The Curious Case of Corey Bryant
Fusedtwilight: Hey guys! Hope you have all enjoyed the story. This is the last chapter of the series and I hope you all enjoy it.
Chapter 4
"Gods of the mounds, I think you banjaxed my womanhood," Morrígan said with a pleased sigh.
She was resting her head on Parrish's chest, the both of them were practically glowing with post-coital bliss.
"I wasn't sure what I should expect when I came here. But I wasn't expecting this," Parrish said.
Morrígan traced random patterns onto his chest. "Some times the unexpected can be fun."
"So...you said you have been waiting for this for a long time. What did you mean?"
"I caught a gander of you when you were here last. You left an impression."
"I was being controlled by lion-Werewolf Nazi."
"Like I said. You made an impression."
She stood up and Parrish couldn't help but drink in the sight of her glorious form. She was a very fit woman. Well muscular in the arms and legs and she sported a pair of abs that made Parrish feel a little envious.
She looked down at him, her green eyes twinkled with mischief. "I see you are still rather randy my lover."
Her gaze was focused on his manhood which was starting to stir to life. Parrish fought the urge to cover himself up. No point in being bashful now, yet he felt oddly exposed.
"You are a very beautiful woman."
"Sweet man ya are. As much as I would love to ride you into the ground we need to stop fooling around." She tossed him his pants and began to grab her own cloths.
He stood up and slid on his pants. Once she began to put her corset on he walked up behind her and helped her lace it up. He kissed her neck and she let out a sigh.
"I feel like this is only a one time thing," he said.
"Fraid you're right." she turned around to face him. A sad expression on her face. "Once I was a mortal woman. In order to avenge myself and my slain clan I made a deal with the goddess Morrígan whom I was named after. I was remade by the wild magic. The same power that made the Hellhounds and the Ghost Riders. The same magic that fills this world. It is a part of me and I am a part of it. I can make short trips to the mortal world. But they are few and far in-between."
He placed his hands on her hips and made her turn to face him. "I can do long distance."
She chuckled. "Oh my sweet Jordan. How you know how to tempt a girl." she kissed him on the lips. It was soft, gentle. So unlike the rough, dominant claiming she had done to him earlier. "You are not the first man to catch my fancy. Nor will you be the last. You are meant to be back in the mortal world. Back on earth. There are tough times coming for everyone and they will need you."
"Are you not lonely in this place all by yourself?" he asked.
"I am many things, lonely is not one of them. I have a duty here. You have a duty there. This is a moment we will both cherish and remember fondly."
She began to levitate into the air, her hair flew around her like a crimson veil.
"Go now, follow your friends. This will be over soon. Fear not, for you and yours have my favor and those who carry my favor know not the bitter tang of defeat."
She turned into a crow and flew off. Parrish watched her go, feeling a little sad.
"Don't feel too bad brother." one of the Hellhounds said.
Why are they still here? Parrish asked himself.
"The lady is known to be a heart breaker. Many men have fallen for her charms. Take pride you caught her notice. She is very picky on who she courts."
"Funny, I don't feel lucky." he turned his gaze from the sky where she flew off to the Hellhounds. "You won't harm me or my friends?"
"We were ordered not to bother the creature or his growing brood. The spirit inside you wanted to kill the Chimeras but as per the terms of his agreement with the lady he will not harm them. We mean you no harm. We merely wish to do our duty and maintain the balance. We will not interfere unless ordered to."
"What if we need help?
The Hellhound smiled. But it showed waaay too much teeth for Parrish's liking. "You have the favor of the lady. You have all the help you will need."
It took them some time but Corey and Theo managed to find their way to what appeared to be Sinema. It was not easy, it was like someone took bits and pieces of Beacon Hills and jumbled them all together.
Theo had caught the scent of something human and they figured it had to be the drones so they followed it to-
"Deaton's clinic?" Nolan asked.
"Asa did say Corey was changing this place. Maybe he is changing it to places that have meaning to him. How many times has he come here for pack meetings or to be treated for injuries?" Theo asked.
"I feel like Deaton knows our anatomy better than any of our family doctors," Nolan replied.
Theo closed his eyes and concentrated. "I can hear something. But it is coming from deep within."
"The clinic isn't that big," Nolan said.
"We don't know what the inside is like. The Ghost Riders train station was an endless number of rooms."
"So it could be like the TARDIS?" Nolan asked. "Bigger on the inside?"
"Could be. Might look like the clinic on the outside but it could be something different on the inside. It doesn't sound like there are any guards at the doors."
"I have twenty-five shots left. We don't know how many drones there are," Nolan said.
"Save one for Liam. Don't bother using it on Corey. I doubt it would work on him. He is a Chimera."
"I wish Scott was here, we need him to bite Corey."
"Too bad Finch decided to quit being a teacher to become a full time alpha," Theo said.
Nolan took a deep breath. "You ready?"
"Ready as I will ever be."
"Theo, before we go in I want to say...thank you. For saving my life."
Theo fought the urge to roll his eyes. Were they really going to have the talk?
"I know we haven't exactly bonded. I was just as bad to you as I was to everyone else. But I want you to know I think your great, you inspire me. You did some really bad things. Things I never could do. But you give me hope Theo. Here you are fighting for Liam and the pack, trying to be a better person. I know you are still haunted by what you did. But still you keep going. I didn't think I could make up for what I did. But you showed me that if you really feel guilt for your actions than you can not only make up for what you did but make yourself a better person as well."
It was not often Theo found himself so surprised that he was rendered speechless. He had no idea Nolan held him in such regard. Perhaps because this was the longest time they have ever spent time together without there being another. Or perhaps because Theo did not think it possible for anyone to look up to him of all people.
"Thanks man...I...really appreciate it."
"When this is all over you think you use your new power on me again?" Nolan asked with a small blush. "It was really cool seeing the world like you."
Theo gave him a toothy smirk. "Thinking about maybe switching teams?"
"You're cute and everything but Liam would gut me if we tried anything."
Theo burst out laughing. "I meant if you were thinking about becoming a shifter. Though I am happy you are willing to experiment with me."
Nolan was full on blushing red now. "Oh...no, I am not thinking about becoming a Werewolf. It's just that I finally got to see what it was like to be like you. The whole reason I became a Hunter was because I was afraid and ignorant. It's why I have been studying so much. I don't want to be ignorant. I don't want to become that person ever again."
"Nolan, you don't need me to share my power with you to understand what it means to be a shifter Nolan. We've both changed. I'm not that same monster who came to Beacon Hills wanting power and his own pack of monsters. You're not the same scared boy who became a Hunter."
"I'm still a bad ass though huh?" he asked with a grin.
"You'd be cooler if you weren't missing some hair."
Nolan touched the spot where Morrígan had cut his hair off. "You're just jealous she liked my hair more than yours."
Theo chuckled. "Alright pretty boy. Lets do this."
Scott and Malia stood in the basement of the school. They had finally arrived in Beacon Hills after being sidetracked by a run in with some Werejaguars. Apparently Kate had spent some time with them while she was running from the Calvaras. Scott and Malia were hoping they would know where she was.
But since Werewolves apparently played a role in helping the Spaniards invade Mexico (still a sore spot for them) and they made the mistake of thinking Scott and Malia were friends with Kate (apparently after they helped her and taught her a few tricks she turned on them) they were not very welcoming.
They were more friendly with Malia (apparently Werecoyotes and Werejaguars had an amicable history with one another) and once they explained who they were they let them go relatively unharmed. Though Scott was never going to look at a butchers knife the same way.
"The last message I got from Liam says they were going to see if Parrish could get them in," Scott said.
"They must have already gone through, I can smell them and a bunch of other scents as well," Malia said.
"Coach said they were here."
Finstock had remained after he got the lacrosse boys to go home. Once Malia and Scott arrived, he quickly told them what happened and took off.
Malia spat at the rift. It briefly shined green before it sizzled away. "Well, the barrier is up and we don't have Parrish," she said.
"We'll find a way in," Scott assured her.
"I could call my dad and we could have him go through again," Malia suggested.
"Why do I feel like you are looking for a way to keep Peter from meeting your dad?" Scott asked with a smaile.
Malia rolled her eyes. "Because ever since my dad found out I have been speaking with Peter he wants to meet him. I think he is afraid I might leave him to be Peter's daughter."
"You told him that's not the care right?"
"Of course I did. But men have such fragile egos. Knowing Peter he will make his little smart ass comments and try and make my dad feel inferior and I will have to kick his ass out of the house."
"I'll be there to you know," Scott said taking her hand.
When Mr. Tate had learned his daughter finally had a new man, he had insisted they meet. It had been a little tense at first. He was more than a little protective of his daughter. But he knew Scott as Stiles friend and Scott's honest personality quickly warmed Tate up to him.
Though he still had to warn him of the consequences of breaking his daughters heart. He had taken Scott aside to tell him of the consequences.
"Now remember son, if you break her heart-"
"You'll kill me. I know," Scott replied.
Tate shook his head. "No, she will kill you. Don't fuck with my Malia. She will turn you inside out and laugh the entire time."
Mr. Tate knew his daughter so well.
"I know. This whole Peter situation is just so complicated. I mean I like Derek he is cool but Peter is just…"
"Peter?" Scott offered.
"Yeah. I know he has been good...well he hasn't tried to kill you or anyone from the pack but after what he did. It's hard to trust him."
"I know what you mean. I have a hard time trusting him to. But I trust he loves you and would do anything to protect you."
Malia kissed him on the cheek. "I know. I just don't want to have to kill him if he hurts you."
Scott just smiled.
Suddenly the rift began to glow. They got their claws ready, preparing to fight. They were expecting Corey or his drones to come out. Not a single crow.
"What the hell?" Malia asked.
The crow flew in front of them, its wings barley moving. The two of them took a deep breath. "IS it just me or does this bird smell like Parrish...and sex?"
"Well might explain why we never see him with a woman," Malia replied.
"Took your sweet time getting here," Morrígan said.
"Scott either those Werejaguars hit me on the head harder than I thought or this bird is talking," Malia said.
"She's talking," Scott replied.
"Look we aint got the time to waste, lets go you eejits!"
Malia growled and pointed a clawed finger at her. "Look, I did not come all the way here just to be told what to do by some Narnia reject!"
"Oh eff this!" Morrígan grabbed Malia's arm with her claws and with strength well beyond anything a mere crow had dragged a screaming Malia through the rift.
"Malia!" Scott yelled running after them.
Once he was through the light died down and the rift closed up.
"Are you happy Mason?" Corey asked as they slow danced.
"Yeah, super," Mason lied.
Some of the other drones were dancing as well. Mason spotted Liam at the bar with several empty bottles looking angry. He was upset Theo wasn't back yet. He wanted to go back and look for him and Nolan but Corey refused. Mason had a sneaking suspicion if Theo was here then the two would be dancing together while bickering about who was the better dancer.
"I know things are tough right now Mason. But it will be better soon. You'll see."
Corey pulled away and clapped his hands. The music stopped and the drones all groaned in disappointment.
"All right everyone. I want to thank you all for being here. I know this has been a bit of an inconvenience for you all but I hope you have all enjoyed joining the lounge."
The room broke out into polite applause. "This is so messed up," Mason muttered.
Once the noise died down Corey continued to speak. "For the longest time I hated the Dread Doctors for what they did to me. Kidnapping me, experimenting on me, killing me, turning me into a freak. But now I am actually glad they did. Because if they didn't I wouldn't be the person I am today, and I never would have met the love of my life."
Corey turned to Mason and took his hand in his. "Mason, before I became a Chimera. Before I met you I was invisible. No one noticed me. Not really. I was like Schrödinger's cat. We met under less than pleasant circumstances. But it was the greatest moment of my life because for the first time in my life I finally knew what it was like to be seen by someone. I finally truly existed. But you did more than give me existence. You made me into a better person. You pushed me when I needed to be pushed and loved me when I needed it. The last few years have been amazing Mason, and if you would do me the honor, I would like to spend the rest of our lives together."
"Wait...are you about to-"
Corey got on one knee, pulling out a small box and opening it up to reveal a golden ring.
"Oh shit!" Mason said.
"Mason Hewitt, would you do me the honor of marrying me?" Corey asked.
"Say yes dude!" Liam said waving an empty glass.
"Corey I love you, I do but-"
Sensing Mason's hesitance Corey was quick to speak. "Don't worry about our parents. My mom and dad are cool with it. I already asked your parents, and they said yes."
A feeling of dread washed over Mason. "What?"
"It's okay sweetie!"
Mason slowly turned his head to the side to see his parents standing next to the Bryants.
"We already consider Corey as part of the family," Mr. Hewitt said.
"I still expect grandchildren from the both of you know. Adoption is always an option remember," Mrs. Hewitt said.
"Mom, dad," Mason whispered.
"Never thought our son would amount to anything," Mrs. Bryant said tearfully.
"Bet you're happy I talked you out of that abortion now huh dear?" Mr. Bryant said.
"See, once I get the whole town we can get married and then we can rule the world!"
"No!" Mason yelled.
Corey frowned. "You're right. Ruling the world would be too much work. Let's just keep it to the town."
Mason slapped the box out of Corey's hand. The whole crowed gasped and it was so quiet now you could hear a pin drop. Corey looked from the ring on the floor to Mason. The look of hurt on his face made Mason's heart break.
"Enough of this Corey. You need to snap out of it!" he grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled him up. "This isn't you Corey! This-Mason motioned to Corey with his hand-isn't the man I fell in love with!"
"Mason Hewitt that is no way to talk to your fiance!" his mother chastised him.
"Now sweetie give them a moment. This is a big step for both of them," his father said trying to calm her down.
Mason ignored them and continued. "Corey this isn't you! You're being controlled by the part of you that is a Ghost Rider. The Corey I love would never attack people and turn them into monsters. But I know there is still a part of you in here somewhere Corey. Why else am I still human?"
"Because I love you," Corey said.
"Exactly. Your love for me is stronger than your instincts. Because you could never hurt me, our love is too strong. It is what is keep you from turning me into a drone." Mason gently cupped his face in his hands. "And it is what will save you. Come back to me Corey. Please."
Mason kissed him on the lips and Corey felt something begin to stir within. He began to change, his face returned to it's more human form and the green light in his eyes dimmed until they were almost their old color.
Mason pulled back to look at him, his skin was still wooden like the drones but he looked more like himself now. "Mason?"
"Corey!"
Mason kissed him again. They pulled apart and Corey looked around in confusion. "Mason, what is going on? Where are we?"
"Corey, listen. Stay with me okay, we need to get everyone and go home."
Corey looked around horrified at the drones. "Oh my God Mason, what have I done!"
"It's okay, I am here for you. I will always be here for you. Yes, I will marry you Corey Bryant."
"Wait what?"
"This is the man I want to marry. Right here. Do you love me?"
"Yes, of course. I love you so much I can't put it into words. I don't feel whole unless I am with you, you brilliant perfect man," Corey said.
"I see you Corey. I have always seen you for who you really are." Mason used his thumb to wipe away the tear that fell down Corey's face. "It doesn't matter if you are invisible or a super-Chimera. I will always see you."
The Wood began to soften and become a more pink color. Just when Mason thought he had his Corey back the doors slammed open and in walked Stilinsky and his men dragging Theo and Nolan with them. The deputies had their guns trained on the both of them.
"Corey, we caught your friends."
Mason turned to look at them then back to Corey. He had returned to his monstrous form. One eyes stared at Mason while the other looked at the others.
"So happy you said yes! We'll have the ceremony after we take over the town."
He kissed him on the cheek and headed over to the others. "Corey no!"
The Hewitts walked over to their son and restrained him. "Now son don't interrupt your fiance when he is at work," he dad said.
Corey walked over to the group. His one eye looked at Theo and the other at Nolan. "Glad you guys could make it...but why are you normal?" Corey asked Theo.
"I healed," Theo lied.
Corey shook his head. "Can't be. Liam is a Werewolf, and he is still one of mine."
"About time you guys made it, Mason just agreed to marry Corey!" Liam called out.
Theo's face fell when he saw Liam. "Not you to little wolf."
"You guys are engaged?" Nolan asked giving Mason a funny look. "Doesn't seem like an appropriate time man."
"If you had gotten here a few moments sooner, you would have seen I got through to Corey!" Mason yelled.
"Well excuse us for trying to save you and Liam!" Theo yelled.
"I had everything under control!" Mason yelled back.
"Says the guy in a suit! Wait...why haven't you been turned into a drone?" Theo asked.
"Corey loves me too much to do that," Mason replied.
"Aww, that's so sweet!" Nolan said.
"That's true love kid," Stilinski replied.
Liam appeared next to the group. "Hurry up and turn them Corey. The night is still young and we can't party without our pack!"
Corey nodded slapping Liam's shoulder. "You're right man. Can't get married without my best men at the wedding!"
"Wait, we're your best men?" Nolan asked.
"Of course, we are pack man. Family. Who else would I have?"
Nolan smiled. "Dude, that's awesome!"
Theo rolled his eyes. "Really, Nolan?"
Liam squinted at Nolan's head. "Wait, why do you have a patch of hair missing?"
"Oh we met this crow lady, she is really nice. We ran across some Hellhounds than Parrish's spirit took control and wanted kill Theo but Morrígan had us run while she fought Parrish. I hope she is okay, she is really nice. She said she was going to use my hair for her nest."
The whole room was silent as Nolan finished his story.
"Man what have I missed out on?" Mason asked.
"We found this with them sir," one of the deputies said showing Corey the crossbow and the bag.
Corey inspected one of the darts with a thoughtful expression. "Interesting. No doubt some kind of tranquilizer."
Nolan wisely kept his mouth shut this time.
"No matter. You're both here now."
"Corey, what about Parrish?" Stilinski asked.
"I guess we will find out if I can control him like Douglass could. If I really am part Ghost Rider then perhaps I can do the same. If not I can try and turn him into one of my drones. Either way you will get your best deputy back."
Stilinski nodded. "Be happy to have him on the team. He's my best man."
Just than the doors burst open and Parrish came roaring in. The doors flew back against the wall and the whole room seemed to grow hotter.
"Right on time Parrish, just like always," Stilinksi said.
"Hellhound!" Corey yelled raising his hand. "I Corey Bryant do command you to obey my commands as your new lord and master!"
Parrish let out a roar, sending out a wave of heat that caused the other deputies to drop their weapons.
"Last time we fought you burned me pretty bad. Let's see if this time won't be different!" Corey said with a savage snarl.
"I don't want to hurt you Corey. But you're messing with powers you can't understand!"
"You mean that crow woman and the Huntsman?" Corey asked. "He tried to kill me when I first came here. But she saved me. Told him to leave me alone."
"Morrígan was the one who gave the order?" Parrish asked with a confused expression.
Corey shrugged. "I don't know her name. The Huntsman called her lady. He seemed to respect her. Don't blame him. She was beautiful, but also pretty scary. She was like Lydia's older, scarier sister."
"Sounds like her," Theo muttered.
He brought his head back and hit the deputy holding him on the face. This distraction allowed Nolan to break free of his captor and punch him in the face. Before Corey could turn invisible Parrish shot forward like a rocket and tackled him to the ground.
The whole room erupted in a frenzy. The majority of the drones rushed to help Corey, but the others went to fight Theo and Nolan.
"We can't stop them all!" Nolan yelled.
"No need to fear lad, help has finally arrived!"
Morrígan flew in with Malia and Scott hot on her tail. She flew up to the ceiling and perched on one of the lights to watch the fight.
"When I get my hands on you, I am going to roast you for dinner!" Malia yelled at her.
"Feck off!" Morrígan called down to her.
"Scott!" Theo yelled.
Scott let out a roar and he and Malia went to help Theo and Nolan. Theo couldn't help but notice that the pair of them seemed to be faster and stronger than normal. Their movements were more feral. In Malia's case that might not seem odd but even Scott seemed to be enjoying himself a little too much.
Corey was doing a rather good job at fighting Parrish, his eyes moved in rapid movements, following every move with high accuracy. Every time he would try to punch him Corey would disappear and reappear somewhere else.
It would have been easier if he didn't have a swarm of drones fighting him as well, he was trying to be careful, he knew they couldn't help trying to protect Corey and he was trying to to rough them up to bad. But he was quickly becoming overwhelmed by the sheer number of them.
Nolan grabbed his crossbow and was shooting drones one by one. "I don't have enough!" he yelled.
Liam went rushing at him but Theo intercepted him. "Snap out of it Liam!" he yelled punching him in the face.
"Join the lounge Theo. I want you by my side!" Liam yelled back elbowing Theo on the side of his head.
"I didn't crawl out of hell to become a monster again Liam. I am going to save you even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming."
Theo launched himself at Liam and they fell to the floor. The wrestled for a few moments. Theo was an expert at fighting Liam. But now the Beta had the power of a Ghost rider flowing in him and it gave him the boost he needed to get the edge over Theo.
Liam straddled Theo, their hands clasped as they both fought for control. "You'll join the lounge Theo. I am responsible for you and I say you're going to be one of us! You'll be my second, it's where you belong. By my side!"
"Maybe, but not like this!" Theo snarled.
Before Liam could respond her let out a gasp and went slack. He fell to the side and Theo saw a dart sticking out of his back. "Told you I am a bad ass!"
Theo smiled and checked on Liam. He was back to normal now and looked like he just woke up from a bad dream.
"Theo...Nolan shot me the little shit!"
Theo laughed. "Yeah, his aim got a lot better." Theo heard Parrish roar and saw he was being overwhelmed by the drones. His flames were gone, he couldn't risk the people being burned. Corey was at a safe distance watching the scene unfold. "Scott, you have to get Corey!" Theo yelled.
Scott knocked one of the drones out. He looked different. His skin was a shade darker now, his face was more wolfish. For a moment Theo wondered if maybe Scott was going through his own metagenesis.
"Scott!" Theo yelled again.
Scott's gaze snapped up to Theo. For a moment Theo wondered if maybe he was going to attack him as lips pulled back into a vicious snarl.
"Go get Corey!" Theo yelled.
Scott snarled and went on all floors and chased after Corey. "Beacon Hills is mine!" he roared.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" Theo asked.
"Theo...it's this place," Liam said shakily.
"I don't know why but it's different from the last time we came her. I can feel it, it's like the supermoon only worse!" Liam said, struggling to form the words.
Theo thought to how the moon looked outside. "It's this world. Something about it messes with shifters. It doesn't effect me because I am a Chimera."
Liam stood up, pulling Theo with him. "You're my Chimera!" he snarled. "We will crush these bastards and feast on their guts!"
"That's what I am talking about!" Malia howled joyfully as strangled one of the drones.
"Guys focus, these are our people, our responsibility!" Theo yelled.
Malia closed her eyes and let the drone drop. "We need to get out of here!"
Scott was fighting Corey now. Theo found the sight of him truly chilling. It wasn't how he looked now that disturbed him, no it was the look of rage and bloodlust on his face.
"I am glad you are here Scott. You'll make a wonderful member of the lounge!" Corey said dodging Scott's claws.
He struck with his tongue, hitting Scott right on his left shoulder. Scott roared in pain. But before he could be transformed, he cut Corey's tongue off with his claws. "I am the alpha, this is my pack!" he roared.
He jumped on Corey and was about to cut his throat when a voice yelled out. "Stop!"
Scott looked up to see Corey standing several feet away. "Scott this isn't you!"
Scott looked from him, to Corey than to his claws. "I...God...Corey I am so-"
Corey kicked him off and vanished. Mason looked around, trying to find him. He could always see Corey's outline when he was invisible. But he couldn't see him! Was he hiding somewhere? Or had his power grown so powerful Mason had lost sight of him.
He saw a broken piece of glass on the floor. He bent down and picked it up. He believed Corey loved him no matter what, that he would protect him: Always.
He put the glass to his arm and cut.
"Mason!" Liam yelled seeing his friend cut his arm.
Mason cried out as the sharp glass cut into his skin, warm blood began to quickly fall down his arm.
"MASON!" Corey screamed.
"Mason!"
"Mason!"
"Mason!"
"Mason!"
The words flew from the drones lips as Corey's need to keep his lover safe overrode anything else they felt. Parrish was able to push his way out of the mob, but it was too late.
Corey appeared in front of Mason, he placed his hand on the cut, trying to stop the bleeding. "Why would you do this Mason?" he demanded angrily. "Why would you hurt yourself! I am so mad at you right now!"
Mason put a comforting hand on his cheek. "Corey. You love me right?"
"Of course you idiot!"
Mason smiled. "I love you to, no matter what. Please forgive me for this."
Corey thought he meant for the cut, he was so frightened by seeing Mason cut into his arm he forgot all about Scott.
The True Alpha popped up behind Corey, biting into his neck. Corey let out a scream and Mason cried. Scott let Corey go, his lips red with blood. Corey fell to the floor but Mason caught him.
"It's okay, I got you. I got you!" Mason said.
The drones all fell unconscious. The room was silent and the pack gathered around the weeping boy and his love. Theo felt like he was viewing the scene from some tragic romance movie where one of the young lovers dies. Hopefully the bite would take.
"How long before he wakes up?" Nolan asked.
"If the bite takes it shouldn't take him long to heal," Liam said.
Mason was rocking Corey back and forth. Whispering to him, begging him to wake up. "Please don't leave me Corey. I love you so much, please don't go. Not again!"
They waited. For what seemed like an eternity they waited to see where fate would take Corey. Then the boy took a deep breath, and they watched as he slowly turned back into his true, human form. The bite on his neck healed and when he opened his eyes, they were glowing gold.
"Mason...you...saved me," Corey whispered. Mason laughed and began to rain kisses down on him.
"Guys look!" Malia said.
All the drones were reverting to their human forms. Though they were still unconscious, they were unharmed. "Thank God, I was all out of herbs," Nolan said.
"You okay Liam?" Theo asked.
Liam smiled at him. "Yeah, got a small headache but that is is."
Theo smiled. "Good. Because there is something I need to do."
He strolled forward and grabbed Liam by the front of his shirt. Before Liam could protest Theo kissed him on the lips. Liam beat his hands against his chest at first, but then he began to massage his shoulders and then gripped them tight.
The group watched with various expressions as the two began to passionately make out. When they finally pulled back their lips were swollen and they reeked of lust.
"When we get back, first thing I am doing is plow you like a farmer in the field," Theo said.
Liam smiled at him, his eyes issued a silent challenge. "I'm the Alpha in this relationship Raeken. You'll have to fight me for it."
"I'd much rather kiss you for it."
They began to make out again and Mason smiled at his friend. Scott looked a little awkward but Malia merely rolled her eyes. "Finally, the sexual tension between those two was making me horny."
Stilinski and Deaton walked over to them, they had been hit by Nolan's dart so they had become human before Scott bit Corey. Stilinksi was looking at the others who had been darted and were watching the unfolding scene with frightful eyes.
"Hope you guys have a way out of here."
"And that is my cue!"
Morrígan flew down and transformed into her human form. "Now that was what I call a fight. Ya all did very good."
"You lied to us!" Parrish said with a growl.
"Did I now?"
"Corey told us you were the one who ordered he not be harmed!"
She shrugged. "Well of course I didn't lie to you about that. You never asked."
"Why did you order the others to leave him alone?" Nolan asked.
"Oh I had many reasons. One of which was curiosity. Never been a creature like him before. I wanted to see just what he was capable of. A creature given supernatural powers by science? I mean that is something even I haven't seen before."
"You purposely allowed him to terrorize our town just to see what powers he had?" Theo growled.
She put her hands on her hips and gave him such a glare he had to fight the urge to back away. "If it wasn't for me the Huntsman would have put a bullet between his eyes. Maybe my intentions were not so altruistic but don't be a bunch of ingrates now."
"Who the hell are you?" Mason asked.
"Call me Morrígan lad. Also known as-"
"The Queen of all Banshee's," Scott grumbled.
"Also known as ex machina."
Mason let out a squeak as Corey rolled them around so he could start rubbing against him. "Corey what the hell!" the words died in his throat as he saw Corey morph into his beta form.
"Mine! My Mason!" he growled softly.
"I am not an expert but this seems a little too quick," Nolan said.
"Tis the moon lad. Like I told you, magic is stronger here than on earth. Every night is a full moon here, because a full moon is when magic is at its peek," Morrígan said. "The same goes for the other shifters. Don't worry once you get home it will wear off."
"I don't know if I can make it back to the rift," Malia said.
"And how are we going to get everyone there?" Deaton asked. "I doubt these people are going to be willing to trust us now."
"That is where I come in." Morrígan turned around and let out a scream that made a rift open up right before their eyes. She closed her eyes and raised her hands. All the people who had been drones save for Deaton, Stilinski and Liam awoke and as if in a trance, one by one made there way through the rift.
"I have altered their memories a wee bit. They won't remember any of this." she turned to face the others. "Okay, off you all go now."
They all gathered up and made their way through the rift. As he passed her Parrish gave her one last lingering look. "Good bye sweet," she said.
"I can't believe you were having sex while we were trying to save Corey!" Theo grumbled at Parrish.
"Wait what?" Stilinski asked.
They walked through the rift and it closed. Morrígan let out a sigh. "Tis over at last."
Just then the whole building began to shake. It slowly began to vanish like a mirage. All the other buildings were gone, it was just hills covered in lush green grass and flowers. But a moment later there was a sound of thunder and lightning struck the ground in front of her.
A Ghost Rider stood before he. Wearing full cowboy garb. But he was more similar to the drones in his more humane appearance. "It is finally over?" he asked.
"Aye, the boy was bit by a True Alpha and transformed into a proper Werewolf. His influence is gone, and the world has returned to it's natural form."
"You played a dangerous game my lady. Any longer and the higher-ups would have intervened and we both know what they do to those who neglect their duty."
Morrígan gave him a cheeky smile. "But I had plenty of good reasons. One, I wanted to see what the Chimera creature was capable of. Such a unique being deserved to be studied. Second I wanted to measure the McCall pack. It has been a long time since anyone got the best of the Ghost Rider. Yet one wee Alpha and his clan managed to save a whole town of people! I wanted to know if they were a threat to the Hunt. But I am happy to report they do not posses some unknown power or had divine help. They beat ya on pure luck."
The Huntsman clenched his fists tight. "They did not beat me."
The Huntsman had been a human once. A gunslinger of the old west who spent his days robbing trains and banks. One day he was caught and on the day he was to be hanged the Ghost Riders came. He was one of those captured but unlike the others when he was transformed he retained some of his humanity.
It was very rare but not unheard of for a person of immense will and character to retain some of their soul. Only these rare few could become the Huntsman. The leader of the Ghost Riders. But there could only be one Huntsman at a time so he had to fight the previous leader. He won their duel and had been leading the Riders ever since and never once had he failed in his duty until he came across the McCall pack.
When he became the Huntsman he had turned the Ghost Riders into their cowboy form. It was not uncommon for the reigning Huntsman to modify the Riders to his liking.
"Of course not. You capture one soul for the hunt, right?"
"Forgive me for being blunt ma'am but I feel like your actions had less to due with study and more to do with the Hellhound you fancied."
"Are you accusing me of being a cute hoor?" she asked with a frown.
"Unruffle your feathers. We both know of your history with mortal men. If you wanted to fuck the hound why wait so long?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "What can I say, I like mixing business with pleasure."
She turned to face the moon. A wistful expression on her face.
"Tell me Huntsman, do you remember being human?"
He thought for a moment. His main purpose was to lead the hunt and gather more souls to harvest. But…
"Some times. I remember the wind on my face, the sun burning my skin. I remember the smell of gunpowder the feel of a noose around my neck. I remember the first girl I ever love. A lovely thing with eyes like gold and a temper like the devil."
"I was a mortal girl once. A member of a proud clan of warriors and hunters. I remember wrestling with my brothers and the look of pride in my fathers eyes when I killed ma first elk. I remember cooking meat with my mother and her hugging me the day my maiden's blood began to flow and telling me it was a sign I was a woman. I remember the smell of fire and seeing my family murdered and put on pikes. I remember my husband's hot breath on my face as he violated me and I remember the pain as his men beat me within an inch of ma life. Some memories I struggle to keep in ma head. Others I try still to erase."
The Huntsman moved to stand next to her. Staring at the moon in all it's cosmic glory. "Do you regret your decision to become a Banshee?"
"Do you regret becoming a Huntsman?" she asked.
"I didn't have a choice. It was either this or death. But you chose to make a pact with the goddess. So I ask again. Do you regret making your choice?"
She was quiet for a moment. It had been a long time since she had pondered on her life choices.
"I admit, I got more than I bargained for when I made my pact. But I stand by what I did. I avenged my clan, wiped out my enemies from history and sentenced them to a fate worse than death and my daughters litter the world, protecting the innocent from death."
She began to trail her hand around her stomach, a hopeful expression on her face.
"I traded a human life for this. I do not regret it and would not change it. But I admit, sometimes I like to remember that once I was just a simple woman." She turned to look at the Huntsman, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I am awful sorry for being such an inconvenience to ya. But I had to make sure the Riders were not loosing their touch. Everything else was just fun."
The Huntsman nodded. "I admit, I was curious how they did it myself. It has been a very long time since anyone saved a single soul from us. Let alone a whole town. Perhaps it is a sign they can handle the coming war."
Morrígan nodded. "Yes. I can feel the deaths coming. It will be terrible. But I know in ma bones they can handle it."
"Poor bastards, never easy to bare the weight of the world on your shoulders."
Morrígan sighed. "No. It is not."
One Year Later
Mason awoke to the feeling of something soft being dragged up his stomach. He smiled as he felt Corey's hot breath ghosting over his lips. "Happy birthday Mason."
He pressed his lips to Mason's, kissing him deeply.
"Happy wolfday Corey," Mason replied.
Since Corey was turned on Mason's birthday they liked to share the day together and celebrate. Scott had done a good job in training Corey, but his duties with Monroe had pulled him away from Beacon Hills, but Liam proved to be an effective teacher.
Corey was happy as a Werewolf though he did miss his ability to turn invisible. None of the people Corey abducted remembered what happened. Though Morrígan had altered their memories, she couldn't do anything about the time they had lost and though they knew something supernatural had occurred, they did not know the full scope.
Corey pulled his shorts down, his manhood slapped against his stomach and he crawled underneath the sheets, his naked form melding with Mason's. He began to kiss and nuzzle his naked, his dick pressed against Mason's thigh.
"Corey!" Mason moaned. "We just had sex last night! I swear becoming a Werewolf has turned you into a sex fiend!"
"You bring out the beast in me baby," Corey said nibbling on his ear. "Best thing about being a Werewolf is knowing you so intimately. I know exactly what to do to make you write for me."
"No fair using Werewolf powers," Mason whined.
Corey growled, his eyes flashed gold. "God Mason, when you whine like that I just want to wrap my arms around you and never let you go."
Mason bent his head back and kissed Corey on the lips. "I sometimes think you are trying to outdo Liam and Theo in the sex department. Is that some weird Werewolf thing?"
After Liam and Theo decided to become intimate, they were quick to dispel the sexual tension that had been building between them. Even after a year Corey could still catch their scent so deeply entwined he had difficulty telling them apart.
And they seemed determined to tell the world they were fucking. The movie theater, the school, Derek's loft, Liam's house, and the woods! Corey was sure if he shined a blacklight the whole place would light up.
"No, I just can't resist the opportunity being inside you." he ran his hand up and down the curve of Mason's ass. "Mmm, still sore?"
"Deliciously," Mason hissed as Corey began to probe his entrance. "Jesus Mason! Don't stop."
"Never!" Corey growled.
He held Mason's hand while he prepped him. He was still a little loose from last night but Corey wasn't going to rush. Mason needed to be savored. To be enjoyed. To be made into a writhing mess.
Corey pressed closer to Mason, the human lifted his leg to give Corey more room to work. Corey circled his hold with the head of his dick before he began to gently push in, he used his power to take some of the pain but he needed to be careful. He had been a little too enthusiastic last night so he would have to go nice and slow.
Mason trembled as Corey bottomed out in him. He squeezed the humans stomach gently, kissed his neck, his fangs lightly scrapped against his skin. The bed shook as Corey thrust into Mason, the scent of their sex made Corey feel drunk.
He reached down and began to stroke Mason with blinding speed. Mason arched his back and cried out as he coated his stomach and Corey's hand with his seed. Feeling Mason tighten around his rod made Corey blast his load into Mason and they both laid together, still connected, their hearts beating as one.
"I love you Corey," Mason mumbled feeling truly blissed out.
"And I love you Mason."
Mason yawned. "We need to get a shower and get ready for the party tonight. It's your one year anniversary and I will make sure everything goes perfect."
"Is Alec going to be there?" Corey asked.
"Of course. You know he has a thing for Nolan right?"
Corey nodded. "Nolan is so clueless. Everyone can tell they have the hots for one another."
"Feel like playing match maker tonight?"
"Always. I have a feeling tonight is going to make a lot of people happy."
Corey kissed the back of Mason's neck. He wish he had the ring box right here so he could pop the question. But he had waited this long, he could wait a little longer. They had never talked about Corey popping the question in the Otherworld. But it had been on Corey's mind for a long time and he decided it was time.
After the last two years if neither Corey or Mason were sure if they were truly meant to be than it wasn't worth it.
But Corey couldn't live without Mason, he needed him in his life. He needed him more than air.
Just than Mason's phone began to ring. It was Liam's ringtone. Mason moved to grab his phone but Corey stopped him. "We're in post-coital mode," he moaned.
"It might be important," Mason mumbled.
He got up, Corey had to pull out causing both of them the hiss. Mason answered the phone trying to not sound too grumpy.
"Hey Liam, whats up?"
"Mason, you and Corey need to come over to Parrish's house...we have a situation."
The puppy pack had gathered at Parrish's house along with Stilinski. He had received a frantic call from his deputy and had called Liam for help. They had arrived expecting something involving Parrish's Hellhound nature: Not a baby.
A little boy with vivid-red hair lay in a wicker basket, swaddled in a blue blanket and sleeping with his thumb in his mouth. Parrish was staring at the baby with shock and disbelief.
"He found the little guy on his porch when he went to come to work. He found this."
Stilinski showed them a note. It was written in elegant cursive writing with the imprint of a womans lips in red lipstick at the bottom. Liam took the note and began to read from it. Theo, Mason, Corey, Nolan and Alec (Who had spent the night at Nolan's house. But in a separate room as he was quick to tell them)
"My dearest Jordan. Though it has been a year since we last saw one another I still remember our time together all to well. As you can tell from this beautiful bundle of joy you left a little bit of yourself behind. This is Kelly, our son. As much as I would love to keep him I can not. He belongs on earth with his father and I am a creature of the Otherworld now. Though you may not see me, never doubt I will be watching over you my hound and our little pup–and to answer your question no he didn't come out of an egg! Take care, and mind our son. I fear he might be a handful. With much love, Morrígan. P.S tell Nolan the hair he gave me has made me the envy of the birds."
Nolan made a pleased sound and blushed when Alex trailed his fingers over the top of his head. "You do have nice hair."
"Thanks," Nolan blushed.
"He's so cute!" Mason said gushing over at the little guy.
"I'm...a father," Parrish said, his voice sounded rather weak.
Stilinski put his hand on the Hellhounds shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll help you."
"I call dibs on babysitting duty!" Mason said excitedly.
"I...thanks...I just...I can't believe I have a son!"
"Looks like you fathered the first pup of the pack," Theo said with a grin.
Kelly began to stir. He opened his eyes to see a group of strangers staring at him in wonder. "He may have his moms hair but he has your eyes," Stilinski said with a warm smile.
"Yeah, Morrígan had darker green eyes, yours are a lighter shade," Corey said.
Just then Kelly's eyes began to glow orange.
"Yeah, definitely had his dads eyes!" Liam said.
The basket burst into flames. Everyone except Parrish cried out in terror and ran around, trying to find something to put out the fire. Parrish reached into the fire, he plucked Kelly from the flames. Besides a little suit and having turned his blanket to ash the infant was unharmed.
He held him close, kissing the top of the baby's head. "I'm starting to wonder if your mother didn't have another reason for giving you to me."
"So he's a Hellhound?" Alec asked looking shocked.
"Hellpup more like it," Nolan replied.
"Still call dibs on babysitting duty?" Corey asked Mason.
Mason smiled. "Going to take more than a little Hellfire to stop me from being Uncle Mason."
"Uncle Mason?" Parrish asked with a raised brow, his voice laced with humor.
"Yep, we need to go to the store and see if we can find any childproof cloths!"
Liam laughed. "Wait to the others find out. You think Mason is bad wait until Lydia finds out."
Parrish sighed. "You're all going to spoil my son."
They all agreed.
Liam clapped his hands together. "Well we got one more reason to celebrate tonight guys. Mason's birthday, Corey's wolfday and now the addition of Kelly Parrish to the pack."
Mason kissed Corey on the cheek. "You know when my mom finds out she is going to be more determined to get us to adopt right."
Corey smiled, thinking of the ring he had hidden away for tonight. "I don't think she will have to wait for long."
