4 months later
It's been a long summer. I've been hanging out with Derek and Issac far too often. Any lead off of my dad about the whereabouts of Erica ans Boyd, I tell Derek straight away.
Derek has also been worried about my health, he acts worse than my dad. He tries to get me out of the house everyday for long walks. Honestly, it's stupid. I'm a very healthy person, I just don't get out that often.
I also brought a coffee shop over the summer, which was very well hectic and kept me quite busy.
Me and Derek headed into our coffee shop. Well it wasn't our coffee shop but we always come here. It's the place we get coffee for each other from and it's where we met when I came back to town, after the time in my house.
As Derek opened the door for me I noticed something on the door. A sign saying it was closing down.
I turn to Derek with a sad pout. "They can't close this place down. It's our place. Where else are we gonna go?" I ask and he just looks down at me confused.
"It's a coffee shop Ni, there are plenty more." He says and I groan. "We have to save it. It's our place. This is out thing." I say and he chuckles. "How do you expect we do that?" He asks and I shrug. "Buy it or something." I say and he laughs again.
Derek was so shocked when he found out I actually brought it. He never thought I'd actually do it. But I have a degree in business, there isn't loads I can do. I have this coffee shop now for Derek and I. I have good income and im happy.
Today is Stiles first day back at school for his junior year.
I had woken beside Derek, in my bed. I know my dad isn't going into work too early as it's Stiles first day back to school.
I head downstairs quickly and make Stiles his lunch and make breakfast. I just decided to use the blueberry muffins I made last night for breakfast.
I made some coffee and went upstairs to find dad and Stiles.
Dad was stood outside Stiles room so I handed him his coffee. "Stiles your breakfast is on the table." I say and he nods whilst typing away on his laptop.
"Do you know how many vehicle collisions last year involved deer? 247,000." Stiles says and I turn to dad confused.
"Oh, god. Please go to school." Dad says and I scoff. "But that's crossing the road. This one last night came right down the middle." Stiles says and I lean against the door frame.
"I'm not gonna beg you." Dad says moving into the room. "Okay, good. I'm impervious to your influence anyway." Stiles says and dad turns to me and I just shrug at him.
"Would you consider a bribe?" Dad asks Stiles. "You couldn't meet my price." Stiles says not taking his eyes off of his laptop.
"Extortion?" Dad asks. "You got nothing on me." Stiles says and I just look inbetween them both. "Yeah." Dad says before pulling Stiles chair away from his desk and ignoring Stiles pleas.
"Breakfast is on the table." I repeat to Stiles who was now lying on the floor. Me and dad laugh before walking away.
Dad leaves for work shortly after that. Once dad leaves, Derek comes downstairs. "Ugh." Stiles groans whilst grabbing a muffin and his bag. "Bye." He says to me before rushing out the door.
I leave Derek to eat breakfast before rushing upstairs to have a shower. Once I get out of the shower, I leave time for Derek to go in.
I put on some blue denim high waisted shorts and then a pale pink sweatshirt.
After drying and straightening my hair I notice a phone ringing. I pick Derek's phone off of the night stand.
"Hello?" I answer. "Nia?" Melissa's voice calls out. "Are you with Derek?" She asks and I nod although she can't see me. "Yeah, he's just ran off to do something." I lie and she sighs.
"He needs to come and get Issac." Melissa says and I furrow my eyebrows. "Is everything alright?" I ask and she sighs. "He got into an accident last night, he's scheduled for surgery but he's healing." Melissa says and I nod. "I'll be there as quick as I can." I say before ending the call.
I bang on the bathroom door, till Derek opens with a towel lying loose on his waist. "Can I help you?" He asks and I nod. "Uh, yeah! Issac's in hospital, we need to go get him." I say and Derek nods.
I quickly do my makeup before grabbing my keys and ushering Derek out the door. I lock up and drive us to the hospital.
"Stay here." Derek says and my eyes widen. "What? No. I need to see if Issac's okay." I say and Derek sighs.
"There's werewolves in there, more than Issac and Scott. Just stay here. Plus, we're gonna need a getaway car." Derek says and I groan.
The more I say in the car, the more I grew worried for Derek. I had no clue who was inside. What if the Alpha's had come for him?
When Scott and Derek rushed out of the hospital with Issac in a wheelchair I instantly felt relieved. Derek puts Issac in the back of my car and then Scott climbs in the back as well.
"Was it them?" I ask Derek who just nods in respone. "Who?" Scott asks and Derek just rolls his eyes and we decide to ignore him.
"Where am I going?" I ask pulling out of the hospital parking lot. "My old place." Derek says and I nod. I'm so happy he has the loft now.
I pull up right outside the old Hale house and follow Derek (who was carrying Issac) in. Scott then followed behind me whilst on the phone to Stiles.
Derek puts Issac on a table and I go to Issac's side and hold his hand.
"You don't still live here do you?" Scott asks as Derek digs through some stuff. "No. The county took it over, but there's something here that I need." Derek says and I glance over to him.
"It'll help heal a wound from an Alpha." Derek says. "Yeah, but it did heal." Scott says and Derek glances over to me and Issac then back to Scott. "Not on the inside." Derek says before continuing to dig through some stuff.
"Hey, are you gonna tell me who that was back there?" Scott asks and I look over to Derek. "That Alpha." Scott adds.
"A rival pack. It's my problem. I know you wanna help, and you did. I owe you one. Now go home. Go back to being a teenager." Derek says before walking over to me and Issac and placing some things on the table.
"Is this wolfsbane?" I ask picking up a purple plant. "Yes." Derek says taking the plant from my hand and putting it down on the table.
"Don't be a sourwolf der' bear." I say and he groans. "I hate it when you call me that." He says and I smile and pick up the flower again to examine it.
"Hey Derek." Scott says and we both turn to him. "If you wanna repay back that favour now, there is something you can do for me." Scott says whilst clutching his arm.
Scott tells Derek all about his tattoo whilst I stay with Issac. "I should've known I'd see you here." Stiles says and I shrug. "Gotta look out for my friends." I say gesturing to Issac.
Derek gets a chair for Scott to sit on and starts examining his arm where his tattoo apparently was. I just watched from a far, hoping that Issac was okay.
"What does it mean?" I hear Derek ask Scott. "I don't know." He answers honestly. "It's just something I traced with my fingers." Scott adds.
"Why is this so important to you?" Derek asks and I pray Scott doesn't answer in some really emotional way that will make me wanna throw up. No offence to him.
"Do you know what the word 'tattoo' means?" Scott asks. "To mark something." Stiles adds smugly before winking at Derek which makes me laugh.
"Well, that's in Tahitian. In Samoan it means 'open wound'. I knew I wanted to get a tattoo when I turned 18. I always wanted one. I just decided to get it now, to make it kind of a reward." Scott says and me and Derek exchange confused looks.
"For what?" Derek asks looking down at Scott. "For not calling or texting Allison all summer. Even when I really wanted to, even when it was so hard not to sometimes. I was trying to give her the space she wants. Going four months later, it still hurts. It still feels like a..."
"Like an open wound." Stiles finishes for Scott. "Yeah." Scott says before looking down.
Derek grabs his blow tourch and turns to Scott. "Tha pain is gonna be worse than anything you've ever felt." Derek says and I cringd. "Ah, that's great." Stiles says also just as disgusted.
"Do it." Scott encourages. Derek lights the blow tourch and my eyes widen. "Oh, wow. That's a lot for me. I'm gonna take that as my cue. Im just gonna wait outside." Stiles says and I nod.
"Nope." Derek says grabbing him and then looking at me. "Both of you can help hold him down." Derek says and I shake my head no until he glares and me and pushes Stiles to Scott's side.
I end up coming to Scott's side and looking at Derek confused. "You do realise we're human. He's a werewolf. What if he like hurts us." I say and Derek rolls his eyes. "He won't." Derek says and I groan.
Scott's screams in pain was possibly the worse thing I heard. I was so thankfuk when he passed out.
I made my way back to Issac, to check if he had woken up yet. He hadn't.
Scott woke up shortly after Derek had finished all sweaty and disgusting. "It worked." He says and I sigh before focusing back to Issac as Scott and Stiles leave.
"How long until he wakes up?" I ask Derek and he shrugs. "Hopefully soon." He says and I sigh.
"You painted the door." Scott says and I glance over to Derek. "Why'd you paint the door?" He asks whilst being skeptical which us annoying because it's just painting the door.
"Go home, Scott." Derek says as we make our way to look at him. "Why only one side?" He asks whilst examining the door.
"Why the fuck is he so skeptical. You should be allowed to paint the door, if you want to paint the door." I whisper to Derek who agrees with me.
We watch Scott flick out his claws and start clawing the door. "Scott!" Derek says heading over to him.
"God, did no one teach you manners. That's rude, you can't peal off someone's paint." I say to Scott who just ignores me.
Once the pack sign was revealed I sighed and turnt to Derek.
"The birds at school and the deer last night, just like the night I got trampled by the deer. When I got bit by the alpha." Scott says and I sigh.
"How many are there?" Scott asks. "A pack of them." Derek says and my eyes widen, I didn't expect Derek to tell him. "An alpha pack." Derek says and I sigh.
"All of them? How does that even work?" Stiles asks. "I hear there's some kind of a leader. He's called Deucalion. We know they have Boyd and Erica." Derek says glancing at me.
"Woah wait!" Stiles says and I sigh. "You knew and didn't tell me?" Stiles asks annoyed. "Yeah." I say and he groans. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asks growing more agitated. "Not now, later." I say to him and he nods.
"Peter, Issac and I have been looking for them for the last four months. Nia helps with what she can, like any leads from the sheriff." Derek says and I smile proudly.
"Let's say you find them. How do you deal with an Alpha pack?" Scott asks and I look up at Derek curiously. "With all the help I can get." Derek says looking between Scott and Stiles.
"Where is she?" Issac asks and I jump in shock. "Where's the girl?" He asks before I rush over to him. "What girl?" Derek asks and I ignore him.
"How are you feeling? What happened? Are you okay?" I bombard him with questions.
"I'm okay Nia, remember I'm a werewolf." He says and I nod. "I know, but I just, I was worried for you." I say before Derek comes to our side.
"What girl?" He repeats. "The girl that saved me." Issac says and me and Derek exchange worried looks.
"Boys, go home." I tell Scott and Stiles. "Stiles, you need to get ready for Heather's birthday party." I say and Stiles nods. "Let's go." He says to Scott before they both leave.
Issac tells us all about his accident, well what he can remember of it anyway.
"Come on, let me take you guys home." I say helping Issac up. "Nia, im fine." Issac says and I roll my eyes.
I drive Issac and Derek back to the loft and follow them inside.
"Im just happy that I missed the first day of school." Issac says as we head into the loft. "Yeah, but you're going tomorrow." I say and he groans. "Sure." He says before giving me a side hug and rushing off.
I sit down with Derek and put my legs on him, earning a glare from him. "Oh, loosen up." I say getting comfortable on the sofa.
"Thanks for not telling Stiles." Derek says and I nod. "It's fine, it's kind of like payback for keeping the supernatural from me." I say before getting out my phone and texting Emily back.
"Is Issac gonna be okay?" I ask Derek and he nods. "Yeah, he's healed and everything. Doesn't stop him from being angry." Derek says and I scoff. "No, of course not."
I sat with Derek for a while, just talking till I decided to head home.
When I got home, I started on dinner immediately. Stiles, was at a party and dad was at work. After eating my food and cleaning up, I went to my room.
I cleaned my room, facetimed Emily and got ready for bed.
I sat on my bed, watching friends on my laptop in the dark with my window ajar and drinking a bottle of wine that I had recently brought.
When the window slid open I jumpef and turnt to see Derek sat on the window frame. "It's only me." He says and I take a breath of relief.
"I can't stay long, just thought I'd come and say night." Derek says as I climb out of bed and make my way over to the window. "You could've text." I say and he nods. "True." He says and I smile.
"Is Issac alright?" I ask and he nods. "Yeah." He says and I yawn. "You should go to bed." Derek tells me and I shrug.
"Or I could do this." I say before leaning in to kiss him. At my surprise, he kissed me back. It was only when I started to tug at the hem of his top when he pulled away.
"Your drunk." Derek says and I groan. "Yeah and?" I ask sitting on my bed. "How drunk are you?" He asks slowly coming away from the window. "Drunk enough to be confident enough to make the first move but not drunk enough to forget it tomorrow morning." I say and Derek shurgs. "Works for me." He says before leaning down to kiss me again.
I brought Derek into bed with me where we continued to make out. Derek was the first to take his shirt off before he took my sweatshirt off.
When we were completely in our underwear I looked down at Derek's body, which was hovering over mine.
"What?" Derek asks after he pulls away from my neck. "You have a nicer body then I thought." I say which clearly boosts Derek's ego.
It didn't take long till I was naked under DereÄ·. "I don't have a condom." He says and I shrug. "Just pull out. But please don't get me pregnant." I say and he chuckles.
