I willed my claws into existence and slapped him in the throat.

"If you don't sleep you won't be able to protect me. If you don't sleep you just prove that you don't want to protect me. And I do not kiss guys that want harm to come to me. Figure your shit out, Hale." And with that I got up and waltzed into the bathroom, prepared to take the hottest shower of my life. Because after sleeping in a cave, and imagining myself in the woods for… well, for what felt like years… yeah, water good.

Anticipation bubbled within me as I turned on the knob for the shower. I shucked my clothes and looked over my body as I waited for the water to heat up. I was a mess, a big big mess.

"Lydia, this is going to require some serious work," I said out loud, eyeing my face in the reflection. You'd think for someone who was asleep for so long that my complexion would be slightly less hobbit-esque. I rolled my shoulders before turning and stepping into the shower, letting out a sigh as my back cracked. The water hit my skin and I moaned, letting out all the tension I didn't even know I was holding in.

I grabbed the cheap motel soap and tore off the paper, wetting it in the water and scrubbing my hands. There was only so much I was willing to put up with, and being filthy like this was certainly not one of them.

"Gross," I moaned as the water washed away the dirt, revealing a skin tone at least three shades lighter than the rest of me. To think that Derek was sleeping on those sheets, after I had burrowed into the bed for five hours…

"Fucking werewolves," I bit out as my hands traveled up my arms.

"You like werewolves," I let out a shriek and flung myself to the shower wall as Derek's voice came from the other side of the curtain.

"Don't do that. How did you sneak in here?! This is outrageous-" my complaints were cut off as the curtain slid to the side, allowing enough space for a very naked Derek to step in.

"I'll sleep after I shower," His voice was smug as his hands grabbed my hips and pulled me towards him. His eyebrows were doing that thing again, that evil thing that meant bad-good things would happen.

"Well, if you have to take my me time the least you can do is wash me," I drawled, letting my hand flop open, the soap resting on my palm. I glanced at him and almost smirked as he took it from me and started lathering his hands.

"Yes, ma'am" He snarked, dragging his hands up and down my sides. I tsked at him before turning around.

"Start with my back." I let the water hit my face as his hands worked my back, letting the suds travel down my legs. I looked down at the drain, watched as the suds swirled and his feet twitched next to mine. It had to be a crime to be that naturally tan.

"I'm not a doll, Derek. I've been in a coma, work out those muscles!" I let out a giggle as his fingers dug into me, stifling a moan as his blunt nails dragged down my back and down my sides to my legs.

"I don't like it when you're bossy. I'm the Alpha, I make the orders." He grumped as he lifted one of my legs and washed my foot. For real?

"I thought you understood how this works. You order everyone else around, I order you around. Now scrub" If there was a mirror in this shower I'd be able to see the smirk on my face. He put my leg down and lifted the other, repeating his dutiful washing.

"That isn't what I signed up for," He huffed as he let the other foot hit the cheap plastic stall. I laughed.

"You shouldn't have jumped me in the woods then." He let out a snarl and slapped one of my ass cheeks, sending me forward into the wall.

"Ow! This is not a scene from 50 Shades of Grey!" Derek pressed into me, caging me against the wall. He was, uh, happy to be there.

"I'm the Alpha. If I say this is a scene from 50 Shades of Grey than it is" He growled into my ear as he ground his dick into my lower back.

"Well, I'm Lydia and I say spanking is not allowed. Some things are sacred," I panted out, instantly wishing I had washed my hair first when I got into the shower. It's the little things you think about when you know you're about to be screwed in a shower. After being in a coma in a cave.

"You need to be punished for your insubordination," He growled. Derek nipped the skin underneath my ear before licking his way down my neck.

"I have an idea. Shove your big, throbbing phallus into my tight, quivering opening. How's that for 50 Shades-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because I was too busy gasping at the sudden sensation of penis. In my vagina.

"Done," He groaned, letting his head fall onto my shoulder. He moved in and out of me slowly, causing me to squirm against him.

"That kind of hurt, you know. I have needs, certain things need to happen before-"

"I missed you so much," He panted. It made me shut my mouth. The tone of his voice, the rawness of it made me rethink the inner bitch. This certainly didn't seem like the time or place.

"I was so scared, Derek," I whispered, arching my back as he bottomed out. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me close as he nuzzled my neck. "I thought about you the entire time."

"Don't do that ever again," He whispered into my neck. I turned my head and looked at him as his head came up.

"One step at a time, Derek." I smirked at him and drew my hips forward. "Right now, you have one job to do. We can cuddle in bed. The water is getting slightly less hot."

"Seriously?" He looked incredulous. His eyes were wide and his mouth was handing slightly open. He looked like a cute chipmunk.

"Yes, Derek! Fuck me! Do me hard! I want to get out of this shower so I can sit on your face in peace. So do it!" His mouth snapped shut, and with a nod he plowed away.

The old me would be horrified. Here I was, in a dirty motel room, getting fucked in a nasty shower stall. Doggy style. Without protection, even. The new me?

The new me liked it.

I had to take another shower when we finished. It was worth it.

AN: I know it's been forever!

First, THANK YOU for all the wonderful reviews! I'm not kidding when I say that reviews matter. I truly need the support to keep me motivated. When I logged in today for the first time in a while and saw all the reviews on the last chapter I almost creamed my pants. I wrote this today. SO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. A motivated me is a writing me!

That said, I'm beginning to re-edit all the chapters as I am going to be posting this on Archive of Our Own. I'm making some changes. There are grammar issues. The plot is staying the same though, so you don't need to re-read it. I just need to polish it.

I love you all. My tumblr link is in my profile, so if any of you have one you can talk to me there =)
