Derek dropped what he was holding and stared at Stiles' stomach in awe- Stiles was confused for a moment, but suddenly his confusion was cleared by Derek getting on his knees, pressing his ear to his stomach, and muttering: "Daddy's here babies, I'm here..." Stiles felt Derek's tears against his skin as he muttered: "I can hear their heartbeats... So many heartbeats."
The moment Derek said how many heartbeats he could hear, Stiles felt like he lost his for a single moment- Because holy shit, that's some powerful swimmers he has!
-x-
Let go back a few weeks- As said before, the Blackfur Bear Tribe is a tribe of humans who hunt black bears and gather their fur as trophies of high value! The greatest warrior in their tribe is the one who manages to hunt and kill a black bear alone, and that role was given to their leader and chief whose name was Bea-Bur, meaning Bear Feared, or feared by bears, which is a very... interesting name. Bea-Bur was a very skilled warrior, sadly he was not enough to protect his people.
The Blackfur Bear Tribe was a large amount of 255 people, many men and women were brave warriors who fought against them, but sadly they had beasts in human skin who fought ferociously against their best warriors and tore them to pieces, and now here he is- The mighty and powerful leader of the tribe, running away with the last people who were neither captured or killed by their invaders: Paradise Tribe. He heard many great and bad things about the Paradise Tribe, like the name it is said to the most beautiful tribe to ever exist and be the strongest as well, with their warriors being beasts in the battlefield and their women being the most beautiful, their homes being made of stone and their food being delicious. Their riches were spread but their cruelty was well known by many- The Paradise Tribe would either take slaves or kill anyone who stood in their way, only the worthy tribe were absorbed by the Paradise tribe as their own, becoming part of Paradise Tribe.
Golden Hair was the chief and witch of the Paradise Tribe, there was word that she was the most beautiful woman but also the most vicious! Her words could enchant the most powerful warrior while also poisoning him to kill everything he loves, it was said she has a particular hatred for the beast people, the people who can turn into animals. Bea-Bur has met many of these beast people and they are formidable warriors, to see them reduced to mere beasts is honestly saddening and cruel, he saw the tears in their eyes as they fought, he saw the pain in their souls as they killed, he saw how they didn't want to do that. From men, women, and children acting and killing like beasts without control as men holding staffs with glowing purple crystals laughed and pointed their fingers at them, as if laughing at animals. Laughing at the carnage they brought...
It made his blood boil.
Bea-Bur, or rather, another nameless person scattered to the wilds, alongside his people who also lost their past names ran through the trees and roots of the Death Forest, the moon above their heads glowed the silver light that almost made every beast chasing them seem wilder, more feral and cruel... The soft white mist flowed through the trees, they had to hold their breaths as to not inhale the hallucinatory mist of the Death Forest- Everyone could hear the several sounds of the many animals of the Death Forest crying and screaming as if they were men and women being killed, or maybe it was the souls of the many dead inside this forest telling them to leave before they too fall into the Goddess' arms. "Quick!" A mother held her baby in her arms as they ran- Why the beasts didn't catch them was a wonder, but he knew- They, the ones with the staffs, were making so they were hunting them slowly, agonizingly slowly, make them lose hope and fall into despair's arms. "Careful!" He held a small child that was about to fall, he held her and gave her to her mother as they kept running away from the monsters.
"There- Catch, little one!" There was a snarl as pain exploded from his back, and he knew there was a small one of them on his back, snarling and biting into his back. "ARGH!" Shouting in pain, the former best warrior of his tribe grabbed the little one from behind his back and pulled him off- He looked into the little one's eyes, full of tears and glowing blue, he looked pitiful. "I'm sorry little one." He threw back, away from his people. He heard the little boy whine in pain as he hit the ground as they all ran! Fear, despair, and adrenaline was in the air- They all wanted to survive: "Get the women and the children, the men can be used as food!" The fear increased as he thought about what would happen to his wife and son- What would happen to them!? There was a purple glow as these ropes of energy darted towards them all and as they were about to touch him, they shattered.
Everything stopped.
Turning around, everyone heard the shattering of glass as the purple crystal atop of one of the three staffs shattered, soon another one did the same, and in the end, another one.
It was so fast barely anyone even reacted- Everyone just, stopped running, stopped walking, stopped taunting and speaking. Everyone stopped breathing and there was only silence everywhere.
Which was why it was so easy to hear the heavenly voice humming a honestly haunting tune- The ground beneath the three men of the Paradise Tribe were suddenly wrapped in thick green vine and roots, these beautiful yellow-blue flowers blooming. The white mist gave way as a man stepped out of the trees, and by his body and aura they could see he was an Omega! He was holding this rather large bow, it had half the size of his body and it there were these golden glowing patterns around the bow- There was a moment of silence before the bow shrank into a smaller size, being only ⅓ of the size of the Omega's body: "Get those three to our dungeon, let's take a look at the survivors." That moment they all saw this massive beast of a wolf walking behind the man, his eyes glowed a bright red as his body cracked and turned inside out to reveal a large and imposing Alpha, and by his aura he was a rare and unique Rank 10 Alpha! The former Bea-Bur himself was only Rank 7 Alpha, and the difference between ranks is too large.
"Scott, gather the children of the freed Weres. Erica, held gather the women. Boyd and Jackson, gather the men..." The Omega seemed to be in charge somewhat? "Everyone- Welcome to the Death Forest." He spread his arms out, the wind blew the mist around him, he was wearing this delicate white pelt clothing and his shoulder length hair was braided with flowers, making him look like the most soft and beautiful Omega any of them have ever seen before- His aura-!? 'Impossible...' Every Beta, Alpha, and Omega has this aura around their bodies that, the strength of their aura is what is used to determine their rank. A Beta's aura is neutral, an Alpha's aura is dominant and suppressive, while an Omega's aura is soft and delicate, making everyone around them calm and feeling positive things. It was clear as everyone there felt the Omega's aura, their emotions calmed down a little in the presence of the first Rank 10 Omega he has ever seen in his life. "This is our Territory... We are the Pandemonium Tribe."
Pandemonium? He never heard this word before- What does it even mean?
Regardless, they all slowly calmed down thanks to the leader Omega's words and aura, the previously enslaved beast people all obeyed whatever the Alpha spoke, the Omega helped them, and they all were brought to these large trees, teams of people would go to this platform and they would be brought up towards the canopy and disappeared from sight, after a while they were all brought upwards the top of the trees and the sight was beautiful- "Derek, take care of our new friends while i take care of these three." The Omega dragged the three men of Paradise tribe somewhere while the Alpha nodded at them-
The night had just started.

"So, wanna tell me your little secrets, Paradise people?" Stiles grinned- His work after his dad died was... Dark? He turned to the darker side of the world in despair, the people who killed his father were not good people and to kill a monster, you need to become one! "Don't worry, you're gonna talk." He became a professional assassin, he learned how to kill, gather information, torture, fight, and so many other things that it scares him how vast his knowledge of how to make people feel pain is- Well, and bow many people he killed, how many weapons he knows how to use, and how many things he knows how to make. Bombs? Kinda easy, specially gunpowder bombs! Oh fuck, he can make gunpower later! "So, who are you and what are your names?" The three men were held upside-down by vines, beneath them were three barrels full of water.
Yep. Stiles is going to waterboard these men.
What? He went through this shit already, and it's not cool! "We're not gonna talk-" One of the three men, who looked absolutely scared shitless, spoke: "Oh, you will."
The screams and grunts of pain were ignored, and later so was the scent of blood on his hands. Stiles happily skipped to Derek as he spoke to another Alpha, no Alpha here even got close to his rank, the highest Alpha in ranking was the one he was talking to- He was a Rank 7? About that. "Love, I've gotten information for you~" Derek quickly took him in his arms as they spoke; "You see, the three men with the Scepters of Enslavement were sent by their commander to collect more slaves, they have been ordered to sent the collected slaves to a three to two hour journey from here... Maybe some of the people are still alive you know?" Stiles kissed Derek's cheek for a moment, he had a little strange urge to eat meat- Raw meat. 'Huh?' He blinked and the urge was gone just as quickly as it came, so he just ignored it all as he kept talking: "In terms of people, they have some Godbloods-" The name of people with special abilities "-betweem Rank 3 and 4, about 25 of their people are Godbloods. There are many Alphas and Betas in their army of 800 men and 250 women, those who do not fight are in the higher numbers." Derek grunted- Fuck, they have the number advantage!
"However, we do have something they don't- I know how to destory the crystals that keep the slaves nice and obeying." He twirled his fingers, tender and soft white fingers which (smelled a little of blood) Derek took to his mouth: "Hey-" Stiles chuckled at the tickling tongue: "-Anyway, we can get the majority of the recently captured really easily, like, there are about 7 of those guys there with each having a staff with those crystals that are really easy to break." Derek hummed before he said: "Good- Want to go save your people?" This time Derek looked the previous leader of the Blackfur Bear Tribe, who looked determined- He nodded.
And save them they did- It was rather easy, with Stiles' bow enchantment actived it was even easier! Stiles enchanted his bow so it would grow in size, and so also in power. When activates the enchantment, the bow would glow a little and the strain of pulling the string would be non-existent, making it so fucking easy to shoot arrows capable of cutting through thick wood and move faster than one can blink. With that power in his hands, Stiles managed to break the seven other scepters easily and free the slaves trapped by the people.
And like that, the Pandemonium Tribe of the Death Forest have received abiut 215 people! 115 men, 75 women, and 25 children. Many Alphas, Betas, and even a few Omegas!
Well- Their life got so busy! Stiles managed to complete the tree apartment of the other side and expanded a lot of it, managed to make about 20 homes inside that one tree, each home having about 4 rooms and in total having about 50 by 60 feet of space. Each home managed to house about 5 people comfortably and at max 10 people uncomfortably. Stiles did start building a second hollow tree apartment with the help of workers that Derek gave the order to work with him- Stiles himself assigned and helped people with the new little rice farm he had made around the lake, thanks to his [Mixing] skill he made a lot of (+10) rice seeds that spread around and made really bountiful rice plants that gave a lot of rice, and i mean a lot of it! There were also a lot of tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, peppers, watermelons, and even new fruits besides limes! Stiles found thanks to Derek apples, oranges, and even other vegetables such as eggplants and even some wild lettuce that Stiles enjoyed making salad with.
Overall, their tribe was growing really quickly, they now had 267 citizens and they each have names given by either Stiles or Derek- Derek divided the hunting team and warriors to train alongside him, they had to quickly get used to the terrain they live in, use the trees as natural cover to fight and have the advantage! Stiles also taught the women and Omegas who wanted to fight how to use bows and shoot enemies from afar, give support and fight as well! He even took Scott as an apprentice priest when he uncovered a secret- Everyone has the potential to unlock their abilities, while the majority of the population either has an elemental related ability, some have other abilities, such as Scott! When he healed him, a little bit of the energy got left behind him, and that energy awoke his special ability: Healing.
Basically he can heal others like Stiles can- Not as effective but he can make a human heal as fast as a werewolf by using his ability! Sure it takes energy from him, but he is a werewolf and has a lot of it, so he helps and heals constantly. His heart is also soft which makes him reallt cuddly and likes to scent mark him, which is a behavior mostly taken by family, children, mated pairs, and friends, so Stiles ignored it! Derek, however, did not- He got jealous and possessive and pushed Stiles down on their bed where little Isaac (Who had friends to play now, in the form of a little Werepanther named Elias) sat down beside him, Isaac started calling him mama recently and Stiles thinks that's adorable.
Stiles started showing a little bit by the time he was 5 weeks pregnant- When the 6th week hit, his stomach was bigger than he thought it would be, he also started craving raw meat more regularly, which was a sign that the little ones were going to be werewolves! When weeUk 7 day 6 hit around and week 8 was upon them, Derek had lied down after a long day as a Tribe Chief and relaxed beside his pregnant mate who was working on herbs and things he couldn't fully understand, he took a large fruit and began to eat it as he looked at his love, relaxed- That was when it happened.
At first it was only one, and realpy weak, but then it got louder.
Derek dropped what he was holding and stared at Stiles' stomach in awe- Stiles was confused for a moment, but suddenly his confusion was cleared by Derek getting on his knees, pressing his ear to his stomach, and muttering: "Daddy's here babies, I'm here..." Stiles felt Derek's tears against his skin as he muttered: "I can hear their heartbeats... So many heartbeats."
The moment Derek said how many heartbeats he could hear, Stiles felt like he lost his for a single moment- Because holy shit, that's some powerful swimmers he has!
"Wait, how many!?"
"Nine, i hear nine heartbeats."
Holy shit- No wonder his stomach looks so large! Thanks the heavens that Omegas are so flexible, he's gonna need it.
