"Are you sure your okay with me going back to work? They'll understand if you want me to take the rest of the day off." Dad asked.
"Dad I'm fine. Jackson and I are going to go back to the house. The others are probably going to show up at some point. We'll be fine." I reply.
Dad sighs then nods. "Okay. I'll see you tonight." He gives me a hug then takes off.
"Alright Jackson, let's go. I hope you're driving cause I really don't want to." I say as I turn to him.
"Yea. Sure. Give me the keys." I toss them to him and got in the passenger side of my jeep.
I open the front door to find the pack in my living room. "How did you guys even get in?" I ask knowing good and well what the answer was.
"Your window, duh." Erica answered.
"And then I had her open the front door so I could walk in. I'm not going to scale a wall, even for you Stiles." Answers Lydia.
I laugh and settle on the couch. Then Derek settles next to me. Isaac gets on my other side. Boyd is next to him with Erica on the floor between his legs. Lydia sit on the floor between my legs. Danny is next to her and their respective twin on their side.
We settle nicely and I turn on the TV. We sit there for hours watching TV until we fall asleep on by one.
Later I wake up to Dad putting blankets on us and turning off the TV. I nod at him and snuggle further into Derek and go back to sleep.
I wake by myself on the couch. I look around and see the TV is on. I thought Dad turned it off. I take the remote off the coffee table and turn it off. "Hey! I was watching that!" I turn around and find Isaac in the kitchen door way.
Now that my senses have woken up I hear voices coming from the kitchen. When I turn to look I realized that the pack and my father were having breakfast. I walk up to the kitchen table to join them.
Derek sets a plate in front of me then turns back to the stove to turn it off. He put the pan in the sink and joined us at the table. "How'd you sleep?" Dad asked.
"Better than I have in a while actually." I said digging into my plate. "Oh my god! Did you make this Derek?"
He nods at me keeping his eyes on his own plate.
"This is the best thing I've ever tasted! It's like heaven in my mouth! Can you always cook for me?" I exclaim.
Derek's cheeks darken as he looks anywhere else but me. I'm about to say something when Dad speaks up."Well as much as I would like to stay and chat, I have to go back to work and the rest of you to school. So thank you for the delicious meal Derek."
"No problem. I love cooking use to do it for my sisters all the time" Derek replies. Dad get's up and put's his plate in the sink and leave the room. He comes back a few minutes later in his uniform to grab his keys.
"Well I'm on my way. You guys should leave soon too or you're going to be late." With a wave he's out the door.
After a moment I finish my food. "Well Derek and I will clean up. You guys run to your house and get dressed. We'll meet in front of the school in twenty minutes." With that everyone disperses.
School goes fine especially since it was a Friday. We manage to avoid Scott and Allison the entire day, except lacrosse practice. But Derek and the girls showed up for that.
After practice we all go back to my house for the weekend. We immediately start training. The wolves go through fight techniques with Ethan, Aiden, and Derek. Meanwhile I teach Lydia how to use guns and bow and arrows.
We train for hours on end before we call a quits. Then we head back to my house. Derek and I cook while the pups clean up. After dinner we settle back on the couch and bond some more before going up to my room and puppy piling on my bed.
"Derek," I say when it's only the two of us still awake.
"Huh" Derek asks.
"I wanna tell my Dad. Everything." I say.
"Okay. " He replies.
"Okay." I say before falling asleep.
"Dad. We need to talk." I tell him the next morning after breakfast.
"I know." He replies.
"I'm in a pack of werewolves." I blurt out.
"What happened to easing him into it Stiles!" Derek says.
"I know."Dad says.
"Sorry. It just came ou- Wait what? How do you already know?"
"Your mother was born human into a pack of werewolves. Of course I know!" Dad replies.
"Oh." The whole pack was stunned.
"Well that explains a lot." I say. "Glad we got that over with."
I turn to the pups. "Why don't you guys go play outside with Dad, while Derek and I go grocery shopping." They all run out of the house and into the woods. Dad follows slowly.
"What if I wanted to play too?"Derek asks as I lead him out of the house and to my car.
"You can play later. BTW I knew you were a pup on the inside. You always manage to turn training into games and puppy piles. Anyways we need to have that talk I told you about." Derek starts to make a whining sound (and he wonders why I call him a dog) "Don't whine it needs to happen."
He sighs and gets in the car.
"The store is that way." Derek points out.
"I know. We'll go later." I respond. We drive in silence for a little longer before I park near the edge of the woods. We hike for a few minutes until we reach a clearing. "I brought you here so we could talk in private and so that you couldn't run away."
Derek nods and sits against a tree. "Okay. So talk."
"You said you cared. Why? Is it just because I'm pack or do you genially care?"
"I care, isn't that enough?" Derek replies.
"Uuuugggghhhhhh! Why do you have to be so difficult?" I turn around and run my hand through my hair. "I just want to talk, about our feelings. Like how I've had a crush on you since you saved me from Peter in the hospital. And how I love when you save me. And how I think you like me too but I can't be sure because you throw me into walls and threaten to rip my throat out." I mutter to myself until Derek speaks.
"I'm not trying to be." Derek says.
Derek's eyes are open as wide as saucers. "This just got awkward. Let's pretend I didn't say anything and this talk never happened. Okay. Yea. Let's do that." I start to walk out of the clearing when Derek grabs my arm.
I freeze but don't look at him. "Stiles, look at me." Derek commands. I turn to face him but don't look him in the eye. Derek grabs my chin and I prepare myself to be mauled. Instead something is pressed to my lips, and when I realize that they're Derek's lips my eyes open wide before I close them and kiss him back.
When we separate we're both breathless. Derek head is resting in between my neck and shoulders. His nose twitches every few seconds. "Are you scenting me?" I ask and Derek freezes.
Instead of answering he pulls away to look me in the eyes. "Stiles, you're my mate." There's a tense silence, but before either of us can say anything my phone starts ringing. I pull it out and see its Jackson.
"Jackson, what's up?"
"Kali and Enis just took Erica and Boyd."He replies.
"Wait what?" Derek say's as he take the phone from me.
"We were playing and they showed up. We tried to fight them but they were too strong. And now Erica and Boyd are gone and Isaac is bleeding out unconscious on the couch. What are we going to do?" Jackson explains.
I take my phone back from Derek. "Jackson where's Lydia?"
"Right here let me put you on speaker." He responds.
"Okay. Lydia I'm going to need you to stop his bleeding, okay. These wounds are from an alpha so it'll take longer to heal, but we can't have him bleed out before they do." I order.
"Okay. Sheriff, where's your first aid kit?" Lydia asks.
"Jackson, Where are Ethan and Aiden?" I ask as Derek and I head back to my jeep.
"They took most of the beating, they said to call you before the passed out. They're healing though." Jackson responds.
"Okay stay inside the house Derek and I our on our way." I say, and then I hang up. I put my jeep in motion and speed off towards my house.
