"They found paige's body. They are ruling it of as an animal attack." Belle said looking at derek who was lying on his bed he didn't say anything just nodded. She sighed and sat down next to him on the bed. Derek had blatantly refused to go to her memorial service today
She pulled his hand into hers before speaking. "Did you love her?" she asked And Derek looked up to her surprised at the at the question before nodding a yes "she told me she loved me before she died" he said quietly "Then I think you owe it to her to be there today. Remember her the way she deserves to be remembered Derek, instead of sitting on your ass feeling sorry for yourself like you have been doing for the past week." She said and derek looked away from her.
"Do this for her." She said quietly "okay" Derek said defeated and got up heading towards the bathroom. Belle smiled a little satisfied with herself that she got him to agree to going today. She knew it would be a difficult day for him but she also knew he needed this closure. And she would be there with him every step of the way.
She went off to her room to get ready herself. The entire Hale pack were going to the ceremony today to pay their respect to paige's family. By the time she was done. Everyone else was ready. They all went off towards their cars and jumped in. Derek, Belle and Cora went towards Laura's car and got in once she opened the door.
Belle sat next to Derek in the back seat while Cora was in the front. Derek had Belle's hand clasped tightly in his own while they both looked out the window. When they got to the church Derek grab Belle's hand, Belle gave Derek a small smile and squeezed his hand and together they both walked into the church along with the rest of their family
Derek stuck by Belle the entire time, hardly ever leaving her side. She hated to say it but paige's death may have brought them closer than ever. Soon the Ceremony had come to an end and the Hale pack said there goodbyes to the family before leaving.
At home Belle sat on her bed with a grim look on her face. She just remembered her little chat with Deucalion, With everything that had happened with paige she had completely forgotten about Deucalion. Tomorrow was the day he had asked her to meet him. After tomorrow he would be gone. She wasn't going to go and accept the bite but there was a small part of her that was already regretting the decision.
Derek walked into the room and threw himself on Belle's bed. He looked up at her and noticed the look on her face. "Hey you okay?" He asked. "Yea I'm fine just thinking." She said quietly giving him a small smile. He wasn't really convinced so he decide to press the issue."What you thinking about. You seem kinda stressed." Belle looked at him before shaking head. "Its Nothing really" she said before moving to get up. Derek grabbed her hand and pulled her back down, he put his arm around her preventing her from moving again.
"Belle we've never lied to each other before so don't start now. So tell me what wrong and don't lie to me because ill be able to see right trough it. I know you too well for that." He said giving her a pointed look.
Belle sighed in defeat. He was right she never did lie to Derek before and she definitely wasn't going to start now. "There's an Alpha still in town, one of your mothers friends, his name is Deucalion. He..He offered me the bite Derek." She said and looked down. Derek was silent, he wasn't even looking at Belle.
"Derek? Say something." She said taking his face in her hands and turned it towards her. "What did you say, when he offered you the bite." He asked solemnly. "I didn't accept the offer if that's what your thinking. But he said he would give me time to think about it." Belle sighed before speaking again "he said that if I want the bite that I should come to the old distillery where he will be waiting for me tomorrow. And if I don't show then he will know that I'm rejecting his offer."
She decided not to tell him the reason Deucalion gave her the offer in the first place. She still hadn't told him about what happened at the distillery because Talia still wanted them to keep that a secret. The only other people to know other than Talia and Deaton were her parents and Talia wanted to keep it that way for some reason.
"Your not going to go right? You can't go, please Belle just tell me your not going to accept a bite from this alpha. Belle?" Belle didn't say anything so derek spoke again. "Belle please don't do this. I can't lose you to. I was able to make it through paige's death. But Belle I can tell you now ill never survive if I were to ever loose you, ill never make it. Your my best friend Belle, your like my other half I could never live without you, Ever." Derek said in a almost broken voice
Belle looked at Derek and kissed his cheek before speaking. "Der I'm not going to accept the bite. I'm happy the way I am, I like being human... And I would never put you through the torture of wondering if I will survive the bite especially after what happened to paige. Plus ill always have you here to protect me so I don't need some silly bite. Right." Derek nodded his head and bent down to kiss her forehead.
"Right. Ill always be here for you belle I promise you that. It will always be me and you Belle. Forever." Derek said
"Me and you. Forever?" Belle looked up at Derek. He looked down at her. His eyes not leaving hers. "Forever"
