Derek had heard the soft footfalls of two people nearby a few minutes ago, before they approached the house closer. He still wasn't comfortable being in this house, it was dilapidated and left him vulnerable and open but he didn't have anywhere else to go. Standing on one of the remaining sections of the second story level, he ran his hand through his short hair. Closing his eyes slowly to help him focus, he inhaled the evening air traveling through the large gaping space that was his roof. He recognized the first scent almost immediately. Isaac was one of the two but there was another that he couldn't quite place. He took another breath, it was familiar yet he still didn't know what or who it belonged to. His eyes opened as he became frustrated with himself. His sense of smell wasn't going to help him if he wanted to identify the unknown person before they got any closer. Moving to one of the empty windows, shattered glass scattered along the floorboards, he stared down at the two figures, just breaking through the trees. He focused in on the two silhouettes and ignored the tall lanky figure identifying it as his Beta's. He deducted from the second person's smaller frame that the it was a female, her head reaching Isaacs shoulder.
Derek watched as the girl started shifting back and forth from one foot to the other, leaves crunching loudly under her weight. He knew that Isaac was waiting for a signal from himself, or for him to meet them outside, he had overheard him whisper it to the shorter figure. Derek couldn't figure out why Isaac had brought her here. He was idiotic sometimes and he infuriated derek a lot. He had good intentions but Derek didn't need Bata's with good intention, he wanted loyal beta's that would follow his command. Most of the time Isaac, second guessed his Alpha. Derek's attention heightened when he noticed she stood still. She could have possibly been another werewolf but he would have picked up undertone of wolf in the persons scent. Although, his nose wasn't placing the familiar scent as quickly as he thought, so he didn't want to rely on it. Her heart beat increases pace and he could hear her breathing grow slightly ragged.
"Fuck it," he heard the girl speak harshly and saw her striding up towards the house, noticing Isaac's hand reaching out to grab her but he had already missed the opportunity when she was closer to him. Derek sighed, he didn't want uninvited guests inside or even near his home, at least what was left of it. Moving silently from the window, he stood at the top of the staircase deciding what he was going to do. He couldn't attack the pair because Isaac was his beta and if he attacked the smaller figure alone, he was certain that Isaac would intervene and defend them. His hands clasped into fists as he heard her moving closer towards him. He stepped down the staircase and made it silently outside in less then a second, stopping directly into the girl's path. He watched as she stalked closer to him, not moving, he folded his arms across his chest and scowled. He was going to intimidate her or at the least try and scare some sense into her. As she walked into him she lost her balance and turned around. He started at her, narrowing his eyes as she... smirked.
As he looked down at her, blue eyes, almost identical to the pair set into his own beta's face, stared directly back. His concentration broke briefly as Isaac came forward and Derek noticed the way that he stood in front of the girl defensively. His eyes shifted from hers to his as Isaac began to speak but barely 5 words had passed his lips before the girl stepped in front of Isaac.
Her chin rose slightly and her back straightened, trying to make herself as tall as she could. "Georgie Lahey, and if you even think of starting any bullshit with me, I can guarantee that I'll kill you and I won't regret it. You got that!? I'm assuming you're Derek Hale, the asshole who decided it would be a good idea to turn my teenage brother into some supernatural fucking monster." Her voice chimed, echoing and bouncing off the swarm of trees behind her, coming to an edged clipped end. He could smell the amount of anger and resentment that poured off her. Admitting to himself that she was gutsy for being so crass, he also thought she was stupid to be so. As he stood there he subtly took a deep breath, inhaling her scent, trying to figure out why it was so familiar. Racking his brain of all possibilities, he couldn't come to a conclusion. She wasn't a werewolf, he knew that and she didn't have any residual scents from his other pack members. Isaac tried speaking up again and Derek stopped him abruptly by raising his hand, seeing his eyes shift between blue, gold and then back again. He didn't want to hear Isaacs voice. The girl, Georgie, didn't take any notice of him and continued to bore her eyes into his own.
"What? Are you trying to be brooding and mysterious right now? Because it's not working, you just seem fucking rude to me." The wind shifted, wafting a heavy dose of her scent towards him, over powering his senses momentarily. She smelt like Jasmine, cinnamon and unmistakably, impatience.
He groaned internally. Whoever she was in relation to Isaac, he had a sense that she was only going to cause problems. She had an attitude which was blunt and crass, it caused Derek to be slightly on edge.
He decided to offer his hand to her, keeping the other tucked to his chest, murmuring "Derek."
An electric shock travelled through his arm as soon as his skin made contact with hers, warming his body and spreading into his very core. Without thought, his lips parted and spilled her name as if he had known it all his life, "Georgiana." He new with certainty what her future was going to be. Her future was with him, as his... mate.
As soon as he said her name, it felt like his head had been filled with an excess of information in a microscopic amount of time. Her emotions overrode his as if a flood gate had been opened between them and hers were pouring into his system, anger and shock the most prevalent but protectiveness and mistrust had weaved themselves through the link, they were now sharing. Her features heightened and he became more aware of the person standing in front of him. She wasn't a girl, she was a woman. Her dark brown locks had been pulled unceremoniously into a small bun and stark blues eyes deep-set into the soft framework of her face above plump, moist lips. Her beige skin was smooth, fabricating the curves of her body, the leanness of her arms and legs only emphasizing them further. He was instantaneously aware of everything that encompassed her being, everything spilling through into his system within seconds. It felt like his entire self was being short circuited and then rewired, his perspective shifting and changing. He looked down into her eyes, as hers widened and finally, turned fearful as she looked back at Isaac.
Their hands parted as Isaac stepped in front of her again, she shuffled behind him willingly this time. Instantly he felt the disconnection and the dismay at the break of contact fell over him. Isaac cleared his throat and an awkward silence settled between the three bodies.
"How the fuck do you know my name?" He could see her eyes narrow towards him and he smiled down at her. After the initial shock, she was growing defiant again, edging out of Isaacs protection. Silence followed for a few seconds before he could feel her anger towards him building, radiating off her. He shrugged and turned around slowly, a grimace appeared on his face. A mate, was the last thing he needed right now, it was ridiculous. She would be his weakness and there wasn't a way that he could protect her without raising suspicion and having to tell the pack everything.
"An educated guess," he replied gruffly, opening the door and retreating inside. This is going to be a pain in the arse, he thought.
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for following and favorite'ing my story, it means so much that other people think my fic is interesting and worth reading! So obviously I wasn't quite sure where to take the direction of Derek's perspective of their meeting... and this is the result. I'm thinking of having alternating chapters between Georgie and Derek so that you can see how all these feely-wheelies and thoughts develop. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
NB: Her character will be weaving in and out of the TrueWolf original plot line, starting from 3:07, but it won't follow the episodes directly and I might just take it into my own realm of imagination after that.
Cheers! ~antiqua
