Can Derek Hale Be Happy Again?

Chapter Ten

DEREK'S POV

"Promise?" I gazed into her eyes, the way she loked at me, the way she sounded. So - shy, young, nervous. I couldn't help but be taken in by everythingabout her. "I promise". I let her go and took a tep forward. I stpped noticing Eleyna hadn't moved. I looked back smiling. I could feel her anxiety mixed with excitement. I moved my arm towards her holding out my hand. She stepped forward taking it and we walked. Her touch made me feel something I hadn't felt before.

A very short while later we arrived. "This way". I turned to look at Eleyna feeling her tense. I stepped closer to her. "I promise, your safe". She managed a half smile, I'll settle for that for now. I lead her into the caves, deeper and deeper. "Watch your step" I turned and helped her down the rocks. "What's that noise?" As I took my hand away I walked round so she was in front of me. "Do you trust me?" I whispered in her ear. Her nerves were so loud. "Yes" I put one hand over her eyes and the other on her waist and motioned her to walk forward....

"Okay and stop". I stepped away and to the side as she opened her eyes. It took her a moment to adjust to the light. "Oh my, it's. It's so beautiful" I couldn't help but smile at her smile as she took in every detail. "I found this place a while ago. I thought you'd like it. You could draw it or something?" She wandered over to the edge of the pool and looked up. The magnificent waterfall rushing down. I sat on a rock and Eleyna came over sitting beside me. "I was born a warewolf. Most of my family were, not all of them though". It hit me, I hadn't spoke about my family like this to anyone. I snapped out of my thoughts feeling a spark on my hand, I looked down seeing Eleyna's on top of mine. "You don't need to talk it if it's too painful". I frowned looking at her. "If Scott or Stiles-" "No. No they didn't tell me. I.. I googled your name with Beacon Hill's fire. I'm sorry". I felt my anger leave me as quickly as it arrived. "What else do you want to know?" "At the store,  the, you know. Is that what you look like?" her voice so gentle. I shook my head, "No, that was an Alpha. The leader". "So what do you look like?". Sighing, I stood up walking away putting my back to her. "Please Derek". I lifted my head and listened. Turning. I smiled. "What?" "I can hear everything, sense everything. And right now, is the first time you haven't felt nervous around me". She looked away for a moment before meeting my eyes again. "I trust you". She walked towards me. "Please" I couldn't say no to her. I transformed but kept my eyes closed. I felt her warm hand on the side of my face. "Less hairer than I was expecting" I chuckled opening my eyes. "Your eyes are beautiful" and with her fingers stroking my face I changed back. "So, still not scared. Alone in a cave, with a slightly less hairy werewolf?" I laughed and she shook her head. "Derek". I lifted her head so I could see her face as she tried to hide it. "If I ask something-" "What do you want?" "Hold me" I smiled and pulled her in for a hug feeling her relax into me. I squeezed her a little more. "You never need to ask that. I'm always gonna be here for you. If..if that's what you want?" She pulled her head back and smiled. "Kiss me... and that isn't me asking"....
