Unexpected Distance

Years after finding each other and building a family together, Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale have settled into a life neither of them once believed possible. Their son, Eli, is growing up surrounded by the people who have become his family, while Stiles balances fatherhood with his work as an FBI agent. For the first time, the chaos of their past seems to have given way to something resembling stability.

But the supernatural world has a long memory, and some things that were thought to be over are never truly finished.

When circumstances force Stiles to leave Beacon Hills, the FBI provides the explanation everyone outside their inner circle can understand. To the world, he is simply an agent accepting an assignment that will keep him away from home. To Derek and the pack, however, the truth is far more complicated, and far more painful.
