Chapter 8
Peter's POV
It's been a week since the Demon Pack took Stiles's father. And a week since I've been feeling extremely agitated. As I walk through the woods I smell an enticing sent. My eyes widening in realization I start to pick up speed. Before I knew it I was racing through the preserve.
Following the scent I was lead to a tree stump, taking out my claws I analyze my surroundings for any sort of trap. Once it was clear I retract my claws and walk towards the tree stump slowly. Hearing a small whimper I go to the other side, unprepared for what I saw.
Derek's POV
I can see the hope slowly vanish from Stiles's eyes. I desperately search for his father, I don't even remember the last time I had a decent nights sleep. Of course I don't tell Stiles this, he's already worried enough as it is. He doesn't need to worry about his father and I at the same time.
I walk out of my house to continue the search for Stiles's father, until I heard my uncle howl. My body went into autopilot as I sprint through the woods, following the sound of the howl. When I reach my uncle I stop dead in my tracks at the sight before me.
My uncle Peter was sitting on his knees, clutching Stiles's bloody and bruised body close to him. I walk to the two as I fall to my knees myself. "What happened to him?" Looking at Peter I see his eyes switching from glowing to normal. I place my hand on his shoulder, hoping that would calm him down. Instead it only made it worse. Peter growls at me as he brings the Sheriff's body closer to his own.
At that moment my eyes widen in realization. "Peter, is he…your mate?" My uncle only growls louder at me as I raise my hands slowly. "I'm going to get mom and dad ok." I get up and back away slowly before turning back to the house, with a million thoughts running through my head.
Stiles's POV
I groan as I wake up due to a lot of noise coming down stairs. I get out of bed, blushing the moment I realize that this is Derek's bed. I look around his room for a brief moment before walking out of the room. Going down stairs I hear Derek talking to his parents. I enter the kitchen where Derek was out of breath and leaning against to kitchen counter.
"Um…hey Derek, why are you so tired?" The three tense up and look at me. "…You found him didn't you?" Derek shakes his head slowly, "I didn't find him Stiles, my uncle found him." I smile with joy and relief.
"Then what are we waiting for?! We need to go!" I turn to run out but was pulled back by Derek. I turn to him questionably, "Stiles…we can't go to them right now. Remember what I told you about mates? Your dad is Peter's mate." I stand there for a moment before letting out a shaky sigh, running my hands through my hair.
"So you're telling me that Peter is with my dad, and that I can't see him?" The three nod sadly as tears well up in my eyes. I race back up the stairs, deliberately ignoring the twisting pain in my own heart and the call of Derek. Slamming the bedroom door I climb back on the bed and curl up, staring out the window with tears. I start to feel tired so I decide to just close my eyes.
When I open my eyes it's nighttime. Remembering my dad I shoot up and race down the stairs. Derek suddenly pops up and wraps his arms around me. I struggle against his hold for a moment before sagging. "Derek, please let me see him."
"You can't Stiles, if you go near him right now, Peter will kill you. It's his instinct to protect your dad right now. Don't worry though ok, he's fine." I look up at Derek and hold him tight, trembling slightly from the relief of having my dad back. Derek only holds me close, rocking me gently and tightening his hold.
"I promise Stiles, I will keep you safe, even if I have to die in the process." "No, you're going to keep me safe, and when this is over then we can be happy, right?" Derek melts at the desperate look I give him. Derek smiles and nods, "We'll be together forever, I'll never leave you…I love you Stiles."
I only smile back at him and grab his face gently with my hands. Taking a moment to stare into his eyes I crush our lips together. Derek and I tighten our hold on each other as the kiss starts to get intense. The only reason we break apart is to get air into our lungs. I let out a small chuckle as I gaze into Derek's green eyes.
"Derek, I love you…I love you so much. Promise me that you'll still be here when all of this is over." Derek response with a passionate kiss, "I promise, I'll be here with you forever, I love you too much to hurt you."
Well there's chapter 8! I actually love the moment between the two! So Kawaii! Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, see you all in chapter 9!
