Is it fate?

Chapter 3

The sheriff is freaking out his son has never been gone all night before. When he hears the door he rushes to it and sees his son. He lets out a sigh of relief then he notices the bandage on his head. "Stiles oh my god I was so worried! What happen to your head? Why didn’t you come home last night?"

"Dad calm down, I'm fine now." Stiles says. Then he walks over and hugs his dad.

The sheriff hugs him back, "Now? Why weren't you ok? Your head has a bandage."

Stiles sighs, "I crashed into a tree and passed out. When I woke I was in someone's home with them wiping at my head with a rag. That person turned out to be Derek Hale." The sheriff tensed at the mention of Derek's name but Stiles didn't notice. "I spent the night there and he brought me home this morning."

"Well I must thank him for saving you. You’re ok now though? Are you hungry?"

Stiles smiles, "Yeah I'm ok now and no I ate breakfast with Derek."

"Oh well he seems nice." The sheriff says frowning. 'Derek Hale?! God he could have killed Stiles or turned him. If the stories are true!'

"Yeah he's really nice and really cute." Stiles says smiling.

Jims eyes widen, "Stiles you can't date Derek Hale."

Stiles frowns and moves away from his dad. "Why not?"

"Because I said so." Jim says after not being able to think of a good reason.

"NO you promised!" Stiles says upset

Jim sighs, "I'm sorry I didn’t mean to break my promise. Just please be careful."

Stiles hugs his dad, "Thanks I love you dad."

The sheriff rubs his back, "Promise you'll be careful. I love you too."

"I promise to be careful." Stiles says.

Meanwhile Derek is home thinking how quiet his house is without Stiles. Then just as he lets out a sigh there's a knock at his door.

Derek gets off the couch and answers the door. "Come in Jackson."

Jackson walks in and plops on the couch. "Lydia is being bitchier than usual. Can I hide here?"

Derek chuckles, "Yeah you can hide here."

Jackson's eyes widen, "Did you...you did! What the hell? Where is my grumpy alpha?"

Derek glares at Jackson but it doesn't have the usual heat behind it. "I saved someone last night. He made me smile and laugh. I don't know where Mr. grumpy, as Danny calls me, went. But I think it has something to do with him."

"Who Danny?" Jackson asks.

"No you idiot. The guy I saved." Derek says shaking his head at his beta.

Jackson mouth is an "O" before he speaks. "Do you think he's your mate?"

Derek shakes his head, "I don't know yet. I just know that he was able to make me laugh and smile." Derek chuckles, "He's such a smartass."

Jackson grins, "I think you have a crush on mystery guy."

Derek looks at him, "No you think. Any ways he goes to your school."

Jacksons wide eyes lock on his alpha, "Who?!"

"His name is Stiles Stilinski. Do you know him?" Derek asks

"Know him, I make his life hell. He kissed Lydia once." Jackson says then he yelps and runs for the door.

Derek's eyes are red and he lunges for Jackson but he moves before Derek can grab him. "Come here!" Derek growls

"No! I'm sorry, I will stop. I will even apologize!" Jackson says

Derek stops growling and his eyes go back to normal. "Good you better. I don't want to hear of you bullying my potential mate again. Or you will be punished!"

Jackson sighs, he hates apologizing. "Ok. For the record I hope he is your mate. He’s a likeable guy, I just hate him because he kissed Lydia."

Derek nods.
