Summary
Talia had told Derek that firebirds, a rare creature with roots in Slavic folklore, are only said to bring misfortune because the greed to possess one makes people do terrible and dangerous things.
Derek still wasn’t sure about the creature that had chosen to perch on a chair in their conservatory.
However, each time the firebird returned, Derek found comfort in its presence. Then, the Hale fire happened, and in his grief Derek lashed out and blamed the bird for his misfortune. The firebird never returned.
Stiles is a firebird, and his kind tend to choose one partner in their lifetime. Unfortunately, he had chosen Derek.
Now, Stiles keeps his supernatural identity hidden, not only to keep himself safe, but because it’s the closest he can get to Derek.
