"Okay, we saved your life, which means you're gonna leave us alone, you got that? And if you don't, I'm gonna go back to Allison's dad, and I'm gonna tell him everything," Scott tries to speak but Derek cuts him off.

"You're gonna trust them? You think they can help you?" Derek asked.

"Well, why not? They're a lot freaking nicer than you are." Scott shouts.

"I can show you exactly how nice they are." Derek says.

"What do you mean?" Scott asked. Derek grabs his shirt and puts it back on. He grabs my hand and Scotts shoulder. We get into Derek's car as we drive over to a nursing home.

"What are we doing here?" Scott asked. Derek kept quiet. We walk down the hall to a closed off room. Derek opens it letting us in. A man sat in a chair staring away in the distance.

"Who is he?" Scott asked.

"My uncle. Peter Hale." Derek tells him.

"Is he - like you, a werewolf?" Scott asked.

"He was. Now he's barely even human. Six years ago, my sister and I were at school, and our house caught fire. 13 people were trapped inside along with Alexis's parents. He was the only survivor."

"What makes you so sure that they set the fire?" Scott says.

"Cause they're the only ones that knew about us." Derek says in a matter of fave tone.

"Well, then - They had a reason." Scott says.

"So your saying my parents had a reason to be killed?" I look at Scott hurt. He doesn't get it. His parents might be divorced and not get along as well as they used to but at least they're not dead. At least he still has his mom.

"Like what? You tell me what justifies this." Derek spins Peter around showing us his scorched face.

"They say they'll only kill an adult, and only with absolute proof, but there were people in my family that were perfectly ordinary in that fire. Lexy's parents were in that fire and they were close enough to ordinary. This is what they do. And it's what Allison will do." Derek tells us.

"What are you doing? How did you get in here?" A nurse stood in the door way.

"We were just leaving." Derek says as he grabs my hand and leads Scott back to the car. Derek drives Scott home. It was nice for him to do that.

"Alright, I need to take you home now." Derek says. We drive in silence and pull up to my house.

"I'll see you," I cut him off with a kiss. I pull away.

"You need to be more careful." I give him one more kiss.

"Are you really scared to lose someone like me?" Derek pulls away.

"Of course I am. Why would you ask that?" I shake my head puzzled.

"You think I don't care about you? I do. You know I might not admit it normally like everyone else does. Profess my love for you. Scott and Stiles warned me about you. Yet here I am sitting in your car kissing you every second I can get. I don't wanna lose you." I tell him. He looks out the window unsure of what to say back.

"I get it, I'm rushing things. We only met each other a month ago. So it makes since that I'm rushing. I get it if you don't want me. But it seems like you do want me. Just not official yet. We got a lot going on especially with the Alpha and my birthday next week. So, we don't have to be together right now." Derek's eyes dart to me.

"Just, I have never cared about someone as much as I care about you. I mean Scott and Stiles their family to me just as much as Bella and grand is. Scott's mom is like a mom to me. And Stiles's dad is pretty much like a dad to me. So I've got all my family members I just don't have that person will love me unconditional. I see that you want to be that person. I can tell that you don't want to hurt me. I can tell that you want to keep me safe and protect me." Derek leans in and kisses my lips softly then pulls away.
