AN: This is part of the first and second chapter written from Derek's point of view. It's something I've been thinking of doing for awhile, and this part was already done from the summer, so I thought I'd upload it whilst writing Chapter 4 of Learning to Live and to Love.

I think seeing it all from Derek's point of view is interesting as it lets you have a look into Derek's mind and see how he's feeling about everything. I think that he's a very complex character that sometimes gets the short end of the stick, so this is my attempt to bring his character forward.

I'm not sure if this will become a regular thing, but I might occasionally try to add a small piece from Derek's point of view every once in a while.

As always I appreciate reviews and feedback. I hope you all enjoy it.

I uncurled myself from Chloe's body, I could hear, see and smell everything. Right now the tantalising smell of rabbit could be smelt everywhere. Chloe would be fine for a few minutes... if anything happened to her I would hear it and be back within minutes. The wolf growled, it was torn in two, on one hand it wanted to remain here and protect Chloe but on the other hand all it wanted was to explore, everything felt new, my body felt different, everything was... new, untouched, untainted.

My mind made up I turned and ran through the woods, and it was unbelievable, I felt so free, the wolf howled, finally free and satisfied. The pain of all the false changes was worth it. I would go through it all again in a heartbeat if it meant that the outcome would be the same.

I caught the scent of a fresh rabbit trail, mmm... this is what I had been dreaming of. I chased it and running as fast as I could, eventually the rabbit tripped and I caught it before feeding until my stomach was full. The urge to roam, hunt and kill was now under control, the restlessness disappeared.

I returned to Chloe at a slower pace, there was no reason to rush... no reason to rush, there was reason to rush. The pack, how could I have forgotten about them. I shot forward trying to get to Chloe as soon as possible, if anything had happened to her, God, I don't know what I would do. I've known her for such little time yet she seems to mean more to me than I could ever have thought she would, it seems as if she could eventually mean everything to me.

The run back to Chloe gave me time to think, I realised I had no idea of how to change back. Dad had never mentioned what I would need to do, did I just need to think of it? Was there some specific action that needed to take place? Everything I tried was in vain, my body would not respond. My wolf form was useless at the moment, there was no way I could communicate with Chloe like this. I sat back on my hunches, looking over Chloe and the surrounding forest. If I couldn't make us move, the least I could do was make sure we were safe until Chloe woke up.

So I am working on giving you a regular chapter update, hopefully there will be something uploaded in the next few weeks.

As always feedback is welcome, on here or to my e-mail address which is rockchick134hotmail(dot)com.

Thank you all so much for reading.
