Ellen Sara asked Kelley Armstrong:

Clay was very wolf like and mated with Elena for life. Derek seems to be pretty wolf like too. Is he pretty much mated to Chloe for life too? How hard will it be for him to be away from her while at school? Since he won his war with puberty and is better looking now does he attract female attention? If he does does he even notice? If not, what would it take for him to notice? I like to think he's faithful :)

Kelley Armstrong I think "pretty much mated for life" is the right way to put it. There's never any guarantee, but he sees her as his mate. He won't like being away at college by himself, even if it's only for a single term (as they discuss in Atoning) but he'll survive.
I wouldn't say he's significantly better looking now, but that doesn't mean no girl would notice him. He'd treat it the same way Clay does--or Elena or Chloe. He's found what he's wants to purchase so he's done shopping ;)
