Scott had been sitting with the rest of the pack at his house, eating dinner together. Something that they made sure to do every Friday. After everything that happened with theo they wanted to make sure nothing like that could happen again.
He looked around and smiled, he was glad to have everyone back. Ethan and adian, who had been traveling with derek to find kate argent, had finally come back. They were currently living at the apartment building that derek owned. Isaac and Allison had come back from visiting France with her father, he was glad to see the two of them were still happy.
Allison was currently talking to kira and Lydia about some fashion thing while malia and Isaac sat back and watched, small smiles on their faces. Jackson, who had come back for the summer to look into schools in the states, was debating about some show with stiles and liam, the latter two ganging up on the former.
Derek was having a conversation with Melissa, who he was trying to convince to move to the apartments since it would be cheaper and safer. Scott did have to agree with derek about the living arrangements. Kira and her family already lived close to the apartments so they wouldn't have to move. Lydia and her mom had moved into them about a month ago. Isaac and the twins were already living there along with Erica and Vernon. Allison and chris had been living just down the road since they moved out of the old house, after everything that happened with her mom.
Scott still felt bad, the women might have been…scary but that was her mother, he wouldn't know what he would do without his mother. Derek had already convinced stiles and his father to move into the complex, saying it was cheaper and someone would always be there help out, the sheriff was still recovering after all. It was easier to convince him when he was informed that parish, who had become the legal guardian of cory and officer Clarke and her sister were living with them.
Malia was a bit of a wild card. She lived with her father but would sneak to stiles every night and stay with him, said it made her feel safe. Scott was pretty sure if Jackson moved back he would join the others at the apartments as well.
Liam was in the same boat as scott seeing as he was living with them now. The young beta had informed his parents about everything, with scott by his side. Needless to say the pair had been thrown from the house, told to never come back. A week later melissa found and envelope stating liam was now under her care. She had driven by the house only to find it empty. It took a few weeks to get liam out of his funk but scott stayed by his beta every second.
Scott had to agree with derek on his argument with his mother. It was also closer to her work, it was something that scott agreed with. Sure he loved his home, he had grown up in it but with his pack so large they couldn't all stay in the one house and he didn't want to be separated from them. Derek had explained that was normal when they first talked about it, the feeling he was getting about wanted everyone close by.
He was shaken from his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder "Scott dude, you ok. You were zoned out" stiles said, scott gave his friend a smile "yeah, just a little tired I guess" it wasn't even a lie. He hadn't been able to sleep the past couple of nights, he would wake up in a sweat and with too much energy was unable to find himself able to fall back asleep, not even running helped.
"you sure dude?" stiles asked "you seem more than a little tired" this earned the attention of a few of those nearby, namely his mother and derek "sweety you feeling ok?" scott rolled his eyes but nodded "yeah just a little tired" he went to swipe away her hand, the one she was currently resting on his forehead before she jerked it back "scott. Your burning up" she put both hands on his face "your clammy, your pulse is racing" scott noticed everyone had gone quiet and were now watching him "mom I'm just tired" he tried again weakly "I thought we couldn't get sick?" malia asked from the other side of the room, directing her gaze toward derek "we can't. no human sicknesses anyway" he said stepping forward before crouching down in front of the alpha "scott, I need you to tell me how you feel"
Scott closed his eyes away from the light that seemed to have gotten brighter "I..i feel warm" he stated, feeling a heat rush through him "I feel itchy, all over. Like, under my skin." It wasn't something he noticed before, or if he did he didn't pay any attention to it "it's like…" he closed his mouth searching for the right words "like during the full moon. I thought it was just because the full moon is a day away" he said breath coming in quicker now that he has acknowledged the burning itch racing through his body, crashing into him like a wave.
Derek took a breath, he had a few ideas of what this could be, and he couldn't be sure though, not yet. "Scott" he kept his voice low and soft "scott I need you to open your eyes. Can you do that?" he asked. Scott hummed, his head was getting heavy, his thoughts foggy. He could hear someone speaking, it took him a moment to figure out it was derek. It took him another moment to figure out what he was saying "open..my..eyes?" he mumbled, head tipping forward, chin hitting his chest.
"crap" derek thought "scott, hey scotty I need you to listen to me ok. I need you to open your eyes" he gripped the boys head and lifted it up "scott open your eyes" his eyes flashed blue as he spoke. He needed to see to be sure. HE had only seen this twice when he was younger, if it was what he was thinking, things were about to get very very awkward.
Everyone was silent, moments passed before anything happened. Derek was about to speak again when he noticed scott begin to open his eyes, and sucked in a breath. Instead of a blazing red, his eyes had become a bright pink with a red ring around them "well shit." He whispered "what, what is it?" melissa asked coming to face her son "whats wrong with his eyes?" she asked, she had never seen his eyes that color before "whats going on?" liam asked starting toward them "don't move" he growled, making everyone stop in their tracks "what is it?" stiles asked worried for his best friend.
"he's not sick" derek said after a moment of silence "atleast nothing life threanting" he heard them all let out a sigh of relief "but.." stiles groaned "why is there always a but" he mumbled more to himself before taking a seat "care to explain what is going on with my son?" melissa asked, derek nodded "well it's something that is very rare. It normally doesn't happen but then again scott is not normal" he took a breath to steady himself, he had to get this out quick before it was too late, he could feel the affect scott was having on him and pretty soon the others would feel it "scott has gone into heat"
"heat?" malia asked tilting her head "like a dog?" derek growled, he hadn't that, referring the wolf to a dog was just wrong "wolf. Wolves go into heat too." He glared at the girl, she raised her hand in surrender "yes, I know hes a boy but it happens. Its very rare but its not a bad thing. not really. Heat is a way to help a pack grow" stiles raised a brow "grow the pack? Have you seen his pack. It's pretty big already. Why would he need to grow it?" he was silent for a moment before "wait, does that mean he has to fuck, like a lot?" derek noticed the slight rise in his voice, something he would have to ask about later, maybe.
"yes but he only has two official betas. Liam and hayden." He took a breath , ignoring the last part and realized his mistake a second later, the scent was getting stronger "by why is this happening to him?" melissa asked worried for her son "can we stop it?" derek shook his head "this happens to those who are very kind and nurturing. Scott is both of those, if he was still a beta or maybe a normal alpha this might not have happened but true alpha's..well we don't have much info on them to go by" he gave her a sad smile "and we can't stop it. It has to run its course" he stepped back, not able to take any more, he could feel his eyes flashing "but why are his eyes like that, why isn't he moving?" melissa asked, not aware what was going on around her "he must have held the wolf back, not understanding what was going on he must have locked it up. Now it took over and shut everything down, the only focus is to mate"
Stiles noticed it first before the others "whats going on with you, your eyes keep shifting" he stood up and stepped closer to the older man "his scent. Its reaching out, trying to find its mate. My wolf is reacting, giving off its own scent to see if im a match" they watched as his eyes continued to shift before settling back to normal, derek let out a sigh of relief "I was worried for a moment" he mumbled stepping away from the young alpha "so how do we help?" Allison asked standing up "he needs to mate right?" malia asked, derek nodded "alright ill do it" she took a step forward before he stopped her with a hand around her arm "no, it wont work" he turned to the group "none of you girls can help"
"why can't we?" kira asked, scott was her friend, she loved him. He was her alpha "he needs pups. His wolf needs them" stiles said as he stood up "he needs to fuck a guy?" he asked "no, he needs a guy to fuck him" derek winced at the words, not really wanting to have this conversation in front of the boys mother but it was going to get worse.
Melissa stood up and turned to face the group but as she did she felt a hand grip her wrist. She looked down and found her sons hand holding her, she slowly stood up, all eyes on him. Pink eyes flashing at them all as he turned toward them. HE leaned in close to his mother and sniffed a couple times before butting his head into her shoulder "what is he doing?" she asked confused by his behavior, derek smiled " he's scenting you. he recognizes you as his mother. As the matriarch of the family" he said it proudly, remembering when he and his siblings did it when he was younger, hes seen other betas do the same to his mother.
After a few moments scott stopped and turned toward the others "what is he doing now?" Lydia asked, slightly jealous of the color, she couldn't help but think that it was a very good color on him "he's looking for his mate" he said as he pulled melissa back next to him "you mean one of us?" stiles asked, his voice rising again "look everything can be explained later. Right now I want all of the girls to come over here, the guy go into the living room. He needs to scent all of you"
With out much effort the girls crept over to join derek and melissa, to get out of the way as the boys slowly entered the living room, a few of them looking worried. It was a sight that malia had to laugh at "what?" she barked out between laughs "have you seen their faces, its priceless" she gestured to them. Isaac and Jackson were both pale. Ethan tried to seem relaxed but his eyes kept shifting. Adian looked pissed off. Stiles and liam kept averting their eyes from everyone else, while stiles bounced from foot to foot.
"hey what happens if none of them are his mate?" kira asked, all eyes turned to the older wolf "if none of the mare his mate, then the next few days will be painful for him. It will be like cramps only worse. His body will keep braking itself down and then rebuilding itself until the heat as passed." The girls winced, cramps in general were terrible "let's just hope he finds what he needs" melissa turned to derek "how long will his heat last if he find his mate?" he raised a brow at her "you seem to be taking this all pretty easily considering" she shrugged "I don't think it could get any weirder then my son needed to have a child" he nodded "if he finds his mate they will…" he stopped for a moment "fuck" malia added helpfully "..yeah..well it will last a few days until his wolf his satisfied or he ends up with pups" he shrugged, he wasn't completely sure what was going to happen.
He was brought out of his thoughts when the girls gasped "well looks like he found them" he sighed as he watched scott pull both his mates into him, scenting them. "alright, you two bring him up to his room. Everyone else, I think it might be best if we leave. Unless you wanna stay and watch" he laughed at the scandalized faces.
….
Scott felt like he was dreaming. His limbs were heavy, his thoughts were foggy like when you first wake up from a dream. His sight was tinted pink, he must be asleep. He wasn't sure what was going on but then he smelt it, it smelt like home, smelt like his mom. He turned away from the smell, he was looking for something, that's what his brain kept telling him.
He felt himself walking, not able to see what was around him but he was picking up scents. He closed in on the first one, it smelt like anger. No, no it smelt like pride. Pride and longing, with a hint of Armani. Jackson, he that smell. IT was Jackson, he and danny used the same after shave. He shook his head and walked toward the next smell. IT smelled of strawberries and damp earth. Isaac, Isaac smelled like dam earth, like the forest after it rains it was mixed with Allison's scent. He shook his head, his wolf kept telling him to move on. The third scent was bitter. It smelled of rejection and pain. It also smelt like an oncoming storm, one of the twins, he could tell that much.
The next scent was similar to the last, only instead of an oncoming storm it was the after smell. The son coming out, rain stopping. This was the second twin, scott couldn't make heads or tails of this dream or why he was smelling his pack mates but he continued further.
He took the first sniff and his wolf went crazy. This smell was different from the others, it smelt like a summer meadow, mixed with the hint of rain water. Smelt like he was running through the woods in the middle of fall. He wanted to bury his nose it, wrap himself in the smell, so he did. he allowed the smell to cover him, wrap him up like a blanket meant to keep him safe and warm.
He was beginning to lose himself in the smell when a new one joined in. his wolf telling him to follow it but keep the other scent close. He wasn't sure how to keep a scent close but he did, it seemed like he was reaching out and grabbing hold of the scent to keep it close. The new scent was something altogether, it brought the same feelings as the other scent but it was its own. It smelt like summer rain, mixed with gasoline. It made him feel energized and want to run. The two scents wrapped together, making his wolf howl in gratitude, it made him feel protected. As the scents got stronger he felt himself falling back into a contented state, ignoring everything around him, happy to be at peace for now.
…..
Lydia couldn't stop the giggle from escaping at the sight. Scott was currently holding onto liam and stiles, alternating between nuzzle one than the other "oh I should have seen this coming" derek huffed "I should have known it would be one of them, I just didn't think it would be both" the other boys joined them in the kitchen "has that ever happened before, two mates?" kira asked, a smile on her lips she couldn't help but find it adorable "not that I know of. I don't know how this will affect them later but at least between the two of them it might help the heat along quicker." He shrugged when he earned a few glances "they can take turns" he simply added with a roll of his eyes "alright, we should leave them to it. His wolf is currently scenting the, making sure they are the right ones and then well, you might not want to be around to watch" he picked up his jacket "melissa ill give you a ride to work, I suggest staying over with the sheriff for a few days till this passes." She nodded not really wanted to watch or hear her son in anyway.
Derek turned to the others "do not, I repeat, do not touch or go near them. His wolf will react and attack. Liam might too, once the pheromones affect.." he turned when he heard a moan rip through the younger wolf, to find both him and stiles shirtless, scott leaving marks on their skin "…him. Right, alright lets go" he hurriedly removed melissa from the house, shielding her from what was going on. "yeah lets go" Allison said dragging along Isaac who let out a whine "but I wanted to watch, its kinda hot" she had to agree but kept walking anyway. Lydia was the next one to leave, dragging Jackson and the twins. "dude, he choose stiles and liam over me" Jackson muttered "you? he choose them over us" adian complained as he followed Lydia out, ethan laughing when she glared at them "hey, I'm gay im allowed to enjoy it" he laughed as they got into her car, waving to melissa and the others.
Kira was the last to leave having to removed and overly happy malia "awwww come on. I wanted to watch" she whined as they approached the others, ethan much in the same state "see, why couldn't we stay and watch" he whined, doing his best kicked puppy look. "because you idiots, I didn't wanna risk getting used like a chew toy by the alpha" Lydia said rolling her eyes "not to mention I see them like my little brothers, its just wrong" she shook at the thought "yeah I mean, I find it totally hot and im happy for them but come on, give them some respect" Allison said standing next to her friend, though he eyes seemed to tell a different story. Isaac opened his mouth to speak when they heard a loud howl from inside the house "oh, wow" the shifters shook as if being struck by a wave "what was.." Lydia was cut off by a loud moan, this one human "oh god yes" stiles voice echoed, everyone blushed "umm should we do something, they are going to alert the whole neighborhood" kira spoke up, her face a bright red "I wouldn't even know where to begin" Lydia sighed "maybe close the windows and door we left open?" Jackson said in a moment of helpfulness.
They all stared at each other, mentally deciding who would be chosen for the mission "we'll do it" adian said pointing to him and Jackson "we will?" Jackson asked confused "yes" adian glared at the pale boy "we're the only ones who don't want to be perverts and watch, besides Lydia, and we can do it quicker and safer in case they get a little too riled up". Jackson sighed but nodded, the others watched as they ran back to the house and raced through it, closing all windows. The others were able to hear the noises die down by the time the last window was closed "well at least they can have some dignity left" Lydia said leaning against her car, the others nodding.
A few minutes later the boys rushed back to them, both wide eyed and bright red "what happened to you too?" Allison asked trying not to laugh "we saw way too much" Jackson mumbled "who the hell knew scott was packing" Allison felt her face burn as eyes fell on her "what?" she grumbled "we did date you know" Lydia smirked "how big we talking?" she directed the question to the boys more out of wanting to embarrass them then to actually know.
"dude could put porn stars to shame" adian said raising a brow when ethan choked on his own saliva "not only that, stiles and liam aren't far behind." Adian added "you should have seen it. I mean the things they were doing…" his eyes seemed to glaze over for a moment "…im pretty sure if those two" he pointed his thumbs at malia and ethan "went back in, I don't think they would be coming out anytime soon." Jackson nodded "im straight but even I found that to be hot. Who knew stiles could be so strong, holding scott up against the wall, legs wrapped…" he was cut off by Lydia slapping a hand over his mouth "alright boys, enough. I say we all head out for some dinner, im starved" the others nodded before separating into cars, headed off to leave their friends to enjoy themselves. "you think scott becoming an alpha and biting liam helped them with their impressive size?" Ethan asked before earning a smack from his brother before the cars disappeared around the corner.
