Chapter 3: Pack Meeting

Stiles POV

"WHAT!? Why would you want STILES as you MATE!?"-Erica

"Is this why we came over here?"-Boyd

"Great job breaking it gently Stiles."-Scott

They all began speaking at once. The only one who didn't say anything was showing signs of an impending freak-out from all the screaming. I got up and moved over to Isaac where he was trying to blend into the couch. When I put my arm around him and he burrowed closer I could hear the small whimpers coming from him and that was the last straw. NO ONE was going to hurt my pup, not if I had any say in it.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed as I jumped up, "That's enough! Derek you better get control of the pups or I will, and no one will like that. And Scott you better be quiet and behave, I still haven't decided your punishment from last night." As I sat back down I pulled Isaac closer to me and tried to quite his whimpers.

"Erica, you may not like my choice in a mate but you will respect it. You will respect me as your alpha and you will respect Stiles, because like it or not he is the alpha's mate and pack mom; he ranks higher than you in this pack and I will not stand by and let you talk down to my mate. I'd advise you to keep your comments to yourself if you want to continue to breath. Yes Boyd that is why we are here and for the foreseeable future after Stiles and I talk to his father we will probably be eating breakfast and dinner here and all future pack meetings will be here." As Derek talked to the pups I got one arm around Isaac and used the other one to run my fingers through his hair. As I held him I tried to quite his whimpers and by the time Derek was done talking I had a lap full of one very contented pup.

"Erica, why do you have such a big problem with me being Derek's mate? Did I do something to you?" I question while wrapping my arms tighter around Isaac—the stressful environment wasn't good for a former abuse victim.

"You can't be Derek's mate. You're not a wolf and you can't give him pups. I'm the best one for Derek to pick, not a teenaged boy." Erica said as her eyes flashed golden.

"Wait a minute, you don't want me to be Derek's mate because YOU want to be his mate instead? Why!? You don't even love him! I love Derek and want to be with him you don't love him why would you try to take him away from me?" I was so confused I thought Erica liked Boyd

"Stiles, you have to know I love you I would never let her come between us." Derek was pacing now I could tell he was getting very upset.

"I know big guy, I know." I tried my best to reassure him before Erica began her explanation.

"I have to be Derek's mate don't you understand? I'm the only female wolf around and I have to please my alpha. My wolf wants us to give him strong pups for the future and as female beta the role falls to me." Erica explained and it suddenly and sense to me.

"Erica just because you're the only female beta doesn't mean you have to be the alpha's mate. We don't keep you around to be a breeder you don't love Derek and I know he's not your mate. Your wolf just wants to secure her place in the pack but Erica we would never kick you out for not being the alpha's mate. I am the alpha mate and you have a mate already just be with them and if you decided to have kids well then have kids if not don't but you don't have to have pups just to be welcome in our pack." I said

"Erica has a mate!? Who is it?" Scott exclaimed

"Yes she has a mate so do you and so does Isaac and so does Boyd. And as to who her mate is well it's none of your business…..i thought I told you to behave?" I questioned receiving a sheepish grin in response.

"Well if no one has anymore questions I think that's enough excitement for one day. Everyone head home. Isaac and Derek stay. Scott don't go over to Allison's today and I expect you and your mother over for dinner. We will be telling her and my dad at the same time. Alright people lets get a move on." When Isaac went to pull away I wrapped him up tighter and pulled him closer until he relaxed again and I held out my hand to Derek which he took as he sat down beside me and my lapful of Isaac

"Fine Stiles. I'll be over tonight with Mom. Are you sure I can't go see Allison?" Scott was whining now.

"Punishment remember? Besides you always lose track of time when you're with her and miss important meetings." I told him as I leaned back against Derek. He wrapped his arm around me and settled it on Isaac's back, who was practically purring from all the attention from his alpha and pack mom.

Scott left followed by Boyd who hadn't said anything after his initial question leaving only Erica standing there.

"Did you really mean it Stiles? I can stay even if I'm not alpha female?" Erica questioned

"Yes I meant now we'll have a longer discussion later but for now go ahead and head home." I told her.

Once Erica was gone I turned and looked down at Isaac.

"Are you okay with this Isaac?" I questioned.

"Yea. I always wanted a mom, Mom." Isaac answered as he snuggled into me.

"Well as great as these cuddles are from my two favorite guys, my mate and my pup, Derek you need to head out and get ready for tonight. There's a list on the counter of stuff I need if you don't mind getting it for me?" I asked

"Sure. Need anything else?" Derek asked.

"Just grab Isaac a change of clothes from the station, and bring something comfy for both of you and you can stay here tonight if you want to. For now I'm going to go lay down and take my baby pup with me and get in some awesome cuddles if he wants?"

"I'll grab the stuff and I'll stay tonight. Anytime I can spend time with my mate I will. So how 'bout it Isaac? You staying?" Derek says as he gets up and grabs my list.

"I'll stay tonight. And I can stay now too…..Mom? Can I call you that?" Isaac ask as he stands up to let me up.

"Of course you can stay, and you can call me that if you want." I scent mark Isaac's neck and let him do the same before sending him up to my room to get in bed before going to tell Derek goodbye,

"I'll miss you. I love you. *kiss* I'll be waiting for you, see you later?" I kissed Derek's neck as I nuzzled him while scent marking him.

"I love you too and I'll miss you too but it's just for a while." He said before nuzzling me and scent marking me back. Before he left he took off his jacket and wrapped it around me for 'scent and comfort' before pulling me close and kissing me deeply.

I love this man. I waved as he drove off before walking in and going upstairs to my baby pup.

Now we just had to survive dinner and all the revelations it brought with it.

AN: Next up dinner with the family and night time cuddles with Derek and Isaac
