DEREKS POV:

Once stiles falls asleep. I sneak out of bed. I go downstairs and mom looks at me. "So he is your mate."

"Please don't traumatize him. He doesn't deserve it."

"I'm not going to." She says mockingly hurt.

"I shouldn't have left mom."

"Why's that."

"Because his depression and trust was already bad before I left. I came back to see what I've done to him. I could have prevented it if I was here."

Stiles is on the steps watching and listening but I don't know that.

"I feel so guilty mom."

"You didn't know this would happen."

"But I should have been able to predict this outcome. It was obvious and I left and I fucked up ok that was on me."

"Do you think he would want you to beat yourself up over this?"

"Doesn't matter what he thinks when I deserve it."

She sighs "you were always stubborn."

"You were always such you. Hard headed, wrong, lying... I found out the truth about you mom."

"What are you talking about."

"Before the fire... you and dad were still together you had an affair with deaton."

"He told you...."

"You better believe it because let me just tell you mom I won't let my siblings turn out like you."

"What does that make you."

"It's already too late for me... at least I don't cheat on the one I love because of stupid fights." I mutter

"But you admit to cheating on him without fights?"

"I would never cheat on him not even if his own life depended it on it. Because I would find another way to save him. I don't cheat on my mate. We overcome obstacles together." I growl

She looks down and I glare at her. "He is lucky to have you then."

"He isn't lucky." I whisper
"I'm a curse and it's your fault for my luck."

I walk out of the kitchen huffing and walk directly into stiles. I catch him having knocked him over. "Hey baby what are you doing out of bed?"

"I was following you."

I chuckle "uh ok why?"

"I just got you back. I thought you were leaving again."

"I'm not leaving you again and if I ever have to I'm saying good bye properly."

He wraps his arms around my neck and I pick him up letting him wrap his legs around my waist. I nuzzle his neck with my face "why did you come down here der bear?"

"I wanted water but then mom started so it's fine."

"I didn't like what she said to you."

"It's fine let's go up to bed." I whisper and he can tell I'm upset he cups my face.

"Personally Derek I don't think she has any right to talk to that way. She has no idea what she is talking about because your not even close to how bad she is."

I smile slightly and kiss his forehead "thanks babe... come on up to bed." I say tossing him over my shoulder and he laughs quietly. We hit it off using a shot this time. I wake up at 5 am to the bed empty and panic sets in. I quickly get up and dressed grabbing my phone calling him. He answers and I hear he is driving.

"Where the hell did you go?"

"Work?" He chuckles. I sigh in relief flopping onto the bed which makes him laugh more. "was my big bad wolf scared?"

"Mmm not scared more like worried... thought I would have to rip off Theo's limbs."

"Maybe a different time." He jokes and sighs "you miss me already?"

"If I didn't would I still be on the phone with you?" I smirk

"Derek hale your such smooth talker."

I chuckle gently at that "when do you go on break?"

"Depends if I get one. If I'm not out in the field today."

I groan "come on baby don't say that."

"Sorry handsome that is how it works."

I sigh "what time are you getting home."

"Your being a child."

"Yeah well I want my stiles. When are you getting home."

"At six baby. I'm getting home at six."

"In a hour?!"

"No idiot. Six pm."

"Wait your working 13 hour shifts... stiles that's not ok."

"Yeah well it's good bank, not to mention I get the weekends off."

"Can you do 10 or 11 hours? why are you doing 13?"

"Derek I'm fine really."

"Well I'm not. I want more time with my boyfriend."

"I'll see I gotta go into work I'll be home later ok?" I whine "None of that sourwolf."

"Your 20 and working 13 hour shifts I think I'm allowed to whine."

"Good bye Derek I love you."

"I love you too baby good bye." With that he hangs up and I groan. I work out and make breakfast, shower. The usual stuff. It's 11 am and I'm on the couch reading when my phone rings it's Erica. I answer it.

"What's wrong."

"Dad it's Boyd." She cries and I quickly stand up everyone that's hear looks at me.

"What happened."

"He is dying!" She screams crying and without a second thought I run out of the loft.

"Where are you."

"We were going for a walk on the preserve... t-there are hunters dad." I hang up and I start running.

I get there and carefully looking around the hunters must have left. They knew she would call for her pack. This is a warning death and I walk over to Erica who is holding Boyd that is dying in her arms.

I bend down tears in my eyes as I see the arrows in his chest. Especially the one close to his heart. I can smell the wolfsbane off them and I would go and pull it out but it will only kill him quicker.

"Hey I'm here."

"I'm scared dad." That breaks me as Erica hands me him crying

"I know.... I know..." I look all over his body in a panic

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok." He says in pain

I grip his hand groaning in pain as I take it from him.

"I forgive you dad.... It was worth it."

"No don't you dare you can't." I say my jaw shaking slightly now because my nerves all over the place.

"It's ok. It's ok... things are gonna be ok right?"

I nod crying taking the arrow out by his heart making him die ending his suffering.
