Rencontre d'une nuit

Chapitre 21

The next day, despite the previous day's call from his father, Stiles left to check on himself that everyone was okay, at least the ones he liked.

¤¤¤

The following Tuesday, as he was leaving school, he was surprised to see Derek leaning against his jeep. He stopped before going down the stairs. He noticed that Isaac and Scott had their heads down.

- What did you do ? he asked
- Nothing. They answered at the same time.

He sighed.

- I don't have your super hearing, but I know you're lying.
- Let's say the fact that it was you who helped us with the basilisk was mentioned in a conversation. Isaac said cautiously.
- I see.

He walked with his head held high to his car. Before he could say anything the alpha spoke up.

- Out of the question that you get drained of your blood.

He looked at his two friends.

- Was that also mentioned in the conversation?

He had to tell them at all when Isaac had overheard a conversation between Damon and him. His wolf cub had told Scott about it, so he had told them everything.

The two wolves did not answer him. He looked back at the alpha.

- Look Derek, I do what I want. I want to be able to live with my boyfriend, so nothing will stop me from doing this ceremony.
- You can die.
- What can it do to you? I am nothing to you.
- You're part of my pack.
- Very funny.
- Stiles. growled the alpha.
- What ? You clearly told me that I was not part of it when I came to see you after your weekend without me. So don't tell me now that I'm part of your pack.
- I made a mistake. I understood it when you helped us with the animals.
- So I'm only good at research, so you have no consideration for me? No, no need to answer. I love Damon. I want to live, grow old and die by his side. The only way I can do that is for him to drink my blood. We're going to do the ceremony, no matter what you think.

Derek angrily drove off to his car followed by Isaac and the rest of the pack who had assembled upon hearing their alpha's low growl.

- Luckily I'm going to work at Deaton, I don't want to suffer Derek's wrath. Scott told him. See you tomorrow.
- Yes See you tomorrow.

A week had passed. Bonnie Caroline and Stefan had just arrived in Beacon Hill.

He had been surprised to see the witch, but Caroline had explained to him that she had argued with Elena, so they had brought him in for a change of scenery.

He hadn't seen her for long, and besides the fact that she was the cause of contention between his man and his brother, he didn't like this girl.

He hugged Bonnie and welcomed her to his town, which made everyone laugh.

The pretty Métis had thanked him before telling him that she wanted to help with the ceremony.

They were in Deaton's veterinary clinic. Isaac, Scott, Melissa the mother of the latter and Chris had demanded to be present. They had accepted.

Damon was stroking Stiles' face.

- Why are you sulking my little cat?
- Everyone sees you shirtless.

He smiled at his boyfriend's pout. He took her face in his hands and then kissed her tenderly.

- I can tell you the same thing.
- But you are sexy.
- Kitty, you're so sexy Do you think I'm dating ugly?
- Seen what Elena looks like.

He burst out laughing.

- I love you Stiles.
- I love you too.

His soul mate was truly exceptional. They were alike in a way with their outspokenness. He didn't know what he would do if he lost it.

- You're ready ? he asked her.
- Yes.
- On ?
- And certain. I know all the risks and I am ready to take them. But you, are you ready to become human again?
- Yes.
- And U.S. too. Said Caroline.

He smiles at her.

- So let's go.
- I haven't drunk human blood since we met. I don't know if I'll be able to drink your blood. He said to him.
- You will have to. Bonnie replied as she finished placing sacred stones around the tub Deaton had prepared. Stiles, do you want to see the spell again?
- Yes please.

While his boyfriend and Bon-bon were talking, he went to see Noah, Stiles' dad.

- I would like to ask you something.
- I'm listening to you.
- If I lose control, kill me.
- Damon.
- I don't want to hurt Stiles, I love him. So please, if Scott or Isaac tells you that Stiles' heart is too slow, kill me.
- All right.
- THANKS.

He went back to the bathtub, his soul mate joined him.

- Let's go.
- Yes.

They kissed each other tenderly then they entered the water. The ceremony was about to begin.
