Chapter Text
Time flew by until their meeting with the Council.
Stiles avoided Scott at any cost, he even missed school on purpose whenever he could, so he wouldn't get to see him.
Derek didn't pressure him too much about it sensing how sad Stiles felt for drifting apart with Scott. The young werewolf on the other hand seemed completely oblivious to their new status friendship-relationship!
Until...
Until June 13 came; the date when the Moon Council arrived once again in Beacon Hills.
The three packs of the town were gathered in the forest, Stiles kept close to Derek and held discretely his hand as they approached the group of elders that were waiting for the packs to arrive.
“Alpha Hale... I see you finally have your mate with you” Sophia, a member of the council, commented smiling warmly at the couple, making Stiles blush.
“I do... And thank you. If it wasn't for the council I would never been able to act upon how I felt and get to know him... Spend time with him so thank you... We wouldn't have fallen in love nor be together today.. So thank you..” Derek answered bringing the hand of Stiles close to his lips and kissing it softly.
Scott appeared that moment hearing the words of the Alpha and roared mad.
“You cant take him. He is member of my pack.. And what the hell ? When did you guys even got together?” Scott asked curious with his eyes still flashing red.
“Well if had bothered taking to me, you would know that I have been with Derek for almost 3 months now...” Stiles spat back mad. “But you didn't care for your pack member... You don't care about your friends Scott, only about Allison and lacrosse. And because of you.. Derek got hurt, and Liam with Theo almost got themselves killed the other night. So, no Scott I'm no longer part of your pack. I don't know this side of you; this self-centred guy.. I don't want to be part of that.” Stiles said anger dripping from his voice
The whole council turned to look at Scott now.. “Alpha McCall is that true?” the older grey-haired werewolf asked.
“Derek got hurt trying to save Liam and Theo yes, but not because....” Scott tried but Stiles interfered again. “because you didn't follow the plan!!!! you were too busy texting Allison!” Stiles protested once more and was ready to attack his friend but Derek held him back.
The born werewolf knew how protective Stiles could get for the ones he cared and loved; and now Derek was part of that small group and he was so happy for that. But still, he wouldn't let Stiles get hurt trying to defend him and his friends so he pulled him closed to his chest and hugged him whispering soft words to him like “You are so brave... thank you for defending me.... us... I love you... So much Stiles...” Stiles melted into the embrace and took a deep breath trying to calm down.
The human retreated after that leaving the Alphas and Chris to speak with the council.
He waited anxious for Derek back in the house with Erica, Isaac, Cora and Boyd keeping him company. The born werewolf came home hours later looking exhausted but when he saw Stiles and realised how sad his human was, he opened his arms and the boy jumped right into him kissing him deeply. After they exchanged a few more kisses and the other werewolves left them alone, the couple claimed the couch tangled into each other, then Derek spoke.
“The council is generally satisfied with the results. How we protected the city and each other.. Despite the mishap of Scott... They want us to continue this alliance and no one has any objection about it.. So all its good.” the born werewolf said.
“Plus Scott agreed to let you go and he wanted to apologised for being such a bad friend to you lately...They are gonna mate... Scott and Allison and I was thinking.... That if you wanted... I would be honoured to have you as my mate to.. Some day.. When you are ready...If you still want me...” the werewolf said blushing and Stiles grinned before he kissed the Alpha long and deep. “The honour will be mine... If you'll have me Alpha Hale..” he whispered seductively and Derek was onto him in no time kissing every square of the human he could find. Stiles was laughing and the kissed him back tenderly.
Once they calmed down enough they were dozing off on the couch when Stiles whispered.
“Don't let me go...” the human begged.
“Never...” Derek promised and placed on the forehead of the human.
Things fell into the right place for the couple after that night.
Stiles became a full member of the Derek's pack... He forgave Scott and helped him whenever he could but kept a casual relationship with him; the once broken friendship could never be entirely healed; plus their priorities have changed. Stiles however, kept visiting Melissa along with Derek, invited her to dinners and felt blessed to have her in his life.
The human was accepted to the FBI program and like a stubborn mate denied to leave Derek's side. “What if someone steals you from me huh? I'm not taking any chances moving across the country...” Stiles teased and tried not to blush as his words weren't exactly a lie. He didn't want to leave Derek or the pack. He felt he finally had a place to belong. He also got a job in Beacons Hills Police Station as an trainee-assistance and loved it. He didn't want to leave all that behind.
So he didn't...
With Talia's help Stiles joined the online program of the FBI, and attended the courses from distance, and he became an agent after 5 years of training. He visited DC with Derek every few months for like a week to join some extra seminars and labs but the couple refused to stay apart for more than a week. Derek admitted that he also wanted Stiles close.
In the meantime, the Alpha helped protect the city and worked as an architecture on selected projects. He loved it especially since he got to spend so much time along with Stiles; he could never have enough of him!
Their mating ritual took place on the forest, during the full moon of August, on a warm night, in a private ceremony that only the two of them joined.
Derek promised under the moon to love and protect his mate and Stiles promised to love and cherish every moment that they would spend together.
Then Derek bit him on his left wrist, where a mate should be bitten, and Stiles playfully bit back making the werewolf laugh.
That night they made love and became one.... They stayed in that same tent they did that first night. Only now they were finally a couple, bonded under the Moon.
They might had an awkward start but the end was worth it.
A born werewolf Alpha and a FBI agent.
Together for a life-time...
It was the happy end they always dreamt...
❤ The end! ❤
