PLAYER | DEREK HALE

A Promise To The Dead

So me and Derek are at his loft and it's raining which means it's the perfect time to cuddle. His arm is wrapped around my waist and I can tell he's not sleeping because his head is up. I turn my head so I'm looking up at him and he smiles then moves his hand and it gives me the shivers because I'm not wearing anything besides a large shirt, "Your hands are cold" I say and giggle into his chest

"Sorry just can't get warm as much anymore" He says and kisses my neck. I'm about to say something but then I'm cut off by the lofts alarm going off. Derek quickly turns his head and sits up.

"Get behind me" He says and I watch as he grabs his gun. I get off the bed and follow behind him but I look out the window first then watch as Derek points the gun around looking for an intruder.

I take a look at the door and see a moving shadow. Derek looks at me and I nudge my head to the door and he turns around then walks towards it. I stand beside him and he opens the door and I look outside to see Lydia drenched. "Lydia what's wrong?" I ask but she says nothing, then out of nowhere she just screams really, really loud like a banshee.

----------------------------------------

The next day I'm sitting on one end of the table as Scott passed Derek the red duffle bag with a lot of money in it but Derek passes it back. I threw up again this morning but I made sure Derek was in the shower before it happened l. I don't know how I held it in but I did, it was the hardest thing I've ever done. "Okay" Derek says and I turn to look at him

"Don't you want to know why I took so long to return it?" Scott asks

"How much do you make at the animal clinic?" Derek asks

"Minimum wage"

"That's why" Derek says and I furrow my eyebrows at him "everyone can be tempted Scott even a true alpha"

"You're not angry?" I ask

"It's not even mine, it belongs to Peter" Derek says

"Where's your money?"

"You're standing on it" Derek says and I look down at the ground

"There's another vault?" Scott asks and Derek laughs a little bit

"No I own the building and I have my own bank accounts" Derek says

"I didn't know you own this place" I say while looking around, "It's a dump though" I say and then realise I said it really loud. I look over at Derek and smile innocently, damn.

"All the money from the vault was Peter's, I think we'd actually be better off if the rest never came back" Derek bends over and closes the bag but Scott looks like he has something to say.

"I know Lydia was here last night" There it is. "Deaton's still working on figuring out what Kate did to you" Scott says "if anyone can find an answer... its him"

"What about Jay?" Derek asks and I turn my head quickly and shake it

"What about Jay?" Scott asks then looks at me with worry written on his face and I put my head down

"I think you have to tell him" Derek says and I look at Scott

"Tell me what?"

"Jailee is the one who found out about Peter being a father" Derek says

"I thought that was Lydia" Scott says and I shake my head

"It was me but Lydia was in the room when it happened... she heard it too" I say "I heard the voices off the claws as I walked closer it kept getting louder and louder"

"So what are you saying?"

"I can hear things like Lydia" I confess and Scott's eyes are wide

"How long has this been going on?"
