The Bastard Child ~Teen Wolf

Chapter Forty Two

Derek's POV

I sighed deeply as I listen to Mac walk out of the loft. I walked back in the room to see the leather jacket I gave her on the floor. It was wet in some spots from tears.

"Derek." I heard Cora say in sympathy. Of course she heard it all, were sold hearing makes it very easy to eavesdrop.

"I had no choice." I responded and limped to my room. I had to push Mac away. It was the only way to keep her safe. After Deucalion's ultimatum, I had to push everyone away. I couldn't kill my pack. No matter how emotionless I seem, I can't do it. I can't hurt Mac, not physically anyway. So i had to make her want to leave my pack. It was all to protect her.

I finally kissed her. After what seemed like forever. Mac is the first person who made me feel since Paige. Not even Kate made me feel like this. My feelings for Mac scare the crap out of me. That kiss felt so right, made me feel like everything would be alright. I knew that wasn't the case though. 

"Derek you can't push them all away." Cora said following me.

"I have to. It's the only way to keep her safe." I responded.

"Der, if she makes you happy then-" Cora started but I cut her off.

"You know what would make me happy? If you would shut up about it!" I snapped. I didn't mean too, but I already felt bad enough about it. It was what I had to do. She was way too young anyway. She's still just a kid. I mean, sure she's almost 17 now, but I'm almost 21. I need to date my age. I need to leave my love life outside of these high school kids hang around with.

Isaac walked in the door with a smirk on his face. He looked excited and giddy, but I knew I was going to ruin that for him. It was only around 5 or 6 when he came in, but the storm outside was horrendous.

"Derek, you'll never believe what happened today." Isaac said, then noticing his stuff by the door. "What's going on?"

"You have to go." I said, continuing to look out the window.

"Wait, what?" Isaac asked.

"You need to leave. I already packed your stuff. So go." I told him.

"Ah- I don't get it." Isaac asked, starting to annoy me, "Look, did something happen?"

"It's just not gonna work with both of you here. I've got Cora now. It's too much. I need you out tonight." I responded, though I felt bad, I had to keep going with this.

Isaac let out a dry chuckle, "Where am I supposed to go?"

"Somewhere else." I responded. Maybe he could go stay with Mac.

"Did I do something wrong, Derek?" Isaac asked. I rolled my eyes and turned toward him finally.

"You're doing something wrong right now by not leaving." I say annoyed and point at the door.

"Come on." Isaac begged.

"Just get out." I said but Isaac continued begging.

"Derek, please."

"Get out." I said, I knew I was going to have to resort to something that would definitely make him leave. Isaac told me about the plate incident with his Dad. I knew I'd have to use that information against him to get him out.

Right as Issac said his next words, I launched my cup of water at his head. He flinched hid his face. I could smell the fear and anger coming off of him. I could see it in his face when he turned back to look at me. Isaac grabbed his bag and left quickly after that.

I sighed heavily and looked down at the table in front of me. I grabbed the book on the table and threw it in anger. I'm so a get at Deucalion for putting me in this position. I had to push them away if I wanted them to live.

"Derek." Cora said coming around the corner of the wall she hid behind. I sighed heavily.

"You should go too." I said to her. Cora was the one I wanted to protect the most. I just found out she was alive and I wanted her to stay that way. As much I wanted my sister around, I couldn't be the cause of her death. Not after I almost caused it the first time.

"I'm not going anywhere." She said and I sighed again, "Derek, we are family. If we're gonna die, we're gonna die together. Trying our best to save the rest of these dumbasses."

I have to keep reminding myself that I'm trying to save everyone. That's why I'm doing this.

-----------------------------

I can't be mad at Derek anymore. He's trying to keep Isaac and Mac alive.

Let me know what ya think?
