Like You (Derek Hale Fanfic)

Training

My eyes were shut, but my senses were still on full alert. I become full aware of what had happened the night before. I mated with Derek Hale.

My eyes fluttered open. I had no idea what time it was since the subway station was underground. I felt a plush bedding underneath of me. He must have moved us in the middle of the night. I also felt fabric covering my body. I guess he put my clothes back on me as well. My body ached as I rolled onto my stomach, my hair spread out on the pillows. I felt a stinging in my wrist. I pushed my hair out of my face and looked at my wrist. Derek's mark was still really fresh. The wound was pretty deep, but there wasn't any blood seeping through. I turned to see if he was in the bed with me, but... Nope. That selfish bastard. I knew he would just get up and leave. After everything that just happened, he still wanted to run. Whatever. I was so done.

I sat up, ripping the sheets from my body and cracking my aching back and neck. I was unbelievably sore from the many rounds that that selfish prick and I shared last night.

"Good morning," a gruff voice sounded from the opening of the train car. I turned my hazy vision towards the door and there stood Derek. I was surprised he hadn't left and regret ever doing anything with me.

"Uh, yeah. Morning," I replied rubbing my eyes and yawning. Bleh, I need to brush my teeth.

"Need me to get you anything?" He asked as he walked towards the bed and sat down at the end. I shook my head. I got up slowly and slugged my way into the small bathroom that Derek had installed himself, as well for the rest of the rooms in the station.

After a much needed shower and brushing my teeth, I came out of Derek's train car to see him training the Betas. I had changed into a pair of yoga pants and a white tank top. When Derek heard me, he turned around and stopped his training.

"What do I need to do?" I asked him. He shook his head and chuckled, his gorgeous eyes staring into mine. He carefully walked over to me, rubbing his hand on my arms.

"Don't worry about training. You can afford a day off. But I do have to talk to you after I'm finished with them," he whispered, giving me a peck on the cheek before turning his attention back to the pups, his muscles flexing as he taught them various techniques and combat moves. Holy... He was sexy.

"Erica, do it again! Now!" He yelled at the little blonde who was wearing an unbelievably low cut top matched with extremely tight jeans. My wolf growled, feeling extremely jealous and ready to pounce on the small beta and claw her eyes out.

'Mine,' she purred. 'He is mine.'

Whatever, you psychotic she bitch. I tried to keep my thoughts in check as I sat down on a bench and watch my mate do his work.

He knew what he was doing. He had done this shit his whole life, I could understand why he was so cold. Yet... It was nice to see the softer side of Derek. Just remembering every sweet word he uttered to me during our mating turned me to mush. I needed him and it isn't even ten o'clock in the morning. I need help.

"Good, Isaac," Derek's voice broke through my mind. Isaac threw another punch at Boyd, and he went flying across the room and into the wall. Boyd got up, his shifted face hissing at Isaac, who was also wolfed out. Boyd ran up to Isaac, grabbing him and throwing him to the ground. His forearm was putting pressure on Isaac's throat. Isaac's body was thrashing around until he finally got enough strength to kick Boyd off with his feet. Before Boyd went flying to the ground again, he got a good slash to Isaac's stomach.

"Enough," Derek said, stroking the back of his neck. I could see my mark on his neck and it made my she wolf purr in delight. I had caused that. Derek Hale was mine.

"Can we take a break now? We've been doing this for hours and it feels like I have a hundred broken bones!" Isaac exclaimed, rubbing his arms. Erica nodded in agreement and Boyd just kept quiet. Derek went up to Isaac, grabbing is arm forcefully and tightening his grip until I heard a snap. Isaac howled in pain and fell to the ground.

"Make that one hundred and one," Derek said through his teeth. "I'm teaching you to survive! What if I die? You'll have no one around to protect your asses. Now get out of my sight." The pups got up and scurried upstairs to the upper cars. I slowly inched my way up, my body still aching. I let out a heavy breath. Derek's attention turned towards me, his red eyes locking with mine.

"Don't you think that was a little harsh? They are just kids," I whispered as I made my way towards him.

"Well, they have responsibilities now. I'm not going to be there to always protect them," he murmured back gruffly. I could feel the aching in his muscles through my body. I grabbed his arm and place his hand on my waist as I caressed his neck. I pulled him into my body as he rested his head in my neck. He slowly nipped at the skin there and I just stroked his hair. This man was beyond stressed out.

"I'm here for you, you know that, right?" I said placing a kiss on his head. He nodded, unable to speak. I lugged him into his room and put him on the bed. As soon as I was about to turn and leave, he grabbed my hand tight with his own.

"Stay," he simply said. I couldn't say no to him. I was entirely too in love with him to say no, so I just nodded and sat on the bed. I pulled his head onto my lap, and his quiet snores filled the room. I loved moments like this, but I felt like the carefree feelings wouldn't be lasting long.
