Derek's POV

I watched as Laura and Cora ran around the playground sitting next to my mom. I saw a kid about Cora's age crying. I sat next to him. "Are you okay?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked him, he shrugged. "Do you want me to go?" "NO!" he yelled grabbing my arm making it tingle. I tilted my head as my wolf hummed mate. I froze looking at him. "My mom she's really sick." he told me I held him in my arms. "I'm sorry." I told him.

My mom and his found us stiles had fallen asleep on my chest. "Why'd you stay with him?" mom asked me as Stiles asked his mom if he could hang out with me again. His mom waited to talk to mine. "He's my mate." I smiled at her she smirked. "You're sure?" she asked. I nodded, "My wolf told me." her smile brightened. "Excuse me." mom lightly grabbed Stiles mom's shoulder. "Mrs. Stilinski, but call me Claudia." she smiled. "I'm Talia Hale and this is Derek my son. He wants to know if he and Stiles can play together again. I know he's older but he has a little sister the same age and he really enjoyed your sons company." my mom smiled brightly at Claudia. "I can drop him off here when I have my appointments." Claudia stated. "Here's my phone number and address. We can talk more later. I have to go my husband will be off of his shift soon and I want to make stiles favorite." "Of Course I'll call tomorrow morning about eleven." mom told her waving good bye to Stiles who then attempted to tackle hug me.

I sat across from Stiles at his mom's funeral. "Scott's going to be late. His mom has a late shift today." my boyfriend told me. The only people who knew we were dating were the two of us and my two sisters. I held him in my arms. "It's going to be okay some day. You'll always have her in here." I tapped his heart. he smiled and I kissed his forehead. His dad found me holding him as more guests arrived. "Do you want to go Stiles? Derek your mom is ready to go if you are and stiles can go if he wants to." John told us. stiles held me tighter. I told John to give us a second. "Hey stay with your dad. He needs you." I told Stiles a tear escaped and I wiped it away. "He lost his best friend. How would you feel if you lost me forever?" I asked him. He looked up at me horrified. "Exactly this is how your dad feels." he took off for his dad froze at the door spun around ran back to me and kissed me surprising us both. I smiled and kissed him on the forehead. "Go." he did and I found my mom and waved goodbye to Stiles who was now attached to his father's hip.

I was anxious to go back to the house where stiles was waiting he was sick and his dad had a shift today so my mom was watching him. Stiles had found out everything about me a year ago today on our anniversary. A month after I told him about me he asked me to mark him. I bit right above his hip it healed over instantly leaving a small scar in the shape of a triskelion. Other wolves would be able to sense he was mine, but the mating was all we had left. I was sitting with Kate Argent my tutor for chem. We had a few classes together. I could smell that she wanted me but I only wanted Stiles. Plus her entire family was made of hunters. We had five minutes left of our day I watched the clock as Kate tried to get my attention. "Derek." I spun around to face Stiles dad he looked devastated. I ran over to him and I saw Laura standing on the other side of the doors. "What's wrong is it stiles?" I asked worried. "No he's fine I got off early and took him home. But I was called back Mrs. McCall is watching him. Derek, Laura. Your family's house caught fire today. Your Uncle Peter was the only one to survive. He's comatose the doctors don't know if he'll ever heal." I ran. I ran all the way home. I saw firefighters and state cops were there the house only the front remained and a few rooms. I fell to my knees and Laura fell next to me and we cried. "It had to of been hunters." she told me. "Or they would have been able to get out. this was murder." "But there were humans in there! Babies I thought they were supposed to have a code!" I yelled. "Not Gerard Argent. He doesn't follow it." Laura flashed me her eyes. "They're red." I told her. "They're all gone. Stiles Could have died." I looked up at her. "My mate could have died today." Laura dragged me away, deeper into the woods. "Calm down John said he was fine. At his friends mom's house." I closed my eyes and thought about stiles my anchor. "I'm fine." I told her collapsing on the ground. "Mr. Stilinski offered to watch us until my birthday next week. After that we need to leave for a while. Until we know the hunters are out of the area. they wouldn't dare come after someone under the safety of a deputy in the Sherriff's department." Laura told me.

I walked up to stiles and he hugged me. "Dad said you can stay in m room. Laura is going to stay in the guest room. Are you really leaving?" he asked. I nodded. "Laura is alpha now. I can't stay here without her. I would take you with us but I can't. you need to stay here with your dad. Your all he has left and all I have left. You and Laura are the last of my pack." I told him. he hugged me crying. "Can I come visit? will you write, call, e-mail?" he asked I smiled. "All the time." I promised. "And when ever your dad lets you visit you can, after all you are pack." Laura said from the door way.
