They left him. After all these years, Derek Hale was truly alone.
Can Stiles tame the demons that still control Derek Hale or will Derek be alone once more?
A few weeks had passed and they had been pretty great. The Pack was closer than ever since movie night and were eager to not only reconnect with their alpha and pack mother but also treat him to lunch which was pretty sweet of the pups. Derek had been getting stronger and healthier much like his old self except now he's more happier than he is stoic and grumpy. The appearance made Cora genuinely smile as she and Stiles took a break from their sparring to watch Derek playfully wrestle with Liam and Isaac who are like the babies of the group, Erica, Lydia, Allison and Cora are the big sisters and Jackson and Boyd are the older brothers because they were the most mature next to Stiles and Derek. Liam tended to stick by Stiles' side whenever he got angry or scared or Derek when there was pack business to discuss or whenever he needed help being brave.
"The last time I saw him this happy was when our family was alive and it was thanksgiving. Father accidentally burned the Mac and Cheese because he was so busy playing with all of us, Laura, Derek, Francis and me. We just laughed it off and ordered some." Stiles snickered at the story before smiling fondly as Isaac stealthily snuck up behind Derek from a tree and dropped down, crashing into Derek who laughed at how Isaac cheered in victory and high fived his little 'brother' before Liam tackled Derek with Isaac and they just piled on the man. "You brought my brother back, the one that was lost in the fire. Thank you Stiles." Cora said, looking at the boy. Stiles smiled back and took Cora's hand gently before squeezing it. "You're welcome Cor."
She soon left to shower and Stiles still sat on the log, smiling his two pups cuddle all over his mate. Stiles smirked and undressed, shifting into his fox form.

He gave himself a good shake and stretch to get used to being on four legs before yipping and running over to the pack who stopped what they were doing to come to Stiles. They all changed into their wolf forms and Stiles yipped happily and chased the wolves around.

He was gaining on Liam until he felt something trip him and he flipped, rolling onto his back. Stiles thought it was a threat until he saw a big, black wolf with red eyes smirking at him before tickling his stomach with its nose. Stiles yipped repeatedly before the wolf who was Derek stopped and curled up next to Stiles, watching as the fox growled playfully and pounced on Derek's fluffy tail and bit down softly before rolling over and swatting at it as if it was a cat toy.

Derek snuffed and barked as both he and Stiles got piled on by Erica, Jackson, Boyd, Liam, Isaac, Cora, Lydia and Allison. It was one giant happy pile that had Stiles purring and cuddling under Derek's tail, yipping. It was the perfect moment until Stiles smelled something familiar and hopped out of the pile, growing west of the woods. His fur spiked even on his tail as he hissed and growled, ready to pounce. How dare he come and try to show his face, his entire person, on his mate's land? Stiles saw the familiar form and something in him made his eyes glow as he charged before Derek could stop the fox and Stiles pounced, making the figure fall and roll.
Stiles growled, hissed, scratched and bit Scott all over until he was thrown off but he caught himself and didn't back down as Scott roared at the fox, Stiles gave off his own furious roar. Scott was about to charge when Derek stepped in front of Stiles and roared louder than Scott who cowered, eyes turning beta yellow which confused and scared Stiles who couldn't help but cower under Derek, ears flattening into his head

Scott bowed his head and let Derek push him with his snout towards the pack who growled at Scott. Derek turned to Stiles and checked him over before licking his furry head in comfort. Stiles was fine, just angry instead of confused and scared. He leaned up and licked Derek under his chin, rubbing his cheek against his mate's arm before moving from under him. They walked back to the pack and Stiles understood the look from Derek before glaring at Scott and snarled before Jackson lifted Stiles up by his scruff and let Stiles grab his clothes before walking to the loft. Everyone dressed and didn't argue as a huffing, glowing eyed, fanged out Stiles ordered them to take a shower.

Once all the pups were upstairs, Stiles heard the door open and turned to see Derek...and Scott. Stiles turned away from his ex friend. "Stiles...Stiles please just listen to me. I'm sorry that I believed Theo over you, I'm sorry that I let everything go to hell and that I blamed Derek for everything. You're my brother Stiles and my friend, I'm so sorry I fucked up." Stiles felt anger fuel him as his eyes shined bright as he turned and snarled, making Scott jump back until he was against a pillar. Stiles didn't stop snarling. "Oh so you get to explain your actions but when I want to, you decide to believe a fucking traitor over your best friend?! Do you have any idea how much DAMAGE YOU HAVE CAUSED DEREK?! THE PACK?! You don't get to stroll in our home and think you'll be forgiven!!"
Stiles banged his fist just above Scott's head that it made Scott flinch and tremble in fear. "Leave!!!!" Stiles shouted with a growl. Scott scrambled out and Stiles held his position until he heard and smelled that Scott was gone. Derek watched as slowly, Stiles began to fall to his knees and shift into a curled up ball of fur hiding under his tail. Derek was still in his wolf form as he came over to his sad mate and curled up around Stiles, covering his with his head. The Pack watched from the stairs, afraid but worried. Isaac and Liam were the first to break free from the group and sat near their parents. One by one each person came over to join the pile and curled up around Derek's fur. Stiles looked up when he heard whimpering coming from a trembling Isaac, so the fox climbed out of Derek's hold and onto Isaac's lap, nuzzling the boy under his chin and licking his tears away. Issac chuckled and hugged the fox. "I'm okay mom."
