Thanks to Jo for re-reading this fifty times at my command. You really are awesome.

It's been suggested that Amy wants to sleep with Derek (Amy's 11) and I'm sorry if that's the notion I put across in the last chapter. I really didn't mean it. Amy hero worship's Derek and I'm feeding off my memories as a little sister because there's the same age gap between me and my brother as there is between Amy and Derek.

Just in case anyone's interested, Steve is based on Steve McGarrett from Hawaii 5-O (at least looks ways anyway).

I don't own Teen Wolf *pouts*.

Derek balked at the thought of bringing his mate to his home. It wasn't that he was ashamed of either his mate or his family. Derek's problem is the pushy side of his family. The women command and demand pick and pull until every last threat of dignity has been removed. Derek loves them, he really does, it's just he doesn't like them a lot of the times. So when he heard Laura coming through the back door he pinned her almost immediately.

'I need you to behave. You're the ringleader. When my mate's here I want you to show respect.' He said narrowing his eyes. Laura stared as if fascinated before laughing and pushing him away.

'Yeah whatever. Where's mom?' Derek sighed at his sister.

'Went to town. Where's the meathead?'

'Steve is at work.' Laura corrected. 'I'm hungry.' She poked through the fridge while Derek sat at the table watching her. 'So you got yourself a boy mate huh?' She asked snagging a piece of ham.

'So it would seem.' Derek said. His phone bleeped in his pocket. Derek read the text from his girlfriend in LA. There was a problem that wasn't going to be easy to fix. Not only does he have to fix the problem with Gemma, he has a house to sell and things to organise and it really was all fucked up just how much his life had changed in a few days.

'How do you feel?'

'Tired. And pissed off. You know Peter's going to challenge me.'

'I figured as much. Hey you can bite me. Laura said. 'I'm most definitely on your side.'

'Did Peter ever…do anything or say anything to you?' Derek asked.

'No. why?' She looks confused and he knew she knew nothing. He wondered why Peter had all of a sudden taken an interest in his sisters. As a kid both he and Laura had any number of interactions with an Uncle they adored, and none of them were inappropriate. Something must have triggered in Peter's mind to set him off. Unless he'd avoided family up until now. Derek would have to investigate.

'No reason, just seeing who he's been recruiting.'

'He wouldn't dare try me, I'm your sister.' Laura said. 'I'd fleece him a new skin if he did.'

'What about meat…Steve?' Derek asked.

'Nah, Steve knows his place.' Laura said swinging her legs on the counter. 'Hey the boys have taken to you. You made a big impression. They wanted to play 'Uncle Derek' last night.' Laura grinned.

'What does that entail?' Derek asked.

'A lot of stomping around, growling and being grumpy. I helped them out.' Laura said checking her nails. Derek can imagine her poisoning their minds saying things like "frown more" and "don't talk, glare".

'So if you've got a boy mate will you go for a surrogate?' Laura asked interrupting his thoughts.

'Steady on Laura, Jesus I've just got home. Do you know this has been the busiest twenty four hours of my life?'

'I can bet. But we're your family who love you. I care about my future nieces and nephews.'

'I need to go to the school and collect Judith. I need to find my mate and his dumb friend. I'll do the biting bonds tonight.'

'So do we have an order to go in?' Laura asked crossing her legs and resting her elbows on her knees.

'Amy.' Derek says. 'She demanded the first bite. I pinkie promised.' Derek muttered. Laura laughed so hard she almost toppled off the bench. Derek glowered at her until she got herself under control.

'You are so whipped.' She grinned.

'Who do you think will join Peter in challenging me?'

'None of the Aunts, but Daniel definitely, perhaps Fergus.' Laura said. 'Look I'm on your side and I'm right behind Amy for the bite ok. I'll support you to hell and back you know that.'

'I know. If for no other reason it's to torture and mock me.' Derek said. 'What does Carter do all day?'

'Fuck all. What did you do all day in LA?'

'Studied.' Derek said.

'Yeah you studied, you studied wolf law and girls and boys and food and drink and pool parties and…' She shut up when Derek grabbed her and trailed her off the counter to tickle her.

Derek collected Amy first, and then collected Judith just as the blue jeep rumbled past them. Derek followed it to what he assumed was Stiles' home. He parked by the kerb and ignored his giggling sisters as he got out. 'I need to talk to you two. Now.' Derek told the boys.

'But we've got homework.' Stiles said.

'Bring it with you. You'll be hanging out at my place for a while.' Derek said glaring. Scott looked uncomfortably between the two of them.

'Look there is a million and one things happening around here that don't involve you being changed. Like I said I'm not about to let the two of you run around with no pack. I have a pack and if you don't come with me now I'll serve you for dinner tomorrow night to that pack. Roast disobedient new wolves is one of my family's speciality dishes. We clear.' Derek said.

'Crystal.' Stiles said getting back into the Jeep. They followed Derek home.

Linda was busy making dinner when they got there. Derek glared at the two boys who slouched into the house with soppy faces, taking a long look at what kind of meat she was using. 'Hello!' Linda beamed. She loved new people, especially ones with empty bellies.

'Mom this is Stiles and this is Scott.' Derek's tone was bored as he shoved a thumb at each of them in turn. 'They'll be hanging out here for a while.' Derek said. They followed him to his dads study. Derek leaned against the desk as they shuffled their feet and wrapped their arms around themselves trying and failing to look like they belonged there. 'Look I'm not going to hurt you, much. Do you two know anything about werewolves?'

'What we've seen in the movies.' Stiles said. Derek nodded, some of those were way off key but the got the odd thing right. None the less they needed totally re-educated, something Derek didn't think he had time to do, not for both of them right away.

'You'll learn everything you need to know here but I'm going to do the quickest crash course in history. Amy, my little sister is eavesdropping outside and as punishment she can be your mentor Scott.' Derek said, smirking when he heard his little sister's heart skip a beat at being caught.

'Yesterday my Granddad was the Alpha of this pack. He decided that he wanted me to take over. I'm still young, twenty four but it's not unheard of. He's been telling me I'll be Alpha since I was born. Last night when he announced that we'd already done the switch my uncle Peter was a bit pissed off. He's going to challenge me. He wants to be Alpha. I'm sure my Granddad has his reasons for choosing me over Peter. As it stands I need a loyal pack and because I'm Alpha now it's a question of which of my pack is really mine. Those that are mine will need a bite from me, a sharing of blood. They offer their blood freely to stand at my side until death and in return they have my full protection. You get to bite me back.' Derek said. 'That's the cliff notes. Any questions?'

'Just one.' Scott said. 'What's an Alpha?'

Derek rolled his eyes and rubbed his face. He opened the door he ushered Amy inside. 'Amy, teach your charge a few things here. I need to talk to Stiles.' Amy beamed at being trusted with the new werewolf.

'Why don't I get a mentor?' Stiles asked as he followed Derek out of the room and up the stairs. 'Why are we going up here?'

'I'm your mentor dumbass and we're going up here because I need to talk privately.'

'Ok.' Stiles said. Derek shoved him into a room then used Stiles' body to slam the door shut, pushing himself against the boy.

'You smell so fucking good.' Derek moaned nosing down the side of Stiles neck. A spike of fear reached Derek's nose followed by a much stronger spike of arousal.

Stiles grunted and pulled Derek closer, not understanding why he wanted to. His hands were fisted in Derek's coat and he considered pushing him away for a second, but he didn't. He was so confused by his emotions and reactions right now. School had been torture, every noise was amplified tenfold, and his nose still stung from the scent of Jackson's aftershave.

'You're my mate and its hard keeping my hands off you. I want you; I want you so much so get used to it.' Derek ground out, like saying the actual words out loud hurt him.

'I want you too but dude I'm…'

'I'm not going to fuck you.' Derek whispered in Stiles' ear.

'Ok.' Stiles sounded disappointed.

'Yet.' Derek said and Stiles shivered against him. 'I am going to kiss you.' Derek said grinding his hips against Stiles. 'You ever been kissed?'

Stiles opened his mouth to speak then paused and that was all the answer Derek needed. He touched Stiles' lips with his own, nipping the skin then licking the hurt away immediately. Stiles gasped as Derek pressed closer and Derek licked into his warm waiting mouth. Stiles moved his tongue, unsure of what to do but Derek made an encouraging sound in his throat, leading Stiles into the kiss. Stiles touched his tongue to Derek's. His touch was shy but it turned Derek on so much. He groaned when Stiles pulled away gasping air into his lungs. Derek nosed down the pale neck in front of him that smelled so good once more.

'I don't know anything about this.' Stiles said swallowing. Derek licked his Adams apple.

'About werewolves? Derek asked.

'About sex. And werewolves.' Stiles admitted.

'I'll teach you.' Derek promised capturing his lips again. 'You're doing well.' He said running his hands to Stiles hips and pulling him away from the door, walking until the back of his knees touched the bed. Derek collapsed pulling Stiles with him. Stiles shifted until his knees were either side of Derek. Then he giggled.

'What?' Derek asked.

'We've still got our coats on.' Stiles pointed out. Derek growled and sat up, wrapping arms around Stiles to hold him in place.

'Take mine off.' Derek said into his ear. Stiles did, pushing the leather over Derek's broad shoulders and down his arms. He paused when he realised that Derek holding him in that position was all that kept him from falling but he needed Derek to move.

'Um…' Stiles said shifting until his legs wrapped around Derek's waist. 'Let go.' Stiles said tapping Derek's left arm. Derek let go and Stiles pulled to coat over his wrist. He repeated the motion with his right arm.

'Clever little wolf aren't you.' Derek said nipping Stiles throat.

'Oh god.' Stiles whined as Derek lay down again, Stiles moving his feet just in time to save them from being crushed. Stiles pushed his own coat awkwardly off.

'Kiss me.' Derek said his hands drifting to the waistband of Stiles jeans and his thumbs rubbing over the skin he found there. Stiles leaned down and brushed his lips over Derek's, then licked Derek's lip the way Derek had done only moments before. Derek groaned and Stiles rubbed their hips together again, loving the feeling. 'Are you frightened of me?' Derek asked his voice low.

'No.' Stiles answered. He looked at his hands to see his fingers changing and his nails slipping out. He closed his eyes and swallowed, willing them away, willing his body to relax. He was shocked when it worked; it normally took Scott a lot longer than that.

'Can I bite you, make you mine?' Derek asked.

'But you've already bit me.' Stiles said. 'Last night.'

'That was a turning bite. This is a loyalty bite.'

'Are there other kinds of bite?'

'A mating bite. A claiming bite.' Derek said. 'Both of which I'll be giving you someday.'

'Oh. Ok then.' Stiles said. 'I have this feeling; I don't know what it is. I really want to make you happy, I want you to be pleased with me and I don't ever want to let you down.'

'That's the wolf talking. Not only am I your Alpha but I'm your mate.'

'I'll need a few days to get used to that.'

'I'll give you time but right now I need your loyalty. I know it's quick but it's the wolf in me, he's Alpha now and he wants to seal his strength in the pack with his mate by his side to show off. Your wolf is reacting to me the way he is because he's delighted that an Alpha is his mate.' Derek said.

'Ok.' Stiles said. He looked thoughtful for a moment and Derek was delighted he was comfortable enough with the intimacy between them to stay where he was. 'So my wolf wants to please your wolf because your wolf is big and strong, the strongest in the pack?'

'Yes.' Derek answered, his fingers finding Stiles skin. He longed to touch his mate.

'And you need my loyalty because you have a crazy uncle who wants to kill you. What if you're crazy uncle is actually sane and you're the crazy one and I'm chucking my eggs in the wrong basket here dude?' Stiles asked as he rested his elbow on Derek's shoulder, and his chin on his hand.

'You comfortable there buddy?' Derek asked. Stiles nodded. 'Does it feel like I'm crazy?'

'I woke up in your bed at three in the morning. I've never even met you and you were licking me. You demand my phone number after you cuddle me for three hours. You threaten to cook me for tomorrow night's dinner. You know my name when I haven't introduced myself.'

'Are you kidding me? Everybody knows who you are.' Derek said.

'They do?'

'No my sister Judith knows you. That's how I found out your name. Ok so our relationship started out less than perfect, but what do you expect when I find you about to die? I licked you to heal you. Your body would still be coping with trying to heal two wounds if I didn't.' Derek said.

'Oh. When you put it like that…this isn't awkward.' Stiles said and Derek could have laughed out loud at the speed with which Stiles' mind moved.

'Do you want it to be awkward?'

'I'm lying on your chest having a conversation about letting you bite me. It should be awkward.'

'The wolves are comfortable and their comfort is relaxing us.'

'This is so fucked up. Will this hurt? Ok bite away big guy.' Stiles said scrunching his eyes until they were almost closed.

Derek's grin was feral as he reached for Stiles wrist. Stiles' arm was firm and strong, the beginnings of young muscles forming. Derek was still lying on his back as he pulled the arm to his lips and licked over the pulse point. He let his fangs slide out and Stiles gasped watching as the red bled into Derek's eyes.

Derek's teeth sunk into Stiles wrist like it was made of butter. It was a hot pain, Stiles stayed still; strangely it didn't hurt like Stiles expected it to, instead it aroused him more. Derek pulled his teeth out when he felt Stiles submission, given after a few seconds. He lapped the broken skin but made sure to leave a red scar to heal, to leave a mark on his mate.

'You ok?' He asked rolling to his side and taking Stiles with him.

'That hurt.' Stiles admitted. Derek leaned forward and kissed Stiles neck, sucking a bruise into the skin. Another mark. He could mark this boy for the rest of the night if Stiles would let him.

'Your turn. You bite me.' Derek said.

'Same place?' Stiles asked. He was more nervous about biting Derek than he was about Derek biting him it would seem.

'Yes.'

Stiles took Derek's hand, turning it over to where the thin skin stretched over his wrist. He licked it once. Derek tasted like salt and man and home. Stiles concentrated. He didn't think he would be able to do it. 'It worked and ouch!' Stiles said, catching his lip with his teeth. Pulling his lips back to safety, Stiles took Derek's wrist and bit down. It was so easy for his sharp teeth to slip into Derek's flesh. Stiles worried that he wouldn't be able to stop.

Stiles could feel Derek's heartbeat; feel Derek's blood pumping under the skin, under his tongue. Stiles shivered he wanted more of this, wanted to do it forever. Derek's arm was tense and after a long moment something changed and shifted in Derek's blood and Stiles somehow knew it was time to pull away. He copied what Derek had done and licked the wound clean. Then he dropped his lips back to Derek's. Stiles had never made out with anyone before but he decided he was definitely going to do more of it. He tasted blood on Derek's tongue, his own blood, Derek's blood, mixing together in the kiss. Stiles knew he should be squiked out by that but he was more turned on.

Derek rolled them so he hovered above Stiles. 'You're a fast learner.' Derek said. 'But we have to go, family business.'

'You want me to go home?'

'Don't be silly. You are family.' Derek said standing and pulling Stiles with him. He shoved Stiles forward towards the bedroom door. 'Go.' Derek growled. Stiles face was flushed pink and his lips bruised from kissing. All Derek wanted to do was lock himself away for a month with his mate, would have if his place and pack were more secure and Stiles was a few years older. As he walked down the stairs he considered doing it anyway when all this blew over.

Derek had to take several deep breaths to get his wolf under control. He had no intention of claiming his mate just yet. Especially with a family of nosey werewolves downstairs.

Laura was standing at the bottom of the stairs smirking at Derek as they came down. 'Are you Stiles?' She asked in a girly voice, reaching out to take the boys hand. Derek growled. 'I met you this morning do you remember? Don't mind grumpy here. I can't wait to get you alone. For a big chat. About him and all his bad points. He doesn't have any good points I'm afraid.' She said.

'Go!' Derek snapped at her. She dragged Stiles behind her into the living room where the family was sitting. All of Derek's siblings were there, as well as meathead, the twins and Scott and Stiles. His dad was sitting in an armchair with his mom perched on the edge of his lap.

'Well.' She asked as Derek walked inside and for one frightening moment he thought she wanted details of his make out session. Then he realised they were lining up for him to bite them.

'I can't bite everybody tonight.' Derek said slouching into the corner of the couch. 'I don't have the energy.'

'Of course you do. You took your mates blood first so you'll have more than enough.' Linda said. Derek glared at her.

'Me first.' Amy said holding out her tiny arm again.

'At least get them two out of here.' Derek said nodding at the twins. He glared at Steve and the man finally took the hint, lifting both boys and taking them to another room. They may have been little wolves but they were too young for something like this.

Derek pulled his little sister into his lap and tickled her ribs before catching her wrist. He watched her blue eyes flash amber as his fangs slid out and into her skin. She held on bravely, submitting instantly. He held himself there for a second before quickly licking the would closed, letting her finish the job. 'Now me.' He reminded her. Her tiny fangs were almost ticklish against his skin. There was no pain as she bit into him. She didn't bother to close the wound, because it would just be reopened again.

Derek repeated the action with his family, only his brother hesitating before submitting. Judith went to get Steve, while Derek asked if biting the meathead was necessary, Laura glared at the insult so Derek bit his sister's mate to keep the peace. Maybe the guy could prove useful. Finally Scott was standing, hands in his sleeve.

'You don't have to son.' Linda said softly. 'It's a big step submitting to an Alpha like this. We're only doing it because Derek's going to be challenged and we're his family. If you'd rather not we'd understand.'

Scott stood there. Derek knew the boy was young and his mom was right, this was a big decision but he couldn't help the impatience that was seeping into him. He was about to tell him to come back when he made up his mind when Scott stepped forward, offering Derek his arm. 'The good thing about me being your Alpha is control. I won't be interrupting your computer games with my howling. Well I might be but you won't be trying to kill anyone.' Derek said before sinking his teeth into the flesh of Scott's wrist. Scott hissed and Derek frowned, his blood tasted of something familiar but before he could pin it down Scott submitted. Derek held up his torn wrist to Scott and Scott took his blood. He was about to heal when he heard the back door open.

'Did we miss it?' Ellie Hale called rushing in.

'Almost.' Derek said. He leaned down to kiss her cheek and had barley pulled back before her wrist was at his mouth. 'This could cause problems. Peter is your son.' Derek said. Her wrist was pressed so close he had to talk around it.

'My mate chose you, now how would it look if I didn't submit. Bite.' She said. Derek obeyed her. She submitted as quickly as Amy had. She took his wrist and before she dropped it David's wrist was at his face. Derek growled in annoyance, he was getting tired of this.

When they finally finished Derek was a little woozy. He had a big family, all taking a slice of his blood, and he'd only three hours sleep in the last two days. He stared shocked when Stiles pushed him down on the sofa and sat beside him, lifting the broken skin of his left wrist to his mouth. 'Can I?' Stiles asked. Derek nodded, watching as Stiles slowly started to lick and clean the wound on Derek's wrist, knitting and healing the skin back together. When it was done Derek wanted to pull the boy against him, hold him and bask in his presence but he didn't think anyone would be comfortable with that move. Least of all him. 'That was gross.' Stiles said but he looked more pleased with himself than anything else.

'I'm serving dinner in fifteen minutes. Laura and Judith come help. Carter set the table, Amy help your brother. Chop chop.' She said clapping her hands. There was a flurry of movement and Derek watched as his little sister took Scott by the hand dragging him away. Already part of the family he thought as he leaned his head on the back of the couch.

'I'm glad you're here.' Derek admitted turning his head to look at Stiles.

'Is this like drugging? Because this time yesterday I didn't even know who you were and now I want to crawl inside you and stay there forever.' Stiles said eyebrows knitting together in confusion.

'It's because I'm an Alpha wolf. It's becoming urgent in you and in me but we've got plenty of time.' Derek said, words slurring slightly. Stiles edged closer.

'What can I do?' Stiles asked. Derek smiled a genuine smile.

'Just don't leave me.' He said brushing his hand over Stiles leg. Stiles watched as he fell into a light sleep, snoring already.
