Chapter 83

Wiping the smugness off Jackson's face never got old and Stiles watched with delight when realization hit and the omega turned in defeat and left.

"Meet me here again in an hour." Derek said to the remaining werewolves. "You'll get an answer then."

Stiles fell in step with his mate and together they went back inside. Once he was sure that ( Read more... )

Derek didn't participate that much in their conversation, most of the time he just sat back and watched his boyfriend, he still wasn't over that one, talking animatedly with his best friend.
