Derek had dropped off Allison at her home. She and Lydia were to work on some school project for day. He didn't mind it gave him enough time to prepare the small date. Well he thought of it as a date, but in reality it was more of a welcome to the pack dinner. The pack was to be there as well as the rest of the family. Which included his and hers and her previous pack. He didn't understand Scott and his stupidity to take Peter into his pack. He knew his uncle and knowing the mutt of a wolf he was, Peter will wait for the right moment to attack. He never saw it fair that Thalia was the alpha and he was the last in line. Seeing as after Thalia it was her kids. He just hopes Scott wouldn't dare and being that mutt here.

Melissa was getting ready for the dinner at Derek's home. She was happy Allison found a place to fit in right. With Scott she was pack, but she seemed more like the omega than a beta. She had no rightful place. But with a Derek she had her spot whether it was as lead beta or alpha female. Laughing she couldn't wait to see Chris's face when he discovers the attraction between the two of them. Hearing the door open, she knew Scott was home. And by the sound of footsteps so was his pack. Walking down the stairs, She smiled at the teens.

"You all ready?" Glancing at Scott she frowned. "Go get fixed up Scott. You look like something a wolf dragged in."

Scott groaned. "It's just dinner mom."

"It's a family dinner Scott." All heads turned to John as he walled out of the kitchen. Gone was his uniform, replaced by black slacks and a baby blue dress shirt. "Derek had invited us all, he also said he had some news for us." Seeing the grumpy look on His step-sons face she chuckled. "Come on Scotty. What's the matter? You used to love hanging out with Derek."

Scott shrugged. "Things change. I'll be ready in five."

Derek placed the finishing touches on the table. Erica and Isaac had done the cooking. Ethan and Boyd had moved all the tables and chairs around in the backyard. Alden was the one ordering Derek around with the decorations. He had Derek put up a banner with them and him in his wolf form draw on it. Allison was now in it standing between him and Erica. On the top of the banner it had the words 'welcome to the hale pack' printed on it. The rest were simple cloths on the tables, small wolf ordinate on the center of each table. An iPod playing in the corner and the food placed in tray and set on a table. All was good and done, now he just needed to wait for the rest to arrive.

Chris and Allison were the first, they had decided to wait by the car for the others. Little by little they began arriving. John and Melissa. Stiles, Scott, Lydia and Kira. Liam, mason, and Malia. Jackson and Lydia. Peter his wife and kid. Once they were gathered together they headed up to the door. Before John could knock, the door was opened by one of the twins.

"We were beginning to think none of you were coming." His words were directed to Allison.

Allison giggled. "I would never do that to you Ethan."

Not on purpose, he ignore the others and pulled her into a hug. "Derek is out back. You might want to hurry and catch him alone."

Raising an eyebrow, she tilted her head to the side. "Why?"

"You small of Scott and his pack. I for one don't think you would like them to see Derek rubbing up against you." Wiggling his eyebrows Ethan pushed her in. "Alright how about my brother and I give you a tour of the house?"

Allison hastily walked into the backyard. She has no time to react before Derek had her pinned up against the house. Stay very still and calm, she waited it out. Derek was nuzzling her neck with such force, she felt his faded bearded burn her. Weird part was that as soon as it appeared it was gone.

Once he was satisfied she had his scent all over the place. Derek pulled back, giving her a small loss just beside her mouth. "Where are the others?"

Rubbing her neck, She flinched. "I believe the twins are giving them a tour."

Walking closer to her, he placed his Palm against the burnt skin. She gasped at the veins in his hand as they turned black. "Sorry, I'll watch it neck time."

"Derek what the hell happened to your hand!?" Reaching for it, gaped at the clear skin. "But the veins…they were black."

Derek laughed. "I took your pain away. Don't you remember when you were smaller? I would go with you to your appointments and hold your arm. Or when you fell you only felt it for a little and then nothing?"

"I…yeah. I mean after you left it all became painful. The fall's, the shots and cuts." Smiling up at him she pulled him into a hug. "That was all you?"

"Yeah."

"Thank You."

With a small grin, he leaned forward gently placing his mouth over here. The kids was chaste at first, but slowly she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Derek had her around the waist and pinned against the wall. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss Alden voice boomed into their ears.

"And back here We have the backyard! Where we like to hangout and cook!" He yelled.

"We can hear fine son." John chuckled clenching his teeth. "Or at least we used to."

Derek and Allison had separated way before they walked out. She was currently seated on a table, while he was working the grill.

Derek closed the grill, before walking over to them. "Hey guys."

"Hello Derek. Thank you for the invitation." John smiled, giving him a tight hug.

Derek chuckled. "Come on John. None of you need and invitation to come here. This will always be your home." Melissa smiled, kissing him on the cheek. "Now come on. Sit, the food is just about ready."

Melissa walked back With him to the grill. "So you and Allison. I saw that coming miles away." Derek stuttered to come up with an excuse. "Relax Derek, I am with you all the way."

With a small blush he looked down. "How did you know?"

Grabbing his chin, she wiped something off his lips. "Unless you have taken up using lipstick, the only one that uses this color are Lydia and Allison. I seriously doubt you are interested in Lydia."

Derek cringed at the thought. "That is part of the announcement."

"Don't worry I won't say a word." She promised.

Giving her a kiss on the cheek, Derek laughed. "Thank you ma."

The rest of the day went okay. Derek didn't know Peter and his family were there yet. They stayed hidden between their pack, which hid their scent. So at the moment that want well. Adkin, Kira's brother kept making moves on Allison regardless of her rejections. Not a saw it cute and didn't do shit to stop it. Derek was holding onto his anger, but when he saw the idiot steal a kiss all was lost.

Adkin didn't know what hit him. One moment he was kissing Allison and suddenly a hand was wrapped around his throat. Looking down he gasped at the alpha. Derek was full on wolf, his eyes showing no mercy. His pack were quick to circle him and his prey, keeping the others away.

"Derek let him go!" Scott growled. He could easily push past the betas, but that would start a war. They were on Hale land and to make things even more personal, Hale house. "Derek!"

Derek growled. "He is not part of your pack Scott. There for he belongs to no one. This…Fox just disrespected the lead female!" The way he spat fox, made it seem as if it was a disease.

"Derek, he is Kira's brother. There for he is my beta. Let him go!" Scott was afraid Derek would kill the fox. Having Kira cling onto his arm was not helping. "I'll punish him for what he had done, just drop him."

Derek was no where convinced with his words, but allowed the fox to drop on the ground. Crouching before him, he growled. "Come near her again and I will personally rip your throat out. Understood?" The fox nodded rapidly. Slowly he stood to his feet as Derek went to Allison. "You okay?"

"Yeah. It was just a kiss Derek." She chuckled. "But thank you."

Derek grinned. "My pleasure. Now how about we keep this going. I still need to make the announcement and I know Chris is already getting restless." Bidding she followed him to the dinning table. Everyone was there, just waiting for the last two.

Eating was a specific order of respect and loyalty. The alphas always took the first bite, then the rest. If by any chance on was an omega they were to wait until every beta had a bite. So automatically they waited for Derek to take a bite followed by the rest of the alphas. Instead he turned to the adults.

"You three are to go first." Derek smiled. "You are the oldest and my alpha figures." Chris, John, and Melissa took the first bite. Then Derek. "Scott wait." He turned toward Allison. Who in return frowned up at him. "Go ahead." Doing as told, he nodded towards Scott. After Scott, it was Kira and the rest of the pack. This gave way to a new order as well.

Allison was on the road to becoming the next female Hale alpha. But the first to be fully human. Derek was the first male alpha to take over since the last four generations. Every first born had been female's leaving the male's to build packs somewhere else, that is of they became alphas. Many if not all stayed betas, taking up residence within other packs.

Derek took a moment to scan the table. Stopping on the small kid chomping off at his plate. With a growl he turned towards the adults beside him. Peter and his wife. Before he could do anything and hand landed on his. Allison was giving him a pleading look to not react. He knew why. For the child. He may be a hybrid and may cause trouble later on, he did not have any blame in this. Peter was the only one to blame and to get him, he needed to make sure he was alone.

"So Derek what's the announcement you wanted to give?" John asked.

Derek took a deep breath, held it for a few and then released. "Well for starters I want to thank you for All you have done. I know I wasn't the easiest of kids, but you raised me. As you know I have a pack, but it has been missing a very important member." Glancing a Allison he smiled. "I found her."

"Her?" Chris grinned. "Who?" He looked around, stopping on Erica.

The she wolf laughed. "Sorry Hunter wrong her."

Looking at Derek he waited until his eyes shifted to his and Allison's hands. "Her?!" Derek nodded. "My daughter her!? That her?!"

Derek quickly dodged to the side as Chris pounced. "Now pops calm down." He ducked the punch.

"Why her?! Out of all the hers in this world he pick her!" Chris yelled, reaching for him, but missed. "Stand still so I can kick your ass."

"Lets talk this out." Derek offered.

Chris nodded to quickly. "Okay sure. Why her!"

Rolling his eyes, Derek growled. "Because it was always her!" Everyone stopped the chatting and laughing.

Chris stopped as well, putting down the baseball bar he just picked up. "What?"

"I knew since I was a kid. The jealously towards other kids. The constant hovering and worrying. Always being at appointments. Blowing off my friends when she wanted me. My entire life revolved around her. It still does. Every girl I dated was a disaster. I tried not comparing, but it was no use. She was always on my mind. She is the missing link to me and my pack Chris." Derek dropped down on His couch. He never spoke with aggression and passion, but with Allison everything was passion.

Allison stood from her seat, and rushed to his side. "Hey?" Lifting his head She smiled. "I may have not known it, but I to was looking for something specific in those I met."

Derek smiled, giving her a quick peck. Looking up he winced at the glare from Chris. "Chris…I'm sorry, but this is our choice."

"Derek you are ten years oldest than her. She is just a teen, not even graduate yet." Chris, to be honest didn't even know what to think or say. Derek was a good man, but his world was dangerous. Even more than that of a Hunter. They Hunted and left. Derek was the very living thing they killed. Not only that but wants to bed his daughter. She could get hurt or worse get killed. "She's just a kid."

"I am not a kid dad. Please with this a chance." Allison begged. "It's not your choice."

Chris glared between the two. Taking a few steps back, he grabbed his jacket. "I need some space. Allison I'll see you at the house." With that he left.

All was quiet, until Stiles spoke up. "Well he took it better than expected."

Derek grunted. "You think?"

"Wait so what does that make Allison?" Jackson asked.

Derek glanced up at him, with a hard look, his eyes blood red "Alpha female."
