Warning: plenty of Derek angst and feels, slight steamy scene, some bad words (maybe) and a big scene. YAY.

Also I love Erica's obliviousness in this chapter, it really makes me laugh.

OH and Boyd has a scene! I love Boyd so I'm super excited for this.

Hope you enjoy.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

-Mr Brightside, The Killers

This is basically the best song ever for jealousy. If you ever get jealous of a boy/girl, just put this song on and dance around your room! OH and Brendan Flowers is literally perfect.

Alexia had no way of getting to Derek's so she rang Erica. Erica didn't have a car, but sometimes Derek let her borrow his. She hoped that Derek was feeling generous because otherwise she wouldn't be able to get out.

Turns out, Derek was feeling rather generous and let Erica borrow his Camaro to pick Alexia up. Alexia loved being in the sleek black convertible, she felt sexy and noticeable. Erica wasn't one to abide by the speed limit and they were racing down the highway before Alexia knew it.

Conversation turned to the previous night. Erica was full of inquisition.

"So, Derek... Is he good?"

Alexia gave her a confused look. "Good at what?"

"In bed," Erica winked. "He came home the other night smelling of you, I just assumed you'd jumped his bones."

I just assumed you'd jumped his bones...

Alexia rolled her eyes. "No, definitely not."

It was funny that they were having a conversation about Derek, but the details concerned her and Stiles. She tried to keep a poker face knowing how Erica could sense anything different. She thanked her lucky stars that they were unfamiliar with Stiles' new scent.

"That's funny..." Erica mused.

"What's funny? I'm not getting it on with Derek!"

"Oh, that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about your scent. You smell different. I can't put-"

Alexia cut in. "I got a new shampoo the other day. Super detox one. That's why. Derek was complaining about it too." Her lie was thin, but Erica seemed to buy it.

"Oh, okay." Said the blonde.

Both girls let the subject drop and Erica started talking about Boyd. And once Erica started talking about Boyd, she couldn't stop. Alexia settled back in her seat and listened to Erica's analysis of everything Boyd did.

Alexia wasn't really listening, though. She let her mind wander back to last night again. She licked her lips and started jigging her right leg up and down. Erica noticed and gave her a strange look.

"Lex? Are you even listening to me? Boyd said that I was beautiful! What do you think?"

Alexia snapped out of it. "Oh, um, well you are beautiful. He probably likes you. He definitely likes you. You know what? I think he wants to have sex with you. I think you should have sex with him. Why not?"

Erica looked taken aback.

"What's with this new found horniness? I can practically taste it off you... What have you been doing?!"

Luckily for Alexia they just arrived at the Hale house. She got out of the car and ignored Erica's question, skipping to the front door and walking in.

She wasn't expecting what greeted her. Shirtless Derek Hale with nothing on apart from a pair of tight fitting boxers.

"Woah," she said, covering her eyes, "Put some clothes on, Derek. You have nice abs, we don't all need to see them."

He snorted. "I was just out of the shower. This is my house, remember? My rules."

She didn't know what had come over him. She thought they were past the antagonism, but obviously not.

"Well you knew we were coming over, but it doesn't matter now."

Derek ignored her and stomped off, up the stairs to his room to presumably put on some clothes.

Erica winked at Alexia and tapped her arm.

"Come on! How could you resist jumping that? Why did you have to be so snappy?" she teased.

Alexia rolled her eyes for the second time. "Nothing's going on between Derek and me. Sure he's hot, but I don't really see him that way anymore."

It was Erica's turn to roll her eyes. "Yeah sure. From the first time you set eyes on each other, you've had a thing. Everyone can sense the sexual tension-"

The arrival of Derek again interrupted what she was going to say. She hadn't got the chance to look properly at his face until now. He was paler than usual and he had dark purple circles under his eyes. That was strange.

He spoke to Erica. "Boyd's upstairs. He needs to talk to you."

Erica smiled and walked up the stairs. Alexia was glad that Erica was finally happy, finally sorting things out with Boyd. She was also glad that she couldn't hear what was presumably going to go on.

Once she was out of sight Alexia turned her focus on Derek. Her eyes inspected every inch of his body.

"Is everything okay?" she asked Derek.

Derek grunted, but didn't say anything. She followed him as he walked out of the room.

"Derek?"

He took a deep breath. "What?"

"I asked you if everything was okay." She said.

He ignored her and that really pissed Alexia off. She couldn't be nice with him anymore.

"You are unbelievable!" she shouted. "I tried. I really tried with you Derek."

"Alexia" he pleaded.

"You know that it's a two way thing, Derek? You have to trust people. You don't even get to know people." She said in exasperation.

Most of what she'd said was true, but Alexia was wrong in one part. He'd tried to get to know her. He really had, but she didn't want him. He didn't say anything. He just looked at her.

She was beginning to get fed up with him, but Derek wanted this to happen. It was easier for him if she hated him. It meant he could forget about her. But did he really want to forget about her?

Alexia walked out of the room, leaving Derek standing on his own.

...

Boyd's body was shaking in anticipation. He could hear Erica's footsteps coming up the stairs and making their way down the hall and into his bedroom. He took a deep breath and focused himself.

The blonde opened his bedroom door and smiled at him, showing plenty of her pearly-white teeth.

"Derek said you wanted me," her heart skipped a beat, "I mean you wanted to speak to me."

Boyd couldn't disguise his happiness. "Well I just wanted to continue from last night before I had to leave."

Erica moved closer to him. "Continue what?" she smirked.

Boyd put his hand on her thigh and moved it slowly up her body. She shivered and smacked his hand. He looked at her with apologetic eyes, but her eyes were filled with lust. Before either of them knew it, they were kissing passionately. Both were fighting for dominance. Erica ripped his shirt off quickly and started kissing his chest. He was even more ripped than Derek, which she thought was completely impossible.

Boyd could feel himself becoming hard and he had to clench his fist tight to keep him from shouting. He was completely in control of his wolf side, but he was not in control of his human side. Erica was teasing him, licking from his neck to just above his belly button. He flipped her over and now he was on top of her. Her shirt disappeared after a few seconds and his lips found hers.

She could hear Derek walking up to the room and she broke off.

"Derek, just because you and Alexia have had enough-" she shouted.

Before she could continue, the door opened and both betas found themselves on the floor. Derek's face was extremely angry.

"First of all, nothing is happening between Alexia and I. Secondly, you two need to come downstairs now."

They both walked downstairs, following Derek. As soon as Erica walked out of the room she was hit with the same scent from earlier. The scent that Alexia had said was her shampoo, but it wasn't the scent of her shampoo. It was the scent of Stiles.

Standing at the doorway of the Hale house was Stiles Stilinski. He sure had a lot of explaining to do.

"So, shampoo, huh?" she said to Alexia.

Alexia blushed. "Erica, I-" she started.

Erica held her hand up. "Save it."

"Why are you here?" Boyd asked Stiles, "I thought you were 'Team Vampire' now?"

"Technically he can only be Team Hybr-" Alexia said, but she stopped talking when all of them turned around to look at her with shocked eyes.

"Alexia," Derek said. "Shut up."

Alexia pouted. "But Derek, you haven't heard the full story..."

"Yes we have," said Erica. "He lured us to our deaths nearly. Don't you remember the fact that you were tied up and poisoned?"

Alexia shook her head. "That was a mistake okay."

All the werewolves looked at Stiles.

"It was an accident! I didn't even know that was going to happen, okay!" he said.

"Oh I don't know, Stiles. A smart guy like you always seems to know what's going on." Derek said, mocking him.

"Well I didn't this time," he shot back. "I came here to apologise. I thought we could put everything behind us. Alexia knows everything."

"So, just because Alexia knows everything that makes it okay? I think you need to review your policies Stiles."

Stiles took a step forward, but was unable to enter the house. He had to be invited in.

"Don't act like you're any different Derek. I know what you feel for her." He stopped and looked at him. "Are you going to invite me in, or am I going to be left outside?"

Alexia looked at the other wolves, pleading with them. Derek finally caved.

"Okay. Stiles you can come in, but I want your word that you will not side with Levi and the others."

Stiles laughed harshly. "I don't think you're going to have to worry about that."

"Why?" asked Alexia.

Stiles looked at the rest of the Pack. "I killed them."

So Levi is dead? HYFR
