My Mate || Derek Hale

Ice Pick

"Jess, where are you?" Scott questioned as Jess answered her phone

"I'm at my locker, why?" 

"Meet me out front NOW!" Scott proceeded to hang up as he followed Erica out to the front. Jess arrived just in time to see the beta running out the door so she followed. She stood there in shock as Erica climbed into Derek's car as he sat there smirking at Scott. 

"What the hell?" Jess muttered. She knew Derek needed a pack but thought that he would at least talk to her about who he turns. Derek drove away leaving a stunned Scott and Jess standing at the top of the steps outside the school. "Do you think-"

"They're not together. I'd be able to smell it and you'd probably feel it. What's he up to, Jess?"

"He needs to build a pack. People take notice of new alphas."

"Who does?"

"Important people."

"Are you and Deaton ever gonna tell me what you know?"

"It's not important because it's not an issue right now."

"Jess-"

"I'm not in the mood for an interrogation, Scott." She stated before turning around, reaching for the door handle.

"Wait! We're going to the ice rink after school. Do you wanna join us?"

"Maybe some other time."

"If you change your mind you'll know where we'll be."

                                                                                              ~~~~~~

Jess was at her house reading through some books Deaton gave her about magic when her phone started buzzing. "What?"

"Little frosty but fair. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Erica." Her boyfriend spoke.

"I assumed you'd at least tell me beforehand rather than having to find out from Scott and then see you two drive off together."

"I swear I was planning on it but it just happened. There's something I do need to tell you though."

"Who did you bite?"

"I've not bitten him yet but I've found someone else to bite in." 

"Who, Derek?" She asked frustrated. 

"Can we talk in person?"

"You're coming here."

"I'm already outside. By the way I can feel your anger."

"Good for you, Hale." She grumbled, hanging up and stomping over to the front door. She opened it then went to walk back to the couch but a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. "Derek!" 

"Please don't be mad at me." He whispered in her ear. Somehow his arms wrapped around her did calm her but she wanted to mess with him a bit so she grabbed his arm when he loosened his grip and pulled him over her shoulder, crouching slightly so she'd succeed. "Okay, I deserved that. Happy now?"

"Happier." She answered laughing as he got up from the floor, taking her hand and walking over to the couch.

"Boyd."

"Hm?"

"He's this guy in Scott's grade. He doesn't seem to have many friends but he's a good kid."

"And you're sure about him being your newest beta?"

"Yeah I am. Do you not agree?"

"I don't know him well enough. So... Erica?" She asked while looking down at her hands in her lap, playing with her nails.
