Life Forces Us

Life Forces Us: Chapter #6

Stiles is the first of the two mates to wake, and he slowly climbs out of bed, slipping from the wolf's grasp. He allows his eyes to roam over the alpha but then quickly heads into the bathroom for a hot shower. As he stands under the spray, he closes his eyes trying to figure out what just happened. It's shocking to him when he feels arms slip around his waist that pull his back to his lover's chest feeling a nuzzle and nip against his neck. He willingly tilts his head offering up more of his neck to the wolf.

"I do hope you weren't planning to disappear," Derek says as he continues nipping the incubus's neck.

Stiles moans softly, his hips rocking back. "No. Yes. Maybe. I don't know. Going to try to tell me you actually want me here?" he asks, attempting to seem harsh but falls short with a moan.

Derek grabs Stiles's jaw and tilts his head back to capture his lips in a bruising kiss. He bites Stiles's lip and sucks on Stiles's tongue before pulling away and nuzzling Stiles's cheek. "Stay," he pleads in a whisper.

Stiles bites his lip to keep from letting his hope show on his face and simply nods. "Okay. I'll stay."

After their joint shower the mates get dressed and head downstairs Stiles's mating bite clearly on display. Talia is waiting downstairs for Derek and Stiles to come down.

"Misch?" she says quietly.

Stiles looks over and gives her a sheepish smile. "I'm sorry. I just—We just—" he gestures to the mating bite and Talia beams before nodding.

"There's someone here to see you," she says in a more serious tone though she's still grinning at the bite.

Stiles frowns and starts hissing when he sees a figure in the living room. He gets in front of Derek protectively. He is poised for a fight until the voice speaks. "Mischief?"

His eyes widen as he immediately lets the tension bleed out of him. "Matka? (Mother)"

Claudia nods and Stiles runs over to her, throwing his arms around her. She cups the back of his head with one hand while the other wraps around him. "Moja mała psoteczka. (My Little Mischief.)"

Stiles pulls back but doesn't let go as the two of them begin to converse in Polish speaking fast and animatedly.

Derek moves to stand next to his mother, confusion evident on his face. Talia places a hand on his shoulder and nods. "His mother," she whispers.

Derek's eyes widen. "But he talked about her as though she—" he cuts himself off and watches his mate.

Past

When Claudia is released on earth, for her first task, she is prepared to do what she has been ordered to do. There is a small group of werewolves who make it their mission to destroy her kind or, so she was told. She has been ordered to seduce the alpha and kill the pack, but when the time comes, she finds she can't do it. She tells the alpha and waits for him to end her life, but he merely cups her cheek and tells her he knows. When she asks why he didn't kill her as soon as he knew he says it is because she is not like her kind.

They fall in love, and she bears him a son. She is so swept up in love and the child she would soon have that she misses the signs of her kind until she awakens to the smell of smoke. She watches in horror as the wolves including her mate are burned alive. She lets out a piercing shriek and howl of soul shattering pain in the wake of the death of her mate.
