Stiles' POV
"I'm so happy". Lux squealed in excitement. The whole room roared in excitement and disbelief about Derek being able to ignite the alpha in him.
I laughed softly to myself while holding the cup of herbal tea that Guardian Green made me so as to calm my nerves and help me to relax. I'd used a lot of magic today and I was weak. Peter had carried me back to the mansion.
"When I heard the roar, I was confused... So I asked myself 'is that a plea for help or what?' It didn't sound as a howl nor a plea for help but it was powerful and loud". Guardian yellow said as she sat beside Keeper.
"I am really proud of you Derek". Lux said softly, fondness in her eyes. I could feel the pride emitting from her.
"I couldn't have done this alone. You and everyone else here were a complete part in this. Thank you all". Derek said.
"Ow the alpha just gave out a speech!". I exclaimed with a smile but Derek smiled back as he rolled his eyes fondly.
"I hate to break the happy mode but what are we going to do with the rogues we found?". Peter questioned. I could tell that he'd really changed, he was nicer now though that does not mean that I'd forget the day he offered me the bite when he was an alpha. Thank the heavens that this Peter was different even his thirst for power was fading away.. Thanks to Lux's teachings. At times I wonder what He and Lux talk about in hushed voices but I don't want to be a nosy mate so I keep my cool.
Anyways, yeah after Derek's mighty roar and the rogues submitting, they followed us back to the mansion, turns out that they had been looking for an alpha and the fight occurred because of a disagreement of which territory to turn to and which alpha to go to. Now it seems that their argument was set aside after seeing Derek. Their alpha had been killed by another alpha and they didn't want to join the other alpha's pack so they ran away.
"They should join your pack Derek they have no pack by the way". Lux proposed.
Derek raised a brow as if debating through the decision and shrugged his shoulders, "I guess it's up to them if they want to join my pack or not. I don't want them fighting again but still that's their decision to make".
"Good". Red said nodding in agreement.
"What about the druid who summoned me? Doctor Deaton? Whose pack is he in?". Lux questioned.
Derek looked at me then at Peter before we looked at her.
"Scott's?". Derek posed more as a question.
"He was Talia's emissary so originally he belongs to the Hale pack and you my nephew are an alpha, you have a pack now, what you need is an emissary". Peter said.
"Originally his alpha who was Talia, died meaning he has no more connection with you unless you ask". Lux cut in. "Relationship between an alpha and an emissary is quite complicated and something more sacred, a bond is usually created and all that stuff". Lux completed not wanting to go into too much details.
"But you can ask him to be in your pack as a temporally emissary to at least protect him from Babayada". Green proposed.
"That my friend is a good idea". I said making her smile, I smiled back at her.
"I think that's what I'll do". Derek answered.
"I'll come with you". Peter offered. Derek nodded in agreement before he grabbed their jackets from the chair and stood up to leave.
"Be careful you two. Call us or howl in case of anything". Guardian Yellow said earning a nod from them as they left.
"Stiles, can we talk in private?". Lux asked as I took the last sip of my herbal tea. I looked up at her, you know with that 'why and what do we have to talk in private' look but she had this private smile that was only for me and I couldn't say 'no'. You know that smile that I love so much and yearn for everyday. I remember when Scott used to melt under Alison's smile, I used to think of it as stupid but now I'm also there experiencing the same thing.
"Excuse us guys". I said as I stood up while placing the cup that had my herbal tea on the table and following Lux to our room.
"Long day, huh?". She asked as she shut the door behind her and leaned her back on it. Her hand still on the door knob.
"Yeah. All I want is to rest". I replied while running a hand on my face turning to face her. "But I missed you". I muttered out softly as I inched towards her to press a kiss on her forehead then her lips.
"I really missed you love". I whispered before kissing her deeply, my hands on her waist while hers on my chest.
"I missed you more. It's hard to not touch you in front of others".
"You can always touch me, stop being shy". I said with a smile though knowing too well that we weren't yet ready for open affection in front of other people.
"You're getting muscular". She replied ignoring my statement.
"You don't like it?".
"No, I love it". She complimented as she ran her slender fingers on my chest.
"I love you". I said with a smile.
"I love you more". She promised as we kissed again.
"What did you want us to talk about?". I asked as I broke the kiss.
"Your dad".
"What about him?". I questioned, worry lines etching deep on my forehead.
"He should be under our protection as well since he's your father. He is now a father of a god and that puts him in danger". She explained. I swallowed hard, I hadn't even thought about it that my father would also be in danger because of me. But how silly of me? I wasn't human anymore so what else did I expect?.
"I am sorry love, I drugged you and your father into all of these". Lux said in a small voice.
"Hey, even before you came in my life I was already involved with the supernatural and I ran alongside wolves". I explained. "Pops already knows about the supernatural, he knows about Derek, Scott, the nogitsune, everything. I'll just have to explain everything new that has taken place and that's it. He'll understand".
She exhaled sharply, "Do you want me to accompany you? Let me be there when you talk to him".
I took her hand in mine and pressed a kiss on her knuckles, "No love. Thank you but let me handle this on my own. Let me talk to him alone.. You know, the father-son talk". I said with a small smile while she raised a brow as if to ask "Are you serious?".
I took in a deep breathe while pulling her into a warm embrace. "Love, trust me. I'll handle this". I said in a small voice as I ran my hand on her hair earning satisfactory purrs from her (after all she's a hamster, right? And I know she loves it whenever I pet her) I smiled at that.
"I trust you Stiles. Please be careful". She responded back in the same tone I used.
"I will be careful. Just bless me so that I'll do well".
"You already have my blessings. You'll always have my blessings". She muttered. I knew she was drifting off to sleep, but that's good, right?. I had a father to talk to and it's better off if she slept to avoid her from worrying.
I carried her bridal style before tucking her to bed after I took her sandals off. Kissed her forehead then left.
Scott's POV
I was late again for work. I knew Deaton wouldn't be there by now but that didn't mean that he wouldn't know if I was late or not. But then again, the lights to the clinic were on signifying that Deaton was there but he wasn't alone. Derek and Peter were there.
Why were they here?. And where were they all those weeks?. I had seen Isaac and Malia at school but we weren't talking to each other so we couldn't ask about Derek and Peter's whereabouts. I wasn't practically worried about them, I just wanted to know what they were up to or if they'd been kidnapped by hunters again.
"Thank you Derek, Peter. I shall see you later then, I guess". Deaton said.
"Thank you also". Peter said.
"See you later Deaton". Derek said then the door opened. I hid behind the cars that were on the parking lot as they got out to go to their car.
Why were they thanking Deaton and why would Deaton see them later?. What were they up to?.
I watched them drive away and the lights to the clinic flicked closed, Deaton was leaving. I could easily ask him what Derek and Peter wanted but we don't talk much nowadays as we used to do. We just have a casual talk like that of employer-employee but nothing else nothing more.
I took in a deep breathe as I got out of my hiding debating with my self whether to go in the clinic or leave for home but then I heard footsteps. I turned but I couldn't see whoever was walking. They were heavy footsteps obviously that couldn't be Deaton.
Moreover, I couldn't catch a whiff of whomever was coming. This person was scentless like Stiles. The footsteps stopped, the street lights started flickering on and off. My heart beat sped, this wasn't normal.
"Who goes there!". I shouted but no one answered. The lights stopped flickering then the footsteps started again. They were echoing towards me. This unseen, unsmellable person was coming in my direction and yet I couldn't detect from which direction he or she was from. But this was definitely a "he" not a she. An this "he" was definitely a supernatural creature.
"Show yourself". I shouted again as I looked around. The footsteps stopped and the lights started flickering again.
The person grunted then mumbled something to himself but I couldn't hear whatever he was saying. Then came many whispers as if the person was having a discussion with many other unseen people. My breathing fastened and hardened it was as if my asthma was coming back... I couldn't breathe, I couldn't feel my legs that I could walk away and run for my life. The whispers stopped and the man snorted before he started walking again and the lights didn't stop flickering.
My lungs ached from the luck of air. Everything seemed to have stopped, I fell on my knees on the hard tarmaced road as I could feel the heavy footsteps inching closer to me. I was afraid, afraid of what was coming and yet I couldn't run nor protect myself. I couldn't shift to a werewolf either. Whatever was coming was powerful than I was.
Was this Babayada? Had she come for me?.
I couldn't process anymore answers nor questions. I gasped as I felt a sharp pain in my chest. All I could see in front of me were huge boots. The owner of the boots was invincible. I looked at my chest where the pain was coming from.
Black blood oozed from my chest down to my tee shirt. I had been stabbed by a wolfsbane laced sword, I could feel the wolfsbane taking effect quickly and yet I still couldn't stand on my feet and run to the clinic for help. It was like I was being held there by unseen forces. I shook from the pain that I was feeling.
The street lights flickered off as my killer took out the sword from my chest causing me more pain than when it had been sent in. I couldn't even scream nor shout, I was completely helpless.
I blinked twice. Darkness filled my world not because the street lights had flickered off, No! I was drifting off. Drifting away into the unknown.
"Pride comes before a fall". I remembered when Derek told me that. It ringed in my head causing the pang of pain I felt to worsen. Perhaps, if I had listened to him, I wouldn't be in this situation now.
"I am sorry Stiles". I whispered as I fell on the road on my back. I just wished I could have told him those words sooner but it was too late, I was headed for abyss.
Before I drifted off completely, I heard someone scream, one of those ear piercing screams....
Lydia!.
