We were sitting in the car driving back to school. Derek was behind the wheel and I sat next to him. Chloe and Dan were sitting in the back. We were driving for an hour so just one more hour to go before we were back.

'Riley can I ask you something?' Dan said. 'Depends on what you are going to ask' I said smiling while I turned my head to look at him. 'It's about your pack' he said. 'Sure go ahead' I replied. 'You're the Alpha of your pack right, but doesn't that mean you need to watch them, giving orders. I mean I have never see you with someone of your pack, you're their leader you need to tell them what to do' he said.

'You think I'm not doing my job as an Alpha because you never saw my pack right?' I said. 'If you say it like that it sounds a little rude' Dan said feeling a little guilty. 'No I understand, I would probably have thought the same if I were you' I said. 'Then how?' Dan asked.

'Well you have to know my pack was walking around without an Alpha for about five years plus four other years because I needed to be a little older to tell a full grown men what to do, so you would end up with 9 years without an Alpha. Means that they were doing what they wanted to do. And by the time I became the Alpha I decided to keep it that way, together with some rules. I have some of my pack walking around looking if everyone is following the rules. If not the contact me and I'll go make a visit myself' I said.

'And what are those rules?' Dan asked curious. 'Dan come on you don't ask that' Derek growled at him. 'It's fine Derek' I said looking at him. He rolled his eyes. 'No murder, no raping, no steeling, no abusing your powers and they are not allowed to sell information to the Sangius pack and the Edison group' I said. 'Or else?' Derek asked. 'Depends on what they did. Murder, raping and selling information is the dead penalty. Steeling means breaking their hands and if they falling back in the same rhythm also dead penalty' I said.

'Dead penalty?' Dan asked with open mouth. 'Yes' I said calm. 'That is really a high punishment' Dan said. 'It is. And because it is, no one ever crossed the line' I said. 'And those scouts you have?' Dan asked. 'I actually call them my supervisors. But I see them once a month for a meeting nothing special actually' I said. 'How many are there?' Dan asked. 'That is something I'm not going to tell you' I said smiling. 'Why? Why not? That is the most simple question I asked of all' he said.

'Dan. Enough' Derek growled. 'Edison group huh, god I hate them' Dan mumbled. He was not the only one hating them. The Edison group was some sort of hunting group. They hunt everything supernatural down. Some they kill others they use to learn more about them. There are not many of them but they are dangerous. They know every strength and weakness of every creature that lives on this planet different from a normal human. There are going rumors around that they are trying to develop the strongest human race ever lived. Sick, if you ask me.

Four days passed by. It was Thursday night around eight o clock. I was done with my homework and decided to visit Derek. We always did it, if one of us was done with homework we visit the other until it was time to go to bed.

I opened the door and walked into Derek's room. I looked at his desk but he wasn't there. The shower was running so I decided to wait. When Derek walked out of the shower I was shocked. Not because he didn't wore his shirt as usual, but the way he looked. Tired puffed eyes, red face and sweaty.

Without saying anything he walked to his bed and crashed down. I quickly walked to him. I placed my hand on his forehead. 'You're burning' I said. This was not good not at all. Derek's wolf was pushing already and he needed to wait for two days before he could change. As I did the other time I grabbed some towels and soaked them in cold water. Derek didn't say a word, he was just staring to the ceiling.

'How do you feel?' I asked after fifteen minutes cooling him down. 'Terrible' he answered without looking away from the ceiling. 'Do you need an aspirin?' I asked. He didn't answer. 'Derek?' I said. His eyes moved to mine. He looked sad, really sad. 'What is it?' I asked careful. He looked away. 'Derek, tell me what is wrong?' I asked. 'I know' he said. 'Know what?' I asked. 'I know what happened' he said.

He was talking about our fight last weekend. Until now it was a big black hole into his memory but is seems like his wolf used it against him to push him over the edge to change. 'Derek it happened. My arm is almost healed and I'm not blaming you' I said. 'Do you know what was running through my mind!' he shout. He was sitting and staring at me. A bit shocked by his reaction I glared to him without knowing what to say.

He moved his head away looking at something else. 'I wanted to hurt you really bad, whatever the cost' he almost whispered. I saw one tear rolling over his cheek. One tear nothing more. I never thought I would see Derek leave a tear from his eye but he did. It made my heart almost break.

'You need to stay away from me until this stupid situation is over' he said. 'You don't scare me that easy' I said. 'Maybe not you, but it scares me. I have no idea what would happen if my wolf takes over again. It is angry, really angry' he said. 'So you just want to avoid it instead of facing it' I said. 'Riley I can't lose you. I just can't' he said. 'You don't think a stupid mind control of your wolf is going to wipe me of the map?' I said. 'I'm serious. I can't win, he is stronger. He knows where to get me' Derek said. 'You can win! I'm not going to stay away from you' I said. I grabbed his hand but he pulled back. I sighed.

'Have it your way' I said angry. I stood up and walked out of his room. Why? Why? Why? Was running through my mind. I was angry first at Derek but I couldn't be angry at him. I knew how he felt if been there too. After I almost killed Chloe I was scared too. I told her the same thing Derek told me, to stay away. But she didn't she stayed with me and I just walked away. What kind of shitty girlfriend am I. I stood up and walked back to Derek's room.

He was still sitting on his bed staring down. He didn't look up when I walked in. I placed myself next to him and pulled my knees up to my chest. 'I'm sorry' I said staring in front of me. 'I should not have walked away' I continued. Derek didn't answer. 'I know how you feel' I said. 'You don't' he said. 'I do, you feel weak, helpless, you are scared. Scared because you have no idea what will happen, scared because you going to hurt someone close. You are scared because there might me a chance you kill someone and you will never forgive yourself if you did. So the only option is isolation then you are sure you can't hurt someone' I said.

He looked at me. His mouth opened but there was no sound coming out. 'I'm not going to stay away. I'm going to help you, after all I promised your father to help you' I said. He still didn't say anything. It was strange to see Derek like this. He is always sober. If he showed any emotion it would be anger. Now he was showing fear. I grabbed his hand again. This time he didn't pull back. 'It's going to be alright' I said. When he looked away I kissed his cheek and rested my head on his shoulder.

We sat there for a half hour in silence. 'Are you not scared?' Derek asked. 'Not for you or your wolf if you mean that' I said. His hand moved over my cheek. I looked up staring into Derek's green eyes. 'I love you' he said before he kissed me careful. I felt relieved when he did.

'You need to rest' I said when he pulled back. I kissed him one more time before I left. 'Good night' I said. 'Good night' he said.

I woke up by the sound of a gunshot. I sat up straight in my bed with my eyes wide open. Derek! ran through my mind. Did he go outside? His wolf was pushing him today, so how far did it push? I jumped out of bed and ran to the door. I swung it open and looked to Derek's room. I sigh of relief left my mouth when I saw him standing outside as shocked as I was.

Behind him I saw Trevor running to us. The look on his face told me enough. Naomi went out to change this night.
