Love & War (sterek)

Chapter 3

     I woke up to a annoying buzzing sound. When I pressed snooze on my alarm I realised it was Monday which meant school. I got up and stretched. As I walked into the bathroom to turn the shower on I saw myself in the mirror. My neck. Omg. I thought to myself as I pulled my face closer to the mirror to get a better look.

     The bite/bruise was still there and looked huge and bad. How was I going to cover this up. I banged my head on the mirror in frustration.

     After I got out of the shower and got dressed I looked around the house for something so I could cover it up. We had no make up sense it was just me and my dad. No girls living here. I tried a scarf but that just looked retarted. I pulled the colour of my shirt up but hat just looked ridiculous. After awhile I just thought maybe if I don't draw attention to it then no one while notice.

     I pulled into my usual parking spot and walked into school. I headed to my locker to get my textbook for history. As I pulled the book out my locker door lamed shut. It was so loud my ears were ringing. I was surprised the door didn't fall off. I turned around to see Scott giving me a harsh look.

     "What did I do know?" I asked Scott sense he still was just staring at me. He grabbed my face and pulled my face so I was looking to the side. "More like WHO did this." He said as he touched the bruise/bite on my neck. Damit so much for not drawing attention to it. "It's just a bruise. Must of happened when Boyd hit my with his net at lacrosse practice." I said trying to keep my heart calm so he wouldn't know I was lieing. "Noo. It's not from practice, its from someone's mouth." "Ok fine I meet this girl at a diner and she got really friendly." Another lie slipped out.

     As I finished talking the Bell rang for class to start. I tried to get out of his grip so I could go to class and avoid any other questions, but with his strength it didn't work. "No another lie just tell me the truth. I know its from a werewolf.... Wait. Was i t from Derek?" He asked a little worried with the last part. I gave up and nodded a yes. He just stared at me. "Yes it was why?" I asked because he still had a blank expression on his face. A moment later he let me go and went to class.

     The rest of the day went by fast with Scott avoiding me. I started to get scared. Did Scott not want to be friends anymore know that I liked Derek and he liked me.

     After school I went home and dropped my bag on my bed and went straight to my computer to do some research and find out what this all ment. Many different things came up but the one that came up the most was something about a mate, but when I looked mate up nothing absolutely nothing came up. I dicided to go to the Deaton store and ask him.

    "Yes I know what a mate is. Why do you ask?" Deaton said with his usual smile. "Becasue of this. No one will tell me what it means and now Scott is avoiding me. Can you just explain it to me." I said with my  shirt pulled off so he could see my neck. "Ok so mate is another meaning for 'the one' or 'true love' for a wolf. When a werewolf meets the mate they have this unbaredable attraction to the person. When a werewolf meets his/her mate they have to mark them so they don't loose their mate or don't get sick. So that thing on your neck is not just some hikie, its a mark. Who ever gave you that is your mate. It's very rare for a werewolf to have a human as a mate but it is possible. And Scott is avoiding you because if the werewolf that marked you smells another werewolf or someone else's sent on you they will go out of control and kill who ever sent was on you. But its not like that forever. It's just like that when the mating process isn't finished." He said all of it so fast. I felt my jaw that was now on the floor. I'm Dereks mate. It all shocked me. "What are the steps to finish the mating process?" I asked. "I feel uncomfortable telling you so I would ask your mate that question." He said and then asked me to leave sense he still had a patient to tend to.

     I sat in my jeep outside of Dereks loft for awhile still processing everything I was told. I still don't know how I'm going to bring this up to Derek. I finally got out of the jeep and headed to his door. He opened the door and jestered for me to come inside with out saying a word.

     We sat on the edge of the bed for a while in silence. He finally spoke fist thought. "So you talked to  Deaton." He said looking at me. I was still looking at the floor. "Ya. You know you should have told me. Before you left. Told me everything cause I thought Scott didn't want to be my friend anymore. And I was worried day I'm surprised I don't have grey hair from all the worrying." I said now looking into his eyes. "I know I should've. But my wolf took over so fast. I didn't even wanna mark you yet. I wanted to wait and ask if you were ok with it first. I'm sorry." I pulled my hand up and touched his cheek and was rubbing it with my thumb. I leaned in and kissed him. "It's ok. Honestly its ok." I said before leaning right back into the kiss.

     The kiss was very passionate and it sent chills down my spine. We moved back into the bed to lay down with him on top of me. We got heated real fast but before anything happened Derek pulled away. "Are you sure you want to." He asked. I leaned in to kiss him again and moved my way up to his ear. "I don't want to. I want you." And with that I nibbled his ear.
