    Summary

    Stiles took a deep breath, his gaze dropping from Derek’s as he turned to look back in the vanity's mirror. He looked at Derek’s distorted image in the reflection, noting how he could only see part of Derek’s body—his hand, adorned in rings, wrapped around the handle of an ornate cane.

    The image of a powerful man, who did not belittle himself for the sake of an uncle's bastard.

    Derek was much more than the rumors speculated, and Stiles was intrigued by that.

    Or, the regency romance novel where Stiles is having Peter's baby, and Derek marries him for propriety's sake, (or so Stiles assumes).

    Summary

    When Derek's cousin Jackson comes home for the summer he brings a unannounced guest with him. An uncouth, uncivilized, unappealing foxling that Derek has little time or taste for. Like it or not, they're going to be spending the season together and he's quick to make himself at home in the manor. Derek just wants to make it through the brutal summer by any means necessary, even if it means befriending the wretched thing.

    Summary

    Between a rock and a hard place, Stiles seeks a solution at the Beacon Hills Associated Hospital, an SCC affiliate specialized in breeding programs to ensure the survival of endangered supes. He can only hope that Derek Hale will give him the time of day and help save his father out of the goodness of his heart because Stiles has very little to offer, besides the small chance of freedom if they successfully breed.

    “I must say, I’m surprised you continue to pursue Derek even after all of our warnings. He won’t choose you. He’s been here long enough that his instincts are getting confused. I believe he interfered in Jordan’s courting because he thought Jordan was a threat to your wellbeing. Don’t mistake his interference for interest.” Deaton sighs. “He’s stubborn and volatile. His reluctance to breed doesn’t bode well for his future. Which is an immense pity. He’s the last of his line. A direct descendant of one of the few native werewolf packs in California.”

    “I know,” Stiles says.
