Castiel's Secret

Chapter 15

They were just coming back from chasing after Kate, and Derek was furious to say the least. Even when they had fanned out to try and leave no room open for her to escape. Kate had managed to disappear from sight so suddenly, which pissed him off. If she had that ability, why hadn't she done that in the first place.

"Stiles!" Derek growled out when it finally hit him. Kate was just toying with them, from the beginning. "Get back to the house! We have to get to Stiles!" Derek growled out to his pack before running back in the way they had come. He felt like such an idiot. He let his anger get the best of him, again. 'Please be ok,' He repeated over and over in his head as he ran.

"Derek? Hey! What about Kate?!" Malia yelled after him before letting out a huff. How rude of him, all he ever thinks about is Stiles! "Come on, don't be mad Stiles is just only human and a hell lot of a trouble." Kira said as she wrapped her hand around Malia's shoulder to try and comfort her. "I guess you're right," Malia said as her pout eased and turned into a grin as her arms wrapped around Kira's waist. She tugged her closer trying to steal a kiss, but Kira had coldly rejected her attempts with an, "Where's Peter?"

"Dammit! You ruin everything Peter!" Malia cursed out in her head as she let go of Kira. Why the hell did Peter have to be the reason behind the rejection? She couldn't help but internally whine.

"Let's hurry, before Derek gets mad." Kira said already further away from Malia who was still glooming in the spot Kira had left her.

"Derek's already mad," Malia grumbled out only to get a warning look from Kira.

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm going." Malia said before running to catch up to Kira.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

By the time Derek got close to the Hale house, his fury had completely left him and replaced with horror, fear, and worry.

Kate had not just placed holy oil in a circle like she had been told to do, but she had scattered oil all over the remains of the Hale house. The whole place was being wrapped in the burning flames, the remaining wood popped as the fire broke it down, and the sound of the building becoming unsteady could be heard.

"N-No..." Derek couldn't help but stutter out horrified at the scene before him. No, not again. Kate couldn't have done this to him again. He couldn't lose his mate, not now, not ever. "Stiles!!" Derek yelled out desperately as he raced towards the burning flames.

Peter who had just arrived at the scene seconds after Derek, was just as horrified. That bitch, she couldn't have taken everything from Derek again, could she? He looked at his nephew and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He looked towards the burning fire, he could hear the wood start falling. "Whoa! Derek stop!" Peter couldn't help but yell as he ran after him. Peter grabbed a hold of Derek and stopped him just as the remains of the house collapsed just before their eyes.

"Stiles!!" Derek yelled out with such a desperate voice, it was heartbreaking even for Peter. Derek couldn't fight it, the pain was too much and being mixed with his anger had only served to grab hold of Peter and shove him away with such force that made him fall back. Peter groaned at the pain and got up, he was mad at getting shoved but he knew how it felt to lose your mate. "Derek calm the f-..." Peter hadn't finished his sentence because he had notice something coming from the fire.

Derek's eyes had turned to glare at his uncle but when he saw the look of surprise on it, he quickly turned. From the fire something was emerging. He squinted his eyes as if it would help him see better through the raging flames. "Stiles?" He muttered out as his heart painfully stopped. Hope, build in him but the second he saw the angel walk out of the fire alone and unharmed his hope died. "Where's Stiles?" Derek he asked, not really wanting to hear the confirmation of his mate's death.
