Even though he could change fully now, Derek seldom did. It was easier to keep his wolf at bay and practice the meditation his mother taught him as a child than it was to occasionally let the beast out and keep it under control. In a town like this, it was critically important to avoid any potential issues and with all the younger wolves lacking control running around, he figured he should keep himself in check.
That didn't mean he wasn't still drawn to the woods though and he enjoyed taking a run, especially at night when his predator's eyes allowed him to see what mere humans couldn't. There were a lot of people here who liked spending time in nature and he preferred to avoid them whenever possible.
His nose twitched when he caught a vaguely familiar scent nearby. It was clearly a human/wolf hybrid, but it smelled more wolf than human which was interesting. He was pretty sure he'd picked up that particular scent at a Pack gathering in the past, but he couldn't remember meeting the person it belonged to. Despite his general desire for solitude, he decided to follow the scent until he came across a gorgeous wolf lying under a tree. He approached carefully, making sure to keep his posture in a submissive stance. "Hello," he said. "I'm Derek."
