Derek Hale Imagines

Amazing

You slowly strolled through Beacon Hills. The town had changed so much that you needed to get acquainted. You started with the town, moving out until your reached the woods, deciding to walk through them and happily found little had changed.

You paused when a large wolf strolled past, paused and sniffed the air, before changing direction to head your way. The wolf tilted it's head and woofed softly. He padded over and snuffled at you.

"A little wolf with black fur in the middle of Cali... Peter or Derek?" You asked. When you mentioned Derek his ears wriggled and his tail wagged. "I see. Why're you so small? No one else was so small, you look like a husky." You muttered, making him huff and growl a little as you checked his ears and rubbed his ribs.

He grumbled a little and sloped off. You didn't see him again until you went to pick up dinner and swing by to see Deaton. "You know I'm not small of a wolf." He muttered from behind you as he reached over to swipe his card through the machine before you could hand over your cash.

"Could have fooled me puppy." You said and squeezed his face in your hand as you grabbed your food and smiled at the two boys who were gawking at Derek.

"I'll see you two at the pack meeting." He said, grinning when they continued to stare but now at you.

"Yeah... sure thing." Stiles muttered, burning his next customer with their coffee as he stared after Derek.

"He has... friends?" Liam asked dubiously.

"It's been a long time since you were back here." Deaton said with a smile as you leant on the door. "I had to hire Scott to take over your old job." He joked.

"Well I had to stop being an assistant some time." You answered quickly with a grin as you opened the door and pulled Derek through to the back.

"Why'd you come back?" Derek asked lazily as he sat on the side and watched you look around the building.

"I heard you could do with some help. I graduated so." You trailed off and shrugged.

"WHAT!" He yelled making Lydia jump as the pack filtered into the back room. "How could you not tell me or invite me!"

He was so uncharacteristically not Derek that everyone stared. "I told you... Maybe he's sick." Liam whispered to Mason without looking away from Derek.

"I know who you are!" Scott said as he stepped into the room. Everyone's attention turned to him and he blushed. "You used to work here."

"Yup, that'd be me. I went off to college." You explained and Scott nodded.

"Pfft to study werewolves or something?" Malia teased and glanced at Liam when he snickered.

"Lycanthropy and all associated creatures, general mythology and lore, I had to throw in a few business and English degrees to make it seem legit." You winked at the group.

"She's amazing!" Lydia whispered as you went on to list when else you'd studied.

"So am in your pack or what?" You asked abruptly making everyone look to Scott who glanced at Derek.

"Saved my ass more times than I can count." He shrugged, ignoring your question of 'how high can a dog count?' As he nodded. "She'd be a great help but it's up to you."

"If you say we can trust her she's in." Scott decided and everyone smiled.

"Cool she's like an updated Stiles." Liam said and received a slap on the back of the head from Malia who promptly pushed Stiles aside to join Lydia in cooing over the new things you could teach them.
