Stiles was scrunched up in his chair at his desk. His knee bent under his chin while the other folded underneath him. Physics was currently beating the crap out of him with its last problem. How the hell was he supposed to answer the damn question when he had an alpha breathing down his neck? He could have copied Lydia, really he could have, but he had decided he wanted to give it a try himself.

"Stiles!" Derek growled from behind Stiles. He had been trying to get the boy's attention for the last 10 minutes or so.

"Not now, Derek, Physics and I got to settle this one," Stiles said waving Derek off as he kept scribbling down the equation and mumbling to himself every step he had to take to get his answer. But suddenly he was being pulled from his desk and his pencil ran down the paper drawing a line across it.

"What do you want Derek?!" Stiles said mad as he turned his attention to the alpha, when he was twirled around in his seat to face him. He wanted to finish his homework, honestly for once he wanted to do it and here Derek was distracting him when so many times before it was him that had tried to persuade him to do it so not to meddle in something important he had no business in.

Derek narrowed his eyes at Stiles when he had raised his voice at him in obvious annoyance. "Scott said that you are getting artificially inseminated," Derek said as he crossed his arms. It had bothered the alpha the moment he had heard that Stiles wanted to get inseminated with another's sperm.

Stiles' anger had quickly fleeted at the alpha's words before he let himself deflate in his chair and lean back into it, making it creak as it leaned back with his weight. "Look Derek, it's my decision and like I told Scotty the Blabby, stay out of it," He said before unfolding himself from his chair and scooting it back to his desk.

It was last year that he had made his decision, he had been 22 and wasn't getting any younger. The pack had for some unknown reason never let him seek a mate. Being the omega of the pack, he had to get approval from the pack to mate, and none of them had seemed to like anyone for him. At first he thought it was cute at how protective they were but when it started to drag on too long it made him feel a little depressed and lonely.

Stiles had wanted to know the love of a mate and have someone love him like everyone in the pack was getting to experience as the years went by. He wanted what they had, a deep bond with someone he could share the rest of his life with, but his pack was neglecting him of it. He thought maybe he would have a better chance of finding something special if he left the pack. John and Peter had been the ones that supported Stiles decision in leaving the pack those years ago.

When his father had died during a battle with a rival pack, his depression had led him into the awaiting arms of his previous alpha, Derek Hale. He loved Derek like no other, but he knew Derek wasn't in love with him and that he had only done what he had out of pity. Derek had made that clear the following morning before leaving him naked and alone. Being a defiled omega made it only much harder for him to find someone. No beta nor alpha were interested in mating—much less wanting to touch—someone else's' scraps.

"Stiles this is crazy if you wanted a kid so bad why didn't you-..." Derek had begun to ask before being cut off by Stiles, who had moved to stand from his chair and turned back to him with his own words.

"Why didn't I what Derek? Ask one of you to give me one so that later you could back off and say it was a mistake? No thanks, Derek. The reason I choose this, it's because I don't want a mate anymore. No ties with the other person helping," Stiles said as he looked at Derek with a small frown and a light shrug to his shoulders. His omega had placed that desire away deep within him.
