Summary
Since they returned, Derek's sense of alertness is in overdrive, so it doesn't escape his notice when someone is staring at him. He exhales softly and instantly grows claws at the prickling sensation in the back of his head. Turns around ever so slowly, listens for heartbeats, scans the tranquil forest scenery for trespassers. There's no one. No hunter hiding behind the bushes, no steady heartbeat that betrays a human with ill intentions.
But there is a very small rhythm, a steady drumming high above him.
Derek looks up, and there he finds it: a black bird on the branch of an oak tree, eyes trained on him. It's a good deal too large to be a crow, but with its glossy dark feathers and shiny beak it's easy to mistake for one. As a werewolf, Derek considers himself to be on the top of the food chain; an apex predator that triggers terror in every lesser creature. There's something unsettling about the probing eye contact. He's not used to animals staring back at him that brazenly.
“Fuck off,” Derek grumbles and makes little shooing motions.
“Caw,” the raven says. It looks unimpressed.

Bookmark Notes:
Even though this left me wanting more, what is there is complete enough to enjoy! The author actually deleted the second chapter to avoid cliffhangers- the first chapter stands alone as a one-shot.
