Chapter 2

Derek's POV

Sometimes I don't know why I do things for these stupid teenagers. I had just saved them from being killed by hunters and there isn't even a single thankyou. Rude. I realised when Scott said he had a sister I was screwed. He had a female's scent all over him and it was calming and intoxicating. An odd mixture I know. I never believed inmates until this very moment. Scott would never let me go near his sister and I'm pretty sure she is younger than him. Great.

A girl came round the corner, she was human and was absolutely beautiful. She had brown wavy hair and glasses. There were freckles scattered around her nose and under her eyes. "Isaac? What's going on?" She looked around before her eyes locked with mine. "Isaac, who is that?" He turned to look at her but her gaze never left me. "Get out of here. Go!" He shouted she seemed very taken aback by him. I think he's never shouted at her before. "I'm sorry, but you just can't be here Echo" So that's her name. "Who is that!" She asked again, looking at me. "Someone you don't need to know" She shook her head.

"I repeat this once more. WHO IS THAT?" She yelled at them. Scott turned to her. "That's Derek. He is a friend." That's a great lie Scott, great. Your heartbeat is going at a million miles per hour. She didn't believe him. Scott looked at me, "We tell her at your loft" I was about to disagree but decided not to. "Fine".

Stiles came round the corner with his keys and the rest of the pack. "Isaac, Scott, with me" They nodded and followed me to my car. "Excuse me Mr Sourwolf but my jeep cant takes every other person. Take two others" I rolled my eyes. "Fine" Echo came towards me, dragging Liam. I laughed at his reluctant face

Stiles' POV

Once Derek had driven off I turned to Lydia. "Did you see the way Derek was looking at Echo?" They nodded at me. "It was like they were fascinated with each other!" I realised I'm stuck with all the girls. "Great, I'm stuck with all the girls!" I groaned but I felt something on the roof. "You got me" Corey poked his head through the open window. "I'm on the roof. Eavesdropping on all your conversations" I laughed and the girls got in and we started towards Derek's loft.

Derek's POV

"Are you not uncomfortable being stuck with all men?" She shook her head. "My best friend is Isaac and Liam is 2nd" Her voice brims with innocence and vulnerability. Isaac smiles at her and she returns it. It was hard driving to the loft, her scent was so distracting but we made it eventually. I quickly got out of the car and opened the door to the loft. Scott pulled me to the side. "Someone close to her should tell her, Isaac maybe" I nodded. "She is just so-". "Vulnerable" I shook my head. "Beautiful" He looked at me shocked. "What?!" I walked away from him and sat down on the sofa.

"Derek, Derek, Derek." Peter said. "Getting ourselves wrapped up in a teenage girl are we?" I growled at him. "What was that?" Echo asked. Damn, she probably heard that. "Nothing" I went into the kitchen and waited for Echo to be told about the supernatural. I waited for twenty minutes. Isaac came into the kitchen and groaned. "She won't believe us, she thinks it a trick something. She wants you to prove it" I was surprised that she didn't believe him but she seemed like a nerdy sort of girl that would like sci-fi sort of stuff. I shrugged it off.

"Okay"

I left the kitchen and went over to Echo. "What did Isaac tell you?" She turned towards me. "That he is a werewolf and this world has supernatural creatures everywhere." She was pretty annoyed and frustrated. "He wasn't lying." She looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "Prove it" I turned my back to her and shifted into my black wolf. It's pretty small. I went up to her and brushed against her. She took a step back but I got closer to her and laid down.

I shifted back and grabbed some pants. "He wasn't lying" She nodded, still unsure and sat down on the couch. All I wanted to do right now is kiss her. We locked eyes and stared at eachother. I kept thinking, it would be so wrong but so right. I can't. Screw it! She is my mate anyway.I kissed her then pulled back.She was blushing like mad. "W-what was that?" She was embarrassed out of her mind. I smiled at her. "Some wolves have what we call, mates. That is short for soulmates. Two souls destined to be together and can't survive without the other soulmate, it's like their other half." She was looking at me weirdly now.

"Mates were supposed to be made for each other but, we can't be together" it was painful watching her face change from confusion to sadness. Everyone I get close always gets hurt. When I walked away from her, I felt really bad, but anyone I let get close to me, always get killed. It's not something I can control, if she got hurt, Scott would kill me and I wouldn't be able to live with myself. "I'm sorry Echo" I looked back and kissed her forehead, then left.

Echo's POV

No, this isnt how its supose to go! A tear slowly rolled down my cheek as Derek left me. "NO!" I cried. I sat on the couch for ages trying to pull myself together. I know I haven't known this guy long but I feel a weird connection to him. I heard footsteps around the room. "Isaac?" I whispered. A cold, menacing laugh came from the shadows. I really hope it was someone playing a trick but my hope diminishes at the sight of the person leaving the shadows.

"Gerard actually"

Dun dun dun!
