"Faster!" Alex yelled from across the clearing in the woods. Scott, Isaac, Jackson, Boyd, and Erica all charged at him again for what was the millionth time that day. Alex disappeared from view with the turn of his body but the group stood their ground.
"Right here." Alex whispered from behind Scott. Scott whipped around and slashed the log Alex held that was meant to represent a hunter. Alex disappeared from view again and this time appeared in front of Jackson.
"Your guard is down." Alex pointed out with a smile.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Jackson replied confidently with a smirk. Jackson's tail was surrounding Alex's feet and at that moment they constricted them, Alex unable to move. Alex tried to claw him but the now fully transformed Kanima lifted Alex up and threw him across the clearing towards Erica. Boyd kicked him up and Erica grabbed him by the neck.
"Very nice team work." Alex complimented the group, but kicked Erica backwards and as he landed on the ground he swept Boyd's feet, making him fall.
"Your guard is down." Isaac whispered mockingly in his ear from behind him. Alex's eyes widened but before he could turn around, Isaac had him by the neck and brought him to the ground and pinned him down.
"Stop it, this is turning me on." Alex whispered back, catching Isaac off guard. This gave Alex the chance to get out of his grip and pin him against the ground.
"Sorry, did I hurt you?" Alex asked, winking at Isaac, who was now looking up at him. Alex locked eyes with Isaac as he felt his heart flutter.
"Hey lovebirds, break it up!" Erica shouted. Alex released Isaac, stood up, and turned to the group, trying to hold back the blood from rushing to his face but not doing a very good job at it. Alex and Isaac felt more comfortable around each other. The more time they spent together, the more they felt something special.
"Good job, you managed to defeat me. Soon enough, I'll have to start going all out instead of holding back. You guys are progressing at a fast pace."
"What? You totally put effort in that last one!" Isaac commented as he wrapped his arms around Alex's waist from behind. It had been two weeks since the pack was told about the rogue hunters and Derek left it up to Alex to train them because he knew that Alex had the patience that he lacked to teach them what they needed in order to stand a chance against the hunters. Derek had to physically condition himself for the upcoming war. As the Alpha he had to protect his pack at any cost. Alex trained with Derek alone and they would go all out. Alex always being the one that would come out victorious but Derek made him promise not to speak of their training to anyone. Alex understood that he thought the pack would respect him any less if they knew that Alex wiped the floor with him. The Alpha was supposed to be the strongest of the pack but Derek knew he wasn't ready. But he didn't have to let his pack know that.
"Incoming!" Allison shouted from up in a tree. An arrow flew in from her direction and landed in the middle of the clearing.
"Nice shot, maybe next time you might want consider aiming it right." Erica said annoyed as she turned around to face her.
"Allison never misses…" Scott said under his breath and slightly confused to why Allison would shoot in the middle of the clearing. Just then the arrow exploded with a bright flash. The group was now blinded as they realized Allison's plan. Everyone except for Alex who knew what she had planned the whole time.
"I never miss….. bitch" Allison laughed. She didn't train with the rest of the wolves because she didn't like using her wolf side unless it was the only option left, sort of a last resort. She was also still getting used to running around half naked amongst her boyfriend and friends. Alex had also been teaching Allison to masterfully control her werewolf side. He told her to avoid changing overall so that she wouldn't get used to it. She avoided being home on the weekends and when she was home she'd lock herself in her room and say she was studying. Her plan was working and her family had no idea that she was now a werewolf. She wondered how long she could keep it that way. With a family of hunters, it's only a matter of time.
A couple seconds passed and the group could see again but it wasn't long till they were on the move because now throwing knives were flying towards them. Alex lead by example and stood his ground, dodging all knives that were thrown at him.
"Aiming for vital organs, very impressive!" Alex noticed. Lydia had become a force to be reckoned with. Another arrow landed in front of Alex and he noticed that this one was another blinding one. With one quick movement he grabbed the arrow and threw it towards Lydia. Gunshots went off, which exploded the arrow exploded before it could reach her, but however it still blinded her.
"Stiles, your precision with those twin pistols is improving." Alex noted. Allison taught Stiles how to handle ballistic weapons and Stiles' weapon of choice were twin pistols. At that moment Allison shot another arrow his way which he easily avoided by flicking it out of the way. Everyone was still impressed by Alex's abilities even after two weeks of seeing them up close. Alex quickly back flipped to dodge the two bullets that Stiles shot when his attention was occupied by deflecting the arrow. Eyes flashing bright blue, fangs exposed as he landed.
"Alright, enough." Derek stepped in as he appeared from behind a tree. The pack wondered how Derek was able to go undetected by anyone.
"They're good." Alex simply said. He was excited to see just how good they would be after two more weeks of practice. Derek, satisfied with Alex's progress report, nodded his head, and turned around to walk away.
"Derek!" Stiles called out but the Alpha didn't pay him any mind. The past two weeks consisted of Derek ignoring him without any reason. Stiles sighed in exasperation and rolled his eyes.
"He has a lot on his mind. Right now he probably feels like he has the world on his shoulders. I mean, he's the Alpha which means that if one of us dies then it's his fault for not protecting us and he'll never live it down. Give him time." Alex spoke to Stiles. Alex knew the pressure Derek was under. He felt it too. Derek couldn't handle what he felt for Stiles and still prepare the pack for the hunters. He had to keep everyone safe and alive first and foremost. Stiles sighed, knowing that what Alex said was true but it bothered Stiles that Derek couldn't even tell him that himself.
Stiles eyes open rapidly as the alarm on his phone went off. All the hours he had put into training caught up to him so he decided to take a nap to physically prepare himself for the lacrosse game that night. Stiles was grateful that the game was on a Saturday night and he actually had time to train and sleep. He sat up on his bed, looked around and to his surprise, Alex was nowhere in sight. There was a note on his nightstand from Alex saying that Isaac wanted to take him out to eat before the game.
"Oh man." Stiles spoke to himself. It was obvious that Alex was totally into Isaac and it was no secret that Isaac felt the same. Just then, Derek popped into his head. He denied Derek's offer for the bite despite his want to have Derek's mouth on him. He had been thinking a lot about Derek the past two weeks and he couldn't help but smile every time he did. Stiles stood up and made his way to his dresser and took out a blue and orange stripped shirt. His thoughts took him back when he told Derek to change shirts in front of Danny so that he could get what he wanted out of Danny.
"Hehe, cousin Miguel" Stiles laughed to himself. He enjoyed the moment and if it weren't for Danny being in the room, he would've attacked Derek right then and there. His phone ringing brought him out of his memories. It was Scott reminding him that he left his gear at his house so he would bring it to school to give it to him.
"Whatever." Stiles commented. He wasn't in any sort of rush, there was still two hours till the game. Once again, his thoughts went to Derek, and this time his imagination kicked in and slowly undressed the Alpha mentally. Stiles couldn't help himself at this point and sat down in his computer chair, hands going straight for his rapidly hardening dick. He started to imagine Derek pushing him up against his bedroom wall and pinning him down as he has done countless times in a more threatening manner then sexual but Stiles couldn't help but get hard thinking about those times as well. Then, He thought of Derek kissing his neck and teasingly biting down on it as Stiles wrapped his legs around the Alpha's waist. Stiles stood up and slid down his sleeping shorts, along with his underwear and his hands went back to work. Thoughts of Derek moaning Stiles' name in pleasure as Stiles grinded up on him had Stiles actually moaning. He imagined Derek pushing him on his bed and ripping off all the clothes that kept their skin from touching and Derek rubbing both their erections together. Rhythmic and steady strokes turned violent and erratic as he imagined Derek commanding him to go down on him. Stiles felt his body start to thrust against his own touch, his breathing turning short and soft moans.
"Derek…" Stiles managed, licking his lips and feeling himself about to explode in pleasure.
"Stiles, what are you doing?" A voice called from behind him. Stiles jumped up in terror, releasing his dick. Stiles knew exactly who it was and turned his chair towards the direction of the voice he was just imagining.
"Derek, how'd you get in?" Stiles asked, then realizing his window was open. Derek didn't answer but looked down at Stiles' still exposed erection. Stiles noticed what he was looking at and quickly fumbled to pull his shorts back up, face flushed red. He wondered how long Derek had been standing there but was too embarrassed to even think straight. Derek smelled Stiles arousal before he even got to see what the boy was doing first hand. Derek turned away from Stiles to give him some sort of privacy.
"I came to talk to you but I guess you're a little busy. See you at the game." Derek explained, not able to get the sight of Stiles naked out of his head.
"Mmmhmmm." was all Stiles could manage and as he watched as Derek climbed out the window and disappeared from sight. Derek had finally wanted to talk to him after two weeks of not even acknowledging him and he blew it.
"Hey Stiles, sorry to waltz in without knocking but I forgot my phone."
Stiles didn't even hear Alex opening the front door, the embarrassment dulling his senses.
"You aren't the only one." Stiles absently said, still looking at the window. Alex didn't catch what he said but looked over at him after he got his phone.
"Are you okay there Stiles? I didn't walk in at a bad moment did I?"
"No, not at all." Stiles got out after a couple of seconds.
The lacrosse game was about to start and Alex, Lydia, Erica, and Derek were all sitting together at the back the bleachers. Alex and Lydia were talking about Lydia's "Jackson problems" while Erica was trying to make conversation with Derek but his silence quickly shot her down.
"Hey look, its little miss hunting werewolf and her unknowing hunter family," Erica pointed out in a sassy tone. Allison was at the foot of the bleachers with Gerard, her father, and her mother.
"Allison, over here!" Alex called out to her. The other three who were sitting with him whipped their head to him.
"Are you some kind of stupid?" Erica hissed.
"Alex, you just called a group of hunters over. What are you thinking?" Derek explained, careful not to make it sound like he was calling him stupid like Erica had.
"I called Allison over, not her insane family." Alex's eyes flashed bright blue as he spoke the words, eyes looking into space. Gerard caught Alex's eye and to his surprise the old man was staring at him. Allison turned to her mother and father, asked if she could go sit with her friends, and her mother gave her one small nod and looked up to the group and gave them a death stare.
"God, her mother is one scary bitch." Lydia commented as she waved at Allison's mother. Allison made her way over to them and sat next to Alex. Gerard and Alex still having a stare down as the announcer came on and introduced the two teams that were walking onto the field. Gerard finally looked away as Allison's family took their seats in the front.
The game raged on, Scott, Jackson, Isaac, Stiles, and Boyd were all out on the field. The coach had talked to Boyd after the game he took part in and made him part of the team. Alex, Lydia, and Allison were all cheering for the guys and they even got Derek to stand up and cheer for Stiles. Derek still felt bad that he had been ignoring the boy and who wouldn't cheer on Stiles actually PLAYING in the game.
"Ugh, you guys are so annoying. Sit your asses down and shut up." Erica complained.
Allison turned to Erica, "Well excuse us for showing some spirit at a high school sporting event! No need for you to even be here anyway…" Erica growled at Allison low enough for only Derek, who was too busy cheering, to hear.
"I'll be right back I totally forgot my sweater in the car." Alex moved his way out to the steps of the bleachers and gracefully made his way down and to the parking lot.
"Wait, Alex doesn't have a car. Isaac walked with him here." Lydia informed the rest. Allison looked down at her family and noticed that Gerard was missing.
Gerard noticed Alex's leave exit and stood up and followed him out, saying he had to get something from his office. Gerard was following Alex but Alex pretended not to notice him and stopped at his car. Gerard then drew a knife from the sleeve of his coat and was about to dig it into Alex's back when the werewolf disappeared from view. Gerard's eyes widened and started to look around for the wolf.
"You know, for a hunter, you aren't really sneaky. I could hear your heart from a mile away." Alex whispered from behind him. Gerard whipped around and gave Alex a sly smirk.
"For a werewolf, you aren't really cleaver. You know that a hunter, much like a wolf, travels in a pack."
Alex looked around and three hunters appeared from behind other cars. Gerard raised his hand but hesitated.
"Good luck." He told Alex with a smile as he brought his hand down as he walked back to the bleachers. The hunters were now running towards Alex but he flickered out of view. The hunters all stopped in their tracks and looked around to see where Alex had disappeared to.
"You hunters are really not worth killing." Alex sighed as he appeared behind one and hit him across the neck, knocking the hunter unconscious. The other two threw electrical nets at him which he easily avoided by moving out of the projectile range. Alex's eyes flashed bright blue and he was gone the next second. The hunters stood their ground and watched their backs but Alex grabbed both of them from the collar, swung them around, and threw them away from each other, both landing harshly on the pavement and unable to move.
"Too easy." Alex chuckled and headed back to watch the end of the game. Gerard looked over and saw Alex, who didn't even have a single scratch on him, give him a smirk and make his way back up the bleachers. Gerard was shaken seeing as those were three of his best men but quickly turned his attention back to the game. He had to approach this new wolf with his best as he seems to already have outsmarted him.
"Alex…" Derek began as Alex took his seat.
"These hunters are too easy to fight, too predictable." Alex settled down and just as then Isaac made the winning shot and the crowd went wild.
At the end of the game, the team went to the locker rooms and Erica, Lydia, Alex, and Derek said their goodbyes to Allison, whose parents still had her on lockdown from Scott, and they met the guys in the parking lot.
"How were we?" Boyd asked rhetorically.
"Beyond amazing!" Alex exploded. This was his first time watching a Lacrosse game so he was pretty excited. He hugged each guy to congratulate them but stopped in front of Isaac, confused as to why Alex wasn't giving him a hug.
"But you were perfect." Alex moved into Isaac's arms and Isaac felt the feeling behind it and kissed the top of his head.
"Where's Allison?" Scott asked, looking around. He had seen her taking her seat in the bleachers and was expecting her.
"Still on lockdown. Gerard and Alex had a little encounter." Lydia explained as she crossed her arms as Jackson wrapped his arms around her from the back.
"Wait, what?" Isaac exclaimed as he looked down at Alex.
"It was nothing. He called three hunters over to attack me and I just knocked them out."
The group stayed quiet but they were all thinking that now Gerard will be on the offensive once again and they had to start to be more careful. Derek moved towards Stiles and motioned for Stiles to follow him and Stiles walked away with him.
"Derek…" Stiles began when he felt they were far enough from the group so that they wouldn't listen in.
"I'm sorry Stiles"
Thrown off guard, he licked his lips, "it's okay Derek. I mean knocking next time would be appreciated."
"No, I'm sorry for avoiding you." Derek said as he lifted his gaze to meet Stiles'. Stiles was left without a word to say which doesn't happen often, so he stayed silent to see if Derek would continue.
"I've had a lot to worry about. Those rogue hunters, the Argents are going to be another problem once they find out that Allison was turned, protecting an entire pack, there is so much going on but that is no reason to ignore you. I can't do this all by myself, I can't stand to be alone through this and-"
Suddenly Derek was cut off, not by Stiles talking or a pack member interrupting them, but by Stiles' lips on his. Derek held himself back for a couple of seconds to sort out what was happening but melted into the kiss, arms on Stiles' waist. The kiss lasted long enough for Derek to forget what he was talking about and Stiles stepped back.
"Derek, shut up."
