Starving (A Teen Wolf fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty-Six

*Derek's POV*

I pull out the front of Argent's home, staring at the bricked house. His car was parked out the front indicating he was home. I get out of the car heading towards Argent's house.

"Derek" A voice comes from behind me. I turn to see Scott coming up behind me.

"What?" I growl.

"Don't do whatever you were planning on doing" Scott warns me.

"Or what?" I eye him. He remains silent knowing he was weaker than me as he was only a beta and I'm an alpha. I brush him off walking over to the side of the house and jumping up against the brick until I was at a window. I look in to see a study which looked to be Argents. Let's just say this isn't my first time coming here. I open the window, taking a seat on his leather chair. I look out the window waiting for him to enter his room. Approximately ten minutes later I hear footsteps come into the room, and the door close softly. I turn in the chair to see Argent putting something into a drawer.

"Argent" I murmur. He jumps in surprise turning quickly towards me. His hand land on his gun but I just roll my eyes.

"Save it" I fold my arms.

"What are you doing here?" He stares at me.

"I heard what you did" I grind my teeth together as I tried to stop myself from running to Kate and slitting her throat.

"It wasn't me Derek." He states, taking his hand off of his gun.

"I know; it was your fucking sister" I get angry causing me to slam my fist on his desk.

"You better keep Kate under control. Especially if it involves Scott" I add on as he looks at me confused.

"What?"

"The person Kate shot was Scott's sister. So unless you don't want your daughter knowing about all of this" I stop gesturing to all of his weaponry.

"Then, I suggest you tell Kate to fucking stay away from Marzia. Understand?" I stand walking towards him as he stands his ground.

"You better watch yourself Derek. You're in my domain." Chris threatens. I softly sigh stepping away.

"I um... I also came to thank you" I suddenly say which surprises the both of us, as I sit on the edge of Argent's desk.

"Marzia told me you saved her from Kate" I explain.

"Yeah, as soon as I saw her, I knew she hadn't hurt or killed anyone before. So for Kate to hunt her is against the code. I couldn't let Kate kill someone innocent" He states.

"Well you're right, she hasn't hurt anyone, let alone kill. Argent, I know I haven't given you much of a choice to trust me but... Believe me when I tell you this. Marzia didn't want to be a werewolf and would never hurt someone just because she has the ability to. But other hunters don't know that and I can't always be there to make sure she's safe" I inform him feeling stupid for allowing him to see me like this. But he needs to know I'm not trying to trick him.

"You surprise me as always Derek. I never knew someone like you could actually care so much" Chris smirks at me feeling some sort of power over me.

"Argent, it kills me to say this but I need you to help me protect her" I beg him.

"Derek... One of your kind killed my wife and fellow associates of mine-" He says but I cut him off.

"And your kind have killed my kind, my whole family and burnt my house down. Two of those done by your own sister" I state. He sighs folding his arms as he looks out the window.

"This is what I'll do Derek. I'll keep a watch over Marzia mostly for Scott's sake and I know Allison will never forgive me if I let her boyfriend's sister get killed. Also, I can't guarantee her safety against Kate." He finally says putting his gun in a draw.

"Thank you Argent. This really does mean a lot to me." I stand up feeling relieved.

"But like I said... No guarantee." He adds on as I go over to the window.

"I understand." I nod sliding out of the window and jumping down to the ground.

*Marzia's POV*

"Isaac, it's worrying me how long the two of them are taking. Especially Derek" I say as I hug my pillow. I was slowly returning to my normal self. I was beginning to feel scared at how long I was my wolf form. But all there was left was my nails to just finish returning to their normal shade and shape.

"I'm sure they aren't doing anything too... well..." Isaac fades out thinking of an excuse.

"Like, Scott has always been able to control his emotions well. But Derek, he isn't able to hold back his emotions especially his anger. He's just that kind of person. He needs to know he's in control, that he's the dominant one. He also does stupid things to protect the ones he cares about. That's why I'm worrying about what he's doing because I know he'll do whatever it takes to make sure I'm safe." I explain worrying myself to death. He most likely went to look for Kate or Chris?

"Speak of the Devil" Isaac mutters looking over towards the front door. I sit up looking watching as Derek enters the house carrying something. My mum soon follows behind him smiling wide as she enters the house.

"Look who I ran into out the front" My mum laughs carrying some bags into the kitchen. Derek closes the door as I run up to him. I wrap my arms around his neck glad he wasn't hurt.

"Don't do that again! I thought something bad might have happened" I pull back cupping his face with my hands.

"No everything is fine" He says kissing my forehead. He walks off and into the kitchen leaving me a little confused. I look back to Isaac who just shrugs at me. I walk towards the kitchen watching Derek helping my mum unpack. Seeing him do this brought a smile to my face.

"How was work mama?" I ask her walking in.

"It was quite slow being on reception. But I'm glad to be home" She smiles putting the milk in the fridge.

"I also got some wine" She sings happily pulling out some wine. I laugh softly at her excitement over wine.

"I don't know what time your father will be home. I expect in an hour... Was there anything specific you wanted for dinner?" She asks both Derek and I.

"I don't mind mama" I shrug.

"It doesn't bother me Mrs. McCall" Derek smiles.

"I told you, you can call me Melissa" She softly chuckles.

"I think I have some money on me so maybe I we could order some Thai?" I suggest.

"Sounds great"
