You took on my rough around the edges
Never let it ruffle up your feathers, angel
Yeah I'm down for life, you got me wrapped around your finger
And I like it just in case you can't tell
You make it easy
Lovin' up on you
Make it easy
With every little thing you do
You're my sunshine in the darkest days
My better half, my saving grace
You make me who I wanna be
You make it easy
Stealin' kisses undercover babe
I see forever when I see your face
And I swear God made you for me
-You Make it Easy by Jason Aldean
The next time Derek woke up was about 12 hours later. I had crawled into bed next to him to take a nap around noon, exhausted out of my mind from being up for around 24 hours. I was woken up by Derek sticking his finger in my ear. I opened my eyes and glared at him.
"Can I help you?" I asked sleep heavy in my voice.
"I have to pee." I blinked at him.
"Okay?"
"I have to pee, and I need your help getting to the bathroom." I sighed and rolled myself out of bed. I headed over to his side and looked at his back. The wound was about a third of the way healed now and relief flooded through me knowing that he was going to be okay.
"Well you're going to have to roll over for starters." I told him. I watched him suck in a deep breath before rolling over as fast as he could. A stinging pain shot through my back and I watched Derek cringe trying to hold back a cry of pain.
"Slower is probably better in this case dear. Let's try to do this without causing either of us more pain than necessary." I told him as if he were a child. He just glared at me. I reached a hand out towards him.
"Alright let's get you sitting up. Do you want to actually go to the bathroom or would you rather me find you a bottle?" I questioned.
"I'm not pissing in a bottle." I shrugged. He grabbed onto my hand and slowly we pulled him into a sitting position. He let out a groan of pain at finally being sat up. He slowly released my grip and placed both hands on the bed turning himself so that his feet dangled over the edge.
"You doing okay?"
"My back has a bunch of holes in it. How do you think I'm doing?" I rolled my eyes and chose not to comment. He was obviously in pain, and for the moment could have a pass to be a douche without me calling him out on it.
"Alright green eyes. Stand when you're ready." He nodded taking another deep breath to center himself before he began to push off from the bed reaching out with one hand when he was about half way up.
I grabbed onto his arm helping him to stand the rest of the way.
"You know I think I have some Vicodin from when I got my wisdom teeth out a couple months ago. You wanna try taking some of that?" I asked him as I slipped under his shoulder to help steady him. He nodded, face clenched in pain.
It took us a few minutes to get to the bathroom taking it one step at a time. Echoes of pain shooting through my back the whole way there.
Once he was finished and back in bed I went back to the bathroom filling a glass of water and grabbing the bottle of pills. There was still 10 in there that I hadn't used. I pulled out two figuring that with Derek's werewolf metabolism that'd be an okay dose considering they had told me to only take one. I put the pills into his mouth and he greedily drank from the straw sucking down the whole glass of water.
"Do you want to try eating something?" I questioned.
"No. Go back to sleep. We both need more rest." He told me. I nodded agreement and climbed back into bed falling asleep almost instantly.
The next morning around 10 I woke up to the sound of my apartment door shutting. I jumped out of bed quickly grabbing my gun from the nightstand and rushed into the kitchen and saw Anna standing there with two cups of coffee and a takeout bag.
I smiled widely at the blonde.
"You're a fucking godsend." I told her placing the gun on the table. She laughed and thrust the drink carrier into my greedy hands. I grabbed it from her and pulled a cup from it beginning to gulp down the hot beverage.
"I figured you could use a pick me up. Breakfast burritos from the coffee house." She told me holding up the bag. I hummed gratefully enjoying the warmth that spread through me as the coffee reached my stomach. I took the bag from her and pulled out two of the three burritos handing her one. We both dug in quickly and headed towards the bedroom.
"How ya doing wolf?" She asked Derek as she saw him awake and looking towards us.
"Better. Thanks witch." He responded.
"Mind if I take a look?" She asked. He nodded. Anna walked towards Derek's side of the bed while I headed back to mine pulling out a burrito for him.
"Damn this is healing quicker than I imagined. Your saliva gave the salve a real kick." She told us. I looked to Derek's back and saw that the wounds were about two thirds of the way healed now.
"You still in a lot of pain D?" I questioned eyeing the wounds. We could probably take the stitches out. He shook his head and slowly started to sit up.
"Not so much anymore." He responded reaching for the burrito I had for him. I smiled relieved as he started to eat.
"You should be able to take the stitches out, Cora. Then get him a shower. He reeks." Anna said with a teasing smile towards Derek. The wolf just rolled his eyes and continued to eat his food.
"Yeah I know it's giving me a headache." I said with a smirk. Anna laughed as Derek glared at me.
"Alright I'm gonna head down and open up the bar. You guys let me know if there's anything you need."
"Thanks Anna banana. Love you." She smiled widely and gave me a hug before leaving.
"Love you tooooo." I turned to Derek as she left.
"Let's get those stitches out hun bun." I spent the next half hour carefully removing the stitches from his back. After we were done I threw the sheets in the washer with some bleach to try and get the blood stains out.
"Do you need me to help you into the shower?" I asked standing in front of Derek. He shook his head and stood himself up. He headed towards the bathroom dropping his boxers on the way.
"Come wash my back though." He called over his shoulder.
Once we were both situated in the showers Derek allowed me to stand under the spray and wash quickly first. As I was lathering my hair with shampoo I felt him grab onto my boobs and begin massaging them. I peeked open an eye.
"What are you doing?" I asked. He sent me a wolfish grin in response.
"No." I told him rinsing the shampoo from my hair.
"C'mon C. I feel better." I glared at him reaching for my conditioner.
"I don't care D. You almost died. Again. No hanky panky 'til you're one hundred percent."
"I'll be fine." He said trying to convince me.
"Do you have any idea what I've been through? No? Do you know how it feels to watch you almost fucking die twice now Derek? I've been out of my fucking mind with worry."
"I'm sorry." He mumbled, giving me a soft look of understanding. I drew in a deep breath and let it out shakily.
"I cannot lose you Derek. Bond or no bond you're the most important person in my life. I watched you almost die twice now and I ca-" I cut myself off as a chocked sob escaped my lips. All the emotions from the last few days finally catching up to me. Tears began to fall from my eyes and Derek reached out pulling me towards him. I wrapped my arms around him, carefully avoiding the marks in his back, buried my face in his shoulder trying to calm myself down.
He dug one hand into my hair massaging my scalp and the other began drifting up and down my back.
"Hey, hey it's okay. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere Cora." He placed a kiss to the top of my head.
"I was so scared." I whispered against his chest. He used the hand in my hair to tilt my head up to look at him and the other hand came up to rest on my mark his emotions flooding through me. They were beautiful. I hadn't realized just how pure the love he felt for me was until that moment. He stared me dead in the eye as he began to speak.
"Listen to me. I'm not going anywhere. I promise. Alright? I'm right here. Nothing is going to take me away from you C. And nothing is going to take you away from me. I need you Cora Rose. I'm sorry it took me so long to realize just how much I needed you, but better late than never." I chuckled through my tears. "I love you okay? And I promise we will both come out of all of this whole." His eyes never strayed from mine as he spoke and I could feel the resolution of his words through the bond.
I leaned up capturing his lips with mine and his fist tightened in my hair keeping me locked in place. Once we pulled apart Derek placed a chaste kiss to my forehead before reaching for my body wash, spinning me around, he began to wash me. He paid close attention to my shoulders massaging them, and working out the kinks that had built up. I moaned out causing him to let out a lust filled groan. His hands traveled from my shoulders down my back before sliding around to my stomach.
He pulled me tight against him, I could feel his erection digging into my spine as his hands traveled up towards my breasts. As they reached my breasts he began to massage them sending a jolt of lust through me that was intensified by his own. He swirled his fingers around my nipples before pinching them lightly and beginning to place languid kisses against my shoulder. I moaned out as one landed against my mark and I felt a growl of pleasure rumble through his chest. His hands began a smooth downward descent lubricated by the spray of the shower.
Explicit Scene
I let out a wanton moan as his skilled fingers reached my clitoris causing waves of pleasure to head straight to my core causing a wetness that had nothing to do with the shower. He slipped a finger inside of me, and my head fell back against his shoulder a breathless moan escaping my lips.
After a few moments, his fingers fell away from my center and I was spun around to face him. He lifted me quickly pushing my back up against the wall of the shower. His eyes met mine as his hardened member slipped into me causing us both to groan out in pleasure his eyes shifting blue for a moment before changing back to their normal forest green.
He set a slow pace, eyes locked with mine the entire time as we slowly grew closer and closer to our ends with each thrust. My hands went up around his shoulders, fingers pressing into his neck as I gasped out in pleasure as he continued to fill me in the most delicious way.
As the ball in my stomach tightened his thrusts began to speed up bringing us both close to the edge. I bared my mark a clear signal for him to bite me and he growled. His eyes flashed blue and canines extended he bit down onto his mark causing my orgasm to rush through me as I called out his name in pleasure. After another thrust I could feel him empty himself into me. Once he was finished he retracted his canines from my shoulder and began to lick at the wound and nuzzle my neck. I let out a satisfied breath and once he was done I felt him pull himself from me and begin to set me down.
End Scene
Once my feet were on the ground I leaned up and placed a chaste kiss to his lips.
"I love you too." I told him as a response to his declaration from earlier. He smiled at me.
We switched places and I began to wash him being careful not to irritate the wounds on his back.
Once we were out of the shower and dressed I made us some food considering all we'd really eaten the last few days was the breakfast burritos that Anna had brought us this morning.
I took the BLTs that I had made out into the living room and handed one to Derek as I sat down to watch the news with him.
"The hunt for Derek Hale is on after eyewitnesses named him as the culprit in the latest attack at the school Friday night. Police say that Hale killed the janitor, body still undiscovered, and chased five Beacon Hills high children, names unreleased through the school with intent to kill." A picture of Derek from when he had been arrested for Laura's murder flashed onto the screen. "If you have any information police are urging you to call. If you see him do not approach. He is considered armed and dan-" I flipped the channel not really wanting to continue to watch the program. I idly flipped through the channels until I landed on a random comedy playing.
"Your nephew's a fucking idiot." Derek told me taking a bite of his food. I gave him an affronted look.
"Why do you say that like it's my fault." He just smirked at me. Bastard.
Hours later we were cuddled up on the couch, yes Derek Hale loves to cuddle, watching some sappy rom-com that I had talked him into. I wasn't really paying attention though. I more just wanted to watch it to irritate him. I was playing with his fingers that were splayed across my stomach lost in memories of the past.
"What're you thinking so hard about over there?" Derek asked glancing down to me. I smiled softly at him.
"Remember when we met?" I asked. The wolf sent me a teasing smile.
"How could I forget the worst day of my life." I rolled my eyes.
"Asshole." I remarked getting lost in the memory.
Many moons ago
I held tightly to my mother, Tonya's, hand as she led me into the first-grade classroom. At seven years, old I was generally pretty confidant, but today would be my first real day in school because my parents had decided to home school me when I was in kindergarten, so my mother could teach my dad about hunting. Most of the year had been spent at my uncle Bobby's learning about creatures as I did my other schooling. Mom didn't exactly know that though. My favorite was werewolves, because according to Uncle Bobby, "they ain't all bad".
My mom led me to the teacher, a kind middle aged looking woman, who smiled sweetly down at my nervous face.
"Hello, and who might we have here?" She questioned. My mother responded politely.
"This is Cora. She's a little nervous. This is her first time at school." The teacher nodded. She squatted down to my level.
"Hi Cora! My name is Miss Waters. Can you tell me what you're most nervous about?" I looked up to my mother who gave me a comforting smile and nodded her head. I drew in a deep breath before speaking.
"Um.. well. I don't know any kids my age. My only friends are older than me." I told her quietly. She nodded her head in understanding.
"Well, if it makes you feel better, most of the other kids here won't know each other either because a lot of them were in different classes last year. Would you like to set a goal for the day?" She questioned. I nodded curiously.
"How about this. Your goal can be to talk to at least make one friend today." I nodded unsure.
"Okay?" She smiled.
"Sometimes it helps to just have a goal. To know what you're going to accomplish." My mother supplied. If mom agreed with it then it must be a good idea. I nodded again, more sure of myself this time. Mother and Miss Waters exchanged smiles.
"Cora, why don't you go find the hook with your name on it and say goodbye to your mom?" I led my mother over to the coat hooks and we easily found one with my name on it.
"Do you remember what I told you this morning?" Mom asked. I nodded hanging my coat up.
"Just because I know how to punch, doesn't mean I can punch someone if they're being mean." I responded. She chuckled and leaned down and place a kiss on my head.
"I'll be back this afternoon to pick you up, my Rose. We'll go see your dad at work after okay?" I nodded and gave her a hug around the waist. As I watched her leave I caught sight of a boy with dark hair black hair and a grumpy look on his face. We made eye contact and I tried to send him a soft smile, but he just glared at me, before walking to his seat.
At recess, I stood back for a few minutes observing all the different kids on the playground. I noticed a group of boys, one being the one that had glared at me this morning, playing basketball at the child sized hoop. I walked over.
"Can I play?" I asked as they caught sight of me. One boy, a blonde with pasty white skin and a "douche bag attitude" as Dean would say laughed at me.
"Why don't you go play house with all of the other girls?" He taunted. I glared at him.
"Because I want to play basketball." I retorted.
"If she wants to play, Conner, she can play." The dark-haired boy from this morning piped up. Conner glared at him. He turned away from me however and Derek passed the ball to me.
"Have you ever played before?" He asked. I nodded.
"A little bit." I noticed Conner and another boy passing another ball back and forth.
"Do you know how to play HORSE?" I nodded. "Okay you can shoot first." I surveyed the area and found a spot that I thought would be easy to make a shot from.
"Figures the girl would pick the easiest spot." I heard Conner say snidely to the other boy as I took my shot. I sunk in and Derek grabbed the ball coming to take my spot. His shot made it as well, as did the unnamed boy. Conner's however did not make it and I snickered. He shot me a glare. Derek was up to shoot first next and he picked a spot a few steps back from where I had been. He made it easily. The other two boys missed. As I lined up to take my shot, I was bumped into from behind causing me to fall onto the ground and let out a yell as my knee scraped onto the cement ripping my jeans and causing me to bleed.
"Conner!" Derek yelled angrily as I sat looking at my knee anger building up in my stomach. I could hear Conner laughing behind me and I stood angrily glaring at him.
"Aww is the wittle girl gonna cwy?" The boy taunted. I glared angrily at him and noticed Derek's eyes turn golden as he glared angrily at the boy. I quickly recognized the shift in color as the eyes of a werewolf. Derek began stalking towards the boy and I quickly intercepted him not wanting him to expose his secret to the other boy. I stepped in front of Conner and punched him in the eye.
Derek looked at me shocked and Conner started wailing.
"Why did you do that?" He questioned. I smiled.
"So, you wouldn't lose control and blow your secret, wolfy." I told him with a smile. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped as the teacher came over.
"What is going on over here?" She exclaimed seeing Conner wailing on the ground.
"She punched me in the face!" The boy wailed and I rolled my eyes. What a pansy.
Sitting next to Derek outside of the principal's office I nervously picked at the frayed edges of the hole in my jeans, the scrape now covered with the band aid.
"Are you okay?" Derek asked concerned from his spot next to me.
"Yeah, my mom's probably just going to be super mad at me." I mumbled turning to face him. I saw him watching the door intently for a few minutes. I quirked an eyebrow in curiosity when he looked back at me.
"Sounds like she's madder at Conner's mom." I smiled slightly.
"How cool is it to have super hearing?" I asked turning to face him fully. Derek's eyes lit up.
"It's the coolest. I'm just starting to get in touch with my wolf, and I have to try suuuuuper hard, but I can't wait 'til I'm an adult because it will be the coolest thing ever. I could be like, a superhero if I wanted." I smiled widely at him. "How do you know about werewolves?" He questioned curiously.
"Don't freak out okay?" he nodded. "My mom and my uncle are hunters. But they don't hunt werewolves. Just the other stuff like ghosts and vampires and stuff like that. My mom talked to your Alpha when she moved here to let her know that she had nothing to worry about from her. You're part of the Hale pack, right? I hear you guys have the best Alpha ever." I rushed out hoping that he wouldn't freak out at the mention of my family being hunters. Before he could respond the door to the office opened and my mom stormed towards me angrily.
"Cora Rose, you are in so much trouble. You promised me you wouldn't get into any fights!" She told me. I sighed and hung my head. I noticed a woman who looked much like Derek walking up behind my mother. Derek jumped from his seat and go to the woman's side.
"But mom he was being mean! He pushed me down. I wasn't going to hit him, but then I saw Derek get mad and I didn't want Conner to find out that he was a," I looked around nervously and whispered the next word, "werewolf." My mom gaped at me and I saw Derek's mother exchange a look with mine.
"Exactly how do you know that?" My mom asked. I kicked at the floor nervously.
"Uncle Bobby taught me some stuff." I mumbled. My mom groaned in annoyance.
"Jesus Christ." Derek's mother stepped forward. She smiled widely down at me.
"Well little one, it seems I owe you a thank you, for helping keep Derek under control." I smiled widely up at the beautiful woman before me.
"Thank you, ma'am,!"
"Cora this is Talia Hale." My mother introduces. My jaw dropped.
"Holy shit!" I breathed out.
"Cora Rose!" My mother scolded.
"I'm sorry mom, but she's like the most awesome Alpha ever! Uncle Bobby told me! You're one of the like super good ones that help people and keep others in line an-" Talia cut me off with a laugh and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"While I do appreciate your energy, I don't think this is the perfect place to get into this." I blushed in embarrassment. "Don't worry dear it's okay."
"I swear, I'm going to skin Dean Winchester alive the next time I see him for teaching you that language." I heard my mom grumble out.
"Mom?" Derek questioned. The alpha turned to her son.
"Yes dear?"
"Can Cora come over to play?" His mother looked at him astonished. I smiled widely.
"Please mom?" I asked excitedly. Our mother's exchanged looks.
"We have to go meet your father hun." My mom responded. My face fell. "But, perhaps this weekend if that's alright with Mrs. Hale?" Talia smiled at my mother.
"Call me Talia, and yes that's perfectly alright. Saturday around 1 o'clock?" Derek and I beamed at each other in excitement.
"Pretty sure Conner still hates me to this day for that." I told Derek with a laugh.
"No, now he hates you because you wouldn't go out with him in high school." I snorted.
"That's because he was still the same douche bag as he was in elementary school."
