Here he was again, hanging out in the high school parking lot for no apparent reason. Why was this his life? Derek wondered, rolling his eyes as he sighed. Leaning against the front of his car, he adjusted his sunglasses and crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for school to let out. Since he really had nothing else to do while he waited, Derek's mind automatically wandered to his new girlfriend and a slow, smug smile spread across his face. Kate was wonderful and his family would understand that, and how it was happening so fast, once they found out that she was his emissary.
Emissaries were attached to packs, to alphas, for life. It was a lifelong relationship. That he and Kate were involved and falling in love with each other was like the most perfect thing to ever happen to Derek. He felt more settled than he had in years, knowing that he had finally found his person, and his family would understand that once they knew that and had met Kate. It was too soon for meeting families, he knew that, but he thought about it sometimes.
The doors finally opened and kids streamed out of the school. Cora noticed him immediately and ran over to launch herself at him, Melly at her heels, and Derek hugged them both tighter than he had when he'd returned from New York. He missed them as much as they missed him, but no matter how much he wanted to give them a ride home and stop off for ice cream on the way, he couldn't do that today. He had pack business to attend to. The girls reluctantly departed with another round of hugs, and Derek looked around quickly for the girl he was waiting for.
Frowning as he struggled to find one blonde amid what seemed to be a sea of blondes, Derek was about to give up when he spotted her. Striding across the parking lot, Derek quickly caught up to her and her friend. He looked familiar, and after a second he realized it was because this guy had been the one helping Libby with her truck on Monday when Derek had arrived to give her a ride home.
"Erica," he called, and immediately wished he was better at dealing with people. He was probably creeping her out, but at least she had her friend with her - a friend who looked fully capable of defending her...if he wasn't potentially going up against an alpha werewolf. He saw no other option than laying it out there bluntly before she could tell him to fuck off. "You don't know me, but I'm Cora Hale's brother. She told me about your medical issues, and I can help, if you'll let me."
