My life had changed so drastically over the last few months, I never imagined that the first person I truly fell for would be a werewolf or that he was my one true love, my mate or that when our best friend Stiles Stilinski dragged out into the woods to look for a body, my twin brother to get bit by an Alpha werewolf then for a lot of stuff to happen including his first girlfriend being from a family of werewolf hunter and was trying to kill him
Or for myself to get bit in the final battle where we finally took down Peter Hale, Derek's Uncle who was the Alpha and who killed a lot of people but that's what happened and now I had to learn to control it so that's why I was currently getting my arse kicked by Derek as he attempted to teach me control and how to fight
"Okay ow" I said from my spot on the floor "You know most guys would go easy on girls especially when their his girlfriend"
"Do you think the Argents are going to take it easy on you if they find out you turned" Derek said holding out his hand for me
"No" I said grabbing his hand but instead of letting him pull me up I pulled him down laughing when I rolled on top of him
"Skye I'm teaching you how to survive"
"I know Derek but it's hard for me, I never asked for this" he sat up wrapping his arms around my waist
"But it's what happened and you need to learn control the full moon is coming and without an anchor it's going to be rough" I nodded then stood up and held my hand out for him but he kicked himself up "Alright come on that's enough of a break, attack me" I started punching him but he would block every move I made "Don't use up all your energy you want quick fast jabs" I felt anger take hold of me and I kicked my legs out but he jumped over them and pulled me into a head lock when my back was turned "What was your mistake"
"I let…let my anger takeover"
"Yes, you need to teach yourself balance otherwise the wolf will take over" he let me go and I rubbed my wrists "Again"
"No, I'm done" I picked up my shirt and water bottle
"Come on Skye"
"Derek I'm tired okay and I only turned two days ago I don't have the stamina you have besides it's already night we've been training for four hours" he sighed picking up his shirt pulling it on and I was sorry to see him cover up "I'll see you later" I went to walk away but he pulled me back
"Aren't you forgetting something" he smiled tapping his mouth playfully making me laugh and kiss him
"Better" I asked
"Much better" he took my hand and we walked to his car when suddenly a scream echoed through the forest and I recognised that scream
"Lydia" Derek looked up at me "Der-bear I have to go" I smiled when he frowned at the nickname
"Skye I told you never to call me that" I laughed and smirked at him because the nickname has stuck and I knew he secretly loved it
"Okay sour wolf" he glared at me but ended up shaking his head at me cracking a smile "Drop me home please" I battered my eye lashes at him and watched him cave, he shook his head then we walked to his car hand in hand making me smile, he dropped me off home
"Remember your first full moon is in two days and you'll need to stay with me that night so you need to think of a reason why you won't be home that night for your mom"
"I know, I will" I quickly pecked his lips before running inside and changed then called Stiles but just as I was about to Scott was calling me so I picked up on the first ring
"Hey Scott"
"Hey Lydia's missing"
"I heard her scream, where are you?" I asked nearly tripping down the stairs because I was trying to pull on my boot at the same time
"Waiting for Stiles at the hospital, he's stealing Lydia's hospital gown so I can track her"
"Alright I'll be there in five" I hung up and quickly ran to the hospital using every ounce of my werewolf speed, I made it just as Stiles was pulling out and ran out in front of the Jeep causing him to slam on the breaks and forcing Scott and Allison to hold on
"SKYE WHAT THE HELL!" Stiles yelled as I laughed and walked over to Scott's side and looked at Allison
"Hurry up get in" Scott said opening the door and letting me jump into the back with Allison and they quickly filled me in
"If she's turning would they actually kill her?" Stiles asked Allison
"I don't know" Allison said "They won't tell me anything all they say is we'll talk after Kate's funeral when the others get here"
"What others?" I asked worried
"They won't tell me that either" she replied
"Okay, you're family's got some serious communication issues to work on, Scott are we going the right way" Stiles yelled to Scott, who had his head out the window sniffing like a dog, I would have helped but I didn't have any control over my abilities or my shift
"Take the next right" Scott yelled and Stiles did as he was told
"She came here?" Stiles asked, as the four of us walked up to the burnt shell of Derek's old house, I didn't like this place anymore it held to many bad memories and I felt a cold shiver go up my spine as I reached for my shoulder where Peter had bitten me
"This is where the scent leads" Scott said
"Alright but has Lydia ever been here?"
"Not with me" Allison said
"Me either" I seconded "Maybe she was using instinct...to look for Derek"
"You mean looking for an Alpha" Scott said
"Wolves need a pack, right?" Allison asked
"Not all of them" I noticed Scott look over at me which made me nervous because I hadn't told him I was Derek's Beta
"But would she have been drawn to an Alpha is it an instinct to be part of a pack?"
"Yeah, we're…we're stronger in packs" I looked at him confused because I knew the draw to an Alpha I had it I'm drawn to Derek now and not just on a personal level
"Like strength in numbers" Allison continued to ask
"No" Scott said "Like we're literally stronger, faster, better in every way"
"That the same for an Alpha?" Allison asked, I looked up waiting for a reply
"It'll make Derek stronger too" I gulped nervously because I'm making him stronger by being in his pack, I really hoped Scott didn't hate me when he found out I was in Derek's pack
"Whoa hey look at this" Stiles said he was kneeling on the ground, holding up a wire Allison and I walked over to him "You see this I think it's a trip wire" he held it up higher and I heard something click
"Stiles?" we heard Scott say behind us
"Yeah buddy" Stiles, Allison and I turned to see Scott, hanging upside down in the air by his leg, inches from the ground "Oh"
"Next time you see a trip wire don't trip it"
"Yeah noted" we walked over to help get him down
"Wait, wait, wait, wait someone's coming, hide, GO!" we ran down the hill, hiding behind some trees, I saw Mr Argent walked up to Scott with two others behind him so I tried to listen into their conversation
"How are you doing" Mr Argent asked Scott kneeling down in front of him
"Good, you know just hanging out" I rolled my eyes at his ridiculous attempt at a joke "Is this one of yours its good, nice design, very constricting"
"What are you doing out here Scott"
"Looking for my friend" Scott replied
"Ah, that's right, Lydia's in your group now isn't she, part of your clique is that the word you use or is there another way to put it, part of your pack" I gulped nervously
"Actually clique sounds about right to me"
"I hope so, cause I know she's a friend of Allison's and one special circumstance such as yourself, one I can handle, not two" huh how about three but obviously I wouldn't tell him that because I was a part of Derek's pack and no doubt he would kill me that's why Derek didn't want the Argent's to know I had been changed, Allison was the only reason Scott was still alive "Scott do you know what hemicorporectomy is"
"I have a feeling I don't want to" Scott replied and I clenched my jaw because I knew exactly what it was and took it as a threat to my twin brother
"It's a Medical term for amputating someone at the waist, cutting them in half, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to cut through tissue and bone like that" Argent made a slicing motion across Scott's waist and I had to keep in control from running over and attacking him because my new werewolf side did not like this conversation "Let's hope a demonstration never becomes necessary" Argent stood and left with his two guys following him and when we were sure they were gone Stiles, Allison and I walked back over to Scott
"Are you okay" Allison asked, as we walked up to him
"It's just another life-threatening conversation with your dad" I spotted a pulley rope system hanging from a tree
"Help me with this" we went over but there was a thud behind us and the rope went slack, Scott had cut himself free
"Thanks but I think I got it" we scoffed at him
"Yeah" Stiles said
"Coming" Scott asked walking towards Derek's old house so we followed after him but we didn't find Lydia though so we ended up giving up and going home I walked into my bedroom and took off my jacket and threw it at my bed
"Ow!" someone groaned so I flipped on my lights to see Derek laying on my bed like he owned the place, my jacket was covering his face
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked him quietly then quickly lit a candle and turned on some soft music, Scott didn't know I had been seeing Derek and I was intent to keep it that way until I was ready to tell him
"I have to have an excuse to see my mate" he replied sitting up, I smiled at the word mate because it warmed my heart every time he called me that
"No you don't" I walked over and wrapped my arms around his shoulders but I noticed the dirt on his shirt
"What have you been doing?" I asked brushing it off
"I was out in the woods" I quirked an eyebrow at him because he knew how dangerous that was, the Argent's wanted him dead for Kate and he had told me to stay out of the woods so why did he go back on his own words
"Why?"
"I was helping someone out"
"That was vague and cryptic, Derek you know you can trust me right" he nodded
"You know I trust you Skyez"
"Then just tell me what you were doing" I wasn't trying to be one of those nosy girlfriends but the fact that he was trying to avoid answering made me that much more curious, he sighed and I instantly felt guilty for pressuring him "Sorry…you don't have to answer" I looked down but he was quick to cup my cheeks and lift my gaze to meet his eyes again
"What have I told you about submitting to me Skye" I let a smile grace my lips as I remembered the first time we trained together
Derek and I were training but I started losing my grip on my humanity and felt myself changing fast, my eyes started glowing gold and I charged at him but he was quick to grab me and flip me over onto my back and he growled at me in an almost silent snarl, I shrank back and scrambled away from him
"What happened?" I asked him
"You lost control" I looked up and saw his Alpha red eyes which made me look down in submission, he was quick to kneel in front of me and lifted my eyes to meet his "Skye hey, I don't want you to submit to me, you might be my Beta but your also my Mate and that also makes you the Alpha Female so no submitting we're equals" I nodded and smiled
"Not to submit to you because were equals" I finally replied
"Exactly" he replied then looked down "I was helping Isaac Lahey"
"You mean Isaac Lahey from school"
"You know him" he asked
"Yeah, he's on the lacrosse team with Scott and he's in my French class too" I remembered Isaac from around school "What did you help him with?" I asked him
"I just offered him out of a bad situation"
"What do you mean?"
"I offered him the Bite"
"The Bite?" I asked backing away from him "Why would you offer him the Bite?"
"Because it can help him and besides I need a pack"
"A pack, I thought that's what I was for?"
"Now that I'm the Alpha, I need to be stronger and I'm stronger-"
"With a pack" I finished for him, I remembered what Scott said earlier
"Yes Betas will make us stronger"
"Us?"
"You are my Alpha female, my mate, more in the pack will help me protect you I don't want anything happening to you ever again" he brushed some hair behind my ear making me smile again and lean into his touch
"Nothing is going to happen to me as long as were together" I climbed into his lap and kissed him "Can I ask why Isaac?"
"Teenagers have a better chance of surviving the bite and his dad abuses him so it would benefit him more" my eyes widened
"Oh my God, you're kidding?"
"No he told me everything"
"Wow, I had no idea about Isaac" I had noticed a few bruises in the brief times I have seen him but I didn't think anything of it, I now wish I had
"He hid it well"
"It's a shame he's a sweet guy" I replied then looked him in the eyes "Just promise me you won't force someone into this and make sure they completely understand the consequences and tell me who you're turning" he nodded
"I promise" he agreed then kissed me "How's Scott reacting to you being with me?" he asked when we separated for air, I looked down nervous and shamefully
"Truthfully, I haven't told Scott or Stiles that were together"
"Why?"
"I swear I'm not ashamed it's just…I don't know if Scott can keep this from Allison, I know she wouldn't spill the secret on purpose but I don't want her to even have that knowledge you know just in case, she doesn't even know I turned"
"The Argent's might already know you're my mate…" I sighed because we know Kate knew but we weren't sure if she had the chance to tell the others yet
"But if they don't know we're together they might think I rejected you or something, anyway what are they going to do they still think I'm human" I said and he looked at me confused then sighed "Which is why I think we should lay low for a little bit"
"You mean not see each other" I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck
"Not like that, I just mean we meet in secret" he stared into my eyes for a little bit before sighing loudly
"So when I get my Beta's" I shook my head
"They can't know, it's not fair that they know when my own twin brother and best friend doesn't" I replied
"Not my ideal relationship" he muttered
"But as long as were together" I added making him look at me "We'll make it work because I believe as long as were together we can do anything" he smiled and nodded
"Okay" he agreed, I placed a gentle kiss on his lips before moving off him and quickly changed into some sleep shorts and a tank top before climbing into bed with him, since the Peter fiasco we haven't spent a night apart, we watched a movie and I must have fell asleep against his chest but when I woke up he would always be gone with nothing but a text reminding me that he was here and it was exactly the same the next morning
"She ate the liver" Scott asked Stiles as we were walking into school, he told us that there was a grave robbery last night and a liver was missing, so far Lydia was our main suspect
"No I didn't say she ate it, I just said it was missing" Stiles replied defending Lydia "And if she did so what, it's the most nutritious part of the body"
"I never ate anyone's liver" Scott said making me laugh
"Ditto brother" I added "In fact the thought of eating someone's liver is nauseating"
"You've been a werewolf for two days Skye, how would you know and when it comes to werewolves you're a model of self-control buddy" Stiles said hitting Scott on the shoulder playfully
"I got bit the same night Lydia did and I'm not feeling the same effects she's feeling, I actually am a werewolf now and I don't really want to go running around naked eating dead people's livers" I reasoned glaring at Stiles
"She's got a point" Scott said nodding "I'd be more concerned about a freshly turned werewolf then someone who's possibly not turning, how are you feeling by the way I know it can get pretty stressful" I shrugged
"I don't know, I'm still kind of numb at the moment"
"Do you want any help?" Scott asked
"With what?" I asked him tilting my head confused
"Like skills or stuff" Scott replied
"I was actually thinking of asking Derek to help me" I said looking anywhere but at him because I didn't want to give away that Derek had already been teaching me
"What" Stiles asked glaring at me "You can't be serious Skye, he destroyed any chance of Scott or you being human again and is the reason Peter bit you I might add"
"He has the most the most experience with this stuff and it's not that I don't trust you Scott it's just that…I know I can learn from him and I know he'll be willing to teach me" I had a feeling that Derek would be able to control me more than Scott could, I also didn't want to hurt him not that I wanted to hurt Derek either but Derek was more suited to teach me since Scott is still learning himself
"Why are you still on the Derek train?" Stiles groaned
"Are you two like together?" Scott asked me wide-eyed, I scoffed
"I'm sixteen years old, I'm a child remember?"
"But you're still going to him for help?" Stiles asked making me sigh
"Just because he's a pain in the ass doesn't mean he can't help me, I still trust him alright?" the two boys rolled their eyes
"Make us a deal okay?" Scott asked me as I raised an eyebrow and looked at him
"Alright" I agreed half heartedly
"If you two end up together just tell us okay?" I felt my stomach twist as guilt flooded my body, I scoffed and quickly made noises with my heels in an attempt to keep Scott from hearing my uneven heartbeat
"I highly doubt we'll end up together, he is five years older than me" I quickly avoided eye contact because I was never a good liar especially to Scott and Stiles
"That didn't stop you from making out with him, why the sudden change in heart?" Stiles asked
"It just wouldn't have worked" I shrugged
"Okay back to the Lydia topic" Stiles said and I was glad to be off the Derek topic because it was hard to lie to them "Actually, wait hold on" he quickly stopped Scott from walking into the school "You're the test case for this, so we should be going over what happened with you"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean like what was going through your mind when you were turning, you know what were you drawn to?"
"Allison" Scott admitted and I smiled as it was the same for me I'm completely drawn to Derek
"Nothing else?" Stiles asked him clearly annoyed
"Nothing else mattered but that's good though, right cause the night that Lydia was bit she was with you"
"Yeah but she was looking for Jackson" just as Stiles said that, we saw Jackson's silver Porsche pull up and he got out, I suddenly got this chill that ran up my spine and to my neck, where it began to burn a little something was different about Jackson, I just didn't know what
Stiles and Scott told me everything Jackson had said at their morning practise as Mr Harris passed a pop quiz out in chemistry class, Harris passed our table so I turned back to the front and handed the extra one to my lab partner I think his name was Matt we had only talked a few times and stuck to our own resources usually
"Okay" I whispered to Scott quietly, he was sitting behind me but I didn't turn "It is causing me serve mental anguish to say this but he's right"
"I know" Scott whispered back
"What if the next body part she steals from is someone alive?" I looked at Matt nervously hoping he couldn't hear any of this but I was whispering so low that I hope only a werewolf would hear
"This is a pop quiz, Mr Stilinski" Mr Harris told Stiles who was sitting next to Scott and automatically assumed it was him talking not us "If I hear your voice again, I may be tempted to give you detention for the rest of your high school career"
"Can you do that?" Stiles asked, giving Scott and I a look that said, I hate you for this
"There it is again your voice, triggering the only impulse I've ever had to strike a student repeatedly, violently I'll see you at 3:00 for detention, you to, Mr and Ms McCall?"
"No sir" Scott and I said simultaneously and I smirked as Scott and I always had a habit of talking at the same time it was a twin thing I guess, just like I used to be able to tell when Scott was having a severe asthmatic attack when we were kids I could just feel it
I quickly went back to my quiz and worked until Jackson ran passed me with a bloody nose, I looked back at his table and noticed a few drops of what looked like black blood on the floor next to his seat it was the same colour of blood Derek threw up when his body was trying to heal itself when Kate shot him I quickly finished the quiz and turned it into Harris then watched as he graded it and smirked as he wrote 100% on the top of the paper when a familiar scent caught my attention and I looked towards the door
"Mr Harris may I use the restroom?"
"Hurry back" he sighed giving me a pass
I scurried out the door ignoring the confused look from Scott and walked towards the restrooms just as I saw Derek walking out of the boy's bathroom I sighed and cleared my throat, he snapped his head towards me and opened his mouth to speak but I shook my head and put a finger to my mouth signalling him to stay quiet then pointed towards my ear and nodded towards the girl's bathroom, he walked into the bathroom I locked the door and turned on the faucet
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to check up on you" I listened to his heart rise and knew that was a signal of a lie so I furrowed my eyebrows
"Liar" I replied and he smiled
"You're learning quickly" I rolled my eyes because I knew we was deflecting from the question
"Who were you talking to in the bathroom, was it Isaac?" Derek nodded
"I wanted to see if he had made up his mind yet" I glared at him
"It's sounds more like you were pressuring him, Derek you promised me…"
"I promised I wouldn't pressure anyone into this and I'm not" he replied cutting me off
"Der, your intimidating and by showing up everywhere he is, he'll feel like he has no choice when he actually does" he held up his hands
"I'll back off okay" I nodded
"Alright" he moved forward to kiss me but growled when I stepped back "Don't growl at me, I can't have your scent on me otherwise Scott will get suspicious"
"This is going to be harder than I thought" he replied making me smile
"I think you can refrain from kissing me for a little bit, now get out of here I have to go to the bathroom and get back to class" I nodded towards the door, Derek nodded and walked towards the door, he unlocked it and glanced at me one last time before leaving
After school I went home and straight upstairs to catch up on the last few day's worth of homework because I had been falling behind given that I had been out late training with Derek and just ignoring it, I was soon getting bored so I walked into my bathroom and washed my face but when I looked back into the mirror I saw Derek making me squeal and jump
"Oh my God, you're going to give me a heart attack one day" he laughed and moved closer
"You should have sensed me before I even set foot in your bedroom, losing your touch already" he asked pinning me to the counter
"No you caught me at a bad time" I replied as he grabbed my waist and lifted me onto the counter
"Why is it a bad time?" he asked me
"I have a mountain of homework to complete and really I can't be bothered with it and it's vexing me" he smirked and flashed his Alpha eyes making my breathe leave me because I loved seeing his eyes they always stirred something deep inside me
"I know something that can help with that" I gulped nervously as his hands travelled up my thighs and underneath my t-shirt, although Derek and I have never been closer we still haven't passed that big boundary yet and in truth I didn't know if I was ready to take that step with him, during weak moments I wanted nothing more than to rip his clothes off but times like this I was…scared to be intimate since it was my first time, his lips met my neck right above my pulse point making me sigh and close my eyes, he took this opportunity to kiss my lips and deepen the kiss our tongues battled for dominance as Derek wrapped his arms around my waist
I broke the kiss for much needed air as he worked on my neck again and ran my fingers through his black hair and pulled his head up to meet my lips once again then pushed the leather jacket off his shoulders and smiled as it hit the ground giving in to my urges, Derek moved his hands towards my shoulders and slid off my open sweater leaving me in a tank top
"SKYE!" I heard Scott yell from downstairs my eyes widened as I quickly held a finger to Derek's lips and turned on the faucet then sprayed air freshener to hide his scent, I had no idea he was home yet
"Yeah?" I asked sliding off the sink and standing at the door, I felt weak at the knees when Derek slowly kissed down my neck before kissing the back of my right shoulder, I jumped when I felt him nip at the skin and looked at him he simply smirked and continued his work as Scott yelled
"I need your help come with me?"
"Where?" I asked fighting the moan in my throat
"I'll tell you on the way there, come on"
"Alright give me a minute I'll meet you outside!" I yelled back, Derek smirked and walked out of my bathroom towards my room luckily I had an in-suite bathroom, I looked at the back of my shoulder in the mirror and noticed the mark he left on me, I threw his leather jacket at him and whispered loud enough for only him to hear "I can't believe you left a mark on me"
"Well, now everyone knows you're mine" I rolled my eyes at his possessiveness
"Now I can't wear tank tops till it goes away, thanks for that"
"It'll go away quickly, I'll just have to move the mark towards the inside of your shoulder blade"
"Why do you feel the need to leave a mark anyway?" he winked and tossed me, my own leather jacket
"It's a territorial thing, just go with it"
"Whatever" I quickly pulled on a pair of flat boots and sprayed my strong perfume on myself to mask Derek's scent "Don't let Scott see you on the way out and hey quick question you wouldn't happen to know anything about Jackson bleeding black blood today would you"
"No why would I" I listened to his heart and it didn't uptick or miss a beat so I smiled
"Okay no worries" I kissed his cheek making sure to make minimal contact then walked out
Scott had dragged me with him to Kate's Funeral so we made our way into the cemetery and quickly slid behind a tombstone watching the Argent's make their way to the dugout grave then as an older man walk up grabbed Matt's camera
"Who the hell is that?" I asked him quietly but Scott shook his head as the old man's voice filled our ears
"This looks expensive"
"Yeah 900 bucks" Matt told him fidgeting as the man continued to move the camera around
"How expensive is this?" the old man asked snapping the battery in half
"I didn't think you could do that" I whispered "This is bad"
"Very, very bad" Scott agreed, the old man walked up to Mr Argent and hugged him
"Christopher"
"Gerard" Chris replied in acknowledgement, Gerard walked over towards Mrs Argent and kissed both of her cheeks as she said
"I'm so sorry" the old man turned his attention to Allison as we heard someone running up to us and sliding on the ground behind us, we turned our heads and looked at Stiles he greeted us but we had already turned back to the scene in front of us
"Do you remember me?" Gerard asked, Allison smiled slightly and nodded her head
"Who the hell is that?" Stiles asked, Scott and I shook our heads just as Gerard turned his head and looked where we were hiding, we all quickly ducked behind the angel statue out of the view of the Argent's
"He's definitely an Argent" Scott told him
"Considering I haven't seen you since you were three" Gerard's voice filled our ears again "I don't suppose I'd assume you'd call me grandpa?" Allison smiled and looked down "So if it's comfortable call me Gerard for the time being but I prefer grandpa" Allison looked over and saw us sitting there, I gently smiled as Scott waved then turned towards Stiles and we both rolled our eyes
"Hey you know, maybe they're just here for the funeral" Stiles suggested causing Scott to look at him "I mean what if they're the non-hunting side of the family there can be non-hunting Argent's, that's possible right?" I shook my head
"I don't think that's what they are Stiles" I replied and Scott nodded
"I know what they are, they're reinforcements" we turned our attention back towards the funeral but a few seconds later, I felt Scott and Stiles being lifted away from me, I gasped as I turned and faced Sheriff Stilinski
"Ah…the three of you" he groaned angrily "Unbelievable" he started to drag the two boys away and motioned for me to follow "Pick up my tie" he told Stiles when he noticed it fell to the ground
"Got it" Stiles said picking it up "Sorry, I know I'm supposed to ask" I hung my head but looked up when I sensed eyes on my back as we walked behind the Sheriff, I turned around and my eyes met the cold dark brown ones of Gerard, he tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face Chris noticed Gerard staring and looked over at me to
"Skyler" the sheriff called out causing me to jump and look over at Stiles' dad "Now!" I nodded and caught up with them hearing the conversation between the two men sitting down
"Who was that?" Gerard asked
"Skyler McCall, one of Allison's friends, she also happens to be Derek Hale's mate" I sighed because Derek and I hadn't told anybody else about that so Kate must have told him and now Gerard knew which I knew wasn't a good thing
"Ah I see, does she know?" Gerard asked him
"No"
"But he does and that's all that matters"
"She's human" Argent said
"…For now" I took several deep breaths to calm my racing heart and continued to walk behind the Sheriff
We sat in the back of the Sheriff's police cruiser and I sighed as Scott started playing with the roof in the car on my left, I was in the middle playing solitaire on my phone and Stiles who was on my right was looking out the widow bored out of his mind we looked up when the radio buzzed
"4-1-5 ADAM" an officer said
"I didn't copy that" Sheriff Stilinski said "Did you say 4-1-5 ADAM?"
"Disturbance in a car" Stiles whispered to us
"Copy that" the officer on the radio said "They were taking a heart attack victim DOA but on the way to the hospital something hit them"
"Something hit the ambulance?" the Sheriff asked
"Copy that, I'm standing in front of it right now something got into the back there's blood everywhere and I mean everywhere"
"Alright unit 4 what's your 20?"
"Route 5 and post, I swear I've never seen anything like this" Scott and I looked at each other than nodded our heads, I nudged Stiles and we scrambled out of the car and ran towards the woods, it was dark by the time we reached the scene of the accident, we laid on our stomachs on a small hill and looked at the bloody ambulance
"What the hell is Lydia doing?" Stiles asked, I shook my head but didn't respond, Scott let out a breath
"I don't know"
"What kept you from doing that, was it Allison?" Stiles asked looking at Scott
"I hope so" Scott replied
"Do you need to get closer" Stiles asked us as Scott and I both sniffed the air quickly catching the scent of the werewolf
"No I got it" Scott told him
"Me too" I nodded my head then started to pull away but Stiles grabbed Scott's jacket
"I just…I just need you to find her all right, please just…just find her" Scott nodded his head
"We will" we ran off in the direction the scent was leading us but before we got too far I stopped Scott
"Scott, I can't transform" I told him
"What, why not?"
"I don't know if I'll be able to control it yet and I don't want to risk anything I have a feeling the Argents will be out here tonight and they think I'm still human, if I transform I don't know if I'll be able to pull back" without Derek I wanted to add but couldn't, Scott nodded
"If it comes down to it, I'll do the fighting, just try and keep up" I nodded and we ran deeper into the woods, we stopped at a tree to make sure we were on the right track when something moved out of the corner of my eye I gently nudged Scott and nodded towards the moving mass he transformed and ran after it dropping to all fours and was faster than I could keep up I stopped running when I heard a twig snap behind me and Derek's scent filled my nose as I turned around and nearly ran into his chest, I backed up a few feet and looked at him
"What are you doing out here?" Derek asked me
"Trying to find Lydia, she attacked an ambulance not far from here" I replied and quickly followed him in the direction Scott had disappeared in
"That's not Lydia, it's an Omega"
"What's that?" I asked not familiar with the term
"A lone werewolf, probably looking for a pack" he replied as we walked towards Scott's scent, I let out a quiet gasp as I noticed a strange werewolf hanging from his wrists as Scott was at his feet, Derek pulled me over to Scott then threw him several feet away, the lone werewolf stopped and looked me straight in the eye and I felt my eyes flash bright gold and in that instant I felt utterly alone and unwanted but before I could speak I was hauled away from the struggling werewolf towards Scott and the feeling was gone, Derek pulled us behind a tree holding us both
"What are you doing?" Scott asked struggling against Derek's hold "I can help him"
"They're already here" Derek told him
"I can help him"
"Quiet!" Derek whispered and tugged me closer towards Scott keeping a hold on the back of my jacket, I grabbed a fistful of Scott's shirt and a part of Derek's jacket when the hunters came into view
The werewolf hanging by his wrists snarled every time Argent took a step close to him then finally the hunter electrocuted the werewolf forcing him to shift back into a human, I let out a small sound of discomfort as the man started screaming in pain and felt Derek tighten his grip on my jacket when he heard my discomfort
"Who are you?" Chris Argent asked when the werewolf didn't answer he continued "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing" the man said "Nothing I swear"
"You're not from here are you" Chris asked him but again got no response "ARE YOU?" he yelled
"No" the stranger said "No I came…I came looking for the Alpha, I heard he was here that's all, look I didn't do anything I didn't hurt anyone, no one living he wasn't alive in the ambulance he wasn't I swear"
"Gentlemen!" Gerard called out to the other hunters "Take a look at a rare sight" he turned towards Chris "You wanna tell them what we've caught?"
"An Omega!" Chris answered him
"The lone wolf, possibly kicked out of his own pack or the survivor of a pack that was hunted down, maybe even murdered and possibly alone by his own choice, certainly not a wise choice" we watched as Gerard walked towards a rock behind him and slowly pulled out a sword then walked back towards the dangling werewolf "Because as I am about to demonstrate" the old man continued "An Omega rarely survives…on his own" Gerard swung the sword and sliced through the werewolf severing his lower half, I gasped and shut my eyes when I felt several emotions run through me all at once: fear, panic, sadness, loneliness and most of all pain
Derek gently pulled me away from Scott and pushed me towards the ground slightly behind them keeping a hand on my shoulder as I felt my eyes shift to the bright gold, I tried to calm myself down but I couldn't
"Look, look, look at them" Derek said forcing Scott to look, I looked up to "You see what they do, this is why you two need me why we need each other, the only way to fight them is together" I knew he included me in that to keep up the charade that we weren't together and that I wasn't in his pack
"What are they doing?" I asked trying to keep myself in control
"Declaring war" he answered pushing Scott away from the scene then gently picked me up and walked through the woods, I laid my head on his chest and breathed in hoping his scent would calm me down
"What happened to you Skye" Scott asked when we were far enough away, I shook my head and looked up as Derek put me down on my feet
"I don't know"
Derek dropped Scott and I off home and I watched him sped away but wasn't surprised when I walked up into my bedroom to see him sitting on my leather lounge chair, I quickly lit a vanilla candle in my room hoping it was enough to mask his scent from Scott
"Are you ok?" he asked, I shook my head and walked towards him
"I don't know" I sighed sitting on my bed
"What happened" I shrugged
"I don't know, I can't explain it" he grabbed my hand and entwined our fingers
"Try" he encouraged
"The hunters don't know that I know I'm your mate, they think only you know"
"What was said?" he asked
"Gerard asked who I was…"
"Why were you even near him?" he asked cutting me off
"Scott dragged me to the Kate's funeral to support Allison, I'm all about supporting a friend but I would have preferred to do it from a distance, like a card or something anyway Chris explained who I am and what I am to you and Gerard asked if I knew the answer was no and Gerard said that you knew and that's all that matters then Chris reminded him I'm human and Gerard said for now"
"They're waiting for me to turn you" he sighed
"Which means they're going to be watching me even closer than usual…perfect just what I need when I'm learning how to control this" I collapsed back and closed my eyes sighing loudly
"Is that all that's bothering you?" I shook my head and felt him lie down next to me but could still feel he was looking at me, I opened my eyes to see him lying next to me on his elbow staring into my eyes so I turned and copied his stance
"Something happened with that werewolf when I looked into his eyes, a sudden feeling of being alone and unwanted came over me but when you pulled me away it was gone then when he was cut in half I was bombarded with emotions…emotions that weren't mine"
"And you started to turn" Derek nodded
"That's not the point I don't understand what happened!" Derek shook his head and gently pulled me towards him
"I don't know what happened either, I'll look things up and figure this out ok?" I sighed and nodded then snuggled myself into his chest and breathed in his calming scent that had a way of making me relax and forget my troubles even if it was just for a minute
"Will you say with me" I didn't really care if Scott found out anymore, I needed Derek right now
"Yeah, let me run back to my place and grab clothes for tomorrow"
"Or we could just go there, I need peace and quiet" he seemed hesitant "Please" I begged he sighed
"What about your mom"
"I'll be back before she notices, she's on late shift and won't get back till early morning" he nodded and we quickly jumped out the window, I smiled and threw my hands up when I landed quietly making him chuckle softly "What I've always wanted to do that"
He led me to his car which was parked down the street near the woods, he opened the door for me making me roll my eyes since he always did that then he drove to an abandoned part of town and parked at some sort of warehouse then lead me through a big steel door, I walked down a pair of old wooden stairs behind Derek and looked around and realised it was some old train warehouse of some sort
"This is place is creepy" I sighed as my eyes scanned the old subway station and realised he was staying here "Please tell me you're not actually staying here?" Derek nodded his head
"Yeah I am" I looked over at him "It's secluded and abandoned…"
"Hmm…would've never guessed that" I responded sarcastically
"You know you're sassier as a werewolf" he scoffed
"Yeah well, now I've got the bite to back up the bark so I figured what the hell?" he laughed
"Clever pun" I smirked
"I try" I walked around and ran my finger along one of the boxes my nose crinkled up in disgust as I saw the layer of dust I pulled up from the box "I think my house warming gift to you will be a duster…make that four dusters"
"It's not a four star hotel but it's something, I need it for training purposes"
"Whose training?"
"Well for starters yours…"
"Derek, I'm not training in this place…can we find somewhere else?"
"Like where?" he asked quirking an eyebrow at me
"I don't know…the preserve seemed to do pretty well these last couple of days"
"It's going to be too risky Skye, the Argents are going to be all over the preserve on high alert and I don't want them finding out about you" I nodded but remained silent and just as I was about to say something Derek turned and I saw a boy walking out of the train car "Skyler, this is Isaac" Derek said
I waved nervously because I had no idea what Derek had told him and how much he knew also I had told him that we weren't going to tell the other Beta's about us but I didn't know how we could explain us showing up here together or talking about my training so he would know I was a werewolf
"Hi" Isaac said nervously
"Hi" I replied holding my hand out "Skyler McCall but call me Skye" I saw Derek glare as Isaac took my hand and shook it, I rolled my eyes
"Are you two?" Isaac asked pointing at us, I looked up at Derek nervously because I didn't want anyone to know especially if Scott and Stiles don't know but he just looked at Isaac with his signature scowl
"Yes so hands off" Derek growled making me roll my eyes and slap his chest
"Derek be nice" I scold
"Whatever" he shrugs but when I stared at him, he sighs "Fine" I smiled and pecked his lips giving in
"By the way no one else is to know about Derek and I" I said looking at Isaac, he nodded trying to avoid Derek's gaze "Especially my brother Scott and Stiles" he nodded making me smile, it was then I realised that Isaac had been bit as that was the only reason I could think up on why he was here, I looked up at Derek and he nodded seeming to confirm my thoughts so I smiled at Isaac and somehow I could feel that he was pack
A/N: Some of you have asked if Skye has had past relationships and the answer is no which I have clarified more in this chapter, Derek is her first real realationship adn her first love, as for Skyrek babies it wont be anytime soon since Skye is only sixteen but I might do an after Story of sorts or add an epilogue to the end of my last story in this series
