STEREK; PLAYING WITH WOLVES

Chapter 10

Stiles POV

6 months later

"Wakey wakey..........dang hes really out of it."

My eyes snapped open at the sounds of ericas voice. "Get everyone ready we leave within the hour got it?"

Erica shook her head and walked off to go find the others and to start preparing for the next search. There had been no sign of stiles in the past 6 months.

I'de failed him and I'de failed the pact. I hadn't only let my mate be taken but i'de also shown weakness to my pack. I sat up and pulled my legs in." Where are you Stiles I know you haven't given up just yet so where are you babe?" I got up and started to pack my stuff. We had been traveling anywhere and everywhere trying to find him.

We were currently somewhere out near Texas.I heard footsteps approach my tent from outside and continued to pack without any hesitation.

"Knock knock...."

I continued packing acting like i hadn't heard anything.

"Der come on why wont you talk to me come on." I had let down the pack but I had also let down Scott most of all. Ever since I had failed to protect Stiles in the ambush I had barely uttered a word to him so that I could remind myself of what I had done to him.

"Shouldn't you be with the others getting everything ready so that we can continue searching?" Scott scoffed and started to chuckle. " Derek when are you going to stop? I know this is hard for you and that you can't stand the fact that you screwed up but you have to understand something, Stiles is a man he is also our alpha. That clearly shows that he can handle himself." I stopped folding my sleeping bag. It wasn't that I was fed up.

It was just I felt like my hole in my heart would never stop growing without him. And here was my mates best friend telling me to suck it up and to try to move on until better times. "Der please.... have you noticed how much we've all been affected by this, huh?"

I started to tear up. I'de let them all down. I had noticed how much it had been affecting them all that was one of the biggest mistakes I had made. "Me and Isa haven't been talking much lately and when we do all we do is argue and its all because of this issue. I can't even barley breath knowing that Stiles is gone but to add on to it I can't be happy with the one that I love most."

I turned around and saw tears streaming down Scotts face. "Derek will- will you just say something its like the worlds closing in and theres nothing that I can d- do about it and and and...." I quickly pulled him into my lap and held onto him tightly as he started to sob. "Scott this is why I hate myself for everything thats happened, no matter what I do it seems as if I can't protect anyone that I love."

I whispered into his hair. My tears started to finally fall for the first time since the day that Stiles was taken from us. "We are a family, do you here me we are all a family and we look out for each other no matter what and we will always have each others back. And do you know what you are being so brave and I envy you for that. I want you to know that we are going to find him and nothing will stop us."

Scott buried his face into my chest and gradually stopped sobbing retreating to a silent slow cry. "I miss him so much Der." I wiped Scotts tears away as he looked up at me finally. " You and me both bud, you and me both......"
