The music pulsed from within the house and the stench of alcohol and Tobacco overwhelmed me as I stepped through the threshold. "So, this is what a high-school party looks like?"

I asked stiles turning slightly to be heard over the noise. When I got no reply I turned fully. "Stiles? Now where did you go?"

I asked myself while turning this way and that. Finally I spotted the skittish boy. He was standing off to the side staring as Lydia laughed and applied her lipstick.

I sighed. When would that boy ever learn... it was like as soon as Lydia did so much as batted a eyelash at him he was falling over him self to get to her, drooling.

"well, boys will be boys." I told myself with a snicker. "you got that right." said a smooth velvety voice from beside me. I let out a gasp and sharply spun around. "Derek, don't do that to me." I whined.

He stared at me, a twinkle in his eye and looked like he was struggling not to grin. "what, agree with you? Okay, but I thought most women wanted guys to agree with them." he said and shrugged his shoulders.

I glared up at him and slapped him playfully." Derek Hale, you know exactly what I mean; don't use your abilities to sneak up on me!" I said. He smiled and let me push him back, grabbing my hand in his and looking down at the contrast between my pale hand and his lightly tanned one.

"all jokes aside, I'm going to check on Scott, be careful okay? The alpha could be any of these people."he said gently stroking his calloused thumb across my fingers. I stared at him, what caused him to be like this, he was so hostile with Scott and Stiles but here he was being, concerned about me? I didn't understand this guy."okay, I will."

I said as I felt my face flush as he looked down into my eyes, when had his eyes gotten so green? I blinked and by the time I opened my eyes he was gone.

I grabbed a pop from the cooler and drunk it straight down. The heat that rolled off the sweaty bodies was really starting to get to me.

It had been an hour since Derek had went to look for Scott. Stiles had came over and we danced to a couple songs, but he kept his eyes on Lydia the whole time,

hoping she'd notice the close proximity we were in and get jealous. I sighed, poor boy. Poor Scott, poor Alison, poor me. I closed my eyes as the tears threatened to spill out. How had our lives got so crazy in the matter of weeks? The heat becoming to much for me I ran outside into the cool night air.

Closing my eyes again I leaned against the wall, willing the panic attack to leave me...after calming down a little I headed back toward the house, turning the corner Derek was there leaning against the wall. "um, I.." he put his finger up to his lips.

I watched as he slowly walked toward me, a dangerous smile on his face as his hands trapped my body against the wall."do you not understand what be careful means?" he whispered painfully close to my ear. i smiled "good to see you too Derek." he stared at me through thick black lashes. "being out here, alone was not a smart idea. If I could find you so could the alpha, why are you making this so hard on me." he spoke his lips gently touching my earlobe.

I closed my eyes, and moan deep in my throat. His head shoots back and he stares hard at me. My eyes are wide as he leans back in touching his lips to my throat.

His tongue darts out and he begins an assault on my neck. I grip his hair and lean my head to the side granting him better access.

He smiles into my neck and pulls me closer. But it is shortly lived as Stiles runs around the corner running into both of us. He stares at us. We both start to speak when he holds up a hand.

"don't want to even know." he says. "what do you want Stiles?" Derek says, his voice husky no doubt with desire. I glance at him out of the corner of my eye.

He's looking at me and his eyes are a color I've never seen before, icy blue. I look away quickly and bite my lip.

What would have happened if Stiles hadn't come when he did? But before I could dwell on it two boys run up to us.

"there he is. Your gonna pay for touching my girl." says the tallest and biggest boy. I step into front of Stiles." listen here little boy my man didn't touch your skank. And if he did, she was the one who probably came onto him, right babe?"

I ask turning and smiling sweetly at Stiles. "um, yeah baby, your right.." he said smirking at the two boys. "wait, your dating Stiles? But your hot."

he said looking at me. I smiled." honey, my Stiles is all man, if you know what I mean." I say and wrapping my arms around my 'baby'.

They look at each other, then to me and Stiles, finally they smile and high-five stiles. "wow, man... sorry, we didn't know you had it in you."

stiles smiles and says. "actually its in her." he says joking.

A growl ripples out of Derek. "well. I guess we'll be going now. Bye Stiles." they run off. I look at Stiles and slap him. "she has it in her." I say glaring at him. "sorry, I got excited." he says and rubs his cheek.

"whatever. Is that all you wanted?" I ask. "no, there was something else.. oh yeah, Scott left by himself.. said something about 'it happening'" he says and shrugs. "Stiles!" we both say. "why didn't you tell us earlier." Derek says glaring.

Stiles opens his mouth and then makes a face that looks like. 'oh, yeah.' I sigh and we head to the cars. "wait you two are riding with me." Derek says grabbing a hold of my hand. I blush and nod.

We get in the car, me infront with Derek and Stiles in the back. I look down and our hands are still together. I blush even more, and look over at Derek. He feels me staring and smiles down at me, squeezing my hand and I lose myself in his green depths.
