Chapter 4

A/N: Hope ya'll enjoy! READ AND REVIEW!

Disclaimer: I clearly don't own Teen Wolf...frowny face

Ps. To the person who asked for a Liam centric fic, I'm just cleaning up one I wrote pre season 5. I think I'll post it next. Don't quote me on that. I don't want to disorganize the Isaac fics by putting others fics in between so I might wait until the last chapter of genius Isaac. Also, did you want Liam as the PACK puppy or can it be Liam as Sciles' little bro?

Summary: Malia barred her teeth, showing all her fangs, and made the final leap.

9:30PM

Scott was just starting on question number two in his Economics homework when his cellphone rang. Thankful for the distraction, he answered it without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hello, hello?" He said as he answered the phone. The double hello was a trick Mason had taught the Pack to confuse Kitsune spirits and Derek insisted that they put it into practice. With all the havoc going on around Beacon Hills these days, they need all the leverage and help they can get. When something so small can make such a huge difference, they'd have to be stupid to not do it.

"So, Scott, is there a reason why I have three Beacon Hill students in the ER, moaning about a coyote, with their limbs barley hanging on?" Melissa asked Scott on her cell phone. She was taking a short break from her hectic shift to call her son, knowing that most likely this damage was supernaturally caused.

"What?" Scott asked, scratching his head.

"We have three students here, one is named Mitchell Harris and-."

"STILES! Sorry mom, I have to go!" He urgently hung up and dialled Stiles' number, his thumbs stumbling over the keypad. "Stiles, what the hell did you do?" Scott growled.

"Scott-." Stiles began to explain.

"Stiles, we don't kill people." Scott said urgently. (Oh the feels!)

"Malia slightly maimed them. Even Lydia agreed that they deserved it after what they did to Zac." Stiles said quickly, interrupting Scott before he could rant about being a True Alpha and always taking the high road.

"...and that's better how?" Scott's voice rose at the end to make the sentence in a question.

"Trust me, they'll survive. A hurt ego won't damage them for life. Maybe it'll put those jerks in their place along with the Peter Hale's of the world."

"But Zac-."

"Remember, Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent."

"Protect those who can't protect themselves." Scott translated mournfully. Although he was happy with Kira, there would always be a place in his heart for Allison. He actually kept a scrapbook of them together, when they were dating, that was in the back corner of a shelf in his closet that not even Stiles knew about.

"They're not dead Scott. Don't you have faith in me?"

"Ya okay Stiles, I just wish you'd run it by me."

"I know but..." he took a deep breath before continuing. "Scott, sometimes we have to take initiative. W-we can't keep on being passive all the damn time!" he stuttered on we, knowing that he was going against Scott #1 rule. "I know they're only humans but if we keep on being submissive to them they'll always win. Dominance isn't just a concept in the wild. After this, they would have to be suicidal to pick on Zac again. In fact, they probably won't pick on anyone ever again. I know it's a little unethical but..Scott, you should've seen Isaac after school. He was such a mess!"

"Will they recover?" Scott asked after a pregnant pause.

"Well do you hear Lydia screaming?" Stiles retorted. Lydia was a banshee, affectionately called the 'Wailing woman', and she could hear voices in her head and lead the Pack to murder scenes. Scott sighed and rubbed his eyes in a show of tiredness.

"I still don't like it."

"Well tough tushie! Scott I need to go, Derek's got this idea in his head that he can cook." Stiles said back. "Call Isaac, he's fine. Maybe some emotional trauma but we can deal with that. Derek, stop-"

"Stiles, what do you mean emotional trauma?" Scott interrupted.

"Call him, dude I need to go. Derek seems intent on recreating what Kate started!" Stiles finished before hanging up. Scott sighed and made a mental note to keep track of how much Adderall his best friend took while he punched in Isaac's cell number. It had been a birthday gift from Scott and Stiles for Isaac's 13th birthday. They didn't just do it so isaac could have an easier time making friends, but that was part of it. They wanted to make sure they could keep track of Isaac at all times. The younger wolf had a tendency to wander off in his own world and could disappear for hours in the forest simply contemplating a quote. Thats why Derek has all of Isaac's Shakespeare books hidden behind the elders bookshelf. Stiles swore he aged 10 years that day and his heart would never be the same.

"Yellow is the colour of my energy!" Isaac greeted. Scott sighed with relief, thankful that Isaac seemed to be in a better mood. As a typical teenager Isaac was prone to mood swings, but when he was in a good mood he was a delight.

"Zac that is sooo cheesy." Scott chuckled, along with Isaac. It was amazing how quickly Isaac could change from moody and gloomy to ecstatic in the few hours school had ended. He was also pleased to see that the 'emotional trauma', that Scott knew was no doubt still there, was being hidden for another day. He much preferred this Isaac to that Isaac.

"Haters gonna hate," Isaac joked.

"Are you on drugs?" Scott replied with the same joking tone as the younger boy.

"Drugs don't work on us Scotty." Isaac reminded the elder boy.

"Then what's up?" Scott asked, hoping his question didn't ruin Isaac's good mood. "What, got a hot date or something?" There was silence on the phone line now, "Zac?"

"Liam told you? Oh, I'm going to-"

"What? No, I haven't spoken to Liam since lunch. You have a date with someone?"

"I was asked out!" He spat out, knowing there was no going back now. "Like on a date! AN ACTUAL DATE!" His excitement was growing with every word.

"By a guy?"

"...A girl, dude." Isaac said after an awkward pause. "C'mon man, gay jokes, now?"

"Sorry, sorry." Scott chuckled. "Who's the lucky lady?"

"Hayden Romero, she's a sophomore. She's in my gym class and is like, seriously awesome at soccer." Isaac said and Scott could tell, without even seeing Isaac that he was blushing. "We ran into each other at the grocery store, she was grabbing some junk food that Malia cannot apparentlylive without, and she just blurted it out. IN PUBLIC! Apparently she was too nervous to approach me at school because certain seniors intimidate her."

"What, like me? I'm a freaking were-pup with my crooked jaw and heart eyes and-."

"More like Jackson and Erica."

"Oh ya...ya, I can see that."

Isaac laughed, "anyways we have a date set for dinner at Breadstix this Thursday."

"Man, dude that's awesome." Scott was so relieved that Isaac was acting like an actual 14 year-old for once. He'd have to do a background check on Hayden first though. He opened his laptop, clicked on 'QueenL' and typed out a short message.

LacrosseWolf24: Wat do u know about 'Hayden Romero'? babywolf's got a d8 ;)

Scott felt a wave of protectiveness swarm over him, like a wave in the ocean, but he pushed it down. Isaac could only handle so much overbearing, but kindhearted, brotherly protectiveness before he cracked. They didn't need another Jackson on their hands. One snooty Porsche driving werewolf was more then enough.

"You're already asking Lydia to go through her school file aren't you?" Isaac guessed correctly. He knew Scott, and even if he didn't his werewolf hearing could pick up on the quiet clacking of a computer keyboard over the receiver.

"...No." Scott closed his laptop where he had, in fact, been IM-ing Lydia. He saw that she hadn't replied yet anyways so it didn't matter if he closed his laptop, the message was still sent and active in her inbox.

"Oh ya, that's convincing." Isaac snorted. "Okay, I've got to go work on some Chemistry homework. Is there a reason you were calling?"

"No, just thought you should know Harris and his cronies are in BHMH with my mom."

"So you want me to celebrate their misfortune? If I did that Scott I'd be just as bad as them."

"No Zac-."

"Whatever Scott. What's done is done. I'm so glad you taught Malia the ways of right and wrong." And with that he hung up. Scott looked at his phone in shock. He would have never expected that from Isaac. 'He must be really upset' Scott thought as he turned back to his homework. His mini, unintentional break had not helped his concentration levels in the slightest. When he glanced at the clock and saw the time, 10:15, he closed the book and figured he'd just copy off Stiles tomorrow on the way to school. It's not like Finstock actually cared or anything.

He changed into his pyjama's, boxer shorts and nothing else, and climbed into bed. He was just about to turn off his lamp when he heard a knocking on his window.

He jumped out of bed, not in fright (he'd swear on it), and opened his window to reveal a very stubborn Derek, who looked annoyed at the mere seconds it took Scott to get out of bed. Heaven forbid anyone tries to sleep in this town Scott thought. Then a realization hit him, he was beginning to sound like Stiles. And wasn't that a scary thought.

"Are you going to let me in?" Derek growled, bringing attention back to the problem at hand.

"Man, have you never heard of a door?" Scott asked but nonetheless he stood back and let Derek crawl under the window.

"Scott, now's not the time for sarcasm. We have a problem." Derek growled menacingly. "Some of my sources from other preserves believe that Peter is back in town. Like out of Eichen. As in, after us!"

Sarcasm flew out of Scott's mind when he heard that Derek's psychotic uncle had escaped from Eichen House and was terrorizing the county, once again.

"What do we do?" He asked the glowing eyed Alpha. Derek took a deep breath.

"I'll have to confirm their suspicions before we raise alarm."

"Of course. Should I tell Stiles anyways?"

"Like I can stop you," He wrinkled his nose in detest.

"Dude, you've learned so much since Sophomore year." Scott gave him a large smile. "What if he's actually back though? What do we do then?"

Derek gave Scott a look filled with grief and anxiety, knowing there was no point in trying to calm his heart rate."We kill him, before he kills us."

A/N: DAH DAH DAH!

1:30PM, BHHS library

"So what did you get for number 7?" Jackson asked, leaning on Isaac's shoulders to get a better view. Isaac's neat, slanted handwriting was scribbled all over the page with highlighting and underlines covering most of it. Jackson was jealous of being bested by a fourteen year old but he would suppress it so he could use it for his own advantage.

Isaac was having an OK day so far. Harris and his cronies were still in BHMH recovering and without his main antagonizers he could count the number of locker shoves he got on one hand.

Isaac sighed and slid his spiral notebook over to Jackson. "You're lucky I'm in such a good mood."

"I was going to copy off you anyways so... ." Jackson smiled and moved the notebook closer to himself. Jackson, Danny, Isaac, and Lydia were in a study group as they all had the same spare. They were basically the only ones in the library as they had all taken math in summer school; so while everyone else in their grade was suffering through math, they were throwing paper balls back and forth between each other and studying (a.k.a only Lydia and Isaac).

The paper ball whacked Isaac in the forehead and, in retaliation, he picked up the ball and whipped it at Jackson. It went way over his head and hit the innocent librarian stacking shelves. Isaac blushed in embarrassment as Danny and Jackson laughed. Lydia was the only one who apologized to the scowling lady that seemed to be as old as the school itself. Her wrinkled, tired face and droopy eyes reminded Isaac very much of a pug. Of course, she was a very grey, yellow teethed pug but a pug nonetheless. He doubted she'd like his comparison of her though. Thankfully, unlike Stiles he did have a filter; he just sometimes couldn't figure out how to use it, and that usually got him pummelled.

The librarian glared at them but since Lydia and Isaac, the two smartest kids in the school who helped the librarian out on odd days, was with them she let it go with only a glare as a warning.

Jackson snorted and copied down some more answers from Isaac's notebook. "Sometimes it great having two of the biggest nerds in the school as friends." That got two more balls thrown at him from both nerds.

And got them all kicked out.

Time stamp: 3:45

From: Derek Hale To: babywolf

Pack meeting after school! Attendance is mandatory. This includes YOU TOO Jackson.

Isaac chuckled when he read the last part of the texts. Jackson had occasionally been missing Pack meetings to hang out with sultry women who, although they were human, can definitely be classified as cougars.

To: Alpha Hale

I can come but I need to leave at around 9. I have a group project I need to work on at Mason's house.

-Isaac

Isaac bit his lip anxiously; it was one of his most obvious, and notorious, nervous ticks. He hated lying to his Alpha but this was the only way to get to Hayden. If he told him in person, Derek could hear his heart beat and would know he was lying through his teeth to the first man he trusted since his father's death.

From: Derek Hale

No problem, glad you're still on top of your schoolwork even with all the drama going on. I'm proud of you pup

Isaac sighed in relief as he read Derek's reply. Liam, letting the curiosity get the best of him, leaned over Isaac's shoulder to peak at the text. They had last period together and since their Gym teacher was sick today, they had a free period now so they were 'studying' together in the library. Isaac made them sit in the back corner of the library so the librarian that kicked them out wouldn't see him. They would've left for home already but neither of them had their license, nor any means of transportation. Also, Derek liked his pack to travel in packs, or at least a group of two, so no one would be vulnerable to an attack and Isaac wasn't in any form for fighting.

"Judging by your heart rate, you don't actually have a group project with Mason do you?" Liam inquired with raised eyebrows. When the 'Golden Pup' was being naughty you better watch your back for the apocalypse.

"Nope," Isaac replied, popping the P. He felt a wave of adrenaline surge through his body. "Tell the Alpha and I'll tell Derek where you hid the Playboy magazines."

Liam grumbled and went back to his history homework. "I have no privacy in this Pack, a$$holes!" he muttered under his breath, knowing full well that Isaac could hear him.

Isaac shook his head in amusement and replied to Derek.

To: Alpha Hale

K, thanks. I'll have my phone on me and apsjeueuhfje...sorry Liam was eager to play Flappy Bird, he dropped his phone in the toilet yesterday.

-Isaac

From: Derek Hale

Teenagers...

Thursday 9:30PM, Breadstix restaurant (from Glee :p, I'm so creative)

Isaac rung his hands together nervously as he waited for his date to arrive. He glanced at his phone to look at the time. She was 5 minutes late and he got more nervous the longer he waited. He heard a bing and his heart soared but when he unlocked his lock screen he saw that it was just Liam wishing him luck. Oh, and he wasn't missing anything important. Stiles and Derek were arguing about Star Wars, once again.

"Are you ready to order?" A bored looking waitress asked. She chomped loudly on her chewing gum as if to clarify that she didn't want to be here. You know, as if her non-regulation combat boots, dyed pink hair, and eyebrow piercing didn't scream rebel enough for you, Isaac thought sarcastically.

"I told you, I'm waiting for someone." Isaac growled. He was growing more and more stressed as the clock ticked by. It wasn't like Hayden to not show up without texting first. That girl was more attached to her phone then white girls are to Starbucks (no offence).

He looked up and spotted a flock of black hair running inside and when the flock of hair lifted her head so Isaac could get a clear shot of her face, he gasped. Hayden looked even more beautiful then she did at school when she asked him out. She was a wearing a casual dress in glimmering gold with a black clutch in her hand and her hair pulled back in a low ponytail. Isaac adjusted his suit nervously, feeling schlumpy in his most fancy clothing that he spent hours examining himself in the mirror. Mason swore up and down, as did Liam, that he was dressed fine and it literally took Liam physically pushing him out of the car, he was that scared. This was his first date, EVER! Stiles and Derek, ever the Pack parents, made a rule that he couldn't date until he was 15 which he was turning in a few weeks. That's another reason why he couldn't tell Stiles or Derek. Telling Scott was even a stretch but he fully trusted Liam and Mason to keep his secret since he had leverage on them. He knew that Derek would ground them both from Pack nights if he ever found out that they liked to regulate Cinema on weeknights.

"I am so sorry," She said gasping for breath. "My sister forgot to fill up the gas tank so I had to stop and get some and the guy behind the counter was being completely unhelpful and totally ignored me and- Sorry, I'm rambling."

Isaac chuckled and stood up to pull the chair out for Hayden. "It's fine, I'm friends with Stiles remember." She laughed along with him. "Here you go, I haven't ordered yet. I was waiting for you." His stomach grumbled as Hayden sat down and red blush filled her cheeks. "But it's fine, I'm used to waiting for food for days. I mean-" He plopped down in his chair and put his head in his hands.

"Isaac." Hayden reached out and took one of his hands. "It's fine, I know about your dad and I don't care. We all have secrets in our lives that leave scars. Lets just take a deep breath and start again." Isaac smiled and took a deep breath.

Hayden held her hand out above the table. "Hi, I'm Hayden." Isaac laughed and shook her hand.

"Hi Hayden, I'm Isaac." He said. He really liked how casual and easy going Hayden was being. Most girls (and teachers) treated him with kid gloves after everything was let out in the papers about his abuse. Derek threatened to file for violation of piracy but Isaac just wanted it to all disappear and a court case, with the sheriff's son on his side nonetheless, would be a huge deal and Isaac was tired of being gawked at all the time.

"Well Isaac it's a pleasure to meet you," She said in-between giggles. "Should we order now?"

"Yes!" Isaac said eagerly. He lifted the menu up and flipped through pages as Hayden laughed at his eagerness but unlike at school, Isaac knew she was laughing with him.

"Well, we obviously have to order breadsticks." Hayden chuckled trying to rectify the situation. Isaac 'mmhmm-ed' as his eyes scanned the dark brown printed page.

"So, you're a Junior right?" She inquired as her eyes scanned the muddled pages. They really needed new menu's Isaac thought, although he did think Hayden was adorable when she squinted her eyes that caused a little crease to appear in between her eyebrows.

"Ya but I'm 14. I skipped a whole bunch of grades." Isaac said vaguely. He was proud of his achievements but he didn't want to sound like he was bragging. Also, didn't she know this already? Everyone and their mother seemed to know he was 14 and skipped two grades. Nonetheless, Hayden looked impress, and smelled like it too, and Isaac felt proud. He knew his Pack was proud of him but knowing that someone he'd just met was impressed with his brain as well was a new experience for him.

"That's sooo cool! I wish I could skip over my classes now. Everyone in my Law class are such idiots! Like, get this, so we're discussing immigration and one guy says-"

"ISAAC!" Jackson burst through the restaurants front doors and scanned the area like an over eager puppy looking for a thrown ball. He located Isaac and despite Isaac murmuring 'don't come', which Jackson TOTALLY could've heard, the over eager puppy ran to Isaac and his date's table. "C'mon man!" He tugged at Isaac's arm. "911!" Isaac didn't even have time to process exactly why Jackson knew he would be at Breadstix since Jackson was physically pulling him out of the restaurant

Isaac glanced at Hayden's shocked face and gave her an apologetic look as he was dragged out with his Pack brother. He had to start running to keep up with Jackson's speed.

"I'LL TEXT YOU!" He yelled as he ran out of the restaurant.

BHHS, Spare/Lunch

Scott and Stiles were howling with laughter once Isaac was done telling his tale at the bleachers during their spares and Isaac's lunch. Malia, who was assigned to Isaac during his lunch, had to go and talk to her math teacher about her homework.

Isaac glanced at his phone and sighed when the screen remained blank. Hayden had never replied to his many apology texts that Stiles said was verging on creepy. He felt so bad for leaving her alone at Breadstix for the 911 call. The 911 turned out to be an Omega wolf who was found injured in the forest with Peter Hales' scent on her. Derek and Jackson were taking her to a preserve who are friends of Derek's and who have promised to take her in as their own.

It turns out that Derek went to Mason's house to find Isaac when the preserve told Derek what happened and Mason hadn't been quick enough on his feet to lie. Luckily, Derek decided that since Isaac never finished his date and had to leave before they had even ordered, that Isaac would only be grounded for the weekend.

"I didn't find it very funny," Isaac pouted. He had his math homework spread out in front of him and was purposely playing ignorant at Scott's failing attempts at discretely copying off of him. Scott and Stiles were too busy laughing and making nonsensical sounds to do math though. Isaac was feeling very slighted and angry at the disrespect his pack mates were giving him. Here he was, spilling his guts about an embarrassing event that happened to him, ON HIS FIRST DATE NONETHELESS, and they were laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes. Scott could smell Isaac's agitation and tried to calm himself down.

"Dude, d-d-dude," Scott gasped, "Wow we are so much alike." He sputtered before laughing again. Isaac crossed his arms and let out a low growl.

Scott and Stiles gasped for air so they could explain that they weren't making fun of him.

"N-no dude." Scott said in between deep breaths and quiet laughter. "Man, maybe we are related. I did something very similar with Allison." Isaac waited for Stiles and Scott's happy mood to smell of something like sadness, regret and, at least in Stiles' place, guilt. However, that didn't happen. Their moods remained elated as Scott told Isaac when he first started to shift during the Party he and Allison were at.

Now that Isaac understood he was laughing with them just as hard.

"Oh man," Isaac sighed and wiped away tears. "But she forgave you, right?"

"Ya man," Scott sighed as the laughter began dying down. "You better go find her though, she looks like the type to make boys beg. Don't wait another second." Isaac handed his notebook full of answers to Scott who look slightly ashamed and ran down the bleachers into BHHS.

"SEE YOU IN P.E." Stiles yelled after him as the doors closed.

Isaac ran down the hallway to Hayden's locker but skidded to a stop when he saw Liam talking to her. He could smell Liam's emotions of lust and just smelling Hayden's returned wave of emotional love sweep over him like a humiliating sea was almost too much for the 14 year old Junior. He felt his wolf thump against his chest, begging to be released.

He walked up to Liam, his hands balled into fists, and growled. Hayden jumped and spun around. When she immediately spotting him, her love turned to anger and humiliation. She pivoted and stormed the other way, swaying her hips as if timed to music.

Liam looked at Isaac, a big goofy grin from his previous conversation still plastered on his face. "Dude, I just scored myself a date." He was completely unaware of Isaac's emotions, still on his Hayden high. Everyone in the Pack knew his dad had gone sour, they just didn't know the details. Liam just thought that him and Hayden didn't click and Isaac never felt a reason to correct him. That was probably his biggest mistake. "I don't know how you let her go," Liam continued, seeming oblivious to Isaac's strong emotions of hurt and anger.

And for the first time, in a long time, Isaac was contemplating ignoring Derek's 'no violence at school' rule. He was seriously considering it.

A/N: Like it? Give me a review. Creative criticism can help a writer learn and expand their skills. Don't be a stranger!

Did I make Isaac a bit to OOC? Was he too angry?
