Dereks p.o.v
"What the hell's wrong with you? You can't come in here like-" I said as soon as me and Braedan were outside.
"What's wrong with me? Veronica's jealous, she put her hands on me!" Braedan defended.
"I told you to stop. This is her house as well, she doesn't need to see that!" I yelled back.
"Why? You said yourself there's nothing between you anymore?"
I was quiet. I still had feelings for her, I mean she's my mate.
"You still love her, don't you?" Braedan asked with an annoyed sigh.
"We're not together"
"That's not what I asked. I asked if you and that jealous cow-"
"I told you before, don't talk about her like that" I warned coming to stand in front of her.
"You piece of shit! Have you been cheating on me?" she accussed.
"We were never together Braedan!" I yelled back.
"So you did then?!"
"No I didn't. I never would"
"I bet you were fucking that bitch-"
"BRAEDAN!" I yelled getting her attention, "I don't want to continue whatever this is, i'll finish the english report on my own. Don't come back here looking for me again" I started walking towards the door.
"Derek! Don't do this!" Braedan yelled to my retreating form.
"Go home Braedan" I threw over my shoulder walking inside.
I walked into the dining room to see Ronnie, "Fucking hell..fucking Braedan ruining everything" I muttered under my breath.
I looked up and saw Peter kneeling over Ronnie. They were so close, their noses almost touching. Ronnie jumped to her feet, "Uh..you okay Derek?" she asked.
I glared dangerously at Peter, "I'm fucking fine" I said and went to my room, slamming the door closed behind me.
I've told Peter to back off. He's gunning for Ronnie and it looks like she's falling for him. My wolf was pacing and growling lowly. I fell back on the bed and sighed.
Knock, knock
"Ronnie, can it just wait till later?" I called out.
The room door opened and I shot up, "What the-"
"Easy brother" Peter said, smirking.
"Fuck off Peter" I said sitting back down.
"Now, now, no need for that" he said closing the door.
I got up and pinned him to the door, "Leave. Her. Alone." I spat.
"You don't own her Derek" he said cockily.
"She's my mate" I ground out.
"And you left her. Now both your wolves need to find new mates" Peter stated.
"Like she would go for a psycho" I said pushing harder againsit his throat.
"She went for you didn't she?" He said sarcastically.
I pulled him forward and smashed his back againist the door.
This is your last warning Peter" I said in warning.
"Derek? Peter? What's happening in there?" Ronnie said knocking on the door, sounding concerned.
"Last warning" I said again to Peter, letting him go and sitting back on the bed.
"Whatever you say big bad alpha" Peter threw back.
Ronnie opened the door and came running in but stopped seeing us just sitting, "Are you guys okay?" she asked slowly.
"We're fine" I told her without looking up.
"Just fine sweetheart" Peter said flashing her a smile. I growled at him. They both turned towards me.
"You sure?" Ronnie asked.
"Yeah, all smiles and hugs in here" Peter said sarcastically.
Ronnie eyed Peter and came to sit with me, "Everything okay?" she whispered. I knew Peter was listening, he was sitting on the other side of the room.
"Yeah.."
"Don't lie to me Derek"
"No, really..it's fine..just a family spat" I replied quietly.
"Derek..you know i'm here..like if you need to talk or something.." she said nervously.
I looked at her and squeezed her hand, "Thanks" I said softly. She nodded and stood. She walked past Peter and patted his shoulder, 'Play nice' she whispered to him and walked out closing the door again.
"Well. She's obviously concerned for us" Peter said smugly.
"Shut up" I barked at him.
"Well i'll leave you to brood Sourwolf" he said with a chuckle, leaving my room.
Fucking hell. Peter knows exactly how to wind me up.
Veronicas p.o.v
"I'm off. I'll have Lydia come round later today, she'll be dying to see you" Dean said grabbing his keys.
"Okay, thanks Dean. Love you!"
"Love you too!" he threw over his shoulder.
Peter came out of Derek's room smirking.
"Are you two alright now?" I asked finishing my breakfast from earlier.
"I will be if you give me your last piece of bacon" he said in a mock plead.
"Oh god" I said with an eyeroll as I pointed to my bacon.
He smiled and took it off my plate, eating it in a bite.
"Mmmmm. So you're a good cook too, what else are you good at?" Peter asked.
"Not much really.." I replied slightly embarassed.
"What else do you like to do?"
"I guess..draw and train"
"Nothing else?"
"Well there is one more thing.." I said slowly.
"What is it?" Peter asked with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Well I was a hunter before I was a werewolf. So, I like shooting guns, especially target practice. Havn't really gotten round to finding a target practice centre in Beacon Hills yet though.." I said realising how much of the hunter life I had left behind.
"I know a place" Peter said.
"A target practice centre?" I asked excitedly.
"No..but a place in the forest where the Argents used to teach their young hunter-to-bes to shoot. They don't go there anymore. I could take you there if you want?"
"Yes! I'll grab my guns and we'll go right now!" I said jumping out of my seat.
"Sure thing, i'll be waiting in Derek's camaro" Peter said with a smile.
I ran up the stairs to get my winchester and pistol.
Dereks p.o.v
Peter opened the door and came in again.
"Oh, what the fuck do you want now?" I all but growled.
"Settle down, I just want your keys, my car isn't going and I wanna go out" He said.
"They're on the desk" I said.
Peter walked over to the desk and picked them up, "I'll look after her"
"You better, that car wasn't cheap" I said.
"Hurry up Peter!" Ronnie yelled from the front door.
I realised Peter wasn't talking about the car but he was talking about Ronnie, "Where are you taking her?" I asked curious.
Peter's small smile turned into a full smirk, "Target practice, one of her hidden hunter talents" he said turning to leave.
"Wasn't hidden. I knew about it" I said quietly, feeling the need to point it out.
"Okay Derek" he said before leaving after Ronnie.
I just blew out an aggrivated breath and headed for the training room, not bothering to lock it.
Veronicas p.o.v
I was vibrating in my seat in anticipation and I knew Peter was getting a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything about it.
A few minutes later we stopped in a clearing.
"We're here" Peter said turning off the camaro.
"Okay, let's go!" I said jumping out the car holding the pistol in my hand and the winchester slung over my shoulder. I ran into the forest not even knowing where I was going but too excited to care.
"Ronnie! Slow down!" Peter yelled laughing as I ran through the forest.
I saw the targets and knew I was in the right place. I quickly ran over and swung my winchester into my hands, aiming at the target.
"So, just look though the-" he strated. Bang! I had already started. I almost got a bullseye. I looked at Peter and he did a small clap.
"We're gonna use this as part of your control training, focusing. So, fire away" he said.
And that's what I did.
An hour and a case of ammo later, me and Peter were driving back to the loft.
"That was so fun! Thanks so much Peter!" I yelled hugging him when we stopped outside the loft.
"Okay, okay. You're welcome" He said hugging me back.
"We better get inside, make sure Derek isn't being all broody as usual" I said.
"You know, you don't have to worry about him right?" Peter asked.
"I know but he's my mate..it's my responsibility" I told him.
"It's not Ronnie. Remember you promised me you would do what's best for you..Derek might not be that.." Peter said the last part quietly.
"Peter, i'm fine. I would still worry about him because he's pack, same way I worry about you" I said with a smile.
He smiled back and I opened the door, getting out.
I went into the loft and it was empty. I could hear someone in the training room and went to go see who it was.
Dereks p.o.v
I heard someone come into the training room. By their footsteps, I could tell it was Ronnie. She was careful and quiet but strong at the same time. She didn't say anything once she was inside but I could feel her eyes on me. I was doing pull-ups on the metal pipe.
"Enjoying yourself?" I asked sarcastically as I dropped to the floor.
"How do you even.." Ronnie whispered to herself, didn't escape my ears though.
I turned to her, "How was your day out with Peter?"
"Was really fun, I got in lots of target practice" she said softly.
"How was he? Peter I mean?" I asked her, my curiousity getting the best of me.
"He was fine..I mean, sarcastic as usual but fine" she answered a little confused.
"Good..I mean..that's good that you had fun.." I said awkwardly.
"Uh..Derek, are you sure you're okay? I mean what happened with Braedan this morning, I just didn't mean to butt in-" she started.
"No, no Ronnie, it's fine" she pretty much saved me. I stopped talking to her but she came back anyway, "I broke off whatever was going on between me and her..wasn't right, you know? I just..didn't care about her" I told her.
"Oh, well..i'm sorry"
"Don't be, i'm glad I did it..it didn't feel right doing that to-"
"VEE!" Lydia screamed and ran towards her, engulfing her in a bear hug.
"LYDIA!" Ronnie yelled back, hugging her.
They hugged and slowly the rest of the pack filed into the training room, giving Ronnie big hugs.
Stiles came up to me once he had hugged her and she was busy talking to everyone, "Were we interuptting something?" he asked with a smirk.
"What, no? Why?"
"Might wanna throw on a shirt big guy, I mean as much as I love those chiselled abs, Ronnie might not like me staring" he said sarcastically with a laugh.
I just shoved him softly and picked up my shirt, putting it back on. I walked into the crowd and up to Ronnie, "I'm gonna hit the shower, if you want anything just ask Pet-Uh..Scott"
"Thanks Derek, will do" she said with a big smile.
I walked out the training room heading for the bathroom and I bumped into Malia, "Shit sorry Malia" I said looking down, I knew she was angry about what happened between me and Ronnie.
"It's okay Derek. I..uh..i'm sorry for the way I acted..after the..you know.." she said.
"No, i'm sorry..i'm gonna call a pack meeting to decide what we do about it but..thanks" I said and she nodded.
"I'm gonna go see Ronnie" she said and then walked over to her, hugging her.
I nodded and went to have a shower.
I had to throw in some Stiles and Derek, every story needs a little Sterek fluff :) R&R, favourite and follow guys :)
