Stiles jumped at Derek’s voice. He’d been lost in his own thoughts. He wasn’t expecting Derek to be home. “Uh… yeah… yeah, I’m fine… just… long day,” he answered, dragging a hand through his hair. “I’m… I’m gonna go shower…”

There’d been someone new at the school and Stiles didn’t feel comfortable at all with the guy’s leering looks or finding any excuse to get too close to him. He was… different. Stiles’ magic had not liked him at all and Stiles had gotten to the point that he listened to that spark inside of himself, as both Deaton and Peter had often told him to do.

He didn’t want to worry Derek, though, with Peter out of town on business, Derek was the one in charge…

Derek didn’t need to be an alpha to hear and scent the offness of his younger mate. He tilted his head, getting up to walk over to Stiles. “Hey, what happened?” he asked. “And don’t lie, you know I can tell when you lie, even if I couldn’t hear your heartbeat.” he replied, reaching to run a hand through Stiles’ hair.

Stiles nodded slowly and pulled back slowly, leaning up to kiss Chris softly. “Then for now, let’s get dressed and go see Derek. I hate to see him go back to Canada but once we’re settled in France, maybe he’ll come visit. He needs family. He needs us. I just…. I’m going to worry about him.”

Chris listened and gave a sigh as he nodded, moving to sit up more so they could get dressed. The three of them were the last ones who cared for Peter and the thought of watching Derek leave again hurt, but he knew the other didn’t want to stay where there was nothing left. Chris didn’t want to stay, either, if he was honest. He’d finally been happy, having Peter and Stiles with him, and their time had been cut short and he hated that now he and Stiles had to go on without Peter being there with them. But he’d made a promise to never let Stiles be alone again, and he meant it. “Naturally, he’s welcome.

“Derek wants to meet us at the estate before he leaves back for Canada. I told him we’d be there tonight. We could probably leave tomorrow or the next day. You have to do something with the apartment here… the loft’s already been closed up.”

“I suppose we should start that way, then.” Chris didn’t want to think about Peter’s loft. He and Stiles had let Derek go through first, but the young wolf had barely taken more than a few old books and a few records. He sighed a little, knowing that the loft would never be sold even if they’d taken just about everything but the big furniture. “The apartment can be sold. Furniture isn’t a big deal, the manor in France has plenty. We just need to pack up everything else.” he replied. “I can make arrangements for us to leave the day after tomorrow. That way we can pack tonight and tomorrow.”

“We could go to France,” he suggested. “It’s where you went before. You have a house there and all. I wouldn’t mind going there and then maybe seeing more of Europe before I figure out what to do…” Peter had left everything to Stiles and Chris. They really had no need for anything. Stiles didn’t have to work, but he would find something to do in France if that’s where they decided to stay. He didn’t care, so long as he had Chris with him.

“France is good. The manor is in the countryside.” Chris replied. “We could travel a while, let you see the world.” he offered, giving a sad smile. “When do you want to leave?”

Derek nodded, framing Peter’s face and kissing him softly, hearing the water stop in the bathroom. “He’s done. I’m going to check on him. You get changed, hm?” He stepped back and walked over to the bathroom, gently knocking on the door before stepping inside as Stiles was drying off. The younger man looked up at Derek as he dried off and then pulled on the pants and t-shirt before walking over and just leaning in against Derek’s chest, arms loose around his mate.

Peter nodded and watched Derek go, changing and moving to add a few more pillows and moved to put on some quiet music. Once he was certain everything was ready, he moved to check on his mates, sliding an arm around Derek to rest on Stiles’ side. “Felling any better, my love?” he asked quietly, resting his chin on Derek’s shoulder as they held Stiles.

Derek nodded slowly. “All right,” he answered, moving to help Peter with the bed and then wrapping his arms around him from behind, resting his chin on the other’s shoulder. “We have to be strong for Stiles, which means, we can not go back home and try to take out anything on Scott. The less we have to deal with him, the better. The others need to know that he can not come on the property, the house, anything. Nowhere near Stiles at all.”

Peter chuckled. “As much as I know it would make me feel better to find him and clock him just once, Scott will get what’s coming to him in time. Right now, my only concern is that one of my mates is hurting because another alpha is an idiot.” He tilted his head to kiss Derek’s cheek. “My first priority will always be you and Stiles, everyone else be damned.” he promised. He turned in Derek’s arms to kiss him properly, arms encircling the other wolf. “We’ll keep him safe, Der. Nothing can keep us apart anymore.”

Derek nodded slowly. “And what are we going to do if that good college is out of state, Peter? I don’t want him going into an area with another pack on his own, but we have the pack here to take care of as well.”

Peter sighed, nodding. “Believe me, I know. I’ve thought about that. And given our bond is still fairly new, he may need us. Moving the pack is one option, I know a few firms that would take me if I called them and wanted to get back o cases. But you know he’s likely to argue he’ll be fine.” He moved to make the bed and change, body less tense. “Right now, let’s focus on getting him to graduation.”

Stiles nodded slowly. “Right now, I just want a shower and then I want to go back to bed and get some sleep… probably be able to do so now that you’re both here.” He took the shirt Peter handed to him and grabbed a clean pair of sweat pants and then headed into the bathroom.

Derek watched him go and then turned to look at Peter. “You think he’s going to be okay going back to that school?” he asked quietly. “He’s smart, Peter. We could home school him. There’s traditional things like that as well as online schools. I don’t want to risk him running off like this again.”

Peter watched his younger mate go to the bathroom to shower before moving to sit down next to Derek. “I doubt he’d be able to. If it caused him to run once, we know he’ll come back over and over. He’s too smart for Scott and his stupidity to ruin his chances at a damn good college.” He reached to run his fingers through Derek’s hair. “Home school may be better, but let’s talk to Stiles first, okay?”

Stiles kept hold of Chris and rested his head on the other’s shoulder. “Me too,” he answered quietly. “Chris… maybe we should just go… leave… get out of Beacon Hills. Everyone else is gone. Why are we staying?” He pulled back. “Scott doesn’t even want us here anymore… fine… let me handle it all. We don’t owe anyone else anything. Not now… Peter’s gone… Derek’s gone… they’re all… gone… we could go somewhere, start over… you and me…”

Chris listened frowning a little. Scott had just…not been who he had thought – had turned into someone not even his daughter would have loved. IT hurt to think about, but as much as Chris had tried to be a supporter of the pack, when Scott had refused to be reasonable, Chris had given his loyalties to Peter and Stiles. Now though…Stiles was right. “With nothing left, we could go anywhere you want.” he agreed. “Is there anywhere in particular you had in mind?”
