what do you call a rose

On AO3

The McCall Pack is legendary. It’s made up entirely of bitten wolves and other creatures led by a True Alpha with a deadly second and an even more deadly Emissary. Rumors say they’ve tamed a kanima and somehow snared a banshee.

Unfortunately, the pack is living on Hale land and it doesn’t sit well with Laura. So she contacts the Alpha, informing him of her decision to move her pack of five back to California. It takes less than a week to come up with a compromise.

The agreement is simple, worked out mainly over email with a few phone calls between Laura and the True Alpha. Derek will marry into the pack and in exchange, the remaining members of the Hale pack will have protection and the right to their family lands. It is a fair trade and a sacrifice Derek is more than willing to make to keep his little family safe.

“No.” Laura is barely through the door and she already
knows the rest of her day is ruined.

Stiles turns from where he is standing at the stove,
cooking something that smells delicious. Which can only mean one thing.

She drops her bag to the floor. “I am not getting
sexiled from my own home.”

Laura Hale is an awesome human being. Most of
the time. Stiles has no idea how he was lucky enough to end up as her best
friend, but occasionally he just wants to lock her in the bathroom. With love.

“… but Stiles, you can’t just stay here.
It’s Christmas.”

“I live here.” He grumbles. They’ve
had this argument at least once a day since Thanksgiving and it was old before
December first.
