Thank you guys. Please enjoy this story that I made you wait so long for. Love you guys. -Emy
Derek POV
It's been a week since the elves became part of the pack. Anyla and Jeyd have fit in perfectly. The day after they arrived Stiles suggested the girls go on a shopping trip. Since then Anyla has be glued to their hip.
Stiles also suggested that we, the guys, build a playground and a tree house for the cubs in the back yard. We bond a lot with Jeyd, and since he's been glue to Danny's hip.
Today is Monday, which means the pack starts school. I've been dreading today for months.
Lula has decided she can't be without Stiles for long so she will spend the morning with him at school, and the afternoon at home with the cubs.
Anyla and Jeyd have been registered for school. They're 128 years old in elf, but only 16 in human. They didn't have too, but they wanted to be with the pack.
The alarm clock goes off, efficiently waking Stiles. I've been up since 5. Stiles turns off the alarm then turns to me.
"Morning." I say as I lean over to kiss him. We get up and prepare for the day. After the bed is made, we head downstairs together.
We stop at the nursery to check on the cubs. They're running around Lula and Joseph, who are lying between the cribs. When they see us the run to our feet. I squat down and ruffle their fur.
The cubs and I stop on the second floor while Stiles continues to the kitchen. He begins to make breakfast for the pack.
The cubs and I split up to wake the pack. The cubs take their pick and disturb the sleeping wolves. Eventually the pups are awake and taking turns in the bathroom.
I go to the kitchen with the cubs trailing behind me. Stiles is at the stove making bacon and eggs. I kiss him on the cheeks and take over the bacon.
As we finish putting breakfast on the table the pups come down. "Morning Alphas." they all greet.
"Morning Pups." Stiles and I respond. "So who's ready for their first day of school?" I question sarcastically.
They all groan, and eat their breakfast. "What are you going to do all day, Derek?" Stiles asks, while stuffing his face with food.
"I have a cafe/club to run, remember?" I pause to take a spoon of eggs. "We're having job interviews after lacrosse practice, don't forget."
We finish the rest of breakfast chattering about random, useless things. Finally at 7:30 they leave the house.
Joseph and I get the cubs cleaned up, and then take them to the cafe. At Wolf's Den I leave the cubs with Joseph in the middle. I open the cafe and start a long day.
Erica's POV
When we get school everyone is watching us. I guess the whole pack together can attract attention.
We go straight to the cafeteria we're give you your schedule. We separate into the lines. Stiles has us meet up at the door.
Thanks to some assistance for Derek and Sheriff Stilinski we all have at least two other pack members in each class.
Stiles takes a picture of all are schedules, so he knows where we are. We all have lunch together, so we split up, and go to class. This is going to be a long year I thought.
Stiles POV
I've sat through four classes. The teachers just told us what we needed for their classes, and their class rules. After my list was made, I ignored the teachers, choosing to bond even more with Lula.
When we were dismissed for lunch, I went to the back of the school. Lula transformed into wolf form. She nuzzled me goodbye and took off through the woods.
I went back inside once she was gone. In the cafeteria the pack had claimed a table for us. They all greet me as I sit down at the head of the table. (The table is an octagon.) "Hey, pups. I hope you're hungry cause made you lunch." They all cheer as a take it out of my backpack. I made them all ham and turkey subs. (It also has cheese, salami, and baloney.) "Ethan, can you go get us soda from that machine. 7 Pepsi and 7 Dr. Pepper." I hand him a twenty dollar bill as he gets up. "Erica and Isaac, hand out two subs to everyone." They immediately obey.
Danny helps Ethan hand out the soda. Once everyone has one they look to me. I take a bit of my sub, and then the pups begin to eat. We all carry a conversation as we eat. I notice the other people in the cafeteria are staring at us. I let it slide.
After lunch classes go by fast and next thing I know were all climbing into the cars and heading to the cafe.
When we get to Wolf's Den Derek is at the cafe counter pouring someone coffee. I sneak up behind him and plant a kiss on his neck. He turns at the last second and kisses my lips.
We leave the girls in charge so that we can do the interviews. They're twenty people waiting in the middle area. We only plan on hiring 5 to 15 people. Only Cora, Danny, Jeyd, Anyla, and the twins actually work here.
We call them one by one into the office to interview. We look over their application and ask them a few questions. We give them all a trial run before we decide.
We end up employing 15 people. We let them leave with a promise to get them started tomorrow.
I go check on the cubs, while Derek goes get us some coffee. Once the coffee is drained, I merge with Lula and play with the cubs. Derek merges with Joseph and plays with us.
I bolt awake. I look around the room and notice Derek isn't in the office. The cubs are asleep next to Lula and Joseph on the floor.
After a moment I realize what woke me up. My phone is ringing. I pick it up. "Hello?" I answer.
"Stiles," Scott replies through the phone. "We have a problem."
"What do you mean a problem?" I question him.
"We just got back to the house. And... We, we were attacked by something." He says.
I hear someone grab the phone from him. "Stiles, we were attacked on the way home, and whatever it was to Jackson, Erica, and Boyd with it."
I get up, and leave the room, Lula trailing behind me. I go to the cafe and find Derek. "Isaac get everyone into the house. Go to the safe room. Wait for me to get there." I don't wait for an answer before I hang up.
"Safe Room? What happened?" Derek asks me.
"We have a situation. I'll explain on the way. Cora, Danny, and Anyla, stay here and watch the cafe. Don't go home until I give you the okay. Derek, Ethan, Aiden, and Jeyd let's go."
A caught their scent twenty minutes ago. Derek, Joseph, Lula, and I have been following it. The wolves run ahead, as Derek and I run side by side a few meters behind.
"Stiles, Derek there's an empty building up ahead. Their scent stops there." Lula says in our minds.
When we get closer to the building I mask our scent. I motion for us to split up and circle the building. Lula comes with me and we find an entrance from the back. I listen closely and hear Jackson, Erica, and Boyd's heartbeats underneath the building.
"Derek! I found a way in. I can hear them under the building." I call out Derek and Joseph come around the corner.
I open the door and the wolves go in first. We're light on our feet as we go across the empty room to the door that leads to the basement. The door leads into a hall. When we turn the corner we're ambushed by two creatures. They're giant and really ugly. They swing at us with giant baseball bats. They're ogres, I realize.
When it swings the bat again I latch on. The ogre waves the bat to shake me off. It doesn't work; instead I climb up its shoulder. It drops the bat and swats at me. I anticipated that and climbed onto its head. From its head I see Derek doing the exact same thing to the other one.
Derek and I run across their shoulders to each other. The ogres moved with us. At the last second Derek and I jump off as the ogres bump heads, successful knocking each other out.
Once on the ground Derek and I follow our wolves through the door. We go down the stairs and into the room at the bottom.
The room was empty except for Jackson, Erica, and Boyd, who were tied hands first to the ceiling. I went over to cut them down while Derek scouts the room.
I peeled of the tapes from their mouths. Then I heard it. I turn around and find Derek being held by the throat by a Tergon. (A tergon is like a kanima, except it's good and helpful. But it stays in one form. )
The tergon approaches me. It looks into my eyes. "Are you the one they call Gemini?" it hisses.
I watch it carefully. "That depends on if you're going to let us go." I reply. Suddenly it collapses at my feet.
"Please, Gemini, I am ill. The disease is killing my babies. You're the only person who can help." it cries. The tergon let's Derek go.
I reach for him and check him over. Once I know he's okay, I go into action. "Derek get the pups out of here. Call Scott to bring the car. And let Cora know they can go home. Come back here once they're safe." I instructed him.
He gives me a bewildered look, but does as I ask anyway. Once they've gone up the stairs and move towards the tergon. I put my hand on its shoulder and evaluate it.
"I don't know what you have it isn't an ordinary sickness. But I think I have a spell that can heal you." I tell the tergon.
"Please, anything if it means my children are healthy and safe." It replies.
When I look over at Lula she nods in confirmation. "Okay. Let's give it a try, just don't move." I tell the tergon. I place a hand on her shoulder and the other in the middle of her back. Lula hums a tune as I say the spell. "Healium aposefe morta." I say three times for the spell to work.
The tergon's body begins to glow. I look away when it gets too bright. I look back at the tergon when the light dies down. Next to her are three tergon babies.
She stares at them for a moment, then at me. "Thank you, Gemini. You shall be the best Inegerld ruler, and you're children after you." She announces.
At that moment Derek walks back in. "Stiles, it's time to go." He says.
"Will you be alright here?" I ask the Tergon. It nods, and then we leave the room.
When I walk outside everything except for Lula disappears. We're surrounded by orange fog. I hear someone call my name, and then everything goes black.
I'm in the Council throne room when I wake up. I'm lying on a couch in the corner. "Stiles." I hear someone above me call. My vision focuses, and I realize that person is Derek.
"What are we doing here? How did we get here? How are you here? Where's the pack? Where-" I start asking questions before Derek can stop me.
"Alyssa and Meghan transported us from the cafe. They said to let you sleep. But you've been out for hours." He explains. "As for the pack they are with everyone else in the other throne room."
I grab his hand and he leads me out of the room and into a hall. "This an actual place, and not just in my mind?" I question out loud. We were in a castle. It was a giant, magnificent, elegant castle. The halls were decorated nicely with torches or swords hanging every few meters.
"Yes. It happens to be in the middle of North Carolina. It's invisible to anyone or thing that's not supernatural. But your Dad and Melissa can see it." Derek replies.
Derek stops at a pair of grand doors. Two guards open them for us. I enter first. I am surprised to find about fifty people in large groups standing around, and the pack.
I wave to them as the council approaches me. "Well take him from here Derek." Alyssa says, leading me to the thrones at the front of the room.
Krystal sits me in the largest throne in the middle as everyone quiet down. Alyssa stands beside me and speaks. "As you all know Gemini Stilinski was discovered as Inegerld three months ago." She pauses and everyone nods. "We, the council, have started him on the six tasks of Ineger." The people look surprised at this.
Manuel continues next. "Ladies and gentlemen, Gemini, Stiles, has completed all six tasks." He announces.
"Which makes him the First Inegerld King. And on this night we will have his Coronation." Meghan proclaims.
Everyone cheers as Cameron steps forward with the crown. "Repeat after me. I, Gemini Stilinski, pledge to be the King of Inegerlds." He pauses so I can repeat to the people. "I will rule with justice and equality, and protect my people with my life." I repeat it word for word.
He places the crown on my head and the crown erupts in cheers. Someone yells "Long Live King Stilinski!" and everyone picks up. I stand and drag Derek to my side. I give him one long kiss full of love.
