Chapter 5
Stiles POV
I woke up groggy and disoriented, but once I shook my head and blinked, my eyes cleared up. I looked around realizing that I was in the Hale mansion, I got up and stretched and walked around, my bear feet padding the hard floor, I grabbed my shoes that I must have kicked off in the middle of the night and put them on. Once they were on I went exploring, I actually realized that I never been inside before.
“You up already?” a voice said startling me.
I spun around and saw Derek on the stairs.
“Yeah, for some odd reason that was the best sleep I had in years,” I admitted.
I saw Derek’s jaw tick but his demeanor remained the same. I looked around taking in the scenery.
“So this is the famous Hale Mansion,” I said, “I actually never been inside this house, I can only guess how annoyed you get when people barge in without knocking,” I said giggling softly,
Derek’s demeanor started to relax.
“Hey, do you want to get breakfast, my treat?”
“No.”
“Oh, alright, well I am going to scoot, so I’ll see you around. Thanks for letting me stay.” I smiled and turned and left the ruined house.
Instead of going to get food I returned to my house, I felt like a zombie again, I don’t know where or what I am doing, I’m just there. I forced myself to clean up the place, like taking off the sheets dust the place. However once all that was done I sat on the couch and stared into space. I was interrupted by a knock on the door.
I got up and walked to the door, opening it. I saw Scott and Allison at the doorstep.
“Hey guys, how are you guys?” I said stepping aside letting them in.
“Hey Stiles,” Allison said hugging me.
“Stiles, come and have dinner with us.” Scott said
“What?” I asked looking at my watch, it was 6:30pm “Dang time flew by, but sure.”
“Alright,” Scott said and we all piled into Allison SUV.
Allison drove to the local dinner, once we sat down, I braced myself for the probing questions. Once everyone ordered, the questions began.
I answered them as honestly as I can, fibbing here and there. The food finally came, and we lapped into miniature conversations. They told me they have been trying to have a child, but nothing works.
“I have an idea about the who making a baby thing,” I said.
They looked at me seriously.
“Scott have you ever had sex while in your wolf form?” I asked.
“No.”
“Try that,” I said simply,
“Why?”
“Scott, Allison is your mate, I think your soldiers are more active if you claim her. If that don’t work, then it is because she is still human,”
“Makes sense,” Allison said.
“Okay.”
The dinner ended and they dropped me off at my house. I waved them goodbye and they drove off. I turned and closed the door locking it. I trudged up the steps stripping my clothes off as I go. I was naked by time I got the bathroom.
I turned the water on and waited until it got hot, then I flipped the switch so the tub can fill up. It took maybe 5 minutes to fill up before I turned it off. I slid into the water and moaned as my muscles relaxed. I heard my cellphone vibrate, I reach over and grabbed it.
“Hello?” I said softy.
“Stiles,” it was Derek. “Are you alright, I can barely hear you?
“I’m fine, just relaxing in a tub full of hot water.” I practically purred.
I heard a clatter in the background. “What was that, did you drop something?”
“Uh no, that was a piece of timber,” Derek said far too quickly.
“Why is a piece of timber falling?” I asked concerned
“I can stay with you for a while?” Derek asked fast.
“Why?” I asked suspiciously.
“The house is falling apart, there is a beam where I was supposed to be sleeping at.”
“Alright, alright, the key is under the mat, I swear if you’re gonna kill me I am going to HAUNT you.”
“Thanks,” was all Derek said and there was a dial tone.
I hung up and sunk deeper into the hot water, my muscles relaxed to the point that I literally fell asleep in the water.
