Liana was standing near the bleachers with Derek's leather jacket on, watching lacrosse practice. Scott was up first against Jackson, who was on defense. Scott takes the ball and Jackson slap checks him into the ground. Liana winces at the contact. The coach says something to taunt Scott and Liana notices his eyes change to a golden yellow color. 

"Oh no." Liana mutters. 

"I see you have my jacket on." A voice behind Liana says. Liana looks back to see a smirking Derek.

"Yeah. I seem to remember leaving mine in your car, so now I'm wearing yours. You got a problem with that?"

"Nope. It looks good on you. And I certainly won't complain about you being surrounded by my scent." Derek says and Liana laughs and they look back to the field where Scott is getting up. "This is not a good idea." 

"He needs to learn to keep his anger in check." Liana says

"That's true but he's already shifted." 

"I know. I saw" Liana says.

"He's going to hurt somebody."

"McCall's gonna do it again! McCall's gonna do it again!" The coach cheered.

"This won't end well." Liana says

"Nope. He shouldn't be playing until he has control. Especially with the hunters in town." Derek says

Scott charges again and Jackson goes for the cross check, but Scott rams into Jackson hard, causing Jackson to fall on his shoulder. Scott then places his hands on his head before collapsing on his knees.

"Oh no." Liana says

"That was during practice. Imagine if this was a game. He could hurt someone worse than that or kill them." Derek says as Stiles goes over to Scott and drags him off.

"Now is not the time for a 'I told you so', Derek." Liana says as she starts to go after Stiles and Scott.

Derek grabs her hand stopping her. "Stop. Where are you going?"

"To make sure Scott doesn't kill one of the only family members I have left." Liana says before she tries to walk away again, but Derek stops her.

"I don't want you near, Scott. He can't control his shift right now and he already hurt you once." Derek says. 

"I'll be okay, babe. I'll use my magic to keep him down."

Derek sighed knowing Liana wouldn't relent. Sometimes she can be as stubborn as he is. "Be careful."

"Always. You better get out of here before someone thinks you're creeping around a high school." Liana leans up and kisses his cheek before rushing off. "Love you." She says, not thinking about it. 

Derek froze when he heard Liana say that, but she kept going after Scott and Stiles. I mean sure, he loves her. They're mates. He loves her more than anything, but they had only been dating for about a month, so they hadn't said that to each other yet. Derek shakes out of his shock and walks away with a smile.
