A/N.
Alright, I'm going to do two different endings, the happy one first, and then I'm going to shatter your hearts and make you cry like a baby by writing the so angsty ending that it will make me feel bad.
Other than that I don't have anything to say other than a promise to Jaylene that there would be a kiss between Derek and Scott in this chapter.
Thank you so much to Jaylene Olebar and GFM for reviewing.
Chapter nine.
I do.
Trust, so hard to gain and yet so
easy to break.
Derek POV.
He tried to block out the sounds of pain that was coming from Scott, the screams and howls, as Deaton and the woman named Alice worked on him, trying to make him stable again, fixing what should never have needed fixing in the first place if he had gotten his head out of his ass.
His heart broke when Alice stepped away from the teen and looked up at Deaton with a head shake, her face and her scent told him everything.
"I'm not sure. I have never treated anything like this and if I have to guess, I would say that he's slowing his healing down," she said and Derek felt two sets of eyes on him.
"Go tell Isaac. Doc, I'll go in his head, watch us," he orders and waits for them to follow his orders before he go near Scott again and slowly strokes his cheek with a soft smile before he jabs his claws into the young wolfs neck.
He's met by darkness, then as the seconds slowly tick by, his surrounding started to take shape. He was in a forest, snow covered the ground he stood on and he looked confused around.
"Der?" a soft voice sounded from behind him and he slowly turned around to look at Scott. The teen was wearing what he had had on when he had jumped and the Alpha couldn't suppress the shiver that went through him when he discovered it.
He smiled sadly and reached out with a hand, trying to coax Scott to move closer to him.
The pup looked at his hand like it would eat him alive, but walked forward still. When Scott was within reach, Derek gripped the teen's hand and yanked him forward in a hug, slowly rubbing his face against Scott's.
Scott didn't do anything but after a couple seconds he could feel the pup relax and he smiled as he felt the teen take deep breath and soon the hug was returned and he could feel the pup shiver and the scent of shame became obvious again when Scott tried to pull away from him. He just tightened his grip and forced Scott to stay where he was.
"Der, I'm sorr-"
"Don't," he interrupted and looked Scott in the eyes, his own bleeding crimson.
"Never do that! What were you thinking, huh? That right now you are lying on a metal table, almost every single bone in your body is broken! How could you do that to us?" he broke off before he could start crying and he turned his back to Scott and tried to calm himself down.
"It's not right," he heard Scott start behind him.
"Shouldn't be allowed, Peter said that and, and," Scott stopped speaking behind him and he turned around to see the pup had become even paler than before and he looked up at the Alpha in panic.
"What's happening?" he asked panicked as tears began to well up in his eyes.
Derek sighed and looked down at the snow covered ground before he decided to just answer the teen.
"You're dying. You're not letting yourself heal, or rather, your wolf is not letting you heal, it thinks that your mate and Alpha is refusing you."
He looked up when he heard Scott whine, "I knew for a long time how you felt about me, I could smell it on you, the tiniest amount of arousal and interest when we was near each other. I should have acted sooner, either to stop the bond from even beginning or-"he stopped speaking, not really knowing what he could say.
"I'm no-," he rushed to stand in front of Scott and pressed a bruising kiss to the younger wolfs lips, Scott gasped in surprise and opened his mouth, making Derek force his way into the teen's mouth.
It only lasted five seconds but when he pulled away Scott looked like he was in a daze, his eyes glazed over and breathing ragged. The sight made Derek smile.
He moved his hands to Scott's shoulders and let them stay there as the pup got his brain working again. It finally happened when he looked up at the Alpha with surprise and hope in his eyes, voicing all the words that he didn't dare say out loud.
"Let yourself heal Scott, please."
The pup sighed and his scent changed from content to bitter and hateful.
"He said it was wrong," Scott whispered from where his mouth was hidden in Derek's shirt.
He didn't need to ask who he was, it was Peter.
He growled low and deep in his chest and tightened his arms around Scott, "He lied Scott. He was angry over the bond that we share, mad at himself that he had created the very thing that made me happy again." He allowed himself to smile a little.
"Me," Scott asked carefully and the bitter scent was replaced by hope and a careful happiness.
"Yes, you," he said and let his own mouth find Scott's again, kissing the teen with gentleness and love, hoping that he by that could convince the young wolf to heal.
He moved his mouth down to kiss at Scott's neck, nipping at the skin, relishing in the sounds that the teen made. He pressed one final kiss to his neck before he moved towards his mouth again, growling when he felt Scott push his hip against his, the feeling was unlike anything he had ever felt before.
He could feel the teen's hands fisting his shirt and pulling at the material, whining when the Alpha pulled away, his eyes downcast and he could see and smell the blood before he saw it. Scott's hands were clenched and blood dripped from where his claws cut into his skin.
He stepped forward and pulled Scott's hands up to his chest and said lowly, "You're not ready for that yet Scott, trust me," he whispered and his heart nearly broke when the pup looked at him, eyes golden but he whispered again.
"I do."
Derek came back with a gasp, his chest heaving and hands immediately pulled him over to a chair and a hopeful voice asked him.
"He's coming back?"
He sighed and smiled while reaching forward and giving Isaac a gentle squeeze.
"Yeah buddy, he's coming back."
He doesn't realize that he's crying until the vet hands him some paper and gives him a small smile and asks him with a small voice.
"What did you say to him?"
Derek can't stop the smile from breaking out on his face and he almost started laughing at the shocked expressions of Isaac's and Deaton's faces.
"I didn't say that much, but I think he got the message," he looked at Isaac before adding, "When he gets up to it again, I need you to leave the lair for a few days."
The beta just nodded and Derek moved closer to Scott, curling a hand around his wrist and taking his pain. There was still no response but the Alpha was positive that he would wake up soon.
It happened later that night, everybody except him, had gone to sleep, Isaac had gone back to the lair at his request, the younger beta had needed the rest.
He was woken up by the whimpers, small sounds of distress coming from the wolf on the table and Derek was by his side in a second, hoping that he would be able to calm down the teen when he really woke up.
A sharp intake of breath and Scott's eyes snapped open to reveal and swirling golden color, bringing forward Derek's own crimson.
He could see and feel Scott relax under his hand and the pup whimpered in pain, it would take a while for him to fully heal, but Derek would be there for him.
"Hey," he said lowly and he could see the tears begin to roll down Scott's cheeks. He moved his hands to carefully move Scott's head so they looked at each other, "Hey, what's wrong, it's okay."
He could see the teen try to take a deep breath but it ended in a whimper and Scott squeezed his eyes tight shut, more tears coming as Derek could see the levels of pain rising.
He reached a hand down to take some of the pain away but stopped when an almost inaudible voice sounded.
"No, please don't, don't take anymore," Scott wheezed and tried to move his arm out of Derek's grasp but he was still too weak to move much.
"Sleep Scott," he said and kissed the younger man's lips softly and watched as Scott drifted off again.
There would be work to do when they got back the lair. He needed to talk to Scott, needed to know for how long the pup had felt like he had towards him, because he didn't think that it had only first started when he had become an Alpha, he would have to ask.
He sighed and let his face rest in his hands. He needed to talk to people other than Deaton or Isaac, perhaps, no. he shook his head, he promised the man that he would never contact him again unless it was an emergency but this could be seen as an emergency.
With yet another sigh he let his head fall back against the wall and let the sleep take him away.
A/N.
Fluff with a small amount of angst. To Jaylene, do you want more kisses or a full out sex scene?
I have no idea how long this is going to be, but I think I can guarantee at least two more chapters.
Review, please they really make my day.
