Stiles' POV
We ran in the preserve past the Hale burnt house down to the deeper part of the preserve. Isaac howled in happiness before doing a flip. Derek and Peter were happy. I could feel their emotions flow around us in waves making me more confident.
I'm glad I had magic powers so now I could catch up with them in whatever speed they took off. This was my first run with them. It made me feel like a bond was being created between us.. It had a sense of belonging making me feel that this was a pack where I belonged and no matter what happens, the far we've come we'll make it through anything.
I know I couldn't have gained all these if it weren't for Lux who came in my life. I was in darkness and she became the light in my life, is that why her parents named her 'Lux'?. I really love her because she has shown me that there's a lot to life than having despair and acting like a damsel in distress. With her, I got hope and a new found strength, I'm not afraid of what tomorrow holds, certainly not.
Makes me remember a song by Jessie J..
When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found,
I lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along
And I sing along
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight
I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
Light light you're my flashlight
Light light light light light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
You're my flash, oh
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
Light light
You're my flashlight
Light light ye-yeah
You're my flashlight.
"Stiles, did you hear that?". Derek asked pulling me from my cloud of thoughts back to reality. They were slowing down to a stop.
"Hear what?". I questioned, puzzled because I couldn't hear anything. I huffed in annoyance, "I don't have Wolfy hearing like you guys do". I added after seeing Peter and Isaac looking at me questioningly.
"You don't need Wolfy sense to hear what's going on. I can hear it too. It's not far from here". Malia said.
I scooted closer as I focused. I heard it too. How silly of me, it was loud enough for anyone to hear.
There were wolves fighting bushes ahead though we couldn't see them.
"So, what now?". I asked as I turned to look at them.
"Why ask us?". Isaac asked.
"Because you are wolves and this is wolfy business". I retorted.
"Seriously?". Peter asked.
"What?". I asked back.
"Are you too dumb or what?". Derek asked.
"Dumb? What d'you guys mean?". I asked now not in annoyance but in confusion. I wasn't understanding what they were meaning.
"I may become an alpha later on but I'll still look up to you". Derek answered sending more confusion in me.
Isaac scoffed, "You're such a dumbass!".
"Psh, what they mean is that when Lux is not here you are the one in charge. You are our leader!". Malia blutered out.
I looked at all of them, eyes wide open in shock. I opened my mouth to talk but no words came out so I closed it. I took a deep breathe to calm down.
"Chill man. Relax!". Isaac said while patting my shoulder, gave it a squeeze then let it go.
I took another deep breathe. I hadn't expected this nor had I seen it coming. I had never even thought of it, that a day will come when Derek, Peter, Isaac and Malia would look up at me as a leader.. All thanks to Lux.
She really has brought a lot of things in my life of late, huh?.
"So?". They all asked in unison looking back at me with great anticipation and determination.
"I say we break the fight and maintain peace and order". I suggested.
"Spoken like a true leader". Peter commented with a smirk on his face.
"Let's go? But keep it cool guys.. Be careful". I muttered.
"We will. Don't worry". Isaac said in a reassuring tone.
I nodded at them. They nodded back. I smiled before turning to walk towards the direction of the groaning and struggles with them following me behind.
We broke into a small clearing. Four werewolves fighting.. Clawing and snarling at each other. Too busy to even notice us.
"Stop!". I shouted but they didn't even wince let alone break the fight to look at me. I tried again, this time shouting at the top of my lungs but soon regretted it with the way my throat hurt.
I could use magic to hold them back from tearing each other apart, right?. I took a deep breathe to focus on a spell that I'd tried a few days ago. I created wind strong enough to pull them away from each other, they tried to lunge again at each other but I created an invisible wall between them that pushed them back.
They looked at each other then at us, their chests heaving up and down with heavy breathes.
"Stop fighting!". I exclaimed now that I had gotten their intention.
"Make us". One of them snarled angrily. They lunged towards us trying to attack but I quickly created a wall between us and them.
"That didn't go too well right?". I asked.
"Yeah". Isaac answered.
The werewolves were trying to break through the wall between us so as to reach us, they even clawed at it even though they couldn't see it.
I pushed them back with slight wind but they were quick to respond by lunging forward again towards the invisible wall between us.
"Derek do something. I can't hold on for long". I remarked as I felt my spell start to wear off due to the strong, fierce attacks from the four rabid wolves.
"Something like what?". He spat out.
"You were an alpha, right?". I questioned.
"Not anymore". He whined as if the statement hurt him.
I inhaled sharply as I tried to focus more strength on my spell. "Remember what Lux told you? That you could reignite the alpha powers?". I asked now panting from the effort I was applying. I could feel the anxiety from Peter and the worry from Isaac and Malia.
"Yes, I remember". Derek answered.
"Try now Derek. Please try". I begged, the spell wearing off completely and the rabid werewolves lunging forward towards us to attack.
Malia, Peter and Isaac shifted to their were forms to be ready to attack back.
"Try what?". Derek asked, his words slurred because of his fangs. I tried dodging the claws from the werewolf attacking me.
"Try acting as an alpha, imagine this is your pack attacking us for no reason and you want them to stop". I said as I used a spell to push the wolf away but it soon recovered to come back and attack me.
"Derek. Try to feel that fire in you. That power. The need and urgency to protect your pack... Ignite it and become the alpha you are". I said as I pushed the wolf again. Peter was doing well, Isaac was pinned down getting blows and Malia was almost down as well.
"We're not doing well". Malia shouted, her voice full of desperation and worry.
"Should we call Lux?". I shouted back, I wasn't doing so well either.
"No". Derek growled as he clawed his attacker on the chest throwing him aside before coming to my aid. He gave the werewolf a couple of blows.
"You should help Isaac or Malia". I mumbled.
Derek looked worried. We couldn't pull through this alone with no help. He lowered his head to his chest and for a minute I thought that he was probably going to howl for help as Lux had told us to do before we left the mansion but I was wrong.
My eyes widened at the sight and my jaw dropped causing me to take a few steps back.
In front of me obviously stood Derek but this one was different. His chest heaved up and down as he took in deep sharp breathes. His icy blue eyes had changed and we're now replaced by a crimson red..
He took in a deep breathe and gave out a roar. Not a howl nor a growl but a roar. Making me to remember that night at the Sheriff's that he saved me from Isaac.
The four rabid were wolves stopped. Even the one attacking Isaac stopped and joined his buddies. By the time Derek's roar stopped, they'd submitted.
This was a different roar. Not the same as when he was an alpha before. This was a powerful one. I could also feel it course in my veins.
"True alpha!". One of the rabid wolves exclaimed as they morphed back to human form.
"Yes he is". Peter said with a smirk.
"That, was.. Awesome!". I exclaimed happily while giving out an air fist pump.
"That was good". Isaac said with a wide smile though some blood was on his cheek, "Welcome back alpha".
"Thank you for saving us". Malia said standing beside me.
I could feel the strength and power from Derek in waves. He was now stronger and powerful than before.
"I hope you'll be a good alpha this time around nephew". Peter said with arms crossed against his chest.
Derek took another deep breathe. He was so silent. It's not as if I wasn't used to his unhyperactiveness and dry sense of humor but the tension building up was causing me to feel uneasy. I needed him to say something..... Anything.
This was not a time for him to be silent, no way.
He looked at us all, morphing back to his human form, finally tearing his glare away from the rabid wolves who reeked off fear and anxiety.. At times you don't need a wolfy nose to know the emotions present.
"Trust me. You won't regret this". He said with a small smile.
We all smiled back apart from the rabid wolves of course. I don't think we'll ever regret this. Not ever.
We now had an alpha whom other supernaturals would sign under for Derek to sign under Lux for her to sign The Book Of Life and for us to seal it close and for them to be protected.
Yes, We now had an alpha.
