A/N: This chapter will have a brief Derek's POV
Skye's POV
My eyes opened to the sun shining through a window, I looked around and noticed I wasn't in the Animal Clinic, actually I didn't know where I was, I tried to get up but felt something in my midsection block my way, I looked down and was shocked at what I saw, I was pregnant
I started to freak, trying to get out of the bed wondering how in the hell I got so pregnant so fast and where the hell I was, I ran my fingers through my hair but felt something catch so I examined my hand and saw a diamond ring and a wedding band on my finger, so obviously I was married in whatever universe I was in and clearly heavily pregnant
I pushed myself off the bed and balanced myself as I stood because I was not used to carrying so much extra weight then slowly made my way towards the bedroom door and slowly opened it, I looked down the hall in each direction but didn't see a soul in sight so I stepped out of the bedroom and made my way down the hall, the stairs were on my left and I stopped at them, they looked all the way down to the front door and my mind suddenly flashed to the Hale house stairs, I was in the Hale house but how was that possible Kate burnt it down
I cautiously made my way down the steps and when I got closer to the bottom, I could smell breakfast cooking I took in a deep breath it smelt so good, I turned the corner making my to the kitchen, I saw the family room where I found Derek working out one of the first times I'd been to the house and noticed how it looked nice and new, not the charred out remains it once was
I found my way into the kitchen and couldn't believe my eyes, Derek Hale was cooking breakfast, he wore a grey T-shirt with flannel pyjama bottoms and had a dish towel over his shoulder, I never thought I would ever see Derek look so domestic
"Now you two know we have to be extra quiet so we don't wake up mommy" he said to unseen people "She needs all the rest she can get since she is having your little brother"
"Or little sister" a small girl's voice said, I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw a little boy and girl sitting at the breakfast table, the girl looked around seven and had long brown hair like mine and green eyes that matched Derek's but the boy looked like he was four and was the spitting image of Derek, he had jet black hair and green eyes, as well as Derek's nose, these were obviously mine and Derek's children but the boy was all Hale, seconds later those eyes locked with mine
"Mommy!" the boy cried and he quickly got up, as well as his sister and they ran over to me, hugging my legs and I couldn't help the smile that reached my lips as I brushed their hair down as they looked up at me
"Hey you two, be careful I told you can't rough house with your mother anymore" Derek forgot the breakfast he was cooking and walked over to me and kissed me on the lips before bending down to kiss my belly
"Derek, what is all this I left you at the loft with Cora….she was dying" I said
"What are you talking about?" Derek asked "We're here, where we're supposed to be" he paused "This is what Deaton was talking about, we've been destined to be together since you were born"
I heard myself gasp as I woke up and looked around, seeing I was back in the Animal Clinic, I slowly sat up and saw Lydia and Isaac sitting in the corner, looking at me
"Are you okay?" Lydia asked
"Yeah, I think so, what happened?" I asked holding my head
"When we put them under, you went into shock" I turned and saw Deaton had entered the room "I thought you had died on us but Lydia assured me she would have known if you were dead"
"I had this crazy dream…or vision I guess you could say, I saw myself…and Derek" I said and Isaac stiffened when he heard this "We were happy…and had kids!" I turned to Deaton "Is this what you meant, did Talia see something like this" Deaton closed his eyes and seemed to nod, when suddenly Stiles, Allison and Scott sat up in the ice tubs
"I saw it, I know where it is" Scott said, getting out of the tub shaking, they were all shaking
"We passed it" Stiles said, following his lead "There's…there's a stump, this huge tree well, it's not huge anymore it was cut down but it's still big, though, very big"
"It was the night we were looking for the body" Scott looked at me when he said this
"Yeah, the same night you were bit by Peter" Stiles added
"I was there too, in the car with my mother" Allison said "We almost hit someone"
"It was me, you almost hit me" Scott looked at Deaton and the others "We can find it" I smiled, looking at Deaton, Lydia and Isaac but they all didn't look to enthused
"What?" I asked
"You guys were out a long time" Isaac said, even looking at me
"How long is a long time?" Stiles asked
"Sixteen hours" Deaton replied and my eyes went wide, it felt like seconds
"We've been in the water for sixteen hours?" Scott asked
"And the full moon rises in less than four" I nodded then had a feeling bad feeling all of a sudden and I knew it had something to do with Derek, then I remembered his pain I felt before I passed out
"You guys save our parents, I have to go" I started for the door
"Where are you going" Scott asked
"Derek" I said and he nodded understanding as I ran out to the Camaro and sped almost the whole way there then ran as fast as I could into the building, I didn't know what I was going to find as I ran in, I threw the loft door open and noticed Derek sitting by the window and Cora holding a water bottle to his lips, I ran towards the two of them and kneeled next to Derek as she tipped water down his throat, he coughed and looked towards Cora
"You're okay" he said looking at Cora, she smiled
"I'm doing much better than you are right now, all because of you"
"Hopefully not all for nothing" Peter sighed looking out the window
"How long have you been here?" Derek asked me ignoring him, I looked at him with a look of shame
"Like a minute…I kind of passed out when the others went under the water" he looked at me concerned "I'm okay I promise and relieved you are too, I felt your pain and didn't know what happened" Cora and Peter shared a look and I knew they were thinking the same thing, that Derek and my bond is stronger than anything
"The moon is rising, Derek" Peter said "You drained your battery all the way to the red and there is a fully charged Alpha on her way to rip you limb from limb" I squeezed the back of Derek's neck and rolled my eyes at Peter's words
"I'll be find in a few hours" Derek told him
"I sincerely hope so, because a few hours is all that you have" Derek shook his head and moved to stand up
"Where are you going?" Cora asked him
"I need to pull myself together" Derek answered while I steadied him as he stood
"Come on lets get you cleaned up first" I nodded at Cora telling her I had him and lead him upstairs, we got into the bathroom and Derek sighed sitting on the edge of the bathtub I could tell the walk exhausted him "You should be resting" I said wetting a cloth and started wiping the sweat from his face "I know you needed to save Cora but don't ever do something like this to me again, I had no idea if you were okay and it scared the hell out of me"
"I can feel it you know" Derek sighed, I shot him a confused look before moving to take of his shirt
"Feel what?" I asked as I went over to the sink to wet the cloth again
"Your power" he replied standing behind me, I sighed and looked down
"It's the full moon Derek, I'm more powerful on the full moon"
"That's not what I'm talking about" his eyes turned into his bright blue beta eyes, I felt mine heat up and looked down sighing
"I don't know why I didn't change" I looked back up and his blue Beta eyes met my Alpha red ones in the mirror
"This is a good thing Skye, we still have an Alpha"
"It doesn't feel like a good thing" I didn't want to become and Alpha and only did it to be with him
"It'll get easier I promise" I turned around and looked at him
"It was easy for you because you knew that I could move up whenever I wanted to, you can't and I don't want…"
"Listen to me" Derek whispered wrapping his arms around me "You are an amazing Alpha Skye, you'll be fine"
"We were supposed to do this together"
"Skye, life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, we know that better than anyone"
"I know but for once I want it to work out for us" I hugged him and kissed his neck letting a few tears fall
"Eventually it will, come on we don't have long until we have company" I scoffed
"Yeah homicidal company" we jumped into the shower together and let's just say one thing lead to another, later on I stood beside Derek as Cora and Peter stood behind watching as Lydia and Ethan walked into the loft, I was confused as to why it was them who was here but waited for Ethan to talk
"We know about the lunar eclipse" Ethan started "So don't think Kali's waiting for it to level the playing field, she's coming, my brother's coming with her"
"Good enough for me, Derek?" Peter asked
"You want me to run?" Derek asked him
"No I want you to stay and get slaughtered by an Alpha with a psychotic foot fetish, of course I want you to run, sprint, gallop, leap your way the hell out of this town" Peter said and actually sounded worried for once in his life, he did have a heart it was just buried deep
"If you wanna fight and die for something, that's fine with me" Cora said "But do it for something meaningful"
"How do you know I'm gonna lose?" Derek asked
"We don't" Peter answered then looked at Lydia "But I'll be she has an idea" I met Lydia's eyes
"I don't know anything" Lydia said
"But you feel something, don't you?" I asked her
"What do you feel?" Derek asked her Lydia hesitated and looked back at me so, I walked over to her and nodded
"It's okay Lydia, just tell us" she grabbed my hands
"I feel like I'm standing in a graveyard" I nodded and fought the tears back now was not the time to cry, I rubbed Lydia's arms in an attempt to calm her a bit
"It's your call Skye" Derek said and I looked up confused
"Why is it her call?" Peter asked
"She's still our Alpha" Cora answered "Her decision's final" I felt Peter's anger rise and shot him a look before turning to Derek and shook my head
"I can't risk it" I looked at Cora then back at Derek "You two will get into your car and go as far as you can as fast as you can" I looked at Peter "It's up to you if you want to join them or not, I'm good with either"
"What about you Skye"
"I'm staying here, I have to save my mom and the others and I've brought Kali down once before, I know I can do it again"
"Skye…" Derek started but I shook my head stopping him
"I need you safe" I replied
"And I need you safe" he counter replied quickly
"Kali's ordered not to kill Skye" Ethan said "In Deucalion's words she's far too special to be killed" I didn't like the sound of that one but knew it had to do with him wanting Scott and I to join his pack
"How does that make sense to anyone?" I asked "If Derek dies so do I?" I asked turning to Ethan, he looked down
"He's been looking for ways to break your bond" he replied
"What?" I asked as Derek growled threatened by that
"And I think he found it, thanks to Morrell"
"I still want you guys to go" I said looking at Derek
"Skyler…" Derek started again
"No I need you out of here" I cut him off and Derek clenched his jaw but nodded and walked upstairs, I followed him and stood in the doorway as he packed a bag "Please don't be mad at me, I need to stay" I whispered "It's my mom Derek" Derek stopped folding and looked at me
"This is dangerous Skye, just come with us please"
"I can't" Derek shook his head and continued packing, I moved so I was standing in front of him and looked at him pleadingly "I can't have you mad at me Der-Bear" I said trying to lighten the mood, he sighed and tucked my hair behind one of my ears
"Promise me something"
"Anything" I promised, I could give him this since I might never see him again
"If you feel threatened or in danger, leave…run as fast as you can" I nodded
"Okay" he kissed my forehead as I wrapped my arms around him crushing myself to him "I love you Derek Hale and promise that no matter what you keep going and let me know where you end up" he nodded against my neck
"I love you so much Skye" he finished packing then we, Cora and Peter went downstairs they got into his car as Peter and I stood there
"Don't call until you're at least a hundred miles away" Peter said leaning against the door, Derek looked at me, then Cora then at Peter "GO!" Peter exclaimed
I watched Derek and Cora pull away and knew that I had to get back out there and help, Lydia and Ethan were going to hold off Kali and Aiden so I jumped into the Camaro and called Scott they were headed to Allison's apartment so I met them there just as they were getting into the elevator
"Stiles, I'm not smelling your dad's boxers, socks okay, I'll smell the socks" I couldn't help but laugh
"What about me?" Isaac asked, as Allison unlocked the door
"See what you can find in my dad's closet" she replied "Anything with the strongest scent" she opened her dad's office but stopped and stood shocked in place
"Quite an arsenal your father's got here, young lady" Scott and I tensed at the voice as we walked into the doorway and saw our father standing there "Scott, Skyler"
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"Following one of the only leads I have, now since I don't know where you've been, why don't you have a seat and we can talk?" our father paused "You too, Isaac" he called
"How do you know my name?" Isaac asked, coming into view
"Your name's one of the few things I know, to be honest the rest of what's going on around here has me stumbling in the dark, even over the smallest clue"
"If you're trying to tell us that you don't have a clue, we learned that a long time ago" Scott said walking in the room further
"I'm really hoping to avoid the embarrassment of dragging my own children into an interrogation room, really hoping" I sighed as Scott and I sat in the two chairs across from the desk, while Isaac and Allison stood "I'm not gonna lie, I'm more than a little disturbed, not only by the number of missing parents but the fact that it's Stiles' father, your father and your mother"
"Mine are both dead" Isaac said after putting up his hand
"Save the clichéd teenage empathy for your high school teachers, the four of you know more than you're saying and I'm fully willing to keep you here all night if I have to"
"You can't keep us here" I said
"Not without some kind of warrant" Allison added
"I've got a desk full of probable cause" Agent McCall said
"My father is a highly respected private security consultant and federally licensed firearms dealer, that means he has to own a few weapons" Allison said, going over to the desk "Like this 175-pound draw tactical crossbow or this carbon steel marine combat knife, Fifty AE desert eagle, hmm" she grabbed a grey canister off the desk "Smoke grenade with pull ring ignite" she pulled it and threw it at our dad and the four of us ran out of the room as our father yelled after us
We quickly made our way into the preserve, Scott on his motorcycle and Isaac, Allison and I in my car, we stopped where we had planned to meet Stiles
"Are you okay?" Allison asked us as she exited the car
"I didn't know what to say to him, I couldn't come up with anything but what you did, that was awesome" Scott said
"Totally" I agreed "I only wish I would have thought of it myself"
"I still haven't gotten anything from Stiles…you?" Isaac asked
"I don't get it" Scott said looking around
"All right well we can't wait for him, come on" we began the journey up the hill, we saw the whole town beneath us and a thunder storm in the distance
"They've got to be there" I said pointing
"Cutting it a little close, aren't we Scott?" we all turned, seeing Deucalion walk up behind us
"We got a little delayed" Scott informed him "Where are the others?"
"Occupying themselves with other pursuits" I snarled at him baring my fangs and let my eyes glow red as I knew what other pursuits he was talking about
"So it's just you and me against her?" Scott said stopping me from charging at him
"No, it's us against her" I cut in looking at Scott waiting for him to argue "I'm coming with you" I added looking at Deucalion seeing him smile but I wasn't going to be in his pack, I was going to save Scott from him, I knew that this is what Morrell had tried to warn him about, he was going to force Scott to kill Jennifer and I was going to stop it no matter what it took
"I think you'll be surprised what a good team we all make" I kept the snarl off my face and again waited for Scott to argue but he didn't instead nodded then turned to Allison and Isaac
"Okay, get Stiles and then get to the root cellar okay, we'll keep Jennifer away long enough for you to get them out of there"
"How are you gonna do that?" Isaac asked
"I have a plan" we walked away with Deucalion
We all walked up to the abandoned distillery I had met Derek at after Boyd died, I sighed and looked over at Scott as thunder and lightning continued around us
"You said you had a plan" Deucalion asked him
"On the first day of class Jennifer sent all of us a message, it was the last line from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, I got a message of my own to send her" Scott replied then walked over to the carved in spiral still on metal wall of the distillery and recorded a message while I stayed back "You see this symbol, it's a symbol of revenge, you talk about balance, about saving people, we know what you really want and now you know where to find us" he sent her the video
"Way to be dramatic Scott" I said leaning against the wall
"It'll get her attention" he replied shrugging
Scott and Deucalion stood staring out the door as I continued to lean on the wall off to the side, until I heard someone approaching so I pushed myself off the wall and stood next to Scott watching as a person walked towards us, then all of a sudden someone walked out behind and walked beside, I looked up knowing that shape anywhere as Scott looked at Deucalion but he wasn't surprised at all as Jennifer and Derek walked into the distillery, Derek looked at me in surprise and anger that I was here
"What are you doing" Scott asked him
"This might be hard to believe but actually trying to help you and Skye" Derek replied making me angry because I had told him to leave and yet here he was trusting Jennifer
"Ooh like brother against brother, or should I say brother-in-law" I growled at Deucalion's words "How very American this is" he looked at me and I knew he was asking me what side I was on "Are you ready Jennifer, did you gather your herbs" Deucalion added folding up his cane and taking off his jacket "Pray to your ancient gods and your oak trees, slit a baby's throat perhaps" I rolled my eyes "Should we show them why you need to sacrifice nine innocent people just to face me" Deucalion started turning into his werewolf shape and it was slighting terrifying "Or is it twelve now" he asked in a distorted voice that angered me knowing he was talking about our parents, he growled and went after her as Scott and I shared a scared look
Derek transformed too and went for Deucalion before he got to Jennifer but Deucalion grabbed both his arms stopping him and bent them down as Jennifer came up to him and tried pushing him back with some sort of power but it did nothing, then Deucalion grabbed their throats, I growled and shifted making Deucalion look over at me
"I wouldn't Skyler" he said as he lifted them off their feet and laughed before dropping them, Derek went to attack again once he was free but Deucalion tossed him aside like he weighed nothing and he landed on some old tires
"DEREK!" I screamed and went after him, kneeling beside him I grabbed his head as he coughed up blood
"Kill her" Deucalion said making me looked up when I sensed Scott's surprise and saw Deucalion had Jennifer kneeled at his feet "Do it" he ordered again, when Scott didn't move Deucalion let out a loud growl that sent Scott to the floor, I looked at Derek and noticed he flinched but wasn't swayed by his growl, Scott transformed against his will and looked at Deucalion "Now kill her, your parents are dying that storm you hear, she's burying them alive, it's her connection to the telluric currents, kill her and it ends" I stood up and let out a growl of my own, this time Derek reacted but I shot him a look to stay where he was
"Leave him alone!" I snarled
"I've been patient with you Skyler but now you're getting in the way"
"I don't care, I'm not going to sit here and watch you manipulate my brother into doing your dirty work" I turned to Scott "It won't end if you kill her Scott"
"She's right, he'll have you kill everyone you love, it's what he does" Jennifer added
"Their dying Scott, your mother and the parents of your best friends, kill her now and it's over, become the Alpha you're meant to be, become a killer" Scott looked up
"They're not dead yet"
"Who's going to save them, your friends" Scott stood up and allowed his eyes to glow gold
"My Pack" Scott answered, Deucalion let out a growl and ran over to Scott in unnatural speed and threw me back to the opposite side of the room, I landed against the metal wall "Maybe you just need a little guidance"
"I forgot to tell you something, something that Gerard told me, Deucalion isn't always blind" I knew what that meant and quickly shielded my eyes as Scott threw a flashbulb on the ground then opened my eyes and had transformed back into my human self
"The eclipse it's started" Deucalion stated as Derek helped me up
"Oh no" I heard Scott say and look towards the entrance to see the Darach coming towards us and ran into the distillery shoving Scott out of the way, I watched as my brother hit a pile of metal tubing then gasped as I felt something stab into my stomach, I looked down and watched as blood dripped from the wound around the knife Jennifer had just stabbed into me
"You were never going to walk out of here alive Skyler, you should have seen that coming" I fell to my knees as Jennifer went to Deucalion, then felt someone behind me and hold a piece of cloth to my stomach and gently lay me down against him
"Breathe, Skye" Derek whispered "The calmer you are the lower your heart rate is" I closed my eyes and tried to block out the sound of Jennifer cracking Deucalion's skull "Jennifer!" Derek called out making her stop "He doesn't know"
"Know what"
"What you really look like" I felt myself fading as Scott and Derek switched and could only watch as Derek walked over to the Darach "He knows the cost of bringing Kali into his pack but he's never seen the price you paid"
"No, no he hasn't" my head fell back on Scott's shoulder unable to keep it up anymore
"Derek" Scott whispered as Deucalion began screaming while Jennifer healed him
"Hold on baby" Derek whispered as he kneeled next to me, I moved my head so our foreheads were touching
"I…love…love you" I whispered feeling my strength leave me
"Don't talk like that"
"Say…say it…back" Derek kissed me gently
"I love you too, now hang on it's not going to be much longer" my head slumped forward onto Derek's shoulder as he looked as Jennifer stumbled to the floor
"What is this?" Jennifer asked, Derek looked at her
"Healing him made you weak, like healing Cora did to me you won't have your strength for at least a few minutes"
"Then you do it" she told him "Kill him" he scoffed and walked up to her
"No"
"What?"
"Like my mother used to say, I'm a predator but I don't have to be a killer" he strangled gripped her neck "Let them go" I gasped as the cloth was removed and a jacket replaced it
"More pressure" Deucalion told Scott as they tried to stop the bleeding
I watched as Jennifer shoved Derek against some creates and began struggling against Scott and Deucalion as Jennifer walked closer to my mate and felt myself growing weaker as I continued to struggle, I finally managed to throw myself forward only to find I unable to move and felt someone hold Deucalion's jacket to my stomach and press down I kept my eyes trained on Derek as Jennifer continued punching him
She stopped and looked at him as Derek kept his eyes locked onto mine the she followed his line of sight and stood up allowing him to do the same, he moved to attack her again but Jennifer was quick to pin him to a wall, Derek kept pushing back and she continued to shove him back harder against the wall as he kept his eyes trained on me
Derek's POV
I watched the tears roll down Skye's face as Jennifer kept throwing me back into the metal silo as memories started to flash through my mind, memories of me protecting her from Cora and Boyd, protecting her from Gerard and his band of hunters, protecting her from Matt and his obsession with her, protecting her from Kate by distracting the hunters after I tried to kill Jackson, protecting her from Peter in his Alpha form when she was unconscious in the gym and finally the night I first saw her, the night everything changed
The first time I looked into her eyes I knew my role had changed, I was no longer the loner orphaned Derek Hale who got his family killed and cared only about himself, I was now her protector, her guardian and would do anything to keep Skye safe even if that meant sacrificing myself in the process, she was everything to me, my Mate
Skye's POV
I shut my eyes and continued to cry then slowly felt myself healing and knew the eclipse was over, I felt Scott drop the jacket and a set of hands on my back and one on my arm then felt my pain lessen with each second and realized that Deucalion and Scott were taking my pain away allowing me to heal much faster, I let out a growl and both sets of hands let go of me and I ran at Jennifer yanking her away from my mate
"Your fifteen minutes are up" I growled before throwing her to the ground then turned around and wrapped my arms around Derek's neck, he picked me up with ease as his body began healing "Please don't ever do that again" I whispered when he set me down
"You and I both know I'll never promise that" Derek answered
"It was worth a shot" I turned around in Derek's arms watching Scott slide to a stop as the mountain ash around Jennifer settled
"Like I told you, Derek, either you or the parents" Jennifer stated
"Why him?" Scott asked
"Because of her" She pointed at me, Scott looked at me
"It's his role" Deucalion spoke up "She is a human mate, or was, it's his job to protect her at all costs"
"It doesn't matter anymore" Jennifer snapped "Because I guess I have to take the parents now, in a few minutes they'll be dead and I won't need a lunar eclipse even to kill a Demon Wolf" I watched as Scott lifted his hands and put towards the mountain ash barrier "You've tried this before Scott, I don't remember you having much success"
Scott pushed against the barrier, I smiled and watched as he made steady progress into the barrier and everyone's shocked expressions as a bright blue light seemed to surround him as he continued forcing his way into the barrier then as his eyes went red and took a step inside over the mountain ash then it broke with a streak of light and Jennifer fell back
"How did you do that?" Jennifer asked him
"I'm an Alpha now" Scott replied after a few seconds of silence "Whatever you're doing to cause the storm make it stop or I'll kill you myself, I don't care what it does to the colour of my eyes"
"Won't change the colour of mine so allow me" Deucalion said and came up behind Scott and slashed Jennifer's throat wide open, I turned my head into Derek's chest instinctively and felt one of his hands go into my hair keeping my head buried in his chest, I smiled up at Derek as he kissed my forehead
"You do that again I'm gonna murder you myself" I laughed as Derek scoffed and wrapped both his arms around me
"And we both know that's a complete lie"
"Yup"
"Stiles?" Scott asked making me turn to see him on the phone so I ran over to him and grabbed his hand to bring the phone closer to her
"Stiles, oh my god, are you okay, is everyone okay, did anyone die, oh my god did someone die?" Stiles and Scott both chuckled
"Everyone's fine Skye" Stiles answered I sighed in relief then let out a squeal as Derek picked me up and threw me over his shoulder "How about you guys?" I heard Stiles ask Scott as Derek sat down and set me in his lap, both of us laughing
"Sort of" Scott replied
"Well you think you can come get us?"
"Yeah of course" Scott agreed
"Great okay, um…bring a ladder" Stiles chuckled, I let out a snort as Derek and I stood up next to Scott and looked at Deucalion
"My mother told me you were a man of vision once" Derek started and crossed his arms and looked at me and Scott "Were letting you go because we hope you can be that man again"
"But if you're not then having your eyesight won't matter…" Scott started
"Because you'll never see us coming" I finished for him then we turned and left the distillery
We did it we beat the Alpha Pack and Ms Blake, the only thing I had to think about now was me and Derek, I walked up to the loft the next day and stood there taking everything in, Derek was at his desk packing a bag, I knew he was taking Cora out of Beacon Hills
"You cleared the place out pretty quick, going somewhere?" I said, Derek turned around from his bag and looked at me
"I told Cora we needed to get out of here"
"Without saying goodbye?" I started walking towards him, Derek sighed and sat down with me on the steps into the loft
"I was going to see you before I left because I want to ask you to come with us" I sighed and looked down
"You know I can't do that, I have too many people here who need me and I'm pretty sure my mother would kill me if I up and left school"
"Skye this town has done nothing but cause you grief and pain"
"I know but leaving isn't the answer, what Scott did to find our parents is going to draw other supernatural creatures here, Beacon Hills is a beacon again and I can't abandon it, Scott and I are the Alpha's of Beacon Hills so I need to stay" I finally looked up to see he had unshed tears in his eyes "It's not about not wanting to be with you Der, I love you and if I wanted to be selfish I'd be going with you but I can't" he nodded
"I understand Skye" I climbed onto his lap and kissed him "I still have to leave but I'll be back" I nodded knowing he had to do this, he had to make sure Cora was safe
"When Scott and the others went under, I kind of did to and I…I saw us we were married, we lived in your old house but it was new and you made breakfast and we had two kids and I was pregnant, you told me that's how we were supposed to be" Derek smiled and nodded
"When I was about thirteen, my parents told me that ever since I was born I was destined to find a powerful girl to be my mate, that she would come to me in the most unexpected of ways and that she would rise to power and have the power of emotion herself"
"So you knew about me all along?"
"Yes, at first I thought it was Paige but when the bite didn't take I kind of lost hope and then after Kate, I stopped looking all together and went off with Laura but when she came back to Beacon Hills, she told me she thought she felt a strange shift in power and emotion like there was another part of our pack around, then after she was killed I came back and I found you in the woods the night Scott was bit, I couldn't help but feel an attraction to you, not just physical but emotional too, I finally knew my parents had been right all along, that I had found you"
"And you still want to leave?" I asked him but was smiling as I climbed off his lap
"I have to do this, take some time for myself" I nodded sighing "Skye, I want what you saw, the marriage, the house…the kids, I've lost almost my entire family and I'd love to bring some of it back with you" Derek got up and kissed me on the top of my head
"How long will you be gone?" I asked
"I don't know" he replied, going over to his bag as I stood up
"Well, if you do come back…my bedroom window's always open for you Der-Bear"
"I thought you'd say that" he replied, I smiled at him and he smiled back me, before I turned around and left the loft
Ever since that night, things have been somewhat normal, Lydia and Aiden are always together now much to Stiles' dismay but they look so good together and then there is Danny and Ethan who I couldn't be happier for I see them in the hallway at school all the time now holding hands and smiling they're so good for each other, then there is Allison and Isaac which I have no clue what is going on there but I'm happy for them
Scott and Stiles say they can feel it the darkness Deaton described, the first time it happened to Scott he freaked out almost having a panic attack but I told him to think about all the crap we had gone through in the last few months and to think of where we were now, our mom was safe and we had each other, Scott always says if it wasn't for me he couldn't get through any of this but I think if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't get through any of this especially now Derek was gone
Our father is back in town and it looks like he's here to stay but that doesn't mean he's welcome
After our conversation, Derek said goodbye then he and Cora had left, I don't know if he's ever coming back but there's a part of me that wishes he would come back, because Derek is my heart, my soul, my love…and my mate, he'll always be the love of my life
A/N: That's it for Season 3a, I hope you all don't hate me for having Derek leave but I'm following the shows storyline
I can tell you not to worry about Skye's and Derek's relationship it's not ending here
