Allison grinned like an idiot. "So where are you guys living?"

"Hale house. I began rebuilding it a couple of months before arriving. It was just finished today." Derek held his hand out for her. "Want to come see it?"

"Sure."

The drive wasn't even shorter, since the house was in the woods. She remembered stumbling onto it on one of her morning jogs. When she asked her father about it, he just told her it was one of the darkest times for beacon hills. She never dared on trespassing, knowing the disrespect it can have. But it was nothing like it was before.

The house-or mansion- was beautiful. It was the color of wood, the top second level was half glass which showed the kitchen and living room. It looked amazing, but before she was even able to see the house they had driven thru a gate. Derek had punched in a code to let them in. as he parked his car next to the others, the pack ran out.

"So she accept?" Aiden asked.

Derek gave him a look. "What do you think?"

"Use your nose stupid." Ethan teased.

"Welcome to the hale pack!" Erica squealed, pulling her into a huge hug. "Tomorrow we are going shopping!"

Allison just nodded, she did like shopping. Glancing back at Derek she frowned at the look of worry on his face, as he talked to the twins. But before she could walk toward him, Erica pulled her into the house.

It was even more beautiful from the inside. Walking thru the front door was a huge empty space. There was a table in the center, some pictures hanging and tables against the wall. They held the keys and little decorations. Hanging from the ceiling was a chandelier, one of the biggest she has ever seen. On the right were stairs leading up to the second floor. To the left was a another room and straight ahead was a hallway.

Derek appeared beside her, placing a hand on the small of her back he smiled gently. "Let me give you the grand tour." Leading her to the left, she walked into the room. "This is one of the living rooms, mostly where they hang out when we have visitors." Walking straight he opened another door. "This is the kitchen, and that door leads to the back yard." He took her back to the begging and down the hallway, where there were three doors. He pointed to two of the doors, one being the bathroom and the other a guest room. Which held nothing, but a bed, dresser, tv, and desk. The last door was Derek's office. It looked so dull, too serious, but it suited him. He had many pictures of her and the rest of the families, along with his diplomas and work photos. Walking up the stairs she stopped on the top, they could go left or right. Derek took her to the left, where there were two doors. One held a game room, the other a tv room where they would watch movies together. Reaching the end of that hallway, they walked into a clearing where another living room stood, but this on had two of the wall made into shelves which held books. It was amazing, they even had a ladder attached to it, so they could reach the top. The rest of the walls were made of glass, giving them an amazing view of the woods. On the back of the room was a kitchen. "This is where we normally hang out when alone in the house." Derek said. After she looked around for a bit, he led her to the opposite direction. The other hallway had six doors. "These are the bedrooms, mine is the first door on the right." Grabbing her hand, he led her into a bare room. It just had a bed. "This one is yours. I didn't have it decorated, since the others did their own and I knew you would as well."

Allison frowned. "Mine?"

"Yes, you are part of my pack and even if you weren't, you would always have a place here." Derek grabbed her hands in his. "Besides it was also a promise I made to you."

Allison was confused. "What?"

"When you were little, you said you wanted to live with me. I promised you I would one day take you to live with me." He then smiled. "Granted you also had me promise we would get married one day." Laughing at her blushing face, he pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry, you can pay up later. Tomorrow when you go shopping, pick out what you want for your room."

Allison pulled away fast, shaking her head. "No. I won't have you pay for my stuff. You already did a lot with giving me a place in your home."

Derek sighed. "You always were hard headed. I don't care for the money Ally. I have enough to live two life times, I use that money to make sure my pack and now you have a good and happy life. Granted I don't spoil them, but I do like to take care of them. You have always been an important, person in my life and I now have the opportunity to give you everything I promised as kids."

She was touched by his words, she knew he wasn't an easy person to open up. But the fact that he was meant a lot to her. "Fine, but this will not become a habit. Deal?"

"Deal." As they walked back down, he turned to her. "I called Chris and he's fine with you staying the night. Stiles will be bringing you some overnight clothes. Tomorrow you can buy some clothes to leave here."

"Okay."

The rest of the day was amazing, Erica and Allison drove the boys crazy with their talks. Derek called it quits when the subjects of boys and kissing popped up. He did not want to know about Erica's and Boyd's love life, much less Allison's. They had dinner, the teens finished their homework, followed by a movie. Allison had fallen asleep, with her head on Derek's lap. By the time the end credits rolled on the screen the door bell was rang.

"One of you go answer that. It's stiles, I'm going to go lay her on my bed." Derek said.

Erica raised an eye brow. "Don't you mean her bed?"

Derek shook his head, as he picked her up. "No, the room is empty and the bed has no sheets on it. she'll sleep on my bed for the night." He knew what they were thinking, but it wasn't like that. Or was it?

Erica smirked at her alpha, she had noticed a different smell on Allison after the scent marking. She smelled more like an alpha, then that of pack member. That usually only happens when the alpha has marked her not only as a member, but as soon to be his mate. The thing was that werewolves didn't have mates chosen for them, by some magical connection. That is just some mystical thing humans have created. The alpha was the only one able to choose his own mate, meaning that once he has chosen her/him it was for life. Unlike the betas, they can date whoever and dumb whoever.

As Isaac opened the door, he frowned at the multiply smells. He jumped at the sudden numbers of werewolves and other's on the other side on the door. Looks like Scott and his pack came. "H-hi." Isaac whispered.

Stiles smiled gently at the beta. "Hey, I'm stiles. Umm-Chris asked to bring some clothes for Allison."

"Oh yeah! Give me one sec." Isaac turned around, just as Derek carried a sleeping Allison up the stairs. "Derek?"

Derek paused on half way up. "Have them come in Isaac. I'll be down in a moment." With that note he continued his task.

"Well come in." Stepping to the side, they walked in.

Jackson hummed In approval. "Your brother is loaded."

Scott just rolled his eyes, growling at his beta. As they walked into the living room, he stopped at the growl he got from the she-wolf.

"Erica it's fine, Derek said to let them in." Isaac explained.

Erica just huffed. "Whatever."

They sat quietly for a few, until Derek walked into the room.

"Thanks Stiles." Derek smiled, handing the bag to Erica. "Can you take this up to my room please. Try to wake her up and have her change." With pleasure of getting away from the other pack, she jogged away.

Scott growled at his words. "Your room?"

"Yes, hers is not finished. So she will be sleeping mine, while I take the couch." Derek explained. Taking a seat by Isaac he sighed. "Scott, I don't want there to be problems between us or the packs. Allison is friends with you and your pack. I hope her being with us, will not affect any of that."

Scott sighed. "No, look Derek I'm sorry alright. It just we have been having problems and with you coming back is just too much. I have been the only alpha for three years now as well as the protector of beacon hills."

"I know, but you need to understand that this is where I was born. This town has been protected by the Hale family generations back. I have to take my place in that line of history, that is what the name Hale is. You wouldn't be the first nor the last alpha to in beacon hills, but you are not meant to watch over this town." Derek said.

"So we should do what leave? Let you take over?" Scott growled.

Derek shook his head. "No, but you are a teenager. You have a lot to live for. You have no need to focus on what happens around here. As of this moment I am taking back my family's turf. You need to go back being a teen. I know your grades have been going down, focus on that."

"You can't just push me out."

"I'm not and I won't." Derek ran a hand thru his hair. "How about this. If I really need your help, I will call you. But I don't want you to put your life on hold for something that is my responsibility."

Scott turned to his pack, looking at each one. "What do you guys think?"

Lydia leaned forward. "I say yes, we have put everything on hold, to keep this place safe."

"Besides you didn't chose this. It was forced on you; why should you pay for what that Peter did to you." Malia agreed.

Derek knew she was peter's daughter, but because of his uncle's blood running thru her, it made him a little hesitant to reach out to her. "Speaking of peter. Where is he?" Derek asked.

Malia glared at him. "Who knows."

Lydia nudges her. "He's staying with a friend last thing we heard."

Derek nodded. "Still in town?" Scott nodded.

"Why?" Malia demanded.

Derek's eyes flashed involuntary. "Well he is my uncle. Just wanted to say hi."

"Leave him alone. He's better now." Malia defended.

Derek titled his head to the side, but decided not to comment. "So Scott, we have a deal?" He held his hand out for him.

Scott shook it. "Yeah."

"Good, now you might want to spend the night here. It's late and the woods are never safe." Derek offered.

"I think we will be fine." Malia argued.

Derek growled, but swallowed his comeback. They were not his wolves to discipline. "Just humor me. The twins will show you were to sleep, now scram you are in my bed." Waiting for them to leave, he removed his shirt and pants. Falling on all four Derek groaned and moaned as his bones readjusted. It was always painful after a while of not shifting. Releasing a growl Derek fell to his side, as his legs and arms changed.

Scott and Stiles ran into the living room after hearing the noise. They were shocked to see their brother in half transformation. They have heard that only a few werewolves were capable of shifting into a full wolf. But they have never seen it, Stiles moved to help, but Scott stopped him. They didn't know what changes came with this, he could easily attack them. It wasn't long until a midnight wolf appeared.

Derek laid on his side, panting with exhaustion. He waited until he was sure he was okay to stand up. He was bigger than the last time he shifted, and that was a year ago. So it would take a bit getting used to his size. A bigger wolf meant heavier weight when running, but powerful body. The thing about an alpha was that he was both fast and strong, but he wasn't the only one. Isaac, Erica and Aiden were the fast ones. Boyd and Ethan were the muscles. Adding Allison was a good move, she was both fast and stealth. Plus her hunter skills were a good addition to the pack, but it was having her close that he liked the most. Stretching himself, Derek shook his fur off. As he turned around, he was met with his brothers.

"Dude." Stiles whispered. "You're an actual wolf!" Derek simply licked his lips.

Scott just looked at him. "Can you understand us?" Derek nodded. "Wow. Well we will just head off to bed."

"But-" Stiles groaned as he was hauled away, complaining about not being able to touch him.

Derek shook his head in amusement as he headed for the door, woofing at Isaac as he held the door for him. Somehow that kid always knew when he was going for a run. Dashing into the woods he inhaled every last scent he could, memories of his past flooding his mind. Runs with his family, with Allison. The many fights between his and other packs and treaties with others. He also remembered the horrible ones, finding his father shot, his uncle fucking Kate Argent, and his sister dead. In these woods his uncle also told him, that it was his fault Kate killed them all. She wanted to become his mate, but he denied her. Peter was in love with Melissa, but she was still married with Ralph. He still hasn't and never will forget him for that. Because of him, everyone died. Reaching the river, he jumped into the water. It felt amazing on his paws. On his way back he walked, not wanting to walk into the house wet.

Reaching the door he shifted, not caring he was naked since everyone was asleep. Walking in he bumped into someone.

"Uff." Allison groaned as she hit the floor. "Who?"

"Shit, sorry ally I didn't see you." Derek grabbed her hand, picking her up. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. You-" Her eyes widen. Just then she noticed he was completely naked. "Are naked!" Turning around she covered her eyes. "Oh god I'm sorry Derek."

Derek just stood there, a goofy smiled on his face. "You've never seen a naked man before?"

Allison blushed. "Derek!"

"What? Just asking." Walking up to her he leaned down to her ear. "You might want to get used to it."

"Oh god." She mumbled, trying to keep her blush hidden and heart steady.

"I'll get dressed." Derek chuckled. Grabbing his shirt and pants he walked back to her. pulling her hands away from her face, he tilted her head up to him. "You can look already."

"Wh-what where you doing?" She cleared her throat, surprise to actually feeling disappointed at him dressed.

Derek waked with her to the kitchen. "I went for a run and when I came back to the door was close. Which was strange since Isaac always leaves it open."

Allison looked up at him sheeply. "That was my fault, I thought someone left it open on accident."

Derek grabbed two cups. "So you are to blame."

"Sorry."

"Don't be, I rather liked the surprise." Derek teased, he loved how red and nervous she got. Grabbing her hands he entwined them. "I'm just playing ally."

"I know der."

Allison had convinced him to sleep with her on the bed, saying the couch and floor would hurt his back. He had to admit it was the best sleep he has had in years. Waking up Derek sighed happily at seeing her snuggled up to him. One of her legs were draped over his, a hand over his stomach and her head on his chest. A man could get used to waking up like this. Glancing at the time, he groaned. He had lacrosse practice at 10am, and 8 members of the team in his house. he had three hours to get up, showered, dressed, make sure everyone was up and dressed. The toughest part making sure they were all fed.

Allison was awaken by her bed partners movement. "shhh, too early."

Derek scoffed. "I have to get up."

"Why?" she wasn't even faced by the fact, that half her body was on Derek.

"I have lacrosse practice in three hours and 8 of the members are here. I have to wake them up and then get showered. Not mention they have to eat." Derek grumbled.

Allison giggled, looking up at him she grinned. "How about you leave breakfast to me. Just make sure they are up and get ready."

"Thank you."

Giving him a peck on the lips, she jumped out of bed and rushed downstairs. It was in the kitchen that she realized what she did. Holy shit! She kissed him! why would she do that?! Pushing that back, she decided on making the food.

Derek on the other hand laid in bed, frozen in both shock and pleasure. He was shocked she even kissed him, but the pleasure of knowing she did like him. what he wanted to know was if that was just a reflex or if it meant something? With an annoyed groan he banged on every door waking up everyone. He couldn't stop think of her lips on his, it was just a peck, but he felt everything. Leaning against the showers wall he sighed, what is she did like him. how will the others react? He knew Scott had feelings for her, he seen the way he acted around her or when he got close to her. And Chris. What would he say? He had a lot to figure out.

Allison was done with breakfast by the time everyone popped in. "Alright grab a plate! We have eggs, bacon, toast, and fries!" Seeing Derek walk in she turned away.

Derek grabbed a plate, standing beside her he noticed how nervous she was. "You okay?" She just nodded. "Can we talk after breakfast." He once more got a nod. Leaning down he kissed her on the cheek. "Thank you."

She frowned, not knowing what to think about his behavior. Was he mad? Annoyed? Maybe he will kick her out of the pack because of that! She has heard about alphas doing that. Oh god!

"Allison you okay?" Lydia asked.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine." Grabbing her plated she took a seat beside Scott. Unaware of the looks on both Kira and Derek. Both upset for different reasons, but at the same thing.
