Chapter 20

When Derek dropped off Stiles he was angry, pissed, not just at Damien but at himself. He knew that Damien leaving was something that Stiles should've known. He just wanted to give Damien time.

Derek got home and was blessed with the site of his pack on the couch, lounging. They were all watching TV, Isaac's head was in Erica's lap and Boyd was sitting on the floor by her legs. A bag of chips in each of their hands, they greeted him with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Alpha" Erica greeted.

Derek wasn't particularly in the mood to talk, so he settled for the silent and made his way to the basement. He calmly shut the door and made way down stairs, each step creaking. When they were renovating the house, Stiles wanted to him to make a workout room, something that he felt Derek needed to blow off steam. Derek wasn't receptive to the idea at first but now he could see the appeal.

He approached the punching bag, intent on doing the most damage he could. He sent jab after jab into it, imaging it was an enemy that needed to be destroyed. He thought about the way Stiles looked at him with anger and disappointment, like he had made the wrong choice.

The thought made Derek even angrier, the strength he put into his jabs increased.

"Umm…who pissed Derek off?"

He turned around to find his pack on the steps each one looking at him with curiosity; they were no longer scared of his temper tantrums. They knew he would never hurt them if it wasn't for training.

"Nobody," Derek growled and continued with his destructive punches.

"Really because you seem pretty mad to me," Erica supplied

Derek sighed and looked at his pack again, sending an angry glare their way. Boyd rolled his eyes "Look, obviously something is bothering you; we're your pack so tell us".

Derek nodded his head, he knew they were right he just wasn't big on sharing his feelings.

"Ok…I messed up with Stiles," Derek said.

Isaac looked big-eyed at the news, Erica looked somewhat annoyed and most times he could see through the mask of calm Boyd always had.

"It's only been a week, what did you do?" Isaac asked.

Derek threw his hands up in frustration, "I…didn't tell him Damien was leaving until today and I've known for a while."

"Oh," Isaac said.

Erica nodded "Yeah, I'm with Stiles, you should've told him." Boyd and Isaac nodded in agreement.

Derek scoffed "Yeah I know that now, I just wanted Damien to tell him himself."

"OK but after a few days, you knew it wasn't likely to happen you should've told him," Boyd said.

Derek growled at them anger quickly becoming obvious, "Ok, we've establish that I should've told him, what am I supposed to do now?"

They all looked thoughtful for a minute thinking of possible ways he could get into good grace.

Isaac presented first "Umm, how about flowers?" Derek responded with a snarl.

"He's not a girl, how about a game, he's a super geek for those," Erica said.

Derek considered for a moment, a game wouldn't Stiles didn't play them all the time and talk about them to. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get him and if it got Stiles to stop being mad at him then that was a good thing.

"How about you just apologize," Boyd said

Isaac and Erica nodded in agreement "yeah but with the game," she said.

Derek rolled his eyes "Ok, but I don't know what he plays"

Erica smiled and it was a devilish one "Oh, but we do." Erica and Isaac smiled at each other, glee written on their faces.

"You know what that means "Isaac said, Erica yelped with joy "Shopping!" they yelled at the same time.

Derek shook his head "My pack is full of kids"

Derek clearly stated that they were just going to run in get a game and run but as soon as they got into the mall, Erica and Isaac quickly ditched them in favor of a clothing store.

Derek sighed at there antics and turned to Boyd who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Come on" Derek growled.

They quickly made it to BestBuy, only to be clearly lost on wear to go. They looked around for a minutes, seeing IPods, flat screen TVs and other electronics but still completely missing the game section.

While looking around Derek could feel someone eyes on him and turn to find a tall, blond girl hiding behind a stack of CDs staring at him.

He looked at Boyd, who just shrugged, which seem to be his usual reply when Derek though something was weird.

"She's an employee, ask where the games are at so maybe we can go," Boyd said.

Derek was stumped at Boyd suggestion. He wasn't the best at communication especially when it was someone completely unknown.

Derek groaned, he turned around flashing his best smile "Hi, miss I'm looking for the game section, do you know where it's at?"

She only stared at him in shock, mouth open. For a moment Derek thought he over did it but she quickly shook of whatever stupor that had taken over her.

She came from behind the stack of CDs, blue employee shirt loosely on her. She had a few ring through the top of her ear and she had a sweet smile "Yes, yes I do know where it's at, umm follow me…um sir"

Derek slyly smiled at her one more time, making her heart beat faster. He heard a chuckle and shot a glare towards Boyd.

The game section wasn't very far from where they were just a few aisles over. The girl turned around, her hand twitching. Derek could tell that she was nervous, he looked at her nametag "Umm Brianna, I'm looking for something called a MMORPG, I think it's called"

He turned to Boyd for confirmation, and he nodded his head. Derek was just glad it wasn't shrug because he would've been screwed then. He turned back to Brianna and she was twirling her hair, Derek had to resist the urge to roll his eyes.

"Oh, you mean massively multiplayer online role-playing game, well I play them myself so I know them well," she nervously chuckled.

Derek nodded, just slightly interested in what she was saying. He had the same reaction when Stiles went off about something called World of Warcraft, he barely paid attention. Sometimes it was because he was just watching Stiles, the way he constantly gestured and spoke with joy. It was sight to see, his brown eyes lighting up when talking about it.

"So we have, three really good ones, there Guild Wars 2, Secret World and Aion, personally I think that Guild Wars 2 is like the best one but…" She turned to him, quickly realizing the she was ranting "Sorry"

Derek shook his head and chuckled "No, it's ok I'm used to it, I'll take all three"

Her face was full of shock "Oh, really umm ok let me just get these for you and ring you up," she nervously picked up all three and turned around walking to the register.

Derek followed behind, waiting as she anxiously ringed up the games "OK, it's uh $153.26"

Derek nodded his head and pulled out his card, handing it to her, she anxiously took the card, taking a peek at his name.

"Derek Hale, huh that's a nice name," she said slightly blushing.

He softly smiled and her face got even redder "Thank you," Boyd was standing next to him and started chuckling at the sight.

"I don't really see you as the gamer type," She said.

Derek chuckled "I'm not, I don't get the appeal at all, my-"

"His boyfriend is the gamer actually," Derek sighed knowing exactly who cut him off. He turned to find Erica and Isaac, they had seemed to go on a shopping spree during their disappearance. Erica had on a new pair of glasses and brown leather coat and Isaac's arms were filled with shopping bags.

"Erica, babe we were just ringing up Stiles gifts," Boyd grabbed her waist, pecking her cheek. Erica wasn't focusing on Him though she was focused, on the girl, Brianna.

Derek shook his head knowing that this shopping trip was going to quickly be put to an end, before Derek ripped the poor girl apart. Derek could tell she was attracted to him, hell he could smell but he needed help finding out right games and she did, being polite can take anyone along way.

The girl started blushing even harder "Oh, I didn't know umm it's really sweet that you're buying all this for him," she smiled softly embarrassed by what just happened.

"Yes, it is and that's because he loves him very much" Erica sneered out.

Derek growled at with anger "Erica, stop"

She looked at him eyes full of defiance and for a second Derek thought that she was going to challenge him but she backed down, rolling her eyes and walking away.

Derek sighed, turned back towards Brianna "Sorry about her, that's my little sister, she has a bit of temper"

Isaac snorted "pot calling the kettle black"

Derek jaw tightened, already irritated with Erica, he didn't want any of Isaac's sly comments. Brianna quickly handed him the card back and put his gifts into the sack.

Derek to it, giving one more soft smile "Thank you," He turned to the three werewolves he called his pack, anger apparent on his face "You three, let's go now"

When they got into the car Derek was about ready to explode "What the hell was that?"

Erica was silently picking at her nails, uninterested in the conversation "I don't know what you're talking about"

Derek growled at her "You know what I mean"

Erica rolled her eyes "That girl was all over you, I could practically smell her half-way across the damn mall, why where you flirting with her anyway?"

Derek scoffed "I wasn't flirting and I needed help finding the games, since you two left," Isaac and Erica looked away guilt on their faces.

Derek sighed, not liking the way the conversation went, "Just…don't do it again." He felt a vibration in his pocket. He pulled out his phone seeing that he had a message from Damien. He opened it, surprised at what it contained:

Stiles in trouble, the Order attacking his house

Rage and fear filled Derek, he didn't know what was happening. He just knew he had to get to Stiles fast. He was surprised that Damien was their but thankful he was there when they did. If anyone could protect Stiles it was him.

Derek threw the phone to Erica, who quickly caught it

"Call Lydia, tell her Stiles is in trouble and to meet us at his house"

A look of confusion covered Erica's face "What…is he okay?"

"What's happening?" Isaac asked.

"Did someone hurt him?" Boyd asked.

"I don't know, Damien texted me and told me they were being attacked," Derek yelled.

He revved up the engine and sped to Stiles house, mind full of worry.

When Derek got there, the house was totally quiet he didn't see anything at all. Jackson's sport car pulled up next to them, the window slowly slid down to reveal to Allison. He didn't know why she was there but any help was welcome.

"What's happening?" she asked.

Derek shook his head "I don't know, let's see."

They both pulled over and everyone got out of the car. Derek saw Damien's trunk and he could tell that something was wrong.

Scott, Jackson and Lydia all looked worried. His pack was anxious to break and see what he was happening "Ok everyone, stay calm and low, I'm pretty sure Damien can sense us, we just need to know what the situation is like" Derek said.

Derek looked around the house and saw the window that Stiles always left open for him. He pointed it at signaling the others. They nodded catching his drift. Lydia shook her head and walked towards the front door.

"What are you doing" Jackson whispered harshly.

"I don't have acrobatic abilities like you werewolves and I have a key to unlock the front door, so you, Scott and Allison should come with me" she whispered back.

Derek nodded, the element of surprise was with them and it was better to split up. They climbed the house and silently slipped in. Derek shifted and they followed his direction, shifting also. They slowly crept down, he focused his hearing and could hear Damien screaming that he wouldn't let her touch.

They increased their pace, he came down the stairs to see a blinding white light being held by a woman, he knew to be Damien's mother. She was standing in front of Stiles, who had a man behind him holding him down. He could see was being held too.

"Derek now!" Damien yelled.

Derek let the anger at seeing Stiles being held fill him, he ran towards the man, quickly grabbing his head and twisting it to the point where the man's head was backwards. The man was a man at all he didn't know what it was, it didn't have a face at all.

The one holding Damien quickly caught on fire and Derek knew that the others had made it. He was thankful for Lydia's spell, he didn't know if he could get Damien before he got hurt.

Damien quickly jumped over the table, where the sheriff lay sleeping and grabbed his mother, stabbing her in the gut and twisting it. He could hear everything they said, the whole conversation and he knew exactly what Damien was feeling in that moment. Peter looked at him the same way, he blamed him for the destruction of their family and he couldn't blame him because it was true.

He silently watched with everyone else when he snapped her neck. The body slumped to the floor and Derek thought it was over, the reason for Damien leaving and the one who had cursed Stiles was dead. He was surprised to learn that it wasn't, the Order leader was a fake and with seeing the way this Homunculus could copy anybody, he knew that it was going to be a long and hard fight for Damien if he was going to go at it alone.

Derek sighed, emotionally exhausted from his talk with Damien. He could tell that he was hurting and he didn't want Damien to go through the pain and guilt that he went through when he killed Peter.

He went down stairs and seeing everyone sitting in the living room. Stiles was pacing around and everyone's eyes were watching him. Derek slowly approached Stiles and waited till he turned around, he caught him, hugging him close and glad that he as okay.

"You keep scaring me, you gotta stop doing that," Derek whispered.

Stiles gripped him tighter "I wish I could promise that I won't but we both know that I will"

"Umm…guys these bodies are like disappearing," Scott said.

They let go of each other and everyone ran to the kitchen, watching as the homunculus started to dissolve into vapor until everything was gone. There was silence for a moment, nobody knew how to respond to what happened.

Stiles sighed "Well, at like we don't have to clean up the bodies"

Everyone laughed but it wasn't a joyous one, it was one full of anxiety and worry. "Okay, now that I know that you're ok, we will be leaving now and I will look up everything about homunculus' tonight" Lydia said kissing Stiles on the cheek and walking towards the front door. Jackson and Allison said their goodbyes and followed after her.

Scott grabbed Stiles and hugged him close "I'm glad you're alright." They let go of each other and then Isaac went to Scott and kissed him before he left.

The pack smiled at him and Stiles already knew what was coming, they all jumped on him making a puppy pile. They all laughed and Derek watched them, happy that Stiles was alright and his pack being happy too. The pack left soon after, Derek telling them he wanted to stay with Stiles. They understood that he wanted to make sure Stiles was safe and that he didn't want to leave him alone for a while.

"So, all alone, Dad is knocked out by a sleeping spell so we practically have the whole house to ourselves," Stiles said.

Derek chuckled and took Stiles upstairs into his room. He closed the window and turned to Stiles, who looked exhausted. He wanted Stiles to be happy and safe, and he was going to give that to Stiles tonight.

He pulled Stiles to him, slid his hand under his shirt. Stiles breathing and heartbeat sped up. He could feel the warmth of his skin and he wanted to bury his nose into it and take in Stiles' scent. He pulled the shirt up and off of him, revealing Stiles' body. Stiles started to blush and began to cover himself, Derek caught his hands and shook his head "No, you're perfect". Stiles looked at him with awe and surprise.

Derek grabbed Stiles' face pulling him towards him. He kissed him and it was full of passion, their tongues rolling together, each one searching for dominance over the other. Derek bent down and grabbed Stiles' thighs, picking him and putting them around his waist.

Derek laid him down on the bed; he bit Stiles bottom lip making him groan in pleasure. Stiles grabbed at his shirt and they pulled away, Derek pulled it off and threw it on the floor. They kissed again and Derek pulled away pecking Stiles on forehead, he slowly trailed his fingers down Stiles' body, making him moan and tremble. He unbuttoned his pants and pulled them off, laying them on the floor.

"Ok, now take off your clothes," Stiles said panting.

Derek chuckled "I was only undressing you for bed, I'm sorry I got a little carried away"

Stiles mouth dropped in shock "But you…and we were…why" he threw his hand up in frustration "You are like the biggest tease ever"

Derek slowly bent down, trailing kisses up to Stiles ear making him gasp "I'm promise it's going to be worth it" He pulled away laughing at Stiles shocked expression, and got his shirt.

"Hey, where are you going?" Stiles asked.

"I'm leaving I just-"

Stiles quickly got off the bed and grabbed his hand. Derek looked at him, eyebrow raised. Stiles shook his head "Don't look at me like that and don't get me all riled up and just up and leave"

Derek laughed softly "Stiles-"

"I want you to stay, Derek with me, please"

Derek couldn't say no to him, not with his brown eyes pleading with him. He nodded and Stiles pulled him back to bed, pulling the covers over them. Stiles laid his head on his chest and Derek pulled him closer, arm around his shoulder and waist.

He quickly fell asleep with Stiles safe in his arms.

When they had gotten up that morning it wasn't awkward at all. They both slowly awoke and each took a shower, Stiles wanted to take on together but Derek knew he wouldn't be able to control himself if he did.

The sheriff was still sleep, so they had ample time to get dressed and eat breakfast in comfortable silence.

"I need to go see Damien," Stiles said.

Derek nodded "OK" he had questions that he wanted to ask him too.

They got into Derek's car and the first thing that Stiles noticed was the bag "You went to BestBuy?"

Derek sighed and grabbed the bag handing it to Stiles. He took look inside that bag and his eyes suddenly got big "Why would you…oh my god are these for me?"

Derek nodded, softly smiling at the happiness that Stiles was radiating. Stiles jumped up and suddenly pulled him to him, kissing him.

They pulled away after a while "I say sorry for the whole Damien situation"

"And you bought me three of the best MMORPG's to back it up, best boyfriend ever" Stiles said smiling softly.

The whole ride to Damien's house, Stiles was talking about what type of character he would play and which one he should play first. Derek was just happy to see him happy.

XXX

They made it to his house and Derek was surprised to see that the house was small, well smaller than he thought it would be considering the Order money Damien said he had saved up. They came up towards the front door and Stiles began to ring the doorbell.

Who opened the door was not Damien but a tall, beautiful green-eyed woman, who only wore a button-up shirt that wasn't buttoned and barely covered her breast.

She smiled and somehow it reminded him of Kate "Oh, Hi you must be Stiles and you must be the Alpha, Derek"

When Stiles got his jaw off the floor, he was able to speak "Who the hell are you?"

"Hey Mila, who's at the door?" Damien came up behind, wearing nothing but black briefs.

Stiles eyes got big "Did you sleep with her?" He yelled.
