Big Bad Wolf Book 1

Chapter 15

Warning: Slight mature content

"Auntie." I called, poking my head round her hospital room door.
She turned her head in my direction and smiled, motioning me in. I slipped into the room and shut the door behind me.
"My baby girl's finally eighteen!" she smiled, hugging me tightly.
"Sorry I haven't visited in a while. It's been kinda busy."
"Don't worry about it, you're here now." She said, kissing my forehead. "How have you been?" she asked as we sat on her bed.
"I could have been better. I got shot twice, most likely by Kate." I replied.
"You got shot?! Honey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, Derek got me to Dr Deaton and he patched me up."
"How did it happen?" she asked, concerned.
"Hunters started shooting at Derek's house and I caught two stray bullets in my hip while Scott got one in the ribs." I explained.
We talked for a little longer before a nurse came in. I frowned slightly as I hadn't seen her here before.
"Can I help you?" my aunt asked.
I casually got up and grabbed an empty food tray as the nurse stepped closer. I made it look like I was about to leave the room before slamming the metal tray down onto the back of her head. He stumbled and I grabbed her hair, hitting her face against the wall until I knocked her out.
"Stephanie Burchell!" my aunt gasped.
"She's a werewolf." I whispered. "Fuck." I stated as I noticed Peter Hale standing in the doorway.
"Now I know why my nephew took an interest in you." He remarked, eyebrows raised. I stepped I front of my aunt and slipped my phone to her.
"Why are you here?"
"I think you know why." He replied, stepping forward. I stood my ground. "You're stronger than I thought you were." He mused. "And he still hasn't claimed you yet. I could take you myself, I would enjoy breaking you."
"Over my dead body." I stated.
"Shame. Such a waste." He sighed.
I grabbed hold of my aunt's hand and darted under Peter's arms as he lunged forward. I scooped up a full syringe from the table before running out the room, towing my aunt behind me.
"Keep running!" I pushed her in front before turning back round to face the Alpha.
He collided with me and I managed to plunge the needle in him, emptying the whole syringe. He roared and shoved me away, making me fall flat on my back on the floor before running away.
I was breathing heavily when I heard fast footsteps coming up behind me. Derek's face appeared in my line of vision and I relaxed slightly.
"Are you okay?" he asked, cupping my face in his large hands.
I nodded and held onto his arms to help me sit myself up. I saw his shoulders relax a little and he smoothed my hair off my face.
"I can't leave you alone for five minutes without you getting in trouble." He sighed, pulling me to my feet.
"No." I protested.
"Yes." He stated, poking my nose as a smile tugged at his lips. I grabbed the front of his shirt and pouted up at him.
He chuckled and I huffed before he laced our fingers with mine and made our way to the reception. I spotted my aunt and pulled Derek over to her with me. She handed me my phone back.
"They're moving me into the care home next door." She smiled. "I'm not going to be stuck in here anymore."
"Good." I smiled, feeling Derek's fingers tighten around mine.
"Stay safe you two." My aunt said, hugging me. "And you, get down here." Derek leant down and she kissed his cheek. "Keep her safe."
"You don't have to worry about that." Derek said. "She's not leaving my sight now." He smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and he patted my butt when my aunt wasn't looking.
I bumped my hip into his thigh and he chuckled. My aunt left to get ready to move while Derek and I exited the hospital.
"How did you get them away from you?" he asked as we got in his car.
"I knocked the nurse out by hitting her with a tray before making her head-butt the wall until she passed out and I injected your uncle with a syringe I found on a table." I replied as he drove to his house. He snorted slightly and I punched him in the arm. "I had to improvise okay? I'm not a wolf like you." I defended.
He chuckled and I went to hit him again, but he caught hold of my hand. He brought it up to his face and pressed kisses to my palm and knuckles.
I sighed and slumped back in the seat, shutting my eyes. I let out a small yawn before I felt the car stop. I opened my eyes again and saw we were at Derek's house. I jumped out his car and ran into his house. I went into his room and threw myself front first onto his bed.
I jumped when I felt a large body over mine. I turned my head to look behind me and was met with Derek's lips on my own. I reached my arm back and buried my fingers in his hair as his body gently pressed down onto mine.
I felt his hand slide down to my hip and made me lift them slightly as his hand moved onto my abdomen. His lips became more frantic against mine and I managed to twist underneath him so I was facing him properly. I wrapped my legs around his waist, making his hips fall onto mine. He broke the kiss and tried to shy away from me, but I clung tightly onto him.
"Please." I whispered, staring up into his pale green eyes.
"I don't want to hurt you." He said quietly, resting his forehead on mine.
"Derek, you won't. I trust you."
His lips ghosted over mine as his hands slid under my shirt, slowly pulling it over my head. I tugged on his and he quickly pulled it off. He braced his arms either side of my head and gazed down at me intently.
"Are you completely sure? Don't feel forced, we can stop and wait." He said gently.
I ran my fingers through his hair and leant up to attach my lips to his. He kissed me slowly and his touch on me was gentle.
"Relax sweetheart." Derek whispered, kissing my ear. "It'll be easier."
I slowly untensed myself and then felt a sudden sharp pain, making me cry out and try to pull away. Derek's large arms encircled me and held me close to him, his bare skin warm on my own.
"I'm sorry." He apologised.
I whimpered slightly and opened my eyes again, unaware that I'd closed them. Derek looked down at me in worry and I shifted slightly beneath him, making him inhale sharply and myself wince.
"Don't move." He groaned.

Derek's P.O.V.
After a minute I was able to collect myself again. The mate claiming was stronger than I thought it was going to be. I released the breath I was holding and saw Steph was looking up at me, her red hair splayed across my pillow.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly.
"I should be asking you that." I remarked. She smiled and I felt her small hands grip my shoulders.
"I'm good. You think you can start moving now?" she teased. I scowled playfully before dipping my head down and latching my teeth onto her shoulder, making her squeal.
***************************************************************************
A smug smile lifted my lips as I heard Steph's heavy breathing from beside me. I turned onto my side so I was facing her and propped myself up on my elbow.
I watched her as she managed to calm her breathing before twisting to face me. I curled my other arm around her back and pulled her close to me so she was pressed up against my chest. Her blue eyes looked up at me and I moved an arm to wrap behind her head so she was resting on it.
"You okay?" I asked. She nodded, her eyelids drooping a little. "Worn out?" I teased.
She laughed lightly and pushed me so I was on my back before lying on my chest.
"Yes, the wolf in you wore me out." She smiled. I chuckled and wrapped my arms around her.
"Well, the wolf in me is begging for a second round with his mate." I grinned cheekily. She giggled and buried her face in my chest.
"Perhaps it'll wake me up." She said, lifting her head to look at me.
My inner wolf howled in triumph and I grinned, rolling so I was on top of her. She laughed as a possessive growl rumbled through my chest.
"Excited?" she joked, giggling.
"Very." I growled, smirking.
