I want to thank Jo for beta-ing this for me. It didn't want to be fixed; it's a nasty nasty chapter. Also rating goes up to M here.

Thanks to all you guys who review, you're awesome btb, and I love to see them pop up in my inbox.

I'm back at work next week after 9 weeks off so I might post chapter 5 before then…I'll see how busy I am…

I don't own Teen Wolf.

'You should take Stiles on a date. Tonight.' Laura said from her place at the breakfast table. She and Meathead, and the twins had stayed last night.

'Why should I take him on a date?' Derek asked stabbing a sausage. He was still tired, he had been out roaming through the woods, covering the paths he'd been on the night before when he found Stiles. It was a fruitless task. Clearly the other Alpha was tucked up snoozing in some bed while Derek, made an arse of himself hunting around for it.

'I take Laura on dates.' Steve said coming into the kitchen snapping Derek out of his thoughts.

'You must be so proud.' Derek snarled.

'You should take him on a date; you need to get to know him. You can't sink your teeth into him twice in twenty four hours and demand loyalty to the death. So take him for dinner or something.' Laura said picking up one of the twins as he ran to her. Derek had yet to learn the difference, admitted to himself he probably never would.

'He understands.'

'So he says.' Laura said. 'Plus Uncle Daniel says he'll be here tonight.'

'Then I should be here.' Derek said.

'Nonsense. You're the Alpha they do what you want not the other way around. Aunt Rebecca called me this morning to tell me he was coming but he hasn't called forward, told her he wouldn't. You need to not be here, he'll have to wait.'

Derek sighed. All these werewolf family politics were starting to give him a migraine. 'So I take Stiles out.'

'Yes.'

'Where do I take a seventeen year old boy on a date?' Derek asked, turning to look at Carter.

'I'm no poof. Don't look at me.' He snapped.

Derek growled in warning and Carter shrunk back in his chair a bit. 'Bowling?' He asked with a shrug.

'I hate bowling.' Derek said. 'What's on at the movies?'

'Make out in the back row. I like it.' Judith said coming into the room. 'Stiles will like it too.'

'Tell him I'm taking him out tonight.' Derek demanded. Judith turned to stare while Laura shook her head.

'Tell him yourself. He's your mate.' She said. Derek rolled his eyes and tugged his phone out of his pocket.

Movies tonight. Pick something.

WTF.

Derek scowled, he hated the way kids texted these days, ignoring the fact he was only twenty four himself. 'What does this mean?' He asked showing Amy his phone.

'What the fuck.' She said.

'Amy! Language.' Derek scolded.

'That's what the text says dumbass.' Amy rolled her eyes. Derek scowled.

Movies. Tonight. 7.

Kl c u xx.

Derek scowled at the message. He decided he would call Stiles later rather than ask his snot nosed family again. He put the phone away and watched as Amy harassed meathead to take her to school.

They went to see an old Dracula movie. Halfway through the movie Derek considered putting a seat between himself and Stiles as the boy twitched and jumped every five minutes. Derek reached out a hand and wrapped Stiles' fingers in his own. Stiles relaxed a bit but his leg still bounced. Derek shifted until his knee was pressed against Stiles. He didn't let go of Derek's hand until they were in the lobby and a group of guys he seemed to know walked in. They were almost out when someone shoved into Stiles shoulder, making him stumble into Derek. Derek glowered at the boy but he'd already walked away laughing.

'Leave it.' Stiles said taking Derek's arm and dragging him outside. 'I'm hungry.'

'We'll eat then.' Derek said crossing the street to a pizzeria he used to enjoy as a high schooler. They ordered a large pizza and a bunch of sides. Derek was impressed with how much food Stiles was able to pack away. They talked about vampire movies and vampires in general before moving onto werewolves.

'So the whole silver is a myth?' Stiles asked.

'Yes. It doesn't hurt us. In fact, it helps us. Some silvers have healing powers.' Derek said. 'Others help control a wolf's power. Some Alphas have to wear it.'

'Why don't you.'

'I was born when the moon was full and red.' Derek said. 'I was born to be an Alpha.'

'Oh. So you're stronger than others.'

'In a way yes. There are perhaps five born Alphas in every generation. You think of how many people there are in the world.' Derek said chewing on a piece of crust.

'So you're special.' Stiles grinned.

'Cheeky.' Derek smiled back. 'You want to come home with me tonight? We'll not do anything. ' I promise to keep my paws to myself; having you round makes me less grumpy.'

'I would love to but my dad…'

'Oh…ok then.'

'I totally want to dude…just…you know.'

'It's ok. I just…you…you're presence, it calms me and I have an uncle visiting tonight, and you would keep me…calm.' Derek said. Stiles frowned then pulled out his phone.

'Yo dad, hey, yeah movie was good, listen I'm staying with a friend tonight. Yeah, he's a vampire buff, has like a ton of movies, no I'm not going hunting in the woods looking for one to turn me, yes I know they're not real, hang on how do you know what Twilight is? No never mind. Yeah, Derek Hale, Carson. Judith. Yes I know, maybe, ok, right I'll see you tomorrow or something, yip, ok, love you too dad.' Stiles grinned and hung up. 'He asked if I had a crush on you.' Stiles grinned taking a slurp of his cherry coke.

Derek just rolled his eyes.

Daniel was there when Derek finally got home. He could hear him in the kitchen talking to Linda and Ellie. Laura was there too. Derek reached for Stiles' hand and Stiles swung their joined hands between them. Derek stopped and stared at his mate. 'That's what Amy does when she's dragging me into ridiculously expensive clothes stores.' Derek said.

'I like the feeling.' Stiles grinned. Derek rolled his eyes then tugged him forward, pressing a kiss to his lips before heading inside.

Daniel stood up immediately and Stiles was almost bowled over by how alike Daniel and Derek were. Daniel was about thirty, maybe a little less built than Derek, but he had that same signature scowl and imposing presence.

'Derek.' Daniel said offering his hand in a shake. Derek's right hand was holding Stiles left, their fingers locked together. Derek made a show of letting go of his mate to shake Daniels hand. 'And what a pretty mate you have.' Daniel said sticking his hand out for Stiles. Stiles took the man's hand and shook it quickly, letting go as soon as possible. 'Oh you're a new pup.' He said sniffing. You wouldn't have to be a Werewolf to notice the tension in the air. It was rolling off Derek like a tsunami.

'Daniel you ass, it's rude to sniff an Alpha's mate. Did you ever sniff Gran like that?' Laura crowed coming into the room. It worked, Derek's shoulders relax minutely.

'You're too young to be Alpha.' Daniel said sitting back down at the table, and clearly the guy had a death wish. Derek sat opposite him. Stiles stood behind his chair because it felt like the right thing to do. From the nod Linda gave him he guessed he got it right.

'I may be but blame David not me.' Derek said. 'I am supposed to be Alpha after all, this is just sooner than we expected.'

'You're still too young, too green. What do you know about being an Alpha; you don't even have a family of your own yet? I've heard what you were doing last week; hell I know what you were doing when you got a call from Laura here saying we had a problem.' Daniel said. Derek fixed a quick glare on Laura but she shrugged. 'Oh she didn't tell me. The girls you were with did. How does your mate feel about that?'

Laura glared at him mouthing 'Girls'.

'Relieved.' Stiles said. Derek dropped a hand to rub the back of his knuckles against Stiles' leg but Stiles carried on. 'This guy is a lot to handle. I think I'm gonna need all the help I can get.'

'You're not even claimed. What do you know?' Daniel snapped.

'Now that's enough.' Ellie said. 'I won't have this fighting. You don't agree with a decision an Alpha made, tough deal with it. Or find a new pack to take you in.'

'Mum how can you be so careless about this?'

'Derek knows what he's doing and more importantly so does your father.' Ellie said.

'Is your Gran fighting your battles now?' Daniel said. Derek just glared at him. 'Nothing more to say other than a glare. Some things never change.' He looked to Stiles. 'He'll glare you open before he fucks you kid. Be warned. It might not be pleasant.'

Derek snarled and launched himself at Daniel. The chair Daniel was on tumbled backwards with the force of two wolves knocking it over. Derek snarled hotly at Daniels throat. 'Say one more word. Please.'

No one moved, no one spoke. Eventually Derek pushed himself off Daniel and reached out to grab Stiles by the wrist. Stiles followed him through the house. 'Get him out of here.' Derek snapped as he took three stairs at a time. The door slammed and the house shook.

Derek stood shoulders heaving trying to control his rage. Stiles stepped forward attentively, reaching his hands up to tug the jacket off Derek's shoulders. He set it on a chair before pressing his chest to Derek's back and reaching around to open the buttons on Derek's shirt, slipping it off his broad shoulders. He placed it over the top of Derek's coat then shrugged his own coat and hoodie off. He moved to stand in front of Derek who was just wearing a white wife beater and blue jeans.

Stiles didn't know what to do next but Derek's breathing was still heavy. He heard a door slam outside and a car pulling away. He ran his hands up Derek's arms. They were solid, he noticed, under his fingertips, so tight and tense. Ducking his head he pressed his lips along Derek's shoulders and collarbone, kissing all the flesh available to him. Derek wrapped his arms around Stiles and ran his hands down the length of him, cupping his ass. Stiles groaned and pushed into Derek but Derek pulled back. It was too soon. He kissed Stiles on the lips and neck then pulled away and went to his suitcase. He really needed to unpack. He hunted through it pulling out a pair of sleep pants and tossing them to Stiles before grabbing a pair for himself. Stiles shifted, looking a bit uncomfortable before he unbuckled his belt and pushed his pants off, then his shorts.

Derek didn't look away like he knew Stiles wanted him to. He just stared at the creamy white legs, imagining them wrapped around him as he fucked into that needy little body. Stiles cock was soft and pink, and Derek imagined sucking it, jerking it, maybe…well…

Stiles pulled the pants up but they slipped down his hips again, hanging dangerously low. Derek laughed. 'I'll have to get you some stuff that fits.' He stripped himself, unashamed of his nakedness, letting Stiles look as much as he wanted before tugging his sleep pants on and throwing the comforter back. He motioned for Stiles to get in first, and then followed shutting off the light. 'Take your t-shirt off.' Derek said laying a head on the pillow. Stiles huffed but took it off and tossed it to the bottom of the bed. Derek looked at Stiles body, lifting the duvet for a closer examination, his fingers running over the area he bit to change Stiles before settling down in bed and pulling him closer.

Derek rolled onto his back, tugged until Stiles was lying on top of him. 'Can I tell you a secret?' He asked into the darkness. His wolf eyesight allowed him to see Stiles perfectly.

'Yes.' Stiles said setting his head on Derek's shoulder.

'I think Peter has inappropriate intentions towards my sisters. It was something Amy said. Judith didn't deny it.'

'That's…'

'I know. If he challenges we'll fight.' Derek said. Stiles rubbed his cheek over Derek's shoulder.

'Then you know you can't lose.' Stiles said. They listened to the heartbeats in the house around them. Derek cursed internally when he realised he forgot to pick up a paper and look at property. He sighed, deciding to get one in the morning. Stiles slipped his leg between Derek's and snuggled closer and Derek couldn't help but bask in his mate's presence.

Derek woke in the middle of the night. He intended to roll over and stuff his face into the cold part of the pillow when he realised there was a weight on him, stopping him. Stiles was sprawled across his belly and Derek noticed his sleep pants had been pushed down baring his cock. Stiles was touching it gently, running nervous fingers over the curve. Derek's cock was enjoying this attention as much as Derek was.

Derek lay still, watching what his mate did, and couldn't help but groan out loud when Stiles leaned forward to press a kiss with dry lips to Derek's cock.

Stiles licked his palm and ran it over Derek's cock again, watching in fascination as it filled with blood and the shape changed. He moved his hand along the length a few times before drifting lower to explore Derek's balls. Stiles rolled them in his fingers before going back to touching Derek's dick. He shifted again and Derek got a view of his ass, half bared because the pants were falling off him.

'You're so big.' Stiles said, sitting up and straddling Derek's thighs. He wrapped his fist around Derek's hard cock tugging back and forth gently, letting his thumb swipe over the sensitive head. 'Do you like that?' He asked, dipping the edge of his thumb in the slit.

'Yes.' Derek said. He was frightened to speak or move least he spook Stiles. Taking his lip between his teeth Stiles set a faster pace. His movements were jerky and unsure but Derek knew his was the first cock Stiles has ever touched other than his own, and it turned him on more than it should. He came surprisingly quick, mess landing on his belly and Stiles' fingers. He almost come again when Stiles lifted a curious hand to his mouth, sniffed then poked his pink tongue out to clean himself up.

'Spunky.' He said with a cheeky grin. 'Was that ok?' he asked, his voice a little unsure as he swiped his fingers across the come splattered on Derek's belly, and sucked them into his mouth before bending and cleaning the last of it away from Derek's skin.

'More than ok.' Derek growled flipping Stiles so he was on his back. Derek hovered above him. He longed to blow Stiles, to suck his cock into his mouth and taste all the juices he could. Though being cautious he wanted to move at Stiles' pace, so he reached a hand down copying Stiles. His fist was damp from sweat and the healthy amount of pre-cum that's dribbled down Stiles' shaft. Derek wrapped his big hand around Stiles', and couldn't help but admire how pale Stiles looked against him, then he pulled and tugged Stiles the way he worked himself when he's leaning against the shower wall. Stiles whined and fucked into his hand. Derek swept his thumb across the top of Stiles' sensitive prick then worked it back to the base. Stiles was close, his earlier exploration had him hard long before Derek touched him so it was no surprise when he cum quickly, covering his belly and Derek's hand. Derek brought his fingers to his mouth and sucked them inside but Stiles reached his head up to help him clean up.

'I want to taste, to compare.' Stiles whispered. Derek groaned he knew he could turn him over and fuck him for hours. They both had the stamina to go on. Instead he let Stiles help him, their tongues tangling around his hand before he pushed his face into Stiles, licking the taste from his mouth. Derek rolled onto his side, and kicked his pants from his feet and felt Stiles do the same. He fell back into a doze with a possessive arm around his mate's waist.

The second time he woke Linda was in his room collecting dirty washing. Stiles was snuggled against him as tight as possible, head buried in his pillow. Linda looked smug as she collected the fallen clothes from around the room. She set something on top of one of the dresser. Derek was too sleepy to care but recognised Stiles' embarrassed scent. He caught sight of Laura trying to poke her head in and mentally cursed nosey sisters. Maybe he'd go use the internet today and find himself somewhere proper to live because three days here is already two too many.

When the door shut Stiles twisted in his arms. 'Your mom took my clothes.' He said and his voice was panicked.

Derek decided to get up, he could hear Amy and Judith bickering over a hairdryer and Carter was blaring his music. Laura was in her old room, did she ever go home? He dreaded to think what they were all up to. There was no way he'd get peace to sleep for a few more hours. Tugging on a pair of jogging bottoms, he hunted for something, anything that might not look ridiculous on Stiles. The door opened and Stiles who was standing beside the bed naked squeaked and shot under the covers. Laura smirked at Derek.

'Nice choice Alpha.' Derek ignored her, studying the blue jeans in her hand. 'For Stiles. They're Carters.' She said.

'Get out.' Derek said taking the jeans.

'What's up?' Laura asked mock concern in her voice. 'Isn't Alpha getting some?' She ran squealing from the room as one of Derek's baseball gloves followed her into the hallway. He heard her laughing with Judith and Carter.

'Mom left you shorts.' He said tossing the brand new pack that was on the dresser onto the bed. Stiles blushed as he tried not to think of someone else buying him underpants. 'And these might fit.' He handed the jeans to Stiles. He tugged a clean t-shirt out of his case and threw it to Stiles. Stiles pulled it over his head. It was massive, hanging off his shoulders and Derek couldn't hide a chuckle. 'You look cute.' He said then frowned, wondering where he learnt that word. He blamed Amy.

He opened the bedroom door and glared at his siblings as they gathered to mock him. 'Amy. Come in here for me.' Derek said tugging her into his room.

'What?' She asked. Stiles was dressed and trying to pull the bed covers into some semblance of order.

'If you unpack my suitcase and tidy this room I'll give you fifty bucks.'

'Lazy bastard.' Carter said from outside the room. Amy held out her hand and Derek rolled his eyes grabbing his wallet and tugging out three notes.

'You got any tens?' He asked her, watching as she plucked the three notes from his fingers and stuffed them into her pocket.

'Nope. Your loss big bro.' She said as she lifted clothes from his case and stuffed them into his dresser. 'I'll leave these drawers for Stiles.' She said.

'I don't need drawers.' Stiles said instantly, eyes wide in panic. Derek chuckled, pressing a kiss to his mate's mouth before he left the room.

'I'm hungry.' He announced to no one in particular as he made his way to the kitchen. Stiles followed, ignoring the smirks in the hallway. He looked away from Carter, remembering a hundred bruises associated with Carter's fists so he wasn't particularly interested in aggravating him. Derek was already eating when he got to the table. Linda gave Stiles a big smile and set a plate of scrambled eggs in front of him.

Derek snapped the newspaper up after Alan got up from the table, giving Stiles a good morning nod. Derek flicked through it until he found the property pages. Stiles ate in silence, looking around the big family kitchen where Linda seemed to be waiting to feed people at all times. She was baking as well; she always seemed to be up to something. The Hale's definitely had large appetites.

'What do you think?' Derek asked showing Stiles a rental advertisement for a three bedroom apartment in what used to be an old factory. One month's rent cost more than Stiles' jeep. It was top floor, the only apartment on that floor. Stiles imagined it to be all brick walls and big windows and very art deco.

'Looks cool on paper.' Stiles said spooning some eggs into his mouth. Derek grunted but kept the paper between them, eyes flicking over each advertisement. He grabbed a pen from the middle of the table and stuck a few marks on the page. Then he rose and took a long drink of his coffee, dumped his plate in the sink and hunted through the cupboards for more food, coming away with a pile of pastries. He sat down and scoffed one while he watched Alan talk to David through the window. Stiles finished his food and was about to tidy his plates away when Linda lifted his plate and the newspaper, rolling it and stuffing it into a cupboard. Stiles frowned, wondering what she was up to before Derek distracted him.

'Do you want to go out for lunch?'

'You've only eaten breakfast.' Stiles pointed out. Derek just shrugged and turned back to the window. 'Garden needs weeded.' He said. 'Has Carter got a job yet?'

'Don't know.' Linda said from her place at the sink.

'Carter!' Derek yelled at the top of his voice. They heard the shuffle of feet and Derek's younger brother appeared in the kitchen. 'Have you found a job yet?'

'Do you have a job?'

'Yes, I'm the Alpha of Beacon Hills.' Derek said. 'Do you have a job or not?'

'No.'

'Mum's garden needs weeded. I would do it but I'm busy this afternoon.'

'You're not busy now.'

'I will be in fifteen minutes, and you're busy then too. Weed the garden when we get back from our hunt.' Derek said as he got up and stretched. 'Call Scott and ask him to meet us here.' Derek turned to Stiles and Stiles obeyed immediately.

Along with Carter, Judith, Amy and Steve, they all made their way into the woods. They headed to the place Derek found Stiles first. Derek was pissed that this was the first chance he had to come back here to examine the space in daylight. There was a lot of blood on the log Stiles fell against and Stiles swallowed as he realised it's his own.

'Scott does anything smell familiar. You ran with him one night.' Derek said, frowning at Stiles' best friend. Scott sniffed in frustration. 'Just concentrate.' Derek said. Judith was busy playing with her nails and Amy was bouncing around the group. Derek reached an arm out and grabbed her pulling her into his side.

'Behave pup.' He told her good naturedly. Scott frowned and made off into the woods, following his nose. Derek swung Amy, his arm wrapped under her arms as they follow and she squealed. When he dumped her on the ground and sprinted away she latched onto Stiles grinning up at him.

'Hi.' She said and Stiles swallowed nervously. He's seen that look, hell he created that look. She's up to something. Some sort of devilment. 'Can I get a piggy back?'

Hoisting onto his back he trotted after the group, coming to a stop when they found the wolves standing around and looking down. There was a carcass of a deer, half eaten. Derek sniffed the air but looked disappointed. 'I think this is where I was turned.' Scott said looking at the deer. 'I remember tripping over something and it was dead, but fresh dead. Then…it's fuzzy.'

'Let's go back.' Derek said falling into step with Stiles and his cargo. 'Are you working out there.' Derek grinned at Stiles but he poked Amy in the ribs.

'Just a bit.' Stiles said. He had one arm wrapped under her thighs the other resting on her foot. Derek slowed, letting the others get ahead a bit before reaching over and taking Stiles' free hand. They walked like that for another half mile before Amy wanted down. She immediately pushed her way in between them, taking both their hands in her own. Derek watched Stiles reaction, and was delighted when Stiles beamed at Amy. 'I always wanted a little sister.' He told them.

'You can have her.' Derek said immediately. Amy pouted up at him.

'You'd be lost without me. Who would eavesdrop for you on Uncle Daniel when he's on the telephone outside.' she said quietly. Derek stopped walking and looked down at her.

'What did he say?'

'Just about how granddad messed up the plan and how you weren't going to be as easy to beat, but then Uncle Peter said something about a new plan.' She said.

'What plan?' Derek frowned down at her.

'I don't know but I don't like it. They sounded like they wanted to be Alpha too much.' Amy said. Derek started to walk again, tugging them along behind him. His mind was whirling with what they could be up to. He knew they planned to weaken him, but it would be impossible to do physically. Neither of them was strong enough. They could use this rogue Alpha but if Derek couldn't find it then he's wasn't sure they could. They could take away his pack, bit by bit, but surely they wouldn't harm their own flesh and blood would they? He at least didn't think Daniel would but under Peter's influence who knew what the man would do. Then there was the whole 'as easy' thing that Amy had mentioned. Did David know he was going to be challenged as severely by his sons? Derek was sure his Granddad did know and that was why Derek was Alpha of the Hale Pack right now.

He looked at his little sister so trusting holding his hand, and his mate who he loved already, who he can't imagine being without. These two right here could hurt him the most. He needed to have a chat with his Granddad he decided.

Don't forget to let me know what you think!
