I was walking through the woods on my way to the Hale house. When I arrived I knocked on the door but no one answered. I was about to turn around when the door opened. I saw little eight-year-old Cora standing on the other side.
"Y/N." Cora smiled with her front teeth missing, it was the cutest thing ever.
"Hey sweetie do you know-"
"Derek's in the basement. He's been down there for hours and he won't let me down there." she crossed her arms and stuck out her bottom lip.
"Well we'll see about that." I crouched down to her height level. "Do you think Derek will mind if I go down there?"
"Nope. He likes you. He talks about you all the time. It's so annoying." she said and I giggled.
"Okay Sweetie I'm going to talk to him." I stepped inside.
The Hale's and my family had been friends forever, Derek and I were meant to be best friends before we were even born, but our friendship had turned into something more. One thing led to another and now we've been dating for about seven months and he's perfect. Having a best friend for a boyfriend is something I am beyond grateful for. I trotted down the stairs towards the basement calling for Derek.
"Der? Babe? You down here?"
I walked over to the cellar and pulled at the door and inside I don't know what I saw. It looked like Derek but it was more monstrous, it had teeth sharp as shard of glass and claws like knives. It's eyes were a bright beautiful blue. It's ears were shaped like an elf's. My curiosity got the best of me and I stepped in the room.
"Der? Is that you?" I questioned. It's head shot up immediately.
"Y/N? No, you can't be here. Get. Out." he panted.
"Derek? What's wrong." I creeped closer.
"Stop! Go away!"
"Der I'm not leaving."
"I could hurt you." he growled.
"Derek you won't hurt me, I know that. Now breath and talk to me." I got close enough so I could reach out and touch him. I cupped his face and carefully looked him over.
"I don't want to hurt you." he whimpered.
"And you won't. I love you Derek and if this is who you are than I love you just the same."
"Really?"
"Really, now look at me and calm down." I rubbed his cheeks gently with my thumbs. He had slowly turned back to the face I had come to love.
"Thank you." he whispered.
"It's no problem, now do you want to tell me what I just walked in on?" he nodded.
"Not here though, my room?" he asked and I nodded holding out my hand. He looked down at it and back up at me, hesitant to take my hand so I grabbed his and interlocked our fingers.
"I'm not scared of you Derek."
"You should be."
"Well I'm not. Come on let's go talk with out."
I led us up to his room and I plopped down on his bed. He stood standing. So I grabbed his hand and pulled him down. He sat up against the wall so I sat in between his legs and wrapped my legs around his waist, facing him. His arms instinctively wrapped themselves around my waist.
"So Derek unless your an amazing actor or magician I would like for you to tell me what you are exactly."
"I'm a werewolf." he sighed. I motioned for him to go on, he looked surprised but continued anyways.
"When I turned 16 it released a part inside of me that's been dormant for most of my life. It's my werewolf side. I was a born werewolf so it runs in my genes. Every full moon I'll turn into a big hairy monster with a bloodlust to kill people."
"How do you control it?" I asked softly.
"Well you can find an anchor; something that makes you human, makes you want to stay human. I didn't know what mine was, that's why I've been having trouble shifting. But when you came in today you made me human Y/N, because I was just so scared of hurting you."
"So I'm your anchor?"
"I think so." he smiled and smiled down at him. I kissed him gently and passionately.
"Y/N, why aren't you scared of me? Why are you taking this so easily."
"I know you would never hurt me Der. I trust you. I'm just wondering why you didn't tell me sooner."
"I didn't want you to be afraid of me. I couldn't bare with the idea of losing you."
"So does being a werewolf only suck or are there some perks with it?"
"Well I have heightened hearing, sight, and smell. Plus I'm like really good at sports and stuff now."
"You were always good at those babe."
"I know but now I'm the best." he boasted and I rolled my eyes.
"You know I am so lucky to have a girl like you. I'm sure no one else would've stuck around. You're truly amazing. I love you so much Y/N."
"Derek there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. I love you too babe."
The rest of the night was full of questioning, talking, cuddling, and finally Derek and I fell asleep; extremely tired from the day's events.
