Chapter Text

For a moment, Derek did what he had promised himself not to ever since the fire.…

He froze.

The kiss, Stiles momentary happiness and excitement and with all the adrenaline pumping through his veins he didn’t thought... He acted…

He kissed Stiles back with no regret; without thinking of the consequences.

He wanted this for so long and when it happened he just gave in; he placed within the kiss everything he had in store for the boy. Stiles, was made for him and his wolf, and that kiss was the solid confirmation.

But why did Stiles kissed him and ran away afterwards was not something that Derek understood.

Was it a bad kiss?

Maybe Stiles was expecting something different and got disappointed?

The wolf inside Derek was whining miserable.

And yet at the same time the beast urged Derek to claim Stiles, look for him, demanding his presence and his touch.

Lydia and her yelling brought the Alpha back to reality.

“Look for Stiles outside” he ordered his pack “and make sure that Trevor is gone…” he said before he disappeared deeper into the store looking for Stiles himself.

He heard the familiar heart of the human coming from the bathroom.

However Stiles was not alone…. There was another heartbeat inside with him.

Stiles heart betrayed he was scared.

Derek barged inside the bathroom finding his mate pined against the wall a few feet above the ground, with tears in his eyes while another Alpha was close to his neck whispering filthy thing to his ear; that Stiles was gonna be his, his bitch that he was going to fuck him again and again till the human learned his placed and succumbed into him.

Derek lost it.

He pushed away the other werewolf from Stiles, who fell into the floor uncoordinated, as the born werewolf was punching Trevor with no mercy.

He broke the other man’s bones again and again and roared angrily demanding to leave Stiles alone. The younger Alpha was no match for Derek and his wrath.

Scott and Isaac showed up and after checking with Stiles they tried to remove Derek from Trevor; he had him pinned on the floor punching him hard and with no mercy.

The two betas however, were unable to stop him; Stiles knew what he had to do.

He walked carefully and placed his hand on the back of the Alpha and with as much calm voice he could master he whispered…

“Der…That’s enough… It’s over Alpha… He is down… Im ok..” the human whispered and the werewolf turned to look at him, stilling his movements to actually check Stiles that he was indeed alright.

“You leave this town right now! And if you dare to even lay your eyes upon MY MATE,..” Derek growled “your pack won’t have an Alpha anymore…” the born Alpha said between his lethal fangs and got up with Stiles falling into his arms relieved.

Derek held him morphing back to his human side and picking Stiles up leading him outside with his betas following him.

Derek put his human on the passenger seat of the Camaro while the rest of the pack was waiting for them stilled at their place.

“Make sure he is leaving town tonight… Im taking him home… Isaac and Scoot can follow us back if they want… Thank you all for tonight…” the Alpha said before he got inside his car with his betas following with Scott’s bike.

Derek took a deep breath and then turned to look at the human, who look exhausted and was shaking like a leaf.

“You ok?” the Alpha asked placing his hand above Stiles’ who laced their fingers together. The human was also freezing; probably from the shock.

Derek game him his leather jacket that the boy welcomed as a safe blanket surrounding him.

“Just take us home…” Stiles whispered squeezing softly the hand of the werewolf letting go so he can drive.

The ride was silent and Derek denied letting him walk upstairs to the loft.

Once inside, he placed the human in the couch and folded him with his favourite blanket that happened to smell like the Alpha and helped him out of his shoes.

The betas were by his side as Derek went to make some tea for all of them.

Until the water was boiled Derek took a moment to breathe and calm down.

His wolf was satisfied for protecting his mate, even on the last minute and all he wanted now was to cover him with his scent and keep him warm and safe.

Stiles would be safe…

Lost in his own thoughts he didn’t hear Stiles coming for him in the kitchen standing in the doorframe watching him as he made the tea.

“What are you doing up?” Derek asked softly.

“Isaac and Scott left… I sent them away… Can we talk?” the human asked.

“Of course…” Derek nodded and walked towards the human with two mugs of hot tea.

Stiles headed to the Alpha’s bedroom and sat on his bed making grabby hands for his mug.

Derek placed them on the small nightstand and sat next to the human folding his legs and waiting for the human to begin.

“Im sorry… For kissing you…. I got excited with the strike thing and I reacted without thinking… I don’t want for things to be awkward between us… Im sorry.. I shouldn’t have… Kissed you…” Stiles said avoiding looking the eyes of the  werewolf across him and Derek had to shake his head and said..

“What?”

The human huffed and looked at the eyes of the born wolf with pleading eyes. “Please don’t make me repeat that.. Please forgive me… It won’t happen again…” Stiles told him silently and Derek moved to get close to him taking him in his arms and whispered.

“Kissing you was a privilege. Offering me, of all people, your first kiss.. Was on honour Stiles… Please don’t apologise for anything.. You did nothing wrong pup…” Derek bit his down lip hard after the last word, but that seemed to change the mood of the human who blushed at the name.

Derek held him tighter and Stiles circled his arms around the other man’s torso feeling safe.

“Thank you for tonight… If you haven’t come on time.. He…” Stiles said and then got silent…

“I told you I would protect you… No matter what… I would have killed him if you haven’t stopped me. No one threatens what’s mine..” Derek growled the last part sparkling hope in the heart of the human.

“And Im yours Alpha?” Stiles whispered the question forcing the wolf inside Derek come into the surface and nuzzle softly the human’s neck saying with a growly voice.. “In a way… You always have been… But I would never bite you… Never make you mine like this… The mate bite is a gift that the human offers to the wolf. NO wolf should take it by force. Seen him holding you like this… I snapped…” Derek growled and Stiles leaned for another kiss near the werewolf’s lips.

“I wanna be yours… Wanted to be yours right from the start… When I saw you for the first time… I just knew you would be it for me… You are the one for me Der… And if you don’t want me that’s ok too… But I can’t stop loving you like I could not stop falling for you… It was futile fight denying what I feel about you…” the human closed his eyes making himself as small as possible in the arms of the bigger man.

Derek huffed, coming into an unimaginable conclusion.

He would tell Stiles the truth about how his feelings…

“I love you too my little pup… Trying not to love you… Only made me love you more. You’re a constant light to my life… You pulled me back every time I thought it was impossible. You are pure good Stiles… And I don’t deserve you… No one ever will… “ The werewolf said.

“But I want to be with you…” Stiles protested and Derek smiled caressing softly the cheek of the human.

“Of course you want… You were born to be mine… But I wanted to protect you Stiles from all this… I wanted you to be free and safe and I failed you..” Derek answered bitterly.

“No you didn’t as long as I have you.. I won…” Stiles said and leaned in for another sweet kiss.

“What do you say… You want to be also my first make out? Mmmm my first boyfriend… My first and only Alpha…?” Stiles said teasingly knowing the effect that the word always had to the born werewolf…

Derek smiled all bunny teeth and nodded. “I do…”

“Then shut up and kiss your mate Derek Hale…” Stiles ordered and Derek growled playfully obeying.

That night Stiles and Derek became official..

Trevor never came back.

And Stiles was safe… In the arms of his one and only…

The end
