Chapter Ten

/This chapter is set two months after the events of chapter nine/

Life was going great for the Hale pack, their Alpha had Mated to Stiles Stilinski, who fit into the pack mom role perfectly. Issac and Danny had moved out of the pack house, but they were still around all the time, Kira's parents had left two weeks earlier, she was taking it kinda hard, Jackson and Lydia were preparing to leave when summer was over, but promised to be around as much as possible, and Laura had found the property for the diner she was going to open.

Stiles was the happiest he'd been since his Mom died. Stiles' and Derek's relationship was amazing. Stiles had moved in to Derek's room (which was huge), and they were rarely apart. That is until, early one morning he and Derek walked out the front to door to find a dark haired woman laying in front of the door covered in blood.

Stiles leaned over and smelled the body. "She's alive...ERICA, BOYD COME HELP ME." Stiles yelled moving closer to the woman.

Derek was just standing there staring at the woman, until Stiles was about to touch her. Derek growled "Do not touch her Stiles." he commanded. Stiles stared at him for a moment before Erica and Boyd came out looking rumpled.

"Help me move her to the bathroom." Stiles commanded ignoring Derek.

Erica was about to help when she growled. Moving to attack the already nearly dead woman. "I will not help that bitch." She simply said.

"WHAT THE HELL. She's dying, and you're not going to help her." Stiles said picking up the woman himself. He walked in the house taking her the bathroom in his old room without looking back.

He sat the woman in the tub rinsing the blood off of her face and chest. "Hey, I'm sorry about my pack lady. I've never seen any of them act that way." He spoke to the unconscious woman.

Lydia came walking into the room minutes later. "I can't believe you're helping her." She said staring at Stiles with a look of disgust.

"Why wouldn't I, she didn't do anything to me." Stiles said

"Maybe not to you, but she did to Derek...Stiles that's Jennifer you're helping." Lydia said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"WhAt?!" Stiles said jumping away from her. Seconds later his eyes were glowing red, and he was shifting.

"Stiles, Derek left. He can't stand to even hear her name, much less to see his Mate coddle her." Lydia said, this brought Stiles back.

"Wha- Why wouldn't he tell me that. I can't let her die now, but I wouldn't have helped her if I'd known." That wasn't completely true he might have helped her so he could kill her himself.

"She's forbidden to enter Hale property technically speaking bringing her in to the pack house is betraying the pack." Lydia said "Plus Erica said he tried to tell you, but you ignored him." Oh god he had, he'd betrayed the pack, and ignored his Mate, and Alpha. After she finished talking Lydia also added "Her house if not to far away, I'm not sure where she lives, but she purposely came here." after that Lydia walked out of the room. She stank of disappointment, and it made Stiles feel like shit.

He left her in the bathroom, and grabbed a duffel bag, packing a few things, after a moment of hesitation he packed one of Derek's shirts. When he was done, he walked back to the bathroom, pulled Jennifer out of the bathtub, and walked to his Jeep.

"Stiles, where are you going?" Jackson said, for once his voice actually holding real concern.

"Away, tell Derek... tell him I'm sorry." Stiles said tears welling in eyes.

"Stiles." Erica said from upstairs.

"Erica don't just make sure...make sure Derek knows I didn't know." Stiles said closing the car door, and pulling away from the pack.

Once he was off of Hale property, he pulled over and cried. Huge, body wracking, heart breaking sobs. When he was done he pulled out his phone looking for the map of the territories he kept there. He found what he was looking for he pulled back on the road, and drove.

A moan sounded from the backseat about an hour later. "Where am I." Jennifer asked looking at Stiles.

"Don't talk or so help me god I will finish the job someone else started. I'm going to take you to Darach property, after that you will never step foot on Hale property again." Stiles growled.

Jennifer didn't reply just stared at him or moment, smirked, and laid back down.

Stiles drove for almost fourteen hours straight before they arrived on Darach property.

"Get out." was all he said.

Jennifer opened the door and said "I know who you are, and trust me when I say, I didn't do this on purpose, it was just an added bonus."

Stiles almost got out of the car. Almost. Instead he tightened his fingers on the steering wheel, and drove away from the bitch who had just ruined his life.

~~Derek's POV~~

Derek walked through the door to the pack house two hours after Stiles had ignored a direct command, and helped a woman Derek hated. All Derek wanted to do was find Stiles talk about it, maybe has some angry sex, and cuddle.

What he did find was everyone in the Hale pack (excluding Stiles) sitting in the pack room sniffling and crying.

"Damn you, Derek. I hope you're happy my best friend in the world is gone God knows where, because of your fucked up past." Scott said jumping up, and running out of the room.

"What does he mean gone." Derek growled to everyone in the room.

"Stiles left, Lydia told him who she was (and apparently that he betrayed us)." Erica stopped to glare at Lydia "and he took Jennifer, and left. He said to tell you he was sorry and that he didn't know." Erica cried harder after she finished.

"I didn't think the idiot would just get up, and leave." Lydia said, she was sitting on Jackson's lap sniffling. Derek growled at her.

"Oh shut up Derek this is your fault for not just telling him when you saw her." Lydia said snapping.

Derek was staring at everyone sitting in front of him. He couldn't comprehend that Stiles would just leave, without saying goodbye. Derek bounded upstairs throwing open their room door, expecting to find Stiles reading something for research or one of those trashy, romance novels he loved. All Derek found though was a note sitting on his pillow.

"Derek,

I'm sure that Erica is pissed (so is Scott), and that everyone is blaming you. Tell them that this is my fault. The one time I completely ignore an Alpha's request, is the one time that it really was important. I'm going to take her back to Darach territory. I'm not coming back. Maybe I'll go live in New York, you know how much I wanted to visit. Please Derek let me go. I love you, but looking at you and the pack knowing that I betrayed everyone would break me apart. Find some nice girl (or guy) that your wolf likes, and get over me. Love Stiles.

P.S Look In The Closet."

Derek ran over to the closet hoping that this was all a terrible joke, instead he found Stiles' red hoodie hanging next to Derek's favorite leather jacket. He grabbed it and clasped in the floor, tears running down his cheeks.

Hours later, Laura walked in to find Derek still curled up with Stiles' hoodie. "I'm going to find him, and if I have to drag him by his balls he's going to come back." was all Derek said to her.

Early the next morning Derek packed a bag, and took off in his Camaro leaving Laura in charge until he got back.

Derek wasn't coming back until he found Stiles, and convinced him to come home. He would go to the ends of the Earth for Stiles, and there baby (that was now growing inside of him).
