I'm My Teachers Mate, Wait... What? (Derek Hale Love Story)

Chapter 2: Mate

                                         Hayden's POV

Lydia and I walked into the classroom, took seats at the back of the class room, and waited for the mysterious Mr. Derek Hale to come into the room. While waiting for him, I looked at Lydia.

“So this teacher is a werewolf that is in Scotts pack?”

“Yeah, he used to be an alpha, but he saved his sister. Who is now somewhere in South America. He is an uptight, rude, and very private person, but other than that he is an okay guy.”

I started laughing and as I was still laughing someone walked in. As I looked up to see who it was I caught their eye and the world stop. Then they said the one word I have been afraid of my whole life.

“MATE!!!”

I sat there frozen. I was glad Lydia and I were the only ones in class so far. Finally I started to feel a panic attack come on. Unfortunately, the panic attack was so far that when I tried to open up my medicine I couldn’t and ended up blacking out. The last thing I saw before I completely blacked out was Derek Hale rushing overlooking panicked and concerned.

I woke up not realizing where I was or remembering what happened. As I sat up on the bed I realized I was in the hospital and as I looked around I saw mom with Travis in her lap, Stiles, Sheriff Stilinski, Lydia, and to my surprise Derek. All of them looked as though they were sleeping and when I looked at the clock I figured out why, it was 2 o’clock in the morning. I hated being in hospitals, so I decided I was going to get out of bed, wake everyone up, and leave. What I didn’t plan was that when I started to stand up someone gently pushed me back down. When I looked to see who it was, I saw Derek.

“Don’t get up.”

“Why not?” I asked him frustrated.

“Because you’ve been passed out for nearly 11 hours, the doctor needs to check you out to make sure you are okay.”

“I don’t care I want to leave.”

“I don’t care that you want to leave, I need to make sure that you are okay,” he said with frustration and concern lacing his voice.

“Why, why do care so much?”

“Because you are my mate.”

“Yeah, I got that much.”

“What are you so afraid of?” Derek asked feeling exasperated.

“I’m afraid of being hurt by you just like everyone else has hurt me except for my mom and brother.”

“WHAT WHO HURT YOU?” he asked sounding extremely angry.

“Be quiet you will wake everybody else up.”

“Look can you just give me a chance please!!!! Go out to coffee with me or just take a walk with me.”

“Okay, I’ll give you a chance. You are my mate and I do feel a connection to you.”

“YES!! Thank you!”

As I laugh I manage to get out “Shhh!! You’re going to wake somebody up for real.”

He laughs too and it’s sounds so amazing and sweet sounding, “Yeah, sorry!”

As we stayed up talking for the rest of the night, I started to feel like I could trust him, but what I wasn’t sure of was if I could trust what my heart was telling me.
