Chapter Ten

Derek's POV (Fifteen Years old)

I sat in class Kate who was asking me about my sixteenth birthday in a month. Her eighteen having passed a month ago. "Graduating at sixteen, family must be proud." She said hand on my thigh, again, I moved it to her own. "They are. Can we focus on this project?" I asked trying to get back on track Stiles and I were going to watch Harry Potter when I got home. He was spending the weekend with us while his dad worked a forty hour shift then ten hours later a twelve hour shift. So I had my mate pretty much to myself, I was excited for it. "Alright I'm done." Kate sighed and everything went dark.

I found myself tied to a chair. "There's Wolfsbane in the chains sweetie." Kate told me. I saw the chains were hooked up to a car battery. "I haven't done anything wrong." I begged. "See that's where you're wrong. You're a werewolf. Your existence is unnecessary. Also you denied this?" she waved at herself. "Werewolves have mates. I want to save myself for my mate." I told her. "You aren't my mate." She laughed. "I really don't care."

It was dark outside when she left for food. I managed to free myself before she came back. I grabbed my pants, t-shirt, backpack everything and ran. I ran all the way home. I ignored everyone and went straight to my room where Stiles. Sweet innocent Stiles. Stiles who would never hurt me. Stiles who would die to protect me if I would let him fight for me in the first place. I collapsed in bed next to him his smile fell the moment he saw my tears. "Derek what's wrong." I just curled up head in his lap and cried.

After almost an hour I'd calmed down enough to talk. "You know the lab partner I'd told you about?" I asked him. He nodded confused, "The one who keeps flirting." He said simply. "She raped me." Stiles froze. "She knew I was a wolf so she used Wolfsbane and electricity to hold me down. She didn't like that I'd denied her." I said voice scratchy from crying. "I got away and ran here." The twelve year old cried as he held me and we cried together.

The next morning Stiles had convinced Peter to have everyone but my mother and himself leave. Stiles sat across from my mother and uncle with me holding my hand as I told her exactly what Kate had done. She cried as Peter swore revenge and hugged me. "We have to call John. He can write up an official report. We won't do anything you don't want to sweetie." I winced and my mother cried. "I'm sorry honey. Nothing you don't want but I want you to talk to Stiles's father he can tell you what can be done legally." She told me I nodded.

Throughout the entire day Stiles remained still as I talked to his father. I couldn't do anything legally but he had me go to the hospital and Mrs. McCall do some tests to make sure nothing was broken, my mother with me the whole time Stiles, if not by my side then waiting on the other side of the door to be let in. All of this was for when I was ready to testify. They took pictures of the bruises caused by the chains and because of the Wolfsbane it refused to heal quickly.

Present Day

Derek's POV

I watched Stiles, "Whatever this alpha wants I think it has to do with the fire." He said going over the reports of my family's fire, it was almost midnight. "Stiles come to bed. You have school. In less than eight hours." I insisted he made a strange noise then flopped on top of me. "Ow. You're like a rock. No cushion." He sighed, "It's okay though cause you have a hot body." I rolled my eyes at him. "Sleep my mate." I smiled and held him tight.

The next morning, I woke up and freed myself from Stiles. When I got downstairs John was laying on the couch with a bag of frozen peas on his hip. "What happened?" I asked kneeling next to him. "I got hit by a car. Don't tell Stiles he'll blow it out of proportion." He told me. "No we both will. John did you go to the hospital?" I asked sitting across from him. "Are you in any pain?" he smiled at me. "Son, I can promise you I'm fine. Just not as young as I used to be. Can't bounce back like I used to. Limps almost gone." "Limp? What happened?" Stiles asked instantly fully awake. "Your dad got hit by a car last night." I told him. "What? Scott was there why didn't he tell me?" he asked himself. "Did you get checked out at least?" "Mellissa checked me over before letting me leave the parking lot last night even got a day of desk duty. Two if I'm still sore tomorrow." John promised us. "Derek your brining him lunch. Make sure he's not over working himself too much." Stiles started ranting about how to take care of his dad, nothing he hadn't told me multiple times before.
