Like You (Derek Hale Fanfic)

All rights go to Jeff Davis and Teen Wolf. I do not own any of the original characters except my OC. Enjoy, rate, comment, and fan me!!!

Love and faith were two things Derek Hale didn't have. He didn't trust anyone and could never love again. He was a ruthless monter with a physical shift to literally match. He was cold and some would say heartless. But... I didn't see him that way. He needed someone in his life to make him change a little perspective. Maybe I could get him to trust me, but that might take years. He has a reason to hate the world, and if I were in his position, I would hate the world, too.

The Hale family was a decent group of people who lived on the outskirts of Beacon Hills. They also held a secret. Most of them were burned with a curse... Lycanthropy. I went to school with Derek and his sister, Laura. His sister was a few years older than him, and I was a few years younger than him. Derek started seeing a psychotic woman who was six years his age when he was about sixteen. I'd never seen him so in love with a person ever since I knew him. We weren't close friends, but he constantly praised about her. Her name was Kate Argent; I knew she was bad news from the start, yet he never listened.

Derek developed a sexual relationship with Kate not too long after they started seeing each other. He would be so full of life and energetic after he had seen her the night before. Laura tried telling Derek that Kate was no good for him and he'd end up regretting ever being with her. He never listened to the warnings his sister was spitting out, and, boy did he regret it.

Kate had a deep dark secret that she held from Derek extremely well; She hunted his kind. That bitch stood him up, burned down his house with his family inside. She mocked Derek, saying he was now alone. But Derek had one family member left... Laura. He adored Laura and she was his anchor. When they moved back from the few years in New York to get away from it all, Derek changed. He was... scary almost. He had finished high school, but never went to college. Yet, when he came back... All the women wanted him... But he wanted nothing to do with them. He lived alone. He trained alone. And by God, he was going to die alone. "Trust no one," he'd always say as he passed by me in the woods... Somewhere I shouldn't have been.

Derek had became agressive. He'd punch things... I was there to witness it. The last straw was when Laura was murdered. She had been cut in half by the same woman who killed his family, Kate. My passion of hate for her had grown stronger. My rage slipped before Kate's final battle as an Alpha ripped through her throat, sending blood everywhere. She got what she had deserved.

I never knew Derek was Alpha until a few months ago when I was trekking through the woods. He was training again... with a new wolf pack. He still was a grouch and a sourwolf, but I had one goal: Make Derek Hale smile again. And I wasn't going to let anyone get in my way.
